1 Samuel 20:24-42

20:24

So David
<01732>

hid
<05641> (8735)

himself in the field
<07704>_:

and when the new moon
<02320>

was come, the king
<04428>

sat him down
<03427> (8799)

to eat
<0398> (8800)

meat
<03899>_.

20:25

And the king
<04428>

sat
<03427> (8799)

upon his seat
<04186>_,

as at other times
<06471>_,

[even] upon a seat
<04186>

by the wall
<07023>_:

and Jonathan
<03083>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and Abner
<074>

sat
<03427> (8799)

by Saul's
<07586>

side
<06654>_,

and David's
<01732>

place
<04725>

was empty
<06485> (8735)_.

20:26

Nevertheless Saul
<07586>

spake
<01696> (8765)

not any thing
<03972>

that day
<03117>_:

for he thought
<0559> (8804)_,

Something hath befallen
<04745>

him, he [is] not
<01115>

clean
<02889>_;

surely he [is] not clean
<02889>_.

20:27

And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,

[which was] the second
<08145>

[day] of the month
<02320>_,

that David's
<01732>

place
<04725>

was empty
<06485> (8735)_:

and Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jonathan
<03083>

his son
<01121>_,

Wherefore cometh
<0935> (8804)

not the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>

to meat
<03899>_,

neither yesterday
<08543>_,

nor to day
<03117>_?

20:28

And Jonathan
<03083>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Saul
<07586>_,

David
<01732>

earnestly
<07592> (8736)

asked
<07592> (8738)

[leave] of me
<05978>

[to go] to Bethlehem
<01035>_:

20:29

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let me go
<07971> (8761)_,

I pray thee; for our family
<04940>

hath a sacrifice
<02077>

in the city
<05892>_;

and my brother
<0251>_,

he hath commanded
<06680> (8765)

me [to be there]: and now, if I have found
<04672> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in thine eyes
<05869>_,

let me get away
<04422> (8735)_,

I pray thee, and see
<07200> (8799)

my brethren
<0251>_.

Therefore he cometh
<0935> (8804)

not unto the king's
<04428>

table
<07979>_.

20:30

Then Saul's
<07586>

anger
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

against Jonathan
<03083>_,

and he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thou son
<01121>

of the perverse
<05753> (8737)

rebellious
<04780>

[woman], do not I know
<03045> (8804)

that thou hast chosen
<0977> (8802)

the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>

to thine own confusion
<01322>_,

and unto the confusion
<01322>

of thy mother's
<0517>

nakedness
<06172>_?

{Thou...: or, Thou perverse rebel: Heb. Son of perverse rebellion}

20:31

For as long as
<03117>

the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>

liveth
<02425> (8804)

upon the ground
<0127>_,

thou shalt not be established
<03559> (8735)_,

nor thy kingdom
<04438>_.

Wherefore now send
<07971> (8798)

and fetch
<03947> (8798)

him unto me, for he shall surely die
<01121> <04194>_.

{shall...: Heb. is the son of death}

20:32

And Jonathan
<03083>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Saul
<07586>

his father
<01>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain
<04191> (8714)_?

what hath he done
<06213> (8804)_?

20:33

And Saul
<07586>

cast
<02904> (8686)

a javelin
<02595>

at him to smite
<05221> (8687)

him: whereby Jonathan
<03083>

knew
<03045> (8799)

that it was determined
<03617>

of his father
<01>

to slay
<04191> (8687)

David
<01732>_.

20:34

So Jonathan
<03083>

arose
<06965> (8799)

from the table
<07979>

in fierce
<02750>

anger
<0639>_,

and did eat
<0398> (8804)

no meat
<03899>

the second
<08145>

day
<03117>

of the month
<02320>_:

for he was grieved
<06087> (8738)

for David
<01732>_,

because his father
<01>

had done him shame
<03637> (8689)_.

20:35

And it came to pass in the morning
<01242>_,

that Jonathan
<03083>

went out
<03318> (8799)

into the field
<07704>

at the time appointed
<04150>

with David
<01732>_,

and a little
<06996>

lad
<05288>

with him.

20:36

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto his lad
<05288>_,

Run
<07323> (8798)_,

find out
<04672> (8798)

now the arrows
<02671>

which I shoot
<03384> (8688)_.

[And] as the lad
<05288>

ran
<07323> (8801)_,

he shot
<03384> (8804)

an arrow
<02678>

beyond
<05674> (8687)

him. {beyond...: Heb. to pass over him}

20:37

And when the lad
<05288>

was come
<0935> (8799)

to the place
<04725>

of the arrow
<02678>

which Jonathan
<03083>

had shot
<03384> (8804)_,

Jonathan
<03083>

cried
<07121> (8799)

after
<0310>

the lad
<05288>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] not the arrow
<02678>

beyond
<01973>

thee?

20:38

And Jonathan
<03083>

cried
<07121> (8799)

after
<0310>

the lad
<05288>_,

Make speed
<04120>_,

haste
<02363> (8798)_,

stay
<05975> (8799)

not. And Jonathan's
<03083>

lad
<05288>

gathered up
<03950> (8762)

the arrows
<02671> (8675) <02678>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to his master
<0113>_.

20:39

But the lad
<05288>

knew
<03045> (8804)

not any thing
<03972>_:

only Jonathan
<03083>

and David
<01732>

knew
<03045> (8804)

the matter
<01697>_.

20:40

And Jonathan
<03083>

gave
<05414> (8799)

his artillery
<03627>

unto his lad
<05288>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Go
<03212> (8798)_,

carry
<0935> (8685)

[them] to the city
<05892>_.

{artillery: Heb. instruments} {his lad: Heb. the lad that was his}

20:41

[And] as soon as the lad
<05288>

was gone
<0935> (8802)_,

David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8804)

out of [a place] toward
<0681>

the south
<05045>_,

and fell
<05307> (8799)

on his face
<0639>

to the ground
<0776>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself three
<07969>

times
<06471>_:

and they kissed
<05401> (8799)

one
<0376>

another
<07453>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)

one
<0376>

with another
<07453>_,

until David
<01732>

exceeded
<01431> (8689)_.

20:42

And Jonathan
<03083>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

in peace
<07965>_,

forasmuch as we have sworn
<07650> (8738)

both
<08147>

of us in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

be between me and thee, and between my seed
<02233>

and thy seed
<02233>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

And he arose
<06965> (8799)

and departed
<03212> (8799)_:

and Jonathan
<03083>

went
<0935> (8802)

into the city
<05892>_.

{forasmuch...: or, the LORD be witness of that which etc}
