New Testament

1 Samuel 18:26-30 Common English Bible (CEB)

26. When the servants reported this to David, he was happy to become the king’s son-in-law. Even before the allotted time had expired,

27. David got up and went with his soldiers and killed one hundred Philistines. David brought their foreskins and counted them out for the king so he could become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave his daughter Michal to him in marriage.

28. When Saul knew for certain that the Lord was with David and that his daughter Michal loved him,

29. then Saul was even more afraid of David. Saul was David’s enemy for the rest of his life.

30. And whenever the Philistine commanders came out for battle, David would have more success than the rest of Saul’s officers, so his fame spread widely.
