9. And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.
10. And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away from Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
11. Saul also sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, If thou dost not save thy life to-night, to-morrow thou wilt be slain.
12. So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
13. And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goat's hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.
14. And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
15. And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
16. And when the messengers had come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goat's hair for his bolster.
