10 Saul tried to pin David to the wall with his spear, but David dodged, and the spear stuck in the wall. David ran away and escaped.
11 That same night Saul sent some men to watch David's house and kill him the next morning. Michal, David's wife, warned him, “If you don't get away tonight, tomorrow you will be dead.”
12 She let him down from a window, and he ran away and escaped.
13 Then she took the household idol, laid it on the bed, put a pillow made of goats'-hair at its head, and put a cover over it.
14 When Saul's men came to get David, Michal told them that he was ill.
15 But Saul sent them back to see David for themselves. He ordered them, “Carry him here in his bed, and I will kill him.”
16 They went inside and found the household idol in the bed and the goats'-hair pillow at its head.
