2 SAMUEL—NOTE ON 2 Samuel 3:12 David clearly does not mind taking the Israelite kingdom from Ish-bosheth, and he stresses his closeness to Saul as Saul’s son-in-law. David states that he has legally paid the bride-price for Michal (see 1 Samuel 18:25). Apparently David never divorced Michal, even though Saul had given her to another man (1 Samuel 25:44).
