Bible. Samuel, 1st
019:016 When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed,
with the pillow of goats' [hair] at the head of it.
019:017 Saul said to Michal, Why have you deceived me thus, and let my
enemy go, so that he is escaped? Michal answered Saul, He said
to me, Let me go; why should I kill you?
019:018 Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah,
and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel
went and lived in Naioth.
019:019 It was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.
019:020 Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company
of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head
over them, the Spirit of God came on the messengers of Saul,
and they also prophesied.
019:021 When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they
also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time,
and they also prophesied.
019:022 Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great well
that is in Secu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel
and David? One said, Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.
019:023 He went there to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God came
on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came
to Naioth in Ramah.
019:024 He also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied
before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night.
Therefore they say, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
020:001 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 your father, that he seeks my life?"
020:002 He said to him, "Far from it; you shall not die: behold, my father
does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it
to me; and why should my father hide this thing from me?
It is not so."
020:003 David swore moreover, and said, "Your father knows
well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says,
'Don't let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved:'
but truly as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, there is
but a step between me and death."
020:004 Then said Jonathan to David, "Whatever your soul desires,
I will even do it for you."
020:005 David said to Jonathan, "Behold, tomorrow is the new moon,
and I should not fail to dine with the king; but let me go,
that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening.
020:006 If your father miss me at all, then say, 'David earnestly
asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city;
for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.'
020:007 If he says, 'It is well;' your servant shall have peace:
but if he be angry, then know that evil is determined by him.
020:008 Therefore deal kindly with your servant; for you have
