II Księga Samuela 3:13

Na co on odpowiedział jemu: Dobrze, uczynię ja przymierzę z tobą, a wszakoż proszę cię o jedną rzecz, abyś nie przychodził przed mię, aż mi pierwej przyślesz Michol, córkę Saulowę. A zatym, gdy chcesz, tedy przyjdź, a ujrzy się ze mną.

Biblia Gdańska (1632)
Któremu odpowiedział: Dobrze, uczynię z tobą przymierze. A wszakże o jedno cię proszę, mianowicie, abyś nie przychodził przed oblicze moje, aż mi pierwej przywiedziesz Michol, córkę Saulowę, gdy będziesz chciał przyjść, abyś widział twarz moję.
Nowe Przymierze Zaremba

Nowa Biblia Gdańska (2012)
Więc odpowiedział: Dobrze, zawrę z tobą umowę; jednak żądam od ciebie jednej rzeczy: Nie zobaczysz mojego oblicza; chyba, że przybywając, by zobaczyć moje oblicze, sprowadzisz także Michalę, córkę Saula.

Uwspółcześniona Biblia Gdańska

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

that is: Heb. saying

Thou shalt: Genesis 43:3, Genesis 44:23, Genesis 44:26

except: As Michal was not divorced, but violently separated from David, he had a legal right to demand her, and was justified in receiving her again. It is probable, also, that her marriage with Phaltiel was a force upon her inclinations; and whatever affections he might have for her, it was highly criminal for him to take another man's wife. David required Michal probably both out of affection for her, and to strengthen his interest, by asserting his affinity with the house of Saul.

Michal: 2 Samuel 3:20-23, 1 Samuel 18:20-28, 1 Samuel 19:11-17, 1 Chronicles 15:29

Reciprocal: Genesis 33:10 - I have seen 1 Samuel 14:49 - name of the firstborn 2 Samuel 14:24 - let him not

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said, well, I will make a league with thee,.... He accepted of the offer, he was ready and willing to enter into a covenant of friendship with him, and forgive all past offences:

but one thing I require of thee; as the condition of this covenant:

that is, thou shall not see my face; be admitted into my presence, or have any mark of my favour and respect:

except thou first bring Michal, Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face; he insisted on it that Michal, Saul's daughter, and his wife, should be brought along with him, and presented to him; this was the preliminary to the league and covenant; if this was not complied with, the proposal would not be attended to. This shows the great affection David retained for his first wife, though he had had six since, see 2 Samuel 3:2, and though she had lived with another man, 1 Samuel 25:44; as also his great regard to the honour of Saul's family, that one of them might share with him in the grandeur of the kingdom; though this also might be a piece of policy in him, to gain the friends of Saul's family to him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

David’s motive in requiring the restitution of Michal was partly his affection for her, and his memory of her love for him; partly the wish to wipe out the affront put upon him in taking away his wife, by obtaining her return; and partly, also, a politic consideration of the effect on Saul’s partisans of a daughter of Saul being David’s queen.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 3:13. Except thou first bring Michal — David had already six wives at Hebron; and none of them could have such pretensions to legitimacy as Michal, who had been taken away from him and married to Phaltiel. However distressing it was to take her from a husband who loved her most tenderly, (see 2 Samuel 3:16), yet prudence and policy required that he should strengthen his own interest in the kingdom as much as possible; and that he should not leave a princess in the possession of a man who might, in her right, have made pretensions to the throne. Besides, she was his own lawful wife, and he had a right to demand her when he pleased.
