2 Samuel 21:8

(who is like God?), the younger of Saul’s two daughters (1 Samuel 14:49), who married David. The price fixed on Michal’s hand was no less than the slaughter of a hundred Philistines. David, by a brilliant feat, doubled the tale of victims, and Michal became his wife. Shortly afterward she saved David from the assassins whom her father had sent to take his life (1 Samuel 19:11-17). When the rupture between Saul and David had become open and incurable, she was married to another man, Phalti or Phaltiel of Gallim (1 Samuel 25:44). After the death of her father and brothers at Gilboa, David compelled her new husband to surrender Michal to him (2 Samuel 3:13-16). How Michal comported herself in the altered circumstances of David’s household we are not told, but it is plain from the subsequent occurrences that something had happened to alter the relations of herself and David, for on the day of David’s greatest triumph, when he brought the ark of Jehovah to Jerusalem, we are told that “she despised him in her heart.” All intercourse between her and David ceased from that date (2 Samuel 6:20-23). Her name appears (2 Samuel 21:8) as the mother of five of the grandchildren of Saul.
