2 Samuel 6:23 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 6:23

Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child until the
day of her death.
] The children she brought up for Adriel were not her own, but adopted ones, or Adriel's by another woman, ( 2 Samuel 21:8 ) ; however, she had none after this time, whatever she had before, and it does not appear that she had any, though the Jews say she was Eglah, and Ithream her son, (See Gill on 2 Samuel 3:5). And thus she that vilified David brought a reproach upon herself, as barrenness was always reckoned, and no one descending from her arrived to royal dignity, and sat on the throne of David; and so it was ordered in Providence, as Abarbinel observes, that the seed of David and of Saul might not be mixed.

2 Samuel 6:23 In-Context

21 Da sprach David zu Michal: Vor Jehova, der mich vor deinem Vater und vor seinem ganzen Hause erwählt hat, um mich als Fürst zu bestellen über das Volk Jehovas, über Israel, ja, vor Jehova will ich spielen;
22 und ich will noch geringer werden denn also, und will niedrig sein in meinen Augen; aber bei den Mägden, von denen du sprichst, bei ihnen werde ich geehrt sein.
23 Michal aber die Tochter Sauls, hatte kein Kind bis zum Tage ihres Todes.
