And the evilspirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and Davidplayed with his hand.
10
And Saulsought to smiteDavid even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away out of Saul'spresence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and Davidfled , and escaped that night.
11
Saul also sentmessengers unto David'shouse, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and MichalDavid'swifetold him, saying , If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain .
12
So MichalletDaviddown through a window: and he went , and fled , and escaped .
13
And Michaltook an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.
14
And when Saulsentmessengers to takeDavid, she said , He is sick .
15
And Saulsent the messengers again to seeDavid,saying , Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
16
And when the messengers were come in , behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster.
17
And Saulsaid unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so , and sent away mine enemy , that he is escaped ? And MichalansweredSaul, He said unto me, Let me go ; why should I kill thee?
18
So Davidfled , and escaped , and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuelwent and dwelt in Naioth.
