2 Samuel 3:12-14
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
12 Abner sent messengers to David at Hebron,[a] saying, ‘To whom does the land belong? Make your covenant with me, and I will give you my support to bring all Israel over to you.’ 13 He said, ‘Good; I will make a covenant with you. But one thing I require of you: you shall never appear in my presence unless you bring Saul’s daughter Michal when you come to see me.’ 14 Then David sent messengers to Saul’s son Ishbaal,[b] saying, ‘Give me my wife Michal, to whom I became engaged at the price of one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.’
