1 Samuel 16:1

16:1

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samuel
<08050>_,

How long wilt thou mourn
<056> (8693)

for Saul
<07586>_,

seeing I have rejected
<03988> (8804)

him from reigning
<04427> (8800)

over Israel
<03478>_?

fill
<04390> (8761)

thine horn
<07161>

with oil
<08081>_,

and go
<03212> (8798)_,

I will send
<07971> (8799)

thee to Jesse
<03448>

the Bethlehemite
<01022>_:

for I have provided
<07200> (8804)

me a king
<04428>

among his sons
<01121>_.

1 Samuel 16:13

16:13

Then Samuel
<08050>

took
<03947> (8799)

the horn
<07161>

of oil
<08081>_,

and anointed
<04886> (8799)

him in the midst
<07130>

of his brethren
<0251>_:

and the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

came
<06743> (8799)

upon David
<01732>

from that day
<03117>

forward
<04605>_.

So Samuel
<08050>

rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Ramah
<07414>_.

1 Samuel 17:1--18:30

17:1

Now the Philistines
<06430>

gathered together
<0622> (8799)

their armies
<04264>

to battle
<04421>_,

and were gathered together
<0622> (8735)

at Shochoh
<07755>_,

which [belongeth] to Judah
<03063>_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

between Shochoh
<07755>

and Azekah
<05825>_,

in Ephesdammim
<0658>_.

{Ephesdammim: or, the coast of Dammim, called Pasdammim}

17:2

And Saul
<07586>

and the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

were gathered together
<0622> (8738)_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

by the valley
<06010>

of Elah
<0425>_,

and set the battle
<04421>

in array
<06186> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

the Philistines
<06430>_.

{set...: Heb. ranged the battle}

17:3

And the Philistines
<06430>

stood
<05975> (8802)

on a mountain
<02022>

on the one side, and Israel
<03478>

stood
<05975> (8802)

on a mountain
<02022>

on the other side: and [there was] a valley
<01516>

between them.

17:4

And there went out
<03318> (8799)

a champion
<0376> <01143>

out of the camp
<04264>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

named
<08034>

Goliath
<01555>_,

of Gath
<01661>_,

whose height
<01363>

[was] six
<08337>

cubits
<0520>

and a span
<02239>_.

17:5

And [he had] an helmet
<03553>

of brass
<05178>

upon his head
<07218>_,

and he [was] armed
<03847> (8803)

with a coat
<08302>

of mail
<07193>_;

and the weight
<04948>

of the coat
<08302>

[was] five
<02568>

thousand
<0505>

shekels
<08255>

of brass
<05178>_.

{armed: Heb. clothed}

17:6

And [he had] greaves
<04697>

of brass
<05178>

upon his legs
<07272>_,

and a target
<03591>

of brass
<05178>

between his shoulders
<03802>_.

{target: or, gorget}

17:7

And the staff
<06086> (8675) <02671>

of his spear
<02595>

[was] like a weaver's
<0707> (8802)

beam
<04500>_;

and his spear's
<02595>

head
<03852>

[weighed] six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

shekels
<08255>

of iron
<01270>_:

and one bearing
<05375> (8802)

a shield
<06793>

went
<01980> (8802)

before
<06440>

him.

17:8

And he stood
<05975> (8799)

and cried
<07121> (8799)

unto the armies
<04634>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Why are ye come out
<03318> (8799)

to set [your] battle
<04421>

in array
<06186> (8800)_?

[am] not I a Philistine
<06430>_,

and ye servants
<05650>

to Saul
<07586>_?

choose
<01262> (8798)

you a man
<0376>

for you, and let him come down
<03381> (8799)

to me.

17:9

If he be able
<03201> (8799)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

with me, and to kill
<05221> (8689)

me, then will we be your servants
<05650>_:

but if I prevail
<03201> (8799)

against him, and kill
<05221> (8689)

him, then shall ye be our servants
<05650>_,

and serve
<05647> (8804)

us.

17:10

And the Philistine
<06430>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I defy
<02778> (8765)

the armies
<04634>

of Israel
<03478>

this day
<03117>_;

give
<05414> (8798)

me a man
<0376>_,

that we may fight
<03898> (8735)

together
<03162>_.

17:11

When Saul
<07586>

and all Israel
<03478>

heard
<08085> (8799)

those words
<01697>

of the Philistine
<06430>_,

they were dismayed
<02865> (8735)_,

and greatly
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8799)_.

17:12

Now David
<01732>

[was] the son
<01121>

of that Ephrathite
<0376> <0673>

of Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Jesse
<03448>_;

and he had eight
<08083>

sons
<01121>_:

and the man
<0376>

went
<0935> (8804)

among men
<0582>

[for] an old man
<02204> (8804)

in the days
<03117>

of Saul
<07586>_.

