And Saul sent messengers to David\u2019s house to keep watch over him and to put him to death in the morning. And Michal his wife told David, saying, \u201cIf you do not get yourself away tonight, tomorrow you\u2019ll be dead.\u201d (19:11)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Commentary: <\/span>If you do not get yourself away tonight, tomorrow you\u2019ll be dead<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

It is striking that we are given Michal\u2019s urgent dialogue here but not a word of response from David, only the chain of his rapid actions after she lets him down (by an improvised rope?) from the window- “he went off and fled and got away.” Perhaps this asymmetrical presentation of the two characters is meant to suggest David\u2019s breathless flight, with no time for conversation. In any case, it continues the pattern of occluding David\u2019s inner responses that we observed in chapter 18. Michal is risking a great deal in order to save David. We have no idea about his feelings towards her as she does this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
