2 Samuel 6:22

2 Samuel 6:22

20 ^aThen David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious was the king of Israel today, ^buncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the ^cbase fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”

21 So David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, ^awho chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the ^bpeople of the Lord, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the Lord.

22 And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor.”

23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no children ^ato the day of her death.

John Wesley's Notes

<< 2 Samuel 6:21

2 Samuel 6:23 >>

More vile than thus - The more we are vilified for well doing, the more resolute therein we should be, binding our religion the closer to us, for the endeavours of Satan's agents to shame us out of it. Be base - I will always be ready to abase myself before God, and think nothing to mean to stoop to for his honour. Be had in honour - So far will they be from despising me on this account, that they will honour me the more.
