I was reading the Bible the other day and read again the disturbing (to me anyway) account of King David stealing the wife of another man - no, I’m not talking about Bathsheba and Uriah - I’m talking about Michal, Saul’s daughter. Michal’s husband was weeping over the loss of his wife. Later Michal “despised” David in her heart.
______________________________________________________

That never happened at all...

Michal was promised to David...

Saul gave Michal to another man to spite David while he was gone..

David came back and claimed his rightful wife...

It was the other guy who had stolen David’s wife...

Michal was angry because David danced before the Lord and worshipped Him for the victory over the enemy...

Michal refused to dance herself so she despised David for doing so...

A bit of futher reading reveals how God punished Michal for her sin against God and David..

God shut up her womb and Michal never had any children.

If you wait a mo I’ll look in The Bible and get the sources for you...

No ????

You are right, Michael was David’s wife, but Saul gave her to another man when David had to flee from Saul and be gone so long. David took her back. She despised David’s worship of the LORD when He danced before the Ark, and she got cursed to be barren -and she was.

SOMEone must have learned that drivel from the knee of a MORMON teacher, because the JST didn't say IT was translated wrong.
