OET (OET-RV) One day Sha’ul told David, “Look, here’s my oldest daughter Merab—I’ll give her to you for a wife. The only condition is that you become a powerful warrior for me and fight Yahweh’s battles.” (Sha’ul had said to himself, “I don’t need to hurt him physically—I’ll let the Philistines do that for me.”

(Occurrence 0) Let not my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl to/towards Dāvid see/lo/see! daughter,my the,older Mērāⱱ DOM=her/it give to/for=yourself(m) to/for=(a)_woman only be to/for=me as,man valiant and,fight battles YHWH and,Saul he/it_had_said not be hand,my in/on/over=him/it and,be in=him/it hand Pelishtim )
Harming someone is spoken of as if it were placing one’s hand on that person. Here, Saul is referring to killing David. Alternate translation: “I will not be the one to kill him; I will let the Philistines kill him” (See also: figs-euphemism)
18:17 Saul had promised his daughter to anyone who could slay Goliath (17:25; cp. Josh 15:16; Judg 1:12), but he tacked on additional risks for David (see also 1 Sam 18:21, 25).
