1 Samuel 19
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
19 Now Saul told Jonathan his son and all his servants that they must kill David.
2 But Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted much in David, and he told David, Saul my father is seeking to kill you. Now therefore, take heed to yourself in the morning, and stay in a secret place and hide yourself.
3 And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are; and I will converse with my father about you and if I learn anything, I will tell you.
4 And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, Let not the king sin against his servant David, for he has not sinned against you, and his deeds have been of good service to you.
5 For he took his life in his hands and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great deliverance for all Israel; you saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood and kill David without a cause?
6 Saul heeded Jonathan and swore, As the Lord lives, David shall not be slain.
7 So Jonathan called David and told him all these things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as in times past.
8 Then there was war again, and David went out and fought with the Philistines, and made a great slaughter among them and they fled before him.
9 Then an evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing [the lyre] with his hand.
10 Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away, so that Saul struck the spear into the wall. Then David fled and escaped that night.
11 Saul sent messengers that night to David’s house to watch him, that he might kill him in the morning. But Michal, David’s wife, told him, If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.
12 So Michal let David down through the window, and he fled and escaped.
13 And Michal took the teraph (household good luck image) and laid it in the bed, put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head, and covered it with a bedspread.
14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
15 Then Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
16 And when the messengers came in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats’ hair at its head.
17 Saul said to Michal, Why have you deceived me so and sent away my enemy so that he has escaped? Michal answered Saul, He said to me, Let me go. Why should I kill you?
18 So David fled and escaped and came to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
19 And it was told Saul, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.
20 And Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul and they also prophesied.
21 When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
22 Then Saul himself went to Ramah and came to a great well that is in Secu; and he asked, Where are Samuel and David? And he was told, They are at Naioth in Ramah.
23 So he went on to Naioth in Ramah; and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and as he went on he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 He took off his royal robes and prophesied before Samuel and lay down stripped thus all that day and night. So they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?(A)

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
David Delivered from Saul
19 Saul ordered his son Jonathan and all his servants to kill David.(A) But Saul’s son Jonathan liked David very much,(B) 2 so he told him, ‘My father, Saul, intends to kill you. Be on your guard in the morning and hide in a secret place and stay there. 3 I’ll go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are and talk to him about you. When I see what he says, I’ll tell you.’(C)
4 Jonathan spoke well of David to his father, Saul. He said to him, ‘The king should not sin against his servant David.(D) He hasn’t sinned against you; in fact, his actions have been a great advantage to you. 5 He took his life in his hands when he struck down the Philistine,(E) and the Lord brought about a great victory for all Israel.(F) You saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason? ’(G)
6 Saul listened to Jonathan’s advice and swore an oath: ‘As surely as the Lord lives, David will not be killed.’ 7 So Jonathan summoned David and told him all these words. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he served him as he did before.(H)
8 When war broke out again, David went out and fought against the Philistines. He defeated them with such great force that they fled from him.
9 Now an evil spirit sent from the Lord(I) came on Saul as he was sitting in his palace holding a spear.(J) David was playing the lyre,(K) 10 and Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear.(L) As the spear struck the wall, David eluded Saul, ran away, and escaped that night. 11 Saul sent agents to David’s house to watch for him and kill him in the morning.(M) But his wife Michal(N) warned David, ‘If you don’t escape tonight, you will be dead tomorrow! ’ 12 So she lowered David from the window, and he fled and escaped.(O) 13 Then Michal took the household idol and put it on the bed, placed some goat hair on its head, and covered it with a garment. 14 When Saul sent agents to seize David, Michal said, ‘He’s ill.’(P)
15 Saul sent the agents back to see David and said, ‘Bring him on his bed so I can kill him.’ 16 When the agents arrived, to their surprise, the household idol was on the bed with some goat hair on its head.
17 Saul asked Michal, ‘Why did you deceive me like this? You sent my enemy away, and he has escaped! ’
She answered him, ‘He said to me, “Let me go! Why should I kill you? ” ’
18 So David fled and escaped and went to Samuel at Ramah(Q) and told him everything Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel left and stayed at Naioth.(R)
19 When it was reported to Saul that David was at Naioth in Ramah, 20 he sent agents to seize David.(S) However, when they saw the group of prophets prophesying(T) with Samuel leading them, the Spirit of God came on Saul’s agents, and they also started prophesying. 21 When they reported to Saul, he sent other agents, and they also began prophesying.(U) So Saul tried again and sent a third group of agents, and even they began prophesying. 22 Then Saul himself went to Ramah. He came to the large cistern at Secu and asked, ‘Where are Samuel and David? ’
‘At Naioth in Ramah,’ someone said.
