'Bride price' in the Bible
And she said, God has given me a good bride-price; now at last will I have my husband living with me, for I have given him six sons: and she gave him the name Zebulun.
{Make the bride price and gift as high as you like}; I will give what you say to me. But give me the girl as a wife."
"When a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged to be married and has sexual relations with her, he must pay her bride price, and she is to become his wife.
If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he is to pay an amount equal to the bride price for virgins.
Then Saul said, "This [is] what you must say to David: '{The king desires no bride price} except for a hundred foreskins of [the] Philistines, to avenge himself on the enemies of the king.'" (Now Saul had planned to allow David to fall by the hand of [the] Philistines.)
