1 Samuel 18:25-27
25SaulH7586 then saidH559, “ThusH3541 you shall sayH559 to DavidH1732, ‘The kingH4428 does not desireH2656 any 1dowryH4119 exceptH3588 a hundredH3967 foreskinsH6190 of the PhilistinesH6430, 2to takeH5358 vengeanceH5358 on the king’sH4428 enemiesH340.’” Now 3SaulH7586 plannedH2803 to make DavidH1732 fallH5307 by the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
26When his servantsH5650 toldH5046 DavidH1732 theseH428 wordsH1697, 4it pleasedH3474H5869 DavidH1732 to becomeH2859 the king’sH4428 son-in-lawH2859. 56Before the daysH3117 had expiredH4390
27DavidH1732 roseH6965 up and wentH1980, 7he and his menH376, and struckH5221 downH5221 two hundredH3967 menH376 among the PhilistinesH6430. Then 8DavidH1732 broughtH935 their foreskinsH6190, and they gaveH4390 them in fullH4390 number to the kingH4428, that he might becomeH2859 the king’sH4428 son-in-lawH2859. So SaulH7586 gaveH5414 him MichalH4324 his daughterH1323 for a wifeH802.
