So Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death — The narrative concludes with Michal's barrenness. The consequence of her despising David's covenant joy is the absence of heirs. Michal's childlessness represents judgment: she who rejected covenant celebration will not continue David's line. Yet Michal represents the old Saulide order, which David's covenant theology supersedes.
