In Jewish tradition (Talmud, Sanhedrin 19b-20a), Palti is viewed as a paragon of self-restraint. The sages teach that he never consummated the marriage with Michal, placing a sword between them in bed to maintain boundaries, recognizing her valid marriage to David. His weeping is interpreted not as romantic loss, but as sorrow for losing the opportunity to perform the mitzvah of self-control.

About this data
measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated
These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.
Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.
Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
