Michal Scolds David

²⁰ David went back to bless his house, but Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. She said, “The king of Israel did not honor himself today! You took off your clothes in front of your servants’ girls. You were like a fool who takes off his clothes without shame!”

²¹ Then David said to Michal, “The Lord chose me, not your father or anyone from his family. The Lord chose me to be leader of his people, the Israelites. So I will continue dancing and celebrating in front of the Lord. ²² I might do things that are even more embarrassing! Maybe you will not respect me, but the girls you are talking about are proud of me!”

²³ Saul’s daughter Michal never had a child. She died without having any children.
