city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the
mishpacha.
7 If he says this, It is well; your eved shall have shalom:
but if he be very angry, then be sure that evil is
determined by him.
8 Therefore you shall deal kindly with your eved; for you
have brought your eved into a brit of vuvh with you:
nevertheless, if there be in me iniquity, kill me yourself;
for why should you bring me to your abba?
9 And Yonathan said, Far be it from you: for if I knew
certainly that evil were determined by my abba to come
upon you, then would I not tell it to you?
10 Then said Dawid to Yonathan, Who shall tell me? Or,
what if your abba answers you sharply?
11 And Yonathan said to Dawid, Come, and let us go out
into the field. And they went out both of them into the
field.
12 And Yonathan said to Dawid, O vuvh Elohim of
Yisrael be my witness, when I have sought for my abba
sometime tomorrow, or the third day, and, see, if there be
tov towards Dawid, and I then send not to you, and show
it to you;
13 Then vuvh do so and much more to Yonathan: but if it
pleases my abba to do you evil, then I will show it to you,
and send you away, that you may go in shalom: and vuvh
be with you, as He has been with my abba.
14 And you shall, while yet I live, show me the chesed of
vuvh; that I die not:
15 And also you shall not cut off your chesed to my bayit
le-olam-va-ed: when vuvh has cut off all the enemies of
Dawid from the face of the earth.
16 So Yonathan made a brit, so his bayit would flourish
with Beit Dawid, saying, Let vuvh take vengeance against
Dawid's enemies.
17 And Yonathan caused Dawid to swear again, because
he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own
chayim.
18 Then Yonathan said to Dawid, Tomorrow is Rosh
Chodesh: and you shall be missed, because your seat will
be empty.
19 And when you have stayed three days, then you shall
go down quickly, and come to the place where you hid
yourself, and shall remain by the stone Ezel.
20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side of the stone,
as though I shot at a mark.
21 And, see, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find the arrows.
If I expressly say to the lad, See, the arrows are on this
side of you, take them; then come out: for there is shalom
to you, and no hurt; as vuvh lives.
22 But if I say this to the young man, See, the arrows are
beyond you; then go your way: for vuvh has sent you
away.
23 And as touching the matter which you and I have
spoken of, see, vuvh is witness between you and me
le-olam-va-ed.
24 So Dawid hid himself in the field: and when the Rosh
Chodesh had come, the melech sat down to eat.
25 And the melech sat upon his seat, as at other times,
even upon a seat by the wall: and Yonathan arose, and
Avner sat by Shaul's side, and Dawid's place was empty.
26 Nevertheless Shaul spoke not anything that day: for he
thought, Something has happened to him, he is not clean;
surely he is not clean.
SCHMUEL ALEF - FIRST SAMUEL
- 201 -
27 And it came to pass on the next day, which was the
second day of the month, that Dawid's place was empty:
and Shaul said to Yonathan his son, Why did not the son
of Yishai come to eat, neither yesterday, nor today?
28 And Yonathan answered Shaul, Dawid earnestly asked
my permission to go to Beth-Lechem:
29 And he said, Let me go, I ask you; for our mishpacha
has a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he has
commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found
favor in your eyes, let me go, I ask you, and see my
brothers. Therefore he came not to the melech's shulchan.
30 Then Shaul's anger was lit against Yonathan, and he
said to him, You son of the perverse rebellious woman,
do not I know that you have chosen the son of Yishai to
your own shame, and to the shame of your eema's
nakedness?
31 For as long as the son of Yishai lives upon the earth,
you shall not be established, in your malchut. And now
send and get him for me, for he shall surely die.
32 And Yonathan answered Shaul his abba, and said to
him, Why shall he be killed? What has he done?
33 And Shaul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby
Yonathan knew that it was determined by his abba to kill
Dawid.
34 So Yonathan arose from the shulchan in fierce anger,
and did eat no food the second day of the month: for he
was grieved for Dawid, because his abba had done him
shame.
35 And it came to pass in the morning, that Yonathan
went out into the field at the time appointed with Dawid,
and a little lad with him.
36 And he said to his lad, Run and find out where the
arrows that I shoot will land. And as the lad ran, he shot
an arrow beyond him.
37 And when the lad had come to the place of the arrow
which Yonathan had shot, Yonathan shouted out to the
lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond you?
38 And Yonathan shouted after the lad, Hurry, hurry, stay
not. And Yonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and
came to his master.
39 But the lad knew not any thing: only Yonathan and
Dawid knew the matter.
40 And Yonathan gave his artillery to his lad, and said to
him, Go, carry them to the city.
41 And as soon as the lad had gone, Dawid arose out of a
place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground,
and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one
another, and wept one with another, but Dawid wept
more.
42 And Yonathan said to Dawid, Go in shalom, since we
have sworn both of us in the Name of vuvh, saying, vuvh
is witness between me and you, and between my zera and
your zera le-olam-va-ed. And he arose and departed: and
Yonathan went into the city.
21
Then came Dawid to Nov to Achimelech the kohen:
and Achimelech was afraid at the meeting with Dawid,
and said to him, Why are you alone, and no man with
you?
2 And Dawid said to Achimelech the kohen, The melech
has commanded me a word, and has said to me, Let no
man know any thing of the business about which I send
you, and what I have commanded you: and I have
