NET Bible
"Now Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David. When they told Saul about this, it pleased him."
— 1 Samuel 18:20, NET Bible
“And Michal Saul’s daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.”
“And Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. ”
“Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.”
“But Michol, the other daughter of Saul, loved David. And it was told Saul, and it pleased him.”
“And Saul's daughter Michal was in love with David: and Saul had word of it and was pleased.”
“And Michal Saul’s daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.”
Then Saul said to David,“Here’s my oldest daughter, Merab. I want to give her to you in marriage. Only be a brave warrior for me and fight the battles of the LORD.”For Saul thought,“There’s no need for me to raise my hand against him. Let it be the hand of the Philistines!”
David said to Saul,“Who am I? Who are my relatives or the clan of my father in Israel that I should become the king’s son-in-law?”
When the time came for Merab, Saul’s daughter, to be given to David, she instead was given in marriage to Adriel, who was from Meholah.
Now Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David. When they told Saul about this, it pleased him.
Saul said,“I will give her to him so that she may become a snare to him and the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David,“Today is the second time for you to become my son-in-law.”
Then Saul instructed his servants,“Tell David secretly,‘The king is pleased with you, and all his servants like you. So now become the king’s son-in-law.”
So Saul’s servants spoke these words privately to David. David replied,“Is becoming the king’s son-in-law something insignificant to you? I’m just a poor and lightly-esteemed man!”
