Be on your guard tomorrow morning. Go into hiding and stay there. 3 … I will speak to him about you and tell you what I find out.”

7. 7 So Jonathan called David and told him the whole conversation. He brought him to Saul, and David was with Saul as before. 8 Once more war broke out, and David sent out and fought the Philistines. He struck them with such force that they fled before him.
