DAVID AND YAH NATHAN CUT A COVENANT
And David flees from Navith in Ramah and comes at the face of Yah Nathan and says, What work I? What is my perversion? What is my sin at the face of your father that he seeks my soul? ² And he says to him, Far be it! You die not! Behold, my father works naught - great word or small word, that he exposes not in my ear: And why hides my father this word from me? Is this not so? ³ And David oaths again and says, In knowing, your father knows I find charism in your eyes; and he says, O that Yah Nathan not know this, lest he contort. - and truly as Yah Veh lives and as your soul lives there is but a stride between me and death. ⁴ And Yah Nathan says to David, Whatever your soul says, I work for you. ⁵ And David says to Yah Nathan, Behold, tomorrow is the new moon; and in sitting, I sit with the sovereign to eat: send me away to hide in the field until the third evening. ⁶ If in visiting, your father visits after me, say this, In asking, David asked of me to run to Beth Lechem his city: for there is a sacrifice of days there for all the family. ⁷ If he say thus, Good! shalom to your servant: and if in inflaming, he inflames, then know that he finishes off evil. ⁸ And work mercy with your servant; for you brought your servant into a covenant of Yah Veh with you: and, if there be perversity in me, deathify me yourself. And why this - to bring me to your father? ⁹ And Yah Nathan says, Far be it from you: for in knowing, had I known that my father finishes off evil to come on you, had I not told you? ¹⁰ Then says David to Yah Nathan, Who tells me? Or what if your father answers you hardly? ¹¹ And Yah Nathan says to David, Come and let us go into the field. - and they both go into the field. ¹² And Yah Nathan says to David, O Elohim of Yisra El, when I probe my father about this time tomorrow - or the third; and behold, if there be good toward David and I send not to you to expose it in your ear; ¹³ may Yah Veh work and add thus to Yah Nathan: but if it well-pleases my father to vilify you, then I expose it in your ear and send you away to go in shalom: and Yah Veh be with you as he is with my father: ¹⁴ and not only, while I still live work me the mercy of Yah Veh that I not die: ¹⁵ neither cut off your mercy from my house eternally: nor when Yah Veh cuts off the enemies of David - every man from the face of the soil. ¹⁶ And Yah Nathan cuts with the house of David, and Yah Veh seeks it at the hand of the enemies of David: ¹⁷ and Yah Nathan has David add an oath, because he loves him: for he loves him as he loves his own soul. ¹⁸ And Yah Nathan says to David, Tomorrow is the new moon: and they inspect you and inspect your seat: ¹⁹ and on the third, descend mightily and come to the place you hid yourself in the day of work; and settle beside the stone Ezel: ²⁰ and I shoot three arrows on the side thereof - send as at a target: ²¹ and behold, I send a lad, Go, find the arrows. If in saying, I say to the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, take them! - then come: for there is shalom to you and no word: Yah Veh lives: ²² and if I say to the lad thus: Behold, the arrows beyond you! - go your way, for Yah Veh sends you away. ²³ And the word you and I word, behold, Yah Veh is between you and me eternally. ²⁴ So David hides himself in the field: and the new moon comes, and the sovereign settles down to eat bread. ²⁵ And the sovereign settles on his seat - as time by time on a seat by the wall: and Yah Nathan rises and Abi Ner settles by the side of Shaul and they inspect the place of David. ²⁶ And Shaul words naught that day: for he says, A happening happened to him, he is not pure; surely not pure. ²⁷ And so be it, on the morrow, the second of the month, they inspect the place of David: and Shaul says to Yah Nathan his son, Why comes not the son of Yishay to bread either yesterday or today? ²⁸ And Yah Nathan answers Shaul, In asking, David asked of me to go to Beth Lechem: ²⁹ and he says, Send me away, I beseech you; for our family has a sacrifice in the city; and my brother misvahs me: and now, if I find charism in your eyes, let me escape, I beseech you, and see my brothers. - so he comes not to the table of the sovereign. ³⁰ Then Shaul kindles his wrath against Yah Nathan and he says to him, You son of the perverted rebellious, know I not that you chose the son of Yishay to your own shame and to the shame of the nakedness of your mother? ³¹ For all the days the son of Yishay lives on the soil, neither you establish nor your sovereigndom: and now, send and take him to me; for he is a son of death. ³² And Yah Nathan answers Shaul his father and says to him, Why deathify him? What works he? ³³ And Shaul casts a spear at him to smite him: whereby Yah Nathan knows that his father has fully finished to deathify David. ³⁴ And Yah Nathan rises from the table in fuming wrath and eats no bread the second day of the month: for he contorts for David, because his father shames him. ³⁵ And so be it, in the morning, Yah Nathan goes out into the field at the season with David and a little lad with him: ³⁶ and he says to his lad, Run, find the arrows I shoot. The lad runs, and he shoots an arrow to pass over him: ³⁷ and the lad comes to the place of the arrow Yah Nathan shot; and Yah Nathan calls out after the lad and says, Is not the arrow beyond you? ³⁸ And Yah Nathan calls out after the lad, Quickly! Hasten! Stay not! And the lad of Yah Nathan gathers up the arrows and comes to his adoni: ³⁹ and the lad knows naught: only, Yah Nathan and David know the word. ⁴⁰ And Yah Nathan gives his instrument to his lad; and says to him, Go, carry them to the city. ⁴¹ And as soon as the lad goes, David rises from beside the south and falls on his nostrils to the earth and prostrates himself three times: and they kiss man to friend and weep man to friend, until David greatens. ⁴² And Yah Nathan says to David, Go in shalom; inasmuch as we oathed, both of us, in the name of Yah Veh, saying, Yah Veh be between me and between you and between my seed and between your seed eternally. - and he rises and goes: and Yah Nathan goes into the city.

