1 Samuel 19:9-17

[9] And the evil  spirit  from the LORD  was upon Saul,  as he sat  in his house  with his javelin  in his hand:  and David  played  with his hand.  [10] And Saul  sought  to smite  David  even to the wall  with the javelin;  but he slipped away  out of Saul's  presence,  and he smote  the javelin  into the wall:  and David  fled,  and escaped  that night.  [11] Saul  also sent  messengers  unto David's  house,  to watch  him, and to slay  him in the morning:  and Michal  David's  wife  told  him, saying,  If thou save  not thy life  to night,  to morrow  thou shalt be slain.  [12] So Michal  David  down  through a window:  and fled,  and escaped.  [13] And Michal  took  an image,  and laid  it in the bed,  and put  a pillow  of goats'  hair for his bolster,  and covered  it with a cloth.  [14] And when Saul  sent  messengers  to take  David,  she said,  He is sick.  [15] And Saul  sent  the messengers  again to see  David,  saying,  Bring him up  to me in the bed,  that I may slay  [16] And when the messengers  were come in,  behold, there was an image  in the bed,  with a pillow  of goats'  hair for his bolster.  [17] And Saul  said  unto Michal,  Why hast thou deceived me so,  and sent away  mine enemy,  that he is escaped?  And Michal  answered  Saul,  He said  unto me, Let me go;  why should I kill
