1 Samuel 18:22 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 18:22

And Saul commanded his servants, [saying], commune with David

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:

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