09:019:018 So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and
           told him all that Saul had done to him.  And he and Samuel went
           and dwelt in Naioth.

09:019:019 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in
           Ramah.

09:019:020 And Saul sent messengers to take David:  and when they saw the
           company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as
           appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers
           of Saul, and they also prophesied.

09:019:021 And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they
           prophesied likewise.  And Saul sent messengers again the third
           time, and they prophesied also.

09:019:022 Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is
           in Sechu:  and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? 
           And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.

09:019:023 And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah:  and the Spirit of God
           was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he
           came to Naioth in Ramah.

09:019:024 And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before
           Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all
           that night.  Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the
           prophets?

09:020:001 And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before
           Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is
           my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?

09:020:002 And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die:  behold,
           my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he
           will shew it me:  and why should my father hide this thing from
           me? it is not so.

09:020:003 And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly
           knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith,
           Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved:  but truly as
           the lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step
           between me and death.

09:020:004 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I
           will even do it for thee.

09:020:005 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new
           moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat:  but
           let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third
           day at even.

09:020:006 If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked
           leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city:  for there
           is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.

09:020:007 If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace:  but
           if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by
           him.
