Michal lets David down through the window and lays the teraphim in the bed

미갈이 다윗을 창에서 달아내리우고 침상에 우상을 뉨

1 Samuel 19:11–17: Saul sends messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. Michal, David’s wife, tells him, saying, “If you don’t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.” So Michal lets David down through the window. He goes away, flees, and escapes. Michal takes the teraphim and lays it in the bed, and puts a pillow of goats’ hair at its head and covers it with clothes. When Saul sends messengers to take David, she says, “He is sick.” Saul sends the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.” When the messengers come in, behold, the teraphim is in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head. Saul says to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” Michal answers Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’”
