Up until this point when comparing II Samuel and I Chronicles, most of the differences are due to elevation of the house of David. In chapter 15, the opposite seems to be the case. During the second parade with the Ark to Jerusalem David takes front and center dancing and twirling in front of the procession. As he reaches the gates of Jerusalem, Michal, daughter of Saul and David's wife, peers out of the window and is horrified at what she sees.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Notice the difference in how the two books describe the event:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cAs the Ark of the LORD entered the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the LORD; and she despised him for it\u2026David went home to greet his household. And Michal, daughter of Saul, came out to meet David and said, \u2018Didn\u2019t the king of Israel do himself honor today\u2014exposing himself today in the sight of the slave girls of his subjects, as one of the riffraff might expose himself!\u2019 David answered Michal, \u2018It was before the LORD who chose me instead of your father and all his family and appointed me ruler over the LORD\u2019s people Israel! I will dance before the LORD\/ and dishonor myself even more, and be low in my own<\/span> esteem; but among the slave girls that you speak of I will be honored.\u2019\/ so to her dying day Michal daughter of Saul had no children\u201d (II Samuel 6:16, 20-23).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cAs the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD arrived at the City of David, Michal, daughter of Saul, looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing, and she despised him for it.\u201d (II Chron., verse 29).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This is a striking difference between the two books. II Samuel provides much more context, and an additional significant interaction that does not appear in I Chronicles. David addresses the queen and takes a swipe at her father- King Saul. It seems the perfect set up to bolster the house of David over that of Saul.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But the attack on the queen could be why it is removed from Chronicles. Michal was David\u2019s first love. She helped save him from her father. She stood by his side during the transition. The rest of her life is sad. She is childless and David\u2019s affair with Batsheva ends up producing the heir to the throne. In an emotional moment, David lashes out at her, but maybe he regrets what he said. The fact that this whole exchange is deleted and Michal is said to just stew in her thoughts could be an indication that he did in fact regret this interaction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The detailed division of labor among the Levites at the time that David brought the Ark to Jerusalem (1-24) is unparalleled in 2 Samuel, but the concluding verses that describe his personal participation (25-16:3) reprise 2 Samuel 6:12-19. Notably, however, the Chronicler omitted vs. 20-23 there, which describe the critical view of David\u2019s actions (\u201cexposing himself today in the sight of the slave-girls of his subjects, as one of the riffraff might expose himself!\u201d) leveled at him by Queen Michal (Saul\u2019s daughter) on account of which \u201cto her dying day [she] had no children.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

We recall from 2 Samuel 6 that the initial attempt to transfer the Ark to Jerusalem from Beit Shemesh met with catastrophic failure when God \u201cstruck [Uzzah] down in the spot\u201d (7) for his \u201cindiscretion\u201d of reaching out to prevent the Ark from sliding off the wagon in which it was being transported. In the current chapter, David makes a veiled reference to that event saying to the Levites: \u201cBecause you were not there the first time, the L<\/span>ORD<\/span> our God burst out against us, for we did not show due regard for Him\u201d (13). As Radak explained:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

You were not among us previously when we bore it from the home of Aminadab; therefore, \u201cthe Lord our God burst out against us for we did not show due regard for Him\u201d because the divine dictate was\u2014as written in the Torah\u2014that the Levites should bear it upon their shoulders (cf. Numbers 7:9).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Two linguistic features of this verse are worth noting. One is the use of \u201cburst out\u201d (<\/span>paratz<\/span><\/em>), which resonates with two earlier uses of the same verb. Most immediate is its use in 2 Samuel 6:8: \u201cDavid was distressed because the L<\/span>ORD<\/span> had inflicted a breach (<\/span>paratz<\/span><\/em>) upon Uzzah; and that place was named Peretz-Uzzah, as it is still called.\u201d It is also reminiscent of the warning Moses issued to Israel not to ascend Mount Sinai \u201clest the Lord burst our against them\u201d (Exodus 19: 22,24), which implies that any trespass against the divine will evoke a \u201cburst\u201d of righteous indignation.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\" \u2026 and Michal, Saul's daughter, looked out the window and saw King David \u2026\"<\/em>
\r\n(First Chronicles 15:29)<\/p>\r\n

1. Michal, aged 18; for David, a minstrel at the court of King Saul, her father<\/strong>
\r\nWill David ever love me? Here at court,
\r\nHe plays his harp and lyre, plucking their strings
\r\nIn ecstasy and passion as he sings
\r\nOf prophets, priests and holy men who taught
\r\nThat we must build our God a sacred fort,
\r\nA lofty bastion built of angel-wings
\r\nProtecting all God\u2019s people and their kings,
\r\nA shrine of pious deeds and pious thought.<\/p>\r\n

