question:  What woman lied to her Father in order to save her Husband?

answer:  Michal – 1 Samuel 19:12-17 

“Saul also sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning.  And Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, ‘If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.’  So Michal let David down through a window.  And he went and fled and escaped.  And Michal took an image and laid it in the bed, put a cover of goats’ hair for his head, and covered it with clothes.  So when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, ‘He is sick.’  Then Saul sent the messengers back to see David, saying, ‘Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.’  And when the messengers had come in, there was the image in the bed, with a cover of goats’ hair for his head.  Then Saul said to Michal, ‘Why have you deceived me like this, and sent my enemy away, so that he has escaped?’ And Michal answered Saul, ‘He said to me, “Let me go!  Why should I kill you?”’  So David fled and escaped, and went to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him.  And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.  Now it was told Saul, saying, ‘Take note, David is at Naioth in Ramah!’  Then Saul sent messengers to take David.  And when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as leader over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.  And when Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise.  Then Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.  Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is at Sechu.  So he asked, and said, ‘Where are Samuel and David?’” (1 Samuel 19:11-22).
