The fifth, Shephatiah of Abital: the sixth, Ithream by Eglah his wife.
Eglah his wife - supposed to be another name of Michal, who, though she had no son after her mockery of David for dancing before the ark, might have had one previous to that time. She has the title of wife appended to her name, because she was his proper wife; and the mention of her name last probably arose from the circumstance that, having been withdrawn from David and married to another husband, but afterward restored, she had in reality become the last of his wives.
