Michal Saves David's Life

1 Samuel 19:11-17

But Sha'ul sent messengers to David's house to watch for him and kill him in the morning. Mikhal David's wife told him, "If you don't save your life tonight, tomorrow you'll be dead."

So Mikhal let David down through the window; and he left, fled and escaped.

Mikhal took the household idol, laid it on the bed, put a goat's-hair quilt at its head and covered it with a cloth.

When Sha'ul sent messengers to capture David, she said, "He's ill."

Sha'ul sent the messengers to see David with the order, "Bring him up to me, bed and all, so that I can kill him."

But when the messengers entered, there before them was the household idol in the bed, with the goat's-hair quilt at its head.

Sha'ul asked Mikhal, "Why did you deceive me this way and let my enemy go and escape?" Mikhal answered Sha'ul, "He threatened me, 'Let me go, or I'll kill you.'"
