1 Samuel 19:16
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
And when the messengers entered, there was the idol in the bed with the quilt of goats’ hair on its head.
In context
14 When Saul sent the messengers to seize David, Michal said, “He is ill.”
15 But Saul sent the messengers back to see David and told them, “Bring him up to me in his bed so I can kill him.”
16 And when the messengers entered, there was the idol in the bed with the quilt of goats’ hair on its head.
17 And Saul said to Michal, “Why did you deceive me like this? You sent my enemy away and he has escaped!” Michal replied, “He said to me, ‘Help me get away, or I will kill you!’”
18 So David ran away and escaped. And he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there.
