1 Samuel 1:1

1:1

Now there was a certain
<0259>

man
<0376>

of Ramathaimzophim
<07436>_,

of mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

and his name
<08034>

[was] Elkanah
<0511>_,

the son
<01121>

of Jeroham
<03395>_,

the son
<01121>

of Elihu
<0453>_,

the son
<01121>

of Tohu
<08459>_,

the son
<01121>

of Zuph
<06689>_,

an Ephrathite
<0673>_:

1 Samuel 19:1-24

19:1

And Saul
<07586>

spake
<01696> (8762)

to Jonathan
<03129>

his son
<01121>_,

and to all his servants
<05650>_,

that they should kill
<04191> (8687)

David
<01732>_.

19:2

But Jonathan
<03083>

Saul's
<07586>

son
<01121>

delighted
<02654> (8804)

much
<03966>

in David
<01732>_:

and Jonathan
<03083>

told
<05046> (8686)

David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Saul
<07586>

my father
<01>

seeketh
<01245> (8764)

to kill
<04191> (8687)

thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed
<08104> (8734)

to thyself until the morning
<01242>_,

and abide
<03427> (8804)

in a secret
<05643>

[place], and hide
<02244> (8738)

thyself:

19:3

And I will go out
<03318> (8799)

and stand
<05975> (8804)

beside
<03027>

my father
<01>

in the field
<07704>

where thou [art], and I will commune
<01696> (8762)

with my father
<01>

of thee; and what
<04100>

I see
<07200> (8804)_,

that I will tell
<05046> (8689)

thee.

19:4

And Jonathan
<03083>

spake
<01696> (8762)

good
<02896>

of David
<01732>

unto Saul
<07586>

his father
<01>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Let not the king
<04428>

sin
<02398> (8799)

against his servant
<05650>_,

against David
<01732>_;

because he hath not sinned
<02398> (8804)

against thee, and because his works
<04639>

[have been] to thee-ward very
<03966>

good
<02896>_:

19:5

For he did put
<07760> (8799)

his life
<05315>

in his hand
<03709>_,

and slew
<05221> (8686)

the Philistine
<06430>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

wrought
<06213> (8799)

a great
<01419>

salvation
<08668>

for all Israel
<03478>_:

thou sawest
<07200> (8804)

[it], and didst rejoice
<08055> (8799)_:

wherefore then wilt thou sin
<02398> (8799)

against innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>_,

to slay
<04191> (8687)

David
<01732>

without a cause
<02600>_?

19:6

And Saul
<07586>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto the voice
<06963>

of Jonathan
<03083>_:

and Saul
<07586>

sware
<07650> (8735)_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

he shall not
<0518>

be slain
<04191> (8714)_.

19:7

And Jonathan
<03083>

called
<07121> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

and Jonathan
<03083>

shewed
<05046> (8686)

him all those things
<01697>_.

And Jonathan
<03083>

brought
<0935> (8686)

David
<01732>

to Saul
<07586>_,

and he was in his presence
<06440>_,

as in times past
<0865> <08032>_.

{in times...: Heb. yesterday, third day}

19:8

And there was war
<04421>

again
<03254> (8686)_:

and David
<01732>

went out
<03318> (8799)_,

and fought
<03898> (8735)

with the Philistines
<06430>_,

and slew
<05221> (8686)

them with a great
<01419>

slaughter
<04347>_;

and they fled
<05127> (8799)

from
<06440>

him. {him: Heb. his face}

19:9

And the evil
<07451>

spirit
<07307>

from the LORD
<03068>

was upon Saul
<07586>_,

as he sat
<03427> (8802)

in his house
<01004>

with his javelin
<02595>

in his hand
<03027>_:

and David
<01732>

played
<05059> (8764)

with [his] hand
<03027>_.

19:10

And Saul
<07586>

sought
<01245> (8762)

to smite
<05221> (8687)

David
<01732>

even to the wall
<07023>

with the javelin
<02595>_;

but he slipped away
<06362> (8799)

out of Saul's
<07586>

presence
<06440>_,

and he smote
<05221> (8686)

the javelin
<02595>

into the wall
<07023>_:

and David
<01732>

fled
<05127> (8804)_,

and escaped
<04422> (8735)

that night
<03915>_.

