| [1]And Dauid fled from Naioth whiche is in Rama, and came, and said before Ionathan, What haue I done? wherin am I faultie? what is the sinne that I haue committed before thy father, that he seketh my lyfe |
[1]And DavidH1732 fledH1272[H8799] from NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414, and cameH935[H8799] and saidH559[H8799] beforeH6440 JonathanH3083, What have I doneH6213[H8804]? what is mine iniquityH5771? and what is my sinH2403 beforeH6440 thy fatherH1, that he seekethH1245[H8764] my lifeH5315? |
| [2]He sayde vnto him: God forbid, thou shalt not dye: Behold, my father wil do nothing either great or smal, but that he will shewe it me: And howe should my father hyde this thing from me? He will not do it |
[2]And he saidH559[H8799] unto him, God forbidH2486; thou shalt not dieH4191[H8799]: behold, my fatherH1 will doH6213[H8799][H8675][H6213][H8804] nothingH1697 either greatH1419 or smallH6996, but that he will shewH1540[H8799][H241] it me: and why should my fatherH1 hideH5641[H8686] this thing from me? it is not soH1697. |
| [3]And Dauid sware againe, and sayde: Thy father knoweth that I haue found grace in thyne eyes, & therfore he thinketh, Ionathan shall not knowe it, lest he be sory: And in very deede, euen as the Lorde lyueth, and as thy soule liueth, there is but a steppe betweene me and death |
[3]And DavidH1732 swareH7650[H8735] moreover, and saidH559[H8799], Thy fatherH1 certainlyH3045[H8800] knowethH3045[H8804] that I have foundH4672[H8804] graceH2580 in thine eyesH5869; and he saithH559[H8799], Let not JonathanH3083 knowH3045[H8799] this, lest he be grievedH6087[H8735]: but trulyH199 as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, there is but a stepH6587 between me and deathH4194. |
| [4]Then sayde Ionathan vnto Dauid: Whatsoeuer thy soule desireth, that I will do vnto thee |
[4]Then saidH559[H8799] JonathanH3083 unto DavidH1732, Whatsoever thy soulH5315 desirethH559[H8799], I will even doH6213 it for theeH8799. |
| [5]And Dauid sayd vnto Ionathan: Beholde, to morowe is the beginning of the moneth, and I should sit with the king at meate: But let me go, that I may hide my selfe in the fieldes vnto the thirde day at euen |
[5]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto JonathanH3083, Behold, to morrowH4279 is the new moonH2320, and I should not failH3427[H8800] to sitH3427[H8799] with the kingH4428 at meatH398[H8800]: but let me goH7971[H8765], that I may hideH5641[H8738] myself in the fieldH7704 unto the thirdH7992 day at evenH6153. |
| [6]If thy father speake of me, then say: Dauid asked leaue of me, that he might go to Bethlehem to his owne citie, for there is holden a yerely feast for all the kinred |
[6]If thy fatherH1 at allH6485[H8800] missH6485[H8799] me, then sayH559[H8804], DavidH1732 earnestlyH7592[H8736] askedH7592[H8738] leave of me that he might runH7323[H8800] to BethlehemH1035 his cityH5892: for there is a yearlyH3117 sacrificeH2077 there for all the familyH4940. |
| [7]And if he say it is well done, then thy seruaunt shal haue peace: But and if he be angry, then be sure that wickednesse is vtterly concluded of him |
[7]If he sayH559[H8799] thus, It is wellH2896; thy servantH5650 shall have peaceH7965: but if he be veryH2734[H8800] wrothH2734[H8799], then be sureH3045[H8798] that evilH7451 is determinedH3615 by himH8804. |
| [8]And then thou shalt shewe mercy vnto thy seruaunt for thou hast ioyned thy seruaunt into a couenant of the Lord with thee: Notwithstandyng, if there be in me iniquitie, slay me thy selfe? for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father |
[8]Therefore thou shalt dealH6213[H8804] kindlyH2617 with thy servantH5650; for thou hast broughtH935[H8689] thy servantH5650 into a covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 with thee: notwithstanding, if there beH3426 in me iniquityH5771, slayH4191[H8685] me thyself; for why shouldest thou bringH935[H8686] me to thy fatherH1? |
| [9]And Ionathan aunswered, God kepe that from thee: For if I knewe that wickednesse were concluded of my fathere to come vpon thee, woulde not I tel it thee |
[9]And JonathanH3083 saidH559[H8799], Far be it from theeH2486: for if I knewH3045[H8799] certainlyH3045[H8800] that evilH7451 were determinedH3615[H8804] by my fatherH1 to comeH935[H8800] upon thee, then would not I tellH5046 it theeH8686? |
