1 Samuel 18 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) David and Jonathan Become Friends 18 Saul decided to take David with him. He would not let David go back home to his father. After David finished talking with Saul, Jonathan developed a strong friendship with David. 3 Jonathan loved David as much as himself, so they made a special agreement. 4 Jonathan took off the coat he was wearing and gave it to David. In fact, Jonathan gave David his whole uniform—including his sword, his bow, and even his belt. Saul Notices David’s Success 5 David went to fight wherever Saul sent him. He was very successful, so Saul put him in charge of the soldiers. This pleased everyone, even Saul’s officers. 6 David would go out to fight against the Philistines. On the way home, after the battles, women in every town in Israel would come out to meet him. They sang and danced for joy as they played their tambourines and lyres. They did this right in front of Saul! 7 The women sang, “Saul has killed his thousands, but David has killed tens of thousands.” 8 This song upset Saul and he became very angry. Saul thought, “The women give David credit for killing tens of thousands of the enemy, and they give me credit for only thousands. A little more of this and they will give him the kingdom itself!” 9 So from that time on, Saul watched David very closely. Saul Is Afraid of David 10 The next day, an evil spirit from God took control of Saul and he went wild in his house. David played the harp to calm him as he usually did, 11 but Saul had a spear in his hand. He thought, “I’ll pin David to the wall.” Saul threw the spear twice, but David jumped out of the way both times. 12 The Lord had left Saul and was now with David, so Saul was afraid of David. 13 Saul sent David away and made him a commander over 1000 soldiers. This put David out among the men even more as they went into battle and returned. 14 The Lord was with David, so he was successful in everything. 15 Saul saw how successful David was and became even more afraid of him. 16 But all the people in Israel and Judah loved David because he was out among them and led them into battle. Saul Wants His Daughter to Marry David 17 One day Saul said to David, “Here is my oldest daughter, Merab. I will let you marry her. Then you will be like a son to me and you will be a real soldier. Then you will go and fight the Lord’s battles.” Saul was really thinking, “Now I won’t have to kill David. I will let the Philistines kill him for me.” 18 But David said, “I am not an important man from an important family. I can’t marry the king’s daughter.” 19 So when the time came for David to marry Saul’s daughter, Saul let her marry Adriel from Meholah. 20 People told Saul that his daughter Michal loved David. This made Saul happy. 21 He thought, “I will use Michal to trap David. I will let Michal marry David, and then I will let the Philistines kill him.” So Saul said to David a second time, “You can marry my daughter today.” 22 Saul commanded his officers to speak to David in private. He told them to say, “Look, the king likes you. His officers like you. You should marry his daughter.” 23 Saul’s officers said these things to David, but David answered, “Do you think it is easy to become the king’s son-in-law? I am just a poor, ordinary man.” 24 Saul’s officers told Saul what David said. 25 Saul told them, “Say this to David, ‘David, the king doesn’t want you to pay money for his daughter. He wants to get even with his enemy, so the price for marrying his daughter is 100 Philistine foreskins.’” That was Saul’s secret plan. He thought the Philistines would kill David. 26 Saul’s officers told this to David. David was happy that he had a chance to become the king’s son-in-law, so immediately 27 he and his men went out to fight the Philistines. They killed 200 Philistines. David took these Philistine foreskins and gave them to Saul. He did this because he wanted to become the king’s son-in-law. Saul let David marry his daughter Michal. 28 He saw that the Lord was with David and he also saw that his daughter, Michal, loved David. 29 So Saul became even more afraid of David and was against him all that time. 30 The Philistine commanders continued to go out to fight the Israelites, but David defeated them every time. He became famous as Saul’s best officer.

