25And SaulH7586 saidH559, Thus shall ye sayH559 to DavidH1732, The kingH4428 desirethH2656 not any dowryH4119, but an hundredH3967 foreskinsH6190 of the PhilistinesH6430, to be avengedH5358 of the king’sH4428 enemiesH341. But SaulH7586 thoughtH2803 to make DavidH1732 fallH5307 by the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
26And when his servantsH5650 toldH5046 DavidH1732 these wordsH1697, it pleasedH5869H1697H3474 DavidH1732 well to be the king’sH4428 son in lawH2859: and the daysH3117 were not expiredH4390.1
27Wherefore DavidH1732 aroseH6965 and wentH3212, he and his menH582, and slewH5221 of the PhilistinesH6430 two hundredH3967 menH376; and DavidH1732 broughtH935 their foreskinsH6190, and they gave them in full taleH4390 to the kingH4428, that he might be the king’sH4428 son in lawH2859. And SaulH7586 gaveH5414 him MichalH4324 his daughterH1323 to wifeH802.
