Now there was ^(j)an evil spirit from the Lord on Saul as he was sitting in his house ^(k)with his spear in his hand, ^(l)and David was playing the harp with his hand.

^(m)Saul tried to ^[d]pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, so that he ^[e]stuck the spear into the wall. And David fled and escaped that night.

Then ⁽ⁿ⁾Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him, in order to put him to death in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be put to death."

^(o)So Michal let David down through a window, and he went out and fled and escaped.
