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.

28 Saül vit et comprit que l’Éternel était avec David; et Mical, sa fille, aimait David.
