"Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death." (2 Samuel 6:23)
"But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to 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 21:8 --- Masoretic)
Michal herself didn't have any sons through birth, but she raised up the 5 sons birthed by her sister Merab. Some ancient Syriac manuscripts have Merab's name in the place of Michal in 2 Samuel 21:8.
"The king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite." (2 Samuel 21:8 --- Syriac)
