Jonathan Intercedes for David

19Saul spoke with his son Jonathan and with all his servants about killing David. But Saul's son Jonathan took great delight in David.H7586H1696H3129H1121H5650H4191H1732 2Jonathan told David, "My father Saul is trying to kill you; therefore be on guard tomorrow morning; stay in a secret place and hide yourself.H3083H7586H1121H2654H3966H1732H3083H5046H1732H559H7586H1H1245H4191H8104H1242H3427H5643H2244 3I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak to my father about you; if I learn anything I will tell you."H3318H5975H3027H1H7704H1696H1H4100H7200H5046 4Jonathan spoke well of David to his father Saul, saying to him, "The king should not sin against his servant David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have been of good service to you;H3083H1696H2896H1732H7586H1H559H4428H2398H5650H1732H2398H4639H3966H2896 5for he took his life in his hand when he attacked the Philistine, and the LORD brought about a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced; why then will you sin against an innocent person by killing David without cause?"H7760H5315H3709H5221H6430H3068H6213H1419H8668H3478H7200H8055H2398H5355H1818H4191H1732H2600 6Saul heeded the voice of Jonathan; Saul swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death."H7586H8085H6963H3083H7586H7650H3068H2416H518H4191 7So Jonathan called David and related all these things to him. Jonathan then brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.H3083H7121H1732H3083H5046H1697H3083H935H1732H7586H6440H865H8032 8Again there was war, and David went out to fight the Philistines. He launched a heavy attack on them, so that they fled before him.H4421H3254H1732H3318H3898H6430H5221H1419H4347H5127H6440 9Then an evil spirit from the LORD came upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand, while David was playing music.H7451H7307H3068H7586H3427H1004H2595H3027H1732H5059H3027 10Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear; but he eluded Saul, so that he struck the spear into the wall. David fled and escaped that night.H7586H1245H5221H1732H7023H2595H6362H7586H6440H5221H2595H7023H1732H5127H4422H3915 11Saul sent messengers to David's house to keep watch over him, planning to kill him in the morning. David's wife Michal told him, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed."H7586H7971H4397H1732H1004H8104H4191H1242H4324H1732H802H5046H559H4422H5315H3915H4279H4191 12So Michal let David down through the window; he fled away and escaped.H4324H3381H1732H3381H2474H3212H1272H4422 13Michal took an idol and laid it on the bed; she put a net of goats' hair on its head, and covered it with the clothes.H4324H3947H8655H7760H4296H7760H3523H5795H4763H3680H899 14When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, "He is sick."H7586H7971H4397H3947H1732H559H2470 15Then Saul sent the messengers to see David for themselves. He said, "Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him."H7586H7971H4397H7200H1732H559H5927H4296H4191 16When the messengers came in, the idol was in the bed, with the covering of goats' hair on its head.H4397H935H8655H4296H3523H5795H4763 17Saul 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?'"H7586H559H4324H7411H7971H341H4422H4324H559H7586H559H7971H4191 18Now David fled and escaped; he came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and settled at Naioth.H1732H1272H4422H935H8050H7414H5046H7586H6213H8050H3212H3427H5121 19Saul was told, "David is at Naioth in Ramah."H5046H7586H559H1732H5121H7414 20Then Saul sent messengers to take David. When they saw the company of the prophets in a frenzy, with Samuel standing in charge of them, the spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also fell into a prophetic frenzy.H7586H7971H4397H3947H1732H7200H3862H5030H5012H8050H5975H5324H7307H430H4397H7586H5012 21When Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they also fell into a frenzy. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also fell into a frenzy.H5046H7586H7971H312H4397H5012H7586H7971H4397H3254H7992H5012 22Then he himself went to Ramah. He came to the great well that is in Secu; he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And someone said, "They are at Naioth in Ramah."H3212H7414H935H1419H953H7906H7592H559H375H8050H1732H559H5121H7414 23He went there, toward Naioth in Ramah; and the spirit of God came upon him. As he was going, he fell into a prophetic frenzy, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.H3212H5121H7414H7307H430H3212H1980H5012H935H5121H7414 24He too stripped off his clothes, and he too fell into a frenzy before Samuel. He lay naked all that day and all that night. Therefore it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"H6584H899H1571H5012H6440H8050H5307H6174H3117H3915H559H7586H5030
