You didn’t guard him. And that isn’t good. You can be sure that the Lord lives. And you can be just as sure that you and your men must die. That’s because you didn’t guard your master.

If you don’t, tomorrow you will be killed.”So Michal helped David escape through a window. He ran and got away.Then Michal got a statue of a god. She laid it on David’s bed. She covered it with clothes. And she put some goat hair at the place where David’s head would have been.Saul sent the men to capture David. But Michal told them,“ He’s sick.”Then Saul sent the men back to see David. He told them,“ Bring him up here to me in his bed. Then I’ll kill him.”

Please be kind to me. You have made a covenant with me in front of the Lord. If I’m guilty, kill me yourself! Don’t hand me over to your father!”
