14. And Saul sent officers to seize David: and it was answered that he was sick.
15. And again Saul sent to see David, saying: Bring him to me in the bed, that he may be slain.
16. And when the messengers were come in, they found an image upon the bed, and a goat's skin at its head.
17. And Saul said to Michol: Why hast thou deceived me so, and let my enemy go and flee away? And Michol answered Saul: Because he said to me: Let me go, or else I will kill thee.
18. But David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel in Ramatha, and told him all that Saul had done to him: and he and Samuel went and dwelt in Najoth.
19. And it was told Saul by some, saying: Behold David is in Najoth in Ramatha.
