1 Samuel 18:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ The time came for Saul to give his daughter Merab to David. Instead, Saul gave her to Adriel from Meholah to be his wife.

²⁰ Saul’s daughter Michal was in love with David. When they told Saul about it, he was pleased. ²¹ “I’ll give her to David to be his wife,” Saul said to himself. “Then maybe she’ll trap him. And maybe the Philistines will strike him down.” So Saul said to David, “Now you have a second chance to become my son-in-law.”
