1 Samuel, Chapter 19

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^a Lit seefind 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^b Lit goodbeneficial 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.	1 Sa1 18:8 Sa1 18:9 Sa1 18:1-3 3 Sa1 20:9 Sa1 20:13 4 Sa1 20:32 Pro 31:8 Pro 31:9 Gen 42:22 Pro 17:13 Jer 18:20 5 Jdg 9:17 Sa1 17:49 Sa1 17:50 Sa1 28:21 Psa 119:109 Sa1 11:13 Ch1 11:14 Deu 19:10-13 Sa1 20:32 Psa 94:21 Mat 27:4 7 Sa1 16:21 Sa1 18:2 Sa1 18:10 Sa1 18:13
⁸ When there was war again, David went out and fought with the Philistines and^c Lit smotedefeated 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^d Lit strike David and the wallpin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, so that he^e Lit struckstuck the spear into the wall. And David fled and escaped that night.	9 Sa1 16:14 Sa1 18:10 Sa1 18:11 Sa1 18:10 Sa1 16:16 10 Sa1 18:11 Sa1 20:33 Pro 1:16
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^f Heb teraphimhousehold 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^g Lit thehis bed, that I may put him to death.” ¹⁶ When the messengers entered, behold, the^h Heb teraphimhousehold 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?’”	11 Jdg 16:2 Psa 59 12 Jos 2:15 Act 9:25 Co2 11:33 13 Gen 31:19 Jdg 18:14 Jdg 18:17 14 Jos 2:5 17 Sa2 2:22
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 Heⁱ Lit wentproceeded 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^j Lit felllay down^k I.e. without outward garmentsnaked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”	18 Sa1 7:17 Sa1 19:22 Sa1 19:23 20 Sa1 19:11 Sa1 19:14 Joh 7:32 Sa1 10:5 Sa1 10:6 Sa1 10:10 Num 11:25 Joe 2:28 23 Sa1 10:10 24 Sa2 6:20 Isa 20:2 Mic 1:8 Sa1 10:10-12
