14
And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, "He is sick."
15
Then Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him."
16
And when the messengers came in, behold,
1the image 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 has escaped?" And Michal answered Saul, "He said to me, 'Let me go.
2Why should I kill you?'"
18
Now David fled and escaped, and he came to Samuel at
3Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and lived at Naioth.
19
And it was told Saul, "Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah."
20
Then Saul sent messengers to take David, and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them,
4the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul,
5and they also prophesied.
21
When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers,
6and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time,
7and they also prophesied.
22
Then he himself went to Ramah and came to the great well that is in Secu. And he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Behold, they are at Naioth in
8Ramah."
23
And he went there to Naioth in Ramah.
9And the Spirit of God came upon him also, and as he went he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24
10And he too stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel and lay naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said,
11"Is Saul also among the prophets?"
