1 Samuel 18:23-25
Living Bible
23 But David replied, “How can a poor man like me from an unknown family find enough dowry to marry the daughter of a king?”
24 When Saul’s men reported this back to him, 25 he told them, “Tell David that the only dowry I need is one hundred dead Philistines![a] Vengeance on my enemies is all I want.” But what Saul had in mind was that David would be killed in the fight.
