1 Samuel 18:20

_ _ Michal Saul’s daughter loved David — This must have happened some time after.

_ _ they told Saul, and the thing pleased him — Not from any favor to David, but he saw that it would be turned to the advancement of his malicious purposes, and the more so when, by the artful intrigues and flattery of his spies, the loyal sentiments of David were discovered.
