1 Samuel 19:9-24

9Now there was 1an evilH7451 spiritH7307 from the LordH3068 on SaulH7586 as he was sittingH3427 in his houseH1004 2with his spearH2595 in his handH3027, 3and DavidH1732 was playingH5059 the harp with his handH3027. 104SaulH7586 triedH1245 to 5pinH5221 DavidH1732 to the wallH7023 with the spearH2595, but he slippedH6362 awayH6362 out of Saul’sH7586 presenceH6440, so that he 6stuckH5221 the spearH2595 into the wallH7023. And DavidH1732 fledH5127 and escapedH4422 that nightH3915.

11Then 7SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to David’sH1732 houseH1004 to watchH8104 him, in order to putH4191 him to deathH4191 in the morningH1242. But MichalH4324, David’sH1732 wifeH802, toldH5046 him, sayingH559, “IfH518 you do not saveH4422 your lifeH5315 tonightH3915, tomorrowH4279 you will be putH4191 to deathH4191.” 128So MichalH4324 letH3381 DavidH1732 downH3381 throughH1157 a windowH2474, and he wentH1980 out and fledH1272 and escapedH4422. 13MichalH4324 tookH3947 9the 10householdH8655 idolH8655 and laidH7760 it on the bedH4296, and putH7760 a quiltH3523 of goats’H5795 hair at its headH4763, and coveredH3680 it with clothesH899. 14When SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to takeH3947 DavidH1732, she saidH559, “11He is sickH2470.” 15Then SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to seeH7200 DavidH1732, sayingH559, “BringH5927 him up to me on 12his bedH4296, that I may putH4191 him to deathH4191.” 16When the messengersH4397 enteredH935, beholdH2009, the 13householdH8655 idolH8655 was on the bedH4296 with the quiltH3523 of goats’H5795 hair at its headH4763. 17So SaulH7586 saidH559 to MichalH4324, “WhyH4100 have you deceivedH7411 me likeH3602 thisH3602 and letH7971 my enemyH340 goH7971, so that he has escapedH4422?” And MichalH4324 saidH559 to SaulH7586, “He saidH559 to me, ‘LetH7971 me goH7971! 14WhyH4100 should I putH4191 you to deathH4191?’”

18Now DavidH1732 fledH1272 and escapedH4422 and cameH935 15to SamuelH8050 at RamahH7414, and toldH5046 him allH3605 that SaulH7586 had doneH6213 to him. And he and SamuelH8050 wentH1980 and stayedH3427 in 16NaiothH5121. 19It was toldH5046 SaulH7586, sayingH559, “BeholdH2009, DavidH1732 is at NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414.” 20Then 17SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to takeH3947 DavidH1732, but when they sawH7200 18the companyH3862 of the prophetsH5030 prophesyingH5012, with SamuelH8050 standingH5975 and presidingH5324 overH5921 them, the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH1961 upon the messengersH4397 of SaulH7586; and 19they alsoH1571 prophesiedH5012. 21When it was toldH5046 SaulH7586, he sentH7971 otherH312 messengersH4397, and they alsoH1571 prophesiedH5012. So SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 againH3254 the thirdH7992 timeH7992, and they alsoH1571 prophesiedH5012. 22Then he himselfH1931 wentH1980 to RamahH7414 and cameH935 as farH5704 as the largeH1419 wellH953 that is in SecuH7906; and he askedH7592 and saidH559, “WhereH375 are SamuelH8050 and DavidH1732?” And someone saidH559, “BeholdH2009, they are at NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414.” 23He 20proceededH1980 thereH8033 to NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414; and 21the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH1961 upon him alsoH1571, so that he wentH1980 along prophesyingH5012 continuallyH1980 untilH5704 he cameH935 to NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414. 24He alsoH1571 strippedH6584 offH6584 his clothesH899, and he tooH1571 prophesiedH5012 beforeH6440 SamuelH8050 and 22layH5307 downH5307 2324nakedH6174 allH3605 that dayH3117 and allH3605 that nightH3915. ThereforeH5921H3651 they sayH559, “25Is SaulH7586 alsoH1571 among the prophetsH5030?”
