20 Now Miʹchal,+ Saul’s daughter, was in love with David, and they went reporting it to Saul, and the matter was to his liking.*

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.+

11 Later Saul sent messengers+ to David’s house to watch it and to have him put to death in the morning;+ but Miʹchal his wife told David, saying: “If you are not letting your soul escape tonight, tomorrow you will be a man put to death.”

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

29 And it came about that, when the ark of the covenant+ of Jehovah came as far as the City of David, Miʹchal,+ Saul’s daughter, herself looked down through the window and got to see King David skipping about and celebrating;+ and she began to despise+ him in her heart.
