1 Samuel 18:20 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 18:20

And Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David
His youngest daughter fell in love with him, because of the comeliness of his person, his gallant behaviour, his wise conduct, and the general esteem and reputation he was had in, as may be supposed:

and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him;
not that his daughter loved David, or that he should be his son-in-law, but that he should have an opportunity, as he hoped, of destroying David, which he had lost by giving his elder daughter to another; as also of retrieving his credit with the people, which was greatly sunk by using David in the manner he did, who had become the darling of the people.

1 Samuel 18:20 In-Context

18 Pero David le respondió:—¿Quién soy yo? ¿Y quiénes son en Israel mis parientes, o la familia de mi padre, para que yo me convierta en yerno del rey?

19 Sin embargo, cuando llegó la fecha en que Saúl había de casar a su hija Merab con David, Saúl se la entregó por esposa a Adriel de Mejolá.

20 Mical, la otra hija de Saúl, se enamoró de David. Cuando se lo dijeron a Saúl, le agradó la noticia

21 y pensó: «Se la entregaré a él, como una trampa para que caiga en manos de los filisteos». Así que volvió a decirle a David:—Ahora sí vas a ser mi yerno.

22 Entonces Saúl ordenó a sus funcionarios:—Hablen con David en privado y díganle: “Oye, el rey te aprecia, y todos sus funcionarios te quieren. Acepta ser su yerno”.
