1 Samuel 18:25

David Marries Saul's Daughter Michal

²⁴ So the servants of Saul told him, saying, - According to these words, spake David, ²⁵ Then said Saul - Thus, shall ye say unto David - The king hath no delight in purchase-price, but rather in a hundred foreskins of Philistines, by avenging himself on the enemies of the king. But, Saul, thought to let David fall by the hand of the Philistines. ²⁶ So, when his servants told David these words, the thing was right in the eyes of David, to become son-in-law unto the king, - and the days had not expired.