³ Behold, here am I: answer against me in front of Yah Veh and in front of his anointed: Whose ox took I? Whose he burro took I? Whom extorted I? Whom crushed I? Of whose hand took I a koper/an atonement to veil my eyes therewith? - and I restore it to you.

¹⁹ And someone tells Shaul, saying, Behold, David is at Navith in Ramah. ²⁰ And Shaul sends angels to take David: and they see the assembly of the prophets prophesying and Shemu El stands stationed over them, the Spirit of Elohim is on the angels of Shaul and they also prophesy. ²¹ And someone tells Shaul and he sends other angels and they also prophesy: and Shaul sends angels the third time and they also prophesy. ²² Then he goes to Ramah and comes to a great well in Sechu: and he asks and says, Where are Shemu El and David? And one says, Behold, at Navith in Ramah. ²³ And he goes to Navith in Ramah: and the Spirit of Elohim is on him - him also and in walking, he walks on and prophesies until he comes to Navith in Ramah: ²⁴ and he strips his clothes - he also and prophesies at the face of Shemu El and falls naked all that day and all that night. So they say, Is Shaul also among the prophets?

²⁶ and Shaul goes on this side of the mountain and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David hastens to go from the face of Shaul; for Shaul and his men surround David and his men to apprehend them. ²⁷ And an angel comes to Shaul, saying, Hasten and come! For the Peleshethiy strip the land. ²⁸ And Shaul returns from pursuing David and goes to meet the Peleshethiy: so they call that place Sela Ham Machleqoth/The Rock of Allotments.

⁹ and David says to Shaul, Why hear you human words, saying, Behold, David seeks your evil?

¹¹ and see, my father, - see the borders of your mantle in my hand: for I cut off the border of your mantle and slaughtered you not: know and see that there is neither evil nor rebellion in my hand; nor sin I against you; yet you lurk my soul to take it:

¹⁷ and says to David, You are more just than I: for you deal me good, whereas I deal you evil:

³ O Yah Veh my Elohim, If I worked this; if there is wickedness in my palms; ⁴ if I dealt evil to him who shalamed with me; or rescued my tribulator in vain: ⁵ may the enemy pursue and overtake my soul; yes, trample my life on the earth and tabernacle my honor in the dust. Selah.

²⁰ Yah Veh deals according to my justness; - returns according to the purity of my hands: ²¹ for I guard the ways of Yah Veh - not done wickedly against my Elohim. ²² For all his judgments are in front of me and I turn not aside his statutes from me: ²³ and I am integrious in front of him and I guard myself from my perversity: ²⁴ and Yah Veh returns to me according to my justness - according to the purity of my hands in his eyes.

⁶ Blessed - Yah Veh, who gave us not as a prey to their teeth: ⁷ our soul escaped as a bird from the snare of the ensnarers; the snare broke and we escaped. ⁸ Our help is in the name of Yah Veh, who worked the heavens and earth.

¹² For this is our boasting: the witness of our conscience: that with liberality and sincerity of Elohim - not in fleshly wisdom but in the charism of Elohim we have our behavior in the cosmos and more superabundantly toward you.

⁹ Yah Veh knows how to rescue the well-revering from testings and to guard the unjust to the day of judgment to punish:

²¹ Beloved, whenever our heart condemns us not, then we have boldness toward Elohim.

⁷ And they say to him, Why words my adoni these words? Far be it that your servants work according to this word:

²⁹ Far be it that we rebel against Yah Veh and turn this day from after Yah Veh to build a sacrifice altar for holocausts for offerings or for sacrifices apart from the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh our Elohim at the face of his tabernacle.

¹⁶ And the people answer and say, Far be it that we forsake Yah Veh to serve other elohim;

¹⁵ And Yah Veh exposes in the ear of Shemu El one day at the face of the coming of Shaul, saying,

⁴⁵ And the people say to Shaul, Yah Nathan - who worked this great salvation in Yisra El - die? Far be it: Yah Veh lives, not one hair of his head falls to the earth; for he worked with Elohim this day. - and the people redeem Yah Nathan, that he not die.

¹² And Yah Nathan says to David, O Elohim of Yisra El, when I probe my father about this time tomorrow - or the third; and behold, if there be good toward David and I send not to you to expose it in your ear;

⁶ Sacrifice and offering you desire not; you pierce my ears; holocaust and for sin you ask not.

⁵ Adonay Yah Veh opens my ear, and I neither rebel nor apostatize backward.

¹⁶ He comes and destroys these cultivators and gives the vineyard to others. - and they hear; and they say, So be it not.

¹⁵
THE NEW RELATIONSHIP
Henceforth I word you not, servants; for the servant knows not what his adoni does: but I say of you, friends; for all I heard of my Father I made known to you.

⁸ for I gave them the rhema you gave me; and they took them; and know truly that I come from you; and they trust that you apostolized me.

¹³ Awe Yah Veh your Elohim and serve him and oath by his name:

⁶⁶ and suspends your life in front of you; and you fear day and night and trust not in your life:

²⁶ And she says, Oh my adoni, as your soul lives, my adoni, I am the woman who stationed here by you, praying unto Yah Veh:

⁵⁵ And Shaul sees David going to meet the Peleshethiy; and he says to Abi Ner the governor of the host, Abi Ner, whose son is this lad? And Abi Ner says, As your soul lives, O sovereign, I know not.

