Michal
    rivulet, or who as God?, the younger of Saul's two daughters by
    his wife Ahinoam (1 Sam. 14:49, 50). "Attracted by the graces of
    his person and the gallantry of his conduct, she fell in love
    with David and became his wife" (18:20-28). She showed her
    affection for him by promoting his escape to Naioth when Saul
    sought his life (1 Sam. 19:12-17. Comp. Ps. 59. See TERAPHIM
    �T0003618). After this she did not see David for many years.
    Meanwhile she was given in marriage to another man, Phalti or
    Phaltiel of Gallim (1 Sam. 25:44), but David afterwards formally
    reclaimed her as his lawful wife (2 Sam. 3:13-16). The relation
    between her and David soon after this was altered. They became
    alienated from each other. This happened on that memorable day
    when the ark was brought up in great triumph from its temporary
    resting-place to the Holy City. In David's conduct on that
    occasion she saw nothing but a needless humiliation of the royal
    dignity (1 Chr. 15:29). She remained childless, and thus the
    races of David and Saul were not mixed. In 2 Sam. 21:8 her name
    again occurs, but the name Merab should probably be here
    substituted for Michal (comp. 1 Sam. 18:19).
