Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, greatly delighted in David. 1Sa 18:11Sa 18:9 Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, live in a secret place, and hide yourself. Pro 17:17Act 9:241Jn 3:12-141Sa 18:1-31Sa 20:2Act 23:16Psa 16:3Jhn 15:17-19 I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you.” 1Sa 20:131Sa 20:9
Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you; Jer 18:20Gen 42:22Pro 31:8-91Sa 20:32Pro 17:131Sa 22:14Psa 109:4-5Psa 35:12 for he put his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?” 1Ch 11:141Sa 11:131Sa 20:32Jdg 9:17Mat 27:41Sa 28:21Act 20:24Psa 119:109
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, “As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death.” Pro 26:24-25Jer 5:21Sa 14:391Sa 19:10-111Sa 28:10Psa 15:4
Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before. 1Sa 16:211Sa 18:131Sa 18:21Sa 18:101Ch 11:2Exo 4:10Gen 31:2Isa 30:33
There was war again. David went out and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him. Psa 18:32-50Psa 27:3
An evil spirit from the LORD was on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing music with his hand. 1Sa 16:141Sa 16:161Sa 18:10-11 Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence; and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled and escaped that night. 1Sa 18:111Sa 20:33Pro 21:301Sa 19:62Pe 2:20-22Hos 6:4Isa 54:17Jhn 10:39 Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you don’t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.” Psa 59:1-17Jdg 16:2 So Michal let David down through the window. He went away, fled, and escaped. Jos 2:152Co 11:32-33Act 9:24-25Psa 34:19 Michal took the teraphim 1 and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head and covered it with clothes. Gen 31:19Jdg 18:14Jdg 18:17Hos 3:4Jdg 17:5 When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.” Jos 2:52Sa 16:17-192Sa 17:20
Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.” 1Sa 19:6Job 31:31Pro 27:3-4Psa 37:12Rom 3:15 When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head.
Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” 2Sa 2:221Ki 21:201Sa 19:141Sa 22:171Sa 28:122Sa 17:20Exo 1:17-19Gal 4:16
Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’”
Now David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth. 1Sa 7:171Sa 15:341Sa 28:3Jas 5:16Psa 116:11 Saul was told, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.” 1Sa 22:9-101Sa 23:191Sa 26:1Pro 29:12
Saul sent messengers to seize David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, God’s Spirit came on Saul’s messengers, and they also prophesied. Jol 2:281Sa 10:5-6Jhn 7:321Co 14:24-251Sa 10:101Co 14:31Sa 19:111Sa 19:14 When Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied. 2Ki 1:9-13Jer 13:23Jol 2:28Pro 27:22 Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?”
One said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”
He went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then God’s Spirit came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah. Pro 16:91Sa 10:101Sa 19:20Num 24:21Co 13:2Jhn 11:51Mat 7:22Num 23:5 He also stripped off his clothes. He also prophesied before Samuel and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?” 1Sa 10:10-122Sa 6:20Isa 20:2Mic 1:82Sa 6:14Act 9:21Num 24:4
