David Marries Saul’s Daughter

²⁰ Now ^(A)Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David. When they informed Saul, the thing was pleasing ^[a]to him. ²¹ For Saul thought, “I will give her to him so that she may become a trap for him, and ^(B)that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” Therefore Saul said to David, “^(C)For a second time you may become my son-in-law, today.”

¹⁶ When David had finished speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, “^(A)Is this your voice, my son David?” Then Saul raised his voice and wept.

¹⁷ Then Saul recognized David’s voice and said, “^(A)Is this your voice, my son David?” And David said, “It is my voice, my lord the king.”
