1 Samuel 19:1-24

Saul Tries to Kill David

1Saul told his son Jonathan and all the attendants to kill David. But Jonathan had taken a great liking to David 2and warned him, “My father Saul is looking for a chance to kill you. Be on your guard tomorrow morning; go into hiding and stay there. 3I will go out and stand with my father in the field where you are. I’ll speak to him about you and will tell you what I find out.”

4Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king do wrong to his servant David; he has not wronged you, and what he has done has benefited you greatly. 5He took his life in his hands when he killed the Philistine. The Lord won a great victory for all Israel, and you saw it and were glad. Why then would you do wrong to an innocent man like David by killing him for no reason?”

6Saul listened to Jonathan and took this oath: “As surely as the Lord lives, David will not be put to death.”

7So Jonathan called David and told him the whole conversation. He brought him to Saul, and David was with Saul as before.

8Once more war broke out, and David went out and fought the Philistines. He struck them with such force that they fled before him.

9But an evil19:9 Or But a harmful spirit from the Lord came on Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. While David was playing the lyre, 10Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear, but David eluded him as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David made good his escape.

11Saul sent men to David’s house to watch it and to kill him in the morning. But Michal, David’s wife, warned him, “If you don’t run for your life tonight, tomorrow you’ll be killed.” 12So Michal let David down through a window, and he fled and escaped. 13Then Michal took an idol and laid it on the bed, covering it with a garment and putting some goats’ hair at the head.

14When Saul sent the men to capture David, Michal said, “He is ill.”

15Then Saul sent the men back to see David and told them, “Bring him up to me in his bed so that I may kill him.” 16But when the men entered, there was the idol in the bed, and at the head was some goats’ hair.

17Saul said to Michal, “Why did you deceive me like this and send my enemy away so that he escaped?”

Michal told him, “He said to me, ‘Let me get away. Why should I kill you?’ ”

18When David had fled and made his escape, 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. 19Word came to Saul: “David is in Naioth at Ramah”; 20so he sent men to capture him. But when they saw a group of prophets prophesying, with Samuel standing there as their leader, the Spirit of God came on Saul’s men, and they also prophesied. 21Saul was told about it, and he sent more men, and they prophesied too. Saul sent men a third time, and they also prophesied. 22Finally, he himself left for Ramah and went to the great cistern at Seku. And he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?”

“Over in Naioth at Ramah,” they said.

23So Saul went to Naioth at Ramah. But the Spirit of God came even on him, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth. 24He stripped off his garments, and he too prophesied in Samuel’s presence. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why people say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”

撒母耳记上 19:1-24

扫罗试图杀大卫

1扫罗吩咐他儿子约拿单和众臣仆去杀掉大卫。但约拿单非常喜爱大卫2便告诉他,说:“我父亲要杀你,明天早上你要小心,找个僻静的地方躲起来。 3我会出去和父亲站在你藏身的田间,跟他提你的事,然后把消息告诉你。” 4约拿单就在父亲面前替大卫说好话,他说:“王不要伤害大卫,他从来没有对不起王,他所做的使王大受益处。 5他冒着生命危险去杀非利士人,耶和华使以色列人大获全胜,当时你看见了,非常欢喜,现在为什么要犯罪,枉杀无辜的大卫呢?” 6扫罗听了约拿单的话,就凭永活的耶和华起誓说:“我不杀大卫。” 7约拿单叫来大卫,把经过告诉他,带他去见扫罗大卫又像以前一样伺候扫罗

8后来,战事再度爆发,大卫领兵与非利士人交战,大败敌人,杀得他们四散溃逃。 9一天,扫罗手里拿着矛正坐在家中,从耶和华那里来的邪灵降临在扫罗身上。大卫正在弹琴, 10扫罗想用矛把大卫刺透,钉在墙上,大卫躲开了,矛插在了墙上。大卫当晚逃走了。

11扫罗派人监视大卫的家,要在早上杀死他。大卫的妻子米甲警告他说:“如果你今晚不逃命,明早必死无疑。” 12于是,她从窗口把大卫缒下去,让他逃走了。 13然后她把家中的神像放在床上,头枕在山羊毛的枕头上,盖上被子。 14扫罗派人来捉拿大卫的时候,米甲说他病了。 15扫罗又派人去见大卫,并吩咐说:“把他连床一起抬来,我好杀他。” 16众人进去发现躺在床上的是一个神像,头枕在山羊毛的枕头上。 17扫罗米甲:“你为什么欺骗我,让我的敌人逃走?”米甲答道:“他说如果我不让他逃走,就杀了我。”

18大卫逃到住在拉玛撒母耳那里,把扫罗的所作所为告诉他。后来,他和撒母耳拿约住了下来。 19扫罗听说大卫拉玛拿约20就派人去捉拿他。扫罗的人看到一群先知在说预言,撒母耳在当中带领他们。上帝的灵也临到扫罗的人,他们也说起预言来。 21扫罗听说后又派人去,派去的人也说起预言来。扫罗第三次派人去,派去的人同样说起预言来。 22最后扫罗亲自前往拉玛,走到西沽的大井,问撒母耳大卫在哪里,有人说在拉玛拿约23扫罗便去拉玛拿约。上帝的灵临到扫罗,他就一边走一边说起预言来,一直到拉玛拿约24他脱下自己的衣服,在撒母耳面前说起预言来。他赤身躺了一天一夜。因此有句俗语说:“扫罗也在先知当中吗?”
