Holman Christian Standard Bible
Saul told David, “Here is my oldest daughter Merab. I’ll give her to you as a wife,  if you will be a warrior for me and fight the LORD’s battles.”  But Saul was thinking, “My hand doesn’t need to be against him; let the hand of the Philistines be against him.” 

New American Standard Bible
Then Saul said to David, "Here is my older daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife, only be a valiant man for me and fight the LORD'S battles." For Saul thought, "My hand shall not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him."

King James Bible
And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD'S battles. For Saul said, Let not mine hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him. International Standard Version
Saul told David, "Here is my older daughter Merab. I'll give her to you as a wife. Just be an excellent soldier for me and fight the LORD's battles." Now Saul told himself, "I won't harm him myself. Instead, I'll let the Philistines harm him."

American Standard Version
And Saul said to David, Behold, my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight Jehovah's battles. For Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.

Young's Literal Translation
And Saul saith unto David, 'Lo, my elder daughter Merab -- her I give to thee for a wife; only, be to me for a son of valour, and fight the battles of Jehovah;' and Saul said, 'Let not my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.'1 Samuel 18:17 • 1 Samuel 18:17 NIV • 1 Samuel 18:17 NLT • 1 Samuel 18:17 ESV • 1 Samuel 18:17 NASB • 1 Samuel 18:17 KJV • 1 Samuel 18:17 Commentaries • 1 Samuel 18:17 Bible Apps • 1 Samuel 18:17 Biblia Paralela • 1 Samuel 18:17 Chinese Bible • 1 Samuel 18:17 French Bible • 1 Samuel 18:17 German Bible
