1 Samuel 19:9-17

9And an evilH7451 spiritH7307 from the LORDH3068 was uponH1961 SaulH7586 as he satH3427 in his houseH1004 with his spearH2595 in his handH3027; and DavidH1732 playedH5059 with his handH3027.

10And SaulH7586 soughtH1245 to smiteH5221 DavidH1732 evenH853 to the wallH7023 with the spearH2595; but he slippedH6362 awayH5127 outH6440 of Saul’sH7586 presenceH6440, and he smoteH5221 the spearH2595 intoH2595 the wallH7023: and DavidH1732 fledH5127, and escapedH4422 that nightH3915.

11And SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto David’sH1732 houseH1004, to watchH8104 him, and to slayH4191 him in the morningH1242: and MichalH4324 David’sH1732 wifeH802 toldH5046 him, sayingH559, IfH518 thou saveH4422 notH369 thy lifeH5315 to-night, tomorrowH4279 thou shalt be slain.

12SoH3381 MichalH4324 letH3381 DavidH1732 downH3381 throughH1157 the windowH2474: and he wentH3381, and fledH1272, and escapedH4422;

13And MichalH4324 tookH3947 the teraphimH8655, and laidH7760 it in the bedH4296, and putH7760 a pillow of goats’H5795 hair at the headH4763 thereof, and coveredH3680 it with the clothesH899.

14And when SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to takeH3947 DavidH1732, sheH1931 saidH559, He is sickH2470.

15And SaulH7586 sentH7971 the messengersH4397 to seeH7200 DavidH1732, sayingH559, BringH5927 him upH5927 to meH413 in the bedH4296, that I may slayH4191 him.

16And when the messengersH4397 cameH935 in, beholdH2009, the teraphimH8655 was in the bedH4296, with the pillow of goats’H5795 hair at the headH4763 thereof.

17And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto MichalH4324, WhyH4100 hast thou deceivedH7411 meH413 thusH3602, and letH7971 mine enemyH341 goH7971, that he is escapedH4422? And MichalH4324 answeredH559 SaulH7586, He saidH559 unto meH413, LetH7971 meH413 goH7971; whyH4100 should I killH4191 thee?
