Michael (which means "Who is like God?") was:

1. The title given to one of the chief angels (that is, the archangel) (Daniel 10:13,21 12:1). He had special charge of Israel as a nation. He disputed with Satan (Jude 1:9) about the body of Moses. He is also represented as warning against "that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world" (Revelation 12:7-9).

2. The father of Sethur, the spy selected to represent Asher (Numbers 13:13).

3. A chief of the tribe of Issachar (1 Chronicles 7:3).

4. A Benjamite (1 Chronicles 8:16).

5. A chief Gadite in Bashan (1 Chronicles 5:13).

6. A Manassite, "a captain of thousands" who joined David at Ziklag (1 Chronicles 12:20).

7. A Gershonite Levite (1 Chronicles 6:40).

8. The father of Omri (1 Chronicles 27:18).

9. One of the sons of king Jehoshaphat (2 Chronicles 21:2,4). He was murdered by his brother Jehoram.

There was also a female version of this name (Michal), which was the name of Saul's younger daughter by Ahinoam (1 Samuel 14:49,50). "Attracted by the graces of his person and the gallantry of his conduct, she fell in love with David and became his wife" (1 Samuel 18:20-28). She showed her affection for him by promoting his escape to Naioth when Saul sought his life (1 Samuel 19:12-17) After this she did not see David for many years. Meanwhile she was given in marriage to another man, Phalti or Phaltiel of Gallim (1 Samuel 25:44) but David afterwards formally reclaimed her as his lawful wife (2 Samuel 3:13-16). The relation between her and David soon after this was altered. They became alienated from each other. This happened on that memorable day when the ark was brought up in great triumph from its temporary resting-place to the Holy City. In David's conduct on that occasion she saw nothing but a needless humiliation of the royal dignity (1 Chronicles 15:29). She remained childless, and thus the races of David and Saul were not mixed.
