There was a legendary episode in our history when Polish interventionists tried to capture the young tsar Mikhail Romanov, who was hiding in the forests near Kostroma. A local peasant Ivan Susanin volunteered to be a guide and led them into such wilds that few of them were able to return. There are still jokes like "Ivan Susanin tour agency", etc.

1 Samuel 18:24-27
24 When Saul’s servants told him what David had said, 25 Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king wants no other price for the bride than a hundred Philistine foreskins, to take revenge on his enemies.’” Saul’s plan was to have David fall by the hands of the Philistines.

26 When the attendants told David these things, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. So before the allotted time elapsed, 27 David took his men with him and went out and killed two hundred Philistines and brought back their foreskins. They counted out the full number to the king so that David might become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.

If only David had known he could have bought them.
