Then David returned to bless his household. Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”

EXPLANATION

Verse 20. Fellows. Septuagint “dancers.” Michol exaggerates, as David had been guilty of no indiscretion, verse 14. Calmet.—Saint Gregory (Mor. xxvii. 27,) styles her “insane.” Yet Abulensis does not sufficiently approve of David’s conduct. Menochius.