23 So he went to Naioth in Ramah. The Spirit of God also came on him,(V) and as he walked along, he prophesied until he entered Naioth in Ramah. 24 Saul then removed his clothes and also prophesied before Samuel; he collapsed and lay naked(W) all that day and all that night. That is why they say, ‘Is Saul also among the prophets? ’(X)
Първо Царе 19
1940 Bulgarian Bible
19 Между това Саул каза на сина си Ионатана и на всичките си служители да убият Давида.
2 Но Сауловият син Ионатан се радваше много на Давида, казвайки: Баща ми Саул търси случай да те убие; и тъй, пази се, моля, до утре, и стой на тайно място и крий се;
3 а аз ще изляза и ще застана при баща си на нивата, гдето ще бъдеш ти, и ще говоря с баща си за тебе; и ако видя нещо, ще ти известя.
4 И Ионатан говори добре за Давида на баща си Саула, като му каза: Да не съгреши царят против слугата си, против Давида; понеже не ти е съгрешил, и делата му са били много полезни за тебе;
5 защото изложи живота си на опасност та уби филистимеца, и Господ извърши голямо избавление за целия Израил. Ти видя и се зарадва; защо, прочее, искаш да съгрешиш против невинна кръв, като убиеш Давида без причина?
6 И Саул послуша Ионатановите думи; и Саул се закле в живота на Господа: <Давид> няма да бъде убит.
7 Тогава Ионатан повика Давида и му извести всичко това. И Ионатан доведе Давида при Саула; <и> той стоеше пред него както по-напред.
8 И пак избухна война; и Давид излезе та се би с филистимците, и порази ги с голямо клане, и те бягаха пред него.
9 А злият дух от Господа дойде върху Саула като седеше в къщата си с копието си в ръка; а Давид свиреше с ръката си.
10 И Саул поиска да закове Давида с копието до стената; но той се отклони от Сауловото присъствие, и <Саул> удари копието в стената; а Давид побягна та се избави през оная нощ.
11 Тогава Саул изпрати човеци в дома на Давида, за да го дебнат и да го убият на утринта; а Михала, жената на Давида, му извести, казвайки: Ако не избавиш живота си тая нощ, утре ще бъдеш убит.
12 И Михала спусна Давида през прозореца; и той отиде, побягна и се избави.
13 Тогава Михала взе един домашен идол та го положи на леглото; тури под главата му възглавница от козина, и покри го с дреха.
14 И когато Саул прати човеци, за да хванат Давида, тя рече: Болен е.
15 Но Саул <пак> прати човеците, за да видят Давида, и каза: Донесете ми го на леглото, за да го убия.
16 А когато влязоха човеците, ето домашният идол беше на леглото с възглавница от козина под главата му.
17 И Саул каза на Михала: Ти защо ме излъга така, и пусна врага ми та се отърва? И Михала отговори на Саула: Той ми рече: Пусни ме, защо да те убия?
18 Така Давид побягна и се отърва; и дойде при Самуила в Рама та му извести всичко, що му беше сторил Саул. Тогава той и Самуил отидоха та седяха в Навиот.
19 След това, известиха на Саула, казвайки: Ето, Давид е в Навиот у Рама.
20 И Саул прати човеци да хванат Давида; но като видяха дружината на пророците, че пророкуваха, със Самуила началствувайки над тях, Божият Дух дойде на Сауловите пратеници, та пророкуваха и те.
21 И като се извести това на Саула, той прати още човеци; но и те пророкуваха. И пак трети път Саул прати човеци; но и те пророкуваха.
22 Тогава и сам той отиде в Рама; и като стигна до големия кладенец в Сокхо, попита казвайки: Где са Самуил и Давид? И казаха: Ето, те са в Навиот у Рама.
23 И отиде там към Навиот у Рама; и Божият Дух дойде и на него, та като вървеше по пътя пророкуваше, докато стигна в Навиот у Рама.
24 Съблече и той дрехите си, и пророкуваше и той пред Самуила, и лежеше гол през целия онзи ден и цялата оная нощ. Затова казват: И Саул ли е между пророците?
