    20 Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.

    22 Saul commanded his servants, "Talk with David secretly, and say, 'Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you: now therefore be the king's son-in-law.'"

    23 Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, "Does it seems to you a light thing to be the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?"

    24 The servants of Saul told him, saying, "David spoke like this."

    27 and David arose and went, he and his men, and killed of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.

    28 Saul saw and knew that Yahweh was with David; and Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him.
