asv @1Samuel:19:1 @And Saul spake to Jonathan his son , and to all his servants , that they should slay David . But Jonathan , Saul 's son , delighted much in David . asv @1Samuel:19:2 @And Jonathan told David , saying , Saul my father seeketh to slay thee : now therefore , I pray thee , take heed to thyself in the morning , and abide in a secret place , and hide thyself : asv @1Samuel:19:3 @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 if I see aught , I will tell thee . asv @1Samuel:19:4 @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 : asv @1Samuel:19:5 @for he put his life in his hand , and smote the Philistine , and Jehovah wrought a great victory for all Israel : thou sawest it , and didst rejoice ; wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood , to slay David without a cause ? asv @1Samuel:19:6 @And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan : and Saul sware , As Jehovah liveth , he shall not be put to death . asv @1Samuel:19:7 @And Jonathan called David , and Jonathan showed him all those things . And Jonathan brought David to Saul , and he was in his presence , as beforetime . asv @1Samuel:19:8 @And there was war again : and David went out , and fought with the Philistines , and slew them with a great slaughter ; and they fled before him . asv @1Samuel:19:9 @And an evil spirit from Jehovah was upon Saul , as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand ; and David was playing with his hand . asv @1Samuel:19:10 @And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the spear ; but he slipped away out of Saul 's presence , and he smote the spear into the wall : and David fled , and escaped that night . asv @1Samuel:19:11 @And Saul 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 wilt be slain . asv @1Samuel:19:12 @So Michal let David down through the window : and he went , and fled , and escaped . asv @1Samuel:19:13 @And Michal took the teraphim , and laid it in the bed , and put a pillow of goats ' hair at the head thereof , and covered it with the clothes . asv @1Samuel:19:14 @And when Saul sent messengers to take David , she said , He is sick . asv @1Samuel:19:15 @And Saul sent the messengers to see David , saying , Bring him up to me in the bed , that I may slay him . asv @1Samuel:19:16 @And when the messengers came in , behold , the teraphim was in the bed , with the pillow of goats ' hair at the head thereof . asv @1Samuel:19:17 @And Saul said unto Michal , Why hast thou deceived me thus , and let mine enemy go , so that he is escaped ? And Michal answered Saul , He said unto me , Let me go ; why should I kill thee ? asv @1Samuel:19:18 @Now 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 . asv @1Samuel:19:19 @And it was told Saul , saying , Behold , David is at Naioth in Ramah . asv @1Samuel:19:20 @And Saul sent messengers to take David : and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying , and Samuel standing as head over them , the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul , and they also prophesied . asv @1Samuel:19:21 @And when it was told Saul , he sent other messengers , and they also prophesied . And Saul sent messengers again the third time , and they also prophesied . asv @1Samuel:19:22 @Then went he also to Ramah , and came to the great well that is in Secu : and he asked and said , Where are Samuel and David ? And one said , Behold , they are at Naioth in Ramah . asv @1Samuel:19:23 @And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah : and the Spirit of God came upon him also , and he went on , and prophesied , until he came to Naioth in Ramah . asv @1Samuel:19:24 @And he also stripped off his clothes , and he also prophesied before Samuel , and lay down naked all that day and all that night . Wherefore they say , Is Saul also among the prophets ?
