Kings I 19
1 And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, to kill David.
Og Saul talede til Jonathan, sin Søn, og til alle sine Tjenere, at de skulle slaa David ihjel; men Jonathan, Sauls Søn, fandt stort Behag i David.
2 And Jonathan, Saul's son, loved David much: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul seeks to kill you: take heed to yourself therefore to-morrow morning, and hide yourself, and dwell in secret.
Og Jonathan forkyndte David det og sagde: Min Fader Saul søger efter at slaa dig ihjel; saa var dig nu, kære, i Morgen, og bliv i Skjul og hold dig gemt!
3 And I will go forth, and stand near my father in the field where you shall be, and I will speak concerning you to my father; and I will see what his answer may be, and I will tell you.
Og jeg vil gaa ud og staa ved min Faders Side paa Marken, hvor du er, og jeg vil tale med min Fader om dig, og naar jeg har set, hvad det er, da vil jeg kundgøre dig det.
4 And Jonathan spoke favourably concerning David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against your servant David, for he has not sinned against you, and his deeds [are] very good.
Saa talede Jonathan godt om David til Saul sin Fader, og sagde til ham: Kongen synde ikke imod sin Tjener, imod David, thi han har ikke syndet imod dig, saa ere og hans Gerninger dig meget gode.
5 And he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great deliverance; and all Israel saw, and rejoined: why then do you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?
Thi han har sat sit Liv i sin Haand og slaget Filisteren, og Herren beredte en stor Frelse for al Israel, det har du set og glædedes derved; og hvorfor vil du synde imod uskyldigt Blod ved at ihjelslaa David uforskyldt?
6 And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, saying, [As] the Lord lives, he shall not die.
Da adlød Saul Jonathans Røst, og Saul svor; Saa vist som Herren lever, han skal ikke dødes.
7 And Jonathan called David, and told him all these words; and Jonathan brought David in to Saul, and he was before him as in former times.
Og Jonathan kaldte ad David, og Jonathan gav ham alle disse Ord til Kende; og Jonathan førte David til Saul, og han var for hans Ansigt som tilforn.
8 And there was again war against Saul; and David did valiantly, and fought against the Philistines, and struck them with a very great slaughter, and they fled from before him.
Og Krigen varede ved; og David drog ud og stred mod Filisterne og slog dem med et stort Slag, og de flyede for hans Ansigt.
9 And an evil spirit from God was upon Saul, and he was resting in his house, and a spear [was] in his hand, and David was playing on the harp with his hands.
Og den onde Aand fra Herren kom paa Saul, og han sad i sit Hus og havde sit Spyd i sin Haand, og David legede paa Strenge med Haanden.
10 And Saul sought to strike David with the spear; and David withdrew [suddenly] from the presence of Saul; and he drove the spear into the wall; and David retreated and escaped.
Og Saul søgte efter at stikke Spydet igennem David ind i Væggen; men denne gik bort fra Sauls Ansigt; og han stak Spydet i Væggen; saa flyede David og undkom den samme Nat.
11 And it came to pass in that night, that Saul sent messengers to the house of David to watch him, in order to kill him in the morning; and Melchol David's wife told him, saying, Unless you save your life this night, to-morrow you shall be slain.
Og Saul sendte Bud til Davids Hus for at vare paa ham og at slaa ham ihjel om Morgenen; men Mikal, hans Hustru, forkyndte David det og sagde: Dersom du ikke redder dit Liv i Nat, bliver du dræbt i Morgen.
12 So Melchol lets David down by the window, and he departed, and fled, and escaped.
Saa lod Mikal David ned igennem et Vindue, og han gik og flyede og undkom.
13 And Melchol took images, and laid them on the bed, and she put the liver of a goat by his head, and covered them with clothes.
Og Mikal tog Gudebilledet og lagde det i Sengen og lagde et Gedeskind under dets Hoved og bedækkede det med et Klæde.
14 And Saul sent messengers to take David; and they say that he is sick.
Da sendte Saul Bud for at lade David hente, og hun sagde: Han er syg.
15 And he sends to David, saying, Bring him to me on the bed, that I may kill him.
Saa sendte Saul Bud hen at se David og sagde: Bærer ham op til mig i Sengen, at man kan slaa ham ihjel.
16 And the messengers come, and, behold, the images [were] on the bed, and the goat's liver at his head.
Og Budene kom, og se, Gudebilledet laa i Sengen, og Gedeskindet under dets Hoved.
17 And Saul said to Melchol, Why have you thus deceived me, and suffered my enemy to depart, and he has escaped? and Melchol said to Saul, He said, let me go, and if not, I will kill you.
Da sagde Saul til Mikal: Hvorfor bedrog du mig saa og lod min Fjende fare, at han undkom? Og Mikal sagde til Saul: Han sagde til mig: Lad mig gaa, hvorfor skulde jeg slaa dig ihjel?
18 So David fled, and escaped, and comes to Samuel to Armathaim, and tells him all that Saul had done to him: and Samuel and David went, and lived in Navath in Rama.
Og David flyede og undkom og kom til Samuel i Rama og gav ham alt det til Kende, som Saul havde gjort ham; og han og Samuel gik hen, og de bleve i Najoth.
19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] in Navath in Rama.
Og det blev Saul tilkendegivet, og der sagdes: Se, David er i Najoth i Rama.
20 And Saul sent messengers to take David, and they saw the assembly of the prophets, and Samuel stood [as] appointed over them; and the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they prophesy.
Da sendte Saul Bud, at de skulde hente David, og de saa en Forsamling af Profeter, som profeterede, og Samuel, som var sat over dem, stod hos; og Guds Aand kom over Sauls Bud, saa at ogsaa de profeterede.
21 And it was told Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied: and Saul sent again a third set of messengers, and they also prophesied.
Der de gave Saul det til Kende, da sendte han andre Bud, og de profeterede ogsaa; og Saul sendte ydermere tredje Gang Bud, og de profeterede ogsaa.
22 And Saul was very angry, and went himself also to Armathaim, and he comes as far as the well of the threshing floor that is in Sephi; and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? And they said, Behold, in Navath in Rama.
Siden gik han selv til Rama, og der han kom til den store Brønd, som er i Seku, da spurgte han og sagde: Hvor er Samuel og David? og en sagde: Se, de ere i Najoth i Rama.
23 And he went thence to Navath in Rama: and there came the Spirit of God upon him also, and he went on prophesying till he came to Navath in Rama.
Da gik han derhen til Najoth i Rama; og Guds Aand kom ogsaa over ham, og han vedblev at gaa og profetere, indtil han kom til Najoth i Rama.
24 And he took off his clothes, and prophesied before them; and lay down naked all that day and all that night: therefore they said, [Is] Saul also amongst the prophets?
Og han førte sig ogsaa af sine Klæder og profeterede ogsaa for Samuels Ansigt og kastede sig nøgen ned hele den Dag og hele den Nat; derfor siger man: Er Saul ogsaa iblandt Profeterne?
