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?`
18And David hath fled, and is escaped, and cometh in unto Samuel to Ramath, and declareth to him all that Saul hath done to him, and he goeth, he and Samuel, and they dwell in Naioth.
