1 Samuel 18:11-21

11 and he threw the spear, thinking, "I will pin David to the wall!" But David dodged out of the way twice.
12 Sha'ul became afraid of David, because ADONAI was with him and had left Sha'ul.
13 Therefore Sha'ul put him at a distance from himself by making him commander over a thousand; his goings and comings became public knowledge.
14 David had great success in all his ways; ADONAI was with him.
15 When Sha'ul saw how very successful he was, he became afraid of him.
16 But all Isra'el and Y'hudah loved David, because they knew about all his campaigns.
17 Sha'ul said to David, "Here is my older daughter Merav. I will give her to you as your wife; only continue displaying your courage for me, and fight ADONAI's battles." Sha'ul was thinking, "I don't dare touch him, so let the P'lishtim do away with him."
18 David's response to Sha'ul was, "Who am I, that I should become the king's son-in-law? I don't have any kind of a life, and my father's family has no rank in Isra'el."
19 However, when it was time for Merav Sha'ul's daughter to be given to David, she was given to Adri'el the Mecholati as his wife.
20 But Mikhal Sha'ul's daughter fell in love with David. They told Sha'ul, and it pleased him.
21 Sha'ul said, "I'll give her to him, so that she can entrap him, and the P'lishtim can do away with him." So Sha'ul said to David, "Today you will become my son-in-law through the second [daughter]."
