1 Samuel 18:1--30:31

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}

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}

20:1

And David
<01732>

fled
<01272> (8799)

from Naioth
<05121>

in Ramah
<07414>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

before
<06440>

Jonathan
<03083>_,

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

what [is] mine iniquity
<05771>_?

and what [is] my sin
<02403>

before
<06440>

thy father
<01>_,

that he seeketh
<01245> (8764)

my life
<05315>_?

20:2

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, God forbid
<02486>_;

thou shalt not die
<04191> (8799)_:

behold, my father
<01>

will do
<06213> (8799) (8675) <06213> (8804)

nothing
<01697>

either great
<01419>

or small
<06996>_,

but that he will shew
<01540> (8799) <0241>

it me: and why should my father
<01>

hide
<05641> (8686)

this thing
<01697>

from me? it [is] not [so]. {shew...: Heb. uncover mine ear}

20:3

And David
<01732>

sware
<07650> (8735)

moreover, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy father
<01>

certainly
<03045> (8800)

knoweth
<03045> (8804)

that I have found
<04672> (8804)

grace
<02580>

in thine eyes
<05869>_;

and he saith
<0559> (8799)_,

Let not Jonathan
<03083>

know
<03045> (8799)

this, lest he be grieved
<06087> (8735)_:

but truly
<0199>

[as] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

and [as] thy soul
<05315>

liveth
<02416>_,

[there is] but a step
<06587>

between me and death
<04194>_.

20:4

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Jonathan
<03083>

unto David
<01732>_,

Whatsoever thy soul
<05315>

desireth
<0559> (8799)_,

I will even do
<06213> (8799)

[it] for thee. {Whatsoever...: or, Say what is thy mind and I will do, etc} {desireth: Heb. speaketh, or, thinketh}

20:5

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jonathan
<03083>_,

Behold, to morrow
<04279>

[is] the new moon
<02320>_,

and I should not fail
<03427> (8800)

to sit
<03427> (8799)

with the king
<04428>

at meat
<0398> (8800)_:

but let me go
<07971> (8765)_,

that I may hide
<05641> (8738)

myself in the field
<07704>

unto the third
<07992>

[day] at even
<06153>_.

20:6

If thy father
<01>

at all
<06485> (8800)

miss
<06485> (8799)

me, then say
<0559> (8804)_,

David
<01732>

earnestly
<07592> (8736)

asked
<07592> (8738)

[leave] of me that he might run
<07323> (8800)

to Bethlehem
<01035>

his city
<05892>_:

for [there is] a yearly
<03117>

sacrifice
<02077>

there for all the family
<04940>_.

{sacrifice: or, feast}

20:7

If he say
<0559> (8799)

thus, [It is] well
<02896>_;

thy servant
<05650>

shall have peace
<07965>_:

but if he be very
<02734> (8800)

wroth
<02734> (8799)_,

[then] be sure
<03045> (8798)

that evil
<07451>

is determined
<03615> (8804)

by him.

20:8

Therefore thou shalt deal
<06213> (8804)

kindly
<02617>

with thy servant
<05650>_;

for thou hast brought
<0935> (8689)

thy servant
<05650>

into a covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

with thee: notwithstanding, if there be
<03426>

in me iniquity
<05771>_,

slay
<04191> (8685)

me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring
<0935> (8686)

me to thy father
<01>_?

20:9

And Jonathan
<03083>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Far be it from thee
<02486>_:

for if I knew
<03045> (8799)

certainly
<03045> (8800)

that evil
<07451>

were determined
<03615> (8804)

by my father
<01>

to come
<0935> (8800)

upon thee, then would not I tell
<05046> (8686)

it thee?

20:10

Then said
<0559> (8799)

David
<01732>

to Jonathan
<03083>_,

Who shall tell
<05046> (8686)

me? or what [if] thy father
<01>

answer
<06030> (8799)

thee roughly
<07186>_?

20:11

And Jonathan
<03083>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us go out
<03318> (8799)

into the field
<07704>_.

And they went out
<03318> (8799)

both
<08147>

of them into the field
<07704>_.

20:12

And Jonathan
<03083>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

when I have sounded
<02713> (8799)

my father
<01>

about to morrow
<04279>

any time
<06256>_,

[or] the third
<07992>

[day], and, behold, [if there be] good
<02895> (8804)

toward David
<01732>_,

and I then send
<07971> (8799)

not unto thee, and shew
<01540> (8804) <0241>

it thee; {sounded: Heb. searched} {shew...: Heb. uncover thine ear}

20:13

The LORD
<03068>

do
<06213> (8799)

so
<03541>

and much more
<03254> (8686)

to Jonathan
<03083>_:

but if it please
<03190> (8686)

my father
<01>

[to do] thee evil
<07451>_,

then I will shew
<01540> (8804) <0241>

it thee, and send thee away
<07971> (8765)_,

that thou mayest go
<01980> (8804)

in peace
<07965>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

be with thee, as he hath been with my father
<01>_.

{shew...: Heb. uncover thine ear}

20:14

And thou shalt not only while yet
<0518>

I live
<02416>

shew
<06213> (8799)

me the kindness
<02617>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that I die
<04191> (8799)

not:

20:15

But [also] thou shalt not cut off
<03772> (8686)

thy kindness
<02617>

from my house
<01004>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_:

no, not when the LORD
<03068>

hath cut off
<03772> (8687)

the enemies
<0341> (8802)

of David
<01732>

every one
<0376>

from the face
<06440>

of the earth
<0127>_.

20:16

So Jonathan
<03083>

made
<03772> (8799)

[a covenant] with the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_,

[saying], Let the LORD
<03068>

even require
<01245> (8765)

[it] at the hand
<03027>

of David's
<01732>

enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

{made: Heb. cut}

20:17

And Jonathan
<03083>

caused David
<01732>

to swear
<07650> (8687)

again
<03254> (8686)_,

because he loved
<0160>

him: for he loved
<0157> (8804)

him as he loved
<0160>

his own soul
<05315>_.

{because...: or, by his love toward him}

20:18

Then Jonathan
<03083>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

To morrow
<04279>

[is] the new moon
<02320>_:

and thou shalt be missed
<06485> (8738)_,

because thy seat
<04186>

will be empty
<06485> (8735)_.

