Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan and Ishvi and Malchi-shua; and these are the names of his daughters: the older was named Merab and the younger Michal;

And Saul's daughter Michal was in love with David: and Saul had word of it and was pleased.

So David and his men got up and went, and put to death two hundred of the Philistines; and David took their private parts and gave the full number of them to the king, so that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for his wife.

Then in that night Saul sent men to David's house to keep watch on him so as to put him to death in the morning: and David's wife Michal said to him, If you do not go away to a safe place tonight you will be put to death in the morning.

So Michal let David down through the window, and he went in flight and got away.

Then Michal took the image and put it in the bed, with a cushion of goat's hair at its head, and she put clothing over it.

And Saul said to Michal, why have you been false to me, letting my hater go and get safely away? And in answer Michal said to Saul, He said to me, Let me go, or I will put you to death.

Now Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish of Gallim.
