11And Saul sendeth messengers unto the house of David to watch him, and to put him to death in the morning; and Michal his wife declareth to David, saying, `If thou art not delivering thy life to-night -- tomorrow thou art put to death.`
12And Michal causeth David to go down through the window, and he goeth on, and fleeth, and escapeth;
13and Michal taketh the teraphim, and layeth on the bed, and the mattress of goats` [hair] she hath put [for] his pillows, and covereth with a garment.
14And Saul sendeth messengers to take David, and she saith, `He [is] sick.`
15And Saul sendeth the messengers to see David, saying, `Bring him up in the bed unto me,` -- to put him to death.
16And the messengers come in, and lo, the teraphim [are] on the bed, and the mattress of goats` [hair], [for] his pillows.
17And Saul saith unto Michal, `Why thus hast thou deceived me -- that thou dost send away mine enemy, and he is escaped?` and Michal saith unto Saul, `He said unto me, Send me away: why do I put thee to death?`
