1384.

David Marries Saul's Daughter
​​
Today's Passage: 1 Samuel 18:17-30
​​

Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.
​​
Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).

​2.
Invite God to join you in your reading. Ask Him for wisdom.
If there is anything in your spirit hindering you, confess it now.
He knows it. You are forgiven. 
Ask Him to help you embrace that truth to live it out.


a prayer:
Thank You for meeting me, LORD.

I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you, Omnipotent God for insight.

  • Ask God to open your heart.
  • Thank God for writing this story to teach you.
  • Ask him to help you hear what He wants you to learn.
  • Think about the story line (plot).
  • Are there details being explained? Names being used? 
  • Take a moment to think about the activity in the story.
  • Why is God revealing these details? Are they helpful?
  • Thank God for questions to ask yourself.
  • Thank God for answers when they come.

17. One day Saul said to David, "I am ready to give you my older daughter Merab, as your wife. But first you must prove yourself to be a real warrior by fighting the LORD'S battles." For Saul thought, "I'll send him out against the Philistines and let him them kill him rather than doing it myself."

18. "Who am I, and what is my family in Israel that I should be a king' son-in-law?" David exclaimed. "My father's family is nothing!"
19. So when the time came for Saul to give his daughter Merab in marriage to David, he gave her instead to Adriel, a man from Meholah.

20. In the meantime, Saul's daughter Michal had fallen in love with David, and Saul was delighted when he heard about it.
21. "Here's another chance to see him killed by the Philistines!" Saul said to himself. But to David he said, "Today you have a second chance to become my son-in-law!"

22. Then Saul told his men to say to David. "The king really likes you, and so do we. Why don't you accept the king's offer and become his son-in-law?"

23. When Saul's men said these things to David, he replied, "How can a poor man from a humble family afford the bride price for the daughter of a king?"

24. When Saul's men reported this back to the king, 
25. he told them, "Tell David that all I wnat for the bride price is 100 Philistine foreskins! Vengeance on my enemies is all I really want." But what Saul had in mind was that David would be killed in the fight.

26. David was delighted to accept the offer. Before the time limit expired, 
27. he and his men went out and killed 200 Philistines. Then David fulfilled the kinig's requirement by presenting all the foreskins to him. So Saul gave his daughter Michal to David to be his wife.

28. When Saul realized the that LORD was with David and how much his daughter Michal loved him,
29. Saul became even more afraid of him, and he reamained David's enemy for the rest of his life. 

30. Every time the commanders of the Philistines attacked, David was more successful against them than all the rest of Saul's officers. So David's name became very famous.
1 Samuel 18:17-30 NLT
