21 And Saul said, 'I will give her to him, so that she may be a stumbling block to him, and so that the hand of the Philistines may be upon him.' And Saul said to David, 'In two things, you shall be my son-in-law today.'
22 And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: 'Behold, you are pleasing to the king, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, be the son-in-law of the king.'
23 And the servants of Saul spoke all these words to the ears of David. And David said: 'Does it seem a small matter to you, to be the son-in-law of the king? I am but a poor and unimportant man.'
24 And the servants reported to Saul, saying, 'David has spoken words in this manner.'
25 Then Saul said, 'Speak in this way to David: The king does not have need of any dowry, but only one hundred foreskins from the Philistine men, so that he may be vindicated from the enemies of the king.' So did Saul think to deliver David into the hands of the Philistines.
