Then Saul said, “Thus shall you say to David, ‘The king desires no bride-price except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, that he may be avenged of the king's enemies.' ” Now Saul thought 
to make David 
fall by the hand of the Philistines.
And when his servants told David 
these words, it pleased 
David well to be the king's son-in-law. Before 
the time had expired,
David arose and went, along with his men, and killed 
two hundred of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins, which were given in full number to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for a wife.

A hundred foreskins sounds like a lot. Maybe 20-40 foreskins, but a hundred is just not believable.
