1Καὶ ἐλάλησεν Σαουλ πρὸς Ιωναθαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ πρὸς πάντας τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ θανατῶσαι τὸν Δαυιδ. καὶ Ιωναθαν υἱὸς Σαουλ ᾑρεῖτο τὸν Δαυιδ σφόδρα, And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants to slay David.Saul persecutes David. 1Sm.19.1-24
2καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν Ιωναθαν τῷ Δαυιδ λέγων Σαουλ ζητεῖ θανατῶσαί σε· φύλαξαι οὖν αὔριον πρωῒ καὶ κρύβηθι καὶ κάθισον κρυβῇ, And Jonathan Saul's son loved David much: and Jonathan told David saying Saul seeks to kill thee: take heed to thyself therefore to-morrow morning 
3καὶ ἐγὼ ἐξελεύσομαι καὶ στήσομαι ἐχόμενος τοῦ πατρός μου ἐν ἀγρῷ, οὗ ἐὰν ᾖς ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐγὼ λαλήσω περὶ σοῦ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου καὶ ὄψομαι ὅ τι ἐὰν ᾖ, καὶ ἀπαγγελῶ σοι. And I will go forth and stand near my father in the field where thou shalt be and I will speak concerning thee to my father; and I will see what his answer may be and I will tell thee. 
4καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ιωναθαν περὶ Δαυιδ ἀγαθὰ πρὸς Σαουλ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν Μὴ ἁμαρτησάτω ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς τὸν δοῦλόν σου Δαυιδ, ὅτι οὐχ ἡμάρτηκεν εἰς σέ, καὶ τὰ ποιήματα αὐτοῦ ἀγαθὰ σφόδρα, And Jonathan spoke favorably concerning David to Saul his father and said to him Let not the king sin against thy servant David for he has not sinned against thee and his deeds [are] very good. 
5καὶ ἔθετο τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὸν ἀλλόφυλον, καὶ ἐποίησεν κύριος σωτηρίαν μεγάλην, καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ εἶδον καὶ ἐχάρησαν· καὶ ἵνα τί ἁμαρτάνεις εἰς αἷμα ἀθῷον θανατῶσαι τὸν Δαυιδ δωρεάν; And he put his life in his hand and smote the Philistine and the Lord wrought a great deliverance; and all Israel saw and rejoined: why then dost thou sin against innocent blood to slay David without a cause? 
6καὶ ἤκουσεν Σαουλ τῆς φωνῆς Ιωναθαν, καὶ ὤμοσεν Σαουλ λέγων Ζῇ κύριος, εἰ ἀποθανεῖται. And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore saying [As] the Lord lives he shall not die. 
7καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ιωναθαν τὸν Δαυιδ καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν Ιωναθαν τὸν Δαυιδ πρὸς Σαουλ, καὶ ἦν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν. - And Jonathan called David and told him all these words; and Jonathan brought David in to Saul and he was before him as in former times. 
8καὶ προσέθετο ὁ πόλεμος γενέσθαι πρὸς Σαουλ, καὶ κατίσχυσεν Δαυιδ καὶ ἐπολέμησεν τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτοῖς πληγὴν μεγάλην σφόδρα, καὶ ἔφυγον ἐκ προσώπου αὐτοῦ. And there was again war against Saul; and David did valiantly and fought against the Philistines and smote them with a very great slaughter and they fled from before him.Saul Tries to Kill David. 
9Καὶ ἐγένετο πνεῦμα θεοῦ πονηρὸν ἐπὶ Σαουλ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν οἴκῳ καθεύδων, καὶ δόρυ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ Δαυιδ ἔψαλλεν ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ· And an evil spirit from God was upon Saul and he was resting in his house and a spear [was] in his hand and David was playing on the harp with his hands. 
10καὶ ἐζήτει Σαουλ πατάξαι τὸ δόρυ εἰς Δαυιδ, καὶ ἀπέστη Δαυιδ ἐκ προσώπου Σαουλ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὸ δόρυ εἰς τὸν τοῖχον, καὶ Δαυιδ ἀνεχώρησεν καὶ διεσώθη. And Saul sought to smite David with the spear; and David withdrew [suddenly] from the presence of Saul; and he drove the spear into the wall; and David retreated and escaped. 
11καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Σαουλ ἀγγέλους εἰς οἶκον Δαυιδ φυλάξαι αὐτὸν τοῦ θανατῶσαι αὐτὸν πρωί. καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ Δαυιδ Μελχολ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ λέγουσα Ἑὰν μὴ σὺ σώσῃς τὴν ψυχὴν σαυτοῦ τὴν νύκτα ταύτην, αὔριον θανατωθήσῃ. And it came to pass in that night that Saul sent messengers to the house of David to watch him in order to slay him in the morning; and Melchol David's wife told him saying Unless thou save thy life this night 
12καὶ κατάγει ἡ Μελχολ τὸν Δαυιδ διὰ τῆς θυρίδος, καὶ ἀπῆλθεν καὶ ἔφυγεν καὶ σῴζεται. So Melchol lets David down by the window and he departed and fled and escaped. 
13καὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ Μελχολ τὰ κενοτάφια καὶ ἔθετο ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην καὶ ἧπαρ τῶν αἰγῶν ἔθετο πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκάλυψεν αὐτὰ ἱματίῳ. And Melchol took images and laid them on the bed and she put the liver of a goat by his head and covered them with clothes. 
14καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Σαουλ ἀγγέλους λαβεῖν τὸν Δαυιδ, καὶ λέγουσιν ἐνοχλεῖσθαι αὐτόν. And Saul sent messengers to take David; and they say that he is sick. 
