BrLXXΚαὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ Μελχὸλ τὰ κενοτάφια, καὶ ἔθετο ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην, καὶ ἧπαρ τῶν αἰγῶν ἔθετο πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκάλυψεν αὐτὰ ἱματίῳ.

BrTrAnd Melchol took [fn]images, and laid them on the bed, and she put the [fn]liver of a goat by his head, and covered them with clothes.


19:13 Heb. teraphim, probably such images as were put on monuments.

19:13 כבר liver, has evidently been read here for כביר a quilt, or perhaps a pillow.

ULTAnd Michal took the household idol and put it on the bed. And she put a quilt of the goats at the place of its head. And she covered it with the clothes.

USTThen Michal took an idol that was in the house and put it in the bed. She covered it with some of David’s clothes, and put some goat’s hair on the head of the idol.

BSB  § Then Michal took a household idol [fn] and laid it in the bed, placed some goat hair on its head, and covered it with a garment.


19:13 Or a household god; Hebrew teraphim; also in verse 16


OEBMichal took the household god and laid it in the bed, and put a cloth of goat’s hair for its head and covered it with the garment.

WEBBEMichal took the teraphim[fn] and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head and covered it with clothes.


19:13 teraphim were household idols that may have been associated with inheritance rights to the household property.

WMBB (Same as above including footnotes)

NETThen Michal took a household idol and put it on the bed. She put a quilt made of goat’s hair over its head and then covered the idol with a garment.

FBVThen she took a home idol[fn] and laid it in the bed, put a goat hair wig on its head, and covered it with bedclothes.


19:13 “Home idol”: the Hebrew word used here is teraphim and they are first mentioned in Genesis 31. They were cult objects that were used to determine the “god's” will, see Ezekiel 21:21; Zechariah 10:2. That such idols would be there in David's house shows the degree to which “pure religion” had been corrupted over time.

T4TThen Michal took an idol and put it in the bed. She covered it with some of David’s clothes, and put some goat’s hair on the head of the idol.

LEBThen Michal took the household god[fn] and put it on the bed and put a quilt of goat’s hair at its head and covered it with the clothes.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

19:13 an idol: Hebrew teraphim, which were household idols (see Gen 31:30; Judg 17:5; 2 Kgs 23:24). The presence of an idol in the home of David and Michal might show the pervasive influence of pagan idol worship among the Israelites; perhaps the idol belonged to Michal. Apparently David did not object to its presence. (Cp. Rachel’s theft of her father’s household idols in Gen 31:19.)
• Siblings Jonathan (1 Sam 19:1-7) and Michal (19:11-18) saved David from their father and undermined their father’s plans to eliminate him. Members of Saul’s royal family played a significant role in David’s rise, though David did not usurp Saul’s throne.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) she put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes

(Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_took Mīkāl DOM the,idol and,laid to/towards the,bed and=DOM quilt the,goats'_hair put at_~_head,its and,covered in/on/at/with,clothes )

This could mean: (1) the head of the idol was lying on the goat’s hair pillow and Michal dressed the idol in David’s clothes or (2) Michal used David’s clothes as a blanket to completely cover the idol and made the “pillow” of goat’s hair look like David’s hair sticking out from under the blanket of clothes.
