And it came to pass, when he had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 unto SaulH7586, that the soulH5315 of JonathanH3083 was knitH7194 with the soulH5315 of DavidH1732, and JonathanH3083 lovedH157 him as his own soulH5315.
And SaulH7586 tookH3947 him that dayH3117, and would letH5414 him go no more homeH7725 to his father'sH1 houseH1004.
Then JonathanH3083 and DavidH1732 madeH3772 a covenantH1285, because he lovedH160 him as his own soulH5315.
And JonathanH3083 strippedH6584 himself of the robeH4598 that was upon him, and gaveH5414 it to DavidH1732, and his garmentsH4055, even to his swordH2719, and to his bowH7198, and to his girdleH2289.
And DavidH1732 went outH3318 whithersoever SaulH7586 sentH7971 him, and behaved himself wiselyH7919: and SaulH7586 setH7760 him over the menH582 of warH4421, and he was acceptedH3190 in the sightH5869 of all the peopleH5971, and also in the sightH5869 of Saul'sH7586 servantsH5650. {behaved…: or, prospered}
And it came to pass as they cameH935, when DavidH1732 was returnedH7725 from the slaughterH5221 of the PhilistineH6430, that the womenH802 came outH3318 of all citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478, singingH7891 and dancingH4246, to meetH7125 kingH4428 SaulH7586, with tabretsH8596, with joyH8057, and with instrumentsH7991 of musick. {Philistine: or, Philistines} {instruments…: Heb. three stringed instruments}
And the womenH802 answeredH6030 one another as they playedH7832, and saidH559, SaulH7586 hath slainH5221 his thousandsH505, and DavidH1732 his ten thousandsH7233.
And SaulH7586 was veryH3966 wrothH2734, and the sayingH1697 displeasedH3415+H5869 him; and he saidH559, They have ascribedH5414 unto DavidH1732 ten thousandsH7233, and to me they have ascribedH5414 but thousandsH505: and what can he have more but the kingdomH4410? {displeased him: Heb. was evil in his eyes}
And SaulH7586 eyedH5770 DavidH1732 from that dayH3117 and forwardH1973.
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that the evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 cameH6743 upon SaulH7586, and he prophesiedH5012 in the midstH8432 of the houseH1004: and DavidH1732 playedH5059 with his handH3027, as at other timesH3117: and there was a javelinH2595 in Saul'sH7586 handH3027.
And SaulH7586 castH2904 the javelinH2595; for he saidH559, I will smiteH5221 DavidH1732 even to the wallH7023 with it. And DavidH1732 avoided outH5437 of his presenceH6440 twiceH6471.
And SaulH7586 was afraidH3372 ofH6440 DavidH1732, because the LORDH3068 was with him, and was departedH5493 from SaulH7586.
Therefore SaulH7586 removedH5493 him from him, and madeH7760 him his captainH8269 over a thousandH505; and he went outH3318 and came inH935 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971.
And DavidH1732 behaved himself wiselyH7919 in all his waysH1870; and the LORDH3068 was with him. {behaved…: or, prospered}
Wherefore when SaulH7586 sawH7200 that he behavedH7919 himself veryH3966 wiselyH7919, he was afraidH1481 ofH6440 him.
But all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063 lovedH157 DavidH1732, because he went outH3318 and came inH935 beforeH6440 them.
And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Behold my elderH1419 daughterH1323 MerabH4764, her will I giveH5414 thee to wifeH802: only be thou valiantH1121+H2428 for me, and fightH3898 the LORD'SH3068 battlesH4421. For SaulH7586 saidH559, Let not mine handH3027 be upon him, but let the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 be upon him. {valiant: Heb. a son of valour}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Who am I? and what is my lifeH2416, or my father'sH1 familyH4940 in IsraelH3478, that I should be son in lawH2860 to the kingH4428?
But it came to pass at the timeH6256 when MerabH4764 Saul'sH7586 daughterH1323 should have been givenH5414 to DavidH1732, that she was givenH5414 unto AdrielH5741 the MeholathiteH4259 to wifeH802.
And MichalH4324 Saul'sH7586 daughterH1323 lovedH157 DavidH1732: and they toldH5046 SaulH7586, and the thingH1697 pleasedH3474+H5869 him. {pleased him: Heb. was right in his eyes}
And SaulH7586 saidH559, I will giveH5414 him her, that she may be a snareH4170 to him, and that the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 may be against him. Wherefore SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou shalt this dayH3117 be my son in lawH2859 in the one of the twainH8147.
