1 SAMUEL 18:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the twain.”
And it was told to Saul, and the thing pleased him — Saul's *va'yishmac* (it pleased him) reveals his calculation: if Michal loves David, he can use that love as bait, a trap disguised as honor. The *va'yomer*, he said, introduces his scheme, the proposal that Michal be given to David as a snare, a *mocesh*, a trap that will allow him to strike at the Philistines through David's death.
