Context of 1 Samuel 18:28

26And his servants told David these words; and the thing was right in David's sight to be the king's son-in-law. And the days were not expired, 27when David arose and went, he and his men, and smote of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they delivered them in full to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife. And Saul saw and knew that Jehovah was with David; and Michal Saul's daughter loved him. 29And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy continually. 30And the princes of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass, whenever they went forth, that David succeeded better than all the servants of Saul; and his name was much esteemed.
