1 Samuel 18:15 in Context — 1 Samuel 18

13 Il l’éloigna de sa personne, et il l’établit chef de mille hommes. David sortait et rentrait à la tête du peuple;

14 il réussissait dans toutes ses entreprises, et l’Éternel était avec lui.

15 Saül, voyant qu’il réussissait toujours, avait peur de lui;

16 mais tout Israël et Juda aimaient David, parce qu’il sortait et rentrait à leur tête.

17 Saül dit à David: Voici, je te donnerai pour femme ma fille aînée Mérab; sers-moi seulement avec vaillance, et soutiens les guerres de l’Éternel. Or Saül se disait: Je ne veux pas mettre la main sur lui, mais que la main des Philistins soit sur lui.
