tion could have pleased them more
than his elevation to a place in the
royal household.
The willy Saul upon hearing David's
plea of poverty, commanded his SER
wants to say to David that the only
dowry he required was proof that
David had slain one hundred Philis-
tines, thinking that he could not pos
sibly escape with his life from such
campaign. Upon hearing the terms
of the dowry, David consented to be-
come the kings son-in-law and in
due season brought to Saul indisput-
able proof that he had slain one hun
dred of his enemies.
1t was not possible to trife longer,
or to exact further proof of David's
soldiery skill. The king therefore gave
him Michael his daughter to wife. .
Instead of becoming a snare to him
as Saul hoped and believed would be
the case, Michael was at first a loyal,
devoted wife, truly loving her hus-
band and placing his interests and well
fare above everything else. In this
Saul found new evidence of the divine
favor as special gift to David, and
became yet more afraid Of him. This
increasing fear led to more relent-
less enmity, in spite of which David's
popularity grew by leaps and bounds,
largely because he never permitted
either Saul's secret hate or his overt
acts of hostility to arouse his antag-
onism. To David Saul was ever the
Lords anointed, and under no provo
cation would he lift up his hand against
him.
The time was not far distant when
| David would give abundant proof of
the finest loyalty subject ever given
to king, or son-in-law to fatner-in
His whole manner Of life and conduct
evidenced his firm belief in the we'll
known if not universally accepted
truth of the Old Testament: "Ven-
geance is mine. 1 will repay, saith the
Lord"
Nevertheless Saul continued his
efforts to kill David, even attempt
ing to turn his servants and Jona-
than his son into band of assassins
for this purpose. But Jonathan, whose
love for David had never slackened,
gave him due and timely warning of
this danger, and bade him hide until
the plot could be broken up.

THE MARYLAND BIBLE
SOCIETY'S CORNER
''The Word Of Our God Shall
Stand Forever"
DAVID BECOMES. A NATIONAL
HERO

The whole camp was buzzing with
inquiries concerning the identity of
this STRIPPING whose prowess received
the praise of all. The King inquired of
Abner, saying, whose son is this youth;
but Abner could not, tell. So Abner
sought out David and brought him
before Saul, who was ,gEeatly i'm
pressed with the simple sincerity and
noble bearing of the youth. Jonathan,
heir apparent to Saul's'' throne, was
standing by while his father talked
with the young man, and his soul was
knit with the soul of David in everlast-
ing friendship. 1t is written that JON
athan loved him as his own soul. In
token of his esteem Jonathan clothed
David in his own princely garments,
even to his sword, bow and girdle.
Saul made him commandef-in-chief of
his army and sort of privy council
lor. In all Of this David behaved
wisely, and gave no sign of self-con-
ceit. His conduct was so excellent
that he was accepted in the sight of all
the people.
Now it happened as David was re-
turning from the slaughter of the
Phihstines, that the women came out
of all the cities of Israel, singing and
dancing, to meet King Saul. joy
abounded and music filled the air. If

minstrels had only been tempered with
diplomacy, harmony might have pre-
vailed; but moved with admiration for
the youthful champion, whose ruddy
countenance and 1.-THE form appealed
to them quite as strongly as his val
orous deeds, they improvised a chant
of victory to which they sang: "Saul
hath slain his thousands, and David
his ten thousands" Now this was pure
hyperbole; for at that time David had
slain a lion, a bear a few marauding
wolves and an overgrown Philistine.
But the king was angry because he
was belittled by his fair subjects.
Eyeing David with jealousy from that
day, Saul said: "They have ascribed
unto him ten thousands, and to me
they have ascribed but thousands and
what can he have more than the king
dom?" o, girls; girls! your adulations
have we'll nigh ruined the young hero,
who in your eyes is combination of
Apollo and Hercules.
Saul's jealousy only added to the
black melancholy which had settled
upon him after his unfortunate leni-
ency toward Agag Of the Amalekites.
On the next day following David's
triumphal entry, the evil spirit came
upon Saul, and he raved in the fury
of his i'll temper, David meanwhile
striving to soothe him with harp and
psalm. The king had a javelin in his
hand with which he tried to pin David
to the wall, but the agile youngster
twice avoided the weapon. Then was
Saul truly afraid of David, perceiv-
ing that the Lord was with him. The
more wisely did he behave, the more
the king feared him. But all Israel
and Judah loved David as he went
out and came in before them.
Then Saul did strange thing, but
an act full of guile as all of his actions
were at this time. Finding that his
efforts to slay the young courtier with
his own hand all proved abortive, he
planned to send him against the Phil
istines, hoping he might lose his
life in battle. Accordingly he offered
him the hand of his eldest daughter,
Merab, in marriage, upon condition
that he would valiantly fight the Lords
battles against the Philistines. With
becoming modesty David replies:
"Who am I, and what is my life, or my
fathers family in Israel, that 1 should
be son-in-law to the king?" David full
filled his part of the marriage contract,
but when it came to pass when Merab,
SauPs daughter, should have been
given to David, that she was given
unto Adriel the Meholathite.

DAYID's ROYAL BRIDE

Just when the golden arrow OF
Cupid pierced the heart of Michael
another princess of the house Of Saul
we do not know. But the fact remains
that when her sister, Merab, passed
out of the picture, Michael let it be
known that she loved David and de.
sired to be his wife. Some of his house
hold told Saul, and the thing pleased
him. However, the motive for his con-
currence in MichaePs designs were
far from noble. For we find him ex-
pressing himself in this wise: "I will
give him her, that she may be a snare
to him, and that the hand of the Phil
istines may be against him." For this
reason Saul said to David: "Thou
shalt this day be my son-in-law ir
the one of the twain"
When the delegations from the king
brought to David this royal invita-
tion to marry Michael his answer was
the same as on the previous similar
occasion: "Seemeth it to you light
thing to be kings son-in-law, seeing
that l am poor man, and lightly es-
teemed?" But the kings servants had
a ready answer for all his objections,
assuring him of the kings delight in
him, and of the universal affection of
the people. The last was certainly
true, for the people loved David and
nothing short Of his immediate corona