1 शमूएल 23Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) दाऊद कीलाको नगरमा 23 मानिसहरूले दाऊदलाई भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, पलिश्तीहरूले कीलाको शहरमाथि आक्रमण गरिरहेका छन्। खलाबाट तिनीहरूले अन्न लूट्न शुरू गरे।” 2 दाऊदले परमप्रभुलाई सोधे, “के मैले पलिश्तीहरू विरूद्ध युद्ध गर्न जानु?” परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले दाऊदलाई भन्नु भयो, “जाऊ र पलिश्तीहरूमाथि जाइ लाग अनि कीला शहरको रक्षा गर।” 3 तर दाऊदका मानिसहरूले भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, हामी यहाँ यहूदामा डराएर बसिरहेका छौं। साँच्चै पलिश्ती सेनाहरू अघि पुग्दा हामी झन् ज्यादा डराउने छौं।” 4 दाऊदले फेरि परमप्रभुलाई सोधे अनि परमप्रभुले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “कीलामा जाऊ। म पलिश्तीहरूलाई हराउन म सहयोग गर्ने छु।” 5 यसरी दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरू कीलामा गए। दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरू पलिश्तीसँग लडे। दाऊदका मानिसहरूले पलिश्तीहरूलाई हराए अनि तिनीहरूका पशु लिए। यसरी दाऊदले कीलाका मानिसहरूलाई बँचाए। 6 (जब एबीयातार भागेर दाऊदकहाँ पुगे तिनले आफूसँग एउटा एपोद पनि लगेका थिए।) 7 मानिसहरूले शाऊललाई अहिले दाऊद कीलामा छ भनेर सुनाए। शाऊलले भने, “परमेश्वरले दाऊदलाई मेरा हातमा सुम्पिनु भएको छ। दाऊद फन्दामा परेकोछ। ऊ यस्तो शहरमा पस्यो जहाँ ढोकाहरू छन् र ढोकाहरूमा ताला लगाउने बारहरू छन्।” 8 शाऊलले आफ्ना सारा सेनाहरूलाई लडाईंकोलागि भेला गराए। ती सेनाहरू कीलामा दाऊदका मानिसहरूसँग युद्ध गर्न तयार रहे। 9 शाऊलले दाऊदको विरूद्धमा बनाएको योजना उसलाई थाहा भयो। दाऊदले पूजाहारी एबीयातारलाई भने, “एपोद ल्याऊ।” 10 दाऊदले प्रार्थना गरे, “हे परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर, मैले सुनें कि मेरो कारण शाऊलले यो शहर नष्ट गर्ने योजना बनाउँदैछ। 11 के साँच्चै हुन आउँछ? के किलाका मानिसहरूले म र मेरो मानिसहरूलाई शाऊलको हातमा सुम्पी देलान्? परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वर, म तपाईंको दास हुँ। मलाई बताउँनुहोस्।” परमप्रभुले भन्नु भयो, “हो यो हुन आउँछ।” 12 दाऊदले फेरि आफ्नो प्रश्न दोहोर्याए, “के कीलाका मानिसहरूले मलाई शाऊलका हातमा सुम्पिनेछन्?” परमप्रभुले भन्नु भयो, “तिनीहरूले त्यसै गर्नेछन्।” 13 त्यसर्थ दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरूले कीला छोडिदिए। दाऊदसँगै जानेहरू प्रायः 600 मानिस थिए। दाऊदको र उसका मानिसहरू एक ठाउँ देखि अर्को ठाउँ हुँदै घुमिरहे। शाऊलले दाऊद किलाबाट भागे भन्ने थाहा पाए। यसर्थ शाऊल त्यस शहरतिर गएनन्। शाऊलले दाऊदको खेदो गर्छन् 14 दाऊद मरुभूमिको किल्लामा बस्न पुगे। दाऊद जीपको मरुभूमिको पहाडी क्षेत्रमा गए। शाऊलले सधै नै दाऊदको खोजी गर्थे, तर परमप्रभुले शाऊलको हातबाट दाऊदलाई जोगाउनु हुन्थ्यो। 