11 aSaul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him, that he might kill him in the morning. But Michal, David’s wife, told him, “If you do not escape with your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.” 12 bSo Michal let David down through the window, and he fled away and escaped. 13Michal took can 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. 14And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.” 15Then Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.” 2 Samuel 13:28-29
28Then Absalom commanded his servants, “Mark when Amnon’s eheart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, ‘Strike Amnon,’ then kill him. Do not fear; have I not commanded you? Be courageous and be valiant.” 29So the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and each mounted his mule and fled.Psalms 10:8-9
8He sits in ambush in the villages;in fhiding places he murders the innocent.

9he lurks in ambush like ga lion in his hthicket;
he ilurks that he may seize the poor;
he seizes the poor when he draws him into his jnet.

from the kneading of the dough
until it is leavened.

All mtheir kings nhave fallen,
and none of them calls upon me.
