7. Jonathan called David, and Jonathan reported to him all these words. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as previously.
8. Then there was war again, and David went out and fought with the Philistines. He slew them with a great slaughter and they fled from him.
9. Now an evil spirit from the Lord was upon Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. And David was playing the lyre.
10. Then Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he escaped from Saul’s presence. He struck the spear into the wall. But David fled and escaped that night.
11. Saul also sent messengers to the house of David, to watch him and to slay him in the morning. But Michal, wife of David, told him, saying, “If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be dead.”
12. So Michal let David down through a window, and he went and fled to safety.
13. Michal took an idol and laid it in the bed, and put a braided goat hair pillow for its head and covered it with clothes.
