ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૧૮:૨૭
તે દિવસો પૂરા થયા પહેલા દાઉદ પોતાના માણસોને લઈને ગયો. તેણે બસો પલિસ્તીઓને મારી નાખ્યા. અને તેઓનાં અગ્રચર્મ લાવ્યો, અને તેઓએ તે રાજાને પૂરેપૂરાં ગણી આપ્યાં, કે જેથી તે રાજાનો જમાઈ થાય. તેથી શાઉલે પોતાની દીકરી મિખાલને તેની પત્ની થવા માટે આપી.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल १८:२७
तब दाऊद अपने जनों को संग लेकर चला, और पलिश्तियों के दो सौ पुरुषों को मारा; तब दाऊद उनकी खलड़ियों को ले आया, और वे राजा को गिन-गिनकर दी गईं, इसलिए कि वह राजा का दामाद हो जाए। अतः शाऊल ने अपनी बेटी मीकल का उससे विवाह कर दिया।

In context

25Saul said, “Tell David, ‘The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies.’” Now Saul thought he would make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

26When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. Before the deadline,

27David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.

28Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David; and Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him.

29Saul was even more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually.
