Four scenes on an album leaf depicting the life of David, numbered nine to twelve. At the top left, Saul, out of jealousy, aims his spear at David and tries to kill him. A servant tries to stop him. David runs away with a harp in his hands. At the top right, David kills two hundred Philistines. He had their foreskins removed and brought them as a bride price to King Saul, depicted in the print at the bottom left. In the background of this scene, Saul gives his daughter Michal to David as a wife. At the bottom right, Michal helps David escape from her father's soldiers. David climbs down from the window via a rope. The soldiers stand at the door. Each scene has a Latin inscription and four lines of Latin in the lower margin. The leaf is part of an album.