19:11

Saul
<07586>

also sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto David's
<01732>

house
<01004>_,

to watch
<08104> (8800)

him, and to slay
<04191> (8687)

him in the morning
<01242>_:

and Michal
<04324>

David's
<01732>

wife
<0802>

told
<05046> (8686)

him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If thou save
<04422> (8764)

not thy life
<05315>

to night
<03915>_,

to morrow
<04279>

thou shalt be slain
<04191> (8716)_.

19:12

So Michal
<04324>

let
<03381> (0)

David
<01732>

down
<03381> (8686)

through a window
<02474>_:

and he went
<03212> (8799)_,

and fled
<01272> (8799)_,

and escaped
<04422> (8735)_.

19:13

And Michal
<04324>

took
<03947> (8799)

an image
<08655>_,

and laid
<07760> (8799)

[it] in the bed
<04296>_,

and put
<07760> (8804)

a pillow
<03523>

of goats
<05795>_'

[hair] for his bolster
<04763>_,

and covered
<03680> (8762)

[it] with a cloth
<0899>_.

{image: Heb. teraphim}

19:14

And when Saul
<07586>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to take
<03947> (8800)

David
<01732>_,

she said
<0559> (8799)_,

He [is] sick
<02470> (8802)_.

19:15

And Saul
<07586>

sent
<07971> (8799)

the messengers
<04397>

[again] to see
<07200> (8800)

David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Bring him up
<05927> (8685)

to me in the bed
<04296>_,

that I may slay
<04191> (8687)

him.

19:16

And when the messengers
<04397>

were come in
<0935> (8799)_,

behold, [there was] an image
<08655>

in the bed
<04296>_,

with a pillow
<03523>

of goats
<05795>_'

[hair] for his bolster
<04763>_.

19:17

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Michal
<04324>_,

Why hast thou deceived me so
<07411> (8765)_,

and sent away
<07971> (8762)

mine enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

that he is escaped
<04422> (8735)_?

And Michal
<04324>

answered
<0559> (8799)

Saul
<07586>_,

He said
<0559> (8804)

unto me, Let me go
<07971> (8761)_;

why should I kill
<04191> (8686)

thee?

19:18

So David
<01732>

fled
<01272> (8804)_,

and escaped
<04422> (8735)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Samuel
<08050>

to Ramah
<07414>_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

him all that Saul
<07586>

had done
<06213> (8804)

to him. And he and Samuel
<08050>

went
<03212> (8799)

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in Naioth
<05121>_.

19:19

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

Saul
<07586>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, David
<01732>

[is] at Naioth
<05121>

in Ramah
<07414>_.

19:20

And Saul
<07586>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to take
<03947> (8800)

David
<01732>_:

and when they saw
<07200> (8799)

the company
<03862>

of the prophets
<05030>

prophesying
<05012> (8737)_,

and Samuel
<08050>

standing
<05975> (8802)

[as] appointed
<05324> (8737)

over them, the Spirit
<07307>

of God
<0430>

was upon the messengers
<04397>

of Saul
<07586>_,

and they also prophesied
<05012> (8691)_.

19:21

And when it was told
<05046> (8686)

Saul
<07586>_,

he sent
<07971> (8799)

other
<0312>

messengers
<04397>_,

and they prophesied
<05012> (8691)

likewise. And Saul
<07586>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

again
<03254> (8686)

the third
<07992>

time, and they prophesied
<05012> (8691)

also.

19:22

Then went
<03212> (8799)

he also to Ramah
<07414>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to a great
<01419>

well
<0953>

that [is] in Sechu
<07906>_:

and he asked
<07592> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Where
<0375>

[are] Samuel
<08050>

and David
<01732>_?

And [one] said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, [they be] at Naioth
<05121>

in Ramah
<07414>_.

19:23

And he went
<03212> (8799)

thither to Naioth
<05121>

in Ramah
<07414>_:

and the Spirit
<07307>

of God
<0430>

was upon him also, and he went
<03212> (8799)

on
<01980> (8800)_,

and prophesied
<05012> (8691)_,

until he came
<0935> (8800)

to Naioth
<05121>

in Ramah
<07414>_.

19:24

And he stripped off
<06584> (8799)

his clothes
<0899>

also
<01571>_,

and prophesied
<05012> (8691)

before
<06440>

Samuel
<08050>

in like manner, and lay down
<05307> (8799)

naked
<06174>

all that day
<03117>

and all that night
<03915>_.

Wherefore they say
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] Saul
<07586>

also among the prophets
<05030>_?

