SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:22
Y mandó Saúl a sus criados: Hablad en secreto a David, diciéndole: He aquí, el rey te ama, y todos sus criados te quieren bien; sé, pues, yerno del rey.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. And Saul commanded his servants, [saying], commune with David secretly , etc.] 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-30 - For a long time David was kept in continual apprehension of falling by the hand of Saul, yet he persevered in meek and respectful behaviou towards his persecutor. How uncommon is such prudence and discretion especially under insults and provocations! Let us inquire if we imitat this part of the exemplary character before us. Are we behaving wisel in all our ways? Is there no sinful omission, no rashness of spirit nothing wrong in our conduct? Opposition and perverseness in others will not excuse wrong tempers in us, but should increase our care, an attention to the duties of our station. Consider Him that endure contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be weary and faint in your minds, Heb 12:3. If David magnified the honour of being son-in-la to king Saul, how should we magnify the honour of being sons to the King of kings __________________________________________________________________
