1 Samuel 18:20-25

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?

24And the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586 toldH5046 him, sayingH559, On this mannerH1697 did DavidH1732 speakH1696.

25And SaulH7586 saidH559, ThusH3541 shall ye sayH559 to DavidH1732: The kingH4428 does not desireH2656 any dowry, but a hundredH3967 foreskinsH6190 of the PhilistinesH6430, to be avengedH5358 of the king's enemiesH341. But SaulH7586 thought to make DavidH1732 fallH5307 by the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
