191 Samuel 19

1And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.Select 1 Samuel 19:1

2But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now, therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret [place], and hide thyself:Select 1 Samuel 19:2

3And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou [art], and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee.Select 1 Samuel 19:3

4And Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works [have been] toward thee very good:Select 1 Samuel 19:4

5For he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest [it], and didst rejoice: Why then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?Select 1 Samuel 19:5

6And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, [As] the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.Select 1 Samuel 19:6

7And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.Select 1 Samuel 19:7

8And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.Select 1 Samuel 19:8

9And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with [his] hand.Select 1 Samuel 19:9

10And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away from Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.Select 1 Samuel 19:10

11Saul also sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, If thou dost not save thy life to-night, to-morrow thou wilt be slain.Select 1 Samuel 19:11

12So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.Select 1 Samuel 19:12

13And Michal took an image, and laid [it] in the bed, and put a pillow of goat's [hair] for his bolster, and covered [it] with a cloth.Select 1 Samuel 19:13

14And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He [is] sick.Select 1 Samuel 19:14

15And Saul sent the messengers [again] to see David, saying, Bring him to me in the bed, that I may slay him.Select 1 Samuel 19:15

16And when the messengers had come in, behold, [there was] an image in the bed, with a pillow of goat's [hair] for his bolster.Select 1 Samuel 19:16

17And Saul said to Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away my enemy, that he has escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said to me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?Select 1 Samuel 19:17

18So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.Select 1 Samuel 19:18

19And it was told to Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] at Naioth in Ramah.Select 1 Samuel 19:19

20And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing [as] appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.Select 1 Samuel 19:20

21And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.Select 1 Samuel 19:21

22Then he went also to Ramah, and came to a great well that [is] in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? And [one] said, Behold, [they are] at Naioth in Ramah.Select 1 Samuel 19:22

23And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.Select 1 Samuel 19:23

24And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?Select 1 Samuel 19:24
