14. And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, saying, Deliver to me my wife Michal, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
15. And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Phaltiel the son of Laish.
16. And her husband went with her, weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner to him, Go, return. And he returned.
17. And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David in times past to be king over you:
18. Now then do it: for the LORD hath spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines, and from the hand of all their enemies.
