Your next door neighbor comes to your door, obviously bruised. She says her husband has beaten her; she needs to hide from him. You admit her to your house, and the neighbor's husband appears 5 minutes later asking if you have seen his wife, and if so, where she went?
What should you say to him?

Judg 4:20, KJV
This is a story about a woman who lied in a good cause.
King David pretended to be retarded once.
It's not the lie, it's the intent of your heart.

There is an example of this in the Bible where a prostitute hides spys of the Hebrew nation in her home and denied seeing them to the authorities who were looking to kill them. She was rewarded for her judgement to save the lives of these men.

#1 = remove the sword from its wall scabbard, say 'just a moment, please?";
#2 = close the door, call the police;
#3 = step out onto the porch, say: "She's safe here. You are not welcome, the police are on the way. Cross my threshold and they'll be arresting me for killing you."

I have not seen her. Call the police, get a police report .Take her to a shelter with people who can help her get out.

By then, I would have already called the police so it would not be a lie to say they are on their way.

tell him to hit the road that the police are on their way or who says you even have to answer the door.

Yes, I have seen her; No I will not tell you where she is, but I am calling the police.

Just say-- "Are the police not here yet?
They were called when the noise started a while ago --?"

I'd tell him that I hadn't seen her in days to get rid of him. Then I'd call the police.

you really shouldn't get in the middle of a couple's dispute. As soon as you let her in - call the cops adn then let them deal with it.
But to answer ur question..you should tell him to buzz off.
