11 ^xSaul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him, that he might kill him in the morning. But Michal, David’s wife, told him, “If you do not escape with your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”

15 Then Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”

8 and brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David at Hebron. And they said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul, ^uyour enemy, ^vwho sought your life. The Lord has avenged my lord the king this day on Saul and on his offspring.”
