SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:22
Y aún me haré más vil que esta vez, y seré bajo a mis propios ojos; y delante de las criadas que dijiste, delante de ellas seré honrado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 6:22
Verse 22. I will yet be more vile] The plain meaning of these words appears to be this: "I am not ashamed of humbling myself before that God who rejected thy father because of his obstinacy and pride, and chose me in his stead to rule his people; and even those maid-servants, when they come to know the motive of my conduct, shall acknowledge its propriety, and treat me with additional respect; and as for thee, thou shalt find that thy conduct is as little pleasing to God as it is to me." Then it is said, Michal had no child till the day of her death: probably David never more took her to his bed; or God, in his providence, might have subjected her to barrenness which in Palestine was considered both a misfortune and a reproach. Michal formed her judgment without reason, and meddled with that which she did not understand. We should be careful how we attribute actions, the reasons of which we cannot comprehend, to motives which may appear to us unjustifiable or absurd. Rash judgments are doubly pernicious; they hurt those who form them, and those of whom they are formed.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. And I will yet be more vile than thus , etc.] If this is to be vile, I will endeavour to be viler still; if to dance before the ark, and sing the praises of God, be reckoned a lessening of me, I will more and more be found in doing such things, or what is similar to them: and will be base in mine own sight : humble himself, and lie low in his own eyes, admiring the grace and goodness of God to him, thinking he could never condescend too low to exalt the Lord, and magnify the riches of his goodness: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour ; who the more humble I am, and the more I condescend, by laying aside all state in acts of devotion and religion, the more shall I be honoured and spoken well of by them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20-23 - David returned to bless his household, to pray with them, and for them and to offer up family thanksgiving for this national mercy. It is angels' work to worship God, surely that cannot lower the greatest of men. But even the palaces of princes are not free from family troubles Exercises of religion appear mean in the eyes of those who have littl or no religion themselves. If we can approve ourselves to God in what we do in religion, and do it as before the Lord, we need not hee reproach. Piety will have its praise: let us not be indifferent in it nor afraid or ashamed to own it. David was contented to justif himself, and he did not further reprove or blame Michal's insolence but God punished her. Those that honour God, he will honour; but thos that despise him, and his servants and service, shall be lightl esteemed __________________________________________________________________