15καὶ ἀποστέλλει ἐπὶ τὸν Δαυιδ λέγων Ἀγάγετε αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης πρός με τοῦ θανατῶσαι αὐτόν. And he sends to David saying Bring him to me on the bed that I may slay him. 
16καὶ ἔρχονται οἱ ἄγγελοι, καὶ ἰδοὺ τὰ κενοτάφια ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης, καὶ ἧπαρ τῶν αἰγῶν πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ. And the messengers come and behold the images [were] on the bed and the goat's liver at his head. 
17καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ τῇ Μελχολ Ἵνα τί οὕτως παρελογίσω με καὶ ἐξαπέστειλας τὸν ἐχθρόν μου καὶ διεσώθη; καὶ εἶπεν Μελχολ τῷ Σαουλ Αὐτὸς εἶπεν Ἑξαπόστειλόν με· εἰ δὲ μή, θανατώσω σε. And Saul said to Melchol Why hast thou thus deceived me and suffered my enemy to depart and he has escaped? and Melchol said to Saul He said 
18Καὶ Δαυιδ ἔφυγεν καὶ διεσώθη καὶ παραγίνεται πρὸς Σαμουηλ εἰς Αρμαθαιμ καὶ ἀπαγγέλλει αὐτῷ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ Σαουλ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυιδ καὶ Σαμουηλ καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν Ναυαθ ἐν Ραμα. So David fled and escaped and comes to Samuel to Armathaim and tells him all that Saul had done to him: and Samuel and David went and dwelt in Navath in Rama. 
19καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαουλ λέγοντες Ἰδοὺ Δαυιδ ἐν Ναυαθ ἐν Ραμα. And it was told Saul saying Behold David [is] in Navath in Rama. 
20καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Σαουλ ἀγγέλους λαβεῖν τὸν Δαυιδ, καὶ εἶδαν τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τῶν προφητῶν, καὶ Σαμουηλ εἱστήκει καθεστηκὼς ἐπ' αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀγγέλους τοῦ Σαουλ πνεῦμα θεοῦ, καὶ προφητεύουσιν. And Saul sent messengers to take David and they saw the assembly of the prophets and Samuel stood [as] appointed over them; and the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul and they prophesy. 
21καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαουλ, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους ἑτέρους, καὶ ἐπροφήτευσαν καὶ αὐτοί. καὶ προσέθετο Σαουλ ἀποστεῖλαι ἀγγέλους τρίτους, καὶ ἐπροφήτευσαν καὶ αὐτοί. And it was told Saul and he sent other messengers and they also prophesied: and Saul sent again a third set of messengers and they also prophesied. 
22καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ Σαουλ καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ αὐτὸς εἰς Αρμαθαιμ καὶ ἔρχεται ἕως τοῦ φρέατος τοῦ ἅλω τοῦ ἐν τῷ Σεφι καὶ ἠρώτησεν καὶ εἶπεν Ποῦ Σαμουηλ καὶ Δαυιδ; καὶ εἶπαν Ἰδοὺ ἐν Ναυαθ ἐν Ραμα. And Saul was very angry and went himself also to Armathaim and he comes as far as the well of the threshing floor that is in Sephi; and he asked and said Where [are] Samuel and David? And they said Behold 
23καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Ναυαθ ἐν Ραμα, καὶ ἐγενήθη καὶ ἐπ' αὐτῷ πνεῦμα θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπορεύετο προφητεύων ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς Ναυαθ ἐν Ραμα. And he went thence to Navath in Rama: and there came the Spirit of God upon him also and he went on prophesying till he came to Navath in Rama. 
24καὶ ἐξεδύσατο τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπροφήτευσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν καὶ ἔπεσεν γυμνὸς ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐκείνην καὶ ὅλην τὴν νύκτα· διὰ τοῦτο ἔλεγον Εἰ καὶ Σαουλ ἐν προφήταις; And he took off his clothes and prophesied before them; and lay down naked all that day and all that night: therefore they said [Is] Saul also among the prophets?

Notes:The Old Testament in Greek is Rahlf's LXX available in Word format at the Tyndale website, adapted to database format.
The alternative readings of the LXX - Judges (Alexandrinus), Daniel, Susanna & Bel (LXX received text), and Tobit (Sinaiticus [not printed in Swete]) as separate book references so that they can be viewed as an alternative text in parallel with the primary text.
(I have reversed the Swete presentation for Daniel, Susanna, Bel by listing in the later Theodotion LXX text as the main text.)
The LXX cross references to the Hebrew Bible have been extensively revised using those set out in Swete's 'Old Testament in Greek' publications between 1894 and 1909, amended in part to agree with verses as printed in the Biblia Hebraica 1937 publication).
Some verse cross references in Swete's had to be amended to agree with the BHS verse numbering, and there may well be some mismatches that I haven't yet picked up on. (If you find any errors please e-mail me.)
Hebrew Bible has been adapted from the BHS in Word format at Tyndale.
The Septuagint in English ( translated by Sir Lancelot CL Brenton) - is used here only for the books of the Hebrew Bible.
The Revised Standard Version: This generally follows the Hebrew Bible for the canonical OT so I have included the RSV Aprocrypha for the Greek books not covered by Brenton.
Ecclesiasticus - Sirach Chs.30-36: The text of these chapters from 30.24 to 36.16, is disordered.
I have followed Swete's verse numbering for the greek text.
Also, the RSV verse numbering differs from the NRSV.
The NRSV appears to have followed Swete's numbering here, so I have re-ordered the RSV to agree with both the NRSV & Swete for these chapters.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages.
Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976.
