13 Then Michal took a household idol and laid it in the bed, placed some goat hair on its head, and covered it with a garment.

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.
