NET Bible
"So his servants told David these things and David agreed to become the king’s son-in-law. Now the specified time had not yet expired"
— 1 Samuel 18:26, NET Bible
“And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son in law: and the days were not expired.”
“And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. And the days were not expired; ”
“When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. The days were not expired;”
“And when his servants had told David the words that Saul had said, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David to be the king's son in law.”
“And when his servants said these words to David, he was well pleased to be the son-in-law of the king. And the days were still not past.”
“And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son in law: and the days were not expired.”
So Saul’s servants spoke these words privately to David. David replied,“Is becoming the king’s son-in-law something insignificant to you? I’m just a poor and lightly-esteemed man!”
When Saul’s servants reported what David had said,
Saul replied,“Here is what you should say to David:‘There is nothing that the king wants as a price for the bride except a hundred Philistine foreskins, so that he can be avenged of his enemies.’”(Now Saul was thinking that he could kill David by the hand of the Philistines.)
So his servants told David these things and David agreed to become the king’s son-in-law. Now the specified time had not yet expired
when David, along with his men, went out and struck down two hundred Philistine men. David brought their foreskins and presented all of them to the king so he could become the king’s son-in-law. Saul then gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.
When Saul realized that the LORD was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David,
Saul became even more afraid of him. Saul continued to be at odds with David from then on.
