The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Misit autem David nuntios ad Isboseth filium Saul, dicens : Redde uxorem meam Michol, quam despondi mihi centum præputiis Philisthiim.
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν Δαυεὶδ πρὸς Μεμφιβόσθε υἱὸν Σαοὺλ ἀγγέλους λέγων Ἀπόδος μοι τὴν γυναῖκά μου τὴν Μελχόλ, ἣν ἔλαβον ἐν ἑκατὸν ἀκροβυστίαις ἀλλοφύλων.
Hebrew (WLC): וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח דָּוִד֙ מַלְאָכִ֔ים אֶל אִֽישׁ בֹּ֥שֶׁת בֶּן שָׁא֖וּל לֵאמֹ֑ר תְּנָ֤ה אֶת אִשְׁתִּי֙ אֶת מִיכַ֔ל אֲשֶׁר֙ אֵרַ֣שְׂתִּי לִ֔י בְּמֵאָ֖ה עָרְל֥וֹת פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים

Haydock's commentary

Isboseth. Thus he would screen the perfidy of Abner, (Menochius) and hinder him from using any violence. (Calmet)

The pacific king accedes immediately to the request, as he had no personal aversion to David, and saw that he was in a far more elevated condition than Phaltiel. (Haydock)

Moreover, this was no time to irritate him more, as Abner was discontented. (Menochius)