²⁶ And now, my adoni, as Yah Veh lives and as your soul lives, seeing Yah Veh withheld you from coming to blood and from saving yourself by your own hand, now may your enemies and they who seek evil to my adoni, be as Nabal:

¹
DAVID AND THE PELESHETHIY
And David says in his heart, And now I become scraped away one day by the hand of Shaul: there is naught better for me than to speedily escape into the land of the Peleshethiy; so that Shaul quits seeking me any more in any border of Yisra El: and in escaping, I escape from his hand.

²¹ And Ittay answers the sovereign and says, Yah Veh lives and adoni the sovereign lives, surely in whatever place my adoni the sovereign is - whether in death or life, even there also your servant is.

² And Eli Yah says to Eli Shua, Settle here, I beseech you; for Yah Veh sends me to Beth El. And Eli Shua says, Yah Veh lives and your soul lives; I leave you not. - and they descend to Beth El.

⁴ And Eli Yah says to him, Eli Shua, settle here, I beseech you; for Yah Veh sends me to Yericho. And he says, Yah Veh lives and your soul lives; I leave you not. - and they come to Yericho.

⁶ And Eli Yah says to him, Settle, I beseech you, here; for Yah Veh sends me to Yarden. And he says, Yah Veh lives and your soul lives; I leave you not. - and the two go on.

³ the cords of death surround me and the straits of sheol find me: I find tribulation and grief:

² and you oath, Yah Veh lives! - in truth, in judgment and in justness: and the goyim bless themselves in him and in him they halal.

¹⁶ And Sidqi Yah the sovereign oaths covertly to Yirme Yah, saying, Yah Veh lives, who worked this soul of mine; I neither deathify you nor give you into the hand of these men who seek your soul.

³⁰ And why stand we in peril every hour? ³¹ I die daily, boasting in what I have in Messiah Yah Shua our Adonay.

⁹ but we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves so that we confided not in ourselves - but in Elohim who raised the dead: ¹⁰ who rescued us from so great a death - and rescues; in whom we hope to still rescue:

¹⁶ For humanity indeed oaths by the greater: and an oath establishes a finality of all controversy.

¹⁰ And in the day of your cheerfulness and in your seasons and in the heads of your months, blast with the trumpets over your holocausts and over the sacrifices of your shelamim; and they become to you for a memorial at the face of your Elohim: I - Yah Veh your Elohim.

¹¹
MONTHLY OBLATIONS TO YAH VEH
And in the heads of your months, oblate a holocaust to Yah Veh: two son bullocks of the oxen and one ram and seven integrious lambs yearling sons;

² and Yah Nathan son of Shaul delights mightily in David: and Yah Nathan tells David, saying, Shaul my father seeks to deathify you: and now, I beseech you, guard yourself until the morning and settle covertly and hide:

⁶ If in visiting, your father visits after me, say this, In asking, David asked of me to run to Beth Lechem his city: for there is a sacrifice of days there for all the family.

¹⁹ and on the third, descend mightily and come to the place you hid yourself in the day of work; and settle beside the stone Ezel:

²³ And he says, Why go you to him today? It is neither new moon nor shabbath. And she says, Shalom.

¹² For neither an enemy reproaches me - or I had borne it; nor he who hates me greatens against me; - or I had hid myself from him:

³ blast the shophar in the new moon - in the full moon on our celebration day.

³ The subtle sees the evil and hides himself; and the gullible pass on and are penalized.

⁵⁹ So they take stones to cast at him: but Yah Shua secretes himself, and goes from the priestal precinct, passing through their midst, and thus passes by.

¹⁴ and straightway the brothers apostolize Paulos to go, as upon the sea: and Silas and Timo Theos still abide there.

¹⁶
WARNINGS
So no one is to judge you in food or in drink or in apportioning a celebration or of the new moon or of the shabbaths:

⁵ But to the place Yah Veh your Elohim chooses of all your scions to put his name there, seek and enter his tabernacle:

¹² And they answer them and say, He is! Behold, he is at your face: hasten now, for he comes today to the city; for today there is a sacrifice of the people in the bamah:

² And Shemu El says, How go I? When Shaul hears, he slaughters me. And Yah Veh says, Take a heifer of the ox in your hand and say, I come to sacrifice to Yah Veh; ³ and call Yishay to the sacrifice and I have you know what to work: and anoint to me whom I say to you. ⁴ And Shemu El works what Yah Veh words and comes to Beth Lechem: and the elders of the city tremble to meet him and say, Come you in shalom? ⁵ And he says, I come in shalom to sacrifice to Yah Veh: hallow yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice. - and he hallows Yishay and his sons and calls them to the sacrifice.

⁵⁸ And Shaul says to him, Whose son are you, lad? And David says, I am the son of your servant Yishay the Beth Lechemiy.

⁴² Indeed, says not the scripture, The Messiah comes from the sperma of David and from the village of Beth Lechem where David was? ^{Michah 5:2}

²³ And the word well-pleased my eyes: and I took twelve men of you - one man per scion:

⁹ And Yah Nathan says, Far be it from you: for in knowing, had I known that my father finishes off evil to come on you, had I not told you?

¹⁷ So now know and see what you work; for evil finishes off against our adoni and against all his household: for he is too much of a son of Beli Yaal to word to.

⁴ - and the word is right in the eyes of Abi Shalom and in the eyes of all the elders of Yisra El.