17:13

And the three
<07969>

eldest
<01419>

sons
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>

went
<03212> (8799)

[and] followed
<0310>

Saul
<07586>

to the battle
<04421>_:

and the names
<08034>

of his three
<07969>

sons
<01121>

that went
<01980> (8804)

to the battle
<04421>

[were] Eliab
<0446>

the firstborn
<01060>_,

and next
<04932>

unto him Abinadab
<041>_,

and the third
<07992>

Shammah
<08048>_.

17:14

And David
<01732>

[was] the youngest
<06996>_:

and the three
<07969>

eldest
<01419>

followed
<01980> (8804) <0310>

Saul
<07586>_.

17:15

But David
<01732>

went
<01980> (8802)

and returned
<07725> (8802)

from Saul
<07586>

to feed
<07462> (8800)

his father's
<01>

sheep
<06629>

at Bethlehem
<01035>_.

17:16

And the Philistine
<06430>

drew near
<05066> (8799)

morning
<07925> (8687)

and evening
<06150> (8687)_,

and presented
<03320> (8691)

himself forty
<0705>

days
<03117>_.

17:17

And Jesse
<03448>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>

his son
<01121>_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

now for thy brethren
<0251>

an ephah
<0374>

of this
<02088>

parched
<07039>

[corn], and these ten
<06235>

loaves
<03899>_,

and run
<07323> (8685)

to the camp
<04264>

to thy brethren
<0251>_;

17:18

And carry
<0935> (8686)

these ten
<06235>

cheeses
<02461> <02757>

unto the captain
<08269>

of [their] thousand
<0505>_,

and look
<06485> (8799)

how thy brethren
<0251>

fare
<07965>_,

and take
<03947> (8799)

their pledge
<06161>_.

{cheeses: Heb. cheeses of milk} {of...: Heb. of a thousand}

17:19

Now Saul
<07586>_,

and they, and all the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[were] in the valley
<06010>

of Elah
<0425>_,

fighting
<03898> (8737)

with the Philistines
<06430>_.

17:20

And David
<01732>

rose up early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and left
<05203> (8799)

the sheep
<06629>

with a keeper
<08104> (8802)_,

and took
<05375> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)_,

as Jesse
<03448>

had commanded
<06680> (8765)

him; and he came
<0935> (8799)

to the trench
<04570>_,

as the host
<02428>

was going forth
<03318> (8802)

to the fight
<04634>_,

and shouted
<07321> (8689)

for the battle
<04421>_.

{trench: or, place of the carriage} {fight: or, battle array, or, place of fight}

17:21

For Israel
<03478>

and the Philistines
<06430>

had put the battle in array
<06186> (8799)_,

army
<04634>

against
<07125> (8800)

army
<04634>_.

17:22

And David
<01732>

left
<05203> (8799)

his carriage
<03627>

in the hand
<03027>

of the keeper
<08104> (8802)

of the carriage
<03627>_,

and ran
<07323> (8799)

into the army
<04634>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and saluted
<07592> (8799) <07965>

his brethren
<0251>_.

{his carriage: Heb. the vessels from upon him} {saluted...: Heb. asked his brethren of peace}

17:23

And as he talked
<01696> (8764)

with them, behold, there came up
<05927> (8802)

the champion
<0376> <01143>_,

the Philistine
<06430>

of Gath
<01661>_,

Goliath
<01555>

by name
<08034>_,

out of the armies
<04634> (8675) <04630>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

and spake
<01696> (8762)

according to the same
<0428>

words
<01697>_:

and David
<01732>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[them].

17:24

And all the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>_,

when they saw
<07200> (8800)

the man
<0376>_,

fled
<05127> (8799)

from him
<06440>_,

and were sore
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8799)_.

{from...: Heb. from his face}

17:25

And the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Have ye seen
<07200> (8804)

this man
<0376>

that is come up
<05927> (8802)_?

surely to defy
<02778> (8763)

Israel
<03478>

is he come up
<05927> (8802)_:

and it shall be, [that] the man
<0376>

who killeth
<05221> (8686)

him, the king
<04428>

will enrich
<06238> (8686)

him with great
<01419>

riches
<06239>_,

and will give
<05414> (8799)

him his daughter
<01323>_,

and make
<06213> (8799)

his father's
<01>

house
<01004>

free
<02670>

in Israel
<03478>_.

17:26

And David
<01732>

spake
<0559> (8799)

to the men
<0582>

that stood
<05975> (8802)

by him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What shall be done
<06213> (8735)

to the man
<0376>

that killeth
<05221> (8686)

this
<01975>

Philistine
<06430>_,

and taketh away
<05493> (8689)

the reproach
<02781>

from Israel
<03478>_?

for who [is] this uncircumcised
<06189>

Philistine
<06430>_,

that he should defy
<02778> (8765)

the armies
<04634>

of the living
<02416>

God
<0430>_?

