[1] Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, greatly delighted in David. [2] 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. [3] I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you.” [4] 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; [5] 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?” [6] Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he shall not be put to death.” [7] Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before. [8] There was war again. David went out and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him. [9] An evil spirit from Yahweh was on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing music with his hand. [10] 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. [11] 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.” [12] So Michal let David down through the window. He went away, fled, and escaped. [13] Michal took the teraphimⓘ and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow 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] Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.” [16] When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head. [17] Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?”Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’” [18] 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. [19] Saul was told, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.” [20] 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. [21] When Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied. [22] 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.” [23] He went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then God’s Spirit came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah. [24] He also stripped off his clothes. He also prophesied before Samuel and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”

King James Version
[1] And Saul H7586 spake H1696 to Jonathan H3129 his son, H1121 and to all his servants, H5650 that they should kill H4191 David. H1732 [2] But Jonathan H3083 Saul’s H7586 son H1121 delighted H2654 much H3966 in David: H1732 and Jonathan H3083 told H5046 David, H1732 saying, H559 Saul H7586 my father H1 seeketh H1245 to kill H4191 thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed H8104 to thyself until the morning, H1242 and abide H3427 in a secret H5643 place, and hide H2244 thyself: [3] and I will go out H3318 and stand H5975 beside H3027 my father H1 in the field H7704 where thou art, and I will commune H1696 with my father H1 of thee; and what H4100 I see, H7200 that I will tell H5046 thee. [4] And Jonathan H3083 spake H1696 good H2896 of David H1732 unto H413 Saul H7586 his father, H1 and said H559 unto H413 him, Let not the king H4428 sin H2398 against his servant, H5650 against David; H1732 because H3588 he hath not sinned H2398 against thee, and because his works H4639 have been to thee-ward very H3966 good: H2896 [5] for he did put H7760 H853 his life H5315 in his hand, H3709 and slew H5221 H853 the Philistine, H6430 and the Lord H3068 wrought H6213 a great H1419 salvation H8668 for all Israel: H3478 thou sawest H7200 it, and didst rejoice: H8055 wherefore then wilt thou sin H2398 against innocent H5355 blood, H1818 to slay H4191 H853 David H1732 without a cause? H2600 [6] And Saul H7586 hearkened H8085 unto the voice H6963 of Jonathan: H3083 and Saul H7586 sware, H7650 As the Lord H3068 liveth, H2416 he shall not H518 be slain. H4191 [7] And Jonathan H3083 called H7121 David, H1732 and Jonathan H3083 shewed H5046 him all those things. H1697 And Jonathan H3083 brought H935 David H1732 to Saul, H7586 and he was in his presence, H6440 as in times past. H865 H8032 [8] And there was war H4421 again: H3254 and David H1732 went out, H3318 and fought H3898 with the Philistines, H6430 and slew H5221 them with a great H1419 slaughter; H4347 and they fled H5127 from H6440 him.§ [9] And the evil H7451 spirit H7307 from the Lord H3068 was upon Saul, H7586 as he sat H3427 in his house H1004 with his javelin H2595 in his hand: H3027 and David H1732 played H5059 with his hand. H3027 [10] And Saul H7586 sought H1245 to smite H5221 David H1732 even to the wall H7023 with the javelin; H2595 but he slipped away H6362 out of Saul’s H7586 presence, H6440 and he smote H5221 the javelin H2595 into the wall: H7023 and David H1732 fled, H5127 and escaped H4422 that night. H3915 [11] Saul H7586 also sent H7971 messengers H4397 unto H413 David’s H1732 house, H1004 to watch H8104 him, and to slay H4191 him in the morning: H1242 and Michal H4324 David’s H1732 wife H802 told H5046 him, saying, H559 If thou save H4422 H853 not H369 thy life H5315 to night, H3915 to morrow H4279 thou shalt be slain. H4191 [12] So Michal H4324 let H3381 H853 David H1732 down H3381 through a window: H2474 and he went, H3212 and fled, H1272 and escaped. H4422 [13] And Michal H4324 took H3947 H853 an image, H8655 and laid H7760 it in the bed, H4296 and put H7760 a pillow H3523 of goats’ H5795 hair for his bolster, H4763 and covered H3680 it with a cloth. H899 [14] And when Saul H7586 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to take H3947 H853 David, H1732 she said, H559 He is sick. H2470 [15] And Saul H7586 sent H7971 H853 the messengers H4397 again to see H7200 H853 David, H1732 saying, H559 Bring him up H5927 to me in the bed, H4296 that I may slay H4191 him. [16] And when the messengers H4397 were come in, H935 behold, there was an image H8655 in the bed, H4296 with a pillow H3523 of goats’ H5795 hair for his bolster. H4763 [17] And Saul H7586 said H559 unto H413 Michal, H4324 Why hast thou deceived me so, H7411 and sent away H7971 H853 mine enemy, H341 that he is escaped? H4422 And Michal H4324 answered H559 Saul, H7586 He said H559 unto H413 me, Let me go; H7971 why should I kill H4191 thee? [18] So David H1732 fled, H1272 and escaped, H4422 and came H935 to Samuel H8050 to Ramah, H7414 and told H5046 him all that Saul H7586 had done H6213 to him. And he and Samuel H8050 went H3212 and dwelt H3427 in Naioth. H5121 [19] And it was told H5046 Saul, H7586 saying, H559 Behold, David H1732 is at Naioth H5121 in Ramah. H7414 [20] And Saul H7586 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to take H3947 H853 David: H1732 and when they saw H7200 H853 the company H3862 of the prophets H5030 prophesying, H5012 and Samuel H8050 standing H5975 as appointed H5324 over H5921 them, the Spirit H7307 of God H430 was upon the messengers H4397 of Saul, H7586 and they also prophesied. H5012 [21] And when it was told H5046 Saul, H7586 he sent H7971 other H312 messengers, H4397 and they prophesied H5012 likewise. And Saul H7586 sent H7971 messengers H4397 again H3254 the third H7992 time, and they prophesied H5012 also. [22] Then went H3212 he also to Ramah, H7414 and came H935 to a great H1419 well H953 that is in Sechu: H7906 and he asked H7592 and said, H559 Where H375 are Samuel H8050 and David? H1732 And one said, H559 Behold, they be at Naioth H5121 in Ramah. H7414 [23] And he went H3212 thither to Naioth H5121 in Ramah: H7414 and the Spirit H7307 of God H430 was upon him also, and he went H3212 on, H1980 and prophesied, H5012 until H5704 he came H935 to Naioth H5121 in Ramah. H7414 [24] And he stripped off H6584 his clothes H899 also, H1571 and prophesied H5012 before H6440 Samuel H8050 in like manner, and lay down H5307§ naked H6174 all H3605 that day H3117 and all that night. H3915 Wherefore they say, H559 Is Saul H7586 also H1571 among the prophets? H5030
