1 Samuel 18:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: Behold thou pleasest the king, and all his servants love thee. Now therefore be the king's son in law.

²³ And the servants of Saul spoke all these words in the ears of David. And David said: Doth it seem to you a small matter to be the king's son in law? But I am a poor man, and of small ability.

²⁴ And the servants of Saul told him, saying: Such words as these hath David spoken.
