26. When the servants reported these terms to David, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. Before the wedding day arrived,
27. David and his men went out and killed 200 Philistines. He brought their foreskins and presented them as full payment to the king to become his son-in-law. Then Saul gave his daughter Michal to David as his wife.
28. Saul realized that the Lord was with David and that his daughter Michal loved him,
29. and he became even more afraid of David. As a result, Saul was David’s enemy from then on.
30. Every time the Philistine commanders came out to fight, David was more successful than all of Saul’s officers. So his name became well known.
