According to my Bible and also the Bible Gateway: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1 Samuel+18&version=KJV

The actual figure IS 200, Saul asked for 100, but David gave him two hundred.  Are you saying that this was a good and acceptable thing to do because it was attempted murder?



So you are arguing with the Bible?  This is the word of God and cannot be challenged.  Or maybe it isn't the word of God and we should give it no more credibility than any other old book.  What say you?



As I noted in one of my previous posts, much of the Law of Moses was lifted from the Code of Hammurabi and many of the stories attributed to the Israelites were actually about Hammurabi's people--they slaughtered everybody around them.  I suppose it inflated the egos of the writers of the Bible to use those stories to make themselves and their god seem more powerful.
