Verse 23 is found in chapter 6 of 2 Samuel. Michal despises inwardly the way David celebrated before the Lord and confronts him after the ceremony. David responds by defending his decision to humble himself before God and declares that he will continue celebrating before him. The contrast between the two characters reveals different attitudes toward kingship: Michal appears to evaluate conduct according to courtly honor, while David understands his position through dependence on the Lord. Michal’s final barrenness closes the scene on a tragic note.
