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 has not sinned against thee; for also what he did was very advantageous to thee;

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

for he put his life in hand, and smote the Philistine, and Jehovah wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou didst see [ergänzt: it], and didst rejoice; why then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, in slaying David without 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, [ergänzt: As] Jehovah liveth, he shall not be put to death!

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

Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan declared to him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as previously.

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

And there was war again; and David went forth and fought with the Philistines, and smote them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.

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

And an evil spirit from Jehovah was upon Saul. And he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David played with his hand.

וַתְּהִי֩ (וַ) va. “and”

And Saul sought to smite David and 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.

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

And Saul 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 save not thy life to-night, to-morrow thou wilt be put to death.

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

And 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 the image, and laid it in the bed, and put the net of goats' [ergänzt: hair] at its head, and covered it with the coverlet.

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

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

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

And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may put him to death.

וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח (וַ) va “and”

And the messengers came in, and behold, the image was in the bed, and the net of goats' [ergänzt: hair] at its head.

וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”

Then Saul said to Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal said to Saul, He said to me, Let me go; why should I slay thee?

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

And 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 Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth by Ramah.

וַיֻּגַּ֥ד (וַ) va “and”

Then Saul sent messengers to take David; and they saw a company of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as president over them; and the Spirit of God came 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 it was told Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.

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 went he also to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Sechu; and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, at Naioth by 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 by Ramah; and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth by Ramah.

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

And he himself also stripped off his clothes, and prophesied, himself also, before Samuel, 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 by Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity, and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeks my life?

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

And he said to him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, and not apprise me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And David swore again and again, and said, Thy father certainly knows that I have found favour in thy sight: and he has thought, Jonathan shall not know this, lest he be grieved; but truly [ergänzt: as] Jehovah liveth, and [ergänzt: 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”

And Jonathan said to David, What thy soul may say, I will even do it for thee.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”
