Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
By this time David had probably written some of the psalms that are now part of the biblical book of Psalms (cf. 2 Samuel 23:1). The introductions and titles to these psalms indicate that a number of them were written during the time of his flight from Saul. These, along with other psalms he wrote over a long and eventful career, give David’s personal views of events that the writer of 1 and 2 Samuel describes in narrative form.
