13. Michal took the household idol and laid it on the bed, and put a quilt of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with clothes.
14. When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, "He is sick."
15. Then Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me on his bed, that I may put him to death."
16. When the messengers entered, behold, the household idol was on the bed with the quilt of goats' hair at its head.
17. So Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?" And Michal said to Saul, "He said to me, 'Let me go! Why should I put you to death?'"
18. Now David fled and escaped and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.
19. It was told Saul, saying, "Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah."
20. Then Saul sent messengers to take David, but when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, with Samuel standing and presiding over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul; and they also prophesied.
21. When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. So Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
22. Then he himself went to Ramah and came as far as the large well that is in Secu; and he asked and said, "Where are Samuel and David?" And someone said, "Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah."
