The account says that Palti "followed her weeping as far as Bahurim. Later when David became king of Judah and Ish-bosheth Saul's son (and Michal's brother) was king of Israel, David demanded her return to him, in return for peace between them. Michal was originally David's wife, but Saul gave her to Palti after she helped David escape from Saul. Palti (or Paltiel), son of Laish, who was from Gallim, was the second husband of Michal, Saul's daughter.
