Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the Lord came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul, looking out at a window,.... Of the palace, to see the procession, see 2 Samuel 6:16 where not only this circumstance is related, and the inward contempt she had David in, because of his behaviour, but also what she said, and what David returned in answer to it.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 15:29. Michal - saw - David dancing - and she despised him — See this whole business explained 2 Samuel 6:20, &c., where David's conduct is vindicated, and the nature of Michal's disgrace and punishment hinted at, but all left to the reader's determination.
