Challenge from Professor Peter Polite: The Bible contradicts itself. In one place Michal, Saul's daughter, has children and another she does not. Compare 2 Samuel 6:23 and 2 Samuel 21:8.

How might we best respond to this challenge?

2 Samuel 21:8 King James Version "But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite"

2 Samuel 6:23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
