25. Saul told them, “Say this to David, ‘David, the king doesn’t want you to pay money for his daughter. He wants to get even with his enemy, so the price for marrying his daughter is 100 Philistine foreskins.’” That was Saul’s secret plan. He thought the Philistines would kill David.
26. Saul’s officers told this to David. David was happy that he had a chance to become the king’s son-in-law, so immediately
27. he and his men went out to fight the Philistines. They killed 200 Philistines. David took these Philistine foreskins and gave them to Saul. He did this because he wanted to become the king’s son-in-law. Saul let David marry his daughter Michal.
28. He saw that the Lord was with David and he also saw that his daughter, Michal, loved David.
29. So Saul became even more afraid of David and was against him all that time.
30. The Philistine commanders continued to go out to fight the Israelites, but David defeated them every time. He became famous as Saul’s best officer.
