And Saul saw and knew that the LORD {was} with David, and {that} Michal Saul's daughter loved him.

And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.

But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which {was} of Gallim. {Phalti: also called, Phaltiel}

And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face. {that is: Heb. saying}

And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel. {pleased...: Heb. was right in the eyes of, etc}

And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
