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

Their feet are quick to shed blood;

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

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

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

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.
