1. 1 Samuel 25:44

   But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Palti son of Laish, who was from Gallim.

   ›Commentary on 1 Samuel 25:442 voices

   “But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish,.... Or "for Saul", &c. (i); which is a reason for his marrying again, but no reason for marrying more wives than one.

   “Phalti - Called also Phaltiel, 2Sa 3:16. Of Gallim - Probably a city or town in the tribe of Benjamin; see Isa 10:30. It is likely therefore that Saul chose this man because he was of his own tribe. In this chapter we have the account of the death of Samuel, who from his infancy had been devoted to God and the service of his people. He was born at a time in which religion was at a very low ebb in Israel, as there were but very few prophets, and no open vision - scarcely any revelation from God.

3. 2 Samuel 3:16

   Her husband followed her, weeping all the way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go back.” So he returned home.

   ›Commentary on 2 Samuel 3:162 voices

   “Weeping behind her - If genuine affection did not still subsist between David and Michal, it was a pity to have taken her from Phaltiel, who had her to wife from the conjoint authority of her father and her king. Nevertheless David had a legal right to her, as she had never been divorced, for she was taken from him by the hand of violence.

   “And her husband went with her along weeping behind her,.... Because of his great affection to her, unwilling to part with her, but forced to it at the command of the king her brother: to Bahurim; a city in the tribe of Benjamin, 2Sa 19:16; perhaps the same with Almon, Jos 21:18; these two words being of the same signification; and the Targum has it hero Almuth; so Alemeth in 1Ch 6:60. It seems to be the same Josephus (c) calls Bachures, and says it was not far from Jerusalem.
