1 Samuel 18:25-27

WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[25] Saul said, Thus shall you tell David, The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. [26] When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. The days were not expired; [27] and David arose and went, he and his men, and killed of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.