⁷ And the sovereign rises from the banquet of wine, and in his fury goes into the palace garden; and Haman stands to beseech for his soul to Ester the sovereigness; for he sees that there is evil finished against him by the sovereign.

⁴⁹ And now if you work in mercy and truth with my adoni, tell me: and if not, tell me; so that I face right, or left.

²⁹ And the day approaches that Yisra El die: and he calls his son Yoseph and says to him, If now I find charism in your eyes, put, I beseech you, your hand under my flank and work in mercy and truth with me; entomb me not, I beseech you, in Misrayim:

¹⁴ And the men say to her, Our soul dies for yours, if you tell not this word; and in giving, when Yah Veh gives us the land, we work mercy and truth with you.

²² El of elohim - Yah Veh El of elohim - Yah Veh - he knows - and Yisra El he knows - if in rebellion - if in treason against Yah Veh you save us not this day

⁸ And Noomiy says to her two daughters in law, Go, each woman, return to the house of your mother; Yah Veh work mercy with you, as you worked with the dead and with me.

³ And Yah Nathan and David cut a covenant because he loves him as his own soul:

¹⁶ And Yah Nathan cuts with the house of David, and Yah Veh seeks it at the hand of the enemies of David:

¹⁸ And the two cut a covenant at the face of Yah Veh: and David settles in the forest and Yah Nathan goes to his house.

³² And Abi Shalom says to Yah Ab, Behold, I send to you, saying, Come here, that I may send you to the sovereign, to say, Why come I from Geshur? It had been good for me to still be there: and now have me see the face of the sovereign; and if there be perversity in me, may he deathify me.

¹⁷ And David goes out at their face and answers and says to them, If you come to me in shalom to help me, my heart becomes yours: but if to hurl me to my tribulators - seeing there is no violence in my palms, the Elohim of our fathers sees and reproves.

¹¹ I said in my haste, All humans are liars.

³ forsake not mercy and truth; bind them about your throat; inscribe them on the slab of your heart:

¹¹ For indeed, if I injured or transacted somewhat worthy of death, I shun not to die: and if there be none of these whereof these accuse me, no one can give me as a charism to them: I call upon the Kaisar.

³⁸ And Yah Nathan calls out after the lad, Quickly! Hasten! Stay not! And the lad of Yah Nathan gathers up the arrows and comes to his adoni:

⁴² And Yah Nathan says to David, Go in shalom; inasmuch as we oathed, both of us, in the name of Yah Veh, saying, Yah Veh be between me and between you and between my seed and between your seed eternally. - and he rises and goes: and Yah Nathan goes into the city.

⁷ and Yoseph sees his brothers and he recognizes them; but they recognize him not; and he words sternly to them: and he says to them, Whence come you? And they say, From the land of Kenaan to market for kernels for food.

³⁰ The man, the adoni of the land, words sternly to us and gives us as spies of the land.

³⁰ Then Shaul kindles his wrath against Yah Nathan and he says to him, You son of the perverted rebellious, know I not that you chose the son of Yishay to your own shame and to the shame of the nakedness of your mother? ³¹ For all the days the son of Yishay lives on the soil, neither you establish nor your sovereigndom: and now, send and take him to me; for he is a son of death. ³² And Yah Nathan answers Shaul his father and says to him, Why deathify him? What works he? ³³ And Shaul casts a spear at him to smite him: whereby Yah Nathan knows that his father has fully finished to deathify David. ³⁴ And Yah Nathan rises from the table in fuming wrath and eats no bread the second day of the month: for he contorts for David, because his father shames him.

¹⁰ And Nabal answers the servants of David and says, Who is David? Who is the son of Yishay? Now a days servants abound by the myriads - every man who breaks away from the face of his adoni:

¹⁴ And one lad of the lads tells Abi Gail, the woman of Nabal, saying, Behold, David sends angels from the wilderness to bless our adoni; and he swoops on them:

¹³ and the sovereign answers the people hard and forsakes the counsel the elders counsel him;

²³ The impoverished word supplications; and the rich answer strongly.

⁴ Sees he not my ways? - scribes all my paces?

³ you proof my heart; you visit me in the night; you refine me; you find naught; I plot that my mouth not transgress.

¹ To His Eminence: A Psalm by David. O Yah Veh, you probed me and know; ² you know my settling and my uprising; you discern my intention afar off; ³ you winnow my path and my reposing and are accustomed to all my ways; ⁴ for there is not an utterance in my tongue. Behold, O Yah Veh, you know altogether;

⁵ Counsel in the heart of man is as deep water; and the man of discernment bails.

² The honor of Elohim is to hide a word; and the honor of sovereigns to probe a word. ³ The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of sovereigns, probe not.

⁵ No man is able to stand at your face all the days of your life: as I became with Mosheh, I become with you: I neither let you down nor forsake you.

¹⁷ where you die, I die and there I entomb; Yah Veh work to me and add also, if aught but death separate you and me.

¹⁷ And he says, What is the word he words to you? I beseech you, conceal not from me: may Elohim work thus to you and thus also add, if you conceal from me one word of all the words he worded to you.

