1 Samuel 18:25-30
25 Then Saul replied, “Say this to David: ‘The king desires no other bride-price(A) except 100 Philistine foreskins, to take revenge on his enemies.’”(B) Actually, Saul intended to cause David’s death at the hands of the Philistines.(C)
26 When the servants reported these terms to David, he was pleased(a) to become the king’s son-in-law. Before the wedding day arrived,(b)
27 David and his men went out and killed 200(c) Philistines. He brought their foreskins and presented them as full payment to the king to become his son-in-law. Then Saul gave his daughter Michal to David as his wife.(D)
28 Saul realized that the Lord was with David and that his daughter Michal loved him,
29 and he became even more afraid of David. As a result, Saul was David’s enemy from then on.
