Michal despises him from the Merarites The Merarites were one of the three main divisions of the Levites, descended from Merari, the son of Levi. In the Hebrew context, the name "Merari" is associated with bitterness or strength, reflecting perhaps the burdens they carried in their service. Historically, the Merarites were responsible for the care of the frames of the tabernacle, its crossbars, posts, and bases (Numbers 3:36-37). This highlights their role in providing structural support, both physically and spiritually, to the worship practices of Israel. Their inclusion here signifies the importance of every Levite family in the sacred task of moving the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, emphasizing unity and shared responsibility in worship.
