1 Samuel 18:17-28

17And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Behold, my elder daughterH1323 MerabH4764, her will I giveH5414 thee to wifeH802: onlyH389 beH1961 thou valiant for me, and fightH3898 Jehovah’s battlesH4421. For SaulH7586 saidH559, Let not my handH3027 beH1961 upon him, but let the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 beH1961 upon him. 18And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Who am I, and what is my lifeH2416, or my father’sH1 familyH4940 in IsraelH3478, that I should beH1961 son-in-law to the kingH4428? 19But it came to pass at the timeH6256 when MerabH4764, Saul’s daughterH1323, should have beenH1961 givenH5414 to DavidH1732, that she wasH1961 givenH5414 unto AdrielH5741 the MeholathiteH4259 to wifeH802. 20And MichalH4324, Saul’s daughterH1323, lovedH157 DavidH1732: and they toldH5046 SaulH7586, and the thingH1697 pleased him. 21And SaulH7586 saidH559, I will giveH5414 him her, that she may beH1961 a snareH4170 to him, and that the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 may beH1961 against him. Wherefore SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou shalt this dayH3117 beH1961 my son-in-law a second time.

22And SaulH7586 commandedH6680 his servantsH5650, sayingH559, Commune with DavidH1732 secretly, and sayH559, Behold, the kingH4428 hath delightH2654 in thee, and all his servantsH5650 loveH157 thee: nowH6258 thereforeH6258 be the king’sH4428 son-in-law. 23And Saul’s servantsH5650 spake those wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of DavidH1732. And DavidH1732 saidH559, Seemeth it to you a light thingH1697 to be the king’sH4428 son-in-law, seeing that I am a poorH7326 manH376, and lightly esteemed? 24And the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586 toldH5046 him, sayingH559, On this mannerH1697 spake DavidH1732. 25And SaulH7586 saidH559, ThusH3541 shall ye sayH559 to DavidH1732, The kingH4428 desireth not any dowry, but a hundredH3967 foreskinsH6190 of the PhilistinesH6430, to be avengedH5358 of the king’sH4428 enemiesH341. Now SaulH7586 thought to make DavidH1732 fallH5307 by the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. 26And when his servantsH5650 toldH5046 DavidH1732 these wordsH1697, it pleased DavidH1732 well to be the king’sH4428 son-in-law. And the daysH3117 were not expired; 27and DavidH1732 aroseH6965 and wentH935, he and his menH376, and slew of the PhilistinesH6430 two hundredH3967 menH376; and DavidH1732 broughtH935 their foreskinsH6190, and they gaveH5414 them in fullH4390 number to the kingH4428, that he might be the king’sH4428 son-in-law. And SaulH7586 gaveH5414 him MichalH4324 his daughterH1323 to wifeH802. 28And SaulH7586 sawH7200 and knewH3045 that Jehovah was with DavidH1732; and MichalH4324, Saul’s daughterH1323, lovedH157 him.
