- A man living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Sa.25.44;
- referred to as Laish לוּשׁ, or Laish לַיִשׁ;
- father of Palti פַּלְטִי.
Laish was the father of Palti (or 'Paltiel'), a man from Gallim (1Sa.25.44). King Saul gave his daughter Michal, who was previously married to David, to Palti as a wife (1Sa.25.44). After Saul's death, David demanded that Michal be returned to him as part of a political agreement with Abner, the commander of Saul's army (2Sa.3.12-16). Paltiel followed Michal, weeping, as she was taken back to David, until Abner ordered him to return home (2Sa.3.15-16).
