Saul Tries to Kill David

1 And 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. (1Sa 18:1) 2 And Jonathan told David, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Therefore be on your guard in the morning. 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 speak to 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, because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have brought good to you. (Ge 42:22) 5 For he took his life in his hand and he struck down the Philistine, and the Lord worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood by killing David without cause?” (Jud 9:17; Jud 12:3; 1Sa 11:13; 1Sa 17:49; 1Sa 28:21; 1Ch 11:14; Mt 27:4)

Jud 9:17Jud 12:31Sa 11:131Sa 17:491Sa 28:211Ch 11:14Mt 27:4

6 And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan. Saul swore, “As the Lord lives, he shall not be put to death.” (Ru 3:13) 7 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan reported to him all these things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before. (1Sa 16:21; 1Sa 18:2; 1Sa 18:13) 8 And there was war again. And David went out and fought with the Philistines and struck them with a great blow, so that they fled before him. 9 Then a harmful 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. (1Sa 16:14; 1Sa 16:16) 10 And Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he eluded Saul, so that he struck the spear into the wall. And David fled and escaped that night. (1Sa 18:11; 1Sa 20:33) 11 Saul sent messengers 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 escape with your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.” 12 So Michal let David down through the window, and he fled away and escaped. (Jos 2:15; Ac 9:24; 2Co 11:33) 13 Michal took an image^[1] and laid it on the bed and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head and covered it with the clothes. (Ge 31:19) 14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.” 15 Then Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.” 16 And when the messengers came in, behold, the image was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head. (1Sa 19:13) 17 Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me thus and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” And Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go. Why should I kill you?’” (2Sa 2:22) 18 Now David fled and escaped, and he came to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and lived at Naioth. (1Sa 1:19) 19 And it was told Saul, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.” 20 Then 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 upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied. (Nu 11:25; 1Sa 10:5; 1Sa 10:10; Joe 2:28)

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. (1Sa 19:20) 22 Then he himself went to Ramah and came to the great well that is in Secu. And he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” And one said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.” (1Sa 19:18) 23 And he went there to Naioth in Ramah. And the Spirit of God came upon him also, and as he went he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah. (1Sa 18:10) 24 And he too stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel and lay naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, “Is Saul also among the prophets?” (1Sa 10:11; 2Sa 6:20; Isa 20:2; Mic 1:8)

Bible Kralická

1 Mluvil pak Saul k Jonatovi synu svému a ke všechněm služebníkům svým, aby zamordovali Davida, ale Jonata syn Saulův liboval sobě Davida velmi. 2 I oznámil to Jonata Davidovi, řka: Usiluje Saul otec můj, aby tě zabil; protož nyní šetř se, prosím, až do jitra, a usadě se v skrytě, schovej se. 3 Ale jáť vyjdu a státi budu při boku otci svému na poli, kdež ty budeš, a budu mluviti o tobě s otcem svým, a čemuž vyrozumím, oznámím tobě. 4 I mluvil Jonata o Davidovi dobře Saulovi otci svému, a řekl: Nechť nehřeší král proti služebníku svému Davidovi, nebť jest nic tobě neprovinil, nýbrž správa jeho jest tobě velmi užitečná. 5 Nebo se opovážil života svého a zabil Filistinského, a učinil Hospodin vysvobození veliké všemu Izraeli. Viděls to a radoval jsi se. Pročež bys tedy hřešil proti krvi nevinné, chtěje zabiti Davida bez příčiny? 6 I uposlechl Saul řeči Jonatovy a přisáhl Saul, řka: Živť jest Hospodin, žeť nebude zabit. 7 Tedy Jonata povolal Davida, a oznámil jemu Jonata všecka slova tato. A přivedl Jonata Davida k Saulovi, i byl před ním jako i prvé. 8 Vznikla pak opět válka; a vytáh David, bojoval proti Filistinským, a porazil je porážkou velikou, a utekli před ním. 9 V tom duch Hospodinův zlý napadl Saule, kterýž v domě svém seděl, maje kopí své v ruce své, a David hrál rukou před ním. 10 Ale Saul chtěl prohoditi Davida kopím až do stěny; kterýž uhnul se mu, a udeřilo kopí v stěnu. A tak David utekl a vynikl z nebezpečenství té noci. 11 Potom poslal Saul posly k domu Davidovu, aby ho střáhli a zabili jej ráno. I oznámila to Davidovi Míkol manželka jeho, řkuci: Jestliže se neopatříš noci této, zítra zabit budeš. 12 A protož spustila Míkol Davida oknem, kterýž odšed, utekl a vynikl z nebezpečenství. 13 Vzala pak Míkol obraz a vložila na lůže, a polštář kozí položila v hlavách jeho a přikryla šaty. 14 Tedy Saul poslal posly, aby vzali Davida. I řekla: Jest nemocen. 15 Opět poslal Saul posly, aby pohleděli na Davida, řka: Přineste ho na lůži ke mně, ať ho zabiji. 16 A když přišli poslové, a aj, obraz ležel na lůži a polštář kozí v hlavách jeho. 17 I řekl Saul k Míkol: Proč jsi mne tak podvedla a pustilas nepřítele mého, aby ušel? Odpověděla Míkol Saulovi: On mi řekl: Propusť mne, sic jinak zabiji tě. 18 David tedy utíkaje, vynikl z nebezpečenství, a přišed k Samuelovi do Ráma, oznámil jemu všecko, co mu Saul učinil. I odšel on i Samuel, a bydlili v Náiot. 19 Oznámeno pak bylo Saulovi, řka: Aj, David jest v Náiot v Ráma. 20 I poslal Saul posly, aby jali Davida. Kteříž když viděli zástup proroků prorokujících, a Samuele jim představeného, an stojí, sstoupil také na posly Saulovy Duch Boží, a prorokovali i oni. 21 To když oznámili Saulovi, poslal jiné posly, a prorokovali také i oni; a opět poslal Saul třetí posly, a i ti prorokovali. 22 Šel tedy již sám do Ráma a přišel až k čisterni veliké, kteráž jest v Socho, a zeptal se, řka: Kde jest Samuel a David? I řekl někdo: Aj, jsou v Náiot v Ráma. 23 I šel tam do Náiot v Ráma; a sstoupil i na něj Duch Boží, a jda dále, prorokoval, až i přišel do Náiot v Ráma. 24 Kdežto svlékl také sám roucho své a prorokoval i on před Samuelem, a padna, ležel svlečený celý ten den a noc. Odkudž se říká: Zdali také Saul mezi proroky?
