Answer: 100 Philistine foreskins
After David's refusal to marry Saul's older daughter, King Saul discovered that his daughter Michal was actually in love with David. He saw another opportunity to try to get David to become his son-in-law and thought that Michal could be used as a snare to trap David. David however refused the offer again on the grounds of being a poor man, presumably implying that he wouldn't be able to afford the bride price required by a king.
Saul saw this as an opportunity to get David killed so didn't ask for money or anything of monetary value: he simply asked David to go and kill 100 Philistines and bring back their foreskins! (This sounds somewhat gruesome to modern ears!) David agreed to the challenge and went to it with a vengeance. He and his men went out and killed not 100 but 200 Philistines and brought their foreskins to the king. And so David and Michal were married. (See 1 Samuel 18:20-27).

Answer: 8 sons, youngest
1 Samuel 17:12b "Jesse had eight sons, and in Saul's time he was old and well advanced in years." Samuel originally thought that the oldest son, Eliab, would be the one who was to be king, but God replied in 1 Samuel 16:7 "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." Meaning to say God did not choose the oldest, but the most faithful.
The listing in 2 Chronicles implies that David was one of seven sons rather than eight.

Answer: Let him down through the window
Saul's jealousy and hatred of David continued and Saul was constantly on the lookout for an opportunity to kill his son-in-law. One night Saul sent men to watch David's house with the plan to kill him the next morning. Michal must have heard of this, though, and persuaded her husband that he had to flee for his life. She let him down out of a window and he was able to escape.
Michal then dressed an idol and put it in David's place in the bed. When Saul's men came the next day she pretended that David was ill so they couldn't see him. On hearing this her father himself then came to the house and was angry with her deception. (See 1 Samuel 19:11-17).
