*
And 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 .
*
And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father ,
and said unto him ,
Let not the king sin against his servant ,
against David ;
because he hath not sinned against thee ,
and because his works have been to thee-ward very good :
*
For he did 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 :
wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood ,
to slay David without a cause ?
*
And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan :
and Saul sware ,
As the LORD liveth ,
he shall not be slain .
*
And Jonathan called David ,
and Jonathan shewed him all those things .
And Jonathan brought David to Saul ,
and he was in his presence ,
as in times past .
*
And 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 .
*
And 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 .
*
And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin ;
but he slipped away out of Saul '
s presence ,
and he smote the javelin into the wall :
and David fled ,
and escaped that night .
*
Saul also sent messengers unto David '
s house ,
to watch him ,
and to slay him in the morning :
and Michal David '
s wife told him ,
saying ,
If thou save not thy life to night ,
to morrow thou shalt be slain .
*
So Michal let David down through a window :
and he went ,
and fled ,
and escaped .
*
And Michal took an image ,
and laid it in the bed ,
and put a pillow of goats '
hair for his bolster ,
and covered it with a cloth .
*
And when Saul sent messengers to take David ,
she said ,
He is sick .
*
And Saul sent the messengers again to see David ,
saying ,
Bring him up to me in the bed ,
that I may slay him .
