1 And David H1732 MMS fled H1272 W-VQY3MS from Naioth H5121 in Ramah H7414 , and came H935 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS before H6440 L-CMP Jonathan H3083 , What H4100 IPRO have I done H6213 VQQ1MS ? what H4100 is mine iniquity H5771 CMS-1MS ? and what H4100 is my sin H2403 before H6440 L-CMP thy father H1 NMS , that H3588 CONJ he seeketh H1245 my life H5315 CFS-1MS ?
2 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , God forbid H2486 IJEC-3FS ; thou shalt not H3808 NADV die H4191 : behold H2009 IJEC , my father H1 CMS-1MS will do H6213 nothing H3808 W-NADV either great H1419 AMS or H176 CONJ small H6996 AMS , but that he will show H3808 NADV it me H241 CFS-1MS : and why H4069 should my father H1 CMS-1MS hide H5641 this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 VQPMS from H4480 M-PREP-1MS me ? it H2063 is not H369 NPAR so .
3 And David H1732 MMS swore H7650 moreover H5750 ADV , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Thy father H1 NMS certainly knoweth H3045 that H3588 CONJ I have found H4672 VQQ1MS grace H2580 NMS in thine eyes H5869 ; and he saith H559 W-VQY3MS , Let not H408 NPAR Jonathan H3083 know H3045 VQQ3MS this H2063 DPRO , lest H6435 CONJ he be grieved H6087 : but truly H199 W-CONJ as the LORD H3068 EDS liveth H2416 AMS , and as thy soul H5315 liveth H2416 , there H3588 CONJ is CONJ but a step H6587 between H996 W-PREP-1MS me and death H4194 .
4 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS Jonathan H3083 unto H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , Whatsoever H4100 IPRO thy soul H5315 desireth H559 W-VQY3MS , I will even do H6213 it for thee .
5 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Jonathan H3083 , Behold H2009 , tomorrow H4279 NMS is the new moon H2320 , and I H595 W-PPRO-1MS should not fail to sit H3427 with H5973 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS at meat H398 : but let me go H7971 , that I may hide myself H5641 in the field H7704 unto H5704 PREP the third H7992 day at even H6153 .
6 If H518 PART thy father H1 NMS at all miss H6485 me , then say H559 , David H1732 earnestly asked H7592 leave of H4480 M-PREP-1MS me that he might run H7323 to Bethlehem H1035 his city H5892 : for H3588 CONJ there is a yearly H3117 D-NMP sacrifice H2077 NMS there H8033 ADV for all H3605 L-CMS the family H4940 .
7 If H518 PART he say H559 VQY3MS thus H3541 , It is well H2896 AMS ; thy servant H5650 shall have peace H7965 NMS : but if H518 PART he be very wroth H2734 , then be sure H3045 that H3588 CONJ evil H7451 D-AFS is determined H3615 by him .
8 Therefore thou shalt deal H6213 kindly H2617 NMS with H5921 PREP thy servant H5650 ; for H3588 CONJ thou hast brought H935 thy servant H5650 into a covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 EDS with H5973 PREP-2FS thee : notwithstanding , if H518 W-PART there be H3426 ADV in me iniquity H5771 NMS , slay H4191 me thyself H859 PPRO-2MS ; for H5704 W-PREP why H4100 L-IPRO shouldest thou bring H935 me to thy father H1 NMS ?
9 And Jonathan H3083 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Far be it H2486 IJEC-3FS from thee : for H3588 CONJ if H518 PART I knew certainly H3045 that H3588 CONJ evil H7451 D-AFS were determined H3615 by M-PREP my father H1 CMS-1MS to come H935 L-VQFC upon H5921 PREP-2MS thee , then would not H3808 W-NPAR I tell H5046 VHY3MS it thee ?
10 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS David H1732 MMS to H413 PREP Jonathan H3083 , Who H4310 IPRO shall tell H5046 VHY3MS me ? or H176 CONJ what H4100 IPRO if thy father H1 NMS answer H6030 thee roughly H7186 ?
11 And Jonathan H3083 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , Come H1980 VQI2MS-3FS , and let us go out H3318 into the field H7704 D-NMS . And they went out H3318 W-VQY3MP both H8147 ONUM-3MP of them into the field H7704 D-NMS .
12 And Jonathan H3083 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , O LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , when H3588 CONJ I have sounded H2713 my father H1 CMS-1MS about tomorrow H4279 NMS any time H6256 KD-NMS , or the third H7992 day , and , behold H2009 IJEC , if there be good H2896 AMS toward H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , and I then H227 ADV send H7971 not H3808 W-NPAR unto H413 PREP thee , and show it thee H1540 ;
13 The LORD H3068 EDS do H6213 VQY3MS so H3541 and much H3541 more H3254 VHY3MS to Jonathan H3083 : but if H3588 CONJ it please H3190 my father H1 CMS-1MS to do thee evil H7451 D-AFS , then I will show it thee H1540 , and send thee away H7971 , that thou mayest go H1980 in peace H7965 : and the LORD H3068 EDS be H1961 W-VQI3MS with H5973 PREP-2FS thee , as H834 K-RPRO he hath been H1961 VQQ3MS with H5973 PREP my father H1 .
