I was reading the Bible the other day and read again the disturbing (to me anyway) account of King David stealing the wife of another man - no, I’m not talking about Bathsheba and Uriah - I’m talking about Michal, Saul’s daughter. Michal’s husband was weeping over the loss of his wife. Later Michal “despised” David in her heart.
______________________________________________________
That never happened at all...
Michal was promised to David...
Saul gave Michal to another man to spite David while he was gone..
David came back and claimed his rightful wife...
It was the other guy who had stolen David’s wife...
Michal was angry because David danced before the Lord and worshipped Him for the victory over the enemy...
Michal refused to dance herself so she despised David for doing so...
A bit of futher reading reveals how God punished Michal for her sin against God and David..
God shut up her womb and Michal never had any children.
Thank you!
