Michal Helps David Escape

¹¹ Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him so they could kill him in the morning. David’s wife, Michal, told him, “If you don’t escape with your life tonight, tomorrow you’ll be put to death.” ¹² So Michal let David down through the window, and he escaped and fled. ¹³ Then Michal took the household idol^[a] and laid it on the bed with a cover of goat hair placed at its head. Then she covered it with clothes.
