Michal

Michal was a princess of the United Kingdom of Israel. She was the younger daughter of King Saul and the first wife of David, who later became king, first of Judah, then of all Israel. Michal was a beautiful woman, and David was smitten with her. However, Saul was not happy with the match. He did not want his daughter to marry a lowly shepherd. He tried to prevent the marriage, but David was determined to have Michal. In the end, Saul agreed to the marriage, but only on the condition that David first killed 100 Philistines. David did as he was told, and he and Michal were married. Michal was a loyal wife to David, but she was also a proud woman. She did not like the fact that David was a shepherd, and she was not happy when he became king. She even tried to have him killed. Despite her flaws, Michal was a strong and independent woman. She was a survivor, and she played an important role in David's rise to power.
