1 Samuel 18:17Wycliffe's Bible with Modern SpellingAnd Saul said to David, Lo! mine elder daughter Merab, I shall give her for a wife to thee; only be thou a strong man, and fight thou the Lord’s battles. Forsooth Saul areckoned, and said, Mine hand be not in him, but the hand of Philistines be on him. See the chapter |
And each man of Israel said to other, Whether thou hast seen this man that hath gone up? forsooth he went up to say shame or reproof to Israel; therefore the king shall make rich with great riches the man that slayeth that Philistine; and the king shall give his daughter to that man, and shall make the house of his father without having to pay tribute in Israel.
