Contextual Overview

¹² And Saul went in fear of David, because the Lord was with David and had gone away from Saul. ¹³ So Saul sent him away, and made him a captain over a thousand; and he went about his business before the people. ¹⁴ And in all his undertakings David did wisely; and the Lord was with him. ¹⁵ And when Saul saw how wisely he did, he was in fear of him. ¹⁶ But David was loved by all Israel and Judah, for he went out and came in before them. ¹⁷ And Saul said to David, Here is my oldest daughter Merab, whom I will give you for your wife: only be strong for me, fighting in the Lord's wars. For Saul said, Let it not be through me that his fate comes to him, but through the Philistines. ¹⁸ And David said to Saul, Who am I, and what is my father's family in Israel, that I am to be son-in-law to the king? ¹⁹ But when the time came to give Merab, Saul's daughter, to David, she was given to Adriel of Meholath. ²⁰ And Saul's daughter Michal was in love with David: and Saul had word of it and was pleased. ²¹ And Saul said, I will give her to him, so that she may be a cause of danger to him, and so that the hands of the Philistines may be against him. So Saul said to David, Today you are to become my son-in-law for the second time.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways,.... Both in the court and in the camp, in whatsoever service he was employed; or "prospered" u, as the word also signifies; for, generally speaking, those that behave wisely succeed well; in this he was a type of Christ, Isaiah 52:13; the reason of it follows,

and the Lord [was] with him; from whom he had his wisdom and success; the Targum is,

"the Word of the Lord was for his help.''

u משכיל "prospere admodum res gerebat", Vatablus; "secundabatur", Junius Tremellius, Piscator so the Targum and Jarchi.
