1扫罗对他儿子约拿单和众臣仆说，要杀大卫；扫罗的儿子约拿单却甚喜爱大卫。Then Saul ordered his son Jonathan and all his servants to kill David. But Jonathan delighted greatly in David,
2约拿单告诉大卫说：“我父扫罗想要杀你，所以明日早晨你要小心，到一个僻静地方藏身。so he warned David, saying, “My father Saul intends to kill you. Be on your guard in the morning; find a secret place and hide there.
3我就出到你所藏的田里，站在我父亲旁边与他谈论。我看他情形怎样，我必告诉你。”I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, so I can ask about you. And if I find out anything, I will tell you.”
4约拿单向他父亲扫罗替大卫说好话，说：“王不可得罪王的仆人大卫；因为他未曾得罪你，他所行的都与你大有益处。Then Jonathan spoke well of David to his father Saul and said to him, “The king should not sin against his servant David; he has not sinned against you. In fact, his actions have been highly beneficial to you.
5他拚命杀那非利士人，耶和华为以色列众人大行拯救；那时你看见，甚是欢喜，现在为何无故要杀大卫，流无辜人的血，自己取罪呢？”He took his life in his hands when he struck down the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”
6扫罗听了约拿单的话，就指着永生的耶和华起誓说：“我必不杀他。”Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan and swore an oath: “As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be put to death.”
7约拿单叫大卫来，把这一切事告诉他，带他去见扫罗。他就仍然侍立在扫罗面前。So Jonathan summoned David and told him all these things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and David was with Saul as before.
8此后又有争战的事。大卫出去与非利士人打仗，大大杀败他们，他们就在他面前逃跑。When war broke out again, David went out and fought the Philistines and struck them with such a mighty blow that they fled before him.
9从耶和华那里来的恶魔又降在扫罗身上（扫罗手里拿枪坐在屋里），大卫就用手弹琴。But as Saul was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand, a spirit of distress from the LORD came upon him. While David was playing the harp,
10扫罗用枪想要刺透大卫，钉在墙上；他却躲开，扫罗的枪刺入墙内。当夜大卫逃走，躲避了。Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear. But David eluded him and the spear struck the wall. And David fled and escaped that night.
11扫罗打发人到大卫的房屋那里窥探他，要等到天亮杀他。大卫的妻米甲对他说：“你今夜若不逃命，明日你要被杀。”Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and kill him in the morning. But David’s wife Michal warned him, “If you do not run for your life tonight, tomorrow you will be dead!”
12于是米甲将大卫从窗户里下去，大卫就逃走，躲避了。So Michal lowered David from the window, and he ran away and escaped.
13米甲把家中的放在床上，头枕在山羊毛装的枕头上，用被遮盖。Then Michal took a household idol and laid it in the bed, placed some goat hair on its head, and covered it with a garment.
14扫罗打发人去捉拿大卫，米甲说：“他病了。”When Saul sent the messengers to seize David, Michal said, “He is ill.”
15扫罗又打发人去看大卫，说：“当连床将他抬来，我好杀他。”But Saul sent the messengers back to see David and told them, “Bring him up to me in his bed so I can kill him.”
16使者进去，看见床上有神像，头枕在山羊毛装的枕头上。And when the messengers entered, there was the idol in the bed with the goat hair on its head.
17扫罗对米甲说：“你为什么这样欺哄我，放我仇敌逃走呢？”米甲回答说：“他对我说：‘你放我走，不然我要杀你。’”And Saul said to Michal, “Why did you deceive me like this? You sent my enemy away, and he has escaped!” Michal replied, “He said to me, ‘Help me get away, or I will kill you!’”
18大卫逃避，来到拉玛见撒母耳，将扫罗向他所行的事述说了一遍。他和撒母耳就往拿约去居住。So David ran away and escaped. And he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there.
19有人告诉扫罗，说大卫在拉玛的拿约。When Saul was told that David was at Naioth in Ramah,
20扫罗打发人去捉拿大卫。去的人见有一班先知都受感说话，撒母耳站在其中监管他们；打发去的人也受 神的灵感动说话。he sent messengers to seize him. But when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, with Samuel leading them, the Spirit of God came upon them, and Saul’s messengers also began to prophesy.
21有人将这事告诉扫罗，他又打发人去，他们也受感说话。扫罗第三次打发人去，他们也受感说话。When this was reported to Saul, he sent more messengers, but they began to prophesy as well. So Saul tried again and sent messengers a third time, and even they began to prophesy.
22然后扫罗自己往拉玛去，到了西沽的大井，问人说：“撒母耳和大卫在哪里呢？”有人说：“在拉玛的拿约。”Finally, Saul himself left for Ramah and came to the large cistern at Secu, where he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” “At Naioth in Ramah,” he was told.
23他就往拉玛的拿约去。 神的灵也感动他，一面走一面说话，直到拉玛的拿约。So Saul went to Naioth in Ramah. But the Spirit of God came upon even Saul, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24他就脱了衣服，在撒母耳面前受感说话，一昼一夜露体躺卧。因此有句俗语说：“扫罗也列在先知中吗？”Then Saul stripped off his robes and also prophesied before Samuel. And he collapsed and lay naked all that day and night. That is why it is said, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