17:27

And the people
<05971>

answered
<0559> (8799)

him after this manner
<01697>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

So shall it be done
<06213> (8735)

to the man
<0376>

that killeth
<05221> (8686)

him.

17:28

And Eliab
<0446>

his eldest
<01419>

brother
<0251>

heard
<08085> (8799)

when he spake
<01696> (8763)

unto the men
<0582>_;

and Eliab's
<0446>

anger
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

against David
<01732>_,

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Why camest thou down
<03381> (8804)

hither? and with whom hast thou left
<05203> (8804)

those
<02007>

few
<04592>

sheep
<06629>

in the wilderness
<04057>_?

I know
<03045> (8804)

thy pride
<02087>_,

and the naughtiness
<07455>

of thine heart
<03824>_;

for thou art come down
<03381> (8804)

that thou mightest see
<07200> (8800)

the battle
<04421>_.

17:29

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

What have I now done
<06213> (8804)_?

[Is there] not a cause
<01697>_?

17:30

And he turned
<05437> (8735)

from him
<0681>

toward
<04136>

another
<0312>_,

and spake
<0559> (8799)

after the same manner
<01697>_:

and the people
<05971>

answered
<01697>

him again
<07725> (8686)

after the former
<07223>

manner
<01697>_.

{manner: Heb. word}

17:31

And when the words
<01697>

were heard
<08085> (8735)

which David
<01732>

spake
<01696> (8765)_,

they rehearsed
<05046> (8686)

[them] before
<06440>

Saul
<07586>_:

and he sent
<03947> (8799)

for him. {sent...: Heb. took him}

17:32

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Saul
<07586>_,

Let no man's
<0120>

heart
<03820>

fail
<05307> (8799)

because of him; thy servant
<05650>

will go
<03212> (8799)

and fight
<03898> (8738)

with this Philistine
<06430>_.

17:33

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

Thou art not able
<03201> (8799)

to go
<03212> (8800)

against this Philistine
<06430>

to fight
<03898> (8736)

with him: for thou [art but] a youth
<05288>_,

and he a man
<0376>

of war
<04421>

from his youth
<05271>_.

17:34

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

Thy servant
<05650>

kept
<07462> (8802)

his father's
<01>

sheep
<06629>_,

and there came
<0935> (8804)

a lion
<0738>_,

and a bear
<01677>_,

and took
<05375> (8804)

a lamb
<07716> (8675) <02089>

out of the flock
<05739>_:

{lamb: or, kid}

17:35

And I went out
<03318> (8804)

after
<0310>

him, and smote
<05221> (8689)

him, and delivered
<05337> (8689)

[it] out of his mouth
<06310>_:

and when he arose
<06965> (8799)

against me, I caught
<02388> (8689)

[him] by his beard
<02206>_,

and smote
<05221> (8689)

him, and slew
<04191> (8689)

him.

17:36

Thy servant
<05650>

slew
<05221> (8689)

both the lion
<0738>

and the bear
<01677>_:

and this uncircumcised
<06189>

Philistine
<06430>

shall be as one
<0259>

of them, seeing he hath defied
<02778> (8765)

the armies
<04634>

of the living
<02416>

God
<0430>_.

17:37

David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

moreover, The LORD
<03068>

that delivered
<05337> (8689)

me out of the paw
<03027>

of the lion
<0738>_,

and out of the paw
<03027>

of the bear
<01677>_,

he will deliver
<05337> (8686)

me out of the hand
<03027>

of this Philistine
<06430>_.

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

and the LORD
<03068>

be with thee.

17:38

And Saul
<07586>

armed
<03847> (8686)

David
<01732>

with his armour
<04055>_,

and he put
<05414> (8804)

an helmet
<06959>

of brass
<05178>

upon his head
<07218>_;

also he armed
<03847> (8686)

him with a coat of mail
<08302>_.

{armed David...: Heb. clothed David with his clothes}

17:39

And David
<01732>

girded
<02296> (8799)

his sword
<02719>

upon his armour
<04055>_,

and he assayed
<02974> (8686)

to go
<03212> (8800)_;

for he had not proved
<05254> (8765)

[it]. And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

I cannot
<03201> (8799)

go
<03212> (8800)

with these; for I have not proved
<05254> (8765)

[them]. And David
<01732>

put
<05493> (8686)

them off him.

