Strong's Lexicon Mikal: Michal Original Word: מִיכָל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew 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 Bible/Old Testament. Usage: Michal is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, primarily known as the daughter of King Saul and the first wife of David, who later became king of Israel. Her name reflects a rhetorical question, "Who is like God?" which is a common theme in Hebrew names, emphasizing the uniqueness and incomparability of God. Cultural and Historical Background: Michal lived during the time of the United Monarchy in Israel, a period marked by the transition from tribal confederation to a centralized monarchy. As the daughter of Saul, the first king of Israel, and the wife of David, Michal's life was intertwined with significant political and religious developments. Her marriage to David was initially a political alliance, but it also reflects the personal and familial dynamics of the time. Michal's account provides insight into the roles and challenges faced by women in ancient Israelite society, particularly those in royal households.
