Is it a small matter to you to be the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?

David asks this rhetorical question to emphasize that he is not worthy to be the king's son-in-law. AT: "It is a great matter to be the king's son-in-law, and I am too poor and unimportant for that." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