17:40

And he took
<03947> (8799)

his staff
<04731>

in his hand
<03027>_,

and chose
<0977> (8799)

him five
<02568>

smooth
<02512>

stones
<068>

out of the brook
<05158>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

them in a shepherd's
<07462> (8802)

bag
<03627>

which he had, even in a scrip
<03219>_;

and his sling
<07050>

[was] in his hand
<03027>_:

and he drew near
<05066> (8799)

to the Philistine
<06430>_.

{brook: or, valley} {bag: Heb. vessel}

17:41

And the Philistine
<06430>

came
<03212> (8799)

on
<01980> (8802)

and drew near
<07131>

unto David
<01732>_;

and the man
<0376>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

the shield
<06793>

[went] before
<06440>

him.

17:42

And when the Philistine
<06430>

looked about
<05027> (8686)_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

he disdained
<0959> (8799)

him: for he was [but] a youth
<05288>_,

and ruddy
<0132>_,

and of a fair
<03303>

countenance
<04758>_.

17:43

And the Philistine
<06430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

[Am] I a dog
<03611>_,

that thou comest
<0935> (8802)

to me with staves
<04731>_?

And the Philistine
<06430>

cursed
<07043> (8762)

David
<01732>

by his gods
<0430>_.

17:44

And the Philistine
<06430>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)

to me, and I will give
<05414> (8799)

thy flesh
<01320>

unto the fowls
<05775>

of the air
<08064>_,

and to the beasts
<0929>

of the field
<07704>_.

17:45

Then said
<0559> (8799)

David
<01732>

to the Philistine
<06430>_,

Thou comest
<0935> (8802)

to me with a sword
<02719>_,

and with a spear
<02595>_,

and with a shield
<03591>_:

but I come
<0935> (8802)

to thee in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of the armies
<04634>

of Israel
<03478>_,

whom thou hast defied
<02778> (8765)_.

17:46

This day
<03117>

will the LORD
<03068>

deliver
<05462> (8762)

thee into mine hand
<03027>_;

and I will smite
<05221> (8689)

thee, and take
<05493> (8689)

thine head
<07218>

from thee; and I will give
<05414> (8804)

the carcases
<06297>

of the host
<04264>

of the Philistines
<06430>

this day
<03117>

unto the fowls
<05775>

of the air
<08064>_,

and to the wild beasts
<02416>

of the earth
<0776>_;

that all the earth
<0776>

may know
<03045> (8799)

that there is
<03426>

a God
<0430>

in Israel
<03478>_.

{deliver...: Heb. shut thee up}

17:47

And all this assembly
<06951>

shall know
<03045> (8799)

that the LORD
<03068>

saveth
<03467> (8686)

not with sword
<02719>

and spear
<02595>_:

for the battle
<04421>

[is] the LORD'S
<03068>_,

and he will give
<05414> (8804)

you into our hands
<03027>_.

17:48

And it came to pass, when the Philistine
<06430>

arose
<06965> (8804)_,

and came
<03212> (8799)

and drew nigh
<07126> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

David
<01732>_,

that David
<01732>

hasted
<04116> (8762)_,

and ran
<07323> (8799)

toward the army
<04634>

to meet
<07125> (8800)

the Philistine
<06430>_.

17:49

And David
<01732>

put
<07971> (8799)

his hand
<03027>

in his bag
<03627>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

thence a stone
<068>_,

and slang
<07049> (8762)

[it], and smote
<05221> (8686)

the Philistine
<06430>

in his forehead
<04696>_,

that the stone
<068>

sunk
<02883> (8799)

into his forehead
<04696>_;

and he fell
<05307> (8799)

upon his face
<06440>

to the earth
<0776>_.

17:50

So David
<01732>

prevailed
<02388> (8799)

over
<04480>

the Philistine
<06430>

with a sling
<07050>

and with a stone
<068>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

the Philistine
<06430>_,

and slew
<04191> (8686)

him; but [there was] no sword
<02719>

in the hand
<03027>

of David
<01732>_.

17:51

Therefore David
<01732>

ran
<07323> (8799)_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

upon the Philistine
<06430>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

his sword
<02719>_,

and drew
<08025> (8799)

it out of the sheath
<08593>

thereof, and slew
<04191> (8787)

him, and cut off
<03772> (8799)

his head
<07218>

therewith. And when the Philistines
<06430>

saw
<07200> (8799)

their champion
<01368>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_,

they fled
<05127> (8799)_.

17:52

And the men
<0582>

of Israel
<03478>

and of Judah
<03063>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and shouted
<07321> (8686)_,

and pursued
<07291> (8799)

the Philistines
<06430>_,

until thou come
<0935> (8800)

to the valley
<01516>_,

and to the gates
<08179>

of Ekron
<06138>_.

And the wounded
<02491>

of the Philistines
<06430>

fell down
<05307> (8799)

by the way
<01870>

to Shaaraim
<08189>_,

even unto Gath
<01661>_,

and unto Ekron
<06138>_.