{lay: Heb. fell}

1 Samuel 21:1--22:23

21:1

Then came
<0935> (8799)

David
<01732>

to Nob
<05011>

to Ahimelech
<0288>

the priest
<03548>_:

and Ahimelech
<0288>

was afraid
<02729> (8799)

at the meeting
<07125> (8800)

of David
<01732>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why [art] thou alone, and no man
<0376>

with thee? {Ahimelech: also called Ahiah}

21:2

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Ahimelech
<0288>

the priest
<03548>_,

The king
<04428>

hath commanded
<06680> (8765)

me a business
<01697>_,

and hath said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Let no man
<0376>

know
<03045> (8799)

any thing
<03972>

of the business
<01697>

whereabout I send
<07971> (8802)

thee, and what I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

thee: and I have appointed
<03045> (8776)

[my] servants
<05288>

to such
<06423>

and such
<0492>

a place
<04725>_.

21:3

Now therefore what is
<03426>

under thine hand
<03027>_?

give
<05414> (8798)

[me] five
<02568>

[loaves of] bread
<03899>

in mine hand
<03027>_,

or what there is present
<04672> (8737)_.

{present: Heb. found}

21:4

And the priest
<03548>

answered
<06030> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[There is] no common
<02455>

bread
<03899>

under mine hand
<03027>_,

but there is
<03426>

hallowed
<06944>

bread
<03899>_;

if the young men
<05288>

have kept
<08104> (8738)

themselves at least
<0389>

from women
<0802>_.

21:5

And David
<01732>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the priest
<03548>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Of a truth
<0518>

women
<0802>

[have been] kept
<06113> (8803)

from us about these three
<08032>

days
<08543>_,

since I came out
<03318> (8800)_,

and the vessels
<03627>

of the young men
<05288>

are holy
<06944>_,

and [the bread is] in a manner
<01870>

common
<02455>_,

yea, though it were sanctified
<06942> (8799)

this day
<03117>

in the vessel
<03627>_.

{yea...: or, especially when this day there is other sanctified in the vessel}

21:6

So the priest
<03548>

gave
<05414> (8799)

him hallowed
<06944>

[bread]: for there was no bread
<03899>

there but the shewbread
<03899> <06440>_,

that was taken
<05493> (8716)

from before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

to put
<07760> (8800)

hot
<02527>

bread
<03899>

in the day
<03117>

when it was taken away
<03947> (8736)_.

21:7

Now a certain man
<0376>

of the servants
<05650>

of Saul
<07586>

[was] there that day
<03117>_,

detained
<06113> (8737)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_;

and his name
<08034>

[was] Doeg
<01673>_,

an Edomite
<0130>_,

the chiefest
<047>

of the herdmen
<07462> (8802)

that [belonged] to Saul
<07586>_.

21:8

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Ahimelech
<0288>_,

And is there
<03426>

not
<0371>

here under thine hand
<03027>

spear
<02595>

or sword
<02719>_?

for I have neither brought
<03947> (8804)

my sword
<02719>

nor my weapons
<03627>

with me
<03027>_,

because the king's
<04428>

business
<01697>

required
<01961> (8804)

haste
<05169> (8803)_.

21:9

And the priest
<03548>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

The sword
<02719>

of Goliath
<01555>

the Philistine
<06430>_,

whom thou slewest
<05221> (8689)

in the valley
<06010>

of Elah
<0425>_,

behold, it [is here] wrapped
<03874> (8803)

in a cloth
<08071>

behind
<0310>

the ephod
<0646>_:

if thou wilt take
<03947> (8799)

that, take
<03947> (8798)

[it]: for [there is] no other
<0312>

save
<02108>

that here
<02088>_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[There is] none like that; give
<05414> (8798)

it me.

21:10

And David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and fled
<01272> (8799)

that day
<03117>

for fear
<06440>

of Saul
<07586>_,

and went
<0935> (8799)

to Achish
<0397>

the king
<04428>

of Gath
<01661>_.

21:11

And the servants
<05650>

of Achish
<0397>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Is] not this David
<01732>

the king
<04428>

of the land
<0776>_?

did they not sing
<06030> (8799)

one to another of him
<02088>

in dances
<04246>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Saul
<07586>

hath slain
<05221> (8689)

his thousands
<0505>_,

and David
<01732>

his ten thousands
<07233>_?

21:12

And David
<01732>

laid up
<07760> (8799)

these words
<01697>

in his heart
<03824>_,

and was sore
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8799)

of
<06440>

Achish
<0397>

the king
<04428>

of Gath
<01661>_.

