* 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 kings son in law . * And Sauls servants spake those words in the ears of David . And David said , Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a kings 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 kings enemies . But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines . * And when his servants told David these words , it pleased dabar # David well to be the kings 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 kings son in law . And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife . * And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David , and that Michal Sauls daughter loved him . * And Saul was yet the more afraid of David ; and Saul became Davids enemy continually .
