English: And Saul was very angry, and went himself also to Armathaim, and he comes as far as the well of the threshing floor that is in Sephi; and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And they said, Behold, in Navath in Rama.
Coptic: σαουλ δε αfβωκ εhραι εαυαθ ντε hραμμα. αυω πεπνα μπνουτε αfι εjωf hωωf. αυω νεfμοοsε εfπροφητευε. sαντεfει εhραι εαυαθ ντε hραμμα.

English: And Jonathan said to him, Far be it from thee: thou shalt not die: behold, my father will not do any thing great or small without discovering it to me; and why should my father hide this matter from me? This thing is not so.
Coptic: δαυειδ δε αfουωsβ εfjω μμοσ νιωναθαν. jε πεκειωτ σοουν jε αιcεν χαρισ ναhρακ αυω α πεκειωτ jοοσ. jε μπερτρε ιωναθαν ειμε επειsαjε. jε ννεfταμε δαυειδ εροf. αλλα πjοεισ ονh. αυω τεκψυχη ονh. jε κατα θε νταιjοοσ α τεfκακια jωκ εβολ. hν ταμητε αυω hν τμητε μπμου.
English: And David answered Jonathan, and said, Thy father knows surely that I have found grace in thy sight, and he said, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he refuse his consent: but as the Lord lives and thy soul lives, as I said, the space is filled up between me and death.
Coptic: πεjε ιωναθαν νδαυειδ. jε ου πετερε τεκψυχη ουαsf νταααf νμμακ.

English: And if thy father do in anywise enquire for me, then shalt thou say, David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethleem his city, for there is there, a yearly sacrifice for all the family.

English: If he shall say thus, Well, —all is safe for thy servant: but if he shall answer harshly to thee, know that evil is determined by him.
Coptic: νγειρε ντοκ μν πεκhμhαλ νουνα. jε ντακεινε εhουν μπεκhμhαλ νμμακ ευδιαθυκη ντε πjοεισ. αυω εsjε ουν jινcονσ jι εhουν επεκhμhαλ. μουουτ μμοι ντοκ. αυω ετβεου κναjιτ. ντειhε ερατf μπεκειωτ.
English: And thou shalt deal mercifully with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the Lord with thyself: and if there is iniquity in thy servant, slay me thyself; but why dost thou thus bring me to thy father?
Coptic: πεjε ιωναθαν ναf. jε ννε παι sωπε μμοι jε hν ουειμε ειsανειμε jε α πjινcονσ jωκ εβολ ντοοτf μπαειωτ. ετρεfει εhραι εjωκ. ενfsοοπ αν hν νεκπολισ. ανοκ tναταμοκ επαι.
English: And Jonathan said, That be far from thee: for if I surely know that evil is determined by my father to come upon thee, although it should not be against thy cities, I will tell thee.
Coptic: πεjε δαυειδ νιωναθαν jε νιμ πετναταμοι επαι. ερsαν πεκειωτ. ταυε sαjε νακ εfναsτ.
English: And David said to Jonathan, Who can tell me if thy father should answer roughly?
Coptic: πεjε ιωναθαν νδαδ jε μοοsε μαρον εβολ ετσωsε. αυω ντοου μπεσναυ. αυβωκ εβολ ετσωsε.
English: And Jonathan said to David, Go, and abide in the field. And they went out both into the field.
