Contextual Overview
11Then Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him and kill him in the morning. But David's wife Michal warned him, "If you do not run for your life tonight, tomorrow you will be dead!" 12So Michal lowered David from the window, and he ran away and escaped.13Then Michal took a household idol and laid it in the bed, placed some goat hair on its head, and covered it with a garment. 14When Saul sent the messengers to seize David, Michal said, "He is ill." 15But Saul sent the messengers back to see David and told them, "Bring him up to me in his bed, so I can kill him." 16And when the messengers entered, there was the idol in the bed with the quilt of goats' hair on its head. 17And Saul said to Michal, "Why did you deceive me like this? You have sent my enemy away, and he has escaped!" Michal replied, "He said to me, 'Help me get away, or I will kill you!'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
So Michal let David down through a window,.... In like manner as Rahab let down the spies from her house in Jericho, when the king's messengers were in quest of them, Joshua 2:15; and as the disciples let down the Apostle Paul at Damascus, to preserve him from the designs of the Jews upon him:
and he went, and fled, and escaped; he departed from his house, and ran with all the haste he could, and escaped the messengers that had beset the house, and were waiting for him.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 19:12. Let David down through a window — As Saul's messengers were sent to David's house to watch him, they would naturally guard the gate, or lie in wait in that place by which David would come out. Michal, seeing this let him down to the ground through a window probably at the back part of the house; and there being neither entrance nor issue that way, the liers in wait were easily eluded.
