"Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife." (I Samuel 18:27)
Why on earth would you want 200 foreskins?

There was once a Rabbi who retired. He wanted a souvenir of his time as a Rabbi, so he took the jar where he stored the foreskins he removed during circumcision (there were 200 foreskins) to a leather-worker and said, 'Please make something nice out of all these foreskins'.
The leather-worker said, 'Sure, come back in a week.'
The Rabbi returned and the leather-worker presented him with a wallet made of foreskins.
The Rabbi was angry. 'A wallet? I give you 200 foreskins and you make a wallet?'
'Relax,' said the leather worker. 'Stroke it a couple of times and it'll turn into a suitcase!'
That's one thing you could do with 200 foreskins...

The repeatedly translated and subjectively edited writings of ancient people at that level of civilization and sophistication are what many millions of people in the world today base their entire lives on. When I think about that, I can't help but feel like the human race is probably doomed.

It's a primitive practice. During conflicts and war people would usually cut off people's ears, tongues and bring them as War Trophies.
We would find many such things to be unusual since we are in the modern age.

The bible was seriously big on circumcision..... If it was for medical or hygiene reasons I don't know.... but God apparently loves nothing better than a snipped penis.
Apparently David was just demonstrated that he de-heathenated the heathens..... irrespective of them being dead.
He "made them clean"....

Saul was obviously a big fan of stem-cell research.

You can make a wallet out of them that, if you rub it, it expands into a brief case.
