1 Samuel 18:24-26

Lexham English Bible

²⁴ So the servants of Saul informed him, saying, “This is what David said.”^{[a] 25} Then Saul said, “This is what you must say to David: ‘The king desires no bride price^[b] 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.) ²⁶ So his servants told David these words, and the matter pleased David^[c] to become the son-in-law of the king as the specified time had not expired.^[d]
