He was in danger of being killed when he fought against [Goliath, the champion of] the Philistia [army. By enabling David to kill him], Yahweh won a great victory for all the people of Israel. You were very happy when you saw that. Why would you want to do anything now to harm David [RHQ]? There is no reason for you to kill him, because he has not done anything wrong!”
6 and to hear: hear Saul in/on/with voice Jonathan and to swear Saul alive LORD if: surely no to die
Saul listened to what Jonathan said. Then Saul said, “I solemnly promise that just as certain as Yahweh lives, I will not kill David.”

8 and to add: again [the] battle to/for to be and to come out: come David and to fight in/on/with Philistine and to smite in/on/with them wound great: large and to flee from face: before his
One day a war started again, and David [led his soldiers to] fight against the Philistia army. David’s [army] attacked them very furiously, with the result that the Philistia army ran away.
9 and to be spirit LORD bad: harmful to(wards) Saul and he/she/it in/on/with house: home his to dwell and spear his in/on/with hand his and David to play in/on/with hand
But one day when sitting in his house, an evil spirit [sent] from Yahweh [suddenly] came upon Saul. While David was playing his harp [for Saul],

Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house. He told them to watch the house and to kill David [while he was leaving the house] the following morning. But David’s wife Michal [saw them and] warned him, “To survive, you must run away tonight, because if you do not do that, you will be killed tomorrow!”
12 and to go down Michal [obj] David about/through/for [the] window and to go: went and to flee and to escape
So she enabled David to climb out through a window, and he ran away and escaped.
13 and to take: take Michal [obj] [the] teraphim and to set: put to(wards) [the] bed and [obj] quilt [the] goat to set: put head his and to cover in/on/with garment
Then Michal took an idol and put it in the bed. She covered it with some [of David’s] clothes, and put some goat’s hair on the head of the idol.
14 and to send: depart Saul messenger to/for to take: take [obj] David and to say be weak: ill he/she/it
When the messengers came [to the house the next morning], she told them that David was sick [and could not get out of bed].
15 and to send: depart Saul [obj] [the] messenger to/for to see: see [obj] David to/for to say to ascend: rise [obj] him in/on/with bed to(wards) me to/for to die him
[When they reported that to] Saul, he told them to go back to David’s house. He said to them, “Bring him to me lying on his bed, in order that I can kill him!”
16 and to come (in): come [the] messenger and behold [the] teraphim to(wards) [the] bed and quilt [the] goat head his
But when those men entered David’s house, they saw that there was only an idol in the bed, with goat’s hair on its head.
17 and to say Saul to(wards) Michal to/for what? thus to deceive me and to send: let go [obj] enemy my and to escape and to say Michal to(wards) Saul he/she/it to say to(wards) me to send: let go me to/for what? to die you
[When they reported that to Saul, ] Saul [summoned] Michal [and] said to her, “Why did you trick me like that? You allowed my enemy to escape!” Michal replied to Saul, “David told me that if I did not help him escape, he would kill me!” [RHQ]
18 and David to flee and to escape and to come (in): come to(wards) Samuel [the] Ramah [to] and to tell to/for him [obj] all which to make: do to/for him Saul and to go: went he/she/it and Samuel and to dwell (in/on/with Naioth *Q(k)*)
After David had escaped from Saul, he went to Samuel, who was [at his home] at Ramah. He told Samuel everything that Saul had done to [try to kill] him. Then David and Samuel went to Naioth, [which was a section] of [Ramah city], and they stayed there.
19 and to tell to/for Saul to/for to say behold David (in/on/with Naioth *Q(k)*) in/on/with Ramah
Someone told Saul that David was in Naioth.
20 and to send: depart Saul messenger to/for to take: take [obj] David and to see: see [obj] company [the] prophet to prophesy and Samuel to stand: stand to stand upon them and to be upon messenger Saul spirit God and to prophesy also they(masc.)
So Saul sent some messengers to capture David. [When] those messengers [arrived in Ramah, they] met some men who were proclaiming ecstatic messages, and Samuel was there, as their leader. When Saul’s messengers met them, the Spirit of God took control of Saul’s men, and they also spoke ecstatically.
21 and to tell to/for Saul and to send: depart messenger another and to prophesy also they(masc.) and to add: again Saul and to send: depart messenger third and to prophesy also they(masc.)
When Saul heard about that, he sent messengers a third time, but they also started to speak ecstatically.
22 and to go: went also he/she/it [the] Ramah [to] and to come (in): come till pit [the] great: large which in/on/with Secu and to ask and to say where? Samuel and David and to say behold (in/on/with Naioth *Q(k)*) in/on/with Ramah
Finally, Saul himself went to Ramah. When he arrived at the well at [a place named] Secu, he asked people there, “Where are Samuel and David?” The people replied, “They are at Naioth in Ramah [city].”
23 and to go: went there to(wards) (Naioth *Q(k)*) in/on/with Ramah and to be upon him also he/she/it spirit God and to go: come to go: went and to prophesy till to come (in): come he (in/on/with Naioth *Q(k)*) in/on/with Ramah
While Saul was walking toward Naioth, the Spirit of God also took control of him. [While he walked on], he continued speaking ecstatic messages until he came to Naioth.
24 and to strip also he/she/it garment his and to prophesy also he/she/it to/for face: before Samuel and to fall: fall naked all [the] day [the] he/she/it and all [the] night upon so to say also Saul in/on/with prophet
There he took off his clothes, and he spoke messages from God in front of Samuel. He lay on the ground doing that all day and all night. That is the reason that [when people see someone doing something that is very unexpected, they think about what happened to Saul, and] they say, “We are surprised, like the people were surprised to see Saul [acting like] a prophet?” [RHQ]
