1 Samuël 18:22

Listen to 1 Samuël 18:22
22 En Saul gebood zijn knechten: Spreekt met David in het heimelijke, zeggende: Zie, de koning heeft lust aan u, en al zijn knechten hebben u lief; word dan nu des konings schoonzoon.

1 Samuël 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 Samuël 18:22 In-Context

20 Doch Michal, de dochter van Saul, had David lief. Toen dat Saul te kennen werd gegeven, zo was die zaak recht in zijn ogen.
21 En Saul zeide: Ik zal haar hem geven, dat zij hem tot een valstrik zij, en dat de hand der Filistijnen tegen hem zij. Daarom zeide Saul tot David: Met de andere zult gij heden mijn schoonzoon worden.
22 En Saul gebood zijn knechten: Spreekt met David in het heimelijke, zeggende: Zie, de koning heeft lust aan u, en al zijn knechten hebben u lief; word dan nu des konings schoonzoon.
23 En de knechten van Saul spraken deze woorden voor de oren van David. Toen zeide David: Is dat licht in ulieder ogen, des konings schoonzoon te worden, daar ik een arm en verachtzaam man ben?
24 En de knechten van Saul boodschapten het hem, zeggende: Zulke woorden heeft David gesproken.
