20:1 ¶
And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life? |
|
20:1 ¶
And David°
fled°°
from Naioth°°
in Ramah,°
and came°°
and said°°
before°
Jonathan,°
What°
have I done?°°
what°
[is] mine iniquity?°
and what°
[is] my sin°
before°
thy father,°
that°
he seeketh°°°
my life?° |
20:2
And he said unto him, Far from it; thou shalt not die: behold, my father doeth nothing either great or small, but that he discloseth it unto me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so. |
|
20:2
And he said°°
unto him, God forbid;°
thou shalt not°
die:°°
behold,°
my father°
will do°°°°
nothing°°
either great°
or°
small,°
but that he will shew°°°°
it°
me:°
and why°
should my father°
hide°°°
this°
thing°
from°
me? it°
[is] not°
[so]. |
20:3
And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father knoweth well that I have found favor in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death. |
|
20:3
And David°
sware°°
moreover,°
and said,°°
Thy father°
certainly°°
knoweth°°
that°
I have found°°
grace°
in thine eyes;°
and he saith,°°
Let not°
Jonathan°
know°°
this,°
lest°
he be grieved:°°
but truly°
[as] the LORD°
liveth,°
and [as] thy soul°
liveth,°
[there°
is] but a step°
between°
me and death.° |
20:4
Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee. |
|
20:4
Then said°°
Jonathan°
unto°
David,°
Whatsoever°
thy soul°
desireth,°°
I will even do°°
[it] for thee. |
20:5
And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to-morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even. |
|
20:5
And David°
said°°
unto°
Jonathan,°
Behold,°
to morrow°
[is] the new moon,°
and I°
should not fail°°
to sit°°
with°
the king°
at meat:°°
but let me go,°°
that I may hide°°
myself°
in the field°
unto°
the third°
[day] at even.° |
20:6
If thy father miss me at all, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family. |
|
20:6
If°
thy father°
at all°°
miss°°
me, then say,°°
David°
earnestly°°
asked°°
[leave] of°
me that he might run°°
to Bethlehem°
his city:°
for°
[there is] a yearly°
sacrifice°
there°
for all°
the family.° |
20:7
If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be wroth, then know that evil is determined by him. |
|
20:7
If°
he say°°
thus,°
[It is] well;°
thy servant°
shall have peace:°
but if°
he be very°°
wroth,°°
[then] be sure°°
that°
evil°
is determined°°
by°°
him. |
20:8
Therefore deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of Jehovah with thee: but if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father? |
|
20:8
Therefore thou shalt deal°°
kindly°
with°
thy servant;°
for°
thou hast brought°°°
thy servant°
into a covenant°
of the LORD°
with°
thee: notwithstanding, if°
there be°
in me iniquity,°
slay°°
me thyself;°
for°
why°
shouldest thou bring°°
me to thy father?° |
20:9
And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee? |
|
20:9
And Jonathan°
said,°°
Far be it°
from thee:°
for°
if°
I knew°°
certainly°°
that°
evil°
were determined°°
by°°
my father°
to come°°
upon°
thee, then would not°
I tell°°
it thee? |
20:10
Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me if perchance thy father answer thee roughly? |
|
20:10
Then said°°
David°
to°
Jonathan,°
Who°
shall tell°°
me? or°
what°
[if] thy father°
answer°°
thee roughly?° |
20:11 ¶
And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field. |
|
20:11 ¶
And Jonathan°
said°°
unto°
David,°
Come,°°°
and let us go out°°
into the field.°
And they went out°°
both°
of them into the field.° |
20:12
And Jonathan said unto David, Jehovah, the God of Israel, [be witness]: when I have sounded my father about this time to-morrow, [or] the third day, behold, if there be good toward David, shall I not then send unto thee, and disclose it unto thee? |
|
20:12
And Jonathan°
said°°
unto°
David,°
O LORD°
God°
of Israel,°
when°
I have sounded°°°
my father°
about to morrow°
any time,°
[or] the third°
[day], and, behold,°
[if there be] good°°°
toward°
David,°
and I then°
send°°
not°
unto°
thee, and shew°°°
it thee;°°° |
20:13
Jehovah do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do thee evil, if I disclose it not unto thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and Jehovah be with thee, as he hath been with my father. |
|
20:13
The LORD°
do°°
so°
and much°
more°°
to Jonathan:°
but if°
it please°°°
my father°
[to do] thee°
evil,°
then I will shew°°°
