'Pleased' in the Bible

Then Saul sent word to Jesse: “Let David remain in my service, for I am pleased with him.”

David marched out with the army and was successful in everything Saul sent him to do. Saul put him in command of the soldiers, which pleased all the people and Saul’s servants as well.

Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David, and when it was reported to Saul, it pleased him.

Saul then ordered his servants, “Speak to David in private and tell him, ‘Look, the king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you. Therefore, you should become the king’s son-in-law.’”

When the servants reported these terms to David, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. Before the wedding day arrived,

He said, ‘Please let me go because our clan is holding a sacrifice in the town, and my brother has told me to be there. So now, if you are pleased with me, let me go so I can see my brothers.’ That’s why he didn’t come to the king’s table.”
