1 Samuel 18:25–30

²⁵Then 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. ²⁶So when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to become the king’s son-in-law. Now ^gthe days had not expired; ²⁷therefore David arose and went, he and ^hhis men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. And ⁱDavid brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full count to the king, that he might become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as a wife.

²⁸Thus Saul saw and knew that the Lord was with David, and that Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him; ²⁹and Saul was still more afraid of David. So Saul became David’s enemy ⁸continually. ³⁰Then the princes of the Philistines ^jwent out to war. And so it was, whenever they went out, that David ^kbehaved more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name became highly esteemed.
