1 Samuel 19
1 and to speak: speak Saul to(wards) Jonathan son: child his and to(wards) all servant/slave his to/for to die [obj] David and Jonathan son: child Saul to delight in in/on/with David much
Then Saul instructed his son Jonathan and all his officials to kill David. But Jonathan really liked David,
2 and to tell Jonathan to/for David to/for to say to seek Saul father my to/for to die you and now to keep: guard please in/on/with morning and to dwell in/on/with secrecy and to hide
so he warned him, “My father Saul is trying to kill you. So be careful tomorrow morning—find a place to hide and stay hidden.
3 and I to come out: come and to stand: stand to/for hand: to father my in/on/with land: country which you(m. s.) there and I to speak: speak in/on/with you to(wards) father my and to see: examine what? and to tell to/for you
I'll go out with my father and stand in the field near to where you are hiding. I'll talk to him about you and see what I can find out, then I'll let you know.”
4 and to speak: speak Jonathan in/on/with David pleasant to(wards) Saul father his and to say to(wards) him not to sin [the] king in/on/with servant/slave his in/on/with David for not to sin to/for you and for deed his pleasant to/for you much
Then Jonathan spoke positively about David to his father Saul, and told him, “The king should not do anything bad to his servant David because he's not done anything bad to you—he has always served you well.
5 and to set: take [obj] soul: life his in/on/with palm his and to smite [obj] [the] Philistine and to make: do LORD deliverance: salvation great: large to/for all Israel to see: see and to rejoice and to/for what? to sin in/on/with blood innocent to/for to die [obj] David for nothing
He took his life in his hands when he killed the Philistine, and the Lord brought about great salvation for the whole of Israel. You saw it and you were delighted, so why would you sin and spill innocent blood by killing David without having any reason?”
6 and to hear: hear Saul in/on/with voice Jonathan and to swear Saul alive LORD if: surely no to die
Saul accepted what Jonathan had to say, and promised with an oath: “I swear on the life of the Lord, he won't be put to death.”

Later Jonathan called David and told him all that had been said. Then he took him to Saul, and David worked for Saul as he had before.
8 and to add: again [the] battle to/for to be and to come out: come David and to fight in/on/with Philistine and to smite in/on/with them wound great: large and to flee from face: before his
War broke out once again, and David went to fight the Philistines. He attacked them so forcefully that they ran away in defeat.
9 and to be spirit LORD bad: harmful to(wards) Saul and he/she/it in/on/with house: home his to dwell and spear his in/on/with hand his and David to play in/on/with hand
A while later an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul while he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. As David played the lyre,
10 and to seek Saul to/for to smite in/on/with spear in/on/with David and in/on/with wall and to separate from face: before Saul and to smite [obj] [the] spear in/on/with wall and David to flee and to escape in/on/with night he/she/it
Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear. David managed to dodge the spear which embedded itself in the wall. Then David escaped and ran away into the night.
11 and to send: depart Saul messenger to(wards) house: home David to/for to keep: look at him and to/for to die him in/on/with morning and to tell to/for David Michal woman: wife his to/for to say if nothing you to escape [obj] soul: life your [the] night tomorrow you(m. s.) to die
Saul sent some messengers to David's house to keep watch and kill him in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, warned him, “If you don't get away tonight, tomorrow you'll be killed.”
12 and to go down Michal [obj] David about/through/for [the] window and to go: went and to flee and to escape
Michal lowered David down from a window, and he ran off, managing to escape.
13 and to take: take Michal [obj] [the] teraphim and to set: put to(wards) [the] bed and [obj] quilt [the] goat to set: put head his and to cover in/on/with garment
Then she took a home idol and laid it in the bed, put a goat hair wig on its head, and covered it with bedclothes.
14 and to send: depart Saul messenger to/for to take: take [obj] David and to say be weak: ill he/she/it
When Saul sent the messengers to arrest David, Michal told them, “He's sick.”
15 and to send: depart Saul [obj] [the] messenger to/for to see: see [obj] David to/for to say to ascend: rise [obj] him in/on/with bed to(wards) me to/for to die him
Saul sent the messengers back to see David, saying, “Bring him to me in the bed so I can kill him.”
16 and to come (in): come [the] messenger and behold [the] teraphim to(wards) [the] bed and quilt [the] goat head his
But when the messengers went into the bedroom, there was the idol in the bed with the goat hair wig on its head.
17 and to say Saul to(wards) Michal to/for what? thus to deceive me and to send: let go [obj] enemy my and to escape and to say Michal to(wards) Saul he/she/it to say to(wards) me to send: let go me to/for what? to die you
“Why did you trick me like this—helping my enemy get away so he could escape?” Saul asked Michal. “He told me, ‘Get out of my way! I don't want to have to kill you!’” Michal replied.
18 and David to flee and to escape and to come (in): come to(wards) Samuel [the] Ramah [to] and to tell to/for him [obj] all which to make: do to/for him Saul and to go: went he/she/it and Samuel and to dwell (in/on/with Naioth *Qk)
This is how David got away and escaped. He went to Samuel at Ramah and explained to him everything that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to stay in Naioth.
19 and to tell to/for Saul to/for to say behold David (in/on/with Naioth *Qk) in/on/with Ramah
When Saul got to hear that David was at Naioth in Ramah,
20 and to send: depart Saul messenger to/for to take: take [obj] David and to see: see [obj] company [the] prophet to prophesy and Samuel to stand: stand to stand upon them and to be upon messenger Saul spirit God and to prophesy also they(masc.)
he sent messengers to arrest him. But when they saw a group of prophets prophesying with Samuel leading out, the Spirit of God came on Saul's messengers and they started prophesying too.
21 and to tell to/for Saul and to send: depart messenger another and to prophesy also they(masc.) and to add: again Saul and to send: depart messenger third and to prophesy also they(masc.)
Saul was told what had happened, so he sent more messengers, and they started prophesying as well.
22 and to go: went also he/she/it [the] Ramah [to] and to come (in): come till pit [the] great: large which in/on/with Secu and to ask and to say where? Samuel and David and to say behold (in/on/with Naioth *Qk) in/on/with Ramah
For the third time Saul sent messengers, and they also started prophesying.
23 and to go: went there to(wards) (Naioth *Qk) in/on/with Ramah and to be upon him also he/she/it spirit God and to go: come to go: went and to prophesy till to come (in): come he (in/on/with Naioth *Qk) in/on/with Ramah
In the end Saul went himself to Ramah and arrived at the large cistern at Secu. “Where are Samuel and David?” he asked. “At Naioth in Ramah,” someone told him. So Saul went on to Naioth at Ramah, but the Spirit of God even came on him, and he was prophesying as he walked along until he arrived in Naioth.
24 and to strip also he/she/it garment his and to prophesy also he/she/it to/for face: before Samuel and to fall: fall naked all [the] day [the] he/she/it and all [the] night upon so to say also Saul in/on/with prophet
Then Saul also took off his clothes and he too prophesied in Samuel's presence. Then he fell down and lay there naked all that day and all that night. That's why it is said, “Is Saul one of the prophets too?”
