1 I Saul govori Jonatanu sinu svom i svim slugama svojim da ubiju Davida; ali Jonatan sin Saulov ljubljaše veoma Davida. 2 I javi Jonatan Davidu i reče mu: Saul, otac moj, traži da te ubije; nego se čuvaj sutra, skloni se gdegod i prikrij se. 3 A ja ću izaći i stajaću pored oca svog u polju gde ti budeš, i govoriću o tebi s ocem svojim, i šta doznam javiću ti. 4 I Jonatan progovori za Davida Saulu ocu svom, i reče mu: Da se ne ogreši car o slugu svog Davida, jer se on nije ogrešio o tebe, nego je još vrlo dobro za te šta je činio. 5 Jer nije mario za život svoj i pobio je Filisteje, i Gospod učini spasenje veliko svemu Izrailju; video si i radovao si se; pa zašto bi se ogrešio o krv pravu i ubio Davida nizašta? 6 I posluša Saul Jonatana, i zakle se Saul: Tako živ bio Gospod, neće poginuti. 7 Tada Jonatan dozva Davida, i kaza mu Jonatan sve ovo; i dovede Jonatan Davida k Saulu, i opet bi pred njim kao pre. 8 I nasta opet rat, i David izađe i pobi se s Filistejima, i razbi ih veoma, te bežaše od njega. 9 Potom zli duh Gospodnji napade Saula kad seđaše kod kuće i držaše koplje u ruci, a David udaraše rukom o gusle. 10 I Saul htede Davida kopljem prikovati za zid, ali se on izmače Saulu, te koplje udari u zid, a David pobeže i izbavi se onu noć. 11 A Saul posla ljude ka kući Davidovoj da ga čuvaju i ujutru ubiju. A to javi Davidu žena njegova Mihala govoreći: Ako noćas ne izbaviš dušu svoju, ujutru ćeš poginuti. 12 Tada Mihala spusti Davida kroz prozor, te otide i pobeže i izbavi se. 13 A Mihala uze lik, i metnu ga u postelju, i metnu mu pod glavu uzglavlje od kostreti, i pokri ga haljinom. 14 I kad Saul posla ljude da uhvate Davida, ona reče: Bolestan je. 15 A Saul posla opet ljude da vide Davida govoreći: Donesite mi ga u postelji da ga pogubim. 16 A kad dođoše poslani, gle, lik u postelji i uzglavlje od kostreti pod glavom mu. 17 I reče Saul Mihali: Što me tako prevari i pusti neprijatelja mog da uteče? A Mihala reče Saulu: On mi reče: Pusti me, ili ću te ubiti. 18 Tako David pobeže i izbavi se, i dođe k Samuilu u Ramu, i pripovedi mu sve što mu je učinio Saul. I otidoše on i Samuilo, i ostaše u Najotu. 19 A Saulu dođe glas i rekoše mu: Eno Davida u Najotu u Rami. 20 Tada posla Saul ljude da uhvate Davida; i oni videše zbor proroka gde prorokuju, a Samuilo im starešina. I duh Gospodnji dođe na poslanike Saulove, te i oni prorokovahu. 21 A kad to javiše Saulu, on posla druge poslanike, ali i oni prorokovahu; te Saul opet posla treće poslanike, ali i oni prorokovahu. 22 Tada sam pođe u Ramu, i kad dođe na veliki studenac koji je u Sokotu, zapita govoreći: Gde je Samuilo i David? I rekoše mu: Eno ih u Najotu u Rami. 23 I pođe u Najot u Rami; ali i na njega siđe duh Božji, te idući dalje prorokova dokle dođe u Najot u Rami. 24 Pa skide i on haljine svoje sa sebe, i prorokova i on pred Samuilom, i padnuvši ležaše go ceo onaj dan i svu noć. Stoga se govori: Eda li je i Saul među prorocima?

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 …
