সামুয়েল ১ 18:17

এদিকে শৌল দায়ূদকে মারতে চান| তিনি একটা মতলব আঁটলেন| তিনি দায়ূদকে বললেন, “আমার বড় মেয়ের নাম মেরব| তুমি তাকে বিয়ে কর| তাহলে তুমি আরও শক্তিশালী সৈন্য হতে পারবে| তুমি আমার পুত্রের মতো হবে| প্রভুর জন্য সব যুদ্ধক্ষেত্রে তুমি যুদ্ধ করবে!এসব ছিল শৌলের ছল চাতুরি| আসলে তিনি ভেবেছিলেন, “আমাকে আর দায়ূদকে মারতে হবে না| পলেষ্টীয়দেরই এগিয়ে দেব আমার হয়ে ওকে মারবার জন্য|”
