And they brought Ishbosheth’s head to David in Hebron, and said to the king, Behold, the head of Ishbosheth the son of your enemy Saul, who sought your life. And may Jehovah give to my lord the king vengeance this day, on Saul and on his seed.
And Saul said, So you shall say to David, There is no delight to the king in dowry, but in a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged on the king’s enemies. And Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.
And it very much burned Saul, and this thing was evil in his eyes. And he said, They have given myriads to David, and to me they have given thousands. And is there more to him, except the kingdom?
And Saul’s son Jonathan delighted exceedingly in David. And Jonathan declared it to David, saying, My father Saul is seeking to kill you. And now, please be on guard in the morning, and you shall stay in the secret place, and shall hide.
And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? What is my iniquity, and what is my sin before your father, that he is seeking my soul?
And on the third day you shall quickly come down, and shall come there to the place where you were hidden in the day of the deed. And you shall remain near the stone Ezel.
