Saul dispatched some of his officers to watch David’s house so that they could kill him the next day. David’s wife Michal warned him. Michal: If you don’t save yourself tonight, tomorrow morning you’ll be killed.

On the day after tomorrow, you will be greatly missed. On that day, quickly go down to that place where you hid yourself the first time and wait by the stone Ezel.

Now, my lord, as the Eternal One lives and as you live, since the Eternal has kept you from senseless killing and from seizing vengeance yourself, may your enemies and all who seek to harm you, my lord, be like Nabal.