{empty: Heb. missed}

20:19

And [when] thou hast stayed three days
<08027> (8765)_,

[then] thou shalt go down
<03381> (8799)

quickly
<03966>_,

and come
<0935> (8804)

to the place
<04725>

where thou didst hide
<05641> (8738)

thyself when
<03117>

the business
<04639>

was [in hand], and shalt remain
<03427> (8804)

by
<0681>

the stone
<068>

Ezel
<0237>_.

{quickly: or, diligently: Heb. greatly} {Ezel: or, that sheweth the way} {when the...: Heb. in the day of the business}

20:20

And I will shoot
<03384> (8686)

three
<07969>

arrows
<02671>

on the side
<06654>

[thereof], as though I shot
<07971> (8763)

at a mark
<04307>_.

20:21

And, behold, I will send
<07971> (8799)

a lad
<05288>_,

[saying], Go
<03212> (8798)_,

find out
<04672> (8798)

the arrows
<02671>_.

If I expressly
<0559> (8800)

say
<0559> (8799)

unto the lad
<05288>_,

Behold, the arrows
<02671>

[are] on this side of thee, take
<03947> (8798)

them; then come
<0935> (8798)

thou: for [there is] peace
<07965>

to thee, and no hurt
<01697>_;

[as] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_.

{no hurt: Heb. not any thing}

20:22

But if I say
<0559> (8799)

thus unto the young man
<05958>_,

Behold, the arrows
<02671>

[are] beyond
<01973>

thee; go thy way
<03212> (8798)_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath sent thee away
<07971> (8765)_.

20:23

And [as touching] the matter
<01697>

which thou and I have spoken
<01696> (8765)

of, behold, the LORD
<03068>

[be] between thee and me for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

20:24

So David
<01732>

hid
<05641> (8735)

himself in the field
<07704>_:

and when the new moon
<02320>

was come, the king
<04428>

sat him down
<03427> (8799)

to eat
<0398> (8800)

meat
<03899>_.

20:25

And the king
<04428>

sat
<03427> (8799)

upon his seat
<04186>_,

as at other times
<06471>_,

[even] upon a seat
<04186>

by the wall
<07023>_:

and Jonathan
<03083>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and Abner
<074>

sat
<03427> (8799)

by Saul's
<07586>

side
<06654>_,

and David's
<01732>

place
<04725>

was empty
<06485> (8735)_.

20:26

Nevertheless Saul
<07586>

spake
<01696> (8765)

not any thing
<03972>

that day
<03117>_:

for he thought
<0559> (8804)_,

Something hath befallen
<04745>

him, he [is] not
<01115>

clean
<02889>_;

surely he [is] not clean
<02889>_.

20:27

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

[which was] the second
<08145>

[day] of the month
<02320>_,

that David's
<01732>

place
<04725>

was empty
<06485> (8735)_:

and Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jonathan
<03083>

his son
<01121>_,

Wherefore cometh
<0935> (8804)

not the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>

to meat
<03899>_,

neither yesterday
<08543>_,

nor to day
<03117>_?

20:28

And Jonathan
<03083>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Saul
<07586>_,

David
<01732>

earnestly
<07592> (8736)

asked
<07592> (8738)

[leave] of me
<05978>

[to go] to Bethlehem
<01035>_:

20:29

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let me go
<07971> (8761)_,

I pray thee; for our family
<04940>

hath a sacrifice
<02077>

in the city
<05892>_;

and my brother
<0251>_,

he hath commanded
<06680> (8765)

me [to be there]: and now, if I have found
<04672> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in thine eyes
<05869>_,

let me get away
<04422> (8735)_,

I pray thee, and see
<07200> (8799)

my brethren
<0251>_.

Therefore he cometh
<0935> (8804)

not unto the king's
<04428>

table
<07979>_.

20:30

Then Saul's
<07586>

anger
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

against Jonathan
<03083>_,

and he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thou son
<01121>

of the perverse
<05753> (8737)

rebellious
<04780>

[woman], do not I know
<03045> (8804)

that thou hast chosen
<0977> (8802)

the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>

to thine own confusion
<01322>_,

and unto the confusion
<01322>

of thy mother's
<0517>

nakedness
<06172>_?

{Thou...: or, Thou perverse rebel: Heb. Son of perverse rebellion}

20:31

For as long as
<03117>

the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>

liveth
<02425> (8804)

upon the ground
<0127>_,

thou shalt not be established
<03559> (8735)_,

nor thy kingdom
<04438>_.

Wherefore now send
<07971> (8798)

and fetch
<03947> (8798)

him unto me, for he shall surely die
<01121> <04194>_.

{shall...: Heb. is the son of death}

20:32

And Jonathan
<03083>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Saul
<07586>

his father
<01>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain
<04191> (8714)_?

what hath he done
<06213> (8804)_?

20:33

And Saul
<07586>

cast
<02904> (8686)

a javelin
<02595>

at him to smite
<05221> (8687)

him: whereby Jonathan
<03083>

knew
<03045> (8799)

that it was determined
<03617>

of his father
<01>

to slay
<04191> (8687)

David
<01732>_.

20:34

So Jonathan
<03083>

arose
<06965> (8799)

from the table
<07979>

in fierce
<02750>

anger
<0639>_,

and did eat
<0398> (8804)

no meat
<03899>

the second
<08145>

day
<03117>

of the month
<02320>_:

for he was grieved
<06087> (8738)

for David
<01732>_,

because his father
<01>

had done him shame
<03637> (8689)_.

20:35

And it came to pass in the morning
<01242>_,

that Jonathan
<03083>

went out
<03318> (8799)

into the field
<07704>

at the time appointed
<04150>

with David
<01732>_,

and a little
<06996>

lad
<05288>

with him.

20:36

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto his lad
<05288>_,

Run
<07323> (8798)_,

find out
<04672> (8798)

now the arrows
<02671>

which I shoot
<03384> (8688)_.

[And] as the lad
<05288>

ran
<07323> (8801)_,

he shot
<03384> (8804)

an arrow
<02678>

beyond
<05674> (8687)

him. {beyond...: Heb. to pass over him}

20:37

And when the lad
<05288>

was come
<0935> (8799)

to the place
<04725>

of the arrow
<02678>

which Jonathan
<03083>

had shot
<03384> (8804)_,

Jonathan
<03083>

cried
<07121> (8799)

after
<0310>

the lad
<05288>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] not the arrow
<02678>

beyond
<01973>

thee?

