19
1And Sha’ul [desired] spoke to Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given] his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David [beloved].
2But Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given] Sha’ul’s [desired] son delighted much in David [beloved]: and Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given] told David [beloved], saying, Sha’ul [desired] my father seeks to kill youi: now therefore, I pray youi, take heed to yourself until the morning, and abide in a secret [place], and hide yourself:
3And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where youi [are], and I will commune with my father of youi; and what I see, that I will tell youi.
4And Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given] spoke good of David [beloved] unto Sha’ul [desired] his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David [beloved]; because he has not sinned against youi, and because his works [have been] to youi-ward (in custody, with a guard; prison) very good:
5For he did put his life in his hand, and killed the P’lishtim [immigrants], and the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) wrought a great salvation for all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: youi saw [it], and did rejoice: wherefore then will youi sin against innocent blood, to slay David [beloved] without a cause?
6And Sha’ul [desired] listened unto the voice of Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given]: and Sha’ul [desired] swore, [As] the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) lives, he shall not be slain.
7And Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given] called David [beloved], and Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given] showed him all those things. And Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given] brought David [beloved] to Sha’ul [desired], and he was in his presence, as in times past.
8And there was war again: and David [beloved] went out, and fought with the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.
9And the evil spirit from the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was upon Sha’ul [desired], as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David [beloved] played with [his] hand.
10And Sha’ul [desired] sought to strike David [beloved] even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away out of Sha’ul’s [desired] presence, and he struck the javelin into the wall: and David [beloved] fled, and escaped that night.
11Sha’ul [desired] also sent messengers unto David’s [beloved]’s house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Mikhal [who is like God?] David’s [beloved]’s wife told him, saying, If youi save not youi life tonight, tomorrow youi shall be slain.
12So Mikhal [who is like God?] let David [beloved] down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
13And Mikhal [who is like God?] took an image, and laid [it] in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ [hair] for his bolster (pillow; head - or other - support), and covered [it] with a cloth.
14And when Sha’ul [desired] sent messengers to take David [beloved], she said, He [is] sick.
15And Sha’ul [desired] sent the messengers [again] to see David [beloved], saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
16And when the messengers were come in, behold, [there was] an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats’ [hair] for his bolster (pillow; head - or other - support).
17And Sha’ul [desired] said unto Mikhal [who is like God?], Why have youi deceived me so, and sent away my enemy, that he is escaped? And Mikhal [who is like God?] answered Sha’ul [desired], He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill youi?
18So David [beloved] fled, and escaped, and came to Sh’mu’el [His name is El] to Ramah [Hill], and told him all that Sha’ul [desired] had done to him. And he and Sh’mu’el [His name is El] went and dwelt in Nayot [the prophet’s dormitory].
19And it was told Sha’ul [desired], saying, Behold, David [beloved] [is] at Nayot [the prophet’s dormitory] in Ramah [Hill].
20And Sha’ul [desired] sent messengers to take David [beloved]: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Sh’mu’el [His name is El] standing [as] appointed over them, the Spirit of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] was upon the messengers of Sha’ul [desired], and they also prophesied.
21And when it was told Sha’ul [desired], he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Sha’ul [desired] sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.
22Then went he also to Ramah [Hill], and came to a great well that [is] in Sekhu [the watch-tower]: and he asked and said, Where [are] Sh’mu’el [His name is El] and David [beloved]? And [one] said, Behold, [they be] at Nayot [the prophet’s dormitory] in Ramah [Hill].
23And he went there to Nayot [the prophet’s dormitory] in Ramah [Hill]: and the Spirit of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Nayot [the prophet’s dormitory] in Ramah [Hill].
24And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Sh’mu’el [His name is El] in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. For this reason they say, [Is] Sha’ul [desired] also among the prophets?
