When the messengers came in, behold, the household idol was in the bed with the quilt of goats’ hair at its head.
Then Michal took a household idol, laid it in the bed, put a quilt of goats’ hair at the head and covered it with a cloth.
So Saul sent the agents back to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed so I may put him to death.”
Saul then said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy get away, so that he escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go or I’ll kill you!’”