20:38

And Jonathan
<03083>

cried
<07121> (8799)

after
<0310>

the lad
<05288>_,

Make speed
<04120>_,

haste
<02363> (8798)_,

stay
<05975> (8799)

not. And Jonathan's
<03083>

lad
<05288>

gathered up
<03950> (8762)

the arrows
<02671> (8675) <02678>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to his master
<0113>_.

20:39

But the lad
<05288>

knew
<03045> (8804)

not any thing
<03972>_:

only Jonathan
<03083>

and David
<01732>

knew
<03045> (8804)

the matter
<01697>_.

20:40

And Jonathan
<03083>

gave
<05414> (8799)

his artillery
<03627>

unto his lad
<05288>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Go
<03212> (8798)_,

carry
<0935> (8685)

[them] to the city
<05892>_.

{artillery: Heb. instruments} {his lad: Heb. the lad that was his}

20:41

[And] as soon as the lad
<05288>

was gone
<0935> (8802)_,

David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8804)

out of [a place] toward
<0681>

the south
<05045>_,

and fell
<05307> (8799)

on his face
<0639>

to the ground
<0776>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself three
<07969>

times
<06471>_:

and they kissed
<05401> (8799)

one
<0376>

another
<07453>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)

one
<0376>

with another
<07453>_,

until David
<01732>

exceeded
<01431> (8689)_.

20:42

And Jonathan
<03083>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

in peace
<07965>_,

forasmuch as we have sworn
<07650> (8738)

both
<08147>

of us in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

be between me and thee, and between my seed
<02233>

and thy seed
<02233>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

And he arose
<06965> (8799)

and departed
<03212> (8799)_:

and Jonathan
<03083>

went
<0935> (8802)

into the city
<05892>_.

{forasmuch...: or, the LORD be witness of that which etc}

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>_.

23:1

Then they told
<05046> (8686)

David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, the Philistines
<06430>

fight
<03898> (8737)

against Keilah
<07084>_,

and they rob
<08154> (8802)

the threshingfloors
<01637>_.

23:2

Therefore David
<01732>

enquired
<07592> (8799)

of the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Shall I go
<03212> (8799)

and smite
<05221> (8689)

these Philistines
<06430>_?

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

and smite
<05221> (8689)

the Philistines
<06430>_,

and save
<03467> (8689)

Keilah
<07084>_.

23:3

And David's
<01732>

men
<0582>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, we be afraid
<03373>

here in Judah
<03063>_:

how much more then if we come
<03212> (8799)

to Keilah
<07084>

against the armies
<04634>

of the Philistines
<06430>_?

23:4

Then David
<01732>

enquired
<07592> (8800)

of the LORD
<03068>

yet again
<03254> (8686)_.

And the LORD
<03068>

answered
<06030> (8799)

him and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

go down
<03381> (8798)

to Keilah
<07084>_;

for I will deliver
<05414> (8802)

the Philistines
<06430>

into thine hand
<03027>_.

23:5

So David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Keilah
<07084>_,

and fought
<03898> (8735)

with the Philistines
<06430>_,

and brought away
<05090> (8799)

their cattle
<04735>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

them with a great
<01419>

slaughter
<04347>_.

So David
<01732>

saved
<03467> (8686)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Keilah
<07084>_.

23:6

And it came to pass, when Abiathar
<054>

the son
<01121>

of Ahimelech
<0288>

fled
<01272> (8800)

to David
<01732>

to Keilah
<07084>_,

[that] he came down
<03381> (8804)

[with] an ephod
<0646>

in his hand
<03027>_.

23:7

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

Saul
<07586>

that David
<01732>

was come
<0935> (8804)

to Keilah
<07084>_.

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>

hath delivered
<05234> (8765)

him into mine hand
<03027>_;

for he is shut in
<05462> (8738)_,

by entering
<0935> (8800)

into a town
<05892>

that hath gates
<01817>

and bars
<01280>_.

23:8

And Saul
<07586>

called
<08085> (0)

all the people
<05971>

together
<08085> (8762)

to war
<04421>_,

to go down
<03381> (8800)

to Keilah
<07084>_,

to besiege
<06696> (8800)

David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>_.

23:9

And David
<01732>

knew
<03045> (8799)

that Saul
<07586>

secretly practised
<02790> (8688)

mischief
<07451>

against him; and he said
<0559> (8799)

to Abiathar
<054>

the priest
<03548>_,

Bring hither
<05066> (8685)

the ephod
<0646>_.

23:10

Then said
<0559> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

thy servant
<05650>

hath certainly
<08085> (8800)

heard
<08085> (8804)

that Saul
<07586>

seeketh
<01245> (8764)

to come
<0935> (8800)

to Keilah
<07084>_,

to destroy
<07843> (8763)

the city
<05892>

for my sake.

23:11

Will the men
<01167>

of Keilah
<07084>

deliver me up
<05462> (8686)

into his hand
<03027>_?

will Saul
<07586>

come down
<03381> (8799)_,

as thy servant
<05650>

hath heard
<08085> (8804)_?

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

I beseech thee, tell
<05046> (8685)

thy servant
<05650>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

He will come down
<03381> (8799)_.

23:12

Then said
<0559> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

Will the men
<01167>

of Keilah
<07084>

deliver
<05462> (8686)

me and my men
<0582>

into the hand
<03027>

of Saul
<07586>_?

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

They will deliver [thee] up
<05462> (8686)_.

{deliver: Heb. shut up}

23:13

Then David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>_,

[which were] about six
<08337>

hundred
<03967> <0376>_,

arose
<06965> (8799)

and departed
<03318> (8799)

out of Keilah
<07084>_,

and went
<01980> (8691)

whithersoever
<0834>

they could go
<01980> (8691)_.

And it was told
<05046> (8717)

Saul
<07586>

that David
<01732>

was escaped
<04422> (8738)

from Keilah
<07084>_;

and he forbare
<02308> (8799)

to go forth
<03318> (8800)_.

23:14

And David
<01732>

abode
<03427> (8799)

in the wilderness
<04057>

in strong holds
<04679>_,

and remained
<03427> (8799)

in a mountain
<02022>

in the wilderness
<04057>

of Ziph
<02128>_.

And Saul
<07586>

sought
<01245> (8762)

him every day
<03117>_,

but God
<0430>

delivered
<05414> (8804)

him not into his hand
<03027>_.

23:15

And David
<01732>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that Saul
<07586>

was come out
<03318> (8804)

to seek
<01245> (8763)

his life
<05315>_:

and David
<01732>

[was] in the wilderness
<04057>

of Ziph
<02128>

in a wood
<02793>_.

