16 And Caʹleb proceeded to say: “Whoever strikes Kirʹi·ath-seʹpher and does capture it, I shall certainly give him Achʹsah+ my daughter as a wife.”

49 And the sons of Saul came to be Jonʹa·than+ and Ishʹvi and Malʹchi-shuʹa,+ and, as for the names of his two daughters, the name of the one born first was Meʹrab+ and the name of the younger one Miʹchal.+

17 Finally Saul said to David: “Here is my oldest daughter Meʹrab.+ She is the one that I shall give you as a wife.+ Only prove yourself a valiant person to me and fight the wars* of Jehovah.”+ But as for Saul, he said to himself: “Do not let my hand come to be upon him, but let the hand of the Phi·lisʹtines come to be upon him.”+

21 So Saul said: “I shall give her to him that she may serve as a snare to him,+ and that the hand of the Phi·lisʹtines may come to be upon him.” Accordingly Saul said to David: “By [one of] the two women* you will form a marriage alliance with me today.”
