Wherefore David H1732 arose H6965 (QalImpf) and went, H3212 (QalImpf) he and his men, H582 and slew H5221 (HiphImpf) of the Philistines H6430 two hundred H3967 men; H376 and David H1732 brought H935 (HiphImpf) their foreskins, H6190 and they gave them in full tale H4390 (PielImpf) to the king, H4428 that he might be the king’s H4428 son in law.

And Saul H7586 saw H7200 (QalImpf) and knew H3045 (QalImpf) that the Lord H3068 was with David, H1732 and that Michal H4324 Saul’s H7586 daughter H1323 loved H157 (QalPerf) him.

και ειδεν σαουλ οτι κυριος μετα δαυιδ και πας ισραηλ ηγαπα αυτον

Saul was even more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually.

And Saul H7586 was yet the more H3254 (HiphImpf) afraid H3372 (QalInf) of H6440 David; H1732 and Saul H7586 became David’s H1732 enemy H341 (QalActPtc) continually. H3117

και προσεθετο ευλαβεισθαι απο δαυιδ ετι

Then the princes of the Philistines went out; and as often as they went out, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly esteemed.

Then the princes H8269 of the Philistines H6430 went forth: H3318 (QalImpf) and it came to pass, after H1767 they went forth, H3318 (QalInf) that David H1732 behaved himself more wisely H7919 (QalPerf) than all the servants H5650 of Saul; H7586 so that his name H8034 was much H3966 set by.^§ H3365 (QalImpf)

και ελαλησεν σαουλ προς ιωναθαν τον υιον αυτου και προς παντας τους παιδας αυτου θανατωσαι τον δαυιδ και ιωναθαν υιος σαουλ ηρειτο τον δαυιδ σφοδρα

Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, live in a secret place, and hide yourself.

But Jonathan H3083 Saul’s H7586 son H1121 delighted H2654 (QalPerf) much H3966 in David: H1732 and Jonathan H3083 told H5046 (HiphImpf) David, H1732 saying, H559 (QalInf) Saul H7586 my father H1 seeketh H1245 (PielPtc) to kill H4191 (HiphInf) thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed H8104 (NiphImpv) to thyself until the morning, H1242 and abide H3427 (QalPerf) in a secret H5643 place, and hide H2244 (NiphPerf) thyself:

και απηγγειλεν ιωναθαν τω δαυιδ λεγων σαουλ ζητει θανατωσαι σε φυλαξαι ουν αυριον πρωι και κρυβηθι και καθισον κρυβη

Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;

And Jonathan H3083 spake H1696 (PielImpf) good H2896 of David H1732 unto Saul H7586 his father, H1 and said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, Let not the king H4428 sin H2398 (QalImpf) against his servant, H5650 against David; H1732 because he hath not sinned H2398 (QalPerf) against thee, and because his works H4639 have been to thee-ward very H3966 good: H2896

και ελαλησεν ιωναθαν περι δαυιδ αγαθα προς σαουλ τον πατερα αυτου και ειπεν προς αυτον μη αμαρτησατω ο βασιλευς εις τον δουλον σου δαυιδ οτι ουχ ημαρτηκεν εις σε και τα ποιηματα αυτου αγαθα σφοδρα

for he put his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and Yahweh worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”

for he did put H7760 (QalImpf) his life H5315 in his hand, H3709 and slew H5221 (HiphImpf) the Philistine, H6430 and the Lord H3068 wrought H6213 (QalImpf) a great H1419 salvation H8668 for all Israel: H3478 thou sawest H7200 (QalPerf) it, and didst rejoice: H8055 (QalImpf) wherefore then wilt thou sin H2398 (QalImpf) against innocent H5355 blood, H1818 to slay H4191 (HiphInf) David H1732 without a cause? H2600

και εθετο την ψυχην αυτου εν τη χειρι αυτου και επαταξεν τον αλλοφυλον και εποιησεν κυριος σωτηριαν μεγαλην και πας ισραηλ ειδον και εχαρησαν και ινα τι αμαρτανεις εις αιμα αθωον θανατωσαι τον δαυιδ δωρεαν

Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.

