Life as a royal woman in the days of the kings was not an easy life. Men used women as political pawns to show power and to get what they wanted. 2 Samuel chapter 3 tells the stories of Rizpah and Michal caught up in political games.
Rizpah was only a concubine, not receiving the respect that came with being an official wife. Then her reputation was questioned due to a power play between Ishbosheth and Abner.
Michal got passed from one husband to the next with no regard to her feelings. She was given to David. She was taken from David. She was given to Palti. She was taken from Palti. She was given to David again. What a tangled mess!
