18 David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?”
19 But at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.

New American Standard Bible
17 Then Saul said to David, “(A)Here is my older daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife, only be a valiant man for me and fight (B)the Lord’s battles.” For Saul thought, “My hand shall not be against him, but (C)let the hand of the Philistines be against him.” 18 But David said to Saul, “(D)Who am I, and who is my family, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be the king’s son-in-law?” 19 So it came about at the time that Merab, Saul’s daughter, was to be given to David, that she was given instead to (E)Adriel (F)the Meholathite as a wife.
