שמואל א, פרק י״ח, פסוק כ״ד

A royal marriage proposal might typically invite negotiations or requests, but David reacts with striking humility. When the king's servants report back to Saul, they deliver a message completely free of any demands or conditions regarding the wedding. Rather than trying to secure his position, David's response reveals that he genuinely views himself as entirely unworthy of the honor of becoming the king's son-in-law [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