And Jonathan H3083 called H7121 (QalImpf) David, H1732 and Jonathan H3083 shewed H5046 (HiphImpf) him all those things. H1697 And Jonathan H3083 brought H935 (HiphImpf) David H1732 to Saul, H7586 and he was in his presence, H6440 as in times past. H865 H8032

και εκαλεσεν ιωναθαν τον δαυιδ και απηγγειλεν αυτω παντα τα ρηματα ταυτα και εισηγαγεν ιωναθαν τον δαυιδ προς σαουλ και ην ενωπιον αυτου ωσει εχθες και τριτην ημεραν

There was war again. David went out and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.

And the evil H7451 spirit H7307 from the Lord H3068 was upon Saul, H7586 as he sat H3427 (QalActPtc) in his house H1004 with his javelin H2595 in his hand: H3027 and David H1732 played H5059 (PielPtc) with his hand. H3027

και εγενετο πνευμα θεου πονηρον επι σαουλ και αυτος εν οικω καθευδων και δορυ εν τη χειρι αυτου και δαυιδ εψαλλεν εν ταις χερσιν αυτου

Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence; and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled and escaped that night.

And Saul H7586 sought H1245 (PielImpf) to smite H5221 (HiphInf) David H1732 even to the wall H7023 with the javelin; H2595 but he slipped away H6362 (QalImpf) out of Saul’s H7586 presence, H6440 and he smote H5221 (HiphImpf) the javelin H2595 into the wall: H7023 and David H1732 fled, H5127 (QalPerf) and escaped H4422 (NiphImpf) that night. H3915

και εζητει σαουλ παταξαι το δορυ εις δαυιδ και απεστη δαυιδ εκ προσωπου σαουλ και επαταξεν το δορυ εις τον τοιχον και δαυιδ ανεχωρησεν και διεσωθη

Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you don’t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”

Saul H7586 also sent H7971 (QalImpf) messengers H4397 unto David’s H1732 house, H1004 to watch H8104 (QalInf) him, and to slay H4191 (HiphInf) him in the morning: H1242 and Michal H4324 David’s H1732 wife H802 told H5046 (HiphImpf) him, saying, H559 (QalInf) If thou save H4422 (PielPtc) not thy life H5315 to night, H3915 to morrow H4279 thou shalt be slain. H4191 (HophPtc)

και εγενηθη εν τη νυκτι εκεινη και απεστειλεν σαουλ αγγελους εις οικον δαυιδ φυλαξαι αυτον του θανατωσαι αυτον πρωι και απηγγειλεν τω δαυιδ μελχολ η γυνη αυτου λεγουσα εαν μη συ σωσης την ψυχην σαυτου την νυκτα ταυτην αυριον θανατωθηση

So Michal let David down through the window. He went away, fled, and escaped.

So Michal H4324 let H3381 David H1732 down H3381 (HiphImpf) through a window: H2474 and he went, H3212 (QalImpf) and fled, H1272 (QalImpf) and escaped. H4422 (NiphImpf)

και καταγει η μελχολ τον δαυιδ δια της θυριδος και απηλθεν και εφυγεν και σωζεται

When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”

And when Saul H7586 sent H7971 (QalImpf) messengers H4397 to take H3947 (QalInf) David, H1732 she said, H559 (QalImpf) He is sick. H2470 (QalActPtc)

και απεστειλεν σαουλ αγγελους λαβειν τον δαυιδ και λεγουσιν ενοχλεισθαι αυτον

Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”

και αποστελλει επι τον δαυιδ λεγων αγαγετε αυτον επι της κλινης προς με του θανατωσαι αυτον

Now David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth.

So David H1732 fled, H1272 (QalPerf) and escaped, H4422 (NiphImpf) and came H935 (QalImpf) to Samuel H8050 to Ramah, H7414 and told H5046 (HiphImpf) him all that Saul H7586 had done H6213 (QalPerf) to him. And he and Samuel H8050 went H3212 (QalImpf) and dwelt H3427 (QalImpf) in Naioth. H5121

και δαυιδ εφυγεν και διεσωθη και παραγινεται προς σαμουηλ εις αρμαθαιμ και απαγγελλει αυτω παντα οσα εποιησεν αυτω σαουλ και επορευθη δαυιδ και σαμουηλ και εκαθισαν εν ναυαθ εν ραμα

Saul was told, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”

And it was told H5046 (HophImpf) Saul, H7586 saying, H559 (QalInf) Behold, David H1732 is at Naioth H5121 in Ramah. H7414

και απηγγελη τω σαουλ λεγοντες ιδου δαυιδ εν ναυαθ εν ραμα

Saul sent messengers to seize David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, God’s Spirit came on Saul’s messengers, and they also prophesied.

