H9001–/וַ–v

And 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:

וַיְדַבֵּ֨ר (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

For 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?

וַיָּשֶׂם֩ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֣ךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֨עַשׂ (וַ) va “and”וַתִּשְׂמָ֑ח (וַ) va. “and”

And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.

וַיִּשְׁמַ֥ע (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשָּׁבַ֣ע (וַ) va “and”

And 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.

וַיִּקְרָ֤א (וַ) va “and”וַיַּגֶּד־ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֵ֨א (וַ) va “and”וַיְהִ֥י (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַתּ֥וֹסֶף (וַ) va. “and”וַיֵּצֵ֨א (וַ) va “and”וַיִּלָּ֣חֶם (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֤ךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּנֻ֖סוּ (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַתְּהִי֩ (וַ) va. “and”

And 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.

וַיְבַקֵּ֨שׁ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּפְטַר֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֥ךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּמָּלֵ֖ט (וַ) va “and”

Saul 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.

וַיִּשְׁלַח֩ (וַ) va “and”וַתַּגֵּ֣ד (וַ) va. “and”

So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.

וַתֹּ֧רֶד (וַ) va. “and”וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּבְרַ֖ח (וַ) va “and”וַיִּמָּלֵֽט׃ (וַ) va “and”

And 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.

וַתִּקַּ֨ח (וַ) va. “and”וַתָּ֙שֶׂם֙ (וַ) va. “and”וַתְּכַ֖ס (וַ) va. “and”

And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.

וַיִּשְׁלַ֥ח (וַ) va “and”וַתֹּ֖אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”

And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him to me in the bed, that I may slay him.

וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח (וַ) va “and”

And when the messengers had come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goat's hair for his bolster.

וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”

And 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?

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַתְּשַׁלְּחִ֥י (וַ) va. “and”וַיִּמָּלֵ֑ט (וַ) va “and”וַתֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”

So 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.

וַיִּמָּלֵ֗ט (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֹ֤א (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֨גֶּד־ (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּשְׁב֖וּ (וַ) va “and”

And it was told to Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.

וַיֻּגַּ֥ד (וַ) va “and”

And 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.

וַיִּשְׁלַ֨ח (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֗רְא (וַ) va “and”וַתְּהִ֞י (וַ) va. “and”וַיִּֽתְנַבְּא֖וּ (וַ) va “and”

And 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.

וַיַּגִּ֣דוּ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁלַח֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּֽתְנַבְּא֖וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣סֶף (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁלַח֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּֽתְנַבְּא֖וּ (וַ) va “and”

Then 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.

וַיֵּ֨לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֹא֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁאַ֣ל (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֔אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֕אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And 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.

וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”וַתְּהִי֩ (וַ) va. “and”וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּתְנַבֵּ֔א (וַ) va “and”

And 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?

וַיִּפְשַׁ֨ט (וַ) va “and”וַיִּתְנַבֵּ֤א (וַ) va “and”וַיִּפֹּ֣ל (וַ) va “and”

And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is my iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?

וַיִּבְרַ֣ח (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֹ֞א (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר׀ (וַ) va “and”

And he said to him, Far be it from thee; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing, either great or small, but that he will show it to me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And David swore moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he should be grieved: But truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.

וַיִּשָּׁבַ֨ע (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֛אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then said Jonathan to David, Whatever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”
