1 # And Saul <07586> spake <01696> (8762) to Jonathan <03129> his son <01121>, and to all his servants <05650> , that they should kill <04191> (8687) David <01732>.
2 But Jonathan <03083> Saul's <07586> son <01121> delighted <02654> (8804) much <03966> in David <01732>: and Jonathan <03083> told <05046> (8686) David <01732>, saying <0559> (8800), Saul <07586> my father <01> seeketh <01245> (8764) to kill <04191> (8687) thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed <08104> (8734) to thyself until the morning <01242>, and abide <03427> (8804) in a secret <05643> place, and hide <02244> (8738) thyself:
3 And I will go out <03318> (8799) and stand <05975> (8804) beside <03027> my father <01> in the field <07704> where thou art, and I will commune <01696> (8762) with my father <01> of thee; and what <04100> I see <07200> (8804), that I will tell <05046> (8689) thee.
4 And Jonathan <03083> spake <01696> (8762) good <02896> of David <01732> unto Saul <07586> his father <01>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Let not the king <04428> sin <02398> (8799) against his servant <05650> , against David <01732>; because he hath not sinned <02398> (8804) against thee, and because his works <04639> have been to thee-ward very <03966> good <02896>:
5 For he did put <07760> (8799) his life <05315> in his hand <03709>, and slew <05221> (8686) the Philistine <06430>, and the LORD <03068> wrought <06213> (8799) a great <01419> salvation <08668> for all Israel <03478> : thou sawest <07200> (8804) it, and didst rejoice <08055> (8799): wherefore then wilt thou sin <02398> (8799) against innocent <05355> blood <01818>, to slay <04191> (8687) David <01732> without a cause <02600>?
6 And Saul <07586> hearkened <08085> (8799) unto the voice <06963> of Jonathan <03083>: and Saul <07586> sware <07650> (8735), As the LORD <03068> liveth <02416>, he shall not <0518> be slain <04191> (8714) .
7 And Jonathan <03083> called <07121> (8799) David <01732>, and Jonathan <03083> shewed <05046> (8686) him all those things <01697>. And Jonathan <03083> brought <0935> (8686) David <01732> to Saul <07586>, and he was in his presence <06440>, as in times past <0865> <08032>.
8 # And there was war <04421> again <03254> (8686): and David <01732> went out <03318> (8799), and fought <03898> (8735) with the Philistines <06430>, and slew <05221> (8686) them with a great <01419> slaughter <04347> ; and they fled <05127> (8799) from <06440> him.
9 And the evil <07451> spirit <07307> from the LORD <03068> was upon Saul <07586>, as he sat <03427> (8802) in his house <01004> with his javelin <02595> in his hand <03027>: and David <01732> played <05059> (8764) with his hand <03027>.
10 And Saul <07586> sought <01245> (8762) to smite <05221> (8687) David <01732> even to the wall <07023> with the javelin <02595>; but he slipped away <06362> (8799) out of Saul's <07586> presence <06440>, and he smote <05221> (8686) the javelin <02595> into the wall <07023>: and David <01732> fled <05127> (8804), and escaped <04422> (8735) that night <03915>.
11 # Saul <07586> also sent <07971> (8799) messengers <04397> unto David's <01732> house <01004>, to watch <08104> (8800) him, and to slay <04191> (8687) him in the morning <01242>: and Michal <04324> David's <01732> wife <0802> told <05046> (8686) him, saying <0559> (8800), If thou save <04422> (8764) not thy life <05315> to night <03915>, to morrow <04279> thou shalt be slain <04191> (8716).
12 So Michal <04324> let <03381> <00> David <01732> down <03381> (8686) through a window <02474> : and he went <03212> (8799), and fled <01272> (8799), and escaped <04422> (8735).
13 And Michal <04324> took <03947> (8799) an image <08655>, and laid <07760> (8799) it in the bed <04296>, and put <07760> (8804) a pillow <03523> of goats <05795>' hair for his bolster <04763>, and covered <03680> (8762) it with a cloth <0899>.
14 And when Saul <07586> sent <07971> (8799) messengers <04397> to take <03947> (8800) David <01732>, she said <0559> (8799), He is sick <02470> (8802).
15 And Saul <07586> sent <07971> (8799) the messengers <04397> again to see <07200> (8800) David <01732>, saying <0559> (8800), Bring him up <05927> (8685) to me in the bed <04296>, that I may slay <04191> (8687) him.
16 And when the messengers <04397> were come in <0935> (8799), behold, there was an image <08655> in the bed <04296>, with a pillow <03523> of goats <05795>' hair for his bolster <04763>.
17 And Saul <07586> said <0559> (8799) unto Michal <04324>, Why hast thou deceived me so <07411> (8765) , and sent away <07971> (8762) mine enemy <0341> (8802), that he is escaped <04422> (8735)? And Michal <04324> answered <0559> (8799) Saul <07586>, He said <0559> (8804) unto me, Let me go <07971> (8761); why should I kill <04191> (8686) thee?
18 # So David <01732> fled <01272> (8804), and escaped <04422> (8735), and came <0935> (8799) to Samuel <08050> to Ramah <07414>, and told <05046> (8686) him all that Saul <07586> had done <06213> (8804) to him. And he and Samuel <08050> went <03212> (8799) and dwelt <03427> (8799) in Naioth <05121>.
19 And it was told <05046> (8714) Saul <07586>, saying <0559> (8800), Behold, David <01732> is at Naioth <05121> in Ramah <07414>.
20 And Saul <07586> sent <07971> (8799) messengers <04397> to take <03947> (8800) David <01732> : and when they saw <07200> (8799) the company <03862> of the prophets <05030> prophesying <05012> (8737), and Samuel <08050> standing <05975> (8802) as appointed <05324> (8737) over them, the Spirit <07307> of God <0430> was upon the messengers <04397> of Saul <07586>, and they also prophesied <05012> (8691).

21 And when it was told <05046> (8686) Saul <07586>, he sent <07971> (8799) other <0312> messengers <04397>, and they prophesied <05012> (8691) likewise. And Saul <07586> sent <07971> (8799) messengers <04397> again <03254> (8686) the third <07992> time, and they prophesied <05012> (8691) also.
22 Then went <03212> (8799) he also to Ramah <07414>, and came <0935> (8799) to a great <01419> well <0953> that is in Sechu <07906>: and he asked <07592> (8799) and said <0559> (8799), Where <0375> are Samuel <08050> and David <01732>? And one said <0559> (8799), Behold, they be at Naioth <05121> in Ramah <07414> .
23 And he went <03212> (8799) thither to Naioth <05121> in Ramah <07414>: and the Spirit <07307> of God <0430> was upon him also, and he went <03212> (8799) on <01980> (8800), and prophesied <05012> (8691), until he came <0935> (8800) to Naioth <05121> in Ramah <07414>.

24 And he stripped off <06584> (8799) his clothes <0899> also <01571>, and prophesied <05012> (8691) before <06440> Samuel <08050> in like manner, and lay down <05307> (8799) naked <06174> all that day <03117> and all that night <03915>. Wherefore they say <0559> (8799), Is Saul <07586> also among the prophets <05030>?
