1 Samuel 18:17-21
17And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, BeholdH2009, my elderH1419 daughterH1323 MerabH4764, herH413 will I giveH5414 thee to wifeH802: onlyH389 be thou valiantH2428 for meH413. and fightH3898 the LORD’SH3068 battlesH4421. For SaulH7586 saidH559, LetH5414 notH408 mine handH3027 be uponH1961 him, but letH5414 the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 be uponH1961 him.
18And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Who am I, and whatH4310 is my lifeH2416, or my father’sH1 familyH4940 in IsraelH3478, that I should be son in law to the kingH4428?
19But it cameH1961 to passH1961 at the time when MerabH4764 Saul’sH7586 daughterH1323 should have been givenH5414 to DavidH1732, that sheH1931 was givenH5414 unto AdrielH5741 the MeholathiteH4259 to wifeH802.
20And MichalH4324 Saul’sH7586 daughterH1323 lovedH157 DavidH1732: and they toldH5046 SaulH7586, and the thingH1697 pleasedH5869 him.
21And SaulH7586 saidH559, I will giveH5414 him herH413, that she may be a snareH4170 to him, and that the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 may be againstH413 him. Wherefore SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou shalt this dayH3117 be my son in law a secondH8147 time.
