(Occurrence 0) Is it a small matter to you to be the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_spoke servants_of Shāʼūl's in/on/at/with,privately_of Dāvid DOM the,words the=these and=he/it_said Dāvid the,seem_~_alittle_thing in/on/at/with,sight_of,your_all's become_~_son-in-law in/on/at/with,king's and,I (a)_man poor and,lightly_esteemed )
David asks this rhetorical question to emphasize that he is not worthy to be the king’s son-in-law. Alternate translation: “It is a great matter to be the king’s son-in-law, and I am too poor and unimportant for that.”
18:23 The future son-in-law would give the bride price as a gift to his bride’s father (see Gen 34:12; Exod 22:16-17).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
