Contextual Overview
12 And Saul feared David, because Jehovah was with him, and had departed from Saul. 13 And Saul separated him from himself and set him as his commander over a thousand. And he went out and came in before the people. 14 And David acted wisely in all his ways, and Jehovah was with him. 15 And Saul saw that he was acting wisely, and was afraid of him. 16 And all Israel and Judah loved David, for he went out and came in before them. 17 And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab! I will give her to you for a wife; only, you be a brave son for me and fight the battles of Jehovah. And Saul said, Let not my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be onhim. 18 And David said to Saul, Who am I, and what is my life, and the family of my father in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king? 19 And it happened at the time Saul was to give his daughter Merab to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife. 20 And Saul's daughter Michal loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing was right in his eyes. 21 And Saul said, I will give her to him, and she shall be a snare to him. And the hand of the Philistines shall be on him. And Saul said to David a second time, You shall be my son-in-law today.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the servants of Saul told him, saying, on this manner spake David. Such and such words were spoken by him, to this purpose; the sum and substance of them were expressive of his unworthiness to be a king's son-in-law, and of his inability to bring a dowry suitable to her quality.
