Saul sendte folk til Davids hus for å vokte ham og drepe ham om morgenen. Men Mikal, Davids kone, advarte ham: "Hvis du ikke redder livet ditt i natt, vil du bli drept i morgen."
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, to-morrow thou wilt be slain.
