*
That night Saul sent messengers to David '
s house to watch him ,
that he might kill him in the morning .
But Michal ,
David '
s wife ,
told him , "
If you do not save your life tonight ,
tomorrow you will be killed ."
*
So Michal let David down through the window ;
and he fled away and escaped .
*
Michal took an image and laid it on the bed and put a pillow of goats '
hair at its head ,
and covered it with the clothes .
*
And when Saul sent messengers to take David ,
she said , "
He is sick ."
*
Then Saul sent the messengers to see David ,
saying , "
Bring him up to me in the bed ,
that I may kill him ."
*
And when the messengers came in ,
behold ,
the image was in the bed ,
with the pillow of goats '
hair at its head .
*
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 ;
why should I kill you ?'"
