²⁷ therefore David arose and went, he and ^(A)his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. And ^(B)David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full count to the king, that he might become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as a wife.

³⁹ So when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, ^(A)“Blessed be the Lord, who has ^(B)pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has ^(C)kept His servant from evil! For the Lord has ^(D)returned the wickedness of Nabal on his own head.”

⁴³ David also took Ahinoam ^(A)of Jezreel, ^(B)and so both of them were his wives.