23:16

And Jonathan
<03083>

Saul's
<07586>

son
<01121>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to David
<01732>

into the wood
<02793>_,

and strengthened
<02388> (8762)

his hand
<03027>

in God
<0430>_.

23:17

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Fear
<03372> (8799)

not: for the hand
<03027>

of Saul
<07586>

my father
<01>

shall not find
<04672> (8799)

thee; and thou shalt be king
<04427> (8799)

over Israel
<03478>_,

and I shall be next
<04932>

unto thee; and that also Saul
<07586>

my father
<01>

knoweth
<03045> (8802)_.

23:18

And they two
<08147>

made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_:

and David
<01732>

abode
<03427> (8799)

in the wood
<02793>_,

and Jonathan
<03083>

went
<01980> (8804)

to his house
<01004>_.

23:19

Then came up
<05927> (8799)

the Ziphites
<02130>

to Saul
<07586>

to Gibeah
<01390>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Doth not David
<01732>

hide
<05641> (8693)

himself with us in strong holds
<04679>

in the wood
<02793>_,

in the hill
<01389>

of Hachilah
<02444>_,

which [is] on the south
<03225>

of Jeshimon
<03452>_?

{on...: Heb. on the right hand} {Jeshimon: or, the wilderness}

23:20

Now therefore, O king
<04428>_,

come down
<03381> (8798)

according to all the desire
<0185>

of thy soul
<05315>

to come down
<03381> (8800)_;

and our part [shall be] to deliver
<05462> (8687)

him into the king's
<04428>

hand
<03027>_.

23:21

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] ye of the LORD
<03068>_;

for ye have compassion
<02550> (8804)

on me.

23:22

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

I pray you, prepare
<03559> (8685)

yet, and know
<03045> (8798)

and see
<07200> (8798)

his place
<04725>

where his haunt
<07272>

is, [and] who hath seen
<07200> (8804)

him there: for it is told
<0559> (8804)

me [that] he dealeth very
<06191> (8800)

subtilly
<06191> (8686)_.

{haunt...: Heb. foot shall be}

23:23

See
<07200> (8798)

therefore, and take knowledge
<03045> (8798)

of all the lurking places
<04224>

where he hideth
<02244> (8691)

himself, and come ye again
<07725> (8804)

to me with the certainty
<03559> (8737)_,

and I will go
<01980> (8804)

with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be
<03426>

in the land
<0776>_,

that I will search
<02664> (8765)

him out throughout all the thousands
<0505>

of Judah
<03063>_.

23:24

And they arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Ziph
<02128>

before
<06440>

Saul
<07586>_:

but David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

[were] in the wilderness
<04057>

of Maon
<04584>_,

in the plain
<06160>

on the south
<03225>

of Jeshimon
<03452>_.

23:25

Saul
<07586>

also and his men
<0582>

went
<03212> (8799)

to seek
<01245> (8763)

[him]. And they told
<05046> (8686)

David
<01732>_:

wherefore he came down
<03381> (8799)

into a rock
<05553>_,

and abode
<03427> (8799)

in the wilderness
<04057>

of Maon
<04584>_.

And when Saul
<07586>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[that], he pursued
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

David
<01732>

in the wilderness
<04057>

of Maon
<04584>_.

{into...: or, from the rock}

23:26

And Saul
<07586>

went
<03212> (8799)

on this side
<06654>

of the mountain
<02022>_,

and David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

on that side
<06654>

of the mountain
<02022>_:

and David
<01732>

made haste
<02648> (8737)

to get away
<03212> (8800)

for fear
<06440>

of Saul
<07586>_;

for Saul
<07586>

and his men
<0582>

compassed
<05849> (0)

David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

round about
<05849> (8802)

to take
<08610> (8800)

them.

23:27

But there came
<0935> (8804)

a messenger
<04397>

unto Saul
<07586>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Haste
<04116> (8761)

thee, and come
<03212> (8798)_;

for the Philistines
<06430>

have invaded
<06584> (8804)

the land
<0776>_.

{invaded...: Heb. spread themselves upon, etc}

23:28

Wherefore Saul
<07586>

returned
<07725> (8799)

from pursuing
<07291> (8800)

after
<0310>

David
<01732>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

the Philistines
<06430>_:

therefore they called
<07121> (8804)

that place
<04725>

Selahammahlekoth
<05555>_.

{Selahammahlekoth: that is, The rock of divisions}

23:29

And David
<01732>

went up
<05927> (8799)

from thence, and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in strong holds
<04679>

at Engedi
<05872>_.

24:1

And it came to pass, when Saul
<07586>

was returned
<07725> (8804)

from following
<0310>

the Philistines
<06430>_,

that it was told
<05046> (8686)

him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, David
<01732>

[is] in the wilderness
<04057>

of Engedi
<05872>_.

{following: Heb. after}

24:2

Then Saul
<07586>

took
<03947> (8799)

three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

chosen
<0977> (8803)

men
<0376>

out of all Israel
<03478>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to seek
<01245> (8763)

David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

upon
<06440>

the rocks
<06697>

of the wild goats
<03277>_.

24:3

And he came
<0935> (8799)

to the sheepcotes
<01448> <06629>

by the way
<01870>_,

where [was] a cave
<04631>_;

and Saul
<07586>

went in
<0935> (8799)

to cover
<05526> (8687)

his feet
<07272>_:

and David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

remained
<03427> (8802)

in the sides
<03411>

of the cave
<04631>_.

24:4

And the men
<0582>

of David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold the day
<03117>

of which the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto thee, Behold, I will deliver
<05414> (8802)

thine enemy
<0341> (8802)

into thine hand
<03027>_,

that thou mayest do
<06213> (8804)

to him as it shall seem good
<03190> (8799)

unto thee
<05869>_.

Then David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and cut off
<03772> (8799)

the skirt
<03671>

of Saul's
<07586>

robe
<04598>

privily
<03909>_.

{Saul's...: Heb. the robe which was Saul's}

24:5

And it came to pass afterward
<0310>_,

that David's
<01732>

heart
<03820>

smote
<05221> (8686)

him, because he had cut off
<03772> (8804)

Saul's
<07586>

skirt
<03671>_.

