1 Samuel 18:20-30 - David's Marriage To Michal
20 Saul's daughter Michal fell in love with David. When Saul heard of this he was pleased. 21 He said to himself: I will give Michal to David. I will use her to trap him. The Philistines will kill him. So for the second time Saul said to David: You will be my son-in-law.
22 Saul ordered his officials to speak to David in private. They went to David and said: Look, the king likes you, and all of his officials are loyal to you. Why not ask the king if you may marry his daughter Michal? 23 Saul's servants said these things to David. And David said: I am not rich or famous enough to marry Princess Michal.
24 Saul's servants told him: David asked, do you think it is easy to become the king's son-in-law? I am a poor and unimportant person.
25 When the officers told Saul what David had said,
26 Saul's officials reported to David what Saul had said. David was delighted with the thought of becoming the king's son-in-law. Before the day set for the wedding, 27 David and his men killed two hundred Philistines. He took their foreskins to the king and counted them all out to him. This was so he might become his son-in-law. So Saul had to give his daughter Michal in marriage to David. 28 Saul knew she loved David. He also realized that Jehovah was helping David. 29 Knowing those things made Saul even more afraid of David. He was David's enemy for the rest of his life.
30 The Philistine rulers kept coming to fight Israel. David always won when he fought them. He won more battles against the Philistines than any of Saul's other officers. This made him famous.
