David Marries Michal
17 Then Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab; aI will give her to you as a wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight bthe Lord’s battles.” For Saul thought, c“Let my hand not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”
18 So David said to Saul, a“Who am I, and what is my life or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?”
19 But it happened at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to aAdriel the bMeholathite as a wife.
20 aNow Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
21 So Saul said, “I will give her to him, that she may1 be a snare to him, and that athe hand of the Philistines may be against him.” Therefore Saul said to David a second time, b“You shall be my son-in-law today.”
