2 Samuel 3:12-14

Living Bible

¹² Then Abner sent messengers to David to discuss a deal—to surrender the kingdom of Israel to him in exchange for becoming commander-in-chief of the combined armies of Israel and Judah.

¹³ “All right,” David replied, “but I will not negotiate with you unless you bring me my wife Michal, Saul’s daughter.” ¹⁴ David then sent this message to Ish-bosheth: “Give me back my wife Michal, for I bought her with the lives of one hundred Philistines.”