And Saul H7586 sent H7971 (QalImpf) messengers H4397 to take H3947 (QalInf) David: H1732 and when they saw H7200 (QalImpf) the company H3862 of the prophets H5030 prophesying, H5012 (NiphPtc) and Samuel H8050 standing H5975 (QalActPtc) as appointed H5324 (NiphPtc) over them, the Spirit H7307 of God H430 was upon the messengers H4397 of Saul, H7586 and they also prophesied. H5012 (HithImpf)

και απεστειλεν σαουλ αγγελους λαβειν τον δαυιδ και ειδαν την εκκλησιαν των προφητων και σαμουηλ ειστηκει καθεστηκως επ αυτων και εγενηθη επι τους αγγελους του σαουλ πνευμα θεου και προφητευουσιν

Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” One said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”

Then went H3212 (QalImpf) he also to Ramah, H7414 and came H935 (QalImpf) to a great H1419 well H953 that is in Sechu: H7906 and he asked H7592 (QalImpf) and said, H559 (QalImpf) Where H375 are Samuel H8050 and David? H1732 And one said, H559 (QalImpf) Behold, they be at Naioth H5121 in Ramah. H7414

και εθυμωθη οργη σαουλ και επορευθη και αυτος εις αρμαθαιμ και ερχεται εως του φρεατος του αλω του εν τω σεφι και ηρωτησεν και ειπεν που σαμουηλ και δαυιδ και ειπαν ιδου εν ναυαθ εν ραμα

David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?”

And David H1732 fled H1272 (QalImpf) from Naioth H5121 in Ramah, H7414 and came H935 (QalImpf) and said H559 (QalImpf) before H6440 Jonathan, H3083 What have I done? H6213 (QalPerf) what is mine iniquity? H5771 and what is my sin H2403 before H6440 thy father, H1 that he seeketh H1245 (PielPtc) my life? H5315

και απεδρα δαυιδ εκ ναυαθ εν ραμα και ερχεται ενωπιον ιωναθαν και ειπεν τι πεποιηκα και τι το αδικημα μου και τι ημαρτηκα ενωπιον του πατρος σου οτι επιζητει την ψυχην μου

David swore moreover, and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, ‘Don’t let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved;’ but truly as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.”

And David H1732 sware H7650 (NiphImpf) moreover, and said, H559 (QalImpf) Thy father H1 certainly H3045 (QalInf) knoweth H3045 (QalPerf) that I have found H4672 (QalPerf) grace H2580 in thine eyes; H5869 and he saith, H559 (QalImpf) Let not Jonathan H3083 know H3045 (QalImpf) this, lest he be grieved: H6087 (NiphImpf) but truly H199 as the Lord H3068 liveth, H2416 and as thy soul H5315 liveth, H2416 there is but a step H6587 between me and death. H4194

και απεκριθη δαυιδ τω ιωναθαν και ειπεν γινωσκων οιδεν ο πατηρ σου οτι ευρηκα χαριν εν οφθαλμοις σου και ειπεν μη γνωτω τουτο ιωναθαν μη ου βουληται αλλα ζη κυριος και ζη η ψυχη σου οτι καθως ειπον εμπεπλησται ανα μεσον μου και του θανατου

Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.”

Then said H559 (QalImpf) Jonathan H3083 unto David, H1732 Whatsoever thy soul^§ H5315 desireth,^§ H559 (QalImpf) I will even do H6213 (QalImpf) it for thee.

1 Samuel 20:4b Heb. speaketh, or thinketh

και ειπεν ιωναθαν προς δαυιδ τι επιθυμει η ψυχη σου και τι ποιησω σοι

David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to dine with the king; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening.

And David H1732 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Jonathan, H3083 Behold, to morrow H4279 is the new moon, H2320 and I should not fail H3427 (QalInf) to sit H3427 (QalImpf) with the king H4428 at meat: H398 (QalInf) but let me go, H7971 (PielPerf) that I may hide H5641 (NiphPerf) myself in the field H7704 unto the third H7992 day at even. H6153

και ειπεν δαυιδ προς ιωναθαν ιδου δη νεομηνια αυριον και εγω καθισας ου καθησομαι μετα του βασιλεως φαγειν και εξαποστελεις με και κρυβησομαι εν τω πεδιω εως δειλης

If your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem, his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.’

