* But Jonathan Sauls 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 : * 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 Yisra #el #: 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 Sha #uwl #, and he was in his presence , as in times past #H8032 . * 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 Sha #uwl #, 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 Sauls presence , and he smote the javelin into the wall : and David fled , and escaped that night . * Saul also sent messengers unto Davids house , to watch him , and to slay him in the morning : and Michal Davids wife told him , saying , If thou save not thy life to night , to morrow thou shalt be slain .
