018:028 Saul saw and knew that Yahweh was with David;
and Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him.
018:029 Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was
David's enemy continually.
018:030 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth:
and it happened, as often as they went forth, that David
behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul;
so that his name was much set by.
019:001 Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants,
that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son,
delighted much in David.
019:002 Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeks to kill you:
now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning,
and live in a secret place, and hide yourself:
019:003 and I will go out and stand beside my father in the field
where you are, and I will commune with my father of you;
and if I see anything, I will tell you.
019:004 Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him,
Don't let the king sin against his servant, against David;
because he has not sinned against you, and because his works
have been very good toward you:
019:005 for he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine,
and Yahweh worked a great victory for all Israel: you saw it,
and did rejoice; why then will you sin against innocent blood,
to kill David without a cause?
019:006 Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore,
As Yahweh lives, he shall not be put to death.
019:007 Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things.
Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence,
as before.
019:008 There was war again: and David went out, and fought with
the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter;
and they fled before him.
019:009 An evil spirit from Yahweh was on Saul, as he sat in his house
with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
019:010 Saul sought to strike David even to the wall with the spear;
but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he struck
the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
019:011 Saul sent messengers to David's house, to watch him,
and to kill him in the morning: and Michal, David's wife,
told him, saying, If you don't save your life tonight,
tomorrow you will be slain.
019:012 So Michal let David down through the window: and he went,
and fled, and escaped.
019:013 Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put
a pillow of goats' [hair] at the head of it, and covered it
with the clothes.
019:014 When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
019:015 Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up
to me in the bed, that I may kill him.
