From 1 Samuel 18, David paid the dowry for his wife, Michal, with 200 Philistine foreskins. Saul had a servant tell David that the king desired no dowry except for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, hoping that David would die trying to collect. David arose and went, along with his men, and killed 200 of the Philistines. David brought their foreskins, which were given in full number to the king, as dowry, so
