1 Samuel 18:27
Two hundred - He doubled the number required; to oblige Saul the more to the performance of his promise; and to shew his great respect and affection to Saul's daughter.
25 Then Saul said, “Thus you shall say to David: ‘The king does not desire any adowry but one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to take bvengeance on the king’s enemies.’ ” But Saul cthought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 So when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to become the king’s son-in-law. Now athe days had not expired;
27 therefore David arose and went, he and ahis men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. And bDavid brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full count to the king, that he might become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as a wife.
28 Thus Saul saw and knew that the Lord was with David, and that Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him;
29 and Saul was still more afraid of David. So Saul became David’s enemy1 continually.
