11
Then in that night Saul sent men to David's house to keep watch on him so as to put him to death in the morning: and David's wife Michal said to him, If you do not go away to a safe place tonight you will be put to death in the morning.
12
So Michal let David down through the window, and he went in flight and got away.
13
Then Michal took the image and put it in the bed, with a cushion of goat's hair at its head, and she put clothing over it.
14
And when Saul sent men to take David, she said, He is ill.
15
And Saul sent his men to see David, saying, Do not come back without him, take him in his bed, so that I may put him to death.
16
And when the men came in, there was the image in the bed, with the cushion of goat's hair at its head
17
And Saul said to Michal, why have you been false to me, letting my hater go and get safely away? And in answer Michal said to Saul, He said to me, Let me go, or I will put you to death.
18
So David went in flight and got away and came to Ramah, to Samuel, and gave him an account of all Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and were living in Naioth.
19
And word was given to Saul that David was at Naioth in Ramah.
20
And Saul sent men to take David; and when they saw the band of prophets at work, with Samuel in his place at their head, the spirit of God came on Saul's men, and they became like prophets.
21
And Saul, having news of this, sent other men, who in the same way became like prophets. And a third time Saul sent men, and they like the others became like prophets.
