1 Samuel 19:16 in Context — 1 Samuel 19

14 E quando Saul enviou mensageiros que tomassem a Davi, ela respondeu: Está enfermo.

15 E voltou Saul a enviar mensageiros para que vissem a Davi, dizendo: Trazei-o a mim na cama para que o mate.

16 E quando os mensageiros entraram, eis que a estátua estava na cama, e uma almofada de pelos de cabra por cabeceira.

17 Então Saul disse a Mical: Por que me enganaste assim, e deixaste escapar a meu inimigo? E Mical respondeu a Saul: Porque ele me disse: Deixa-me ir; se não, eu te matarei.

18 Fugiu, pois, Davi, e escapou-se, e veio a Samuel em Ramá, e disse-lhe tudo o que Saul havia feito com ele. E foram-se ele e Samuel, e moraram em Naiote.
