Jonatán intercede por David
19 Saúl dijo a su hijo Jonatán y a todos sus siervos que dieran muerte a David(A); pero Jonatán, hijo de Saúl(B), apreciaba grandemente a David. 2 Y avisó Jonatán a David, diciendo: Saúl mi padre procura matarte. Ahora pues, te ruego que estés alerta por la mañana, y permanezcas en un lugar secreto y te escondas. 3 Yo saldré y me pondré al lado de mi padre en el campo donde tú te encuentres, y hablaré con mi padre de ti; si descubro[a] algo, te avisaré(C). 4 Entonces Jonatán habló bien de David a Saúl su padre(D), y le dijo: No peque el rey contra David su siervo, puesto que él no ha pecado contra ti, y puesto que sus hechos han sido de mucho beneficio[b] para ti(E). 5 Porque puso su vida en peligro[c] e hirió al filisteo(F), y el Señor trajo una gran liberación a todo Israel(G); tú lo viste y te regocijaste. ¿Por qué, pues, pecarás contra sangre inocente, dando muerte a David sin causa(H)? 6 Y escuchó Saúl la voz de Jonatán, y juró[d]: Vive el Señor que no morirá. 7 Entonces Jonatán llamó a David y le[e] comunicó todas estas palabras. Y Jonatán llevó a David ante Saúl, y estuvo en su presencia como antes(I).
8 Cuando hubo guerra de nuevo, David salió y peleó contra los filisteos, y los derrotó[f] con gran matanza, y huyeron delante de él. 9 Y vino[g] un espíritu malo de parte del Señor sobre Saúl(J); y estaba él sentado en su casa con su lanza en la mano(K) mientras David tocaba[h] el arpa(L). 10 Y trató Saúl de clavar a David en[i] la pared con la lanza, pero este se escurrió de la presencia de Saúl, y la lanza se clavó en la pared(M); David huyó y escapó aquella noche.
David salvado por Mical
11 Saúl envió mensajeros a la casa de David para vigilarle a fin de matarlo por la mañana(N); pero Mical, mujer de David, le avisó, diciendo: Si no pones a salvo tu vida esta noche, mañana te darán muerte. 12 Mical descolgó a David por una ventana, y él salió, huyó y escapó(O). 13 Y tomó Mical el ídolo doméstico[j](P) y lo puso en la cama, puso a su cabecera una almohada de pelo de cabra y lo cubrió con ropa. 14 Cuando Saúl envió mensajeros para llevarse a David, ella dijo: Está enfermo(Q). 15 Entonces Saúl envió mensajeros a ver a David, diciendo: Traédmelo en la cama, para que yo lo mate. 16 Cuando los mensajeros entraron, he aquí, el ídolo doméstico[k] estaba sobre la cama con la almohada de pelo de cabra a su cabecera. 17 Y Saúl dijo a Mical: ¿Por qué me has engañado de esta manera y has dejado ir a mi enemigo, de modo que ha escapado? Y Mical dijo a Saúl: Él me dijo: «Déjame ir, porque si no te mato(R)».
18 Huyó, pues, David y escapó, y fue a donde estaba Samuel en Ramá(S), y le contó todo lo que Saúl le había hecho. Y él y Samuel fueron y se quedaron en Naiot(T). 19 Y se le informó a Saúl diciendo: He aquí, David está en Naiot, en Ramá. 20 Saúl envió mensajeros para llevarse a David(U), pero cuando vieron al grupo de los profetas profetizando(V), y a Samuel de pie presidiéndolos, el Espíritu de Dios vino sobre los mensajeros de Saúl, y ellos también profetizaron(W). 21 Cuando se lo dijeron a Saúl, envió otros mensajeros, y también ellos profetizaron. Y por tercera vez Saúl envió mensajeros, y ellos también profetizaron. 22 Entonces él mismo fue a Ramá, y llegó hasta el pozo grande que está en Secú; y preguntó, diciendo: ¿Dónde están Samuel y David? Y alguien dijo: He aquí, están en Naiot en Ramá. 23 Y él prosiguió[l] hasta Naiot en Ramá; y vino también el Espíritu de Dios sobre él, e iba profetizando continuamente hasta llegar a Naiot en Ramá(X). 24 Se quitó además la ropa, también profetizó delante de Samuel, y estuvo echado[m] desnudo[n] todo aquel día y toda la noche(Y). Por lo que suele decirse: ¿También está Saúl entre los profetas(Z)?

Saul tries to kill David
19 Saul told his son Jonathan and all his servants to kill David. But Jonathan liked David very much. 2 So he told David, ‘My father Saul is trying to kill you. Be careful tomorrow morning. Hide in a secret place and stay there. 3 I will go out with my father. I will stand with him in the field where you are hiding. I will talk to him about you. Then I will tell you what he says.’
4 Jonathan spoke to his father Saul. He said good things about David. He said to Saul, ‘The king should not do anything bad against David. David is your servant. He has not done anything that is bad against you. Everything that he does really helps you. 5 David was not afraid to die when he fought against the Philistine, Goliath. When David killed Goliath, the Lord helped Israel to win a great battle. When you saw it, you were very happy. So why do you now want to kill David? He is not guilty of anything that is wrong. You have no reason to kill him.’
