Palti
Palti was a man who had it all. He was handsome, wealthy, and from a good family. He was also married to the beautiful Michal, daughter of King Saul. But then, David came along.
David was a young shepherd boy who had captured Michal's heart. She helped him escape from Saul, and in return, David promised to marry her. Saul was furious, and he gave Michal to Palti as a wife.
Palti was heartbroken, but he knew that he had to obey Saul. He and Michal lived together for a time, but they never consummated their marriage. Palti kept a sword between them while they slept, as a reminder of the vow he had made to David.
One day, David became king of Judah. He demanded that Michal be returned to him as his wife. Abner, Saul's general, brought Michal to David. Palti followed them weeping, but Abner told him to go back.
Palti went back to his home in Gallim. He never remarried, and he died a few years later.
Palti's story is a reminder that love can be a powerful force. It can drive us to do things that we would never normally do
