* And Saul said to David , Behold my elder daughter Merab , her will I give thee to wife : only be thou valiant for me , and fight the LORD 'S battles . For Saul said , Let not mine hand be upon him , but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him . * And David said unto Saul , Who am I ? and what is my life , or my father 's family in Israel , that I should be son in law to the king ? * But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul 's daughter should have been given to David , that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife . * And Michal Saul 's daughter loved David : and they told Saul , and the thing pleased him . * And Saul said , I will give him her , that she may be a snare to him , and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him . Wherefore Saul said to David , Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the twain . * And Saul commanded his servants , saying , Commune with David secretly , and say , Behold , the king hath delight in thee , and all his servants love thee : now therefore be the king 's son in law . * And Saul 's servants spake those words in the ears of David . And David said , Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a king 's son in law , seeing that I am a poor man , and lightly esteemed ? * And the servants of Saul told him , saying , On this manner spake David . * And Saul said , Thus shall ye say to David , The king desireth not any dowry , but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines , to be avenged of the king 's enemies . But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines . * And when his servants told David these words , it pleased David well to be the king 's son in law : and the days were not expired . * Wherefore David arose and went , he and his men , and slew of the Philistines two hundred men ; and David brought their foreskins , and they gave them in full tale to the king , that he might be the king 's son in law . And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife .
