23. Saul’s servants said these words to David. But David answered, “Do you think it is easy to become the king’s son-in-law? I’m only a poor man. Nobody knows me.”
24. Then Saul’s servants told him what David had said.
25. Saul said, “Say to David, ‘The king doesn’t want you to pay a large price for the bride. All he wants is 100 Philistine foreskins. Then he will be even with his enemies.’” Saul planned to let the Philistines kill David.
26. Saul’s servants told David these words. David was pleased that he could become the king’s son-in-law.
27. So he and his men went out and killed 200 Philistines. David took all their foreskins and brought them to Saul. He wanted to become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal for his wife.
28. Saul saw that the Lord was with David. He also saw that his daughter Michal loved David.
29. So he became even more afraid of David. And he was David’s enemy all his life.
30. The Philistine commanders continued to go out to fight the Israelites. But every time, David defeated them. He had more success than Saul’s officers. And he became famous.