24:6

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto his men
<0582>_,

The LORD
<03068>

forbid
<02486>

that I should do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>

unto my master
<0113>_,

the LORD'S
<03068>

anointed
<04899>_,

to stretch forth
<07971> (8800)

mine hand
<03027>

against him, seeing he [is] the anointed
<04899>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

24:7

So David
<01732>

stayed
<08156> (8762)

his servants
<0582>

with these words
<01697>_,

and suffered
<05414> (8804)

them not to rise
<06965> (8800)

against Saul
<07586>_.

But Saul
<07586>

rose up
<06965> (8804)

out of the cave
<04631>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

on [his] way
<01870>_.

{stayed: Heb. cut off}

24:8

David
<01732>

also arose
<06965> (8799)

afterward, and went out
<03318> (8799)

of the cave
<04631>_,

and cried
<07121> (8799)

after
<0310>

Saul
<07586>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

My lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_.

And when Saul
<07586>

looked
<05027> (8686)

behind
<0310>

him, David
<01732>

stooped
<06915> (8799)

with his face
<0639>

to the earth
<0776>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself.

24:9

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Saul
<07586>_,

Wherefore hearest
<08085> (8799)

thou men's
<0120>

words
<01697>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, David
<01732>

seeketh
<01245> (8764)

thy hurt
<07451>_?

24:10

Behold, this day
<03117>

thine eyes
<05869>

have seen
<07200> (8804)

how that the LORD
<03068>

had delivered
<05414> (8804)

thee to day
<03117>

into mine hand
<03027>

in the cave
<04631>_:

and [some] bade
<0559> (8804)

[me] kill
<02026> (8800)

thee: but [mine eye] spared
<02347> (8799)

thee; and I said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not put forth
<07971> (8799)

mine hand
<03027>

against my lord
<0113>_;

for he [is] the LORD'S
<03068>

anointed
<04899>_.

24:11

Moreover, my father
<01>_,

see
<07200> (8798)_,

yea, see
<07200> (8798)

the skirt
<03671>

of thy robe
<04598>

in my hand
<03027>_:

for in that I cut off
<03772> (8800)

the skirt
<03671>

of thy robe
<04598>_,

and killed
<02026> (8804)

thee not, know
<03045> (8798)

thou and see
<07200> (8798)

that [there is] neither evil
<07451>

nor transgression
<06588>

in mine hand
<03027>_,

and I have not sinned
<02398> (8804)

against thee; yet thou huntest
<06658> (8802)

my soul
<05315>

to take
<03947> (8800)

it.

24:12

The LORD
<03068>

judge
<08199> (8799)

between me and thee, and the LORD
<03068>

avenge
<05358> (8804)

me of thee: but mine hand
<03027>

shall not be upon thee.

24:13

As saith
<0559> (8799)

the proverb
<04912>

of the ancients
<06931>_,

Wickedness
<07562>

proceedeth
<03318> (8799)

from the wicked
<07563>_:

but mine hand
<03027>

shall not be upon thee.

24:14

After
<0310>

whom is the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

come out
<03318> (8804)_?

after
<0310>

whom dost thou pursue
<07291> (8802)_?

after
<0310>

a dead
<04191> (8801)

dog
<03611>_,

after
<0310>

a
<0259>

flea
<06550>_.

24:15

The LORD
<03068>

therefore be judge
<01781>_,

and judge
<08199> (8804)

between me and thee, and see
<07200> (8799)_,

and plead
<07378> (8799)

my cause
<07379>_,

and deliver
<08199> (8799)

me out of thine hand
<03027>_.

{deliver: Heb. judge}

24:16

And it came to pass, when David
<01732>

had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of speaking
<01696> (8763)

these words
<01697>

unto Saul
<07586>_,

that Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] this thy voice
<06963>_,

my son
<01121>

David
<01732>_?

And Saul
<07586>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his voice
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_.

24:17

And he said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

Thou [art] more righteous
<06662>

than I: for thou hast rewarded
<01580> (8804)

me good
<02896>_,

whereas I have rewarded
<01580> (8804)

thee evil
<07451>_.

24:18

And thou hast shewed
<05046> (8689)

this day
<03117>

how that thou hast dealt
<06213> (8804)

well
<02896>

with me: forasmuch as when the LORD
<03068>

had delivered
<05462> (8765)

me into thine hand
<03027>_,

thou killedst
<02026> (8804)

me not. {delivered: Heb. shut up}

24:19

For if a man
<0376>

find
<04672> (8799)

his enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

will he let him go
<07971> (8765)

well
<02896>

away
<01870>_?

wherefore the LORD
<03068>

reward
<07999> (8762)

thee good
<02896>

for that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

unto me this day
<03117>_.

24:20

And now, behold, I know well
<03045> (8804)

that thou shalt surely
<04427> (8800)

be king
<04427> (8799)_,

and that the kingdom
<04467>

of Israel
<03478>

shall be established
<06965> (8804)

in thine hand
<03027>_.

24:21

Swear
<07650> (8734)

now therefore unto me by the LORD
<03068>_,

that thou wilt not
<0518>

cut off
<03772> (8686)

my seed
<02233>

after
<0310>

me, and that thou wilt not destroy
<08045> (8686)

my name
<08034>

out of my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_.

24:22

And David
<01732>

sware
<07650> (8735)

unto Saul
<07586>_.

And Saul
<07586>

went
<03212> (8799)

home
<01004>_;

but David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

gat them up
<05927> (8804)

unto the hold
<04686>_.

25:1

And Samuel
<08050>

died
<04191> (8799)_;

and all the Israelites
<03478>

were gathered together
<06908> (8735)_,

and lamented
<05594> (8799)

him, and buried
<06912> (8799)

him in his house
<01004>

at Ramah
<07414>_.

And David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went down
<03381> (8799)

to the wilderness
<04057>

of Paran
<06290>_.

25:2

And [there was] a man
<0376>

in Maon
<04584>_,

whose possessions
<04639>

[were] in Carmel
<03760>_;

and the man
<0376>

[was] very
<03966>

great
<01419>_,

and he had three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

sheep
<06629>_,

and a thousand
<0505>

goats
<05795>_:

and he was shearing
<01494> (8800)

his sheep
<06629>

in Carmel
<03760>_.

{possessions: or, business}

25:3

Now the name
<08034>

of the man
<0376>

[was] Nabal
<05037>_;

and the name
<08034>

of his wife
<0802>

Abigail
<026>_:

and [she was] a woman
<0802>

of good
<02896>

understanding
<07922>_,

and of a beautiful
<03303>

countenance
<08389>_:

but the man
<0376>

[was] churlish
<07186>

and evil
<07451>

in his doings
<04611>_;

and he [was] of the house of Caleb
<03614>_.

