New International Reader's Version

1 Samuel 19:16-20 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

16. But when the men entered, they found nothing but the statue in the bed. Some goat hair was at the place where David's head would have been.

17. Saul said to Michal, "Why did you trick me like this? Why did you help my enemy escape?" Michal told him, "He said to me, 'Help me get away. If you don't, I'll kill you.' "

18. After David had run away and escaped, he went to Samuel at Ramah. He told him everything Saul had done to him. Then David and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there.

19. Saul was told, "David is in Naioth at Ramah."

20. So Saul sent some men to capture him. When they got there, they saw a group of prophets who were prophesying. Samuel was standing there as their leader. Then the Spirit of God came on Saul's men. So they also began to prophesy.