⁷ And so be it, when these signs come to you, work as your hand finds; for Elohim is with you:

⁶ and the Spirit of Elohim prospers on Shaul when he hears those words and kindles his wrath mightily; ⁷ and he takes a yoke of oxen and dismembers them and by the hands of angels, sends them throughout all the borders of Yisra El saying, Whoever goes not after Shaul and after Shemu El, so be it worked to his oxen. And the fear of Yah Veh falls on the people and they go as one man: ⁸ and he musters them in Bezeq, of the sons of Yisra El, three hundred thousand; and of the men of Yah Hudah, thirty thousand. ⁹ And they say to the angels who come, Say thus to the men of Yabesh Gilad: Tomorrow, by the heat of the sun, you have salvation. - and the angels come and tell it to the men of Yabesh; and they cheer. ¹⁰ And the men of Yabesh say, Tomorrow we come to you; and you work to us all that seems good in your eyes. ¹¹ And so be it, on the morrow, Shaul sets the people in three heads; and they come midst the camp in the morning watch and smite the Ammoniy until the heat of the day: and so be it, they who survive scatter, so that no two of them survive together. ¹² And the people say to Shemu El, Who says, Shaul reigns over us? Give the men, and we deathify them. ¹³ And Shaul says, Deathify no man this day: for today Yah Veh works salvation in Yisra El.

⁴⁷ and Shaul captures the sovereigndom over Yisra El and fights all his enemies all around - against Moab and against the sons of Ammon and against Edom and against the sovereigns of Sobah and against the Peleshethiy: and wherever he turns his face, he deals wickedly:

³⁷ And David says, Yah Veh who rescued me from the hand of the lion and from the hand of the bear - he rescues me from the hand of this Peleshethiy. And Shaul says to David, Go! And Yah Veh be with you!

¹² and Shaul awes at the face of David, because Yah Veh is with him and turns aside from Shaul:

²² may Elohim add to work thus to the enemies of David, if, of all he has, I let survive toward the morning light any who urinate against the wall.

³⁵ And all the people come to have David chew bread while it is still day, and David oaths, saying, Thus work Elohim to me, and add also, if I taste bread or aught at all, until the face of the sun downs.

¹⁵ but my mercy turns not aside from him as I turned it aside from Shaul - whom I turned aside from your face:

¹³ And say to Amasa, Are you not of my bone and of my flesh? Elohim work thus to me and add also if you become not governor of the host at my face all days under Yah Ab.

² And Iy Zebel sends an angel to Eli Yah, saying, Thus work the elohim and add also; about this time tomorrow I set your soul as the soul of one of them.

¹⁰ And Ben Hadad sends to him and says, The elohim work so to me and add also, if the dust of Shomeron suffice for palmfuls for all the people at my feet.

¹¹ Now, my son, Yah Veh be with you and prosper you; and build the house of Yah Veh your Elohim as he words you:

¹⁶ of the gold, the silver and the copper and the iron, there is no number. Rise and work! And Yah Veh be with you.

²⁰ doctrinating them to guard all - as much as ever I misvahed you: and behold, I am with you all days - even to the completion/shalom of the eon. Amen. ^{*name: Exodus 3:3-15, Isaiah 42:8, John 8:58}

⁹ transact both those that you learned and took and heard and saw in me: and the Elohim of shalom be with you.

³ And the sovereign says, Is there finally a man of the house of Shaul to whom I work the mercy of Elohim? And Siba says to the sovereign, Yah Nathan has yet a son with smitten feet.

¹
WALKING HOLY
So as beloved children, be mimickers of Elohim; ² and walk in love, exactly as Messiah also loved us and surrendered himself for us - an offering and a sacrifice to Elohim to a well-fragranced fragrance.

²¹ Oath now to me by Yah Veh, that you not cut off my seed after me and that you not desolate my name from the house of my father.

¹
THE MERCY OF DAVID
And David says, Remain there yet any of the house of Shaul to work mercy for sake of Yah Nathan? ² And there is a servant of the house of Shaul; his name is Siba: and they call him to David, and the sovereign says to him, Are you Siba? And he says, Your servant. ³ And the sovereign says, Is there finally a man of the house of Shaul to whom I work the mercy of Elohim? And Siba says to the sovereign, Yah Nathan has yet a son with smitten feet. ⁴ And the sovereign says to him, Where is he? And Siba says to the sovereign, Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammi El in Lo Debar. ⁵ Then sovereign David sends and takes him from the house of Machir the son of Ammi El from Lo Debar. ⁶ And Mephi Bosheth the son of Yah Nathan the son of Shaul comes to David; and he falls on his face and prostrates. And David says, Mephi Bosheth. And he says, Behold, your servant! ⁷ And David says to him, Awe not: for in working, I work you mercy for sake of Yah Nathan your father; and restore all the field of Shaul your father to you - that you eat bread at my table continually.

⁷ And the sovereign spares Mephi Bosheth the son of Yah Nathan the son of Shaul because of the oath of Yah Veh between them - between David and between Yah Nathan the son of Shaul.

¹⁸ In that day Yah Veh cuts a covenant with Abram, saying, To your seed I gave this land - from the river of Misrayim to the great river - the river Euphrates:

² and the Peleshethiy adhere to Shaul and his sons; and the Peleshethiy smite Yah Nathan and Abi Nadab and Malki Shua - sons of Shaul:

⁷ yes, they come into the house, he lies down on his bed in his bedchamber; and they smite him and deathify him and twist off his head; and they take his head and journey through the plain all night. ⁸ And they bring the head of Ish Bosheth to David to Hebron; and say to the sovereign, Behold the head of Ish Bosheth the son of Shaul your enemy who sought your soul; and this day Yah Veh gives my adoni the sovereign avengements of Shaul and of his seed.

