1 Samuel 18:25–30

²⁵Saul then said, “Thus you shall say to David, ‘The king does not desire any ^adowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, ^bto take vengeance on the king’s enemies.’” Now ^cSaul planned to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

²⁶Then his servants told David these words, and it was right in the eyes of David to become the king’s son-in-law. ^1aSo before the days had expired,

²⁷David rose up and went, ^ahe and his men, and struck down two hundred men among the Philistines. Then ^bDavid brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might become the king’s son-in-law. So Saul gave him Michal his daughter as a wife.

²⁸Then Saul saw and knew that Yahweh was with David, and that Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him,

²⁹so Saul was even more afraid of David. So Saul was David’s enemy continually.

³⁰Then the commanders of the Philistines ^awent out to battle, and it happened as often as they went out, that David ^bbehaved himself more insightfully than all the servants of Saul. So his name was highly esteemed.
