1 Samuel 19

Bible Darby

1Et Saül parla à Jonathan, son fils, et à tous ses serviteurs, de faire mourir David (or Jonathan, fils de Saül, était très affectionné à David),

2et Jonathan en informa David, disant : Saül, mon père, cherche à te faire mourir ; et maintenant, je te prie, sois sur tes gardes, au matin, et demeure dans quelque lieu secret, et cache-toi.

3Et moi, je sortirai, et je me tiendrai à côté de mon père, dans la campagne où tu seras ; et je parlerai de toi à mon père, et je verrai ce qu’il en est, et te le ferai savoir.

4Et Jonathan parla en bien de David à Saül, son père, et lui dit : Que le roi ne pèche point contre son serviteur, contre David, car il n’a point péché contre toi ; et même ce qu’il a fait est très avantageux pour toi.

5Car il a mis sa vie en sa main, et a frappé le Philistin, et l’Éternel a opéré une grande délivrance pour tout Israël ; tu l’as vu et tu t’en es réjoui ; pourquoi donc pécherais-tu contre le sang innocent, en faisant mourir David sans cause ?

6Et Saül écouta la voix de Jonathan, et Saül jura : L’Éternel est vivant, si on le fait mourir !

7Et Jonathan appela David, et Jonathan lui rapporta toutes ces choses. Et Jonathan amena David à Saül, et il fut devant lui comme auparavant.

8Et il y eut de nouveau la guerre ; et David entra en campagne et combattit contre les Philistins et les frappa d’un grand coup, et ils s’enfuirent devant lui.

9Et le mauvais esprit [envoyé] de l’Éternel vint sur Saül : et il était assis dans sa maison, sa lance à la main, et David jouait [de la harpe].

10Et Saül chercha à frapper de sa lance David et la paroi ; et il se détourna de devant Saül, qui, de sa lance, frappa la paroi. Et David s’enfuit, et échappa cette nuit-là.

11Et Saül envoya des messagers à la maison de David, pour le surveiller et le faire mourir au matin. Et Mical, sa femme, en informa David, disant : Si tu ne sauves pas ta vie cette nuit, demain tu seras mis à mort.

12Et Mical fit descendre David par la fenêtre ; et il s’en alla et s’enfuit, et échappa.

13Et Mical prit le théraphim et le mit dans le lit, et mit à son chevet un tissu de poils de chèvre, et le couvrit d’un tapis.

14Et Saül envoya des messagers pour prendre David, et elle dit : Il est malade.

15Et Saül envoya les messagers pour voir David, disant : Apportez-le-moi dans le lit, pour le mettre à mort.

16Et les messagers vinrent, et voici, le théraphim était sur le lit, et un tissu de poils de chèvre à son chevet.

17Et Saül dit à Mical : Pourquoi m’as-tu ainsi trompé et as-tu laissé aller mon ennemi, de sorte qu’il s’est échappé ? Et Mical dit à Saül : Il m’a dit : Laisse-moi aller, pourquoi te tuerais-je ?

18Et David s’enfuit, et il échappa ; et il vint vers Samuel à Rama, et lui rapporta tout ce que Saül lui avait fait. Et ils s’en allèrent, lui et Samuel, et ils habitèrent à Naïoth.

19Et on le rapporta à Saül, disant : Voici, David est à Naïoth, en Rama.

20Et Saül envoya des messagers pour prendre David ; et ils virent une assemblée de prophètes qui prophétisaient, et Samuel se tenait là, les présidant. Et l’Esprit de Dieu vint sur les messagers de Saül, et eux aussi ils prophétisèrent.

21Et on le rapporta à Saül, et il envoya d’autres messagers ; et eux aussi ils prophétisèrent. Et Saül envoya encore des messagers, pour la troisième fois, et eux aussi ils prophétisèrent.

22Et il alla, lui aussi, à Rama, et vint jusqu’au grand puits qui est à Sécu ; et il s’informa, disant : Où sont Samuel et David ? Et on lui dit : Voici, ils sont à Naïoth, en Rama.

23Et il se rendit là, à Naïoth, en Rama. Et l’Esprit de Dieu vint sur lui aussi, et, continuant son chemin, il prophétisa, jusqu’à ce qu’il fut venu à Naïoth, en Rama.

24Et lui aussi, il se dépouilla de ses vêtements, et prophétisa, lui aussi, devant Samuel, et tomba nu par terre, tout ce jour-là et toute la nuit. C’est pourquoi on dit : Saül aussi est-il parmi les prophètes ?

Reina-Valera 1909

1Y HABLÓ Saúl á Jonathán su hijo, y á todos sus criados, para que matasen á David; mas Jonathán hijo de Saúl amaba á David en gran manera.

2Y dió aviso á David, diciendo: Saúl mi padre procura matarte; por tanto mira ahora por ti hasta la mañana, y estáte en paraje oculto, y escóndete:

3Y yo saldré y estaré junto á mi padre en el campo donde estuvieres: y hablaré de ti á mi padre, y te haré saber lo que notare.