| [10]Then sayd Dauid to Ionathan: Who shall tell me? how [shall I knowe] if thy father aunswere thee cruelly |
[10]Then saidH559[H8799] DavidH1732 to JonathanH3083, Who shall tellH5046[H8686] me? or what if thy fatherH1 answerH6030[H8799] thee roughlyH7186? |
| [11]And Ionathan sayde vnto Dauid: Come, and let vs go out into the fielde. And they went out both of them into the fielde |
[11]And JonathanH3083 saidH559[H8799] unto DavidH1732, ComeH3212[H8798], and let us go outH3318[H8799] into the fieldH7704. And they went outH3318[H8799] bothH8147 of them into the fieldH7704. |
| [12]And Ionathan sayde vnto Dauid: O Lorde God of Israel, when I haue groped my fathers mynd, as this time to morowe, or within these three dayes, and if it be wel with Dauid, and I then sende not vnto thee, and shew it thee |
[12]And JonathanH3083 saidH559[H8799] unto DavidH1732, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, when I have soundedH2713[H8799] my fatherH1 about to morrowH4279 any timeH6256, or the thirdH7992 day, and, behold, if there be goodH2895[H8804] toward DavidH1732, and I then sendH7971[H8799] not unto thee, and shewH1540[H8804] it theeH241; |
| [13]The Lord do so and muche more vnto Ionathan, But if my father haue pleasure to do thee euyll, I will shewe thee also, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace, and the Lorde be with thee, as he hath ben with my father |
[13]The LORDH3068 doH6213[H8799] soH3541 and much moreH3254[H8686] to JonathanH3083: but if it pleaseH3190[H8686] my fatherH1 to do thee evilH7451, then I will shewH1540[H8804][H241] it thee, and send thee awayH7971[H8765], that thou mayest goH1980[H8804] in peaceH7965: and the LORDH3068 be with thee, as he hath been with my fatherH1. |
| [14]And [I require] not whiles I liue, [for I dout not] but thou wilt shewe me the mercie of the Lord, that I die not |
[14]And thou shalt not only while yetH518 I liveH2416 shewH6213[H8799] me the kindnessH2617 of the LORDH3068, that I dieH4191 notH8799: |
| [15]But [I require] that thou cut not of thy mercy from my house for euer, no not when the Lord hath destroyed the enemies of Dauid, euery one from the face of the earth |
[15]But also thou shalt not cut offH3772[H8686] thy kindnessH2617 from my houseH1004 forH5704 everH5769: no, not when the LORDH3068 hath cut offH3772[H8687] the enemiesH341[H8802] of DavidH1732 every oneH376 from the faceH6440 of the earthH127. |
| [16]And so Ionathan made a bonde with the house of Dauid, [saying:] Let the lord require it at the handes of Dauids enemies |
[16]So JonathanH3083 madeH3772[H8799] a covenant with the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, saying, Let the LORDH3068 even requireH1245[H8765] it at the handH3027 of David'sH1732 enemiesH341.[H8802] |
| [17]And Ionathan sware againe vnto Dauid, because he loued him (For he loued him as his owne soule |
[17]And JonathanH3083 caused DavidH1732 to swearH7650[H8687] againH3254[H8686], because he lovedH160 him: for he lovedH157[H8804] him as he lovedH160 his own soulH5315. |
| [18]Then sayde Ionathan to Dauid: To morowe is the first day of the moone, and thou shalt be missed, because the place where thou wast wont to sit, shall be emptie |
[18]Then JonathanH3083 saidH559[H8799] to DavidH1732, To morrowH4279 is the new moonH2320: and thou shalt be missedH6485[H8738], because thy seatH4186 will be emptyH6485.[H8735] |
| [19]Therfore thou shalt hyde thy self three dayes, [then] thou shalt go downe quickly, and come to the place where thou diddest hyde thy selfe when the busines was in hande, and shalt remayne by the stone Esel |
[19]And when thou hast stayed three daysH8027[H8765], then thou shalt go downH3381[H8799] quicklyH3966, and comeH935[H8804] to the placeH4725 where thou didst hideH5641[H8738] thyself whenH3117 the businessH4639 was in hand, and shalt remainH3427[H8804] byH681 the stoneH68 EzelH237. |
| [20]And I wil shoote three arowes on the syde therof, as though I shot them at a marke |
[20]And I will shootH3384[H8686] threeH7969 arrowsH2671 on the sideH6654 thereof, as though I shotH7971[H8763] at a markH4307. |
| [21]And I wil sende a lad, and byd him go seke the arrowes. And if I say vnto the lad, See, the arrowes are on this side thee, bring them: then come thou, for it is peace and no hurt, as the Lorde lyueth |
