1 Samuel 18:15

New English Translation

When Saul saw how very successful he was, he was afraid of him.

See the chapter Copy

It goes well for the one who generously lends money, and conducts his business honestly.

Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunities.

But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without reprimand, and it will be given to him.

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and not hypocritical.

So Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him but had departed from Saul.

Now David achieved success in all he did, for the Lord was with him.

But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he was the one leading them out to battle and back.