14 And thou shalt not H3808 W-NPAR only while H518 PART yet H5750 I live H2416 AMS show H6213 me the kindness H2617 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , that I die H4191 not H3808 W-NPAR :
15 But also thou shalt not H3808 W-NPAR cut off H3772 thy kindness H2617 from M-PREP my house H1004 CMS-1MS forever H5704 PREP : no , not H3808 W-NPAR when the LORD H3068 EDS hath cut off H3772 the enemies H341 of David H1732 every one H376 NMS from the face H5921 M-PREP of the earth H127 D-NFS .
16 So Jonathan H3083 made H3772 a covenant with H5973 PREP the house H1004 CMS of David H1732 MMS , saying , Let the LORD H3068 EDS even require H1245 it at the hand H3027 M-GFS of David H1732 \'s enemies H341 .
17 And Jonathan H3083 caused David H1732 MMS to swear H7650 again H3254 , because he loved H160 him : for H3588 CONJ he loved H157 him as he loved H160 his own soul H5315 NMS-3MS .
18 Then Jonathan H3083 said H559 to David , Tomorrow H4279 NMS is the new moon H2320 : and thou shalt be missed H6485 , because H3588 CONJ thy seat H4186 will be empty H6485 .
19 And when thou hast stayed three days H8027 , then thou shalt go down H3381 quickly H3966 ADV , and come H935 W-VQQ2MS to H413 PREP the place H4725 D-NMS where H834 RPRO thou didst hide thyself H5641 when H8033 the business H4639 was in hand , and shalt remain H3427 by H681 the stone H68 Ezel H237 .
20 And I H589 W-PPRO-1MS will shoot H3384 VHY1MS three H7969 BMS arrows H2671 on the side H6654 thereof , as though I shot H7971 at a mark H4307 L-NFS .
21 And , behold H2009 IJEC , I will send H7971 a lad H5288 , saying , Go H1980 VQI2MS , find out H4672 the arrows H2671 . If H518 PART I expressly say H559 unto the lad H5288 , Behold H2009 IJEC , the arrows H2671 are on this side H2008 of thee , take H3947 them ; then come H935 thou : for H3588 CONJ there is peace H7965 NMS to thee , and no H369 W-NPAR hurt H1697 VQPMS ; as the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS liveth H2416 AMS .
22 But if H518 W-PART I say H559 VQY1MS thus H3541 unto the young man H5958 , Behold H2009 IJEC , the arrows H2671 are beyond H1973 thee ; go thy way H1980 VQI2MS : for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS hath sent thee away H7971 .
23 And as touching the matter H1697 which H834 RPRO thou H859 and I H589 PPRO-1MS have spoken H1696 of , behold H2009 IJEC , the LORD H3068 EDS be between H996 W-PREP-1MS thee and me forever H5704 PREP .
24 So David H1732 MMS hid himself H5641 in the field H7704 B-NMS : and when the new moon H2320 D-NMS was come H1961 W-VQY3MS , the king H4428 D-NMS sat him down H3427 W-VQY3MS to eat H398 meat H3899 .
25 And the king H4428 D-NMS sat H3427 W-VQY3MS upon H5921 PREP his seat H4186 , as at other times H6471 , even upon H413 PREP a seat H4186 by the wall H7023 : and Jonathan H3083 arose H6965 W-VQY3MS , and Abner H74 sat H3427 W-VQY3MS by Saul H7586 \'s side H6654 , and David H1732 \'s place H4725 CMS was empty H6485 .
26 Nevertheless Saul H7586 spoke H1696 not H3808 ADV any thing H3972 NMS that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS : for H3588 CONJ he thought H559 VQQ3MS , Something hath befallen H4745 him , he H1931 PPRO-3MS is not H1115 PREP clean H2889 AMS ; surely H3588 CONJ he is not H3808 NADV clean H2889 .
27 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS on the morrow H4283 , which was the second H8145 D-ONUM day of the month H2320 D-NMS , that David H1732 MMS \'s place H4725 CMS was empty H6485 : and Saul H7586 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Jonathan H3083 his son H1121 CMS-3MS , Wherefore H4069 IPRO cometh H935 not H3808 NADV the son H1121 CMS of Jesse H3448 to H413 PREP meat H3899 , neither H1571 CONJ yesterday H8543 , nor H1571 CONJ today H3117 D-AMS ?
28 And Jonathan H3083 answered H6030 W-VQY3MS Saul H7586 , David H1732 MMS earnestly asked H7592 leave of me to go to H5704 PREP Bethlehem H1035 :
29 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Let me go H7971 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC ; for H3588 CONJ our family H4940 hath a sacrifice H2077 NMS in the city H5892 BD-NFS ; and my brother H251 , he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS hath commanded H6680 me to be there : and now H6258 W-ADV , if H518 PART I have found H4672 VQQ1MS favor H2580 NMS in thine eyes H5869 , let me get away H4422 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , and see H7200 my brethren H251 . Therefore H5921 PREP he cometh H935 not H3808 NADV unto H413 PREP the king H4428 \'s table H7979 .