17:53

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

returned
<07725> (8799)

from chasing
<01814> (8800)

after
<0310>

the Philistines
<06430>_,

and they spoiled
<08155> (8799)

their tents
<04264>_.

17:54

And David
<01732>

took
<03947> (8799)

the head
<07218>

of the Philistine
<06430>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

it to Jerusalem
<03389>_;

but he put
<07760> (8804)

his armour
<03627>

in his tent
<0168>_.

17:55

And when Saul
<07586>

saw
<07200> (8800)

David
<01732>

go forth
<03318> (8802)

against
<07125> (8800)

the Philistine
<06430>_,

he said
<0559> (8804)

unto Abner
<074>_,

the captain
<08269>

of the host
<06635>_,

Abner
<074>_,

whose son
<01121>

[is] this youth
<05288>_?

And Abner
<074>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[As] thy soul
<05315>

liveth
<02416>_,

O king
<04428>_,

I cannot
<0518>

tell
<03045> (8804)_.

17:56

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Enquire
<07592> (8798)

thou whose son
<01121>

the stripling
<05958>

[is].

17:57

And as David
<01732>

returned
<07725> (8800)

from the slaughter
<05221> (8687)

of the Philistine
<06430>_,

Abner
<074>

took
<03947> (8799)

him, and brought
<0935> (8686)

him before
<06440>

Saul
<07586>

with the head
<07218>

of the Philistine
<06430>

in his hand
<03027>_.

17:58

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

to him, Whose son
<01121>

[art] thou, [thou] young man
<05288>_?

And David
<01732>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] the son
<01121>

of thy servant
<05650>

Jesse
<03448>

the Bethlehemite
<01022>_.

18:1

And it came to pass, when he had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of speaking
<01696> (8763)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

that the soul
<05315>

of Jonathan
<03083>

was knit
<07194> (8738)

with the soul
<05315>

of David
<01732>_,

and Jonathan
<03083>

loved
<0157> (8799)

him as his own soul
<05315>_.

18:2

And Saul
<07586>

took
<03947> (8799)

him that day
<03117>_,

and would let
<05414> (8804)

him go no more home
<07725> (8800)

to his father's
<01>

house
<01004>_.

18:3

Then Jonathan
<03083>

and David
<01732>

made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>_,

because he loved
<0160>

him as his own soul
<05315>_.

18:4

And Jonathan
<03083>

stripped
<06584> (8691)

himself of the robe
<04598>

that [was] upon him, and gave
<05414> (8799)

it to David
<01732>_,

and his garments
<04055>_,

even to his sword
<02719>_,

and to his bow
<07198>_,

and to his girdle
<02289>_.

18:5

And David
<01732>

went out
<03318> (8799)

whithersoever Saul
<07586>

sent
<07971> (8799)

him, [and] behaved himself wisely
<07919> (8686)_:

and Saul
<07586>

set
<07760> (8799)

him over the men
<0582>

of war
<04421>_,

and he was accepted
<03190> (8799)

in the sight
<05869>

of all the people
<05971>_,

and also in the sight
<05869>

of Saul's
<07586>

servants
<05650>_.

{behaved...: or, prospered}

18:6

And it came to pass as they came
<0935> (8800)_,

when David
<01732>

was returned
<07725> (8800)

from the slaughter
<05221> (8687)

of the Philistine
<06430>_,

that the women
<0802>

came out
<03318> (8799)

of all cities
<05892>

of Israel
<03478>_,

singing
<07891> (8800)

and dancing
<04246>_,

to meet
<07125> (8800)

king
<04428>

Saul
<07586>_,

with tabrets
<08596>_,

with joy
<08057>_,

and with instruments
<07991>

of musick. {Philistine: or, Philistines} {instruments...: Heb. three stringed instruments}

18:7

And the women
<0802>

answered
<06030> (8799)

[one another] as they played
<07832> (8764)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Saul
<07586>

hath slain
<05221> (8689)

his thousands
<0505>_,

and David
<01732>

his ten thousands
<07233>_.

18:8

And Saul
<07586>

was very
<03966>

wroth
<02734> (8799)_,

and the saying
<01697>

displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>

him; and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

They have ascribed
<05414> (8804)

unto David
<01732>

ten thousands
<07233>_,

and to me they have ascribed
<05414> (8804)

[but] thousands
<0505>_:

and [what] can he have more but the kingdom
<04410>_?

{displeased him: Heb. was evil in his eyes}

18:9

And Saul
<07586>

eyed
<05770> (8802)

David
<01732>

from that day
<03117>

and forward
<01973>_.

