1 Samuel 19:15-17

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ Then Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.” ¹⁶ And when the messengers came in, behold, the image^[a] was in the bed, with the pillow^[b] of goats’ hair at its head. ¹⁷ Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” And Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go; why should I kill you?’”