30 Then Saul H7586 \'s anger H639 CMS was kindled H2734 against Jonathan H3083 , and he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Thou son H1121 of the perverse H5753 rebellious H4780 woman , do not H3808 D-NPAR I know H3045 VQY1MS that H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS hast chosen H977 the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 to thine own confusion H1322 , and unto the confusion H1322 of thy mother H517 CFS-2MS \'s nakedness H6172 CFS ?
31 For H3588 CONJ as long H3605 CMS as H834 RPRO the son H1121 CMS of Jesse H3448 liveth H2416 upon H5921 PREP the ground H127 D-NFS , thou H859 PPRO-2MS shalt not H3808 NADV be established H3559 , nor thy kingdom H4438 . Wherefore now H6258 W-ADV send H7971 and fetch H3947 him unto H413 PREP-1MS me , for H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS shall surely die H1121 CMS .
32 And Jonathan H3083 answered H6030 W-VQY3MS Saul H7586 his father H1 CMS-3MS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Wherefore H4100 L-IPRO shall he be slain H4191 ? what H4100 L-IPRO hath he done H6213 VQQ3MS ?
33 And Saul H7586 cast H2904 a javelin H2595 at H5921 PREP-3MS him to smite H5221 him : whereby Jonathan H3083 knew H3045 W-VQY3MS that H3588 CONJ it H1931 PPRO-3FS was determined H3615 of M-PREP his father H1 CMS-3MS to slay H4191 David H1732 .
34 So Jonathan H3083 arose H6965 W-VQY3MS from M-PREP the table H7979 in fierce H2750 anger H639 NMS , and did eat H398 VQQ3MS no H3808 W-NPAR meat H3899 NMS the second H8145 D-ONUM day H3117 B-NMS of the month H2320 D-NMS : for H3588 CONJ he was grieved H6087 for H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , because H3588 CONJ his father H1 had done him shame H3637 .
35 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS in the morning H1242 , that Jonathan H3083 went out H3318 W-VQY3MS into the field H7704 D-NMS at the time appointed H4150 with David H1732 MMS , and a little H6996 AMS lad H5288 with H5973 PREP-3MS him .
36 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto his lad H5288 , Run H7323 , find out H4672 now H4994 IJEC the arrows H2671 which H834 RPRO I H595 PPRO-1MS shoot H3384 . And as the lad H5288 ran H7323 VQPMS , he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS shot H3384 VQQ3MS an arrow H2678 beyond H5674 him .
37 And when the lad H5288 was come H935 W-VQY3MS to H5704 PREP the place H4725 CMS of the arrow H2678 which H834 RPRO Jonathan H3083 had shot H3384 VQQ3MS , Jonathan H3083 cried H7121 W-VQY3MS after H310 PREP the lad H5288 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Is not H3808 D-NPAR the arrow H2678 beyond H1973 thee ?
38 And Jonathan H3083 cried H7121 W-VQY3MS after H310 PREP the lad H5288 , Make speed H2363 , haste H4120 , stay H5975 not H408 ADV . And Jonathan H3083 \'s lad H5288 gathered up H3950 the arrows H2678 , and came H935 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP his master H113 .
39 But the lad H5288 knew H3045 VQQ3MS not H3808 ADV any thing H3972 NMS : only H389 ADV Jonathan H3083 and David H1732 knew H3045 VQQ3MP the matter H1697 .
40 And Jonathan H3083 gave H5414 W-VQQ3MS his artillery H3627 unto H413 PREP his H834 RPRO lad H5288 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Go H1980 VQI2MS , carry H935 them to the city H5892 D-GFS .
41 And as soon as the lad H5288 was gone H935 VQPMS , David H1732 arose H6965 out of a place toward H681 the south H5045 D-NMS , and fell H5307 W-VQY3MS on his face H639 to the ground H776 NFS-3FS , and bowed himself H7812 three H7969 MFS times H6471 NFP : and they kissed H5401 one H376 NMS another H7453 NMS-3MS , and wept H1058 W-VQY3MP one H376 NMS with H854 another H7453 NMS-3MS , until H5704 PREP David H1732 MMS exceeded H1431 .
42 And Jonathan H3083 said H559 W-VQY3MS to David H1732 L-NAME , Go H1980 VQI2MS in peace H7965 , forasmuch as H834 RPRO we have sworn H7650 both H8147 of us H587 PPRO-1MP in the name H8034 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , The LORD H3068 EDS be H1961 VQY3MS between H996 W-PREP-1MS me and thee , and between H996 W-PREP my seed H2233 and thy seed H2233 CMS-2MS forever H5704 PREP . And he arose H6965 and departed H1980 VQI2MS : and Jonathan H3083 went H935 into the city H5892 .