18:10

And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,

that the evil
<07451>

spirit
<07307>

from God
<0430>

came
<06743> (8799)

upon Saul
<07586>_,

and he prophesied
<05012> (8691)

in the midst
<08432>

of the house
<01004>_:

and David
<01732>

played
<05059> (8764)

with his hand
<03027>_,

as at other times
<03117>_:

and [there was] a javelin
<02595>

in Saul's
<07586>

hand
<03027>_.

18:11

And Saul
<07586>

cast
<02904> (8686)

the javelin
<02595>_;

for he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will smite
<05221> (8686)

David
<01732>

even to the wall
<07023>

[with it]. And David
<01732>

avoided out
<05437> (8735)

of his presence
<06440>

twice
<06471>_.

18:12

And Saul
<07586>

was afraid
<03372> (8799)

of
<06440>

David
<01732>_,

because the LORD
<03068>

was with him, and was departed
<05493> (8804)

from Saul
<07586>_.

18:13

Therefore Saul
<07586>

removed
<05493> (8686)

him from him, and made
<07760> (8799)

him his captain
<08269>

over a thousand
<0505>_;

and he went out
<03318> (8799)

and came in
<0935> (8799)

before
<06440>

the people
<05971>_.

18:14

And David
<01732>

behaved himself wisely
<07919> (8688)

in all his ways
<01870>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

[was] with him. {behaved...: or, prospered}

18:15

Wherefore when Saul
<07586>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that he behaved
<07919> (0)

himself very
<03966>

wisely
<07919> (8688)_,

he was afraid
<01481> (8799)

of
<06440>

him.

18:16

But all Israel
<03478>

and Judah
<03063>

loved
<0157> (8802)

David
<01732>_,

because he went out
<03318> (8802)

and came in
<0935> (8802)

before
<06440>

them.

18:17

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

Behold my elder
<01419>

daughter
<01323>

Merab
<04764>_,

her will I give
<05414> (8799)

thee to wife
<0802>_:

only be thou valiant
<01121> <02428>

for me, and fight
<03898> (8734)

the LORD'S
<03068>

battles
<04421>_.

For Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

Let not mine hand
<03027>

be upon him, but let the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>

be upon him. {valiant: Heb. a son of valour}

18:18

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

Who [am] I? and what [is] my life
<02416>_,

[or] my father's
<01>

family
<04940>

in Israel
<03478>_,

that I should be son in law
<02860>

to the king
<04428>_?

18:19

But it came to pass at the time
<06256>

when Merab
<04764>

Saul's
<07586>

daughter
<01323>

should have been given
<05414> (8800)

to David
<01732>_,

that she was given
<05414> (8738)

unto Adriel
<05741>

the Meholathite
<04259>

to wife
<0802>_.

18:20

And Michal
<04324>

Saul's
<07586>

daughter
<01323>

loved
<0157> (8799)

David
<01732>_:

and they told
<05046> (8686)

Saul
<07586>_,

and the thing
<01697>

pleased
<03474> (8799) <05869>

him. {pleased him: Heb. was right in his eyes}

18:21

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will give
<05414> (8799)

him her, that she may be a snare
<04170>

to him, and that the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>

may be against him. Wherefore Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

Thou shalt this day
<03117>

be my son in law
<02859> (8691)

in [the one of] the twain
<08147>_.

18:22

And Saul
<07586>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

his servants
<05650>_,

[saying], Commune
<01696> (8761)

with David
<01732>

secretly
<03909>_,

and say
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, the king
<04428>

hath delight
<02654> (8804)

in thee, and all his servants
<05650>

love
<0157> (8804)

thee: now therefore be the king's
<04428>

son in law
<02859> (8690)_.

18:23

And Saul's
<07586>

servants
<05650>

spake
<01696> (8762)

those words
<01697>

in the ears
<0241>

of David
<01732>_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Seemeth
<05869>

it to you [a] light
<07043> (8738)

[thing] to be a king's
<04428>

son in law
<02859> (8692)_,

seeing that I [am] a poor
<07326> (8802)

man
<0376>_,

and lightly esteemed
<07034> (8737)_?

18:24

And the servants
<05650>

of Saul
<07586>

told
<05046> (8686)

him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

On this manner
<01697>

spake
<01696> (8765)

David
<01732>_.

{On...: Heb. According to these words}

18:25

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thus shall ye say
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

The king
<04428>

desireth
<02656>

not any dowry
<04119>_,

but an hundred
<03967>

foreskins
<06190>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

to be avenged
<05358> (8736)

of the king's
<04428>

enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

But Saul
<07586>

thought
<02803> (8804)

to make David
<01732>

fall
<05307> (8687)

by the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

18:26

And when his servants
<05650>

told
<05046> (8686)

David
<01732>

these words
<01697>_,

it pleased
<03474> (8799) <01697> <05869>

David
<01732>

well to be the king's
<04428>

son in law
<02859> (8692)_:

and the days
<03117>

were not expired
<04390> (8804)_.

