15 Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”
16 When the messengers came in, there was the idol in the bed with a goat hair pillow for its head.
17 Saul said to Michal, “Why have you betrayed me and sent away my enemy, so that he escaped?”And Michal said to Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go. Why should I kill you?’ ”
18 Now David fled, and he escaped and came to Samuel at Ramah. And he reported to him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.
19 It was told Saul, saying, “David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
20 Then Saul sent messengers to take David, but when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying and Samuel taking his stand over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul and they also prophesied.
21 When it was reported to Saul, he sent other messengers. And they also prophesied. So Saul sent messengers again a third time, and they too prophesied.
