Verse 20 is found in chapter 18 of 1 Samuel. Saul attempts to use marriage to his daughters as a mechanism for putting David in danger, while David responds with humility and prudence. Eventually, Michal loves David and becomes a means of protection. The narrative shows Saul’s hostility extending from the military sphere into family relationships. At the same time, David gains recognition among the Philistines and his reputation grows. The section presents a progressive reversal: the more Saul attempts to control David, the more evident the favor David receives becomes.
