1 Samuel 18:25-27

Expanded Bible

²⁵ Saul said, “Tell David, ‘The king doesn’t want ·money [^La dowry/bride price] for the bride. All he wants is a hundred Philistine foreskins to get ·even with [revenge on] his enemies.’” Saul planned to let ·the Philistines kill David [^LDavid fall at the hands of the Philistines].

²⁶ When Saul’s servants told this to David, ·he was pleased [he was happy/delighted; ^Lthe thing was right in the eyes of David] to become the king’s son-in-law. [^LSo before the days were expired/fulfilled…] ²⁷ He and his men went out and killed two hundred Philistines. David brought all their foreskins [^Land counted them out] to ·Saul [the king] so he could be the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal for his wife.
