6. Saul heeded Jonathan and swore, As the Lord lives, David shall not be slain.
7. So Jonathan called David and told him all these things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as in times past.
8. Then there was war again, and David went out and fought with the Philistines, and made a great slaughter among them and they fled before him.
9. Then an evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing [the lyre] with his hand.
10. Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away, so that Saul struck the spear into the wall. Then David fled and escaped that night.
11. Saul sent messengers that night to David's house to watch him, that he might kill him in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, told him, If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.
12. So Michal let David down through the window, and he fled and escaped.
13. And Michal took the teraph (household good luck image) and laid it in the bed, put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with a bedspread.
