Paltiel


Also called Palti.

When David marries Abigail and Ahinoam of Jezreel, Saul gives Michal to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim. (1 Samuel 25:39-44)

As civil war split up Israel and Judah between the house of Saul and the house of David, Ish-bosheth's commander Abner came to David to bring all Israel to him. David accepted gladly but set a condition that he first bring Michal before seeing his face. David also sent messengers to Ish-bosheth for Michal. Ish-bosheth sent and took her from her husband Paltiel the son of Laish. (2 Samuel 3:1-16)
