* And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul , as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand : and David played with his hand . * And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin ; but he slipped away out of Saul 's presence , and he smote the javelin into the wall : and David fled , and escaped that night . * Saul also sent messengers unto David 's house , to watch him , and to slay him in the morning : and Michal David 's wife told him , saying , If thou save not thy life to night , to morrow thou shalt be slain . * So Michal let David down through a window : and he went , and fled , and escaped . * And Michal took an image , and laid it in the bed , and put a pillow of goats ' hair for his bolster , and covered it with a cloth . * And when Saul sent messengers to take David , she said , He is sick . * And Saul sent the messengers again to see David , saying , Bring him up to me in the bed , that I may slay him . * And when the messengers were come in , behold , there was an image in the bed , with a pillow of goats ' hair for his bolster . * And Saul said unto Michal , Why hast thou deceived me so , and sent away mine enemy , that he is escaped ? And Michal answered Saul , He said unto me , Let me go ; why should I kill thee ?
