2 Samuel 3:14-16
New English Translation

14 David sent messengers to Ish Bosheth son of Saul with this demand:[a] “Give me my wife Michal whom I acquired[b] for 100 Philistine foreskins.” 15 So Ish Bosheth took her[c] from her husband Paltiel[d] son of Laish. 16 Her husband went along behind her, weeping all the way to Bahurim. Finally Abner said to him, “Go back!”[e] So he returned home.
