So, Michal was King Saul’s baby girl. Now, David had been working in her home for a minute, primarily keeping her bipolar daddy halfway sane. She paid him no mind while he was going back and forth to care for his daddy’s sheep.
But after he killed Goliath and was all over social media, a hero…just like her daddy, she developed feelings for him.
Saul, spoiled, insecure, peeped that there was now a faster gun in the West, and he meant to stop him…for good.
Knowing how Michal felt about David, he planned to use Michal’s beauty as a snare for David, who would be so whipped that he wouldn’t be able to fight. Saul arranged a marriage between them with the quickness.
Michal didn’t care how she got him. She had him, and he would never leave. After all, she was Michal, daughter of Saul.
Well, a wise man once said, when it comes to women, there’s got to be more than beauty and butt. Neither attracted David. In fact, he couldn’t stand her. Like her daddy, Michal was self-absorbed with the spiritual depth of a thimble.
But bless God; another war with the Philistines broke out. Once again, he came out a hero.
Oh, hell no! David had to go.
Well, Michal overheard her daddy plotting and planning and warned David to get out of Dodge.
She put an idol dressed like David in their bed to fool her father. Interesting that an idolized version of David is who she wanted to be intimate with.
Anyway, she helped him escape through a window—quick bible study moment. One word for escape in Hebrew means delivered. God sho’ works in mysterious ways. David was delivered from a marriage he never wanted to be in.
Once the coast was clear, Michal just knew David would come running back. But he didn’t, never sent so much as a text.
Over the years, Michal became very bitter. She couldn’t believe he didn’t come back. After all, she was Michal, daughter of Saul.
Even with a second marriage to a man who loved her, Michal couldn’t accept it because of her feelings for the one who didn’t.
To the day she died, Michal refused to wake up to the fact that life aint a dream. She idolized David, like her father, but could never accept David as he was, walking and talking, just like a natural man.
