18. But David said to Saul, "Who am I, and what is my life or my father's family in Israel, that I should be the king's son-in-law?"
19. So it came about at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.
20. Now Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David. When they told Saul, the thing was agreeable to him.
21. Saul thought, "I will give her to him that she may become a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David, "For 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; now therefore, become the king's son-in-law.'"
