RF SA1 19:1 (B.C. 1059.) David Seeks safety at the Palace of Samuel, the High Priest, at Raamah, where Saul sends to seize him.
Saul consequently ordered his son Jonathan, and all his officers to kill David;
RF SA1 19:2 but Jonathan, Saul's son, had a great admiration for David, so Jonathan informed David, telling him: "My father, Saul, is trying to get you killed, so look out now in the morning, and keep yourself in the house, and do not come out.
RF SA1 19:3 But I will go and station myself beside my father at the parade, where you should be, and I will talk about you to my father, and will watch the result, and report it to you."
RF SA1 19:4 Jonathan, accordingly, spoke well about David to his father Saul, and said to him, "Do not let the king hurt David, his officer, for he has not injured you, but has done you very great services.
RF SA1 19:5 For he put his life in his hand and assailed the Philishtim, the EVER-LIVING effecting a great victory for all Israel, and you saw it, and were glad,—so why now sin against innocent blood by killing David without a cause?"
RF SA1 19:6 Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, "By the life of the LORD he shall not be killed!"
RF SA1 19:7 Jonathan afterwards went to David, and reported to him the whole conversation. Jonathan also brought David to Saul, and he associated with him as formerly.
RF SA1 19:8 (B.C. 1059.) David Routs the Philistines, but Saul in jealous fury, tries to murder him by his own hand.
When there was war again, David went out and fought with the Philishtim, and defeated them with a crushing defeat, so that they fled before him.
RF SA1 19:9 Then the Evil Spirit from the EVER-LIVING came upon Saul, and he sat in his room with his javelin in his hand, while David was playing,
RF SA1 19:10 and Saul tried to pin David to with his javelin to the wall; but he rushed from Saul's presence and the javelin fastened itself in the wall. So David fled and hid himself that night.
RF SA1 19:11 David flies by a window when Saul's Guards surround his house.
Saul, however, sent troops to David's house to keep watch and kill him in the morning, but Mikal his wife informed David saying: "If you do not save your life to-night, you will be killed to-morrow."
RF SA1 19:12 So Mikal let David down out of a window, and he successfully escaped and hid himself.
RF SA1 19:13 Then Mikal took the teraphim and put them on the bed with a goat's beard laid for its beard, and covered it with clothing,
RF SA1 19:14 so when Saul sent his guards to seize David, she said, "He is ill!"
RF SA1 19:15 Saul, however, sent messengers to see David himself, saying, "Bring him on his bed to me that I may kill him"
RF SA1 19:16 But when the messengers came they found the teraphim in the bed, with a goat's beard on its face!
RF SA1 19:17 Then Saul demanded of Mikal, "Why have you deluded me thus, and let my enemy escape from me, and hide himself?" And Mikal answered Saul, "He said to me, Let me escape or I will kill you."
RF SA1 19:18 (B.C. 1058.) David seeks safety at the palace of Samuel, the High Priest, at Raamah, where Saul sends to seize him.
Thus David escaped and hid himself and went to Samuel at Raamah, and informed him of all Saul had done to him. There he stayed with Samuel and they resided in the Residency.
RF SA1 19:19 But it was reported to Saul that David was at the Residency at Raamah.
RF SA1 19:20 Saul consequently sent messengers to arrest David; but when they saw the company of Reciters reciting, and Samuel standing up directing them, the divine spirit came upon Saul's messengers and they themselves recited.
RF SA1 19:21 And they reported it to Saul, who sent other messengers, but they also recited. Saul however again sent messengers a third time, and they also recited.
RF SA1 19:22 Then he went himself to Raamah, and when he came to the great cistern that is at Sikah, he asked, enquiring, "Where are Samuel and David?" and was told, "They are at his House near Raamah."
RF SA1 19:23 But when he went to the House near Raamah, then the divine spirit came upon him also, and he went dancing and reciting until he came to the Residency at Raamah.
RF SA1 19:24 He also tore off his clothes, and himself recited before Samuel, and fell down naked there all that day, and all that night. From this comes the saying,—"Is Saul also among the Reciters?"
—————
1. Ch. 19.19. Then he and Samuel went and lived at Nevith. "Nevith" was the "Bishop's Palace," as we could call it, situated in the town of Raamah. The subsequent narrative makes this probable, almost certain.—H.B. and F.F.
