15. Then Saul sent the men back to see David and told them, ‘Bring him up to me in his bed so that I may kill him.’
16. But when the men entered, there was the idol in the bed, and at the head was some goats’ hair.
17. Saul said to Michal, ‘Why did you deceive me like this and send my enemy away so that he escaped?’Michal told him, ‘He said to me, “Let me get away. Why should I kill you?” ’
18. When David had fled and made his escape, he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there.
19. Word came to Saul: ‘David is in Naioth at Ramah’;
20. so he sent men to capture him. But when they saw a group of prophets prophesying, with Samuel standing there as their leader, the Spirit of God came on Saul’s men, and they also prophesied.