{expired: Heb. fulfilled}

18:27

Wherefore David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8799)

and went
<03212> (8799)_,

he and his men
<0582>_,

and slew
<05221> (8686)

of the Philistines
<06430>

two hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_;

and David
<01732>

brought
<0935> (8686)

their foreskins
<06190>_,

and they gave them in full tale
<04390> (8762)

to the king
<04428>_,

that he might be the king's
<04428>

son in law
<02859> (8692)_.

And Saul
<07586>

gave
<05414> (8799)

him Michal
<04324>

his daughter
<01323>

to wife
<0802>_.

18:28

And Saul
<07586>

saw
<07200> (8799)

and knew
<03045> (8799)

that the LORD
<03068>

[was] with David
<01732>_,

and [that] Michal
<04324>

Saul's
<07586>

daughter
<01323>

loved
<0157> (8804)

him.

18:29

And Saul
<07586>

was yet the more
<03254> (8686)

afraid
<03372> (8800)

of
<06440>

David
<01732>_;

and Saul
<07586>

became David's
<01732>

enemy
<0341> (8802)

continually
<03117>_.

18:30

Then the princes
<08269>

of the Philistines
<06430>

went forth
<03318> (8799)_:

and it came to pass, after
<01767>

they went forth
<03318> (8800)_,

[that] David
<01732>

behaved himself more wisely
<07919> (8804)

than all the servants
<05650>

of Saul
<07586>_;

so that his name
<08034>

was much
<03966>

set by
<03365> (8799)_.

{set by: Heb. precious}

Acts 2:29-31

2:29

Men
<435>

[and] brethren
<80>_,

let
<2036> (0)

me
<1832> (5752)

freely
<3326> <3954>

speak
<2036> (5629)

unto
<4314>

you
<5209>

of
<4012>

the patriarch
<3966>

David
<1138>_,

that
<3754>

he is
<5053> (0)

both
<2532>

dead
<5053> (5656)

and
<2532>

buried
<2290> (5648)_,

and
<2532>

his
<846>

sepulchre
<3418>

is
<2076> (5748)

with
<1722>

us
<2254>

unto
<891>

this
<5026>

day
<2250>_.

{let me: or, I may}

2:30

Therefore
<3767>

being
<5225> (5723)

a prophet
<4396>_,

and
<2532>

knowing
<1492> (5761)

that
<3754>

God
<2316>

had sworn
<3660> (5656)

with an oath
<3727>

to him
<846>_,

that of
<1537>

the fruit
<2590>

of his
<846>

loins
<3751>_,

according to
<2596>

the flesh
<4561>_,

he would raise up
<450> (5693)

Christ
<5547>

to sit
<2523> (5658)

on
<1909>

his
<846>

throne
<2362>_;

2:31

He seeing this before
<4275> (5631)

spake
<2980> (5656)

of
<4012>

the resurrection
<386>

of Christ
<5547>_,

that
<3754>

his
<846>

soul
<5590>

was
<2641> (0)

not
<3756>

left
<2641> (5681)

in
<1519>

hell
<86>_,

neither
<3761>

his
<846>

flesh
<4561>

did see
<1492> (5627)

corruption
<1312>_.

Acts 13:22-36

13:22

And
<2532>

when he had removed
<3179> (5660)

him
<846>_,

he raised up
<1453> (5656)

unto them
<846>

David
<1138>

to be
<1519>

their king
<935>_;

to whom
<3739>

also
<2532>

he gave testimony
<3140> (5660)_,

and said
<2036> (5627)_,

I have found
<2147> (5627)

David
<1138>

the [son] of Jesse
<2421>_,

a man
<435>

after
<2596>

mine own
<3450>

heart
<2588>_,

which
<3739>

shall fulfil
<4160> (5692)

all
<3956>

my
<3450>

will
<2307>_.

13:23

Of
<575>

this man's
<5127>

seed
<4690>

hath
<1453> (0)

God
<2316>

according
<2596>

to [his] promise
<1860>

raised
<1453> (5656)

unto Israel
<2474>

a Saviour
<4990>_,

Jesus
<2424>_:

13:24

When John
<2491>

had first preached
<4296> (5660)

before
<4253>

his
<846>

coming
<4383> <1529>

the baptism
<908>

of repentance
<3341>

to all
<3956>

the people
<2992>

of Israel
<2474>_.

13:25

And
<1161>

as
<5613>

John
<2491>

fulfilled
<4137> (5707)

his course
<1408>_,

he said
<3004> (5707)_,

Whom
<5101>

think ye
<5282> (5719)

that I
<3165>

am
<1511> (5750)_?

