King James Version
And Saul speaketh
unto
Jonathan his son, and unto
all his servants, to
put
David to
death,
And Saul spake
to
Jonathan his son, and to
all his servants, that
they
should
kill
David .
and
Jonathan son of
Saul
delighted exceedingly
in David ,
and Jonathan declareth
to
David, saying, `
Saul my father is
seeking
to put
thee to
death,
and,
now ,
take
heed
, I pray thee, in
the morning, and thou
hast
abode
in a secret place, and been
hidden,
But
Jonathan Saul's
son delighted much
in David :
and Jonathan told
David, saying, Saul my father seeketh
to kill
thee :
now therefore
, I pray thee, take
heed
to
thyself
until
the morning, and abide
in a secret place, and hide
thyself:
and I --
I
go out ,
and have
stood
by
the
side
of
my father in the field where thou `
art '
, and I speak
of
thee
unto
my father ,
and have
seen
what `is
coming'
, and
have
declared
to
thee. '
And I will
go out and stand
beside
my father in the field where thou art, and I will
commune
with
my father of
thee;
and what I
see
, that
I
will
tell
thee.
And Jonathan speaketh
good of David unto Saul his father, and saith
unto him, `
Let not the king sin against his servant, against David ,
because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works for
thee `are'
very good ;
And Jonathan spake
good of David unto Saul his father, and said
unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David ;
because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have
been
to
thee -ward
very good :
yea,
he putteth
his life in his hand, and smiteth
the Philistine, and Jehovah
worketh
a great salvation for all Israel ;
thou hast
seen
, and dost
rejoice ,
and
why
dost
thou sin against innocent blood, to put
David to
death
for
nought
? '
For
he did
put
his life in his hand, and slew
the Philistine, and the
LORD
wrought
a great salvation for all Israel :
thou sawest
it
, and didst
rejoice :
wherefore
then
wilt
thou sin against innocent blood, to slay
David without
a
cause
?
And Saul hearkeneth
to
the voice of Jonathan ,
and Saul sweareth
, `Jehovah
liveth --
he doth
not die
. '
And Saul hearkened
unto
the voice of Jonathan :
and Saul sware
, As
the
LORD
liveth ,
he shall
not be
slain
.
And Jonathan calleth
for
David, and Jonathan declareth
to
him all these
words,
and Jonathan bringeth
in
David unto
Saul, and he is
before
him
as heretofore
.
And Jonathan called
David, and Jonathan showed
him all those
things.
And Jonathan brought
David to
Saul, and he was
in
his
presence,
as in
times
past
.
And there addeth
to
be
war ,
and David goeth
out and fighteth
against
the Philistines, and smiteth
among
them --
a great smiting,
and they flee
from his
face
.
And there was
war again:
and David went
out ,
and fought
with
the Philistines, and slew
them with
a great slaughter;
and they fled
from him
.
And a
spirit of
sadness
`
from '
Jehovah
is
unto
Saul, and
he is
sitting
in his house ,
and
his javelin in his hand ,
and David is
playing
with the
hand ,
And the
evil
spirit from the
LORD
was
upon
Saul, as
he sat
in his house with
his javelin in his hand :
and David played
with his
hand .
and Saul seeketh
to smite with
the
javelin
through
David ,
and
through
the wall ,
and
he
freeth
himself
from
the presence
of Saul
, and he smiteth
the javelin through
the wall ;
and David hath
fled and escapeth
during
that night.
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.
And
Saul sendeth
messengers unto the
house of
David
to watch him, and to put
him to
death
in the morning ;
and Michal his
wife declareth
to
David
, saying, `
If thou art
not delivering
thy life to -
night --
tomorrow
thou
art
put
to death
. '
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
.
And
Michal causeth
David to
go
down through the
window ,
and he goeth
on
, and fleeth
, and escapeth;
So
Michal let
David down through a
window :
and he went
, and fled
, and escaped.
and Michal taketh
the
teraphim
, and layeth
on
the bed, and the
mattress
of goats' `
hair '
she
hath
put
`
for '
his pillows
, and covereth
with a garment
.
