Michal and David Argue
Exegetical Approaches
Dispute Over Monarchic Behavior
Michal and David's dispute stemmed from differing attitudes towards kingship. Michal put human honor above Divine glory and thus found David's behavior before the ark undignified and unbecoming of royalty. Her outlook reflected that of the rejected House of Shaul, while David's opposing view merited him dynastic leadership.
