14 Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, (F)“I was[a] no prophet, nor a prophet's son, but (G)I was a herdsman and a dresser of sycamore figs. 15 (H)But the Lord took me from following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’

And I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the earth. 10 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel (C)and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place (D)and be disturbed no more. (E)And violent men shall afflict them no more, as formerly, 11 (F)from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And (G)I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, the Lord declares to you that (H)the Lord will make you a house. 12 (I)When your days are fulfilled and (J)you lie down with your fathers, (K)I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 (L)He shall build a house for my name, and (M)I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 (N)I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, (O)I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, 15 (P)but my steadfast love will not depart from him, (Q)as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you. 16 (R)And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me.[b] (S)Your throne shall be established forever.’” 17 In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.

18 And David said to Saul, (A)“Who am I, and who are my relatives, my father's clan 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 (B)Adriel the (C)Meholathite for a wife.
20 Now (D)Saul's daughter Michal (E)loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. 21 Saul thought, “Let me give her to him, that she may (F)be a snare for him (G)and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” Therefore Saul said to David a second time,[a] (H)“You shall now be my son-in-law.” 22 And Saul commanded his servants, “Speak to David in private and say, ‘Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now then become the king's son-in-law.’” 23 And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, (I)“Does it seem to you a little thing to become the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man and have no reputation?”

18 But David said to Saul, “Who am I,(A) and what is my family or my clan in Israel, that I should become the king’s son-in-law?(B)” 19 So[a] when the time came for Merab,(C) Saul’s daughter, to be given to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.(D)
20 Now Saul’s daughter Michal(E) was in love with David, and when they told Saul about it, he was pleased.(F) 21 “I will give her to him,” he thought, “so that she may be a snare(G) to him and so that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “Now you have a second opportunity to become my son-in-law.”
22 Then Saul ordered his attendants: “Speak to David privately and say, ‘Look, the king likes you, and his attendants all love you; now become his son-in-law.’”
23 They repeated these words to David. But David said, “Do you think it is a small matter to become the king’s son-in-law?(H) I’m only a poor man and little known.”

20 (A)As for your donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not set your mind on them, for they have been found. And for whom is all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for you and for all your father's house?” 21 Saul answered, “Am I not a Benjaminite, (B)from the least of the tribes of Israel? (C)And is not my clan the humblest of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then have you spoken to me in this way?”
22 Then Samuel took Saul and his young man and brought them into the hall and gave them a place at the head of those who had been invited, who were about thirty persons.
