That’s what it was like for the 20 years I was living with you. I worked for 14 years to marry your two daughters. I worked for six years to get my share of your flocks. You changed my pay ten times.

Jacob was in love with Rachel. He said to Laban,“ I’ll work for you for seven years so I can marry your younger daughter Rachel.”

So Jacob worked for seven years so he could marry Rachel. But they seemed like only a few days to him because he loved her so much.

The Lord saw that Jacob didn’t love Leah as much as he loved Rachel. So he let Leah have children. But Rachel wasn’t able to have children.

Saul said to David,“ Here is my older daughter Merab. I’ll give her to you to be your wife. Just serve me bravely and fight the Lord’ s battles.” Saul said to himself,“ I won’t have to lift my hand to strike him down. The Philistines will do that!”But David said to Saul,“ Who am I? Is anyone in my whole family that important in Israel? Am I worthy to become the king’s son- in- law?”The time came for Saul to give his daughter Merab to David. Instead, Saul gave her to Adriel from Meholah to be his wife.Saul’s daughter Michal was in love with David. When they told Saul about it, he was pleased.“ I’ll give her to David to be his wife,” Saul said to himself.“ Then maybe she’ll trap him. And maybe the Philistines will strike him down.” So Saul said to David,“ Now you have a second chance to become my son- in- law.”Then Saul gave an order to his attendants. He said,“ Speak to David in private. Tell him,‘ The king likes you. All his attendants love you. So become his son- in- law.’ ”Saul’s attendants spoke those very words to David. But David said,“ Do you think it’s a small thing to become the king’s son- in- law? I’m only a poor man. I’m not very well known.”Saul’s attendants told him what David had said.Saul said,“ Tell David,‘ Here’s the price the king wants for the bride. He wants you to kill 100 Philistines. Then bring back the skins you cut off when you circumcise them. That’s how Saul will get even with his enemies.’ ” Saul hoped that the Philistines would strike David down.Saul’s attendants also told David those things. Then David was pleased to become the king’s son- in- law. So before the wedding day,David and his men went out and killed 200 Philistines. They circumcised the Philistines. Then David brought back all the skins. They counted out the full number and gave them to the king. By doing that, David could become the king’s son- in- law. So Saul gave David his daughter Michal to be his wife.

Doesn’t our father think of us as outsiders? First he sold us. Now he has used up what he was paid for us.

Suppose a man has two wives. He loves one but not the other. And both of them have sons by him. But the oldest son is the son of the wife the man doesn’t love.

“ Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. Anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

“ Anyone who comes to me must hate their father and mother. They must hate their wife and children. They must hate their brothers and sisters. And they must hate even their own life. Unless they do this, they can’t be my disciple.

“ No one can serve two masters at the same time. You will hate one of them and love the other. Or you will be faithful to one and dislike the other. You can’t serve God and money at the same time.

“ Your servant my father said to us,‘ You know that my wife had two sons by me.

Jacob ran away to the country of Aram. There Israel served Laban to get a wife. He took care of sheep to pay for her.

After Rachel had Joseph, Jacob spoke to Laban. He said,“ Send me on my way. I want to go back to my own home and country.Give me my wives and children. I worked for you to get them. So I’ll be on my way. You know how much work I’ve done for you.”

We answered,‘ We have an old father. A young son was born to him when he was old. His brother is dead. He’s the only one of his mother’s sons left. And his father loves him.’
