When Saul’s men said these things to David, he replied,“ How can a poor man from a humble family afford the bride price for the daughter of a king?”

扫罗的臣仆就照这话说给大卫听。大卫说：“你们以为作王的女婿是一件小事吗？我是贫穷卑微的人。”

扫罗的臣仆照这话说给大卫听。大卫说：“你们把作王的女婿看为小事吗？我是贫穷卑微的人。”

扫罗的臣仆照这话说给大卫听。大卫说：“你们把作王的女婿看为小事吗？我是贫穷卑微的人。”

扫罗的臣仆把这话告诉了大卫，大卫却说：“做王的女婿岂是一件小事呢？我不过是个贫穷卑微的人。”

于是扫罗的臣仆把这些话说给大卫听。大卫说：“你们以为作王的女婿是一件小事吗？我是个贫穷卑微的人。”

扫罗的臣仆们就把这些话说给大卫听。大卫说：“难道作王的女婿在你们眼中算为小事吗？我不过是个贫穷、卑微的人。”

掃羅的臣僕就照這話說給大衛聽。大衛說：「你們以為作王的女婿是一件小事嗎？我是貧窮卑微的人。」

掃羅的臣僕照這話說給大衛聽。大衛說：「你們把作王的女婿看為小事嗎？我是貧窮卑微的人。」

掃羅的臣僕照這話說給大衛聽。大衛說：「你們把作王的女婿看為小事嗎？我是貧窮卑微的人。」

掃羅的臣僕把這話告訴了大衛，大衛卻說：「做王的女婿豈是一件小事呢？我不過是個貧窮卑微的人。」

於是掃羅的臣僕把這些話說給大衛聽。大衛說：“你們以為作王的女婿是一件小事嗎？我是個貧窮卑微的人。”

掃羅的臣僕就將這話說給大衛聽。大衛說：『你們以為做王的女婿是件輕微的事麼？我，我是個窮乏輕微的人哪。』

掃羅的臣僕們就把這些話說給大衛聽。大衛說：「難道作王的女婿在你們眼中算為小事嗎？我不過是個貧窮、卑微的人。」

臣僕以此言告大衛、大衛曰、我素貧賤、為王之壻、爾以為細事乎、

僕如是以告。大闢曰、我素貧乏、為人藐視、為王之壻、豈易易哉、

掃羅臣僕以此言告大衛、大衛曰、我素貧且賤、爾意為王之壻乃細事乎、

They repeated these words to David. But David said,“ Do you think it is a small matter to become the king’s son-in-law? I’m only a poor man and little known.”

Saul’s attendants spoke those very words to David. But David said,“ Do you think it’s a small thing to become the king’s son- in- law? I’m only a poor man. I’m not very well known.”

And Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said,“ Does it seem to you a little thing to become the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor man and have no reputation?”

Saul’s servants reported these words directly to David, but he replied,“ Is it trivial in your sight to become the king’s son-in-law? I am a poor commoner.”

So Saul’s servants spoke these words to David. But David said,“ Is it trivial in your sight to become the king’s son in law, since I am only a poor man and insignificant?”

So Saul’s servants spoke those words in the hearing of David. And David said,“ Does it seem to you a light thing to be a king’s son-in-law, seeing I am a poor and lightly esteemed man?”

And Saul’s servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be the king’s son- in- law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?

Saul’s servants reported these words directly to David, but he replied,“ Is it trivial in your sight to become the king’s son-in-law? I am a poor man who is common.”

And Saul’s servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you[ a] light[ thing] to be a king’s son in law, seeing that I[ am] a poor man, and lightly esteemed?

So Saul’s servants spoke these words privately to David. David replied,“ Is becoming the king’s son-in-law something insignificant to you? I’m just a poor and lightly-esteemed man!”

Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said,“ Does it seem to you a light thing to be the king’s son- in- law, since I am a poor man, and little known?”

I am insignificant and despised, but I don’t forget your commandments.

The poor are despised even by their neighbors, while the rich have many“ friends.”

See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him.

A poor, wise man knew how to save the town, and so it was rescued. But afterward no one thought to thank him.So even though wisdom is better than strength, those who are wise will be despised if they are poor. What they say will not be appreciated for long.

Many seek favors from a ruler; everyone is the friend of a person who gives gifts!The relatives of the poor despise them; how much more will their friends avoid them! Though the poor plead with them, their friends are gone.

Saul replied,“ But I’m only from the tribe of Benjamin, the smallest tribe in Israel, and my family is the least important of all the families of that tribe! Why are you talking like this to me?”
