Contextual Overview

¹² The Lord was with David but had left Saul. So Saul was afraid of David. ¹³ He sent David away and made him commander of a thousand soldiers. So David led them in battle. ¹⁴ He had great success in everything he did because the Lord was with him. ¹⁵ When Saul saw that David was very successful, he feared David even more. ¹⁶ But all the people of Israel and Judah loved David because he led them well in battle. ¹⁷ Saul said to David, "Here is my older daughter Merab. I will let you marry her. All I ask is that you remain brave and fight the Lord 's battles." Saul thought, "I won't have to kill David. The Philistines will do that." ¹⁸ But David answered Saul, saying, "Who am I? My family is not important enough for me to become the king's son-in-law." ¹⁹ So, when the time came for Saul's daughter Merab to marry David, Saul gave her instead to Adriel of Meholah. ²⁰ Now Saul's other daughter, Michal, loved David. When they told Saul, he was pleased. ²¹ He thought, "I will let her marry David. Then she will be a trap for him, and the Philistines will defeat him." So Saul said to David a second time, "You may become my son-in-law."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him,.... The cause and occasion of his fall and ruin, by means of what he should propose to him as the condition of marriage; but instead of proving a snare to him, as he hoped, she was the means of his deliverance, when Saul sent messengers to slay him, 1 Samuel 19:11,

and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him; provoked by what he should put him upon doing to them. The scheme he had in his head after appears, and what he now said was not openly said before his servants and courtiers, whom he did not trust with his secrets, but this he said within himself, conceived and contrived it in his own mind:

wherefore Saul said to David; who was as yet at court, or whom he sent for on this occasion:

thou shalt this day be my son in law in [the one of] the twain; by marrying one of his two daughters; signifying, that he would not defer the marriage, or put it off to a longer time, as he had done before, but that he should be married immediately to one or other of his daughters; and seeing he could not have the eldest, she being disposed of, he should have the youngest, and so be equally his son-in-law. If we read the words without the supplement, "shalt be my son-in-law in the two", or in both, the sense is, that he should have them both; and so the Jews say w, that he married them both, first Merab, and after her death Michal; or that he should be his son-in-law on two accounts, one by betrothing Merab, though he was not married to her, and the other by being married to Michal, so that he would be doubly his son in law; but the sense, according to the supplement, is best.

w T. Bab. Sanhedrin, fol. 19. 2.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In the one of the twain - Some prefer “the second time” Job 33:14. The first contract had been broken by giving Merab to Adriel.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 18:21. That she may be a snare to him — Saul had already determined the condition on which he would give his daughter to David; viz., that he should slay one hundred Philistines: this he supposed he would undertake for the love of Michal, and that he must necessarily perish in the attempt; and thus Michal would become a snare to him.