And SaulH7586 commandedH6680 his servantsH5650, saying, CommuneH1696 with DavidH1732 secretlyH3909, and sayH559, Behold, the kingH4428 hath delightH2654 in thee, and all his servantsH5650 loveH157 thee: now therefore be the king'sH4428 son in lawH2859.
And Saul'sH7586 servantsH5650 spakeH1696 those wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of DavidH1732. And DavidH1732 saidH559, SeemethH5869 it to you a lightH7043 thing to be a king'sH4428 son in lawH2859, seeing that I am a poorH7326 manH376, and lightly esteemedH7034?
And the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586 toldH5046 him, sayingH559, On this mannerH1697 spakeH1696 DavidH1732. {On…: Heb. According to these words}
And SaulH7586 saidH559, Thus shall ye sayH559 to DavidH1732, The kingH4428 desirethH2656 not any dowryH4119, but an hundredH3967 foreskinsH6190 of the PhilistinesH6430, to be avengedH5358 of the king'sH4428 enemiesH341. But SaulH7586 thoughtH2803 to make DavidH1732 fallH5307 by the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And when his servantsH5650 toldH5046 DavidH1732 these wordsH1697, it pleasedH3474+H1697+H5869 DavidH1732 well to be the king'sH4428 son in lawH2859: and the daysH3117 were not expiredH4390. {expired: Heb. fulfilled}
Wherefore DavidH1732 aroseH6965 and wentH3212, he and his menH582, and slewH5221 of the PhilistinesH6430 two hundredH3967 menH376; and DavidH1732 broughtH935 their foreskinsH6190, and they gave them in full taleH4390 to the kingH4428, that he might be the king'sH4428 son in lawH2859. And SaulH7586 gaveH5414 him MichalH4324 his daughterH1323 to wifeH802.
And SaulH7586 sawH7200 and knewH3045 that the LORDH3068 was with DavidH1732, and that MichalH4324 Saul'sH7586 daughterH1323 lovedH157 him.
And SaulH7586 was yet the moreH3254 afraidH3372 ofH6440 DavidH1732; and SaulH7586 became David'sH1732 enemyH341 continuallyH3117.
Then the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 went forthH3318: and it came to pass, afterH1767 they went forthH3318, that DavidH1732 behaved himself more wiselyH7919 than all the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586; so that his nameH8034 was muchH3966 set byH3365. {set by: Heb. precious}

Now it came to pass upon a dayH3117, that JonathanH3129 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586 saidH559 unto the young manH5288 that bareH5375 his armourH3627, ComeH3212, and let us go overH5674 to the Philistines'H6430 garrisonH4673, that is on the other sideH5676+H1975. But he toldH5046 not his fatherH1. {it came…: or, there was a day}
And SaulH7586 tarriedH3427 in the uttermostH7097 part of GibeahH1390 under a pomegranate treeH7416 which is in MigronH4051: and the peopleH5971 that were with him were about sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376;
And AhiahH281, the sonH1121 of AhitubH285, Ichabod'sH350 brotherH251, the sonH1121 of PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EliH5941, the LORD'SH3068 priestH3548 in ShilohH7887, wearingH5375 an ephodH646. And the peopleH5971 knewH3045 not that JonathanH3129 was goneH1980. {Ahiah: called Ahimelech}
And between the passagesH4569, by which JonathanH3129 soughtH1245 to go overH5674 unto the Philistines'H6430 garrisonH4673, there was a sharpH8127 rockH5553 on the one sideH5676, and a sharpH8127 rockH5553 on the other sideH5676: and the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was BozezH949, and the nameH8034 of the otherH259 SenehH5573.
The forefrontH8127 of the oneH259 was situateH4690 northwardH6828 over againstH4136 MichmashH4363, and the otherH259 southwardH5045 over againstH4136 GibeahH1387. {forefront: Heb. tooth}
And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to the young manH5288 that bareH5375 his armourH3627, ComeH3212, and let us go overH5674 unto the garrisonH4673 of these uncircumcisedH6189: it may be that the LORDH3068 will workH6213 for us: for there is no restraintH4622 to the LORDH3068 to saveH3467 by manyH7227 or by fewH4592.
And his armourbearerH5375+H3627 saidH559 unto him, DoH6213 all that is in thine heartH3824: turnH5186 thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heartH3824.
