12So Saul feared David, because the LORD was with him but had departed from Saul.
13Saul removed David from his presence and made him a commanding officer. David led the army out to battle and back.
14Now David achieved success in all he did, for the LORD was with him.
15When Saul saw how very successful he was, he was afraid of him.
16But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he was the one leading them out to battle and back.
17Then Saul said to David,“Here’s my oldest daughter, Merab. I want to give her to you in marriage. Only be a brave warrior for me and fight the battles of the LORD.”For Saul thought,“There’s no need for me to raise my hand against him. Let it be the hand of the Philistines!”
18David said to Saul,“Who am I? Who are my relatives or the clan of my father in Israel that I should become the king’s son-in-law?”
19When the time came for Merab, Saul’s daughter, to be given to David, she instead was given in marriage to Adriel, who was from Meholah.
20Now Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David. When they told Saul about this, it pleased him.
21Saul said,“I will give her to him so that she may become a snare to him and the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David,“Today is the second time for you to become my son-in-law.”
22Then Saul instructed his servants,“Tell David secretly,‘The king is pleased with you, and all his servants like you. So now become the king’s son-in-law.”
23So Saul’s servants spoke these words privately to David. David replied,“Is becoming the king’s son-in-law something insignificant to you? I’m just a poor and lightly-esteemed man!”
24When Saul’s servants reported what David had said,
25Saul replied,“Here is what you should say to David:‘There is nothing that the king wants as a price for the bride except a hundred Philistine foreskins, so that he can be avenged of his enemies.’”(Now Saul was thinking that he could kill David by the hand of the Philistines.)
26So 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
27when 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.
