1 Samuel 19:11-16

1 Samuel 19:11-16 MEV

Saul also sent messengers to the house of David, to watch him and to slay him in the morning. But Michal, wife of David, told him, saying, “If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be dead.” So Michal let David down through a window, and he went and fled to safety. Michal took an idol and laid it in the bed, and put a braided goat hair pillow for its head and covered it with clothes. When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.” Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.” When the messengers came in, behold, there was the idol in the bed with a goat hair pillow for its head.
