Read 1 Samuel 18 in full →17Then Saul said to David, “aHere is my older daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife; only be a man of valor for me and fight bYahweh’s battles.” For Saul thought, “My hand shall not be against him, but clet the hand of the Philistines be against him.” 18But David said to Saul, “aWho am I, and what is my life or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be the king’s son-in-law?” 19So it happened at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to aAdriel bthe Meholathite as a wife.
