2 Samuel6:23
23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child until the day of her death .
Not because of David's words to her, which have nothing in them to this purpose; but because of her proud, and petulant, and ungodly speech and carriage to David, which God justly punished with sterility.
To wit, by David, and after this time, which these words evidently respect. Which was true, although those five Children ascribed to Michal, 2 Sam. 21. 8. were hers by Birth, and not by Adoption onely.
i. e. Never: for if she ever had any, it must be before her death. Compare 1 Sam. 15. 35. Matth. 1. 25.
