| I Samuel 25:44
| But Saul gave Michol, his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti, the son of Lais, who was of Gallim.
| Phalti, or Phaltiel, 2 Kings 3:15. Saul violated all laws by so doing, and David took her back when he came to the throne, which he could not have done if he had given her a bill of divorce, Deuteronomy 24:4. (Calmet) --- Michol was not blameless in living thus with another man. (Menochius) --- The Rabbins say that a sword hindered Phalti from approaching her. (Horn in Sulp.) --- Gallim, a city of Benjamin, Isaias 10:30. (Calmet)
