11 Saul sent messengers to David`s house, to watch him, and to kill him in the morning: and Michal, David`s wife, told him, saying, If you don`t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be slain.
12 So Michal let David down through the window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
13 Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats` [hair] at the head of it, and covered it with the clothes.
14 When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
15 Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.
16 When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats` [hair] at the head of it.
17 Saul said to Michal, Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he is escaped? Michal answered Saul, He said to me, Let me go; why should I kill you?
