8. And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
9. And an evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David played with his hand.
10. And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
11. And Saul sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to-night, tomorrow thou shalt be slain.
12. So Michal let David down through the window: and he went, and fled, and escaped;
13. And Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair at the head thereof, and covered it with the clothes.
14. And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
