2 Samuel 3:14

Context

3:14 David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth son of Saul with this demand: 1  “Give me my wife Michal whom I acquired 2  for a hundred Philistine foreskins.”

2 Samuel 24:24

Context
24:24 But the king said to Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it from you! I will not offer to the Lord my God burnt sacrifices that cost me nothing.”

So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty pieces of silver. 3 

1 tn Heb “to Ish-bosheth son of Saul saying.” To avoid excessive sibilance (especially when read aloud) the translation renders “saying” as “with this demand.”

2 tn Heb “whom I betrothed to myself.”

3 tn Heb “fifty shekels of silver.” This would have been about 20 ounces (568 grams) of silver by weight.