21:13

And he changed
<08138> (8762)

his behaviour
<02940>

before
<05869>

them, and feigned himself mad
<01984> (8704)

in their hands
<03027>_,

and scrabbled
<08427> (8762)

on the doors
<01817>

of the gate
<08179>_,

and let his spittle
<07388>

fall down
<03381> (8686)

upon his beard
<02206>_.

{scrabbled: or, made marks}

21:14

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Achish
<0397>

unto his servants
<05650>_,

Lo, ye see
<07200> (8799)

the man
<0376>

is mad
<07696> (8693)_:

wherefore [then] have ye brought
<0935> (8686)

him to me? {is mad: or, playeth the mad man}

21:15

Have I need
<02638>

of mad men
<07696> (8794)_,

that ye have brought
<0935> (8689)

this [fellow] to play the mad man
<07696> (8692)

in my presence? shall this [fellow] come
<0935> (8799)

into my house
<01004>_?

22:1

David
<01732>

therefore departed
<03212> (8799)

thence, and escaped
<04422> (8735)

to the cave
<04631>

Adullam
<05725>_:

and when his brethren
<0251>

and all his father's
<01>

house
<01004>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[it], they went down
<03381> (8799)

thither to him.

22:2

And every one
<0376>

[that was] in distress
<04689>_,

and every one
<0376>

that [was] in debt
<05378> (8801)_,

and every one
<0376>

[that was] discontented
<04751> <05315>_,

gathered
<06908> (8691)

themselves unto him; and he became a captain
<08269>

over them: and there were with him about four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_.

{was in debt: Heb. had a creditor} {discontented: Heb. bitter of soul}

22:3

And David
<01732>

went
<03212> (8799)

thence to Mizpeh
<04708>

of Moab
<04124>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>_,

Let my father
<01>

and my mother
<0517>_,

I pray thee, come forth
<03318> (8799)_,

[and be] with you, till I know
<03045> (8799)

what God
<0430>

will do
<06213> (8799)

for me.

22:4

And he brought
<05148> (8686)

them before
<06440>

the king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>_:

and they dwelt
<03427> (8799)

with him all the while
<03117>

that David
<01732>

was in the hold
<04686>_.

22:5

And the prophet
<05030>

Gad
<01410>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

Abide
<03427> (8799)

not in the hold
<04686>_;

depart
<03212> (8798)_,

and get
<0935> (8804)

thee into the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>_.

Then David
<01732>

departed
<03212> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

into the forest
<03293>

of Hareth
<02802>_.

22:6

When Saul
<07586>

heard
<08085> (8799)

that David
<01732>

was discovered
<03045> (8738)_,

and the men
<0582>

that [were] with him, (now Saul
<07586>

abode
<03427> (8802)

in Gibeah
<01390>

under a tree
<0815>

in Ramah
<07414>_,

having his spear
<02595>

in his hand
<03027>_,

and all his servants
<05650>

[were] standing
<05324> (8737)

about him;) {tree...: or, grove in a high place}

22:7

Then Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his servants
<05650>

that stood
<05324> (8737)

about him, Hear now
<08085> (8798)_,

ye Benjamites
<01145>_;

will the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>

give
<05414> (8799)

every one of you fields
<07704>

and vineyards
<03754>_,

[and] make
<07760> (8799)

you all captains
<08269>

of thousands
<0505>_,

and captains
<08269>

of hundreds
<03967>_;

22:8

That all of you have conspired
<07194> (8804)

against me, and [there is] none that sheweth
<01540> (8802) <0241>

me that my son
<01121>

hath made a league
<03772> (8800)

with the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>_,

and [there is] none of you that is sorry
<02470> (8802)

for me, or sheweth
<01540> (8802) <0241>

unto me that my son
<01121>

hath stirred up
<06965> (8689)

my servant
<05650>

against me, to lie in wait
<0693> (8802)_,

as at this day
<03117>_?

{sheweth...: Heb. uncovereth mine ear}

22:9

Then answered
<06030> (8799)

Doeg
<01673>

the Edomite
<0130>_,

which was set
<05324> (8737)

over the servants
<05650>

of Saul
<07586>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I saw
<07200> (8804)

the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>

coming
<0935> (8802)

to Nob
<05011>_,

to Ahimelech
<0288>

the son
<01121>

of Ahitub
<0285>_.

22:10

And he enquired
<07592> (8799)

of the LORD
<03068>

for him, and gave
<05414> (8804)

him victuals
<06720>_,

and gave
<05414> (8804)

him the sword
<02719>

of Goliath
<01555>

the Philistine
<06430>_.

