1 Samuel 19:12-17

Rotherham(i) 12 So Michal let down David, through the window, and he departed and fled, and escaped. 13 And Michal took the household god, and put it in the bed, and, a fly–net of goat’s–hair, put she at its head,––and covered it with the clothes. 14 And, when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said––He is, sick. 15 So Saul sent messengers to see David, saying,––Bring him up in the bed unto me, that I may put him to death. 16 And, when the messengers entered, lo! the household god in the bed,––with a fly–net of goat’s–hair at its head. 17 And Saul said unto Michal––Wherefore, in this way, hast thou deceived me, and let go mine enemy, that he hath escaped? Then said Michal unto Saul, He, himself, said unto me––Let me go, wherefore should I put thee to death?
