Very early in the morning the leading priests and the elders of the people met again to lay plans for putting Jesus to death.

I have heard the many rumors about me. They call me“ The Man Who Lives in Terror.” They threaten,“ If you say anything, we will report it.” Even my old friends are watching me, waiting for a fatal slip.“ He will trap himself,” they say,“ and then we will get our revenge on him.”

“ You have invited terrors from all around, as though you were calling them to a day of feasting. In the day of the Lord’s anger, no one has escaped or survived. The enemy has killed all the children whom I carried and raised.”

Now Ahithophel urged Absalom,“ Let me choose 12,000 men to start out after David tonight.I will catch up with him while he is weary and discouraged. He and his troops will panic, and everyone will run away. Then I will kill only the king,and I will bring all the people back to you as a bride returns to her husband. After all, it is only one man’s life that you seek. Then you will be at peace with all the people.”This plan seemed good to Absalom and to all the elders of Israel.

Then Saul hurled his spear at Jonathan, intending to kill him. So at last Jonathan realized that his father was really determined to kill David.

Saul hurled his spear at David. But David dodged out of the way, and leaving the spear stuck in the wall, he fled and escaped into the night.Then Saul sent troops to watch David’s house. They were told to kill David when he came out the next morning. But Michal, David’s wife, warned him,“ If you don’t escape tonight, you will be dead by morning.”So she helped him climb out through a window, and he fled and escaped.Then she took an idol and put it in his bed, covered it with blankets, and put a cushion of goat’s hair at its head.When the troops came to arrest David, she told them he was sick and couldn’t get out of bed.But Saul sent the troops back to get David. He ordered,“ Bring him to me in his bed so I can kill him!”But when they came to carry David out, they discovered that it was only an idol in the bed with a cushion of goat’s hair at its head.“ Why have you betrayed me like this and let my enemy escape?” Saul demanded of Michal.“ I had to,” Michal replied.“ He threatened to kill me if I didn’t help him.”

Is that why you have conspired against me? For not one of you told me when my own son made a solemn pact with the son of Jesse. You’re not even sorry for me. Think of it! My own son— encouraging him to kill me, as he is trying to do this very day!”Then Doeg the Edomite, who was standing there with Saul’s men, spoke up.“ When I was at Nob,” he said,“ I saw the son of Jesse talking to the priest, Ahimelech son of Ahitub.Ahimelech consulted the Lord for him. Then he gave him food and the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”

I was like a lamb being led to the slaughter. I had no idea that they were planning to kill me!“ Let’s destroy this man and all his words,” they said.“ Let’s cut him down, so his name will be forgotten forever.”

I am surrounded by fierce lions who greedily devour human prey— whose teeth pierce like spears and arrows, and whose tongues cut like swords.

Don’t go out to the fields! Don’t travel on the roads! The enemy’s sword is everywhere and terrorizes us at every turn!

At that same time the leading priests and elders were meeting at the residence of Caiaphas, the high priest,plotting how to capture Jesus secretly and kill him.

I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors. I will not endure conceit and pride.

Its walls are patrolled day and night against invaders, but the real danger is wickedness within the city.

But now the men of Ziph went to Saul in Gibeah and betrayed David to him.“ We know where David is hiding,” they said.“ He is in the strongholds of Horesh on the hill of Hakilah, which is in the southern part of Jeshimon.Come down whenever you’re ready, O king, and we will catch him and hand him over to you!”

Inside, the leading priests and the entire high council were trying to find witnesses who would lie about Jesus, so they could put him to death.

O God, have mercy on me, for people are hounding me. My foes attack me all day long.I am constantly hounded by those who slander me, and many are boldly attacking me.But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

Then the entire council took Jesus to Pilate, the Roman governor.They began to state their case:“ This man has been leading our people astray by telling them not to pay their taxes to the Roman government and by claiming he is the Messiah, a king.”

Then they became insistent.“ But he is causing riots by his teaching wherever he goes— all over Judea, from Galilee to Jerusalem!”

Then he shouted to Saul,“ Why do you listen to the people who say I am trying to harm you?

The next day, when Pashhur finally released him, Jeremiah said,“ Pashhur, the Lord has changed your name. From now on you are to be called‘ The Man Who Lives in Terror.’For this is what the Lord says:‘ I will send terror upon you and all your friends, and you will watch as they are slaughtered by the swords of the enemy. I will hand the people of Judah over to the king of Babylon. He will take them captive to Babylon or run them through with the sword.
