1 Samuel 19:12-24

12 ^aSo Michal let David down through the window, and he fled away and escaped. 13 Michal took ^ban image ^{▼▼Or a household god} and laid it on the bed and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head and covered it with the clothes. 14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.” 15 Then Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.” 16 And when the messengers came in, behold, ^dthe image was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head. 17 Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me thus and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” And Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go. ^eWhy should I kill you?’”

18 Now David fled and escaped, and he came to Samuel at ^fRamah and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and lived at Naioth. 19 And it was told Saul, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.” 20 Then Saul sent messengers to take David, and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, ^gthe Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, ^hand they also prophesied. 21 When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, ⁱand they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, ^jand they also prophesied. 22 Then he himself went to Ramah and came to the great well that is in Secu. And he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” And one said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in ^kRamah.” 23 And he went there to Naioth in Ramah. ^lAnd the Spirit of God came upon him also, and as he went he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah. 24 ^mAnd he too stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel and lay naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, ⁿ“Is Saul also among the prophets?”

16 for ^otheir feet run to evil,
and they make haste to shed blood.

Isaiah 59:7

7 ^pTheir feet run to evil,
and they are swift to shed innocent blood;
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
desolation and destruction are in their highways.

Acts 23:15

15 Now therefore you, along with the council, give notice to the tribune to bring him down to you, as though you were going to determine his case more exactly. And we are ready to kill him before he comes near.”
