14 Y David se conducía prudentemente en todos sus negocios, y Jehová era con él.

15 Y viendo Saúl que se portaba tan prudentemente, temíase de él.

16 Mas todo Israel y Judá amaba á David, porque él salía y entraba delante de ellos.

17 Y dijo Saúl á David: He aquí yo te daré á Merab mi hija mayor por mujer: solamente que me seas hombre valiente, y hagas las guerras de Jehová. Mas Saúl decía: No será mi mano contra él, mas la mano de los Filisteos será contra él.

18 Y David respondió á Saúl: ¿Quién soy yo, ó qué es mi vida, ó la familia de mi padre en Israel, para ser yerno del rey?
