Shmuel | Samuel

Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants about killing David, but Jonathan son of Saul liked David very much.
19:1
So Jonathan spoke favorably of David to his father Saul, saying to him, “Let the king not sin against his servant David, for he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds are very good for you.
:4
He put his life in his hand and slew the Philistine and Hashem granted a great salvation to all of Israel; you saw [it] and rejoiced — so why should you sin with innocent blood, to kill David for no reason?”
:5
Saul listened to Jonathan’s voice, and Saul swore, “As Hashem lives, he shall not die.”
:6
Saul sent messengers to David’s house to keep watch over him and kill him in the morning. His wife Michal told David, saying, “If you do not [act to] escape with your life tonight, you will be killed tomorrow.”
:11
David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel at Ramah. He told him all that Saul had done to him, so he and Samuel went and stayed at Naioth.
:18
Saul sent messengers to arrest David. [When they arrived] they saw a group of prophets prophesying with Samuel standing erect, overseeing them, and a spirit of God came upon Saul’s messengers and they, too, prophesied.
:20
He went there, to Naioth in Ramah, and the spirit of God came upon him, as well; and he kept on prophesying until he arrived at Naioth in Ramah. … Therefore there people say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
:23-24
