1
Now Saul
told
Jonathan
his son
and all
his servants
to put
David
to death.
But
Jonathan
,
Saul's
son,
greatly
delighted
in
David
.
2
So Jonathan
told
David
saying,
"Saul
my father
is seeking
to put you to death.
Now
therefore, please
be on guard
in the morning,
and stay
in a secret place
and hide
yourself.
3
"I will go
out and stand
beside
my father
in the field
where
you are, and I will speak
with
my father
about you; if I find
out anything,
then I will tell
you."
4
Then Jonathan
spoke
well
of David
to Saul
his father
and said
to him, "Do not let the king
sin
against his servant
David,
since
he has not sinned
against you, and
since
his deeds
have been very
beneficial
to you.
5
"For he took
his life
in his hand
and struck
the Philistine,
and the LORD
brought about
a great
deliverance
for all
Israel;
you saw
it and rejoiced.
Why
then will you sin
against innocent
blood
by putting
David
to death
without a cause?"
6
Saul
listened
to the voice
of Jonathan,
and
Saul
vowed,
"As the LORD
lives,
he shall not be put to death."
7
Then Jonathan
called
David
,
and Jonathan
told
him all
these
words.
And Jonathan
brought
David
to Saul,
and he was in his presence
as formerly.
8
When there was war
again,
David
went
out and fought
with the Philistines
and defeated
them with great
slaughter,
so that they fled
before
him.
9
Now there was an evil
spirit
from the LORD
on Saul
as he was sitting
in his house
with his spear
in his hand,
and David
was playing
the harp with his hand.
10
Saul
tried
to pin
David
to the wall
with
the spear
,
but he slipped away
out of
Saul
's
presence,
so that he stuck
the spear
into the wall.
And
David
fled
and escaped
that night.
11
Then Saul
sent
messengers
to
David's
house
to watch
him, in order to put
him to death
in the morning.
But Michal,
David's
wife,
told
him, saying,
"If
you do not save
your life
tonight,
tomorrow
you will be put to death."
12
So Michal
let
David
down
through
a window,
and he went
out and fled
and escaped.
13
Michal
took
the household idol
and laid
it on the bed,
and put
a quilt
of goats'
hair at its head,
and covered
it with clothes.
14
When Saul
sent
messengers
to take
David,
she said,
"He is sick."
15
Then Saul
sent
messengers
to see
David,
saying,
"Bring
him up to me on his bed,
that I may put him to death."
16
When the messengers
entered,
behold,
the household idol
was on the bed
with the quilt
of goats'
hair at its head.
17
So Saul
said
to Michal,
"
Why
have you deceived
me like this
and let
my enemy
go,
so that he has escaped?"
And Michal
said
to Saul,
"He
said
to me, 'Let me go!
Why
should I put you to death?'"
18
Now David
fled
and escaped
and came
to Samuel
at Ramah,
and told
him all
that Saul
had done
to him. And he and Samuel
went
and stayed
in Naioth.
19
It was told
Saul,
saying,
"Behold,
David
is at Naioth
in Ramah."
20
Then Saul
sent
messengers
to take
David,
but when they saw
the company
of the prophets
prophesying,
with Samuel
standing
and presiding
over
them, the Spirit
of God
came
upon the
messengers
of Saul;
and they also
prophesied.
21
When it was told
Saul,
he
sent
other
messengers
,
and they also
prophesied.
So Saul
sent
messengers
again
the third time,
and they also
prophesied.
22
Then he himself
went
to Ramah
and came
as far
as the large
well
that is in Secu;
and he asked
and said,
"Where
are Samuel
and David?"
And someone said,
"Behold,
they are at Naioth
in Ramah."
23
He proceeded
there
to Naioth
in Ramah;
and the Spirit
of God
came
upon him also,
so that he went
along prophesying
continually
until
he
came
to Naioth
in Ramah.
24
He
also
stripped off
his clothes,
and he too
prophesied
before
Samuel
and lay down
naked
all
that day
and
all
that night.
Therefore
they say,
"Is Saul
also
among the prophets?"
