Contextual Overview

12 Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him but had left Saul. 13 So Saul made David go away from him, and had him lead a thousand men. And David went out to the people. 14 David did well in all that he did, because the Lord was with him. 15 When Saul saw how well he did, he was afraid of him. 16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he went out and came in before them. 17 Then Saul said to David, "Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you as a wife, if you only work for me with strength of heart and fight the Lord's battles." For Saul thought, "I will not go against him. Let the Philistines go against him." 18 David said to Saul, "Who am I? What is my life or my father's family in Israel, that I should be the king's son-in-law?" 19 But at the time when Saul's daughter Merab should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife. 20 Now Saul's daughter Michal loved David. When they told Saul, it pleased him. 21 Saul thought, "I will give her to David. I will use her to trap him, and the Philistines will go against him." So Saul said to David a second time, "Now you may be my son-in-law."

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.
