Saul demands a wedding dowry from David of one hundred Philistine foreskins... and David brings him two hundred.

What use does one have for a couple hundred foreskins? Like, do you try them on your own junk to get that uncircumcised feeling back? Make a quilt? What's the utility?

The utility is proof that he's killed 100 of Saul's enemies, and Saul is possibly hoping that David will get himself killed in battle.

Oh wow, awesome.

Then two hundred foreskins was very generous.

I wonder what the... harvest was like. 😐

Considering it was a desert region in the bronze age, I'd guess... fragrant.

Love that smell of burnt foreskin over an open flame. Just like when we were kids camping out with daddy...
