Saul sent men to David’s house to watch it and to kill him in the morning. But Michal, David’s wife, warned him,“ If you don’t run for your life tonight, tomorrow you’ll be killed.”So Michal let David down through a window, and he fled and escaped.Then Michal took an idol and laid it on the bed, covering it with a garment and putting some goats’ hair at the head.When Saul sent the men to capture David, Michal said,“ He is ill.”Then Saul sent the men back to see David and told them,“ Bring him up to me in his bed so that I may kill him.”But when the men entered, there was the idol in the bed, and at the head was some goats’ hair.Saul said to Michal,“ Why did you deceive me like this and send my enemy away so that he escaped?” Michal told him,“ He said to me,‘ Let me get away. Why should I kill you?’” (niv)

He’s the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he said,‘ I am the Son of God.’”In the same way the rebels who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him. (niv)

Then Absalom sent secret messengers throughout the tribes of Israel to say,“ As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpets, then say,‘ Absalom is king in Hebron.’”Two hundred men from Jerusalem had accompanied Absalom. They had been invited as guests and went quite innocently, knowing nothing about the matter.While Absalom was offering sacrifices, he also sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, to come from Giloh, his hometown. And so the conspiracy gained strength, and Absalom’s following kept on increasing.A messenger came and told David,“ The hearts of the people of Israel are with Absalom.” (niv)
