New Testament

1 Samuel 18:26-30 New English Translation (NET)

26. So his servants told David these things and David agreed to become the king’s son-in-law. Now the specified time had not yet expired

27. when David, along with his men, went out and struck down two hundred Philistine men. David brought their foreskins and presented all of them to the king so he could become the king’s son-in-law. Saul then gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.

28. When Saul realized that the Lord was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David,

29. Saul became even more afraid of him. Saul continued to be at odds with David from then on.

30. Then the leaders of the Philistines would march out, and as often as they did so, David achieved more success than all of Saul’s servants. His name was held in high esteem.
