I Samuel 18:27
The Scripture
(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.

Saul repeatedly tried to kill David and eventually gave him his daughter Michal in marriage, hoping the dangerous bride price of Philistine foreskins would cause David's death.
