Saul spake to Jonathan his son and to all his servants that they should kill David The murderous Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. The murderous design he had secretly cherished he now reveals to a few of his intimate friends. Jonathan was among the number. He prudently said nothing at the time, but secretly apprised David of his danger, and waiting until the morning, when his father's excited temper would be cooled, stationed his friend in a place of concealment, where, overhearing the conversation, he might learn how matters really stood, and take immediate flight, if necessary.
