Saul Tries to Kill David

¹⁸ Now David fled and escaped, and he came to Samuel at _g Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and lived at Naioth. ¹⁹ And it was told Saul, "Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah." ²⁰ Then Saul sent messengers to take David, and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, _h the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, _i and they also prophesied. ²¹ When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, _i and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, _i and they also prophesied. ²² Then he himself went to Ramah and came to the great well that is in Secu. And he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Behold, they are at Naioth in _g Ramah." ²³ And he went there to Naioth in Ramah. _j And the Spirit of God came upon him also, and as he went he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah. ²⁴ _k And he too stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel and lay naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, _l "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
