Is 2 Samuel 6:21-23 foreshadowing Jesus King of Israel and Mary Ever Virgin in verse 23?

2 Samuel 6:16-23
21 And David said to Michol: Before the Lord, who chose me rather than thy father, and than all his house, and commanded me to be ruler over the people of the Lord in Israel,
22 I will both play and make myself meaner than I have done: and I will be little in my own eyes: and with the handmaid of whom thou speakest, I shall appear more glorious.
23 Therefore Michol the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
 
Michol represents Israel who was desolate. Israel (and the law) were incapable of bearing ‘living’ children. Israel despised her husband.

David’s nakedness and making himself even ‘meaner’ or more disgusting, represents Jesus bearing the sins of the world.

The handmaid, to whom he appears even mo re glorious is the church.