⁸ And the sovereign takes the two sons of Rispah the daughter of Ajah whom she birthed to Shaul - Armoni and Mephi Bosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Shaul, whom she birthed to Adri El the son of Barzillay the Mecholathiy:

⁶ When your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter, or the woman of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, goads you covertly, saying, Come and serve other elohim whom you know not - you, nor thy fathers;

¹
DAVID AND YAH NATHAN
And so be it, he finishes wording to Shaul, and the soul of Yah Nathan binds with the soul of David; and Yah Nathan loves him as his own soul.

²⁶ I distress for you, my brother Yah Nathan: mighty pleasing are you to me: marvellous your love to me surpassing the love of women.

²⁴ A man with friends shows himself friendly; and there is a lover who adheres closer than a brother.

⁵ And David says to Yah Nathan, Behold, tomorrow is the new moon; and in sitting, I sit with the sovereign to eat: send me away to hide in the field until the third evening.

²⁵ And the sovereign settles on his seat - as time by time on a seat by the wall: and Yah Nathan rises and Abi Ner settles by the side of Shaul and they inspect the place of David.

² And if they say, Yah Veh lives! - surely they oath falsely.

¹⁶ And so be it, if they diligently learn the ways of my people, to oath by my name - Yah Veh lives! As they taught my people to oath by Baal; thus are they built midst my people.

¹⁴ they who oath by the guilt of Shomeron, and say, Your elohim, O Dan, lives! and, The way of Beer Sheba lives! - even they fall and never rise again.

³⁷ and the lad comes to the place of the arrow Yah Nathan shot; and Yah Nathan calls out after the lad and says, Is not the arrow beyond you?

⁵ And Saray says to Abram, My violence is on you: I - I give my maid into your bosom; and she sees that she conceives, and is abased in her eyes: Yah Veh judge between me and you.

⁵⁰ If you humble my daughters, or if you take women beside my daughters - no man is with us - see Elohim is witness between me and between you.

¹⁴ and not only, while I still live work me the mercy of Yah Veh that I not die: ¹⁵ neither cut off your mercy from my house eternally: nor when Yah Veh cuts off the enemies of David - every man from the face of the soil.

¹⁶ And to the wicked Elohim says, What is it to you to scribe my statutes? - to lift my covenant in your mouth? ¹⁷ Seeing you hate discipline and cast my words behind you. ¹⁸ When you see a thief, he pleases you; and you allot with adulterers: ¹⁹ you spread your mouth to evil and contrive your tongue to deceit: ²⁰ you settle and word against your brother; you give to trip the son of your own mother. ²¹ These you work, and I hush; you equate that I become as your; but I reprove you and line them up at your eyes.

¹⁷ for they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.

¹⁷ better, a ration of greens and love than a foddered ox and hatred.

¹ Better, a parched morsel with serenity than a house full of sacrifices with strife.

³ To work justice and judgment is chosen of Yah Veh, rather than sacrifice.

²⁷ The sacrifice of the wicked is abhorrence; how much more, when he brings it with intrigue?

¹¹ Why your abundant sacrifices to me? says Yah Veh: I am satiated by the holocausts of rams and the fat of fatlings; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks or of lambs or of he goats. ¹² When you come to be seen at my face, who beseeches this at your hand - to trample my courts? ¹³ Add no more vain offerings; incense is an abhorrence to me; the new moons and shabbaths, the calling of convocations, I cannot; it is mischief: and the private assembly. ¹⁴ Your new moons and your seasons my soul hates: they are a burden to me; I weary to bear them. ¹⁵ And in spreading your palms, I conceal my eyes from you: yes, your abounding prayers I hear not: your hands are filled with blood.

⁶ And when you ate and when you drank ate you not, and drank you not for yourselves?

²⁸
THE TRIAL OF YAH SHUA
So they lead Yah Shua from Caiaphas to the praetorium: and it is early morning; and they themselves enter not the praetorium, lest they defile themselves to eat the pasach.

²⁰ And she says, The Peleshethiy on you, Shimshon! And he wakens from his sleep and says, I go out as time by time and shake myself. - and he knows not that Yah Veh turned from him.

¹⁸ And Yah Nathan says to David, Tomorrow is the new moon: and they inspect you and inspect your seat:

²⁰ But the soul who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of shelamim to Yah Veh, having his foulness on him, even that soul becomes cut off from his people. ²¹ Moreover the soul who touches any foulness, as human foulness or animal foulness or any abominable foulness, and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of shelamim to Yah Veh, even that soul becomes cut off from his people.

²⁴ And for these you become foul: whoever touches their carcase becomes foul until the evening.

²⁷ And whatever goes on his paws, among all live beings that go on all four, are foul to you: whoever touches their carcase becomes foul until the evening.

³¹ these are foul to you among all the teemers: whoever touches them, in their death, becomes foul until the evening:

⁴⁰ and he who eats of the carcase thereof washes his clothes and becomes foul until the evening: and he who bears the carcase thereof washes his clothes and becomes foul until the evening.

⁵ And the man who touches his bed launders his clothes and baptizes in water and becomes foul until the evening.

¹⁶ And when the seed of copulation goes out from any man, he baptizes all his flesh in water and becomes foul until the evening: ¹⁷ and launders with water every cloth and every skin whereon the seed of copulation is: and it becomes foul until the evening.

¹⁹ And when a woman fluxes and her flux in her flesh is blood, she becomes in her exclusion seven days: and whoever touches her becomes foul until the evening. ²⁰ And in her exclusion all she lies on becomes foul: and all she sits on becomes foul. ²¹ And whoever touches her bed launders his clothes and baptizes in water and becomes foul until the evening.

