Strong's Lexicon mikal: Michal Original Word: מִיכָל Word Origin: Derived from the root מִיכָאֵל (Mikha'el), meaning "Who is like God?" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Michal in the Septuagint or New Testament, as her account is primarily contained within the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: Michal is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, primarily known as the daughter of King Saul and the first wife of King David. Her account is significant in the narrative of David's rise to power and the complex dynamics within Saul's family. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of the individual's character or destiny. Michal, as a member of the royal family, would have been involved in the political and social intricacies of the time. Her marriage to David was initially a political alliance, but it also reveals personal and familial tensions, especially in the context of Saul's jealousy and David's ascent to the throne.
