16 When the messengers arrived, to their surprise, the household idol was on the bed with some goat hair on its head.

She answered him, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’”
18 So David fled and escaped and went to Samuel at Ramah(A) and told him everything Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel left and stayed at Naioth.(B)
