1 Samuel 19:15

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Saul sent the guards back and told them, “Get David out of his bed and bring him to me, so I can have him killed.”

See the chapter Copy

No one ever went hungry at my house,

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

These people quickly become violent.

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.

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