Sauli akamwambia Daudi, “Huyu hapa binti yangu mkubwa Merabu. Nitakupa umwoe, endapo tu utanitumikia kwa ushujaa na kupigana vita vya Bwana.” Kwa maana Sauli alisema moyoni mwake, “Sitainua mkono wangu dhidi yake. Acha mkono wa Wafilisti uwe juu yake.”

1 Samuel 18:17 · Berean Standard Bible
Then Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage. Only be valiant for me and fight the LORD’s battles.” But Saul was thinking, “I need not raise my hand against him; let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”
Context
15Sauli alipoona jinsi alivyokuwa akifanikiwa, akamwogopa. 16Lakini Israeli wote na Yuda walimpenda Daudi, kwa sababu ndiye alikuwa akiwaongoza katika vita vyao. 17Sauli akamwambia Daudi, “Huyu hapa binti yangu mkubwa Merabu. Nitakupa umwoe, endapo tu utanitumikia kwa ushujaa na kupigana vita vya Bwana.” Kwa maana Sauli alisema moyoni mwake, “Sitainua mkono wangu dhidi yake. Acha mkono wa Wafilisti uwe juu yake.” 18Lakini Daudi akamwambia Sauli, “Mimi ni nani, nayo jamaa yangu ni nini au ukoo wa baba yangu katika Israeli, kwamba mimi niwe mkwewe mfalme?” 19Basi ulipofika wakati wa Daudi kupewa Merabu, binti Sauli, huyo binti aliozwa kwa Adrieli, Mmeholathi.
