1. And Saul speaketh unto Jonathan his son, and unto all his servants, to put David to death,
|
1. And Saul H7586 spoke H1696 to H413 Jonathan H3083 his son H1121 , and to H413 all H3605 his servants H5650 , that they should kill H4191 H853 David H1732 .
|
|
2. 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,
|
2. But Jonathan H3083 Saul H7586 's 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 H6258 therefore , I pray thee H4994 , take heed to thyself H8104 until the morning H1242 , and abide H3427 in a secret H5643 place , and hide thyself H2244 :
|
|
3. 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.`
|
3. And I H589 will go out H3318 and stand H5975 beside H3027 my father H1 in the field H7704 where H834 H8033 thou H859 art , and I H589 will commune H1696 with H413 my father H1 of thee ; and what H4100 I see H7200 , that I will tell H5046 thee.
|
|
4. 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;
|
4. And Jonathan H3083 spoke H1696 good H2896 of David H1732 unto H413 Saul H7586 his father H1 , and said H559 unto H413 him , Let not H408 the king H4428 sin H2398 against his servant H5650 , against David H1732 ; because H3588 he hath not H3808 sinned H2398 against thee , and because H3588 his works H4639 have been to thee-ward very H3966 good H2896 :
|
|
5. 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?`
|
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 H3605 Israel H3478 : thou sawest H7200 it , and didst rejoice H8055 : wherefore H4100 then wilt thou sin H2398 against innocent H5355 blood H1818 , to slay H4191 H853 David H1732 without a cause H2600 ?
|
|
6. And Saul hearkeneth to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul sweareth, `Jehovah liveth -- he doth not die.`
|
6. And Saul H7586 hearkened H8085 unto the voice H6963 of Jonathan H3083 : and Saul H7586 swore H7650 , As the LORD H3068 liveth H2416 , he shall not H518 be slain H4191 .
|
|
7. 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.
|
7. And Jonathan H3083 called H7121 David H1732 , and Jonathan H3083 showed H5046 him H853 all H3605 those H428 things H1697 . And Jonathan H3083 brought H935 H853 David H1732 to H413 Saul H7586 , and he was H1961 in his presence H6440 , as in times past H8032 H865 .
|
|
8. 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.
|
8. And there was H1961 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 H4480 H6440 him.
|
|
9. 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,
|
9. And the evil H7451 spirit H7307 from the LORD H3068 was H1961 upon H413 Saul H7586 , as he H1931 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 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.
|
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 presence H4480 H6440 H7586 , and he smote H5221 H853 the javelin H2595 into the wall H7023 : and David H1732 fled H5127 , and escaped H4422 that H1931 night H3915 .
|
|
11. 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.`
|
11. Saul H7586 also sent H7971 messengers H4397 unto H413 David H1732 's house H1004 , to watch H8104 him , and to slay H4191 him in the morning H1242 : and Michal H4324 David H1732 's wife H802 told H5046 him, saying H559 , If H518 thou save H4422 not H369 H853 thy life H5315 tonight H3915 , tomorrow H4279 thou H859 shalt be slain H4191 .
|
|
12. And Michal causeth David to go down through the window, and he goeth on, and fleeth, and escapeth;
|
12. So Michal H4324 let David down H3381 H853 H1732 through H1157 a window H2474 : and he went H1980 , and fled H1272 , and escaped H4422 .
|
|
13. 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.
|
13. And Michal H4324 took H3947 H853 an image H8655 , and laid H7760 it in H413 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 Saul sendeth messengers to take David, and she saith, `He is sick.`
|
14. And when Saul H7586 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to take H3947 H853 David H1732 , she said H559 , He H1931 is sick H2470 .
|
|
15. And Saul sendeth the messengers to see David, saying, `Bring him up in the bed unto me,` -- to put him to death.
|
15. And Saul H7586 sent H7971 H853 the messengers H4397 again to see H7200 H853 David H1732 , saying H559 , Bring him up H5927 H853 to H413 me in the bed H4296 , that I may slay H4191 him.
|
|
16. And the messengers come in, and lo, the teraphim are on the bed, and the mattress of goats` hair, for his pillows.
|
16. And when the messengers H4397 were come in H935 , behold H2009 , there was an image H8655 in H413 the bed H4296 , with a pillow H3523 of goats H5795 ' hair for his bolster H4763 .
|
|
17. 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?`
|
17. And Saul H7586 said H559 unto H413 Michal H4324 , Why H4100 hast thou deceived H7411 me so H3602 , and sent away H7971 H853 mine enemy H341 , that he is escaped H4422 ? And Michal H4324 answered H559 H413 Saul H7586 , He H1931 said H559 unto H413 me , Let me go H7971 ; why H4100 should I kill H4191 thee?
|
|
18. 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.
|
18. So David H1732 fled H1272 , and escaped H4422 , and came H935 to H413 Samuel H8050 to Ramah H7414 , and told H5046 him H853 all H3605 that H834 Saul H7586 had done H6213 to him . And he H1931 and Samuel H8050 went H1980 and dwelt H3427 in Naioth H5121 .
|
|
19. And it is declared to Saul, saying, `Lo, David is in Naioth in Ramah.`
|
19. And it was told H5046 Saul H7586 , saying H559 , Behold H2009 , David H1732 is at Naioth H5121 in Ramah H7414 .
|
|
20. 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.
|
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 H1961 upon H5921 the messengers H4397 of Saul H7586 , and they H1992 also H1571 prophesied H5012 .
|
|
21. 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.
|
21. And when it was told H5046 Saul H7586 , he sent H7971 other H312 messengers H4397 , and they H1992 prophesied H5012 likewise H1571 . And Saul H7586 sent H7971 messengers H4397 again H3254 the third H7992 time , and they H1992 prophesied H5012 also H1571 .
|
|
22. 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.`
|
22. Then went H1980 he H1931 also H1571 to Ramah H7414 , and came H935 to H5704 a great H1419 well H953 that H834 is in Sechu H7906 : and he asked H7592 and said H559 , Where H375 are Samuel H8050 and David H1732 ? And one said H559 , Behold H2009 , they be at Naioth H5121 in Ramah H7414 .
|
|
23. 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,
|
23. And he went H1980 thither H8033 to H413 Naioth H5121 in Ramah H7414 : and the Spirit H7307 of God H430 was H1961 upon H5921 him H1931 also H1571 , and he went on H1980 H1980 , and prophesied H5012 , until H5704 he came H935 to Naioth H5121 in Ramah H7414 .
|
|
24. 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?`
|
24. And he H1931 stripped off H6584 his clothes H899 also H1571 , and prophesied H5012 before H6440 Samuel H8050 in like manner H1571 , and lay down H5307 naked H6174 all H3605 that H1931 day H3117 and all H3605 that night H3915 . Wherefore H5921 H3651 they say H559 , Is Saul H7586 also H1571 among the prophets H5030 ?
