1 Samuel 18:17–19
David Marries Saul’s Daughter Michal
17 Then Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you as your wife. Only be ⌊a brave warrior⌋t for me and fight the battles of Yahweh.” For Saul thought, “My hand will not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.” 18 But David said to Saul, “Who am I, and who are my relatives, the clan of my father in Israel, that I should be a son-in-law to the king?” 19 ⌊But⌋u at the time Saul’s daughter Merab was to be given to David, she was given instead to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
