Why Michal (King David"s Wife) Despised Him in the Bible?
In 1 Samuel 18:22-27, the Bible declares that the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David; and Michal (King David"s wife which was Saul"s daughter was looking out a window; when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, she despised him in her heart. When David returned home, Michal said unto him, you were disrobing as any vulgar fellow would.
This Michal which insulted and dishonored King David and mocked him, was the one which has got the cruelest and antihuman price for a bride throughout the history of mankind?
In order to marry this Michal, David killed two hundred Philistines, cut their foreskins and brought their foreskins as the price of the bride to marry Michal. Then, she insulted and dishonored King David!

Why Michal (King David"s Wife) Despised Him in the Quran?
There is no such story in the Noble Quran.
However, King David is mentioned many times in the Noble Quran as for example:
In the verse 38:17, Allah, exalted is He says:
Bear O Muhammad with what they say in your rejection, and remember Our bondman David; He says: mention to them the event of Our slave David, the one of fortitude, the lord of might who had strength for our worship.
He was obedient, always engaged in the worship of Allah.
Lo! He was ever turning in repentance towards Allah,
Indeed he was a penitent [soul]; always returning to what pleases Allah.
According to the Noble Quran, it is a very big unforgiving sin to say or to believe in anything that dishonors any Prophet.
King David was a great Prophet who is very well respected and beloved.
