5For he put his life in danger and overcame the Philistine, and the Lord gave all Israel salvation: you saw it and were glad: why then are you sinning against him who has done no wrong, desiring the death of David without cause?
6And Saul gave ear to the voice of Jonathan, and said with an oath, By the living Lord, he is not to be put to death.
7Then Jonathan sent for David and gave him word of all these things. And Jonathan took David to Saul, who kept him by his side as in the past.
8And there was war again: and David went out fighting the Philistines, causing great destruction among them; and they went in flight before him.
9And an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul, when he was seated in his house with his spear in his hand; and David made music for him.
10And Saul would have sent his spear through him, pinning him to the wall, but he got away and the spear went into the wall: and that night David went in flight and got away.
11Then in that night Saul sent men to David's house to keep watch on him so as to put him to death in the morning: and David's wife Michal said to him, If you do not go away to a safe place tonight you will be put to death in the morning.