Then saidH559 JonathanH3083, Behold, we will pass overH5674 unto these menH582, and we will discoverH1540 ourselves unto them.
If they sayH559 thus unto us, TarryH1826 until we comeH5060 to you; then we will stand stillH5975 in our place, and will not go upH5927 unto them. {Tarry: Heb. Be still}
But if they sayH559 thus, Come upH5927 unto us; then we will go upH5927: for the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 them into our handH3027: and this shall be a signH226 unto us.
And bothH8147 of them discoveredH1540 themselves unto the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430: and the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559, Behold, the HebrewsH5680 come forthH3318 out of the holesH2356 where they had hidH2244 themselves.
And the menH582 of the garrisonH4675 answeredH6030 JonathanH3129 and his armourbearerH5375+H3627, and saidH559, Come upH5927 to us, and we will shewH3045 you a thingH1697. And JonathanH3129 saidH559 unto his armourbearerH5375+H3627, Come upH5927 afterH310 me: for the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478.
And JonathanH3129 climbed upH5927 upon his handsH3027 and upon his feetH7272, and his armourbearerH5375+H3627 afterH310 him: and they fellH5307 beforeH6440 JonathanH3129; and his armourbearerH5375+H3627 slewH4191 afterH310 him.
And that firstH7223 slaughterH4347, which JonathanH3129 and his armourbearerH5375+H3627 madeH5221, was about twentyH6242 menH376, within as it were an halfH2677 acreH4618 of landH7704, which a yokeH6776 of oxen might plow. {an…: or, half a furrow of an acre of land}
Then JonathanH3083 and DavidH1732 madeH3772 a covenantH1285, because he lovedH160 him as his own soulH5315.
And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Shall JonathanH3129 dieH4191, who hath wroughtH6213 this greatH1419 salvationH3444 in IsraelH3478? God forbidH2486: as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, there shall not one hairH8185 of his headH7218 fallH5307 to the groundH776; for he hath wroughtH6213 with GodH430 this dayH3117. So the peopleH5971 rescuedH6299 JonathanH3129, that he diedH4191 not.
But JonathanH3083 Saul'sH7586 sonH1121 delightedH2654 muchH3966 in DavidH1732: and JonathanH3083 toldH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, SaulH7586 my fatherH1 seekethH1245 to killH4191 thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heedH8104 to thyself until the morningH1242, and abideH3427 in a secretH5643 place, and hideH2244 thyself:
Now therefore when I comeH935 to thy servantH5650 my fatherH1, and the ladH5288 be not with us; seeing that his lifeH5315 is bound upH7194 in the lad's lifeH5315;
And JonathanH3083 caused DavidH1732 to swearH7650 againH3254, because he lovedH160 him: for he lovedH157 him as he lovedH160 his own soulH5315. {because…: or, by his love toward him}
So all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were gatheredH622 against the cityH5892, knit togetherH2270 as oneH259 manH376. {knit…: Heb. fellows}
If thy brotherH251, the sonH1121 of thy motherH517, or thy sonH1121, or thy daughterH1323, or the wifeH802 of thy bosomH2436, or thy friendH7453, which is as thine own soulH5315, enticeH5496 thee secretlyH5643, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, which thou hast not knownH3045, thou, nor thy fathersH1;
And DavidH1732 went outH3318 to meetH6440 them, and answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto them, If ye be comeH935 peaceablyH7965 unto me to helpH5826 me, mine heartH3824 shall be knitH3162 unto you: but if ye be come to betrayH7411 me to mine enemiesH6862, seeing there is noH3808 wrongH2555 in mine handsH3709, the GodH430 of our fathersH1 lookH7200 thereon, and rebukeH3198 it. {to meet…: Heb. before them} {be knit: Heb. be one} {wrong: or, violence}
I am distressedH6887 for thee, my brotherH251 JonathanH3083: veryH3966 pleasantH5276 hast thou been unto me: thy loveH160 to me was wonderfulH6381, passing the loveH160 of womenH802.
TeachH3384 me thy wayH1870, O LORDH3068; I will walkH1980 in thy truthH571: uniteH3161 my heartH3824 to fearH3372 thy nameH8034.
A manH376 that hath friendsH7453 must shew himself friendlyH7489: and there isH3426 a friendH157 that sticketh closerH1695 than a brotherH251.
