Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 3:3. By Eglah his wide. — The Targum, Jarchi, and others, maintain that this was Michal, the daughter of Saul; but this does not well agree with 2 Samuel 6:23: Michal had no child to the day of her death. Yet she might have had a child before the time that is mentioned above.
