1 Samuel 18:19-21
International Children’s Bible
19 So when the time came for Saul’s daughter Merab to marry David, Saul gave her instead to Adriel of Meholah.
20 Now Saul’s other daughter Michal loved David. When they told Saul about Michal loving David, he was pleased. 21 He thought, “I will let Michal marry David. Then she will become a trap for him. And the Philistines will defeat him.” So Saul said to David a second time, “You may become my son-in-law.”
