1 Samuel 19:15

New American Bible - revised edition

Saul, however, sent the officers back to see David and commanded them, “Bring him up to me in his bed, that I may kill him.”

See the chapter Copy

Had not the men of my tent exclaimed, “Who has not been filled with his meat!”

The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them;

Their feet are quick to shed blood;

When Saul sent officers to arrest David, she said, “He is sick.”

But when the messengers entered, they found the teraphim in the bed, with the tangle of goat’s hair at its head.

Saul heeded Jonathan’s plea and swore, “As the Lord lives, he shall not be killed.”
