Contextual Overview
11 Then Saul sent men to David's house to watch him, that he might kill him in the morning. But David's wife Michal told him, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed." 12 So Michal let David down through a window, and he ran away. 13 Michal took a house god and laid it on the bed. She put a goat hair pillow at its head, and covered it with clothes. 14 When Saul sent men to take David, Michal said, "He is sick." 15 Then Saul sent men to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him." 16 When the men came in, the house god was on the bed, with the goat hair pillow at its head. 17 So Saul said to Michal, "Why have you fooled me like this and let the man I hate go? Now he has run away to be safe." Michal said to Saul, "He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I 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.
