Two men named Paltiel appear in the Old Testament: the prince of the tribe of Issachar appointed to help divide the promised land among the tribes (Numbers 34:26), and Paltiel son of Laish, to whom King Saul gave his daughter Michal after taking her from David; when Abner later returned Michal to David, Paltiel followed her weeping until Abner ordered him home (2 Samuel 3:15-16). The two references belong to entirely different periods and are unrelated apart from the shared name, also written “Palti” in 1 Samuel 25:44.
