1 Samuel 19:14-20 World English Bible (WEB)

14. When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”

15. Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”

16. When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head.

17. Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he is escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’”

18. Now David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth.

19. Saul was told, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”

20. Saul sent messengers to seize David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, God’s Spirit came on Saul’s messengers, and they also prophesied.