And Michal took
an
image
, and laid
it
in
the bed, and put
a
pillow
of goats' hair for his bolster
, and covered
it
with a cloth
.
And Saul sendeth
messengers to take David, and
she saith
, `
He `
is '
sick. '
And when
Saul sent
messengers to take David, she said
, He is sick.
And Saul sendeth
the messengers to see David, saying, `
Bring him up in the bed unto
me
, '
--
to
put
him to
death
.
And Saul sent
the messengers again
to see David, saying, Bring him up to
me
in the bed, that
I
may
slay
him.
And the messengers come in, and
lo
, the
teraphim
`are'
on
the bed, and
the
mattress
of goats' `
hair ',
`
for '
his pillows
.
And when
the messengers were
come in, behold
, there
was
an
image
in
the bed, with
a
pillow
of goats' hair for his bolster
.
And Saul saith
unto Michal, `
Why thus
hast thou deceived me --
that
thou
dost
send
away mine enemy, and
he is escaped? '
and Michal saith
unto
Saul, `
He said unto me, Send
me away:
why do
I put
thee to
death
? '
And Saul said
unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so,
and
sent
away mine enemy, that
he is escaped? And Michal answered
Saul, He said unto me, Let
me go;
why should
I kill
thee?
And
David hath
fled, and is
escaped, and cometh
in
unto
Samuel to Ramath
, and declareth
to
him all that Saul hath
done to him ,
and he goeth,
he
and Samuel ,
and they
dwell
in Naioth.
So
David fled, and escaped, and came
to
Samuel to Ramah
, and told
him all that Saul had
done to him .
And he and Samuel went
and dwelt
in Naioth.
And it is
declared
to
Saul, saying, `Lo
, David `
is '
in
Naioth in Ramah. '
And it was
told
Saul, saying, Behold
, David is at
Naioth in Ramah.
And Saul sendeth
messengers to take David ,
and they see
the assembly
of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing ,
set
over them, and
the Spirit of God is
on
Saul's
messengers, and they prophesy
--
they
also.
And Saul sent
messengers to take David :
and when
they saw
the company
of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as
appointed
over them, the Spirit of God was
upon
the
messengers of
Saul
, and they also prophesied
.
And they
declare
`
it '
to
Saul, and
he sendeth
other messengers, and they prophesy
--
they
also;
and Saul addeth
and
sendeth
messengers a
third time, and they prophesy
--
they
also.
And when
it was
told
Saul, he sent
other messengers, and they prophesied
likewise.
And Saul sent
messengers again
the
third time, and they prophesied
also.
And
he
goeth
--
he also --
to Ramath
, and cometh
in
unto
the
great well which
`
is '
in Sechu ,
and asketh,
and saith
, `
Where `
are '
Samuel and David? '
and `
one '
saith
, `Lo
, in
Naioth in Ramah. '
Then
went
he also to Ramah
, and came
to
a
great well that
is in Sechu :
and he
asked
and said
, Where are Samuel and David? And one said
, Behold
, they
be
at
Naioth in Ramah.
And he goeth
thither --
unto
Naioth in Ramah ,
and the Spirit of God is
upon him --
him
also ;
and he goeth,
going
on, and he prophesyeth
till
his
coming
in
to Naioth in Ramah ,
And he went
thither to
Naioth in Ramah :
and the Spirit of God was
upon him also ,
and he went
on, and prophesied,
until
he came
to Naioth in Ramah .
and he strippeth
off --
he
also
--
his garments
, and prophesieth
--
he
also
--
before Samuel, and falleth
down naked all that day and all the
night ;
therefore
they say, `
Is Saul also among the prophets? '
And he stripped
off his clothes
also
, and prophesied
before Samuel in
like
manner
, and lay
down naked all that day and all that
night .
Wherefore
they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?
