Saul then ordered his servants to speak to David privately and to say: "The king is fond of you, and all his officers love you. You should become the king's son-in-law." (1 Samuel 18, 22)
But when Saul's servants mentioned this to David, he said: "Do you think it easy to become the king's son-in-law? I am poor and insignificant." (1 Samuel 18, 23)
Saul commanded them to say this to David: "The king desires no other price for the bride than the foreskins of one hundred Philistines, that he may thus take vengeance on his enemies." Saul intended in this way to bring about David's death through the Philistines. (1 Samuel 18, 25)
David made preparations and sallied forth with his men and slew two hundred Philistines. He brought back their foreskins and counted them out before the king, that he might thus become the king's son-in-law. So Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage. (1 Samuel 18, 27)
Saul thus came to recognize that the LORD was with David; besides, his own daughter Michal loved David. (1 Samuel 18, 28)
Therefore Saul feared David all the more (and was his enemy ever after). (1 Samuel 18, 29)
(The Philistine chiefs continued to make forays, but each time they took the field, David was more successful against them than any other of Saul's officers, and as a result acquired great fame.) (1 Samuel 18, 30)
Saul discussed his intention of killing David with his son Jonathan and with all his servants. But Saul's son Jonathan, who was very fond of David, (1 Samuel 19, 1)
told him: "My father Saul is trying to kill you. Therefore, please be on your guard tomorrow morning; get out of sight and remain in hiding. (1 Samuel 19, 2)
Jonathan then spoke well of David to his father Saul, saying to him: "Let not your majesty sin against his servant David, for he has committed no offense against you, but has helped you very much by his deeds. (1 Samuel 19, 4)
Saul heeded Jonathan's plea and swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be killed." (1 Samuel 19, 6)
So Jonathan summoned David and repeated the whole conversation to him. Jonathan then brought David to Saul, and David served him as before. (1 Samuel 19, 7)
