1 Samuel 19:12-17

¹²So Michal let David down through a window, and he went and fled, and escaped. ¹³And Michal took the household idol and laid it on the bed, and put a quilt of goats’ hair at its head, and covered it with clothing. ¹⁴When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.” ¹⁵Then Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me on his bed, so that I may put him to death.” ¹⁶When the messengers entered, behold, the household idol was on the bed with the quilt of goats’ hair at its head. ¹⁷So Saul said to Michal, “Why have you betrayed me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” And Michal said to Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I put you to death?’ ”
