1 Samuel 18:20-25

Saul’s Daughter Given to David

20 And ^aMichal, Saul’s daughter, loved David. So they told Saul, and the thing was right in his eyes. 21 And Saul said, “I will give her to him that she may become a snare to him, and ^athat the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” Therefore Saul said to David, “^bFor a second time you may be my son-in-law today.” 22 Then Saul commanded his servants, “Speak to David secretly, saying, ‘Behold, the king delights in you, and all his servants love you; so now, become the king’s son-in-law.’” 23 So Saul’s servants spoke these words in ¹David’s hearing. But David said, “Is it trivial in your eyes to become the king’s son-in-law, ^asince I am a poor man and lightly esteemed?” 24 And the servants of Saul told to him ¹according to these words which David spoke. 25 Saul then said, “Thus you shall say to David, ‘The king does not desire any ^adowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, ^bto take vengeance on the king’s enemies.’” Now ^cSaul planned to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
