Dixitque Saul ad David: Ecce filia mea major Merob: ipsam dabo tibi uxorem: tantummodo esto vir fortis, et præliare bella Domini. Saul autem reputabat, dicens: Non sit manus mea in eum, sed sit super eum manus Philisthinorum.
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.
Et Saulo dic ad Davide: ecce filia meo magna Merobe: ipso da ad te uxore: tantummodo es viro forti, et praelia bellos de Domino. Saulo autem reputa, dicente: non es manu meo in illo, sed es super illo manus de Philisthinos.
