1 Samuel 19:11-15 ▼

11 Saul sent messengers to David's house to guard it and to kill him in the morning. Then David's wife Michal told him, |If you do not save yourself tonight, tomorrow you will be dead!|

12 So Michal lowered David through the window, and he ran away and escaped.

13 Then Michal took a household idol and put it on the bed. She put a quilt made of goat's hair over its head and then covered the idol with a garment.

14 When Saul sent messengers to arrest David, she said, |He's sick.|

15 Then Saul sent the messengers back to see David, saying, |Bring him up to me on his bed so I can kill him.|
