27 So David rose and he and his men went and struck+ down among the Phi·lisʹtines two* hundred men, and David came bringing their foreskins+ and giving them in full number to the king, to form a marriage alliance with the king. In turn Saul gave him Miʹchal his daughter as a wife.+

44 As for Saul, he had given Miʹchal+ his daughter, David’s wife, to Palʹti+ the son of Laʹish, who was from Galʹlim.+

13 To this he said: “Good! I myself shall conclude a covenant with you. Only one thing there is that I am asking of you, saying, ‘You may not see my face+ except first you bring Miʹchal,+ Saul’s daughter, when you come to see my face.’”

20 David now returned to bless his own household,+ and Miʹchal,+ Saul’s daughter, came on out to meet David and then said: “How glorious the king of Israel made himself today+ when he uncovered himself today to the eyes of the slave girls of his servants, just as one of the empty-headed men* uncovers himself outright!”+
