6:16 Michal is identified as the daughter of Saul three times (6:16, 20, 23). The use of her father’s name underscores the ambiguity of David’s relationship to her. Was she more David’s wife or Saul’s daughter? Had David reunited with her (3:13) because he loved her or because she was politically useful to him?
• Michal might have been filled with contempt for any of the following reasons: (1) She thought David’s behavior was too sexually suggestive in front of a young female audience; (2) she was jealous over the glory David was receiving while she sat at home, a neglected wife; (3) she resented David’s indifference to her for many years, his taking of other wives, and her being torn away from her second husband Palti (3:16-17); or (4) she felt sorrow for her late father and David’s success at the expense of Saul’s dynasty (see study note on 6:21).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
