1 Samuel 19:12-18

12So MichalH4324 let DavidH1732 downH3381 through the windowH2474: and he wentH3381, and fledH1272, and escapedH4422. 13And MichalH4324 tookH3947 the teraphimH8655, and laid it in the bedH4296, and putH7760 a pillow of goats’H5795 hair at the headH4763 thereof, and coveredH3680 it with the clothesH899. 14And when SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to takeH3947 DavidH1732, she saidH559, He is sickH2470. 15And SaulH7586 sentH7971 the messengersH4397 to seeH7200 DavidH1732, sayingH559, BringH5927 him up to me in the bedH4296, that I may slay him. 16And when the messengersH4397 cameH935 in, behold, the teraphimH8655 was in the bedH4296, with the pillow of goats’H5795 hair at the headH4763 thereof. 17And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto MichalH4324, WhyH4100 hast thou deceived me thusH3602, and let mine enemyH341 goH7971, so that he is escapedH4422? And MichalH4324 answered SaulH7586, He saidH559 unto me, Let me goH7971; whyH4100 should I killH4191 thee?

18Now DavidH1732 fledH1272, and escapedH4422, and cameH935 to SamuelH8050 to RamahH7414, and toldH5046 him all that SaulH7586 had done to him. And he and SamuelH8050 wentH935 and dweltH3427 in NaiothH5121.
