14. When Saul sent agents to seize David, Michal said, “He’s sick.”
15. Saul sent the agents back to see David and said, “Bring him on his bed so I can kill him.”
16. When the messengers arrived, to their surprise, the household idol was on the bed with some goat hair on its head.
17. Saul asked Michal, “Why did you deceive me like this? You sent my enemy away, and he has escaped! ”She answered him, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you? ’ ”
18. So David fled and escaped and went to Samuel at Ramah and told him everything Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel left and stayed at Naioth.
