1 Samuel 19:12-17

12 ^aSo Michal let David down through a window, and he went out and fled and escaped. 13 Michal took ^bthe ^{▼▼ Heb teraphim}household idol and laid it on the bed, and put a quilt of goats’ hair at its head, and covered it with clothes. 14 When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, ^d“He is sick.” 15 Then Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me on ^{▼▼ Lit the}his bed, that I may put him to death.” 16 When the messengers entered, behold, the ^{▼▼ Heb teraphim}household idol was on the bed with the quilt of goats’ hair at its head. 17 So Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived 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! ^gWhy should I put you to death?’”
