Contextual Overview
12 And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul himself. 13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him a captain over a thousand men, and he went out and came in before the people. 14 And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him. 15 And Saul saw that he was exceeding prudent, and began to beware of him. 16 But all Israel and Juda loved David, for he came in and went out before them. 17 And Saul said to David: Behold my elder daughter Merob, her will I give thee to wife: only be a valiant man, and fight the battles of the Lord. Now Saul said within himself: Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon him. 18 And David said to Saul: Who am I, or what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son in law of the king? 19 And it came to pass at the time when Merob, the daughter of Saul, should have been given to David, that she was given to Hadriel, the Molathite, to wife. 20 But Michol, the other daughter of Saul, loved David. And it was told Saul, and it pleased him. 21 And Saul said: I will give her to him, that she may be a stumblingblock to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be upon him. And Saul said to David: In two things thou shalt be my son in law this day.

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.
