Revised Version 1895
1 Samuel 19:1-7
1And SaulH7586 spake to JonathanH3129 his sonH1121, and to allH3605 his servantsH5650, that they should slayH4191 DavidH1732. But JonathanH3129 Saul’sH7586 sonH1121 delighted muchH3605 in DavidH1732.
2And JonathanH3083 toldH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, SaulH7586 my fatherH1 seeketh to slayH4191 thee: nowH6258 therefore, I prayH4994 thee, takeH8104 heedH8104 to thyself in the morningH1242, and abideH3427 in a secret place, and hideH2244 thyself:
3and I will goH3318 outH3318 and standH5975 besideH3027 my fatherH1 in the fieldH7704 whereH834 thou art, and I will commune with my fatherH1 of thee; and ifH834 I seeH7200 aught, I will tellH5046 thee.
4And JonathanH3083 spake goodH2896 of DavidH1732 unto SaulH7586 his fatherH1, and saidH559 unto him, LetH408 notH3808 the kingH4428 sinH2398 againstH413 his servantH5650, againstH413 DavidH1732; becauseH3588 he hath notH3808 sinnedH2398 againstH413 thee, and becauseH3588 his worksH4639 have been to thee-ward veryH3966 goodH2896:
5for he putH4191 his lifeH5315 in his handH3709, and smoteH5221 the PhilistineH6430, and the LORDH3068 wroughtH7760 a greatH1419 victoryH8668 for allH3605 IsraelH3478: thou sawest it, and didst rejoiceH8055: wherefore then wilt thou sinH2398 againstH2398 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, to slayH4191 DavidH1732 withoutH2600 a causeH2600?
6And SaulH7586 hearkened unto the voiceH6963 of JonathanH3083: and SaulH7586 sware, As the LORDH3068 liveth, he shall notH518 be putH4191 to deathH4191.
7And JonathanH3083 calledH7121 DavidH1732, and JonathanH3083 shewed him allH3605 thoseH428 things. And JonathanH3083 broughtH935 DavidH1732 to SaulH7586, and he was in his presenceH6440, as beforetime.
