Contextual Overview
12 Sha'ul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Sha'ul. 13 Therefore Sha'ul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people. 14 David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him. 15 When Sha'ul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him. 16 But all Yisra'el and Yehudah loved David; for he went out and came in before them. 17 Sha'ul said to David, Behold, my elder daughter Merav, her will I give you as wife: only be valiant for me, and fight the LORD's battles. For Sha'ul said, Don't let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Pelishtim be on him. 18 David said to Sha'ul, Who am I, and what is my life, [or] my father's family in Yisra'el, that I should be son-in-law to the king? 19 But it happened at the time when Merav, Sha'ul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to `Adri'el the Mecholati as wife. 20 Mikhal, Sha'ul's daughter, loved David: and they told Sha'ul, and the thing pleased him. 21 Sha'ul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Pelishtim may be against him. Therefore Sha'ul said to David, You shall this day be my son-in-law a 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.
