Description: Commentary on the relationship between King David and his first wife.
...Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with a spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the spear into the wall; and David fled, and escaped that night. 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 tonight, to-morrow thou shalt be slain.' So Michal let David down through the window; and he went, and fled, and escaped. And Michal took the teraphim, and laid it on the bed, and put a quilt of goats' hair at the head thereof, and covered it with a cloth. And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said: 'He is sick'. And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying: 'Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.' And when the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the quilt of goats' hair at the head thereof. And Saul said unto Michal: 'Why hast thou deceived me thus, and let mine enemy go, that he is escaped?' And Michal answered Saul: 'He said unto me: Let me go; why should I kill thee?' (I Samuel, 19: 10 - 17)
