A. THE BEGINNING OF THE JEALOUSY

And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter

of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel,

singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels, with joy, and

with instruments of music. And the women sang one to another as they

played, and said,

Saul hath slain his thousands,

And David his ten thousands.

And Saul was very wroth, and this saying displeased him; and he said,

"They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have

ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?" And

Saul eyed David from that day and forward.

And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife. And Saul saw and knew

that the Lord was with David; and Michal Saul's daughter loved him. And

Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy

continually.
