1 Samuel 18:23 in Context — 1 Samuel 18
21 E Saul disse: Eu a darei a ele, para que lhe seja por armadilha, e para que a mão dos filisteus seja contra ele. Disse, pois, Saul a Davi: Com a outra serás meu genro hoje.
22 E mandou Saul a seus criados: Falai em secreto a Davi, dizendo-lhe: Eis que, o rei te ama, e todos seus criados te querem bem; sê, pois, genro do rei.
23 E os criados de Saul falaram estas palavras aos ouvidos de Davi. E Davi disse: Parece-vos que é pouco ser genro do rei, sendo eu um homem pobre e de nenhuma estima?
24 E os criados de Saul lhe deram a resposta dizendo: Tais palavras disse Davi.
25 E Saul disse: Dizei assim a Davi: Não está o contentamento do rei no dote, mas sim em cem prepúcios de filisteus, para que seja tomada vingança dos inimigos do rei. Mas Saul pensava lançar a Davi em mãos dos filisteus.
