dowry, but only a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of
the king's enemies. Now Saul thought to deliver David into the hands of
the Philistines.

18:26. And when his servants had told David the words that Saul had

were under him, and he slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and

hath not sinned against thee, and his works are very good towards thee.

19:5. And he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the
