YLT(i)
11 And Saul sendeth messengers unto the house of David to watch him, and to put him to death in the morning; and Michal his wife declareth to David, saying, `If thou art not delivering thy life to-night—tomorrow thou art put to death.'
12 And Michal causeth David to go down through the window, and he goeth on, and fleeth, and escapeth;
13 and Michal taketh the teraphim, and layeth on the bed, and the mattress of goats' hair she hath put for his pillows, and covereth with a garment.
14 And Saul sendeth messengers to take David, and she saith, `He is sick.'
15 And Saul sendeth the messengers to see David, saying, `Bring him up in the bed unto me,' —to put him to death.
16 And the messengers come in, and lo, the teraphim are on the bed, and the mattress of goats' hair, for his pillows.
17 And Saul saith unto Michal, `Why thus hast thou deceived me—that thou dost send away mine enemy, and he is escaped?' and Michal saith unto Saul, `He said unto me, Send me away: why do I put thee to death?'
