1 Samuel 19 11-1 Samuel 19 24
Saul sent some men to watch David’s house. He told them to kill David the next morning. But David’s wife Michal warned him. She said,“ You must run for your life tonight. 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.”But when the men entered, the only thing they found in the bed was the statue. Some goat hair was at the place where David’s head would have been.Saul said to Michal,“ Why did you trick me like this? Why did you help my enemy escape?” Michal told him,“ He said to me,‘ Help me get away. If you don’t, I’ll kill you.’ ”After David had run away and escaped, he went to Samuel at Ramah. He told him everything Saul had done to him. Then David and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there.Saul was told,“ David is in Naioth at Ramah.”So Saul sent some men to capture him. When they got there, they saw a group of prophets who were prophesying. Samuel was standing there as their leader. Then the Spirit of God came on Saul’s men. So they also began to prophesy.Saul was told about it. So he sent some more men. They began to prophesy too. Saul sent some men a third time. And they also began to prophesy.Finally, Saul decided to go to Ramah himself. He went to the large well at Seku. He asked some people,“ Where are Samuel and David?”“ Over in Naioth at Ramah,” they said.So Saul went to Naioth at Ramah. But the Spirit of God even came on him. He walked along and prophesied until he came to Naioth.There he took off his clothes. Then he also prophesied in front of Samuel. He lay there without his clothes on all that day and night. That’s why people say,“ Is Saul also one of the prophets?”

The people of Gaza were told,“ Samson is here!” So they surrounded the place. They hid and waited for him at the city gate all night long. They didn’t make any move against him during the night. They said,“ Let’s wait until the sun comes up. Then we’ll kill him.”But Samson stayed there only until the middle of the night. Then he got up. He took hold of the doors of the city gate. He also took hold of the two doorposts. He tore them loose, together with their metal bar. He picked them up and put them on his shoulders. Then he carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron.
