And Saul sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to put him to death, in the morning! And Michal his wife told David, saying, If thou do not deliver thyself to-night, to-morrow, art thou to be put to death.

So Michal let down David, through the window, and he departed and fled, and escaped.

And Michal took the household god, and put it in the bed, and, a fly-net of goats-hair, put she at its head, - and covered it with the clothes.

And, when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said - He is, sick.

So Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, - Bring him up in the bed unto me, that I may put him to death.

And, when the messengers entered, lo! the household god in the bed, - with a fly-net of goats-hair at its head.

And Saul said unto Michal - Wherefore, in this way, hast thou deceived me, and let go mine enemy, that he hath escaped? Then said Michal unto Saul, He, himself, said unto me - Let me go, wherefore should I put thee to death?
