                                  MICHAL

1SA 18:22  Then Saul ordered his attendants: "Speak to David privately and 
say, 'Look, the king is pleased with you, and his attendants all like you; 
now become his son-in-law.'"

1SA 18:23  They repeated these words to David. But David said, "Do you 
think it is a small matter to become the king's son-in-law? I'm only a poor 
man and little known."

1SA 18:24  When Saul's servants told him what David had said,

1SA 18:25  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.

1SA 18:26  When the attendants told David these things, he was pleased to 
become the king's son-in-law. So before the allotted time elapsed,

1SA 18:27  David and his men went out and killed two hundred Philistines. 
He brought their foreskins and presented the full number to the king so 
that he might become the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter 
Michal in marriage.

1SA 18:28  When Saul realized that the LORD was with David and that his 
daughter Michal loved David,

1SA 19:9  But an evil spirit from the LORD came upon Saul as he was sitting 
in his house with his spear in his hand. While David was playing the harp,

1SA 19:10  Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear, but David 
eluded him as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David made 
good his escape.

1SA 19:11  Saul sent men to David's house to watch it and to kill him in 
the morning. But Michal, David's wife, warned him, "If you don't run for 
your life tonight, tomorrow you'll be killed."

1SA 19:12  So Michal let David down through a window, and he fled and 
escaped.

1SA 19:13  Then Michal took an idol and laid it on the bed, covering it 
with a garment and putting some goats' hair at the head.

1SA 19:14  When Saul sent the men to capture David, Michal said, "He is 
ill."

1SA 19:15  Then Saul sent the men back to see David and told them, "Bring 
him up to me in his bed so that I may kill him."

1SA 19:16  But when the men entered, there was the idol in the bed, and at 
the head was some goats' hair.

1SA 19:17  Saul said to Michal, "Why did you deceive me like this and send 
my enemy away so that he escaped?" Michal told him, "He said to me, 'Let me 
get away. Why should I kill you?'"

1SA 25:44  But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Paltiel 
son of Laish, who was from Gallim.

2SA 3:13  "Good," said David. "I will make an agreement with you. But I 
demand one thing of you: Do not come into my presence unless you bring 
Michal daughter of Saul when you come to see me."

2SA 3:14  Then David sent messengers to Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, demanding, 
"Give me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for the price of a 
hundred Philistine foreskins."

2SA 3:15  So Ish-Bosheth gave orders and had her taken away from her 
husband Paltiel son of Laish.

2SA 3:16  Her husband, however, went with her, weeping behind her all the 
way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, "Go back home!" So he went back.

2SA 6:16  As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Michal 
daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping 
and dancing before the LORD, she despised him in her heart.

2SA 6:20  When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter 
of Saul came out to meet him and said, "How the king of Israel has 
distinguished himself today, disrobing in the sight of the slave girls of 
his servants as any vulgar fellow would!"

2SA 6:21  David said to Michal, "It was before the LORD, who chose me 
rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler 
over the LORD'S people Israel--I will celebrate before the LORD.

2SA 6:22  I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be 
humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be 
held in honor."

2SA 6:23  And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her 
death.
