1 Samuel 18:22-28
22And SaulH7586 commandedH6680 his servantsH5650, saying, SpeakH1696 with DavidH1732 secretlyH3909, and sayH559, Behold, the kingH4428 hath delightH2654 in thee, and all his servantsH5650 loveH157 thee: now therefore be the king’sH4428 son in lawH2859. 23And Saul’sH7586 servantsH5650 spokeH1696 those wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of DavidH1732. And DavidH1732 saidH559, SeemethH5869 it to you a lightH7043 thing to be a king’sH4428 son in lawH2859, seeing that I am a poorH7326 manH376, and lightly esteemedH7034? 24And the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586 toldH5046 him, sayingH559, On this mannerH1697 spokeH1696 DavidH1732.1 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 pleasedH3474H1697H5869 DavidH1732 well to be the king’sH4428 son in lawH2859: and the daysH3117 had not expiredH4390.2 27Therefore 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 numberH4390 to the kingH4428, that he might be the king’sH4428 son in lawH2859. And SaulH7586 gaveH5414 him MichalH4324 his daughterH1323 for a wifeH802. 28And SaulH7586 sawH7200 and knewH3045 that the LORDH3068 was with DavidH1732, and that MichalH4324 Saul’sH7586 daughterH1323 lovedH157 him.
