1 Samuel 19:2-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 19
2
So Jonathan informed David, saying, 'My father Saul is seeking to put you to death. Now then, please be on your guard in the morning, and stay in a hiding place and conceal yourself.
3
And as for me, I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are
hiding,
and I will speak with my father about you; and whatever I find out, I will tell you.'
4
Then Jonathan spoke well of David to his father Saul and said to him, 'May the king not sin against his servant David, since he has not sinned against you, and since his deeds
have been
very beneficial to you.
5
For he took his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and the
Lord
brought about a great victory for all Israel; you saw
it
and rejoiced. Why then would you sin against innocent blood by putting David to death for no reason?'
6
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul vowed, 'As the
Lord
lives,
David
shall not be put to death.'
7
Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these words. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
King James Version
Chapter 19
2
But 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:
3
And 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.
4
And 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:
5
For 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?
6
And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the
Lord
liveth, he shall not be slain.
7
And 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.

2
so he told him: "My father Saul intends to kill you. Be on your guard in the morning and hide in a secret place and stay there.
3
I’ll go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are and talk to him about you. When I see what he says, I’ll tell you."
4
Jonathan spoke well of David to his father Saul. He said to him: "The king should not sin against his servant David. He hasn’t sinned against you; in fact, his actions have been a great advantage to you.
5
He took his life in his hands when he struck down the Philistine, and the
Lord
brought about a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?"
6
Saul listened to Jonathan’s advice and swore an oath: "As surely as the
Lord
lives, David will not be killed."
7
So Jonathan summoned David and told him all these words. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he served him as he did before.

told him what his father was planning. 'Tomorrow morning,' he warned him, 'you must find a hiding place out in the fields.
3
I’ll ask my father to go out there with me, and I’ll talk to him about you. Then I’ll tell you everything I can find out.'
4
The next morning Jonathan spoke with his father about David, saying many good things about him. 'The king must not sin against his servant David,' Jonathan said. 'He’s never done anything to harm you. He has always helped you in any way he could.
5
Have you forgotten about the time he risked his life to kill the Philistine giant and how the
Lord
brought a great victory to all Israel as a result? You were certainly happy about it then. Why should you murder an innocent man like David? There is no reason for it at all!'
6
So Saul listened to Jonathan and vowed, 'As surely as the
Lord
lives, David will not be killed.'
7
Afterward Jonathan called David and told him what had happened. Then he brought David to Saul, and David served in the court as before.

2
And Jonathan told David, "Saul my father seeks to kill you. Therefore be on your guard in the morning. Stay in a secret place and hide yourself.
3
And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak to my father about you. And if I learn anything I will tell you."
4
And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, "Let not the king sin against his servant David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have brought good to you.
5
For he took his life in his hand and he struck down the Philistine, and the
Lord
worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood by killing David without cause?"
6
And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan. Saul swore, "As the
Lord
lives, he shall not be put to death."
7
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan reported to him all these things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.

and warned him, "My father Saul is looking for a chance to kill you. Be on your guard tomorrow morning; go into hiding and stay there.
3
I will go out and stand with my father in the field where you are. I’ll speak to him about you and will tell you what I find out."
4
Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, "Let not the king do wrong to his servant David; he has not wronged you, and what he has done has benefited you greatly.
5
He took his life in his hands when he killed the Philistine. The
Lord
won a great victory for all Israel, and you saw it and were glad. Why then would you do wrong to an innocent man like David by killing him for no reason?"
6
Saul listened to Jonathan and took this oath: "As surely as the
Lord
lives, David will not be put to death."
7
So Jonathan called David and told him the whole conversation. He brought him to Saul, and David was with Saul as before.

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 you.”
4
Thus Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Let not 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.
5
For he took his life in his hands and killed the Philistine, and the
Lord
brought about a great deliverance for all Israel. You saw
it
and rejoiced. Why then will you sin 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 as in times past.
