Michal Saves David's Life

1 Samuel 19:11-17

And Saul sendeth messengers unto the house of David to watch him, and to put him to death in the morning; and Michal his wife declareth to David, saying, `If thou art not delivering thy life to-night--tomorrow thou art put to death.'

And Michal causeth David to go down through the window, and he goeth on, and fleeth, and escapeth;

and Michal taketh the teraphim, and layeth on the bed, and the mattress of goats' hair she hath put for his pillows, and covereth with a garment.

And Saul sendeth messengers to take David, and she saith, `He is sick.'

And Saul sendeth the messengers to see David, saying, `Bring him up in the bed unto me,' --to put him to death.

And the messengers come in, and lo, the teraphim are on the bed, and the mattress of goats' hair , for his pillows.

And Saul saith unto Michal, `Why thus hast thou deceived me--that thou dost send away mine enemy, and he is escaped?' and Michal saith unto Saul, `He said unto me, Send me away: why do I put thee to death?'
