King James Version
“And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He sick.”
Context
11Saul also 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, to morrow thou shalt be slain.
12So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
13And Michal took an image, and laid in the bed, and put a pillow of goats for his bolster, and covered with a cloth.
14And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He sick.
15And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
16And when the messengers were come in, behold, an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats’ for his bolster.
17And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?
