Gen Z: 1 Samuel 18
1So, after he finished chatting with Saul, Jonathan and David were like soul bros, and Jonathan loved him like fam.
2Saul was like, "Nah, you ain't going home today," and kept David close.
3Jonathan and David were tight and made a pact 'cause they loved each other like their own souls.
4Jonathan was like, "Here, take my drip," and gave David his robe, clothes, sword, bow, and belt.
5David was out here doing his thing whenever Saul sent him, and he was wise about it. Saul was like, "You’re my war chief now," and everyone was vibing with David, even Saul's crew.
6When David came back from taking out the Philistine, the women from all over Israel were out here singing and dancing to welcome King Saul, bringing all the good vibes.
7The ladies were hyping each other up, saying, "Saul took down thousands, but David? He’s got ten thousands!"
8Saul was mad salty and didn’t like the hype; he was like, "They’re giving David all the credit, and I’m just sitting here with my thousands. What’s next for him, the whole kingdom?"
9From that day on, Saul was low-key watching David, sus vibes for sure.
10The next day, an evil spirit hit Saul, and he was prophesying in the house while David was playing like usual, and Saul had a javelin ready to throw.
11Saul threw the javelin, like, "I'ma take David out, no cap." But David dodged that twice, savage moves.
12Saul was shook of David, 'cause the Lord was vibing with him and dipped on Saul.
13So Saul switched it up, made David captain over a thousand; he was out there flexing in front of the people.
14David was straight-up wise in all his moves; the Lord was riding with him.
15When Saul peeped how wise David was, he got mad sus.
16But all of Israel and Judah were lowkey obsessed with David, 'cause he was out there showing up for them.
17Saul told David, "Yo, check it, my oldest daughter Merab is yours if you pop off and fight for the Lord. Just know, I'm not taking you out; let the Philistines handle that."
18David replied, "Who am I? What's my life or my fam in Israel that I should be the king's son-in-law?"
19But when the time came for Merab to be given to David, she got hitched to Adriel the Meholathite instead.
20And Michal, Saul's daughter, had major rizz for David; they told Saul, and he was totally down with it.
21Saul was like, "Bet, I’ll hook him up with her to trap him, and the Philistines will come at him. So, David, you’re gonna be my son-in-law today, no cap."
22Saul told his crew, "Yo, go talk to David lowkey and say, 'The king’s vibin’ with you, and all his peeps love you. So, why not be the king's son-in-law?'"
23Saul's homies dropped that on David, and he was like, "Y’all think it’s chill to be a king’s son-in-law when I’m just a broke dude with no rizz?"
24Saul's crew told him what David said.
25Saul was like, "Here’s what you tell David: The king wants no dowry, just a hundred foreskins from the Philistines to get back at my enemies. But for real, I’m just trying to set him up to fail."
26When his crew told David this, he was hyped to be the king’s son-in-law, and the time wasn’t up yet.
27So, David got up with his squad and took out two hundred Philistines; he brought their foreskins back and gave them to the king to be the son-in-law. Saul then gave him Michal, his daughter, as a wife.
28Saul peeped that the Lord was with David and that Michal, his daughter, was totally into him.
29Saul got even more shook of David; he became David’s enemy for real.
30Then the Philistine leaders rolled out, and after they left, David played it smarter than all of Saul’s crew, so everyone was vibing with his name.
