And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 19 of 1 Samuel. Another victory over the Philistines reactivates Saul’s jealousy, and he attempts to spear David. Michal helps David escape and uses an image to make it appear that he remains in bed. The repeated assassination attempt shows that Saul’s promise has not transformed his heart. David definitively moves from royal servant to fugitive. Michal’s protection also introduces a domestic element into a story dominated by military and political conflicts.

Und Michal nahm ein Götzenbild und legte es ins Bett und legte ein Ziegenfell zu seinen Häupten und deckte es mit Kleidern zu.

Mical tomó un ídolo doméstico, lo puso en la cama, colocó una almohada de pelo de cabra a su cabecera y lo cubrió con una manta.
Ensuite Mical prit le théraphim, qu'elle plaça dans le lit; elle mit une peau de chèvre à son chevet, et elle l'enveloppa d'une couverture.
Poi Mical prese una statua, e la pose nel letto, e le mise in capo un cappuccio di pel di capra, e la coperse con una coverta.
E Mical tomou uma estátua e a deitou na cama, e pôs-lhe à cabeceira uma pele de cabra, e a cobriu com uma coberta.
米甲 把家中的神像放在床上,頭枕在山羊毛的枕頭上,用衣服蓋起來。
