1 Kingdoms 19

And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, to slay David.

Καὶ ἐλάλησε Σαοὺλ πρὸς Ἰωνάθαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ πρὸς πὰντας τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ θανατῶσαι τὸν Δαυίδ.

And Jonathan, Saul's son, loved David much: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul seeks to kill thee: take heed to thyself therefore to-morrow morning, and hide thyself, and dwell in secret.

Καὶ Ἰωνάθαν ὁ υἱὸς Σαοὺλ ἡρεῖτο τὸν Δαυὶδ σφόδρα· καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν Ἰωνάθαν τῷ Δαυὶδ, λέγων, Σαοὺλ ζητεῖ θανατῶσαί σε· φύλαξαι οὖν αὔριον πρωῒ, καὶ κρύβηθι καὶ κάθισον κρυδῇ·

And I will go forth, and stand near my father in the field where thou shalt be, and I will speak concerning thee to my father; and I will see what his answer may be, and I will tell thee.

Καὶ ἐγὼ ἐξελεύσομαι καὶ στήσομαι ἐχόμενος τοῦ πατρός μου ἐν ἀγρῷ οὗ ἐὰν ᾖς ἐκεῖ· καὶ ἐγὼ λαλήσω περὶ σοῦ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου, καὶ ὄψομαι ὅ, τι ἐὰν ᾖ, καὶ ἀπαγγελῶ σοι.

And Jonathan spoke favourably concerning David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against thy servant David, for he has not sinned against thee, and his deeds are very good.

Καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ἰωνάθαν περὶ Δαυὶδ ἀγαθὰ πρὸς Σαοὺλ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν, μὴ ἁμαρτησάτω ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς τὸν δοῦλόν σου Δαυὶδ, ὅτι οὐχ ἡμάρτηκεν εἰς σὲ, καὶ τὰ ποιήματα αὐτοῦ ἀγαθὰ σφόδρα·

And he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great deliverance; and all Israel saw, and rejoiced: why then dost thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?

Καὶ ἔθετο τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν ἀλλόφυλον, καὶ ἐποίησε Κύριος σωτηρίαν μεγάλην, καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ εἶδον, καὶ ἐχάρησαν· καὶ ἱνατί ἁμαρτάνεις εἰς αἷμα ἀθῶον θανατῶσαι τὸν Δαυὶδ δωρεάν;

And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, saying, As the Lord lives, he shall not die.

Καὶ ἤκουσε Σαοὺλ τῆς φωνῆς Ἰωνάθαν· καὶ ὤμοσε Σαοὺλ, λέγων, ζῇ Κύριος, εἰ ἀποθανεῖται.

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.

Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἰωνάθαν τὸν Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα· καὶ εἰσήγαγεν Ἰωνάθαν τὸν Δαυὶδ πρὸς Σαοὺλ, καὶ ἦν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν.

And there was again war against Saul; and David did valiantly, and fought against the Philistines, and smote them with a very great slaughter, and they fled from before him.

Καὶ προσέθετο ὁ πόλεμος γενέσθαι πρὸς Σαοὺλ, καὶ κατίσχυσε Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐπολέμησε τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτοῖς πληγὴν μεγάλην σφόδρα, καὶ ἔφυγον ἐκ προσώπου αὐτοῦ.

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.

Καὶ ἐγένετο πνεῦμα Θεοῦ πονηρὸν ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν οἴκῳ καθεύδων, καὶ δόρυ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ Δαυὶδ ἔψαλλε ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ.

And Saul sought to smite 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.

Καὶ ἐζήτει Σαοὺλ πατάξαι τὸ δόρυ εἰς Δαυίδ· καὶ ἀπέστη Δαυὶδ ἐκ προσώπου Σαούλ· καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸ δόρυ εἰς τὸν τοῖχον· καὶ Δαυὶδ ἀνεχώρησε καὶ διεσώθη.

And it came to pass in that night, that Saul sent messengers to the house of David to watch him, in order to slay him in the morning; and Melchol David's wife told him, saying, Unless thou save thy life this night, to-morrow thou shalt be slain.

Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἀπέστειλε Σαοὺλ ἀγγελους εἰς οἶκον Δαυὶδ φυλάξαι αὐτὸν, τοῦ θανατῶσαι αὐτὸν πρωΐ· καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ Δαυὶδ Μελχὸλ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, λέγουσα, ἐὰν μὴ σὺ σώσῃς τὴν ψυχὴν σαυτοῦ τὴν νύκτα ταύτην, αὔριον θανατωθήσῃ.

