1 Samuel 18:23

So Saul’s servants spoke these words privately ¹  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!”

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."

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 a poor man and lightly esteemed?"

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?"

The king's servants told all this to David, but David held back. "What are you thinking of? I can't do that. I'm a nobody; I have nothing to offer."

And Saul’s servants said these things to David. And David said, Does it seem to you a small thing to be the king’s son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, of no great name?

So Saul’s servants reported these words to David in private. And David said, "Does it seem to you a little thing to become the king’s son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man and of no repute?"

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?"

So Saul’s servants spoke these words privately ¹  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!”
