1 Samuel 18:25-27
25SaulH7586 then saidH559, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 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.’” But 3SaulH7586 plottedH2803 to have 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. So 56before the timeH3117 had expiredH4390,
27DavidH1732 setH6965 outH6965 and wentH1980, 7he and his menH376, and fatallyH5221 struckH5221 two hundredH3967 menH376 among the PhilistinesH6430. Then 8DavidH1732 broughtH935 their foreskinsH6190, and they presentedH4390 allH4390 two hundred of them to the kingH4428, so that he might becomeH2859 the king’sH4428 son-in-lawH2859. And SaulH7586 gaveH5414 him his daughterH1323 MichalH4324 as a wifeH802.
