11. And Saul sent messengers to 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 wilt be put to death.
12. And Michal let David down through a window; and he went, and fled and escaped.
13. And Michal took the image, and laid it in the bed, and put the net of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the coverlet.
14. And Saul sent messengers to take David, and she said, He is sick.
15. And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may put him to death.
16. And the messengers came in, and behold, the image was in the bed, and the net of goats' hair at its head.
17. Then Saul said to Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal said to Saul, He said to me, Let me go; why should I slay thee?
18. And David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
19. And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth by Ramah.
20. Then Saul sent messengers to take David; and they saw a company of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as president over them; and the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
