1 Samuel 19:13-17

13Then MichalH4324 tookH3947 a household idolH86551 and laidH7760 it inH413 the bedH4296, placedH7760 some goat hairH3523H5795 on its headH4763, and coveredH3680 it with a garmentH899. 14When SaulH7586 sentH7971 the messengersH4397 to seizeH3947 DavidH1732, Michal saidH559, “HeH1931 is illH2470.”

15But SaulH7586 sentH7971 the messengers backH4397 to seeH7200 DavidH1732 and told themH559, “BringH5927 himH853 up to meH413 in his bedH4296 so I can kill himH4191.” 16And when the messengersH4397 enteredH935, there wasH2009 the idolH8655 inH413 the bedH4296 with the goatH3523H5795 hair on its headH4763.

17And SaulH7586 saidH559 to MichalH4324, “WhyH4100 did you deceive meH7411 like thisH3602? You sent my enemyH341 awayH7971, and he has escapedH4422!”

MichalH4324H413 repliedH559, “HeH1931 saidH559 to meH413, ‘Help me get awayH7971, orH4100 I will kill youH4191!’”
