Woman living at the time of United Monarchy
Michal
Saul’s younger daughter, who loved David. Saul agreed to give her to him in the hope that she would be a snare, but David paid the price of a hundred Philistine foreskins and she became his wife (1 Samuel 18:20–27). She saved his life by letting him down through a window when Saul sent men to kill him (1 Samuel 19:11–17). Saul gave her to another man; David later demanded her back (1 Samuel 25:44; 2 Samuel 3:13–16). When David danced before the ark as it came into Jerusalem, she despised him in her heart (2 Samuel 6:16).
