1 Samuel 18:22

22 Entonces Saúl ordenó a sus siervos: Hablad en secreto a David, diciendo: "He aquí, el rey se deleita en ti y todos sus siervos te aman; ahora pues, sé yerno del rey."

1 Samuel 18:22 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 18:22

And Saul commanded his servants, [saying], commune with David
secretly
And persuade him to marry Michal, and assure him of Saul's real regard to him, and good intention towards him; for it seems that David being ill used in the affair of his eldest daughter, did not listen to the proposals of Saul as to the youngest, and therefore Saul took this method to bring him into them:

and say, behold, the king hath a delight in thee;
bore a good will towards him, had an high opinion of him, and it would be a pleasure to him that he should he his son-in-law:

and all his servants love thee;
which might be true in general, excepting some few; which was no small mortification to Saul, though he here pleads it, and puts his servants on making use of it to gain his present purpose:

now therefore be the king's son in law;
accept of the proposal he has made, and marry his youngest daughter.

1 Samuel 18:22 In-Context

20 Y Mical, otra hija de Saúl, amaba a David. Cuando se lo informaron a Saúl, el asunto le agradó.

21 Y Saúl se dijo: Se la daré para que le sirva de lazo y para que la mano de los filisteos sea contra él. Saúl, pues, dijo a David por segunda vez: Serás mi yerno hoy.

22 Entonces Saúl ordenó a sus siervos: Hablad en secreto a David, diciendo: "He aquí, el rey se deleita en ti y todos sus siervos te aman; ahora pues, sé yerno del rey."

23 Y los siervos de Saúl hablaron estas palabras a oídos de David. Pero David dijo: ¿Os parece poca cosa llegar a ser yerno del rey, siendo yo un hombre pobre y de poca estima?

24 Y los siervos de Saúl le informaron conforme a estas palabras que David había hablado.
