Then David sent messengers to say to Ish-bosheth son of Saul, ‘Give me back my wife Michal. I was engaged to her for the price of a hundred Philistine foreskins.’
For twenty years in your household I served you #– #fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks #– #and you have changed my wages ten times!
Saul’s servants reported these words directly to David, but he replied, ‘Is it trivial in your sight to become the king’s son-in-law? I am a poor commoner.’
