SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:26
Y cuando sus criados declararon a David estas palabras, agradó la cosa en los ojos de David, para ser yerno del rey. Y como el plazo no era aún cumplido,
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. And when his servants told David these words , etc.] That the king desired no other dowry than an hundred foreskins of the Philistines: it pleased David well to be the king’s son in law ; on such conditions; partly because of the honour of it, and partly because of his love to Michal; and chiefly because it would give him an opportunity of destroying the enemies of God, and of his people, as well as such a match would lead the way, and be a step in Providence to ascend the throne designed for him in due time: and the days were not expired ; neither for the bringing in of the foreskins, nor for the consummation of the marriage.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-30 - For a long time David was kept in continual apprehension of falling by the hand of Saul, yet he persevered in meek and respectful behaviou towards his persecutor. How uncommon is such prudence and discretion especially under insults and provocations! Let us inquire if we imitat this part of the exemplary character before us. Are we behaving wisel in all our ways? Is there no sinful omission, no rashness of spirit nothing wrong in our conduct? Opposition and perverseness in others will not excuse wrong tempers in us, but should increase our care, an attention to the duties of our station. Consider Him that endure contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be weary and faint in your minds, Heb 12:3. If David magnified the honour of being son-in-la to king Saul, how should we magnify the honour of being sons to the King of kings __________________________________________________________________
