Yes this is a sensitive subject,and often those who care most about the rates of divorce seem no different in the church happen look the same as non believers…and in the end often it’s woman who try to justify thiet emotions…does God Care?of course he does why he warned of the cost in all we chosse to do,comes with a price,often in the cases when partners do nor die, and coupkes remain alive then remarry with in the church, 2nd marriages do not last. I have more interest in the church and the ever changing stand on marriage,divorce and the remarriage leaders ministers seem now to bend to with in many denominations, that’s seems nothing more than emtional manipulation often on females side to either marry another Christain man,or mem to simply unhappy with thuer Christain wife’s who for whatever reasons get tired and decide to divorce, we do not live in the smae culture of the times of the Bible,however I feel there has been a sad and serious lack of insight with those confessing to follow Christ,yet try to rationalise Christain divorcing then remarring. Have you ever been an adulterer according to Mosaic Law?Įnjoyed the read on the minor charactors of the Bible,or those less talked about but as important.
Palti was an adulterer when he had sex with David’s wife. According to Mosaic marriage and adultery laws, Michal became an adulterer when she married Palti. Reflection: Princess Michal was a pawn of her husbands and father. Should Michal have defied her father and said, “No, father, I am still married to David.” Perhaps she did so however, no protesting on Michal’s part moved her father from his position. The king (and her father) ordered Michal to marry Palti. King Saul, Michal’s father and king, declared her marriage to David void. David (with her help) fled her father David married other women. David would have been within his legal right to kill Palti, but then he would have had to enact the same punishment on Michal, which David was unwilling to do.Īs a woman, I can identify with Michal’s position. Despite their adultery, the Bible recorded no place that either Michal or Palti were punished (stoned to death). Michal was an adulterer because she had sex with Palti while she was the wife of David. Under Mosaic Law only a husband had the power to divorce his wife. Palti because he willingly had sex with David’s wife. Pondering Relationships: Clearly, both Palti and Michal were adulterers. David’s rationale for reclaiming Michal was that he never divorced her. Commander Abner went to Gallim and returned Michal to King David. When King Saul was killed and David declared king, David demanded the return of Michal. At this point, readers don’t know who Michal loved if anyone. If his actions are any indication Palti loved Michal (2 Samuel 3.14-16). How long Michal lived as Palti’s wife is unknown. Apparently, Palti was a supporter of King Saul. Palti was the son of Laish, of the town of Gallim (1 Samuel 25.43). King Saul gave Michal to Palti as his wife. King Saul declared the marriage between David and Michal over they were divorced. That didn’t occur consequently, even though David abandoned Michal, they remained married according to Mosaic Law. To do that David would have had to give Michal a written letter of divorce and send her from his home (Deuteronomy 24:1-4). StoryLine: David didn’t not divorce Michal. Michal remained in Jerusalem either in her home or in King Saul’s palace. Instead David married two other women who stayed with David.
While David was hiding from King Saul, he made no effort to have Michal join him. She provided a way for David to escape and fooled King Saul, thus protecting David against her father. When King Saul attempted to kill David, Michal warned him. The Bible says that Princess Michal loved David, however, there is no record that he loved her. David brought King Saul 200 Philistine foreskins. The foreskins were proof that David killed 100 Philistines. The bride price that King Saul wanted from David was 100 Philistine foreskins. Saul’s youngest daughter, Princess Michal loved David and wanted to marry him. David killed Goliath, the Philistine champion. Michel lived as Palti’s wife for a number of years.īack Story: King Saul went to war with the Philistines. Heart of the Story: Michal was David’s wife however, Saul (Michal’s father and king of Israel) gave her to Palti as a wife while David was in hiding.
