1 Samuel 18:18-23

18And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Who am I? and what is my lifeH2416, [or] my father's familyH4940 in IsraelH3478, that I should beH1961 son-in-law to the kingH4428?

19And it came to pass at the timeH6256 when MerabH4764 Saul's daughterH1323 should have beenH1961 givenH5414 to DavidH1732, that she wasH1961 givenH5414 to AdrielH5741 the MeholathiteH4259 as wifeH802.

20And MichalH4324 Saul's daughterH1323 lovedH157 DavidH1732; and they toldH5046 SaulH7586, and the thingH1697 was right in his sight.

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 upon him. And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou shalt this dayH3117 beH1961 my son-in-law a second time.

22And SaulH7586 commandedH6680 his servantsH5650, SpeakH1696 with DavidH1732 secretly, sayingH559, Behold, the kingH4428 has delightH2654 in thee, and all his servantsH5650 loveH157 thee: nowH6258 thereforeH6258 be the king's son-in-law.

23And Saul's servantsH5650 spokeH1696 those wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of DavidH1732. And DavidH1732 saidH559, Is it a light thingH1697 in your eyesH5869 to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poorH7326 manH376, and lightly esteemed?
