1st Samuel Chapter 19 - King James Strong Number Version

1: And Saul <H7586> spake <H1696> to Jonathan <H3129> his son, <H1121> and to all his servants, <H5650> that they should kill <H4191> David. <H1732>
2: But Jonathan <H3083> Saul's <H7586> son <H1121> delighted <H2654> much <H3966> in David: <H1732> and Jonathan <H3083> told <H5046> David, <H1732> saying, <H0559> Saul <H7586> my father <H0001> seeketh <H1245> to kill <H4191> thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed <H8104> to thyself until the morning, <H1242> and abide <H3427> in a secret <H5643> [place], and hide <H2244> thyself:
3: And I will go out <H3318> and stand <H5975> beside <H3027> my father <H0001> in the field <H7704> where thou [art], and I will commune <H1696> with my father <H0001> of thee; and what <H4100> I see, <H7200> that I will tell <H5046> thee.
4: And Jonathan <H3083> spake <H1696> good <H2896> of David <H1732> unto Saul <H7586> his father, <H0001> and said <H0559> unto him, Let not the king <H4428> sin <H2398> against his servant, <H5650> against David; <H1732> because he hath not sinned <H2398> against thee, and because his works <H4639> [have been] to thee-ward very <H3966> good: <H2896>
5: For he did put <H7760> his life <H5315> in his hand, <H3709> and slew <H5221> the Philistine, <H6430> and the LORD <H3068> wrought <H6213> a great <H1419> salvation <H8668> for all Israel: <H3478> thou sawest <H7200> [it], and didst rejoice: <H8055> wherefore then wilt thou sin <H2398> against innocent <H5355> blood, <H1818> to slay <H4191> David <H1732> without a cause? <H2600>
6: And Saul <H7586> hearkened <H8085> unto the voice <H6963> of Jonathan: <H3083> and Saul <H7586> sware, <H7650> [As] the LORD <H3068> liveth, <H2416> he shall not <H0518> be slain. <H4191>
7: And Jonathan <H3083> called <H7121> David, <H1732> and Jonathan <H3083> shewed <H5046> him all those things. <H1697> And Jonathan <H3083> brought <H0935> David <H1732> to Saul, <H7586> and he was in his presence, <H6440> as in times past. <H0865> <H8032>
8: And there was war <H4421> again: <H3254> and David <H1732> went out, <H3318> and fought <H3898> with the Philistines, <H6430> and slew <H5221> them with a great <H1419> slaughter; <H4347> and they fled <H5127> from him. <H6440>
9: And the evil <H7451> spirit <H7307> from the LORD <H3068> was upon Saul, <H7586> as he sat <H3427> in his house <H1004> with his javelin <H2595> in his hand: <H3027> and David <H1732> played <H5059> with [his] hand. <H3027>
10: And Saul <H7586> sought <H1245> to smite <H5221> David <H1732> even to the wall <H7023> with the javelin; <H2595> but he slipped away <H6362> out of Saul's <H7586> presence, <H6440> and he smote <H5221> the javelin <H2595> into the wall: <H7023> and David <H1732> fled, <H5127> and escaped <H4422> that night. <H3915>
11: Saul <H7586> also sent <H7971> messengers <H4397> unto David's <H1732> house, <H1004> to watch <H8104> him, and to slay <H4191> him in the morning: <H1242> and Michal <H4324> David's <H1732> wife <H0802> told <H5046> him, saying, <H0559> If thou save <H4422> not thy life <H5315> to night, <H3915> to morrow <H4279> thou shalt be slain. <H4191>
12: So Michal <H4324> let David <H1732> down <H3381> through a window: <H2474> and he went, <H3212> and fled, <H1272> and escaped. <H4422>
13: And Michal <H4324> took <H3947> an image, <H8655> and laid <H7760> [it] in the bed, <H4296> and put <H7760> a pillow <H3523> of goats' <H5795> [hair] for his bolster, <H4763> and covered <H3680> [it] with a cloth. <H0899>
14: And when Saul <H7586> sent <H7971> messengers <H4397> to take <H3947> David, <H1732> she said, <H0559> He [is] sick. <H2470>
15: And Saul <H7586> sent <H7971> the messengers <H4397> [again] to see <H7200> David, <H1732> saying, <H0559> Bring him up <H5927> to me in the bed, <H4296> that I may slay <H4191> him.
16: And when the messengers <H4397> were come in, <H0935> behold, [there was] an image <H8655> in the bed, <H4296> with a pillow <H3523> of goats' <H5795> [hair] for his bolster. <H4763>
17: And Saul <H7586> said <H0559> unto Michal, <H4324> Why hast thou deceived <H7411> me so, and sent away <H7971> mine enemy, <H0341> that he is escaped? <H4422> And Michal <H4324> answered <H0559> Saul, <H7586> He said <H0559> unto me, Let me go; <H7971> why should I kill <H4191> thee?
18: So David <H1732> fled, <H1272> and escaped, <H4422> and came <H0935> to Samuel <H8050> to Ramah, <H7414> and told <H5046> him all that Saul <H7586> had done <H6213> to him. And he and Samuel <H8050> went <H3212> and dwelt <H3427> in Naioth. <H5121>
19: And it was told <H5046> Saul, <H7586> saying, <H0559> Behold, David <H1732> [is] at Naioth <H5121> in Ramah. <H7414>
20: And Saul <H7586> sent <H7971> messengers <H4397> to take <H3947> David: <H1732> and when they saw <H7200> the company <H3862> of the prophets <H5030> prophesying, <H5012> and Samuel <H8050> standing <H5975> [as] appointed <H5324> over them, the Spirit <H7307> of God <H0430> was upon the messengers <H4397> of Saul, <H7586> and they also prophesied. <H5012>
21: And when it was told <H5046> Saul, <H7586> he sent <H7971> other <H0312> messengers, <H4397> and they prophesied <H5012> likewise. And Saul <H7586> sent <H7971> messengers <H4397> again <H3254> the third <H7992> time, and they prophesied <H5012> also.
22: Then went <H3212> he also to Ramah, <H7414> and came <H0935> to a great <H1419> well <H0953> that [is] in Sechu: <H7906> and he asked <H7592> and said, <H0559> Where <H0375> [are] Samuel <H8050> and David? <H1732> And [one] said, <H0559> Behold, [they be] at Naioth <H5121> in Ramah. <H7414>
23: And he went <H3212> thither to Naioth <H5121> in Ramah: <H7414> and the Spirit <H7307> of God <H0430> was upon him also, and he went <H3212> on, <H1980> and prophesied, <H5012> until he came <H0935> to Naioth <H5121> in Ramah. <H7414>
24: And he stripped off <H6584> his clothes <H0899> also, <H1571> and prophesied <H5012> before <H6440> Samuel <H8050> in like manner, <H1571> and lay down <H5307> naked <H6174> all that day <H3117> and all that night. <H3915> Wherefore they say, <H0559> [Is] Saul <H7586> also among the prophets? <H5030>
