- Michal, service number ??, was a UNSC A.I. assigned to Silve and Darcy.
- Michal was the youngest daughter of King Saul, and the first wife of King David. When David refused her older sister Merab, Michal let it be known that she loved the young warrior who had of late been outperforming her father in battle. Merab was given to Adriel the Meholathite, instead, to whom she bore five sons. When David asked about the dowry for Michal, Saul deviously asked for one hundred foreskins from Philistine victims. Fearlessly, David defied the odds and killed two hundred enemy soldiers, bringing the foreskins as proof of his sincerity. After David had taken his bride, Saul attempted to get through to David by way of his daughter. He sent assasins to kill him at his residence, but she helped her husband escape, lying when asked, leaving the impression that David had threatened her. When Saul became envious of David to the point of sending men to kill him, Michal helped David run away while she set up an image in his bed, making it look like he was ill and sleeping. When Saul's messengers found the image, Saul asked why his daughter deceived him, and Michal said that David threatened to kill her unless she let him go. As the feud with the king continued, David acquired more wives, such as Abigail, wife of Nabal. During that campaign, Saul worked behind the scenes, annulling the marriage of David and Michal and giving her to Palti the son of Laish, who was from Gallim. After Saul had died, and David was fighting Saul's son Ishbosheth for control of the kingdom, David demanded that Michal be returned to him. Against the pleas of her second husband, Michal returned to the house of David, now king of Israel. However, she no longer loved David. She showed her disdain for him when he led a processional when the ark of the covenant was brought into Jerusalem. She disapproved of such unbecoming behavior—dancing in the lowly garb of a servant—and let him know it. As a result, she was banned from his harem, never to have any children by him again. However, as a move perhaps to bring embarrassment to David, Michal apparently adopted her sister Merab's sons, raising them for her husband Adriel. In doing this, she was potentially providing a future king from her father's house (since she had none of her own). When the time came, years later, she would betray her nephews, turning them over to be executed by the Gibeonites as payment for her father's crimes.
- Their story is recorded in the Book of Samuel. It is recorded that she chose the welfare of David over the wishes of her father. When Saul's messengers are searching for David in order to kill him, Michal secretly sends him away while pretending he is ill and laid up in bed. (1 Samuel 19:11-17) Whilst David is hiding for his life, Saul gave Michal as a wife to Palti, son of Laish, and David took several other wives, including Abigail. (1 Samuel 25) Later when David became king of Judah and Ish-bosheth Michal's brother (and Saul's son) was king of Israel, David demanded her return to him, in return for peace between them. This Ish-bosheth did, despite the public protests of Palti. These events have raised moral issues within Judaism, especially in the context of the prohibition in Deuteronomy 24:1-4. On the one hand, some argue that it is prohibited to re-establish a marriage with a previous spouse who has subsequently remarried. On the other hand, other commentators explain that David had not divorced Michal at this point in time, but rather Saul acted to break their marriage by marrying her off to another without David's consent. On that view, they were not technically divorced as David had not issued a writ of divorcement according to biblical law. After Michal was back with David, she criticized David because he danced, partially unclothed, as he brought the Ark of the Covenant to the newly-captured Jerusalem in a religious procession. (2 Samuel 6:14-22) Michal died childless, which 2 Samuel 6:23 suggests was a punishment for her criticism, though whether the punishment was from God or from David is not clear. Steven McKenzie, author of King David: A Biography, suggests that David prevented Michal and her other surviving relatives, such as Meribaal, from having children in order to extinguish the line of Saul and deny potential rivals to the throne.
