And Saul said to David, Behold, my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight Jehovah's battles. For Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.
And Saul seide to Dauid, Lo! my more douytir Merob, Y schal yiue her wijf to þee; oneli be thou a strong man, and fiyte thou þe batels of þe Lord. Forsoþe Saul arettide, and seide, Myn hond be not in hym, but þe hond of Filisteis be on hym.
