6. Saul listened to Jonathan and said, “You’re right. As God lives, David lives. He will not be killed.”
7. Jonathan sent for David and reported to him everything that was said. Then he brought David back to Saul and everything was as it was before.
8. War broke out again and David went out to fight Philistines. He beat them badly, and they ran for their lives.
17. Saul stormed at Michal: “How could you play tricks on me like this? You sided with my enemy, and now he’s gotten away!”
18. Michal said, “He threatened me. He said, ‘Help me out of here or I’ll kill you.’”David made good his escape and went to Samuel at Ramah and told him everything Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel withdrew to the privacy of Naioth.
21. That was reported back to Saul, and he dispatched more men. They, too, were soon prophesying. So Saul tried a third time—a third set of men—and they ended up mindlessly raving as well!
22. Fed up, Saul went to Ramah himself. He came to the big cistern at Secu and inquired, “Where are Samuel and David?”A bystander said, “Over at Naioth in Ramah.”