6 Saul agreed with Jonathan. He made a promise in the Lord's name that he would not kill David. 7 Then Jonathan called to David. He told David everything that the king had said. Jonathan took David back to Saul. So David served King Saul as he had done before.
8 The war with the Philistines started again. David went out with his soldiers to fight against them. He attacked them so strongly that the Philistine soldiers ran away.
9 Then the Lord caused an evil spirit to control Saul. Saul was sitting in his house. He had a spear in his hand. David was making music with his harp. 10 Saul threw his spear at David. He wanted to fix David to the wall. But David moved out of the way and the spear hit the wall. That night, David ran away to escape from Saul.
11 Saul sent some of his servants to watch David's house. Saul told them to kill David when he came out in the morning. But David's wife Michal warned him. She said, ‘You must run away tonight. If you do not escape, tomorrow you will die!’ 12 So Michal helped David to leave the house through a window. He ran away and he escaped.
13 Then Michal took an idol and she put it on the bed. She covered the idol with a blanket and she put a pillow of goat's hair at its head.
14 Saul sent some of his men to take hold of David. Michal told them that David was ill. 15 Saul then told the men to go back to David's house. He said to them, ‘Bring David to me on his bed. Then I will kill him.’ 16 The men returned to David's house. They found the idol on the bed and the pillow of goat's hair at its head.
17 Saul said to Michal, ‘You have deceived me! You have helped my enemy to escape!’ Michal said to him, ‘David told me that I must help him to escape. He said that he would kill me if I did not help him.’
18 David ran away and he escaped from Saul. He went to visit Samuel at Ramah. David told Samuel everything that Saul had done to him. Then David and Samuel went to live in Naioth.[a]
19 Somebody told Saul that David was living at Naioth in Ramah. 20 So Saul sent men to take hold of David. When the men arrived, they saw a group of prophets. Samuel was their leader. They were all prophesying. Then the Spirit of God came on Saul's men. They also started to prophesy. 21 When people told Saul about this, he sent more men to Naioth. But they prophesied too. So Saul sent a third group of men. These men also started to prophesy.
22 Then Saul himself went to Ramah. He went as far as the large well at Secu. He asked the people, ‘Where are Samuel and David?’ The people replied, ‘They are at Naioth in Ramah.’
23 Saul went to Naioth. The Spirit of God came on him also. He started to prophesy as he walked towards Naioth. 24 When he met Samuel, he took off his clothes and he continued to prophesy. He lay on the ground with no clothes all that day and all that night. So people still say, ‘Has Saul really become one of the prophets?’

Saul Tries to Kill David
19 Saul told his son Jonathan(A) and all the attendants to kill(B) David. But Jonathan had taken a great liking to David 2 and warned him, “My father Saul is looking for a chance to kill you. Be on your guard tomorrow morning; go into hiding(C) and stay there. 3 I will go out and stand with my father in the field where you are. I’ll speak(D) to him about you and will tell you what I find out.”
4 Jonathan spoke(E) well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king do wrong(F) to his servant David; he has not wronged you, and what he has done has benefited you greatly. 5 He took his life(G) in his hands when he killed the Philistine. The Lord won a great victory(H) for all Israel, and you saw it and were glad. Why then would you do wrong to an innocent(I) man like David by killing him for no reason?”
6 Saul listened to Jonathan and took this oath: “As surely as the Lord lives, David will not be put to death.”
7 So Jonathan called David and told him the whole conversation. He brought him to Saul, and David was with Saul as before.(J)
8 Once more war broke out, and David went out and fought the Philistines. He struck them with such force that they fled before him.
9 But an evil[a] spirit(K) from the Lord came on Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. While David was playing the lyre,(L) 10 Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear, but David eluded(M) him as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David made good his escape.
11 Saul sent men to David’s house to watch(N) it and to kill him in the morning.(O) But Michal, David’s wife, warned him, “If you don’t run for your life tonight, tomorrow you’ll be killed.” 12 So Michal let David down through a window,(P) and he fled and escaped. 13 Then Michal took an idol(Q) and laid it on the bed, covering it with a garment and putting some goats’ hair at the head.
14 When Saul sent the men to capture David, Michal said,(R) “He is ill.”
15 Then Saul sent the men back to see David and told them, “Bring him up to me in his bed so that I may kill him.” 16 But when the men entered, there was the idol in the bed, and at the head was some goats’ hair.
17 Saul said to Michal, “Why did you deceive me like this and send my enemy away so that he escaped?”
Michal told him, “He said to me, ‘Let me get away. Why should I kill you?’”
18 When David had fled and made his escape, he went to Samuel at Ramah(S) and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there. 19 Word came to Saul: “David is in Naioth at Ramah”; 20 so he sent men to capture him. But when they saw a group of prophets(T) prophesying, with Samuel standing there as their leader, the Spirit of God came on(U) Saul’s men, and they also prophesied.(V) 21 Saul was told about it, and he sent more men, and they prophesied too. Saul sent men a third time, and they also prophesied. 22 Finally, he himself left for Ramah and went to the great cistern at Seku. And he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?”
“Over in Naioth at Ramah,” they said.
23 So Saul went to Naioth at Ramah. But the Spirit of God came even on him, and he walked along prophesying(W) until he came to Naioth. 24 He stripped(X) off his garments, and he too prophesied in Samuel’s(Y) presence. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why people say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”(Z)