25:4

And David
<01732>

heard
<08085> (8799)

in the wilderness
<04057>

that Nabal
<05037>

did shear
<01494> (8802)

his sheep
<06629>_.

25:5

And David
<01732>

sent out
<07971> (8799)

ten
<06235>

young men
<05288>_,

and David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the young men
<05288>_,

Get you up
<05927> (8798)

to Carmel
<03760>_,

and go
<0935> (8804)

to Nabal
<05037>_,

and greet
<07592> (8804) <07965>

him in my name
<08034>_:

{greet...: Heb. ask him in my name of peace}

25:6

And thus shall ye say
<0559> (8804)

to him that liveth
<02416>

[in prosperity], Peace
<07965>

[be] both to thee, and peace
<07965>

[be] to thine house
<01004>_,

and peace
<07965>

[be] unto all that thou hast.

25:7

And now I have heard
<08085> (8804)

that thou hast shearers
<01494> (8802)_:

now thy shepherds
<07462> (8802)

which were with us, we hurt
<03637> (8689)

them not, neither was there ought
<03972>

missing
<06485> (8738)

unto them, all the while
<03117>

they were in Carmel
<03760>_.

{hurt: Heb. shamed}

25:8

Ask
<07592> (8798)

thy young men
<05288>_,

and they will shew
<05046> (8686)

thee. Wherefore let the young men
<05288>

find
<04672> (8799)

favour
<02580>

in thine eyes
<05869>_:

for we come
<0935> (8804)

in a good
<02896>

day
<03117>_:

give
<05414> (8798)_,

I pray thee, whatsoever cometh
<04672> (8799)

to thine hand
<03027>

unto thy servants
<05650>_,

and to thy son
<01121>

David
<01732>_.

25:9

And when David's
<01732>

young men
<05288>

came
<0935> (8799)_,

they spake
<01696> (8762)

to Nabal
<05037>

according to all those words
<01697>

in the name
<08034>

of David
<01732>_,

and ceased
<05117> (8799)_.

{ceased: Heb. rested}

25:10

And Nabal
<05037>

answered
<06030> (8799)

David's
<01732>

servants
<05650>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [is] David
<01732>_?

and who [is] the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>_?

there be many
<07231> (8804)

servants
<05650>

now a days
<03117>

that break away
<06555> (8693)

every man
<0376>

from
<06440>

his master
<0113>_.

25:11

Shall I then take
<03947> (8804)

my bread
<03899>_,

and my water
<04325>_,

and my flesh
<02878>

that I have killed
<02873> (8804)

for my shearers
<01494> (8802)_,

and give
<05414> (8804)

[it] unto men
<0582>_,

whom I know
<03045> (8804)

not whence they [be]? {flesh: Heb. slaughter}

25:12

So David's
<01732>

young men
<05288>

turned
<02015> (8799)

their way
<01870>_,

and went again
<07725> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and told
<05046> (8686)

him all those sayings
<01697>_.

25:13

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his men
<0582>_,

Gird ye on
<02296> (8798)

every man
<0376>

his sword
<02719>_.

And they girded on
<02296> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his sword
<02719>_;

and David
<01732>

also girded on
<02296> (8799)

his sword
<02719>_:

and there went up
<05927> (8799)

after
<0310>

David
<01732>

about four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_;

and two hundred
<03967>

abode
<03427> (8804)

by the stuff
<03627>_.

25:14

But one
<0259>

of the young men
<05288>

told
<05046> (8689)

Abigail
<026>_,

Nabal's
<05037>

wife
<0802>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8804)

messengers
<04397>

out of the wilderness
<04057>

to salute
<01288> (8763)

our master
<0113>_;

and he railed
<05860> (8799)

on them. {railed...: Heb. flew upon them}

25:15

But the men
<0582>

[were] very
<03966>

good
<02896>

unto us, and we were not hurt
<03637> (8717)_,

neither missed
<06485> (8804)

we any thing
<03972>_,

as long as
<03117>

we were conversant
<01980> (8694)

with them, when we were in the fields
<07704>_:

{hurt: Heb. shamed}

25:16

They were a wall
<02346>

unto us both by night
<03915>

and day
<03119>_,

all the while
<03117>

we were with them keeping
<07462> (8802)

the sheep
<06629>_.

25:17

Now therefore know
<03045> (8798)

and consider
<07200> (8798)

what thou wilt do
<06213> (8799)_;

for evil
<07451>

is determined
<03615> (8804)

against our master
<0113>_,

and against all his household
<01004>_:

for he [is such] a son
<01121>

of Belial
<01100>_,

that [a man] cannot speak
<01696> (8763)

to him.

25:18

Then Abigail
<026>

made haste
<04116> (8762)_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

two hundred
<03967>

loaves
<03899>_,

and two
<08147>

bottles
<05035>

of wine
<03196>_,

and five
<02568>

sheep
<06629>

ready dressed
<06213> (8803)_,

and five
<02568>

measures
<05429>

of parched
<07039>

[corn], and an hundred
<03967>

clusters of raisins
<06778>_,

and two hundred
<03967>

cakes
<01690>

of figs, and laid
<07760> (8799)

[them] on asses
<02543>_.

{clusters: or, lumps}

25:19

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto her servants
<05288>_,

Go on
<05674> (8798)

before
<06440>

me; behold, I come
<0935> (8802)

after
<0310>

you. But she told
<05046> (8689)

not her husband
<0376>

Nabal
<05037>_.

25:20

And it was [so, as] she rode
<07392> (8802)

on the ass
<02543>_,

that she came down
<03381> (8802)

by the covert
<05643>

of the hill
<02022>_,

and, behold, David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

came down
<03381> (8802)

against
<07125> (8800)

her; and she met
<06298> (8799)

them.

25:21

Now David
<01732>

had said
<0559> (8804)_,

Surely in vain
<08267>

have I kept
<08104> (8804)

all that this
<02088>

[fellow] hath in the wilderness
<04057>_,

so that nothing
<03972>

was missed
<06485> (8738)

of all that [pertained] unto him: and he hath requited
<07725> (8686)

me evil
<07451>

for good
<02896>_.

