1 Samuel 19:16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ When the messengers entered David’s house, they found just an idol on the bed with goats’ hair on its head.

¹⁷ Saul said to Michal, “Why did you trick me this way? You let my enemy go so he could run away!”

Michal answered Saul, “David told me if I did not help him escape, he would kill me.”

¹⁸ After David had escaped from Saul, he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him everything Saul had done to him. Then David and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there.
