Michal - Her Legacy In Scripture

Michal - Her Legacy In Scripture

Read 1 Samuel 18:20 – 27; 19:11 – 17.

1. How would you describe Michal in these passages?

Read 1 Samuel 25:43 – 44 and 2 Samuel 3:14 – 16.

2. After Michal helped David escape, she didn’t see him for more than nine years. How do you think these events in the intervening years affected her? How would they have affected you?

Read 2 Samuel 6:12 – 23.

3. Why do you think Michal responded to this scene of worship as she did? Why do you suppose she was in her room watching from the window instead of in the crowd participating?

4. What is your biggest barrier to true worship? What could bring that barrier down so that you are a participant rather than a spectator?

5. What was David trying to tell Michal in 2 Samuel 6:21 – 22?

6. Think about your own experience of suffering — perhaps even victimization. How have you responded? Has suffering tended to make you tough and bitter? Shattered and helpless? Strong and full of faith? Why?