[21]And, behold, I will sendH7971[H8799] a ladH5288, saying, GoH3212[H8798], find outH4672[H8798] the arrowsH2671. If I expresslyH559[H8800] sayH559[H8799] unto the ladH5288, Behold, the arrowsH2671 are on this side of thee, takeH3947[H8798] them; then comeH935[H8798] thou: for there is peaceH7965 to thee, and no hurtH1697; as the LORDH3068 livethH2416. |
| [22]But and if I say vnto the lad, behold the arows are beyond thee, go thy way, for the Lorde hath sent thee away |
[22]But if I sayH559[H8799] thus unto the young manH5958, Behold, the arrowsH2671 are beyondH1973 thee; go thy wayH3212[H8798]: for the LORDH3068 hath sent thee awayH7971.[H8765] |
| [23]And as touching this which thou and I haue spoken, behold the Lorde be betweene thee and me for euer |
[23]And as touching the matterH1697 which thou and I have spokenH1696[H8765] of, behold, the LORDH3068 be between thee and me forH5704 everH5769. |
| [24]And so Dauid hid him selfe in the fielde: And when the newe moone was come, the king sate him downe to eate meate |
[24]So DavidH1732 hidH5641[H8735] himself in the fieldH7704: and when the new moonH2320 was come, the kingH4428 sat him downH3427[H8799] to eatH398[H8800] meatH3899. |
| [25]And the king sate as at other times vpon his seate, euen vpon his seate by the wall: And Ionathan arose, and Abner sate by Sauls syde, and Dauids place was emptie |
[25]And the kingH4428 satH3427[H8799] upon his seatH4186, as at other timesH6471, even upon a seatH4186 by the wallH7023: and JonathanH3083 aroseH6965[H8799], and AbnerH74 satH3427[H8799] by Saul'sH7586 sideH6654, and David'sH1732 placeH4725 was emptyH6485.[H8735] |
| [26]Neuerthelesse, Saul sayde nothing at all that day: For he thought, Some thing hath befallen him, though he were cleane |
[26]Nevertheless SaulH7586 spakeH1696[H8765] not any thingH3972 that dayH3117: for he thoughtH559[H8804], Something hath befallenH4745 him, he is notH1115 cleanH2889; surely he is not cleanH2889. |
| [27]But on the morowe, whiche was the second day of the newe moone, Dauids place was emptie againe: And Saul sayde vnto Ionathan his sonne, Wherfore commeth not that sonne of Isai to meate, neither yesterday nor to day |
[27]And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, which was the secondH8145 day of the monthH2320, that David'sH1732 placeH4725 was emptyH6485[H8735]: and SaulH7586 saidH559[H8799] unto JonathanH3083 his sonH1121, Wherefore comethH935[H8804] not the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 to meatH3899, neither yesterdayH8543, nor to dayH3117? |
| [28]And Ionathan aunswered vnto Saul: Dauid asked licence of me to go to Bethlehem |
[28]And JonathanH3083 answeredH6030[H8799] SaulH7586, DavidH1732 earnestlyH7592[H8736] askedH7592[H8738] leave of meH5978 to go to BethlehemH1035: |
| [29]For he sayd: Let me go I pray thee, for our kinred doth hold an offering in the citie, and my brother hath sent for me: and therfore if I haue found fauour in thyne eyes, let me go I pray thee, and see my brethren. This is the cause that he commeth not vnto the kinges table |
[29]And he saidH559[H8799], Let me goH7971[H8761], I pray thee; for our familyH4940 hath a sacrificeH2077 in the cityH5892; and my brotherH251, he hath commandedH6680[H8765] me to be there: and now, if I have foundH4672[H8804] favourH2580 in thine eyesH5869, let me get awayH4422[H8735], I pray thee, and seeH7200[H8799] my brethrenH251. Therefore he comethH935[H8804] not unto the king'sH4428 tableH7979. |
| [30]Then was Saul angry with Ionathan, and sayd vnto him: Thou sonne of the wicked rebellious woman, do not I knowe that thou hast chosen the sonne of Isai vnto thyne owne rebuke, and vnto the rebuke and shame of thy mother |
[30]Then Saul'sH7586 angerH639 was kindledH2734[H8799] against JonathanH3083, and he saidH559[H8799] unto him, Thou sonH1121 of the perverseH5753[H8737] rebelliousH4780 woman, do not I knowH3045[H8804] that thou hast chosenH977[H8802] the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 to thine own confusionH1322, and unto the confusionH1322 of thy mother'sH517 nakednessH6172? |
| [31]For as long as the sonne of Isai liueth vpon the earth, thou shalt not be stablished, nor yet thy kingdome: Wherfore nowe send and fet him vnto me, for he is the childe of death |
[31]For as long asH3117 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 livethH2425[H8804] upon the groundH127, thou shalt not be establishedH3559[H8735], nor thy kingdomH4438. Wherefore now sendH7971[H8798] and fetchH3947[H8798] him unto me, for he shall surely dieH1121.[H4194] |
