18. David said to Saul, Who am I, and what is my life or my father's family in Israel, that I should be the king's son-in-law?
19. But at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
20. Now Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and it pleased him.
21. Saul thought, I will give her to him that she may be a snare to him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. So Saul said to David a second time, You shall now be my son-in-law.
22. And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately and say, The king delights in you, and all his servants love you; now then, become [his] son-in-law.
