25 And the men of Israel began to say: “Have YOU seen this man that is coming up? For it is to taunt+ Israel that he is coming up. And it must occur that, the man who strikes him down, the king will enrich him with great riches, and his own daughter he will give him,+ and the house of his father he will set free in Israel.”+

27 So David rose and he and his men went and struck+ down among the Phi·lisʹtines two* hundred men, and David came bringing their foreskins+ and giving them in full number to the king, to form a marriage alliance with the king. In turn Saul gave him Miʹchal his daughter as a wife.+
