Saul Persecutes David

1 Now Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill aDavid; but Jonathan, Saul’s son, bdelighted greatly in David.  
2 So Jonathan told David, saying, “My father Saul seeks to kill you. Therefore please be on your guard until morning, and stay in a secret place and hide.
3 And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak with my father about you. Then what I observe, I will tell ayou.”  
4 Thus Jonathan aspoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Let not the king bsin against his servant, against David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you.  
5 For he took his alife in his hands and bkilled the Philistine, and cthe Lord brought about a great deliverance for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. dWhy then will you esin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”  
6 So Saul heeded the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, “As the Lord lives, he shall not be killed.”
7 Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these things. So Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence aas in times past.  
8 And there was war again; and David went out and fought with the Philistines, aand struck them with a mighty blow, and they fled from him.  
9 Now athe distressing spirit from the Lord came upon Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand. And David was playing music with his hand.  
10 Then Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away from Saul’s presence; and he drove the spear into the wall. So David fled and escaped that night.
11 aSaul also sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. And Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”  
12 So Michal alet David down through a window. And he went and fled and escaped.  
13 And Michal took an image and laid it in the bed, put a cover of goats’ hair for his head, and covered it with clothes.
