18 David told 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 And when the time came to give Saul’s daughter Merab to David, she was given as a wife to Adriel of Meholah.
20 Saul’s daughter Michal loved David. Saul was informed of this and he liked the idea. 21 Saul told himself, “I’ll give her to him and she can be a snare to him and the Philistines will harm him.” So Saul told David, “For a second time you can be my son-in-law today.”
22 Saul commanded his officials, “Speak with David privately and say, ‘Look, the king delights in you, and all his officials love you. Now become the king’s son-in-law.’”
23 Saul’s officials delivered this message to David, and he asked, “Is becoming the king’s son-in-law an unimportant thing to you? I’m a poor and unimportant man.”