25:22

So
<03541>

and more
<03254> (8686)

also do
<06213> (8799)

God
<0430>

unto the enemies
<0341> (8802)

of David
<01732>_,

if I leave
<07604> (8686)

of all that [pertain] to him by
<05704>

the morning
<01242>

light
<0216>

any that pisseth
<08366> (8688)

against the wall
<07023>_.

25:23

And when Abigail
<026>

saw
<07200> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

she hasted
<04116> (8762)_,

and lighted off
<03381> (8799)

the ass
<02543>_,

and fell
<05307> (8799)

before
<0639>

David
<01732>

on her face
<06440>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

herself to the ground
<0776>_,

25:24

And fell
<05307> (8799)

at his feet
<07272>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Upon me, my lord
<0113>_,

[upon] me [let this] iniquity
<05771>

[be]: and let thine handmaid
<0519>_,

I pray thee, speak
<01696> (8762)

in thine audience
<0241>_,

and hear
<08085> (8798)

the words
<01697>

of thine handmaid
<0589>_.

{audience: Heb. ears}

25:25

Let
<07760> (8799)

not my lord
<0113>_,

I pray thee, regard
<03820>

this man
<0376>

of Belial
<01100>_,

[even] Nabal
<05037>_:

for as his name
<08034>

[is], so [is] he; Nabal
<05037>

[is] his name
<08034>_,

and folly
<05039>

[is] with him: but I thine handmaid
<0519>

saw
<07200> (8804)

not the young men
<05288>

of my lord
<0113>_,

whom thou didst send
<07971> (8804)_.

{regard: Heb. lay it to his heart} {Nabal: that is, Fool}

25:26

Now therefore, my lord
<0113>_,

[as] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

and [as] thy soul
<05315>

liveth
<02416>_,

seeing the LORD
<03068>

hath withholden
<04513> (8804)

thee from coming
<0935> (8800)

to [shed] blood
<01818>_,

and from avenging
<03467> (8687)

thyself with thine own hand
<03027>_,

now let thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and they that seek
<01245> (8764)

evil
<07451>

to my lord
<0113>_,

be as Nabal
<05037>_.

{avenging...: Heb. saving thyself}

25:27

And now this blessing
<01293>

which thine handmaid
<08198>

hath brought
<0935> (8689)

unto my lord
<0113>_,

let it even be given
<05414> (8738)

unto the young men
<05288>

that follow
<01980> (8693) <07272>

my lord
<0113>_.

{blessing: or, present} {follow...: Heb. walk at the feet of, etc}

25:28

I pray thee, forgive
<05375> (8798)

the trespass
<06588>

of thine handmaid
<0519>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

will certainly
<06213> (8800)

make
<06213> (8799)

my lord
<0113>

a sure
<0539> (8737)

house
<01004>_;

because my lord
<0113>

fighteth
<03898> (8737)

the battles
<04421>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and evil
<07451>

hath not been found
<04672> (8735)

in thee [all] thy days
<03117>_.

25:29

Yet a man
<0120>

is risen
<06965> (8799)

to pursue
<07291> (8800)

thee, and to seek
<01245> (8763)

thy soul
<05315>_:

but the soul
<05315>

of my lord
<0113>

shall be bound
<06887> (8803)

in the bundle
<06872>

of life
<02416>

with the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_;

and the souls
<05315>

of thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

them shall he sling out
<07049> (8762)_,

[as out] of the middle
<08432> <03709>

of a sling
<07050>_.

{as out...: Heb. in the midst of the bought of a sling}

25:30

And it shall come to pass, when the LORD
<03068>

shall have done
<06213> (8799)

to my lord
<0113>

according to all the good
<02896>

that he hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

concerning thee, and shall have appointed
<06680> (8765)

thee ruler
<05057>

over Israel
<03478>_;

25:31

That this shall be no grief
<06330>

unto thee, nor offence
<04383>

of heart
<03820>

unto my lord
<0113>_,

either that thou hast shed
<08210> (8800)

blood
<01818>

causeless
<02600>_,

or that my lord
<0113>

hath avenged
<03467> (8687)

himself: but when the LORD
<03068>

shall have dealt well
<03190> (8689)

with my lord
<0113>_,

then remember
<02142> (8804)

thine handmaid
<0519>_.

{no grief: Heb. no staggering, or, stumbling}

25:32

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Abigail
<026>_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which sent
<07971> (8804)

thee this day
<03117>

to meet
<07125> (8800)

me:

25:33

And blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] thy advice
<02940>_,

and blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] thou, which hast kept
<03607> (8804)

me this day
<03117>

from coming
<0935> (8800)

to [shed] blood
<01818>_,

and from avenging
<03467> (8687)

myself with mine own hand
<03027>_.

25:34

For in very deed
<0199>_,

[as] the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

liveth
<02416>_,

which hath kept me back
<04513> (8804)

from hurting
<07489> (8687)

thee, except
<03884>

thou hadst hasted
<04116> (8765)

and come
<0935> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

me, surely there had not been left
<03498> (8738)

unto Nabal
<05037>

by the morning
<01242>

light
<0216>

any that pisseth
<08366> (8688)

against the wall
<07023>_.

25:35

So David
<01732>

received
<03947> (8799)

of her hand
<03027>

[that] which she had brought
<0935> (8689)

him, and said
<0559> (8804)

unto her, Go up
<05927> (8798)

in peace
<07965>

to thine house
<01004>_;

see
<07200> (8798)_,

I have hearkened
<08085> (8804)

to thy voice
<06963>_,

and have accepted
<05375> (8799)

thy person
<06440>_.

25:36

And Abigail
<026>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Nabal
<05037>_;

and, behold, he held a feast
<04960>

in his house
<01004>_,

like the feast
<04960>

of a king
<04428>_;

and Nabal's
<05037>

heart
<03820>

[was] merry
<02896>

within him, for he [was] very
<03966>

drunken
<07910>_:

wherefore she told
<05046> (8689)

him nothing
<01697>_,

less
<06996>

or more
<01419>_,

until the morning
<01242>

light
<0216>_.

25:37

But it came to pass in the morning
<01242>_,

when the wine
<03196>

was gone out
<03318> (8800)

of Nabal
<05037>_,

and his wife
<0802>

had told
<05046> (8686)

him these things
<01697>_,

that his heart
<03820>

died
<04191> (8799)

within
<07130>

him, and he became [as] a stone
<068>_.

