Contextual Overview

20 When David returned to bless his household, Mikhal the daughter of Sha'ul came out to meet him and said, "Such honor the king of Isra'el earned for himself today — exposing himself before his servants' slave-girls like some vulgar exhibitionist!" 21 David answered Mikhal, "In the presence of Adonai — who chose me over your father and over everyone in his family to make me chief over Adonai 's people, over Isra'el — I will celebrate in the presence of Adonai ! 22 I will make myself still more contemptible than that, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes, but those slave-girls you mentioned will honor me!" 23 Mikhal the daughter of Sha'ul remained childless until the day she died.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Michal: 1 Samuel 1:6-8, Isaiah 4:1, Hosea 9:11, Luke 1:25

unto the day: 1 Samuel 15:35, Isaiah 22:14, Matthew 1:25

Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 3:3 - Eglah

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child until the day of her death. The children she brought up for Adriel were not her own, but adopted ones, or Adriel's by another woman, 2 Samuel 21:8; however, she had none after this time, whatever she had before, and it does not appear that she had any, though the Jews say she was Eglah, and Ithream her son, 2 Samuel 21:8- :. And thus she that vilified David brought a reproach upon herself, as barrenness was always reckoned, and no one descending from her arrived to royal dignity, and sat on the throne of David; and so it was ordered in Providence, as Abarbinel observes, that the seed of David and of Saul might not be mixed.
