1 Samuel 19:11-18 ▼

11 Saul also sent messengers vnto Dauids house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: And Michol Dauids wyfe tolde it him, saying: If thou saue not thy selfe this night, to morowe thou shalt be slayne.

12 And so Michol let Dauid downe through a windowe: and he went and fled, and was saued.

13 And Michol toke an image, and layde it in the bed, & put a pillowe stuffed with goates heere vnder the head of it, and couered it with a cloth.

14 And when Saul sent messengers to fetche Dauid, she said, he is sicke.

15 And Saul sent the messengers againe to see Dauid, saying: Bring him to me bed and all, that I may slay him.

16 And when the messengers were come in, behold there lay an image in the bed, with a pillowe of goates heere vnder the head of it.

17 And Saul sayde vnto Michol: Why hast thou mocked me so, and sent away mine enemie, that he is escaped? Michol aunswered Saul: For he sayd vnto me, let me go, or els I will kill thee.

18 And so Dauid fled, and escaped, & came to Samuel to Rama, and tolde him all that Saul had done to him: And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
