12. So Michal lowered David through a window. He took off and ran, and he got away.
13. Then Michal took the household’s divine image and laid it in the bed, putting some goat’s hair on its head and covering it with clothes.
14. Saul sent messengers to arrest David, but she said, "He’s sick."
15. Saul sent the messengers back to check on David for themselves. "Bring him to me on his bed," he ordered, "so he can be executed."
16. When the messengers arrived, they found the idol in the bed with the goat’s hair on its head.
17. Saul said to Michal, "Why could you betray me like this, letting my enemy go so that now he has escaped?"Michal said to Saul, "David told me, ‘Help me get away or I’ll kill you!’"
18. So David fled and escaped. When he reached Samuel at Ramah, he reported to him everything Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to stay in the camps.
