Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning.
Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you don’t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
So Michal let David down through the window.
He went away, fled, and escaped.
Michal took the teraphim and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head and covered it with clothes.
When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”
Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”