Why can\u2019t he sing of me? God\u2019s prophets preach
\r\nA husband\u2019s tender love reflects God\u2019s care
\r\nFor His beloved, Israel, and her life;
\r\nWhy can\u2019t the austere psalms of David teach
\r\nIt is no shame, no sin, no vice to hear
\r\nA shepherd takes a princess as his wife.<\/p>\r\n


\r\n2. Michal, aged 38; for David, her husband<\/strong>
\r\nDoes David love me? At my father\u2019s court,
\r\nWe all loved him: my father used to bring
\r\nGoliath\u2019s sword for him to wield; each spring
\r\nMy brother shielded him in wars they fought;
\r\nMy sisters listened to the tales he taught
\r\nAnd clapped their hands when he agreed to sing;
\r\nAnd I \u2014 I gave myself, and everything
\r\nA woman gives, except the son I sought.<\/p>\r\n

Without his love, my life is but a beach
\r\nWithout its waves, without its sand, as bare
\r\nAs boulders scraped and carved by an ocean\u2019s knife;
\r\nWithout his love, my life's a tasteless peach,
\r\nA grape without its juice, a shapeless pear;
\r\nWithout his love, what meaning has my life?<\/p>\r\n


\r\n3. Michal, aged 58; for David, the king of Israel<\/strong>
\r\nDid David ever love me? Here at court,
\r\nI watch each infant prince and princess cling
\r\nAnd suck their mother\u2019s breasts as mothers sing
\r\nAbout the wars our royal husband fought.
\r\nThe older children, boys and girls, are taught
\r\nOur people\u2019s laws and customs by the king,
\r\nWho kisses each, then gives each one a ring
\r\nAnd coats of many colors that he brought.<\/p>\r\n

I cling to my window-sill, out of reach,
\r\nAnd hide amidst the shadows from the glare
\r\nOf David\u2019s children\u2019s light, their sun, their life;
\r\nReciting psalms, I turn to God, beseech
\r\nHis help and spend my days in silent prayer;
\r\nHow bleak the nights of David\u2019s childless wife.<\/p>","post_main_content_image":{"id":59968,"alt":"","title":"2sam6-michal-watching-david-from-the-window-by-james-tissot-1898","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2sam6-michal-watching-david-from-the-window-by-james-tissot-1898.jpg","width":781,"height":600,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2sam6-michal-watching-david-from-the-window-by-james-tissot-1898-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2sam6-michal-watching-david-from-the-window-by-james-tissot-1898-300x230.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":230,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2sam6-michal-watching-david-from-the-window-by-james-tissot-1898-768x590.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":590,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2sam6-michal-watching-david-from-the-window-by-james-tissot-1898.jpg","large-width":781,"large-height":600,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2sam6-michal-watching-david-from-the-window-by-james-tissot-1898.jpg","1536x1536-width":781,"1536x1536-height":600,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2sam6-michal-watching-david-from-the-window-by-james-tissot-1898.jpg","2048x2048-width":781,"2048x2048-height":600,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2sam6-michal-watching-david-from-the-window-by-james-tissot-1898.jpg","post_full_size-width":781,"post_full_size-height":600,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2sam6-michal-watching-david-from-the-window-by-james-tissot-1898-547x420.jpg","home_baner-width":547,"home_baner-height":420}},"post_main_content_embedded_video":"","post_main_content_video_duration":"","post_main_content_show_fb_comments":"1","post_main_content_credit_media":"","tile_top_caption":"929 Poetry Corner","tile_main_caption":"Saul's Daughter","tile_main_caption_size":"1","tile_sub_caption":"Will David ever love me?

Though the language here is taken directly from 2 Samuel 6, the clash between David and Michal with its explosive dialogue is erased. The Chronicler evinces little interest in personal relationships.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

  1. Comp lit<\/em>. The parallel to the second half of the chapter (from verse 25 to 16:3) can be found in 2 Sam 6:12-23. Compare and see for yourself the interesting differences.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  2. Looking out for Number 1?<\/em> Even as David is taking care of himself - \u201cHe had houses made for himself in the City of David\u201d - he doesn\u2019t forget God: \u201che prepared a place for the Ark of God, and pitched a tent for it\u201d (verse 1).<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  3. Toning down? Balancing? Correcting?<\/em> How is David portrayed in Samuel as opposed to here in Chronicles? In Samuel, \u201cDavid whirled with all his might before the LORD;\u201d in Chronicles, he was \u201cwrapped in robes of fine linen.\u201d In Samuel, Michal sees David \u201cleaping and whirling before the LORD;\u201d In Chronicles, he was \u201cleaping and dancing.\u201d What is the difference between the two pictures, if any?
