1 Samuel 19:15

Good News Translation

But Saul sent them back to see David for themselves. He ordered them, “Carry him here in his bed, and I will kill him.”

See the chapter Copy

All those who work for me know that I have always welcomed strangers.

The wicked plot against good people and glare at them with hate.

They are quick to hurt and kill;

When Saul's men came to get David, Michal told them that he was sick.

They went inside and found the household idol in the bed and the goats' hair pillow at its head.

Saul was convinced by what Jonathan said and made a vow in the Lord's name that he would not kill David.
