20 Mas Michâl la [otra] hija de Saúl amaba á David; y fué dicho á Saúl, lo cual plugo en sus ojos.

21 Y Saúl dijo: Yo se la daré, para que le sea por lazo, y para que la mano de los Filisteos sea contra él. Dijo pues Saúl á David: Con la otra serás mi yerno hoy.

22 Y mandó Saúl á sus criados: Hablad en secreto á David, diciéndole: He aquí, el rey te ama, y todos sus criados te quieren bien; sé pues yerno del rey.

23 Y los criados de Saúl hablaron estas palabras á los oídos de David. Y David dijo: ¿Paréceos á vosotros que es poco ser yerno del rey, siendo yo un hombre pobre y de ninguna estima?

24 Y los criados de Saúl le dieron la respuesta diciendo: Tales palabras ha dicho David.