If thy father H1 at all H6485 (QalInf) miss H6485 (QalImpf) me, then say, H559 (QalPerf) David H1732 earnestly H7592 (NiphInf) asked H7592 (NiphPerf) leave of me that he might run H7323 (QalInf) to Beth-lehem H1035 his city: H5892 for there is a yearly H3117 sacrifice^§ H2077 there for all the family. H4940

1 Samuel 20:6 Or, feast

εαν επισκεπτομενος επισκεψηται με ο πατηρ σου και ερεις παραιτουμενος παρητησατο απ εμου δαυιδ δραμειν εως εις βηθλεεμ την πολιν αυτου οτι θυσια των ημερων εκει ολη τη φυλη

Then David said to Jonathan, “Who will tell me if your father answers you roughly?”

Then said H559 (QalImpf) David H1732 to Jonathan, H3083 Who shall tell H5046 (HiphImpf) me? or what if thy father H1 answer H6030 (QalImpf) thee roughly? H7186

και ειπεν δαυιδ προς ιωναθαν τις απαγγελει μοι εαν αποκριθη ο πατηρ σου σκληρως

Jonathan said to David, “Come! Let’s go out into the field.” They both went out into the field.

And Jonathan H3083 said H559 (QalImpf) unto David, H1732 Come, H3212 (QalImpv) and let us go out H3318 (QalImpf) into the field. H7704 And they went out H3318 (QalImpf) both H8147 of them into the field. H7704

και ειπεν ιωναθαν προς δαυιδ πορευου και μενε εις αγρον και εκπορευονται αμφοτεροι εις αγρον

Jonathan said to David, “By Yahweh, the God of Israel, when I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good toward David, won’t I then send to you and disclose it to you?

And Jonathan H3083 said H559 (QalImpf) unto David, H1732 O Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 when I have sounded^§ H2713 (QalImpf) my father H1 about to morrow H4279 any time, H6256 or the third H7992 day, and, behold, if there be good H2895 (QalPerf) toward David, H1732 and I then send H7971 (QalImpf) not unto thee, and shew H1540 (QalPerf) H241 it thee;^§

1 Samuel 20:12a Heb. searched
1 Samuel 20:12b Heb. uncover thine ear

και ειπεν ιωναθαν προς δαυιδ κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ οιδεν οτι ανακρινω τον πατερα μου ως αν ο καιρος τρισσως και ιδου αγαθον η περι δαυιδ και ου μη αποστειλω προς σε εις αγρον

but you shall also not cut off your kindness from my house forever, no, not when Yahweh has cut off every one of the enemies of David from the surface of the earth.”

but also thou shalt not cut off H3772 (HiphImpf) thy kindness H2617 from my house H1004 for H5704 ever: H5769 no, not when the Lord H3068 hath cut off H3772 (HiphInf) the enemies H341 (QalActPtc) of David H1732 every one H376 from the face H6440 of the earth. H127

ουκ εξαρεις ελεος σου απο του οικου μου εως του αιωνος και ει μη εν τω εξαιρειν κυριον τους εχθρους δαυιδ εκαστον απο προσωπου της γης

So Jonathan made a covenant with David’s house, saying, “Yahweh will require it at the hand of David’s enemies.”

So Jonathan H3083 made^§ H3772 (QalImpf) a covenant with the house H1004 of David, H1732 saying, Let the Lord H3068 even require H1245 (PielPerf) it at the hand H3027 of David’s H1732 enemies. H341 (QalActPtc)

1 Samuel 20:16 Heb. cut

εξαρθηναι το ονομα του ιωναθαν απο του οικου δαυιδ και εκζητησαι κυριος εχθρους του δαυιδ

Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had for him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

And Jonathan H3083 caused David H1732 to swear H7650 (HiphInf) again, H3254 (HiphImpf) because he loved H160 him:^§ for he loved H157 (QalPerf) him as he loved H160 his own soul. H5315

1 Samuel 20:17 Or, by his love towards him

και προσεθετο ετι ιωναθαν ομοσαι τω δαυιδ οτι ηγαπησεν ψυχην αγαπωντος αυτον

Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.

