"And when his servants had repeated to David the words that Saul had spoken, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David, so that he would become son-in-law of the king. "
— 1 Samuel 18:26, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son in law: and the days were not expired.”
“And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. And the days were not expired; ”
“When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. The days were not expired;”
“So his servants told David these things and David agreed to become the king’s son-in-law. Now the specified time had not yet expired”
“And when his servants had told David the words that Saul had said, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David to be the king's son in law.”
“And when his servants said these words to David, he was well pleased to be the son-in-law of the king. And the days were still not past.”
“And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son in law: and the days were not expired.”
And the servants of Saul spoke all these words to the ears of David. And David said: “Does it seem a small matter to you, to be the son-in-law of the king? I am but a poor and unimportant man.”
And the servants reported to Saul, saying, “David has spoken words in this manner.”
Then Saul said, “Speak in this way to David: The king does not have need of any dowry, but only one hundred foreskins from the Philistine men, so that he may be vindicated from the enemies of the king.” So did Saul think to deliver David into the hands of the Philistines.
And when his servants had repeated to David the words that Saul had spoken, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David, so that he would become son-in-law of the king.
And after a few days, David, rising up, went with the men who were under him, and he struck down two hundred men of the Philistines. And he brought their foreskins, and he counted them out for the king, so that he might be his son-in-law. And so, Saul gave to him his daughter Michal as wife.
And Saul saw and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michal, the daughter of Saul, loved him.
And Saul began to fear David all the more. And Saul became the enemy of David, every day.
