1 Samuel 18:26-28

International Standard Version

²⁶ When his officials^[a] delivered this message to David, David decided it would be a good thing to become the king’s son-in-law. Before the time was up, ²⁷ David got up, went out with his men, and struck down 200 Philistine men. David brought their foreskins and gave them all to the king so he could become the king’s son-in-law. So Saul gave him his daughter Michal as a wife. ²⁸ As Saul continued to observe, he realized that the Lord was with David and that Saul’s daughter Michal loved him.
