Reading for May 6th

Read 2 Samuel 6.12-23
In verse 14: A linen ephod was an apron typically worn by priests (1 Sam 2.18).
In verse 20: Michal accuses David of fraternizing with the lowest element of society, thus implying that he is not dignified enough to be king.
In verses 21-22: David replies that the Lord made him king in place of her father, Saul.
In verse 23: Michal had no children either because the Lord prevented it or because David had no relations with her.
Her children would have been Saul's heir and therefore a threat to David's rule.