I
<1473>

am
<1510> (5748)

not
<3756>

[he]. But
<235>_,

behold
<2400> (5628)_,

there cometh one
<2064> (5736)

after
<3326>

me
<1691>_,

whose
<3739>

shoes
<5266>

of [his] feet
<4228>

I am
<1510> (5748)

not
<3756>

worthy
<514>

to loose
<3089> (5658)_.

13:26

Men
<435>

[and] brethren
<80>_,

children
<5207>

of the stock
<1085>

of Abraham
<11>_,

and
<2532>

whosoever among
<1722>

you
<5213>

feareth
<5399> (5740)

God
<2316>_,

to you
<5213>

is
<649> (0)

the word
<3056>

of this
<5026>

salvation
<4991>

sent
<649> (5648)_.

13:27

For
<1063>

they that dwell
<2730> (5723)

at
<1722>

Jerusalem
<2419>_,

and
<2532>

their
<846>

rulers
<758>_,

because they knew
<50> (0)

him
<5126>

not
<50> (5660)_,

nor yet
<2532>

the voices
<5456>

of the prophets
<4396>

which
<3588>

are read
<314> (5746) <2596>

every
<3956>

sabbath day
<4521>_,

they have fulfilled
<4137> (5656)

[them] in condemning
<2919> (5660)

[him].

13:28

And
<2532>

though they found
<2147> (5631)

no
<3367>

cause
<156>

of death
<2288>

[in him], yet desired they
<154> (5668)

Pilate
<4091>

that he
<846>

should be slain
<337> (5683)_.

13:29

And
<1161>

when
<5613>

they had fulfilled
<5055> (5656)

all
<537>

that was written
<1125> (5772)

of
<4012>

him
<846>_,

they took [him] down
<2507> (5631)

from
<575>

the tree
<3586>_,

and laid
<5087> (5656)

[him] in
<1519>

a sepulchre
<3419>_.

13:30

But
<1161>

God
<2316>

raised
<1453> (5656)

him
<846>

from
<1537>

the dead
<3498>_:

13:31

And he
<3739>

was seen
<3700> (5681)

many
<1909> <4119>

days
<2250>

of them which came up with
<4872> (5631)

him
<846>

from
<575>

Galilee
<1056>

to
<1519>

Jerusalem
<2419>_,

who
<3748>

are
<1526> (5748)

his
<846>

witnesses
<3144>

unto
<4314>

the people
<2992>_.

13:32

And
<2532>

we
<2249>

declare
<2097> (0)

unto you
<5209>

glad tidings
<2097> (5731)_,

how that
<3754>

the promise
<1860>

which was made
<1096> (5637)

unto
<4314>

the fathers
<3962>_,

13:33

God
<2316>

hath fulfilled
<1603> (5758)

the same
<5026>

unto us
<2254>

their
<846>

children
<5043>_,

in that he hath raised up
<450> (0)

Jesus
<2424>

again
<450> (5660)_;

as
<5613>

it is
<1125> (0)

also
<2532>

written
<1125> (5769)

in
<1722>

the second
<1208>

psalm
<5568>_,

Thou
<4771>

art
<1488> (5748)

my
<3450>

Son
<5207>_,

this day
<4594>

have I
<1473>

begotten
<1080> (5758)

thee
<4571>_.

13:34

And
<1161>

as concerning that
<3754>

he raised
<450> (0)

him
<846>

up
<450> (5656)

from
<1537>

the dead
<3498>_,

[now] no more
<3371>

to
<3195> (5723)

return
<5290> (5721)

to
<1519>

corruption
<1312>_,

he said
<2046> (5758)

on this wise
<3779>_,

<3754>

I will give
<1325> (5692)

you
<5213>

the sure
<4103>

mercies
<3741>

of David
<1138>_.

{mercies: Gr. holy, or just things: which word the Septuagint in many places, uses for that which is in the Hebrew, mercies}

13:35

Wherefore
<1352>

he saith
<3004> (5719)

also
<2532>

in
<1722>

another
<2087>

[psalm], Thou shalt
<1325> (0)

not
<3756>

suffer
<1325> (5692)

thine
<4675>

Holy One
<3741>

to see
<1492> (5629)

corruption
<1312>_.

13:36

For
<1063> <3303>

David
<1138>_,

after he had served
<5256> (5660)

his own
<2398>

generation
<1074>

by the will
<1012>

of God
<2316>_,

fell on sleep
<2837> (5681)_,

and
<2532>

was laid
<4369> (5681)

unto
<4314>

his
<846>

fathers
<3962>_,

and
<2532>

saw
<1492> (5627)

corruption
<1312>_:

{after...: or, after he had in his own age served the will of God}
