1 Samuel records the many times that David needed saving. In one instance, like the spies referenced in Joshua, he found himself trapped. Like those spies, he was saved by the hands of a woman who lowered him through a window...a window that many believe was Christ, who continues to be the only way out of the trap that everyone finds themselves within.

David was saved by the hands of another. Through Michal, God saved David, God redeemed David.

1 Samuel19:10 And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night. 1 Samuel19:11 Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain. 1 Samuel19:12 So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
