Abstract
Abstract The roles of Michal and Merab in the received tradition of the Book of Samuel are complex. This study examines the literary embeddedness of Saul’s daughter within several passages in which she appears (1Sam 18:17–19*; 1Sam 19:11–17; 2Sam 3:12–16*; 2Sam 21:8). In many cases, the names of Saul’s daughters—Michal and Merab—can be easily excised without doing significant damage to the surrounding text. This article concludes that some episodes featuring one of Saul’s daughters may originally have assumed only a single, nameless woman.
