Verse 28 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.

Und Saul sah und merkte, daß der HERR mit David war. Und Michal, Sauls Tochter, hatte ihn lieb.
Pero Saúl, viendo y considerando que Jehová era con David, y que su hija Michâl lo amaba,
Saúl vio y comprendió que Jehová estaba con David y que su hija Mical lo amaba.
Saül vit et comprit que l'Eternel était avec David; et Mical, sa fille, aimait David.
E Saulle vide e conobbe che il Signore era con Davide; e Mical, figliuola di esso, l’amava.
E viu Saul, e notou que o SENHOR era com Davi; e Mical, filha de Saul, o amava.
