Why does the Bible say King David collected 100 foreskins to marry Saul’s daughter?
In this video, we explore one of the strangest and most disturbing stories in the Bible, found in 1 Samuel 18. King Saul sends David to battle and asks him to bring back 100 Philistine foreskins as a bride price — hoping David will die in the process. Instead, David returns successfully, and in some versions of the text, he even brings back 200.
Together with Bible & Archaeology scholar Jordan Jones, we examine the historical and archaeological background behind this shocking story. From ancient war trophies to Egyptian reliefs showing the collection of hands and penises after battle, this episode reveals how brutal ancient warfare really was — and why this story may reflect real ancient practices.
Was this just a weird Bible story, or does archaeology explain it?