| [32]And Ionathan aunswered vnto Saul his father, and sayde to him: Wherfore should he dye? what hath he done |
[32]And JonathanH3083 answeredH6030[H8799] SaulH7586 his fatherH1, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, Wherefore shall he be slainH4191[H8714]? what hath he doneH6213?[H8804] |
| [33]And Saul lift vp a speare to hit him, wherby Ionathan wist well that it was vtterly determined of his father to slay Dauid |
[33]And SaulH7586 castH2904[H8686] a javelinH2595 at him to smiteH5221[H8687] him: whereby JonathanH3083 knewH3045[H8799] that it was determinedH3617 of his fatherH1 to slayH4191[H8687] DavidH1732. |
| [34]And so Ionathan arose from the table in a great anger, and did eate no meate the seconde day of the moneth: for he was sory for Dauid, because his father had done him shame |
[34]So JonathanH3083 aroseH6965[H8799] from the tableH7979 in fierceH2750 angerH639, and did eatH398[H8804] no meatH3899 the secondH8145 dayH3117 of the monthH2320: for he was grievedH6087[H8738] for DavidH1732, because his fatherH1 had done him shameH3637.[H8689] |
| [35]On the next morning, Ionathan went out into the fielde, at ye time appoynted with Dauid, and a litle lad with him |
[35]And it came to pass in the morningH1242, that JonathanH3083 went outH3318[H8799] into the fieldH7704 at the time appointedH4150 with DavidH1732, and a littleH6996 lad with himH5288. |
| [36]And he sayde vnto his boy: Runne, and seke out myne arrowes whiche I shote. And as the boy ran, he shot an arrowe beyond him |
[36]And he saidH559[H8799] unto his ladH5288, RunH7323[H8798], find outH4672[H8798] now the arrowsH2671 which I shootH3384[H8688]. And as the ladH5288 ranH7323[H8801], he shotH3384[H8804] an arrowH2678 beyondH5674 himH8687. |
| [37]And when the lad was come to the place whyther Ionathan had shot the arrowe, Ionathan cryed after the lad, & sayd: Is not the arrowe beyond there |
[37]And when the ladH5288 was comeH935[H8799] to the placeH4725 of the arrowH2678 which JonathanH3083 had shotH3384[H8804], JonathanH3083 criedH7121[H8799] afterH310 the ladH5288, and saidH559[H8799], Is not the arrowH2678 beyond theeH1973? |
| [38]And Ionathan cried after the lad againe: Make speede, haste, & stand not still. And Ionathans lad gathered vp the arrowes, and came to his maister |
[38]And JonathanH3083 criedH7121[H8799] afterH310 the ladH5288, Make speedH4120, hasteH2363[H8798], stayH5975[H8799] not. And Jonathan'sH3083 ladH5288 gathered upH3950[H8762] the arrowsH2671[H8675][H2678], and cameH935[H8799] to his masterH113. |
| [39]But the lad wist nothing of the matter, only Ionathan an Dauid wist it |
[39]But the ladH5288 knewH3045[H8804] not any thingH3972: only JonathanH3083 and DavidH1732 knewH3045[H8804] the matterH1697. |
| [40]And Ionathan gaue his instrumetes vnto the lad that was with him, and sayd vnto him: Go, and carry them to the towne |
[40]And JonathanH3083 gaveH5414[H8799] his artilleryH3627 unto his ladH5288, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, GoH3212[H8798], carryH935[H8685] them to the cityH5892. |
| [41]And assoone as the lad was gone, Dauid arose out of a place that was towarde the south, & fel on his face to the ground, & bowed him selfe three times, And they kissed either other, and wept together, so long till Dauid exceeded |
[41]And as soon as the ladH5288 was goneH935[H8802], DavidH1732 aroseH6965[H8804] out of a place towardH681 the southH5045, and fellH5307[H8799] on his faceH639 to the groundH776, and bowedH7812[H8691] himself threeH7969 timesH6471: and they kissedH5401[H8799] oneH376 anotherH7453, and weptH1058[H8799] oneH376 with anotherH7453, until DavidH1732 exceededH1431.[H8689] |
| [42]And Ionathan sayd to Dauid, Go in peace: And the thinges which we haue sworne both of vs in ye name of the lord, saying, the Lord be betweene thee & me, and betweene thy sede & myne: let them stand for euer. And he arose, & departed: And Ionathan went into the towne |
[42]And JonathanH3083 saidH559[H8799] to DavidH1732, GoH3212[H8798] in peaceH7965, forasmuch as we have swornH7650[H8738] bothH8147 of us in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559[H8800], The LORDH3068 be between me and thee, and between my seedH2233 and thy seedH2233 forH5704 everH5769. And he aroseH6965[H8799] and departedH3212[H8799]: and JonathanH3083 wentH935[H8802] into the cityH5892. |