¹⁶ and whoever touches someone pierced with a sword in the face of the fields, or that died, or a bone of a human, or a tomb, becomes foul seven days.

⁵ And he says, I come in shalom to sacrifice to Yah Veh: hallow yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice. - and he hallows Yishay and his sons and calls them to the sacrifice.

¹¹ and Shaul casts the spear; for, he says, I smite David even to the wall. And David turns aside from his face two times:

⁹ And the evil spirit from Yah Veh is on Shaul, as he settles in his house with his spear in his hand: and David strums with his hand: ¹⁰ and Shaul seeks to smite David to the wall with the spear: but he bursts forth from the face of Shaul and he smites the spear into the wall: and David flees and escapes that night.

¹⁵ And Shaul sends the angels to see David, saying, Ascend him to me in the bed, and I deathify him.

⁷ And Shaul says to his servants stationed around him, Hear now, you Ben Yaminiy; Gives the son of Yishay fields and vineyards to every one of you? Sets he you all governors of thousands and governors of hundreds ⁸ that you all conspire against me? And no one exposes in my ear that my son cut with the son of Yishay? And none of you is sick for me? And exposing in my ear that my son raises my servant to lurk against me as this day? ⁹ And Doeg the Edomiy who is stationed over the servants of Shaul answers and says, I saw the son of Yishay coming to Nob - to Achiy Melech the son of Achiy Tub:

¹³ And Shaul says to him, Why conspire you against me - you and the son of Yishay in that you gave him bread and a sword and asked of Elohim for him to rise against me, to lurk, as at this day? ¹⁴ And Achiy Melech answers the sovereign, and says, And who is as amenable among all your servants as David the son in law of the sovereign - who turns aside to hear you - who is honorable in your house?

¹
THE BRANCH
And a Rod comes from the stump of Yishay and a Branch from his roots bears fruit: {\cp2 cp Yesha Yah 11:10} ² and the spirit of Yah Veh rests upon him - the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge, and of the awe of Yah Veh;

⁵⁵ Is not this the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother indeed worded Miryam? And his brothers, Yaaqovos and Yoses and Shimon and Yah Hudah?

⁴
AS LIVING STONES
coming to him, a living stone; disapproved indeed by humanity but with Elohim, select, honorable;

²⁸ And Eli Ab his greatest brother hears when he words to the men; and Eli Ab kindles his wrath against David, and he says, Why descend you hither? And with whom leave you those few flock in the wilderness? I know your arrogance and the evil of your heart; for you descend to see the war.

² For vexation slaughters the foolish and envy deathifies the enticed.

²⁹ He who is slow to wrath is of great discernment; and he who is quick of spirit exalts folly.

² The tongue of the wise well-pleases knowledge; and the mouth of fools gushes folly.

¹² The rage of the sovereign is as the growling of a whelp; and his pleasure is as dew on the herbage.

¹⁹ One of harsh wrath must bear the penalty; for if you rescue him, you must do it again.

²⁴ Proud, arrogant: scorner is his name, who works the fury of arrogance.

²⁸ The man without control over his own spirit is as a city breached and without walls.

³ A stone is heavy and the sand weighty; and the vexation of a fool is heavier than both.

²² But I word to you, That everyone wroth with his brother in vain becomes subject to the judgment: and whoever says to his brother, Req! becomes subject to the sanhedrim: but whoever says, Fool! becomes subject to the fire of Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning.

³¹ Take from you all bitterness and fury and anger and crying out and blasphemy with all malice:

⁴ And you, fathers, enrage not your children: but nurture them in the discipline and admonition of Adonay.

¹⁹ So then, my beloved brothers, thus be every human: quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: ²⁰ For the wrath of man works not the justness of Elohim.

⁶ And Shaul hearkens to the voice of Yah Nathan: and Shaul oaths, As Yah Veh lives, deathify him not.

¹¹ And Shaul sends angels to the house of David to guard him - to deathify him in the morning: and Michal the woman of David tells him, saying, If you rescue not your soul tonight, tomorrow they deathify you. ¹² So Michal descends David through a window: and he goes and flees and escapes: ¹³ And Michal takes the teraphim and set them in the bed; and sets a mattress of doe goats for his headpieces and covers them with a cloth. ¹⁴ And Shaul sends angels to take David, and she says, He is sick. ¹⁵ And Shaul sends the angels to see David, saying, Ascend him to me in the bed, and I deathify him.

⁸ And work mercy with your servant; for you brought your servant into a covenant of Yah Veh with you: and, if there be perversity in me, deathify me yourself. And why this - to bring me to your father?

¹⁶ this word you work is not good: Yah Veh lives - you are sons of death, because you guard not your adoni, the anointed of Yah Veh: and now see where the spear of the sovereign is and the cruse of water at his headpieces.

²⁸ for all of the house of my father are naught but men of death to my adoni the sovereign: yet you set your servant among them who eat at your own table. What justness have I yet to cry any more to the sovereign?

¹¹ May the shrieking of the bound be at your face; according to the greatness of your arm may the sons of death remain;

³⁶ and Yaaqov inflames and chides with Laban: and Yaaqov answers and says to Laban, What is my rebellion? What is my sin, that you so hotly pursue after me?

⁵ for he set his soul in his palm and smote the Peleshethiy; and Yah Veh worked a great salvation for all Yisra El: you saw and cheered: so why sin against innocent blood, to deathify David gratuitously?

