1 Samuel 19:11-24
11Then 1SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to David’sH1732 houseH1004 to watchH8104 him, in order to putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191 in the morningH1242. But MichalH4324, David’sH1732 wifeH802, informedH5046 him, sayingH559, “IfH518 you do not saveH4422 your lifeH5315 tonightH3915, tomorrowH4279 you will be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191!” 122So MichalH4324 letH3381 DavidH1732 downH3381 throughH1157 a windowH2474, and he wentH1980 and fledH1272, and escapedH4422. 13And MichalH4324 tookH3947 3the 4householdH8655 idolH8655 and laidH7760 it on the bedH4296, and putH7760 a quiltH3523 of goats’H5795 hairH5795 atH4763 its headH4763, and coveredH3680 it with clothingH899. 14When SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to takeH3947 DavidH1732, she saidH559, “5He isH2470 sickH2470.” 15Then SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to seeH7200 DavidH1732, sayingH559, “BringH5927 him upH5927 to me on 6his bedH4296, so that I may putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191.” 16When the messengersH4397 enteredH935, beholdH2009, the 7householdH8655 idolH8655 was on the bedH4296 with the quiltH3523 of goats’H5795 hairH5795 atH4763 its headH4763. 17So SaulH7586 saidH559 to MichalH4324, “WhyH4100 have you betrayedH7411 me likeH3602 thisH3602 and letH7971 my enemyH340 goH7971, so that he has escapedH4422?” And MichalH4324 saidH559 to SaulH7586, “He saidH559 to me, ‘LetH7971 me goH7971! 8WhyH4100 should I putH4191 you toH4191 deathH4191?’”
18So DavidH1732 fledH1272 and escapedH4422, and cameH935 9to SamuelH8050 at RamahH7414; and he informedH5046 him of everythingH3605 that SaulH7586 had doneH6213 to him. And he and SamuelH8050 wentH1980 and stayedH3427 in 10NaiothH5121. 19But it was reportedH5046 to SaulH7586, sayingH559, “BeholdH2009, DavidH1732 is at NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414.” 20Then 11SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to takeH3947 DavidH1732, but when they sawH7200 12the companyH3862 of prophetsH5030 prophesyingH5012, with SamuelH8050 standingH5975 and presidingH5324 overH5921 them, the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH1961 upon the messengersH4397 of SaulH7586; and 13they alsoH1571 prophesiedH5012. 21When SaulH7586 was informedH5046 of this, he sentH7971 otherH312 messengersH4397, but they alsoH1571 prophesiedH5012. So SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 againH3254 the thirdH7992 timeH7992, yet they prophesiedH5012. 22Then he wentH1980 to RamahH7414 himselfH1931 and cameH935 as farH5704 as the largeH1419 wellH953 that is in SecuH7906; and he 14askedH7592, “WhereH375 are SamuelH8050 and DavidH1732?” And someone saidH559, “BeholdH2009, they are at NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414.” 23So he 15proceededH1980 thereH8033 to NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414; but 16the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH1961 upon him alsoH1571, so that he wentH1980 along prophesyingH5012 continuallyH1980 untilH5704 he cameH935 to NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414. 24He alsoH1571 strippedH6584 offH6584 his clothesH899, and he tooH1571 prophesiedH5012 beforeH6440 SamuelH8050 and 17layH5307 downH5307 1819nakedH6174 allH3605 that dayH3117 and allH3605 nightH3915. ThereforeH5921H3651 they sayH559, “20Is SaulH7586 alsoH1571 among the prophetsH5030?”
