Verse 26 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.

Da sagten seine Knechte David an solche Worte, und deuchte David die Sache gut, daß er des Königs Eidam würde. Und die Zeit war noch nicht aus,
Y como sus criados declararon a David estas palabras, plugo la cosa en los ojos de David, para ser yerno del rey. Y como el plazo no era aún cumplido,
Sus servidores le comunicaron estas palabras a David, y a él le pareció bien llegar a ser yerno del rey. Antes de que se cumpliera el plazo,
Les serviteurs de Saül rapportèrent ces paroles à David, et David agréa ce qui lui était demandé pour qu'il devînt gendre du roi. Avant le terme fixé,
I suoi servitori adunque rapportarono queste parole a Davide; e la cosa piacque a Davide, per esser genero del re. Ora, avanti che i giorni fossero compiuti,
E anunciaram os seus servos estas palavras a Davi, e este negócio pareceu bem aos olhos de Davi, de que fosse genro do rei; porém ainda os dias não se haviam cumprido.
