1 Samuel 18:18-23

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.

22And SaulH7586 commandedH6680 his servantsH5650, sayingH559, Commune with DavidH1732 secretlyH3909, and sayH559, BeholdH2009, the kingH4428 hath delightH2654 in thee, and allH3605 his servantsH5650 loveH157 thee: nowH6258 therefore be the king’sH4428 son in law.

23And Saul’sH7586 servantsH5650 spake thoseH428 wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of DavidH1732. And DavidH1732 saidH559, Seemeth it to youH853 a lightH7043 thingH1697 to be the king’sH4428 son in law, seeing that I am a poorH7326 manH376, and lightlyH7043 esteemedH7043?