22:11

Then the king
<04428>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to call
<07121> (8800)

Ahimelech
<0288>

the priest
<03548>_,

the son
<01121>

of Ahitub
<0285>_,

and all his father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

the priests
<03548>

that [were] in Nob
<05011>_:

and they came
<0935> (8799)

all of them to the king
<04428>_.

22:12

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

now, thou son
<01121>

of Ahitub
<0285>_.

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Here I [am], my lord
<0113>_.

{Here...: Heb. Behold me}

22:13

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why have ye conspired
<07194> (8804)

against me, thou and the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>_,

in that thou hast given
<05414> (8800)

him bread
<03899>_,

and a sword
<02719>_,

and hast enquired
<07592> (8800)

of God
<0430>

for him, that he should rise
<06965> (8800)

against me, to lie in wait
<0693> (8802)_,

as at this day
<03117>_?

22:14

Then Ahimelech
<0288>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the king
<04428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

And who [is so] faithful
<0539> (8737)

among all thy servants
<05650>

as David
<01732>_,

which is the king's
<04428>

son in law
<02860>_,

and goeth
<05493> (8804)

at thy bidding
<04928>_,

and is honourable
<03513> (8737)

in thine house
<01004>_?

22:15

Did I then
<03117>

begin
<02490> (8689)

to enquire
<07592> (8800)

of God
<0430>

for him? be it far from me
<02486>_:

let not the king
<04428>

impute
<07760> (8799)

[any] thing
<01697>

unto his servant
<05650>_,

[nor] to all the house
<01004>

of my father
<01>_:

for thy servant
<05650>

knew
<03045> (8804)

nothing
<01697>

of all this, less
<06996>

or more
<01419>_.

{less...: Heb. little or great}

22:16

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_,

Ahimelech
<0288>_,

thou, and all thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>_.

22:17

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the footmen
<07323> (8801)

that stood
<05324> (8737)

about him, Turn
<05437> (8798)_,

and slay
<04191> (8685)

the priests
<03548>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

because their hand
<03027>

also [is] with David
<01732>_,

and because they knew
<03045> (8804)

when he fled
<01272> (8802)_,

and did not shew
<01540> (8804) <0241>

it to me. But the servants
<05650>

of the king
<04428>

would
<014> (8804)

not put forth
<07971> (8800)

their hand
<03027>

to fall
<06293> (8800)

upon the priests
<03548>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{footmen: or, guard: Heb. runners}

22:18

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Doeg
<01673>_,

Turn
<05437> (8798)

thou, and fall
<06293> (8798)

upon the priests
<03548>_.

And Doeg
<01673>

the Edomite
<0130>

turned
<05437> (8735)_,

and he fell
<06293> (8799)

upon the priests
<03548>_,

and slew
<04191> (8686)

on that day
<03117>

fourscore
<08084>

and five
<02568>

persons
<0376>

that did wear
<05375> (8802)

a linen
<0906>

ephod
<0646>_.

22:19

And Nob
<05011>_,

the city
<05892>

of the priests
<03548>_,

smote
<05221> (8689)

he with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_,

both men
<0376>

and women
<0802>_,

children
<05768>

and sucklings
<03243> (8802)_,

and oxen
<07794>_,

and asses
<02543>_,

and sheep
<07716>_,

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_.

22:20

And one
<0259>

of the sons
<01121>

of Ahimelech
<0288>

the son
<01121>

of Ahitub
<0285>_,

named
<08034>

Abiathar
<054>_,

escaped
<04422> (8735)_,

and fled
<01272> (8799)

after
<0310>

David
<01732>_.

22:21

And Abiathar
<054>

shewed
<05046> (8686)

David
<01732>

that Saul
<07586>

had slain
<02026> (8804)

the LORD'S
<03068>

priests
<03548>_.

22:22

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abiathar
<054>_,

I knew
<03045> (8804)

[it] that day
<03117>_,

when Doeg
<01673>

the Edomite
<0130>

[was] there, that he would surely
<05046> (8687)

tell
<05046> (8686)

Saul
<07586>_:

I have occasioned
<05437> (8804)

[the death] of all the persons
<05315>

of thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>_.

22:23

Abide
<03427> (8798)

thou with me, fear
<03372> (8799)

not: for he that seeketh
<01245> (8762)

my life
<05315>

seeketh
<01245> (8762)

thy life
<05315>_:

but with me thou [shalt be] in safeguard
<04931>_.
