Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain.1Sa 19:12
So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.1Sa 19:13
And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.1Sa 19:14
And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.1Sa 19:15
And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.1Sa 19:16
And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster.1Sa 19:17
And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?
