1 Samuel chapter 19 Saul tries to kill David

And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants that they should kill David,

but Jonathan's son delighted much in David, and Jonathan told David, Saul my father seeks

to kill you, therefore be on your guard in the morning.

Stay in a secret place and hide yourself. And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field

where you are and I will speak to my father about you. And if I learn anything, I will tell you.

And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, Let not the king sin against his servant David.

Because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have brought good to you,

For he took his life in his hand and he struck down the Philistine, and the Lord worked a great salvation for all Israel.

You saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent

blood by killing David without cause? And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan. Saul

swore, as the Lord lives, he shall not be put to death. And Jonathan called David, and

Jonathan reported to him all these things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was

in his presence as before.

And there was war again, and David went out and fought with the Philistines and struck them

with a great blow so that they fled before him.

Then a harmful spirit from the Lord came upon Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in

his hand, and David was playing the liar. And Saul sought

to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he alluded Saul so that he struck the spear into the

wall, and David fled and escaped that night. Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him

that he might kill him in the morning, but Mikhail, David's wife, told him, if you do not escape with your life tonight, tomorrow, you will be killed.

So Mikhail let David down through the window, and he fled away and escaped.
