And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth Saul’s son, saying, Deliver to me my wife Michal, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way: When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
And Saul said, Thus shall you say to David, The king does not desire any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged on the king’s enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Therefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew 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. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.
