1Saul was like, "Yo, kill David," and told his crew to handle it.

2But Jonathan, Saul's son, was vibing with David, so he warned him, "Bet, my dad's out to get you. Stay low key until morning, and hide."

3"I’ll talk to my dad in the field where you are, and spill the tea on what’s up."

4Jonathan was like, "Dad, chill on David. He ain't done you dirty, and he's always been good to you."

5"He put his life on the line and took out the Philistine. God did a major save for Israel, you saw it and celebrated. Why you tryna take out an innocent dude?"

6Saul listened to Jonathan and swore, "As the Lord lives, David won’t be touched."

7Jonathan called David and filled him in on everything. Then he brought David to Saul, and it was all chill like before.

8Then there was another war, and David went out and wrecked the Philistines hard; they bounced from him.

9An evil spirit from the Lord hit Saul while he was chilling at home with a javelin, and David was out here playing music.

10Saul tried to throw the javelin at David but dude slipped away, and the javelin hit the wall instead. David dipped and escaped that night.

11Saul sent peeps to watch David’s crib and take him out in the morning, but Michal, David’s wife, was like, "If you don’t bounce tonight, you’re done tomorrow."

12So Michal let David down through a window, and he ghosted.

13Michal put a statue in the bed, threw some goat hair on it for a pillow, and covered it up.

14When Saul's messengers came to grab David, she said, "He’s sick."

15Saul sent them again to check on David, saying, "Bring him to me in the bed so I can take him out."

16When the messengers got there, they saw the statue in the bed with the goat hair pillow.

17Saul was like, "Why you play me like that, Michal? You let my enemy escape!" Michal replied, "He told me to let him go; why should I hurt you?"

18So David dipped and told Samuel everything Saul had done. They both went and chilled in Naioth.

19Word got to Saul, "Yo, David's at Naioth in Ramah."

20Saul sent messengers to get David, but when they saw the prophets vibing and Samuel leading them, the Spirit of God hit them, and they started prophesying too.

21Saul heard about it and sent more messengers, and they prophesied too. Then he sent messengers a third time, and they were on the same wave.

22Saul went to Ramah and found a big well in Sechu, asking, "Where’s Samuel and David?" They said, "They’re at Naioth in Ramah."

23He went to Naioth in Ramah, and the Spirit of God hit him too, and he started prophesying until he got there.

24He stripped off his clothes and prophesied before Samuel, laying there naked all day and night. That’s why they say, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"

1And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.

2But Jonathan Saul’s son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:

3And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee.

4And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:

5For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?

6And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the Lord liveth, he shall not be slain.

7And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shewed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.

8And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.

9And the evil spirit from the Lord was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.

10And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.

11Saul also sent messengers unto David’s house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David’s wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain.

12So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.

13And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.

14And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.

15And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.

16And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats’ hair for his bolster.

17And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?

18So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.

19And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.

20And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

21And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.

22Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.

23And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

24And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?
