1 Samuel 18:27-29
New English Translation

27 when David, along with his men, went out[a] and struck down 200 Philistine men. David brought their foreskins and presented all of them to the king so that he could become the king’s son-in-law. Saul then gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.

28 When Saul realized[b] that the Lord was with David and that his[c] daughter Michal loved David,[d] 29 Saul became even more afraid of him.[e] Saul continued to be at odds with David from then on.[f]
