1 Samuel 19:15

Contemporary English Version 1995

Saul sent the guards back and told them, “Bring David to me—bed and all—so I can kill him.”

See the chapter Copy

These people quickly become violent.

Merciless people make plots against good people and snarl like animals,

No one ever went hungry at my house,

Saul agreed and promised, “I swear by the living Lord that I won't have David killed!”

The next morning, Saul sent guards to arrest David. But Michal told them, “David is sick.”

When the guards went in, all they found in the bed was the statue with the goat hair on its head.
