1 Samuel 19:11-15 And it came to pass in that night, that Saul sent messengers to the house of David to watch him, in order to slay him in the morning; and Melchol David's wife told him, saying, Unless thou save thy life this night, to-morrow thou shalt be slain.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ And it came to pass in that night, that Saul sent messengers to the house of David to watch him, in order to slay him in the morning; and Melchol David's wife told him, saying, Unless thou save thy life this night, to-morrow thou shalt be slain. ¹² So Melchol lets David down by the window, and he departed, and fled, and escaped. ¹³ And Melchol took images, and laid them on the bed, and she put the liver of a goat by his head, and covered them with clothes. ¹⁴ And Saul sent messengers to take David; and they say that he is sick. ¹⁵ And he sends to David, saying, Bring him to me on the bed, that I may slay him.