it thee,°°°
and send thee away,°°
that thou mayest go°°
in peace:°
and the LORD°
be°
with°
thee, as°
he hath been°
with°
my father.° |
20:14
And thou shalt not only while yet I live show me the lovingkindness of Jehovah, that I die not; |
|
20:14
And thou shalt not°
only while°
yet°°
I live°
shew°°°
me the kindness°
of the LORD,°
that I die°°
not:° |
20:15
but also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever; no, not when Jehovah hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth. |
|
20:15
But [also] thou shalt not°
cut off°°°
thy kindness°
from°°
my house°
for°
ever:°°
no, not°
when the LORD°
hath cut off°°°
the enemies°°
of David°
every one°
from the face°°°
of the earth.° |
20:16
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, [saying], And Jehovah will require it at the hand of David's enemies. |
|
20:16
So Jonathan°
made°°
[a covenant] with°
the house°
of David,°
[saying], Let the LORD°
even require°°
[it] at the hand°°
of David's°
enemies.°° |
20:17
And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul. |
|
20:17
And Jonathan°
caused°
David°
to swear°°
again,°°
because he loved°
him: for°
he loved°°
him as he loved°
his own soul.° |
20:18
Then Jonathan said unto him, To-morrow is the new moon: and thou wilt be missed, because thy seat will be empty. |
|
20:18
Then Jonathan°
said°°
to David,°
To morrow°
[is] the new moon:°
and thou shalt be missed,°°
because°
thy seat°
will be empty.°° |
20:19
And when thou hast stayed three days, thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel. |
|
20:19
And [when] thou hast stayed three days,°°
[then] thou shalt go down°°
quickly,°
and come°°
to°
the place°
where°
thou didst hide°°
thyself°
when°°
the business°
was [in hand], and shalt remain°°
by°
the stone°
Ezel.° |
20:20
And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark. |
|
20:20
And I°
will shoot°°
three°
arrows°
on the side°
[thereof], as though I shot°°
at a mark.° |
20:21
And, behold, I will send the lad, [saying], Go, find the arrows. If I say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee; take them, and come; for there is peace to thee and no hurt, as Jehovah liveth. |
|
20:21
And, behold,°
I will send°°°
a lad,°
[saying], Go,°°°
find out°°°
the arrows.°
If°
I expressly°°
say°°
unto the lad,°
Behold,°
the arrows°
[are] on this side°°
of thee, take°°
them; then come°°
thou: for°
[there is] peace°
to thee, and no°
hurt;°
[as] the LORD°
liveth.° |
20:22
But if I say thus unto the boy, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way; for Jehovah hath sent thee away. |
|
20:22
But if°
I say°°
thus°
unto the young man,°
Behold,°
the arrows°
[are] beyond°°
thee; go thy way:°°°
for°
the LORD°
hath sent thee away.°° |
20:23
And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, Jehovah is between thee and me for ever. |
|
20:23
And [as touching] the matter°
which°
thou°
and I°
have spoken°°
of, behold,°
the LORD°
[be] between°
thee and me for°
ever.°° |
20:24 ¶
So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat food. |
|
20:24 ¶
So David°
hid°°
himself°
in the field:°
and when the new moon°
was come,°
the king°
sat him down°°
to eat°°
meat.° |
20:25
And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul's side: but David's place was empty. |
|
20:25
And the king°
sat°°
upon°
his seat,°
as at other times,°
[even] upon°
a seat°
by the wall:°
and Jonathan°
arose,°°
and Abner°
sat°°
by Saul's°
side,°°
and David's°
place°
was empty.°° |
20:26
Nevertheless Saul spake not anything that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean. |
|
20:26
Nevertheless Saul°
spake°°
not°
any thing°
that°
day:°
for°
he thought,°°
Something hath befallen°
him, he°
[is] not°
clean;°
surely°
he [is] not°
clean.° |
20:27
And it came to pass on the morrow after the new moon, [which was] the second [day], that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to-day? |
|
20:27
And it came to pass°
on the morrow,°°
[which was] the second°
[day] of the month,°
that David's°
place°
was empty:°°
and Saul°
said°°
unto°
Jonathan°
his son,°
Wherefore°
cometh°°
not°
the son°
of Jesse°
to°
meat,°
neither°
yesterday,°
nor°
to day?° |
20:28
And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem: |
|
20:28
And Jonathan°
answered°°°
Saul,°
David°
earnestly°°
asked°°
[leave] of°°
me°
[to go] to°
Bethlehem:° |
20:29
