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.

¹⁴ So David sent messengers to ^(A)Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, saying, “Give me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself ^(B)for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”

¹³ Therefore Saul removed him from ^[a]his presence, and made him his captain over a thousand; and ^(A)he went out and came in before the people.

¹⁹ Then ^(A)the Spirit of the Lord came upon him mightily, and he went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty of their men, took their apparel, and gave the changes of clothing to those who had explained the riddle. So his anger was aroused, and he went back up to his father’s house.
