1st Samuel 19

11 Therefore Saul sent his knights in the night into the house of David, that they should keep him, and that he should be slain in the morrowtide. And when Michal, the wife of David, had told this to David, and said, If thou savest not thee in this night, thou shalt die tomorrow;

12 and she let him down by a window. And David went, and fled thence, and he was saved.

13 And Michal took an image, and laid it on the bed of David, and she put a rough goatskin at the head thereof, and covered it with clothes.

14 Forsooth Saul sent sergeants, that should ravish [or take] David, and it was answered, that he was sick.

15 And again Saul sent messengers, that they should see David, and he said, Bring ye him to me in the bed, that he be slain.

16 And when the messengers had come, a simulacrum was found on the bed, and skins of goat at the head thereof.

17 And Saul said to Michal, Why scornedest thou me so, and deliver-edest mine enemy, that he fled? And Michal answered to Saul, For he spake to me, and said, Deliver thou me, else I shall slay thee.

18 Forsooth David fled, and was saved; and he came to Samuel into Ramah, and told to him all things which Saul had done to him; and he and Samuel went, and dwelled in Naioth.
