And Jonathan H3083 spoke H1696 good H2896 of David H1732 to Saul H7586 his father, H1 and said H559 to him, Let not the king H4428 sin H2398 against his servant, H5650 against David; H1732 because H3588 he has not sinned H2398 against you, and because H3588 his works H4639 have been to you-ward very H3966 good: H2896

For he did put H7760 his life H5315 in his hand, H3709 and slew H5221 the Philistine, H6430 and the LORD H3068 worked H6213 a great H1419 salvation H8668 for all H3605 Israel: H3478 you saw H7200 it, and did rejoice: H8055 why H4100 then will you sin H2398 against innocent H5355 blood, H1818 to slay H4191 David H1732 without H2600 a cause? H2600

And Jonathan H3083 answered H6030 Saul H7586 his father, H1 and said H559 to him, Why H4100 shall he be slain? H4191 what H4100 has he done? H6213

Moreover, my father, H1 see, H7200 yes, H637 see H7200 the skirt H3671 of your robe H4598 in my hand: H3027 for in that I cut H3772 off the skirt H3671 of your robe, H4598 and killed H2026 you not, know H3045 you and see H7200 that there is neither H369 evil H7451 nor transgression H6588 in my hand, H3027 and I have not sinned H2398 against you; yet you hunt H6658 my soul H5315 to take H3947 it.

The LORD H3068 render H7725 to every man H376 his righteousness H6666 and his faithfulness; H530 for the LORD H3068 delivered H5414 you into my hand H3027 to day, H3117 but I would H14 not stretch H7971 forth my hand H3027 against the LORD's H3068 anointed. H4899

For all H3605 his judgments H4941 were before H5048 me: and as for his statutes, H2708 I did not depart H5493 from them.

Therefore the LORD H3068 has recompensed H7725 me according to my righteousness; H6666 according to my cleanness H1252 in his eye H5869 sight. H5869

If you forbear H2820 to deliver H5337 them that are drawn H3947 to death, H4194 and those that are ready H4131 to be slain; H2027

If H3588 you say, H559 Behold, H2005 we knew H3045 it not; does not he that ponders H8505 the heart H3826 consider H995 it? and he that keeps H5341 your soul, H5315 does not he know H3045 it? and shall not he render H7725 to every man H120 according to his works? H6467

Open H6605 your mouth H6310 for the dumb H483 in the cause H1779 of all H3605 such as are appointed H1121 to destruction. H2475

Open H6605 your mouth, H6310 judge H8199 righteously, H6664 and plead H1777 the cause of the poor H6041 and needy. H34

And Saul H7586 said H559 to him, Why H4100 have you conspired H7194 against H5921 me, you and the son H1121 of Jesse, H3448 in that you have given H5414 him bread, H3899 and a sword, H2719 and have inquired H7592 of God H430 for him, that he should rise H6965 against H413 me, to lie in wait, H693 as at this H2088 day? H3117

And the men H376 of Israel H3478 said, H559 Have you seen H7200 this H2088 man H376 that is come H5927 up? surely H3588 to defy H2778 Israel H3478 is he come H5927 up: and it shall be, that the man H376 who H834 kills H5221 him, the king H4428 will enrich H6238 him with great H1419 riches, H6239 and will give H5414 him his daughter, H1323 and make H6213 his father's H1 house H1004 free H2670 in Israel. H3478

Why David H1732 arose H6965 and went, H3212 he and his men, H582 and slew H5221 of the Philistines H6430 two hundred H3967 men; H376 and David H1732 brought H935 their foreskins, H6190 and they gave them in full H4390 tale to the king, H4428 that he might be the king's H4428 son H2859 in law. H2860 And Saul H7586 gave H5414 him Michal H4324 his daughter H1323 to wife. H802

Therefore Saul H7586 removed H5493 him from him, and made H7760 him his captain H8269 over a thousand; H505 and he went H3318 out and came H935 in before H6440 the people. H5971

And David H1732 said H559 to Ahimelech H288 the priest, H3548 The king H4428 has commanded H6680 me a business, H1697 and has said H559 to me, Let no H408 man H376 know H3045 any H3972 thing H1697 of the business H1697 about which H834 I send H7971 you, and what H834 I have commanded H6680 you: and I have appointed H3045 my servants H5288 to such H492 and such H492 a place.