¹⁰ and Shaul seeks to smite David to the wall with the spear: but he bursts forth from the face of Shaul and he smites the spear into the wall: and David flees and escapes that night. ¹¹ And Shaul sends angels to the house of David to guard him - to deathify him in the morning: and Michal the woman of David tells him, saying, If you rescue not your soul tonight, tomorrow they deathify you.

⁷ If he say thus, Good! shalom to your servant: and if in inflaming, he inflames, then know that he finishes off evil.

²⁴ Neither befriend a master of fury; nor go with a man of fury;

¹¹ If you spare to rescue them who are taken to death and them who totter from the slaughter; ¹² if you say, Behold, we knew it not; Discerns he not, who gauges the heart? Knows he not, who guards your soul? - who returns to humanity according to his deeds?

⁸ Open your mouth for the mute for the plea of all sons of survivors: ⁹ open your mouth, judge justness and plead the cause of the humble and needy.

⁹ Be not hasty in your spirit to be vexed; for vexation rests in the bosom of fools.

³ This is an evil among all worked under the sun, one happening to all; and also, the heart of the sons of humanity is full of evil; and folly in their heart while they live: and after that - unto the dead.

⁹ The heart is crooked above all and incurable: who knows it?

²³ And the governor says, Indeed, what evil has he done? But they cry out superabundantly, wording, Stake!

²² And he says to them the third time, Indeed, what evil did he? I find no cause of death in him: so I discipline him and release him.

⁵¹ Judges our torah any human unless it first hears him and knows what he does?

¹⁰ and Shaul seeks to smite David to the wall with the spear: but he bursts forth from the face of Shaul and he smites the spear into the wall: and David flees and escapes that night.

²⁰ for there is not a just human on earth, who works good and sins not.

⁵ And he looks all around them with wrath being grieved for the petrifaction of their hearts; he words to the human, Spread your hand! - and he spreads and his hand restores, whole as the other.

²⁶
ADMONITIONS TO THE HOLY
Be wroth and sin not: neither have the sun go down upon your rage:

⁵ So Amasa cries out to Yah Hudah: but he lingers beyond the season to congregate.

²⁰ and I shoot three arrows on the side thereof - send as at a target: ²¹ and behold, I send a lad, Go, find the arrows. If in saying, I say to the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, take them! - then come: for there is shalom to you and no word: Yah Veh lives: ²² and if I say to the lad thus: Behold, the arrows beyond you! - go your way, for Yah Veh sends you away.

²² and if I say to the lad thus: Behold, the arrows beyond you! - go your way, for Yah Veh sends you away.

⁶ And I say, Oh that they give me pinions as a dove! for then I fly and tabernacle! ⁷ Behold, then I wander afar and stay overnight in the wilderness! Selah. ⁸ I hasten my escape from the rushing wind and storm. ⁹ Swallow them, O Adonay; divide their tongues: for I see violence and strife in the city.

⁴ neither give sleep to your eyes nor drowsiness to your eyelids; ⁵ deliver yourself as a gazelle from the hand - as a bird from the hand of the snarer.

¹⁶ Then whoever is in Yah Hudah, flee to the mountains: ¹⁷ whoever is on the housetop descend not to take somewhat from his house: ¹⁸ Then whoever is in the field return not to take his garments:

¹⁴
TRIBULATION
But when you see the abomination of desolation rhetorized by Dani El the prophet standing where it must not - whoever reads, comprehend: to them in Yah Hudah, flee to the mountains: ¹⁵ and to him on the housetop, neither descend to the house nor enter to take aught from his house: ¹⁶ and to him in the field, turn not back to take his garment:

³¹ In that day, whoever is on the housetop and his vessels in the house, descend not to take it away: and likewise whoever is in the field, return not. ³² Remember the woman of Lot.

¹¹ And Yaaqov kisses Rachel and lifts his voice and weeps:

¹³ And so be it, when Laban hears the report of Yaaqov the son of his sister, he runs to meet him and embraces him and kisses him and brings him to his house: and he describes all these words to Laban.

²⁸ And they say, Your servant our father is at shalom, he is yet alive. - and they bow and prostrate.

¹⁵ and he kisses all his brothers and weeps on them: and after that his brothers word with him.

¹
THE ANOINTING OF SHAUL
And Shemu El takes a flask of oil and pours it on his head and kisses him and says, Is it not because Yah Veh anoints you eminent over his inheritance?

²³ And Abi Gail sees David, and she hastens and descends off the he burro and falls on her face at the nostrils of David; and prostrates herself to the earth

⁶ And Mephi Bosheth the son of Yah Nathan the son of Shaul comes to David; and he falls on his face and prostrates. And David says, Mephi Bosheth. And he says, Behold, your servant!

³⁹ And all the people pass over Yarden: and the sovereign passes over; and the sovereign kisses Barzillay and blesses him; and he returns to his own place:

³⁷ And there becomes much weeping; they fall on the neck of Paulos and ardently kiss him,

²⁶ Yah Veh lift up his face on you and set you at shalom.

¹⁷ Then Eli answers and says, Go in shalom: and may Elohim of Yisra El give the petition you ask of him.

¹⁵ neither cut off your mercy from my house eternally: nor when Yah Veh cuts off the enemies of David - every man from the face of the soil.

²² and if I say to the lad thus: Behold, the arrows beyond you! - go your way, for Yah Veh sends you away. ²³ And the word you and I word, behold, Yah Veh is between you and me eternally.

⁵⁰ And he says to the woman, Your trust saves you! Go in shalom!

³⁶ And the prison guard evangelizes this word to Paulos, The strategoi sends to release you: so now depart, and go in shalom.
