The Foolishness Of Queen Michal
By Mark Flippo
2 Samuel 6: (ESV)
16-As the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, and she despised him in her heart. 17-And they brought in the ark of the Lord and set it in its place, inside the tent that David had pitched for it. And David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. 18-And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts 19-and distributed among all the people, the whole multitude of Israel, both men and women, a cake of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins to each one. Then all the people departed, each to his house.
20-And David returned to bless his household. But Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel honored himself today, uncovering himself today before the eyes of his servants' female servants, as one of the vulgar fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!” 21-And David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me as prince over Israel, the people of the Lord—and I will celebrate before the Lord. 22-I will make myself yet more contemptible than this, and I will be abased in your eyes. But by the female servants of whom you have spoken, by them I shall be held in honor.” 23-And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
She despised King David for worshiping the Lord. In verse fourteen it says "And David danced before the Lord with all his might. And David was wearing a linen ephod." David did not dance naked as some say he did! He humbled himself before God as an example to his people. They were to worship Jehovah with all their
hearts and to let no man think too highly of himself! Michal making a mockery of what was so important to King David brought loneliness to her! The king never touched her again in the physically romantic way. Be very careful of what you make fun of, or take lightly! Never disrespect the things of God! You can be cut off from God never to feel His presence again!!! Notice in verse 19 that after the sacrifice each person in Israel was given THREE things.
19-and distributed among all the people, the whole multitude of Israel, both men and women, a cake of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins to each one. Then all the people departed, each to his house.
Three in Bible numbers means this is of great significance! I do not completely understand all that He is trying to tell us but I will seek the Lord for the answer!!
