Michal's Five Sons

By: Dr. Max D. Younce

 

0061

 

 Question 

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!