So Melchol lets David down by the window, and he departed, and fled, and escaped.

Καὶ κατάγει ἡ Μελχὸλ τὸν Δαυὶδ διὰ τῆς θυρίδος, καὶ ἀπῆλθε καὶ ἔφυγε καὶ σώζεται.

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.

Καὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ Μελχὸλ τὰ κενοτάφια, καὶ ἔθετο ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην, καὶ ἧπαρ τῶν αἰγῶν ἔθετο πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκάλυψεν αὐτὰ ἱματίῳ.

And Saul sent messengers to take David; and they say that he is sick.

Καὶ ἀπέστειλε Σαοὺλ ἀγγέλους λαβεῖν τὸν Δαυὶδ, καὶ λέγουσιν ἐνοχλεῖσθαι αὐτόν.

And he sends to David, saying, Bring him to me on the bed, that I may slay him.

Καὶ ἀποστέλλει ἐπὶ τὸν Δαυὶδ, λέγων, ἀγάγετε αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης πρὸς μὲ τοῦ θανατῶσαι αὐτόν.

And the messengers come, and, behold, the images were on the bed, and the goat's liver at his head.

Καὶ ἔρχονται οἱ ἄγγελοι, καὶ ἰδοὺ τὰ κενοτάφια ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης, καὶ ἧπαρ τῶν αἰγῶν πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ.

And Saul said to Melchol, Why hast thou 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 slay thee.

Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ τῇ Μελχὸλ, ἱνατί οὕτως παρελογίσω με, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλας τὸν ἐχθρόν μου, καὶ διεσώθη; καὶ εἶπε Μελχὸλ τῷ Σαοὺλ, αὐτὸς εἶπεν, ἐξαπόστειλόν με, εἰ δὲ μὴ, θανατώσω σε.

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 dwelt in Navath in Rama.

Καὶ Δαυὶδ ἔφυγε καὶ διεσώθη, καὶ παραγίνεται πρὸς Σαμουὴλ εἰς Ἀρμαθαὶμ, καὶ ἀπαγγέλλει αὐτῷ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ Σαούλ· καὶ ἐπορεύθη Σαμουὴλ καὶ Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν Ναυὰθ ἐν Ῥαμᾶ.

And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is in Navath in Rama.

Καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαοὺλ, λέγοντες, ἰδοὺ Δαυὶδ ἐν Ναυὰθ ἐν Ῥαμᾴ.

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.

Καὶ ἀπέστειλε Σαοὺλ ἀγγέλους λαβεῖν τὸν Δαυὶδ, καὶ εἶδον τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τῶν προφητῶν, καὶ Σαμουὴλ εἱστήκει καθεστηκὼς ἐπʼ αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐπὶ τούς ἀγγέλους τοῦ Σαοὺλ πνεῦμα Θεοῦ, καὶ προφητεύουσι.

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.

Καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαοὺλ, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους ἑτέρους, καὶ ἐπροφήτευσαν καὶ αὐτοί· καὶ προσέθετο Σαοὺλ ἀποστεῖλαι ἀγγέλους τρίτους, καὶ ἐπροφήτευσαν καὶ αὐτοί.

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.

Καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ Σαοὺλ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ αὐτὸς εἰς Ἁρμαθαὶμ, καὶ ἔρχεται ἕως τοῦ φρέατος τοῦ ἅλω τοῦ ἐν τῷ Σεφί, καὶ ἠρώτησε καὶ εἶπε, ποῦ Σαμουὴλ καὶ Δαυίδ; καὶ εἶπαν, ἰδοὺ ἐν Ναυὰθ ἐν Ῥαμᾷ.

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.

Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Ναυὰθ ἐν Ῥαμᾷ· καὶ ἐγενήθη καὶ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ πνεῦμα Θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπορεύετο προφητεύων ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς Ναυὰθ ἐν Ῥαμᾷ.

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 among the prophets?

Καὶ ἐξεδύσατο τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπροφήτευσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν· καὶ ἔπεσε γυμνὸς ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐκείνην καὶ ὅλην τὴν νύκτα· διὰ τοῦτο ἔλεγον, εἰ καὶ Σαοὺλ ἐν προφήταις;
