1 Samuel 18:26-28

Contemporary English Version

²⁶ The officials told David, and David wanted to marry the princess.

King Saul had set a time limit, and before it ran out, ²⁷ David and his men left and killed 200 Philistines. David brought back the proof that Saul had demanded and showed it to him, so he could marry Michal. Saul agreed to let David marry Michal. ²⁸ King Saul knew that she loved David,^[a] and he also realized that the Lord was helping David.
