1Sa 18:27 — Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

his men		1Sa 18:13
slew		Jdg 14:19; 2Sa 3:14
two hundred men		The Septuagint has only [ ] one hundred men; and as Saul covenanted for a hundred, as David himself says, (2Sa 3:14,) that he espoused Michal for a hundred, it is very probable that this is the true reading.
