1 Samuel 19:9-24

9And the evilH7451 spiritH7307 from the LORDH3068 was upon SaulH7586, as he satH3427 in his houseH1004 with his javelinH2595 in his handH3027: and DavidH1732 playedH5059 with his handH3027. 10And SaulH7586 soughtH1245 to smiteH5221 DavidH1732 even to the wallH7023 with the javelinH2595; but he slipped awayH6362 from Saul’sH7586 presenceH6440, and he smoteH5221 the javelinH2595 into the wallH7023: and DavidH1732 fledH5127, and escapedH4422 that nightH3915.

11SaulH7586 also sentH7971 messengersH4397 to David’sH1732 houseH1004, to watchH8104 him, and to slayH4191 him in the morningH1242: and MichalH4324 David’sH1732 wifeH802 toldH5046 him, sayingH559, If thou dost not saveH4422 thy lifeH5315 to nightH3915, to morrowH4279 thou shalt be slainH4191. 12So MichalH4324 letH3381 DavidH1732 downH3381 through a windowH2474: and he wentH3212, and fledH1272, and escapedH4422. 13And MichalH4324 tookH3947 an imageH8655, and laidH7760 it in the bedH4296, and putH7760 a pillowH3523 of goatsH5795’ hair for his headH4763, and coveredH3680 it with a clothH899.1 14And when SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to takeH3947 DavidH1732, she saidH559, He is sickH2470. 15And SaulH7586 sentH7971 the messengersH4397 again to seeH7200 DavidH1732, sayingH559, Bring himH5927 to me in the bedH4296, that I may slayH4191 him. 16And when the messengersH4397 had come inH935, behold, there was an imageH8655 in the bedH4296, with a pillowH3523 of goatsH5795’ hair for his headH4763. 17And SaulH7586 saidH559 to MichalH4324, Why hast thou deceived me soH7411, and sent awayH7971 my enemyH341, that he hast escapedH4422? And MichalH4324 answeredH559 SaulH7586, He saidH559 to me, Let me goH7971; why should I killH4191 thee?

18So DavidH1732 fledH1272, and escapedH4422, and cameH935 to SamuelH8050 to RamahH7414, and toldH5046 him all that SaulH7586 had doneH6213 to him. And he and SamuelH8050 wentH3212 and dweltH3427 in NaiothH5121. 19And it was toldH5046 to SaulH7586, sayingH559, Behold, DavidH1732 is at NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414. 20And SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to takeH3947 DavidH1732: and when they sawH7200 the companyH3862 of the prophetsH5030 prophesyingH5012, and SamuelH8050 standingH5975 as appointedH5324 over them, the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 was upon the messengersH4397 of SaulH7586, and they also prophesiedH5012. 21And when it was toldH5046 SaulH7586, he sentH7971 otherH312 messengersH4397, and they prophesiedH5012 likewise. And SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 againH3254 the thirdH7992 time, and they prophesiedH5012 also. 22Then he wentH3212 also to RamahH7414, and cameH935 to a greatH1419 wellH953 that is in SechuH7906: and he askedH7592 and saidH559, WhereH375 are SamuelH8050 and DavidH1732? And one saidH559, Behold, they are at NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414. 23And he wentH3212 there to NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414: and the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 was upon him also, and he wentH3212 onH1980, and prophesiedH5012, until he cameH935 to NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414. 24And he stripped offH6584 his clothesH899 alsoH1571, and prophesiedH5012 beforeH6440 SamuelH8050 in like manner, and lay downH5307 nakedH6174 all that dayH3117 and all that nightH3915. Therefore they sayH559, Is SaulH7586 also among the prophetsH5030?2
