121So MichalH4324 letH3381 DavidH1732 downH3381 throughH1157 a windowH2474, and he wentH1980 and fledH1272, and escapedH4422. 13And MichalH4324 tookH3947 2the 3householdH8655 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, “4He isH2470 sickH2470.” 15Then SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to seeH7200 DavidH1732, sayingH559, “BringH5927 him upH5927 to me on 5his bedH4296, so that I may putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191.” 16When the messengersH4397 enteredH935, beholdH2009, the 6householdH8655 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! 7WhyH4100 should I putH4191 you toH4191 deathH4191?’”

18So DavidH1732 fledH1272 and escapedH4422, and cameH935 8to SamuelH8050 at RamahH7414; and he informedH5046 him of everythingH3605 that SaulH7586 had doneH6213 to him. And he and SamuelH8050 wentH1980 and stayedH3427 in 9NaiothH5121.
