²⁵ Saul replied, “Here is what you should say to David: ‘There is nothing that the king wants as a price for the bride except 100 Philistine foreskins, so that he can be avenged of his^[a] enemies.’” (Now Saul was thinking that he could kill David by the hand of the Philistines.)

²⁶ So his servants told David these things and David agreed^[b] to become the king’s son-in-law. Now the specified time had not yet expired^{[c] 27} when David, along with his men, went out^[d] 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.
