1 Samuel 18:20–25

20 aNow Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. 21 So Saul said, “I will give her to him, that she may 6be a snare to him, and that bthe hand of the Philistines may be against him.” Therefore Saul said to David a second time, c“You shall be my son-in-law today.”

22 And Saul commanded his servants, “Communicate with David secretly, and say, ‘Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become the king’s son-in-law.’ ”

23 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?” 24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, 7“In this manner David spoke.”

25 Then Saul said, “Thus you shall say to David: ‘The king does not desire any ddowry but one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to take evengeance on the king’s enemies.’ ” But Saul fthought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
