1 Samuel 18:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁰ Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David. Saul was told, and the thing pleased him.^{(A) 21} Saul thought, “Let me give her to him that she may be a snare for him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” Therefore Saul said to David a second time,^[a] “You shall now be my son-in-law.”^{(B) 22} Saul commanded his servants, “Speak to David in private and say, ‘See, the king is delighted with you, and all his servants love you; now then, become the king’s son-in-law.’ ”
