25SaulH7586 repliedH559, “SayH559 to DavidH1732, ‘The kingH4428 desiresH2656 noH369 other dowryH4119 butH3588 a hundredH3967 PhilistineH6430 foreskinsH6190 as revengeH5358 on hisH4428 enemiesH341.’” But SaulH7586 intendedH2803 to cause David’sH1732 deathH5307 at the handsH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.

26When the servantsH5650 reportedH5046 theseH428 termsH1697 to DavidH1732, he was pleasedH3474H1697H5869 to become the king’sH4428 son-in-lawH2859.

HeH1732 broughtH935 their foreskinsH6190 and presented them as payment in fullH4390 to becomeH4428 the king’sH4428 son-in-lawH2859.
