2 Samuel 6:21-23

New International Reader's Version

²¹ David said to Michal, “I did it to honor the Lord. He chose me instead of your father or anyone else in Saul’s family. The Lord appointed me ruler over his people Israel. I will celebrate to honor the Lord. ²² And that’s not all. I will bring even less honor to myself. I will bring even more shame on myself. But those female slaves you spoke about will honor me.”

²³ Saul’s daughter Michal didn’t have any children as long as she lived.