4Y Jonathán habló bien de David á Saúl su padre, y díjole: No peque el rey contra su siervo David, pues que ninguna cosa ha cometido contra ti: antes sus obras te han sido muy buenas;

5Porque él puso su alma en su palma, é hirió al Filisteo, y Jehová hizo una gran salud á todo Israel. Tú lo viste, y te holgaste: ¿por qué pues pecarás contra la sangre inocente, matando á David sin causa?

6Y oyendo Saúl la voz de Jonathán, juró: Vive Jehová, que no morirá.

7Llamando entonces Jonathán á David, declaróle todas estas palabras; y él mismo presentó á David á Saúl, y estuvo delante de él como antes.

8Y tornó á hacerse guerra: y salió David y peleó contra los Filisteos, é hiriólos con grande estrago, y huyeron delante de él.

9Y el espíritu malo de parte de Jehová fué sobre Saúl: y estando sentado en su casa tenía una lanza á mano, mientras David estaba tañendo con su mano.

10Y Saúl procuró enclavar á David con la lanza en la pared; mas él se apartó de delante de Saúl, el cual hirió con la lanza en la pared; y David huyó, y escapóse aquella noche.

11Saúl envió luego mensajeros á casa de David para que lo guardasen, y lo matasen á la mañana. Mas Michâl su mujer lo descubrió á David, diciendo: Si no salvares tu vida esta noche, mañana serás muerto.

12Y descolgó Michâl á David por una ventana; y él se fué, y huyó, y escapóse.

13Tomó luego Michâl una estatua, y púsola sobre la cama, y acomodóle por cabecera una almohada de pelos de cabra, y cubrióla con una ropa.

14Y cuando Saúl envió mensajeros que tomasen á David, ella respondió: Está enfermo.

15Y tornó Saúl á enviar mensajeros para que viesen á David, diciendo: Traédmelo en la cama para que lo mate.

16Y como los mensajeros entraron, he aquí la estatua estaba en la cama, y una almohada de pelos de cabra por cabecera.

17Entonces Saúl dijo á Michâl: ¿Por qué me has así engañado, y has dejado escapar á mi enemigo? Y Michâl respondió á Saúl: Porque él me dijo: Déjame ir; si no, yo te mataré.

18Huyó pues David, y escapóse, y vino á Samuel en Rama, y díjole todo lo que Saúl había hecho con él. Y fuéronse él y Samuel, y moraron en Najoth.

19Y fué dado aviso á Saúl, diciendo: He aquí que David está en Najoth en Rama.

20Y envió Saúl mensajeros que trajesen á David, los cuales vieron una compañía de profetas que profetizaban, y á Samuel que estaba allí, y los presidía. Y fué el espíritu de Dios sobre los mensajeros de Saúl, y ellos también profetizaron.

21Y hecho que fué saber á Saúl, él envió otros mensajeros, los cuales también profetizaron. Y Saúl volvió á enviar por tercera vez mensajeros, y ellos también profetizaron.

22Entonces él mismo vino á Rama; y llegando al pozo grande que está en Sochô, preguntó diciendo: ¿Dónde están Samuel y David? Y fuéle respondido: He aquí están en Najoth en Rama.

23Y fué allá á Najoth en Rama; y también vino sobre él el espíritu de Dios, é iba profetizando, hasta que llegó á Najoth en Rama.

24Y él también se desnudó sus vestidos, y profetizó igualmente delante de Samuel, y cayó desnudo todo aquel día y toda aquella noche. De aquí se dijo: ¿También Saúl entre los profetas?

King James Version

1And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.

2But Jonathan Saul’s son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:

3And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee.

4And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:

5For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?

6And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.

7And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shewed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.

8And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.

9And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.

10And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.

11Saul also sent messengers unto David’s house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David’s wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain.

12So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.

13And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.

14And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.

15And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.

16And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats’ hair for his bolster.

17And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?

18So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.

19And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.

20And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

21And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.

22Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.

23And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

24And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?

World English Bible

1Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, greatly delighted in David.

2Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, live in a secret place, and hide yourself.

3I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you.”

4Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;

5for he put his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”

6Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, “As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death.”

7Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.

8There was war again. David went out and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.

9An evil spirit from the LORD was on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing music with his hand.

10Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence; and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled and escaped that night.

11Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you don’t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”

12So Michal let David down through the window. He went away, fled, and escaped.

13Michal took the teraphim and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head and covered it with clothes.

14When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”

15Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”

16When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head.

17Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’”

18Now David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth.

19Saul was told, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”

20Saul sent messengers to seize David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, God’s Spirit came on Saul’s messengers, and they also prophesied.

21When Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.

22Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” One said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”

23He went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then God’s Spirit came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

24He also stripped off his clothes. He also prophesied before Samuel and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
