1 Samuel 18:23
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? (1 Samuel 18:23)
I am a poor man.
Perhaps David here gave expression to his perplexity over Saul’s double dealing. Still, he was not bitter, probably thinking Saul’s decision was due to his own poverty.
