In II Samuel 6:23 the Bible says that
Michal, Saul’s daughter and David’s wife, had no children. In II Samuel
21:8 it says that she had five sons. Please explain.
Answer
Read II Samuel 21:8 carefully Merab was the wife of
Adriel and Michal’s sister. Michal adopted her five sons and brought up
the boys under her care. Notice carefully what Verse 8 says, "whom she (Michal)
brought up (i.e. raised up) for Adriel". No contradiction at all!
