1 Samuel 18:20-28

Leeser(i) 20 And Michal Saul’s daughter loved David: and they told it to Saul, and the thing was right in his eyes. 21 And Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may become unto him a snare, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Through the second shalt thou this day become my son-in-law. 22 And Saul commanded his servants, Speak to David secretly, saying, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee; and now thou must become the king’s son-in-law. 23 And the servants of Saul spoke in the ears of David these words. And David said, Doth it seem so light in your eyes to become the king’s son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and of light esteem? 24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, Words such as these David hath spoken. 25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged on the king’s enemies. But Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines. 26 And when his servants told David these words, the thing was pleasing in the eyes of David to become the king’s son-in-law: and the days were not complete, 27 When David arose and went, he and his men, and smote of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they counted them out in full to the king, that he might become the king’s son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter for wife. 28 And Saul saw and understood that the Lord was with David: and Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him.
