2 Samuel3:14
14 And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth Sauls son , saying, Deliver me my wife Michal , which I espoused to me for an hundred fore-skins of the Philistines.
Whose consent was necessary, both to take her away from her present Husband, and to persuade her to return to David. Hereby also David opened to him also a door of hope for his Reconciliation, lest being desperate he should hinder Abner in his present design.
Who, though she was taken from me by force, and constrained to marry another, 1 Sam. 25. 44. yet is indeed my rightful Wife. Her David demands, partly, for the affection he formerly had, and still retained to her: partly, to deliver her from the sin and reproach of Adultery with another Man, who was not in truth and justice her Husband, though he was so called and accounted: and partly, upon a politick consideration, that she might strengthen his Right and Title to the Kingdom.
