Exegesis
The narrative begins with the vav-consecutive verb vayomer {וַיֹּ֨אמֶר | va-yō-mer} ‘and he said’, introducing Saul’s address to David {דָּוִ֗ד | dā-wid} via the particle hinneh {הִנֵּה֩ | hinnēh} ‘behold’.
In context — 1 Samuel 18:17
And Saul said to David, “Behold, my eldest daughter Merab, I will give you as a wife; only be a son of valor for me and fight the battles of the LORD .” And Saul said, “Do not be my hand against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”
