 * And when.
   It is highly probable that David, when supposed to be sick,
   was thought to be hid in the harem or chamber of Michal.  "The
   harems," says De La Motraye, "are sanctuaries, as sacred and
   inviolable, for persons pursed by justice for any crime, debt,
   etc., as the Roman Catholic churches in Italy, Spain,
   Portugal, etc."  Thus we find, that to effect his purpose,
   Saul sent messengers to Michal, but they treated her harem
   with too much respect to enter it at first; but being
   authorised by Saul, they entered even into her chamber; and
   during the delay occasioned by respect for the privacy of
   Michal, David escaped.
