H9002–/וְ–v

And it was clear to Saul that the Lord was with David; and he was loved by all Israel.

וּמִיכַ֥ל (וּ) u. “and”

And Saul gave orders to his son Jonathan and to all his servants to put David to death. But Saul's son Jonathan had great delight in David.

וְאֶל־ (וְ) ve. “and”וִיהֽוֹנָתָן֙ (וִ) vi. “and”

And Jonathan said to David, Saul, my father, is purposing your death: so now, take care in the morning, and keep yourself safe in a secret place:

וְעַתָּה֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

And I will go out and take my place by my father's side in the field near where you are; and I will get into talk with my father about you, and when I see how things are, I will give you word.

וַאֲנִ֨י (וַ) va. “and”וַאֲנִ֕י (וַ) va. “and”

And Jonathan gave his father Saul a good account of David, and said to him, Let not the king do wrong against his servant, against David; because he has done you no wrong, and all his acts have had a good outcome for you:

וְכִ֥י (וְ) ve. “and”

For he put his life in danger and overcame the Philistine, and the Lord gave all Israel salvation: you saw it and were glad: why then are you sinning against him who has done no wrong, desiring the death of David without cause?

וְלָ֤מָּה (וְ) ve. “and”

And an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul, when he was seated in his house with his spear in his hand; and David made music for him.

וְהוּא֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וַחֲנִית֖וֹ (וַ) va. “and”וְדָוִ֖ד (וְ) ve. “and”

And Saul would have sent his spear through him, pinning him to the wall, but he got away and the spear went into the wall: and that night David went in flight and got away.

וּבַקִּ֔יר (וּ) u. “and”וְדָוִ֛ד (וְ) ve. “and”

Then in that night Saul sent men to David's house to keep watch on him so as to put him to death in the morning: and David's wife Michal said to him, If you do not go away to a safe place tonight you will be put to death in the morning.

וְלַהֲמִית֖וֹ (וְ) ve. “and”

Then Michal took the image and put it in the bed, with a cushion of goat's hair at its head, and she put clothing over it.

וְאֵת֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

And when the men came in, there was the image in the bed, with the cushion of goat's hair at its head

וְהִנֵּ֥ה (וְ) ve. “and”וּכְבִ֥יר (וּ) u. “and”

So David went in flight and got away and came to Ramah, to Samuel, and gave him an account of all Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and were living in Naioth.

וְדָוִ֨ד (וְ) ve. “and”וּשְׁמוּאֵ֔ל (וּ) u. “and”

And Saul sent men to take David; and when they saw the band of prophets at work, with Samuel in his place at their head, the spirit of God came on Saul's men, and they became like prophets.

וּשְׁמוּאֵ֕ל (וּ) u. “and”

Then he himself went to Ramah, and came to the great water-spring in Secu; and questioning the people he said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, They are at Naioth in Ramah.

וְדָוִ֑ד (וְ) ve. “and”

And he took off his clothing, acting like a prophet before Samuel, and falling down he was stretched out, without his clothing, all that day and all that night. This is the reason for the saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?

וְכָל־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And David went in flight from Naioth in Ramah and came to Jonathan and said, What have I done? What is my crime and my sin against your father that he is attempting to take my life?

וּמֶֽה־ (וּ) u. “and”

And he said to him, Far be the thought: you will not be put to death: see, my father does nothing, great or small, without giving me word of it: would he keep this secret from me? It is not so.

וְלֹ֥א (וְ) ve. “and”וּמַדּוּעַ֩ (וּ) u. “and”

But David took his oath again and said, Your father sees that I am dear to you; so he says to himself, Let Jonathan have no idea of this, for it will be a grief to him; but as the Lord is living, and as your soul is living, there is only a step between m

וְאוּלָ֗ם (וְ) ve. “and”וְחֵ֣י (וְ) ve. “and”וּבֵ֥ין (וּ) u. “and”

Then Jonathan said to David, Whatever your desire is, I will do it for you.

וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה־ (וְ) ve. “so”

And David said to Jonathan, Tomorrow is the new moon, and I will not be seated with the king at his table: but let me go to a safe place in the country till the evening.

וְאָנֹכִ֛י (וְ) ve. “and”

If he says, It is well, your servant will be at peace: but if he is angry, then it will be clear to you that he has an evil purpose in mind against me.

וְאִם־ (וְ) ve. “and”

So, then, be kind to your servant; for you have been united with your servant in an agreement made before the Lord: but if there is any wrongdoing in me, put me to death yourself; why take me to your father?

וְאִם־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְעַד־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And Jonathan said, Do not have such a thought: for if I saw that my father was designing evil against you, would I not give you word of it?

וְלֹ֥א (וְ) ve. “and”

And Jonathan said to David, Come, let us go out into the country. And the two of them went out together into the open country.

וְנֵצֵ֣א (וְ) ve. “so”

And Jonathan said to David, May the Lord, the God of Israel, be witness; when I have had a chance of talking to my father, about this time tomorrow, if his feelings to David are good, will I not send and give you the news?

וְהִנֵּה־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְלֹֽא־ (וְ) ve. “and”
