Michal Saves David's Life

1 Samuel 19:11-17

Saul therefore sent his guards to David's house to watch him, that he might be killed in the morning. And when Michol, David's wife, had told him this, saying: Unless thou save thyself this night, to morrow thou wilt die:

She let him down through a window. And he went and fled away, and escaped.

And Michol took an image, and laid it on the bed, and put a goat's skin, with the hair at the head of it, and covered it with clothes.

And Saul sent officers to seize David; and it was answered that he was sick.

And again Saul sent to see David, saying: Bring him to me in the bed, that he may be slain.

And when the messengers were come in, they found an image upon the bed, and a goat skin at his head.

And Saul said to Michol: Why hast thou deceived me so, and let my enemy go and flee away? And Michol answered Saul: Because he said to me: Let me go, or else I will kill thee.