15 दाऊद जीपको मरुभूमिको होरेश भन्ने ठाउँमा थिए। त्यहाँ शाऊल दाऊदललाई मार्न आइरहेकाले तिनी साह्रै डराए। 16 तर शाऊलको छोरा जोनाथन दाऊदलाई भेट्न होरेश गए। जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई परमेश्वरलाई विश्वास गर्न अझ जोड गरे। 17 जोनाथनले दाऊदलाई भने, “डराउनु पर्दैन। मेरा पिता शाऊलले तपाईंलाई हानि गर्ने छैनन्। तपाईं इस्राएलका राजा हुनुहुनेछ। मचाहिं तपाईं पछिको हुनेछु। यो कुरा मेरा पिताले पनि जान्दछन्।” 18 जोनाथन र दाऊद दुवैले परमप्रभु अघि एउटा बाचा-बन्धन गरे। त्यसपछि जोनाथन घरतिर लागे अनि दाऊद होरेशमानै बसे। जीपका मानिसहरूले शाऊललाई दाऊदबारे बताउँछन् 19 जीपका बासिन्दाहरू गिबामा शाऊललाई भेट्न आए। तिनीहरूले शाऊललाई भने, “दाऊद हाम्रै क्षेत्रमा लुकेरहेका छन्। ऊ हकीला पहाडको होरेश नाउँको किल्लामा छन्, जो यशीमोनको दक्षिणमा पर्छ। 20 अब, महाराज, तपाईं जहिले आए पनि हुन्छ। दाऊदलाई तपाईंको जिम्मा लगाउने काम हाम्रो भयो।” 21 शाऊलले जवाफ दिए, “परमप्रभुले मलाई सहायता गरेकोमा तिमीहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिऊन्। 22 जाऊ र उसको बारे अझ जानकारी लेऊ। दाऊद कहाँ बस्छ थाहा गर। दाऊदलाई त्यहाँ कसले देख्छ त्यो पनि बुझिराख। शाऊलले मनमनै विचारे, ‘दाऊद साह्रै चलाख छ। उसले मलाई छक्याउनँ सक्छ।’ 23 दाऊद लुकेको ठाउँहरू पत्ता लगाऊ। त्यसपछि आएर मलाई वृतान्त बताऊ। त्यस पछि म तिमीहरूसित जानेछु। यदि दाऊद ती ठाँउहरूमा कतै छ भने यहूदाको प्रत्येक घरहरूमा छापामारेर म त्यसलाई पत्तालगाउँनेछु।” 24 अनि जीपका मानिसहरू जीपमा फर्किए पछि शाऊल त्यहाँ गए। दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरू यशीमोनको दक्षिणमा भएको अराबाको माओन वनमा थिए। 25 शाऊल र तिनका मानिसहरू दाऊदको खोजीमा गए। तर मानिसहरूले दाऊदलाई होसियार गराए। शाऊलले तिमीलाई खोज्दै छ भनेर खबर दिए। त्यसपछि दाऊद माओनको मरुभूमिको तल चट्टानतिर गए। शाऊलले दाऊद माओनको मरुभूमितिर गएको कुरा थाहा पाए। यसरी शाऊल दाऊदको खोजीमा त्यस ठाउँतिर गए। 26 शाऊल पहाडको एकापट्टि थिए, त्यही पहाडको अर्कोपट्टि दाऊद र तिनका मानिसहरू थिए। दाऊद शाऊलको पञ्जाबाट बाँच्न हतारिदै थिए। शाऊल र उसका सिपाहीहरू दाऊदलाई पक्रन पहाडको चारैतिर घुमिरहेका थिए। 27 त्यत्ति नै बेला एउटा समाचार-वाहक शाऊल कहाँ आयो अनि जानकारी दियो, “चाँडो आउनुहोस् पलिश्तीहरूले हामीलाई आक्रमण गर्दैछन्।” 28 यसकारण शाऊलले दाऊदको पिछा गर्न छोडे अनि पलिश्तीहरूसँग लडन गए। यही कारण मानिसहरूले त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ “छुट्टयाउने चट्टान” भन्न थाले। 29 दाऊद माओनको मरुभूमि त्यागेर एनगदीको छेउको किल्लामा गए।
