1 Samuel 18:22-24

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²² Saul then ordered his servants, “Speak to David in private and tell him, ‘Look, the king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you. Therefore, you should become the king’s son-in-law.’”

²³ Saul’s servants reported these words directly to David,^[a] but he replied, “Is it trivial in your sight to become the king’s son-in-law? I am a poor man who is common.”^(A)

²⁴ The servants reported back to Saul, “These are the words David spoke.”
