1 Samuel 19:9-17
9And the evilH7451 spiritH7307 from YhwhH3068 was upon SaulH7586, as he satH3427 in his houseH1004 with his javelinH2595 in his handH3027: and DavidH1732 playedH5059 with his handH3027. 10And SaulH7586 soughtH1245 to smiteH5221 DavidH1732 even to the wallH7023 with the javelinH2595; but he slipped awayH6362 out of Saul’sH7586 presenceH6440, and he smoteH5221 the javelinH2595 into the wallH7023: and DavidH1732 fledH5127, and escapedH4422 that nightH3915. 11SaulH7586 also sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto David’sH1732 houseH1004, to watchH8104 him, and to slayH4191 him in the morningH1242: and MichalH4324 David’sH1732 wifeH802 toldH5046 him, sayingH559, If thou saveH4422 not thy lifeH5315 to nightH3915, to morrowH4279 thou shalt be slainH4191.
12So MichalH4324 letH3381 DavidH1732 downH3381 through a windowH2474: and he wentH3212, and fledH1272, and escapedH4422. 13And MichalH4324 tookH3947 an imageH8655, and laidH7760 it in the bedH4296, and putH7760 a pillowH3523 of goats’H5795 hair for his headH4763, and coveredH3680 it with a clothH899.1 14And when SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to takeH3947 DavidH1732, she saidH559, He is sickH2470. 15And SaulH7586 sentH7971 the messengersH4397 again to seeH7200 DavidH1732, sayingH559, Bring him upH5927 to me in the bedH4296, that I may slayH4191 him. 16And when the messengersH4397 were come inH935, behold, there was an imageH8655 in the bedH4296, with a pillowH3523 of goats’H5795 hair for his headH4763. 17And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto MichalH4324, Why hast thou deceived me soH7411, and sent awayH7971 mine enemyH341, that he is escapedH4422? And MichalH4324 answeredH559 SaulH7586, He saidH559 unto me, Let me goH7971; why should I killH4191 thee?
