1 Samuel 18:25 in Context — 1 Samuel 18
23 Les serviteurs de Saül répétèrent ces paroles aux oreilles de David. Et David répondit: Croyez-vous qu’il soit facile de devenir le gendre du roi? Moi, je suis un homme pauvre et de peu d’importance.
24 Les serviteurs de Saül lui rapportèrent ce qu’avait répondu David.
25 Saül dit: Vous parlerez ainsi à David: Le roi ne demande point de dot; mais il désire cent prépuces de Philistins, pour être vengé de ses ennemis. Saül avait le dessein de faire tomber David entre les mains des Philistins.
26 Les serviteurs de Saül rapportèrent ces paroles à David, et David agréa ce qui lui était demandé pour qu’il devînt gendre du roi.
27 Avant le terme fixé, David se leva, partit avec ses gens, et tua deux cents hommes parmi les Philistins; il apporta leurs prépuces, et en livra au roi le nombre complet, afin de devenir gendre du roi. Alors Saül lui donna pour femme Mical, sa fille.
