First Samuel 18:27

And David arose and went, he and his men, and slew two hundred men of the Philistines, and David took their foreskins and gave the whole number to the king, to become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal as his wife.
[David fulfills the king's wish twice over and gives a double dowry. This shows his devotion and eagerness to become part of the royal family. Saul has no choice but to let Michal marry David.]
