1 Samuel 19:8-17
8When there was warH4421 againH3254, DavidH1732 wentH3318 outH3318 and foughtH3898 the PhilistinesH6430 and 1defeatedH5221 them with greatH1419 slaughterH4347, so that they fledH5127 from him. 9Now there was 2an evilH7451 spiritH7307 from the LordH3068 on SaulH7586 as he was sittingH3427 in his houseH1004 3with his spearH2595 in his handH3027, 4and DavidH1732 was playingH5059 the harp with his handH3027. 105And SaulH7586 triedH1245 to 6pinH5221 DavidH1732 to the wallH7023 with the spearH2595, but he escapedH6362 from Saul’sH7586 presenceH6440, so that he stuckH5221 the spearH2595 into the wallH7023. And DavidH1732 fledH5127 and escapedH4422 that nightH3915.
11Then 7SaulH7586 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!” 128So MichalH4324 letH3381 DavidH1732 downH3381 throughH1157 a windowH2474, and he wentH1980 and fledH1272, and escapedH4422. 13And MichalH4324 tookH3947 9the 10householdH8655 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, “11He isH2470 sickH2470.” 15Then SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to seeH7200 DavidH1732, sayingH559, “BringH5927 him upH5927 to me on 12his bedH4296, so that I may putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191.” 16When the messengersH4397 enteredH935, beholdH2009, the 13householdH8655 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! 14WhyH4100 should I putH4191 you toH4191 deathH4191?’”
