What Does 1 Samuel 18:20 Mean?
A new turn opens. Saul's younger daughter Michal has come to love David, and word reaches the king. Saul is glad, but as the following verses reveal, his gladness is not for his daughter's joy or David's good.
Love appears here as a gift, yet it will be twisted into a weapon by a scheming heart. Michal's genuine affection becomes, in Saul's hands, another opportunity to ensnare David. The story quietly warns that even the tender things of life can be exploited by those who have given themselves over to jealousy.
