1 Samuel 18:21-23

Living Bible

²¹ “Here’s another opportunity to see him killed by the Philistines!” Saul said to himself. But to David he said, “You can be my son-in-law after all, for I will give you my youngest daughter.”

²² Then Saul instructed his men to say confidentially to David that the king really liked him a lot, and that they all loved him and thought he should accept the king’s proposition and become his son-in-law.

²³ But David replied, “How can a poor man like me from an unknown family find enough dowry to marry the daughter of a king?”
