So Michal let David down through a window, etc.] In like manner as Rahab let down the spies from her house in Jericho, when the king’s messengers were in quest of them, (<060215>Joshua 2:15); and as the disciples let down the Apostle Paul at Damascus, to preserve him from the designs of the Jews upon him: and he went, and fled, and escaped; he departed from his house, and ran with all the haste he could, and escaped the messengers that had beset the house, and were waiting for him.
