Thou shalt:
"And Judahª spakeª ° unto¹ him, saying,ª ° The manª did solemnly² ° protestª ° unto us, saying,ª ° Ye shall not¹ seeª ° my face,ª exceptª your brotherª [be] with¹ you." {Gen 43:3} + "And thou saidstª ° unto¹ thy servants,ª Exceptª ¹ your youngestª brotherª come downª ° with¹ you, ye shall seeª ² ° my faceª no¹ more.ª ² °°" {Gen 44:23} + "And we said,ª ° We cannotª °¹ go down:ª ° if¹ our youngestª brotherª beª with¹ us, then will we go down:ª ° for¹ we mayª ° not¹ seeª ° the man'sª face,ª exceptª our youngestª brotherª [be] with¹ us." {Gen 44:26}

except:
As Michal was not divorced, but violently separated from David, he had a legal right to demand her, and was justified in receiving her again. It is probable, also, that her marriage with Phaltiel was a force upon her inclinations; and whatever affections he might have for her, it was highly criminal for him to take another man's wife. David required Michal probably both out of affection for her, and to strengthen his interest, by asserting his affinity with the house of Saul.

Michal:
"So Abnerª cameª ° to¹ Davidª to Hebron,ª and twentyª men² ¹ with¹ him. And Davidª madeª ° Abnerª and the men² ¹ that¹ [were] with¹ him a feast.ª ... When Joabª and all¹ the hostª that¹ [was] with¹ him were come,ª ° they toldª ° Joab,ª saying,ª ° Abnerª the sonª of Nerª cameª ° to¹ the king,ª and he hath sent him away,ª ° and he is gone² °¹ in peace.ª" {2Sm 3:20-23} + "And Michalª Saul'sª daughterª lovedª °¹ David:ª and they toldª ° Saul,ª and the thingª pleasedª ª ° him. ... And Saulª sawª ° and knewª ° that¹ the LORDª [was] with¹ David,ª and [that] Michalª Saul'sª daughterª lovedª ° him." {1Sm 18:20-28} + "Saulª also sentª ° messengersª unto¹ David'sª house,ª to watchª ° him, and to slayª ° him in the morning:ª and Michalª David'sª wifeª toldª ° him, saying,ª ° If¹ thou saveª ° not¹ ¹ thy lifeª to night,ª to morrowª thou¹ shalt be slain.ª ° ... And Saulª saidª ° unto¹ Michal,ª Why¹ hast thou deceived¹ me so,² °¹ and sent awayª °¹ mine enemy,ª ° that he is escaped?ª ° And Michalª answeredª °¹ Saul,ª He¹ saidª ° unto¹ me, Let me go;ª ° why¹ should I killª ° thee?" {1Sm 19:11-17} + "And it came to pass,¹ [as] the arkª of the covenantª of the LORDª cameª ° to¹ the cityª of David,ª that Michalª the daughterª of Saulª looking outª ° at¹ a windowª sawª °¹ kingª Davidª dancingª ° and playing:ª ° and she despisedª ° him in her heart.ª" {1Ch 15:29}