Then Jonathan H3083 said H559 (QalImpf) to David, H1732 To morrow H4279 is the new moon: H2320 and thou shalt be missed, H6485 (NiphPerf) because thy seat H4186 will be empty.^§ H6485 (NiphImpf)

1 Samuel 20:18 Heb. missed

και ειπεν ιωναθαν αυριον νουμηνια και επισκεπηση οτι επισκεπησεται καθεδρα σου

So David hid himself in the field. When the new moon had come, the king sat himself down to eat food.

So David H1732 hid H5641 (NiphImpf) himself in the field: H7704 and when the new moon H2320 was come, the king H4428 sat him down H3427 (QalImpf) to eat H398 (QalInf) meat. H3899

και κρυπτεται δαυιδ εν αγρω και παραγινεται ο μην και ερχεται ο βασιλευς επι την τραπεζαν του φαγειν

The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, but David’s place was empty.

And the king H4428 sat H3427 (QalImpf) upon his seat, H4186 as at other times, H6471 even upon a seat H4186 by the wall: H7023 and Jonathan H3083 arose, H6965 (QalImpf) and Abner H74 sat H3427 (QalImpf) by Saul’s H7586 side, H6654 and David’s H1732 place H4725 was empty. H6485 (NiphImpf)

και εκαθισεν ο βασιλευς επι την καθεδραν αυτου ως απαξ και απαξ επι της καθεδρας παρα τοιχον και προεφθασεν τον ιωναθαν και εκαθισεν αβεννηρ εκ πλαγιων σαουλ και επεσκεπη ο τοπος δαυιδ

On the next day after the new moon, the second day, David’s place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why didn’t the son of Jesse come to eat, either yesterday, or today?”

And it came to pass on the morrow, H4283 which was the second H8145 day of the month, H2320 that David’s H1732 place H4725 was empty: H6485 (NiphImpf) and Saul H7586 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Jonathan H3083 his son, H1121 Wherefore cometh H935 (QalPerf) not the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 to meat, H3899 neither yesterday, H8543 nor to day? H3117

και εγενηθη τη επαυριον του μηνος τη ημερα τη δευτερα και επεσκεπη ο τοπος του δαυιδ και ειπεν σαουλ προς ιωναθαν τον υιον αυτου τι οτι ου παραγεγονεν ο υιος ιεσσαι και εχθες και σημερον επι την τραπεζαν

Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked permission of me to go to Bethlehem.

And Jonathan H3083 answered H6030 (QalImpf) Saul, H7586 David H1732 earnestly H7592 (NiphInf) asked H7592 (NiphPerf) leave of me H5978 to go to Beth-lehem: H1035

και απεκριθη ιωναθαν τω σαουλ και ειπεν αυτω παρητηται δαυιδ παρ εμου εως εις βηθλεεμ την πολιν αυτου πορευθηναι

Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.

And Saul H7586 cast H2904 (HiphImpf) a javelin H2595 at him to smite H5221 (HiphInf) him: whereby Jonathan H3083 knew H3045 (QalImpf) that it was determined H3617 of his father H1 to slay H4191 (HiphInf) David. H1732

και επηρεν σαουλ το δορυ επι ιωναθαν του θανατωσαι αυτον και εγνω ιωναθαν οτι συντετελεσται η κακια αυτη παρα του πατρος αυτου θανατωσαι τον δαυιδ

So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.

So Jonathan H3083 arose H6965 (QalImpf) from the table H7979 in fierce H2750 anger, H639 and did eat H398 (QalPerf) no meat H3899 the second H8145 day H3117 of the month: H2320 for he was grieved H6087 (NiphPerf) for David, H1732 because his father H1 had done him shame. H3637 (HiphPerf)

και ανεπηδησεν ιωναθαν απο της τραπεζης εν οργη θυμου και ουκ εφαγεν εν τη δευτερα του μηνος αρτον οτι εθραυσθη επι τον δαυιδ οτι συνετελεσεν επ αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου

In the morning, Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy with him.

And it came to pass in the morning, H1242 that Jonathan H3083 went out H3318 (QalImpf) into the field H7704 at the time appointed H4150 with David, H1732 and a little H6996 lad H5288 with him.

και εγενηθη πρωι και εξηλθεν ιωναθαν εις αγρον καθως εταξατο εις το μαρτυριον δαυιδ και παιδαριον μικρον μετ αυτου
