1 Saúl dijo a su hijo Jonatán y a todos sus esclavos que mataran a David, pero Jonatán, hijo de Saúl, amaba mucho a David.
1 Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, greatly delighted in David.
2 Jonatán habló a David: Mi padre Saúl procura matarte. Te ruego que tengas cuidado por la mañana. Quédate en un lugar secreto y escóndete.
2 Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, live in a secret place, and hide yourself.
3 Yo saldré del campo donde tú estés. Me pondré junto a mi padre y le hablaré de ti. Veré qué responde y te lo informaré.
3 I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you.”
4 Jonatán habló bien de David a su padre Saúl: No peque el rey contra su esclavo David, pues él no pecó contra ti. Sus obras son muy buenas para ti,
4 Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;
5 porque él puso su vida en la palma de su mano y mató al filisteo. Y Yavé otorgó una gran victoria a todo Israel. Tú lo viste y te alegraste de ello. ¿Por qué entonces quieres pecar contra sangre inocente al matar a David sin causa?
5 for he put his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and Yahweh worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”
6 Saúl escuchó la voz de Jonatán y juró: ¡Vive Yavé que no morirá!
6 Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he shall not be put to death.”
7 Jonatán llamó a David y le contó todas esas cosas. Él mismo llevó a David ante Saúl, y estuvo delante de él como en tiempos pasados.
7 Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
8 Después hubo guerras otra vez, y David salió y combatió contra los filisteos. Los derrotó con gran matanza, y huyeron de él.
8 There was war again. David went out and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
9 Pero el espíritu malo de parte de Yavé llegó otra vez a Saúl cuando él estaba sentado en su casa con su lanza en la mano, mientras David tañía.
9 An evil spirit from Yahweh was on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing music with his hand.
10 Saúl procuró clavar a David en la pared con la lanza, pero él se apartó de delante de Saúl, y la lanza se clavó en la pared. David huyó aquella noche.
10 Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence; and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled and escaped that night.
11 Pero Saúl envió emisarios a la casa de David para que lo vigilaran y lo mataran por la mañana. Mical, la esposa de David, le advirtió y le dijo: Si no salvas tu vida esta noche, mañana estarás muerto.
11 Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you don’t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
12 Mical descolgó a David por una ventana, y él salió, huyó y escapó.
12 So Michal let David down through the window. He went away, fled, and escaped.
13 Mical tomó un ídolo doméstico y lo puso en la cama. Colocó una sábana de pelo de cabra en la cabecera y lo cubrió con ropas.
13 Michal took the teraphim and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head and covered it with clothes.
14 Cuando Saúl envió emisarios para agarrar a David, ella dijo: Está enfermo.
14 When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”
15 Saúl volvió a enviar emisarios para que vieran a David y les dijo: ¡Tráiganmelo en la misma cama para que lo mate!
15 Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”
16 Pero cuando entraron los emisarios, ¡ahí en la cama estaba el ídolo doméstico con la sábana de pelo de cabra en la cabecera!
16 When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head.
17 Y Saúl preguntó a Mical: ¿Por qué me engañaste y dejaste ir a mi enemigo para que se escapara? Mical respondió a Saúl: Porque él me dijo: Déjame escapar. ¿Por qué debo matarte?
17 Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’”
18 Así pues, David escapó y fue a Samuel en Ramá. Le informó todo cuanto Saúl le hizo. Luego él salió con Samuel y vivieron en Nayot.
18 Now David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth.
19 Fue dado aviso a Saúl: Ciertamente David está en Nayot de Ramá.
19 Saul was told, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
20 Entonces Saúl envió emisarios para que detuvieran a David, los cuales vieron a un grupo de profetas que profetizaban, y a Samuel que estaba entre ellos y los presidía. El Espíritu de ʼElohim llegó sobre los emisarios de Saúl, y ellos también profetizaron.
20 Saul sent messengers to seize David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, God’s Spirit came on Saul’s messengers, and they also prophesied.
21 Informaron a Saúl, quien envió otros emisarios. También ellos profetizaron. Saúl volvió a enviar emisarios por tercera vez, y también éstos profetizaron.
21 When Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
22 Así que él mismo fue a Nayot de Ramá. Al llegar a la gran cisterna que está en Secú, preguntó: ¿Dónde están Samuel y David? Uno contestó: Ciertamente están en Nayot de Ramá.
22 Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” One said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”
23 Fue a Nayot de Ramá. El Espíritu de ʼElohim llegó sobre él, y andaba y profetizaba hasta que llegó a Nayot de Ramá.
23 He went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then God’s Spirit came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 Él también se despojó de sus ropas y profetizó de la misma manera en presencia de Samuel. Todo aquel día y aquella noche quedó desnudo en tierra. Por esto se suele decir: ¿También Saúl entre los profetas?
24 He also stripped off his clothes. He also prophesied before Samuel and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
There is indeed a story in the Scripture of the Reigns, of the occasion when Saul sent to guard the house in order that he might kill David....But in like manner as Saul effected not his purpose of slaying David: so this could not the government of the Jews effect, that the testimony of guards sleeping should avail more …
