1 Samuel 18:19 in Context — 1 Samuel 18

17 Saül dit à David: Voici, je te donnerai pour femme ma fille aînée Mérab; sers-moi seulement avec vaillance, et soutiens les guerres de l’Éternel. Or Saül se disait: Je ne veux pas mettre la main sur lui, mais que la main des Philistins soit sur lui.

18 David répondit à Saül: Qui suis-je, et qu’est-ce que ma vie, qu’est-ce que la famille de mon père en Israël, pour que je devienne le gendre du roi?

19 Lorsque arriva le temps où Mérab, fille de Saül, devait être donnée à David, elle fut donnée pour femme à Adriel, de Mehola.

20 Mical, fille de Saül, aima David. On en informa Saül, et la chose lui convint.

21 Il se disait: Je la lui donnerai, afin qu’elle soit un piège pour lui, et qu’il tombe sous la main des Philistins. Et Saül dit à David pour la seconde fois: Tu vas aujourd’hui devenir mon gendre.
