1 Samuel 19:15

New Living Translation

But Saul sent the troops back to get David. He ordered, “Bring him to me in his bed so I can kill him!”

See the chapter Copy

“My servants have never said, ‘He let others go hungry.’

The wicked plot against the godly; they snarl at them in defiance.

“They rush to commit murder.

When the troops came to arrest David, she told them he was sick and couldn’t get out of bed.

But when they came to carry David out, they discovered that it was only an idol in the bed with a cushion of goat’s hair at its head.

So Saul listened to Jonathan and vowed, “As surely as the Lord lives, David will not be killed.”