and he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me [to be there]: and now, if I have found favor in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he is not come unto the king's table. |
|
20:29
And he said,°°
Let me go,°°
I pray thee;°
for°
our family°
hath a sacrifice°
in the city;°
and my brother,°
he°
hath commanded°°
me [to be there]: and now,°
if°
I have found°°
favour°
in thine eyes,°
let me get away,°°
I pray thee,°
and see°°°
my brethren.°
Therefore°°
he cometh°°
not°
unto°
the king's°
table.° |
20:30
Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of a perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame, and unto the shame of thy mother's nakedness? |
|
20:30
Then Saul's°
anger°
was kindled°°
against Jonathan,°
and he said°°
unto him, Thou son°
of the perverse°°
rebellious°
[woman], do not°
I know°°
that°
thou°
hast chosen°°
the son°
of Jesse°
to thine own confusion,°
and unto the confusion°
of thy mother's°
nakedness?° |
20:31
For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die. |
|
20:31
For°
as long°°
as°°
the son°
of Jesse°
liveth°°°
upon°
the ground,°
thou°
shalt not°
be established,°°
nor thy kingdom.°
Wherefore now°
send°°
and fetch°°°
him unto°
me, for°
he°
shall surely die.°° |
20:32
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore should he be put to death? what hath he done? |
|
20:32
And Jonathan°
answered°°°
Saul°
his father,°
and said°°
unto°
him, Wherefore°
shall he be slain?°°
what°
hath he done?°° |
20:33
And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him; whereby Jonathan knew that is was determined of his father to put David to death. |
|
20:33
And Saul°
cast°°°
a javelin°
at°
him to smite°°
him: whereby Jonathan°
knew°°
that°
it°
was determined°°
of°°
his father°
to slay°°°
David.° |
20:34
So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame. |
|
20:34
So Jonathan°
arose°°
from°°
the table°
in fierce°
anger,°
and did eat°°
no°
meat°
the second°
day°
of the month:°
for°
he was grieved°°
for°
David,°
because°
his father°
had done him shame.°° |
20:35 ¶
And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him. |
|
20:35 ¶
And it came to pass°
in the morning,°
that Jonathan°
went out°°
into the field°
at the time appointed°
with David,°
and a little°
lad°
with°
him. |
20:36
And he said unto his lad, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him. |
|
20:36
And he said°°
unto his lad,°
Run,°°
find out°°
now°°
the arrows°
which°
I°
shoot.°°
[And] as the lad°
ran,°°
he°
shot°°
an arrow°
beyond°°
him. |
20:37
And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee? |
|
20:37
And when the lad°
was come°°
to°
the place°
of the arrow°
which°
Jonathan°
had shot,°°
Jonathan°
cried°°
after°
the lad,°
and said,°°
[Is] not°
the arrow°
beyond°°
thee? |
20:38
And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master. |
|
20:38
And Jonathan°
cried°°
after°
the lad,°
Make speed,°°
haste,°°°
stay°°
not.°
And Jonathan's°
lad°
gathered up°°°
the arrows,°°°
and came°°
to°
his master.° |
20:39
But the lad knew not anything: only Jonathan and David knew the matter. |
|
20:39
But the lad°
knew°°
not°
any thing:°
only°
Jonathan°
and David°
knew°°°
the matter.° |
20:40
And Jonathan gave his weapons unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city. |
|
20:40
And Jonathan°
gave°°°
his artillery°
unto°
his°
lad,°
and said°°
unto him, Go,°°°
carry°°
[them] to the city.° |
20:41 ¶
And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of [a place] toward the South, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded. |
|
20:41 ¶
[And] as soon as the lad°
was gone,°°
David°
arose°°
out of [a place] toward°°
the south,°
and fell°°
on his face°
to the ground,°
and bowed°°
himself°
three°
times:°
and they kissed°°
one°°
another,°
and wept°°
one°
with°
another,°
until°
David°
exceeded.°° |
20:42
And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of Jehovah, saying, Jehovah shall be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed, for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city. |
|
20:42
And Jonathan°
said°°
to David,°
Go°°°
in peace,°
forasmuch as°
we have sworn°°
both°
of us°
in the name°
of the LORD,°
saying,°°
The LORD°
be°
between°
me and thee, and between°
my seed°
and thy seed°
for°
ever.°°
And he arose°°
and departed:°°°
and Jonathan°
went°°
into the city.° |