25:38

And it came to pass about ten
<06235>

days
<03117>

[after], that the LORD
<03068>

smote
<05062> (8799)

Nabal
<05037>_,

that he died
<04191> (8799)_.

25:39

And when David
<01732>

heard
<08085> (8799)

that Nabal
<05037>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_,

he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] the LORD
<03068>_,

that hath pleaded
<07378> (8804)

the cause
<07379>

of my reproach
<02781>

from the hand
<03027>

of Nabal
<05037>_,

and hath kept
<02820> (8804)

his servant
<05650>

from evil
<07451>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath returned
<07725> (8689)

the wickedness
<07451>

of Nabal
<05037>

upon his own head
<07218>_.

And David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and communed
<01696> (8762)

with Abigail
<026>_,

to take
<03947> (8800)

her to him to wife
<0802>_.

25:40

And when the servants
<05650>

of David
<01732>

were come
<0935> (8799)

to Abigail
<026>

to Carmel
<03760>_,

they spake
<01696> (8762)

unto her, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8804)

us unto thee, to take
<03947> (8800)

thee to him to wife
<0802>_.

25:41

And she arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

herself on [her] face
<0639>

to the earth
<0776>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, [let] thine handmaid
<0519>

[be] a servant
<08198>

to wash
<07364> (8800)

the feet
<07272>

of the servants
<05650>

of my lord
<0113>_.

25:42

And Abigail
<026>

hasted
<04116> (8762)_,

and arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and rode
<07392> (8799)

upon an ass
<02543>_,

with five
<02568>

damsels
<05291>

of hers that went
<01980> (8802)

after
<07272>

her; and she went
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

the messengers
<04397>

of David
<01732>_,

and became his wife
<0802>_.

{after her: Heb. at her feet}

25:43

David
<01732>

also took
<03947> (8804)

Ahinoam
<0293>

of Jezreel
<03157>_;

and they were also both
<08147>

of them his wives
<0802>_.

25:44

But Saul
<07586>

had given
<05414> (8804)

Michal
<04324>

his daughter
<01323>_,

David's
<01732>

wife
<0802>_,

to Phalti
<06406>

the son
<01121>

of Laish
<03919>_,

which [was] of Gallim
<01554>_.

{Phalti: also called, Phaltiel}

26:1

And the Ziphites
<02130>

came
<0935> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>

to Gibeah
<01390>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Doth not David
<01732>

hide
<05641> (8693)

himself in the hill
<01389>

of Hachilah
<02444>_,

[which is] before
<06440>

Jeshimon
<03452>_?

26:2

Then Saul
<07586>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went down
<03381> (8799)

to the wilderness
<04057>

of Ziph
<02128>_,

having three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

chosen
<0977> (8803)

men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

with him, to seek
<01245> (8763)

David
<01732>

in the wilderness
<04057>

of Ziph
<02128>_.

26:3

And Saul
<07586>

pitched
<02583> (8799)

in the hill
<01389>

of Hachilah
<02444>_,

which [is] before
<06440>

Jeshimon
<03452>_,

by the way
<01870>_.

But David
<01732>

abode
<03427> (8802)

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

and he saw
<07200> (8799)

that Saul
<07586>

came
<0935> (8804)

after
<0310>

him into the wilderness
<04057>_.

26:4

David
<01732>

therefore sent out
<07971> (8799)

spies
<07270> (8764)_,

and understood
<03045> (8799)

that Saul
<07586>

was come
<0935> (8804)

in very deed
<03559> (8737)_.

26:5

And David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to the place
<04725>

where Saul
<07586>

had pitched
<02583> (8804)_:

and David
<01732>

beheld
<07200> (8799)

the place
<04725>

where Saul
<07586>

lay
<07901> (8804)_,

and Abner
<074>

the son
<01121>

of Ner
<05369>_,

the captain
<08269>

of his host
<06635>_:

and Saul
<07586>

lay
<07901> (8802)

in the trench
<04570>_,

and the people
<05971>

pitched
<02583> (8802)

round about
<05439>

him. {trench: or, midst of his carriages}

26:6

Then answered
<06030> (8799)

David
<01732>

and said
<0559> (8799)

to Ahimelech
<0288>

the Hittite
<02850>_,

and to Abishai
<052>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>_,

brother
<0251>

to Joab
<03097>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Who will go down
<03381> (8799)

with me to Saul
<07586>

to the camp
<04264>_?

And Abishai
<052>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will go down
<03381> (8799)

with thee.

26:7

So David
<01732>

and Abishai
<052>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the people
<05971>

by night
<03915>_:

and, behold, Saul
<07586>

lay
<07901> (8802)

sleeping
<03463>

within the trench
<04570>_,

and his spear
<02595>

stuck
<04600> (8803)

in the ground
<0776>

at his bolster
<04763>_:

but Abner
<074>

and the people
<05971>

lay
<07901> (8802)

round about
<05439>

him.

26:8

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Abishai
<052>

to David
<01732>_,

God
<0430>

hath delivered
<05462> (8765)

thine enemy
<0341> (8802)

into thine hand
<03027>

this day
<03117>_:

now therefore let me smite
<05221> (8686)

him, I pray thee, with the spear
<02595>

even to the earth
<0776>

at once
<06471> <0259>_,

and I will not [smite] him the second time
<08138> (8799)_.

{delivered: Heb. shut up}

26:9

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Abishai
<052>_,

Destroy
<07843> (8686)

him not: for who can stretch forth
<07971> (8804)

his hand
<03027>

against the LORD'S
<03068>

anointed
<04899>_,

and be guiltless
<05352> (8738)_?

26:10

David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

furthermore, [As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

the LORD
<03068>

shall smite
<05062> (8799)

him; or his day
<03117>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

to die
<04191> (8804)_;

or he shall descend
<03381> (8799)

into battle
<04421>_,

and perish
<05595> (8738)_.

26:11

The LORD
<03068>

forbid
<02486>

that I should stretch forth
<07971> (8800)

mine hand
<03027>

against the LORD'S
<03068>

anointed
<04899>_:

but, I pray thee, take
<03947> (8798)

thou now the spear
<02595>

that [is] at his bolster
<04763>_,

and the cruse
<06835>

of water
<04325>_,

and let us go
<03212> (8799)_.

26:12

So David
<01732>

took
<03947> (8799)

the spear
<02595>

and the cruse
<06835>

of water
<04325>

from Saul's
<07586>

bolster
<07226>_;

and they gat them away
<03212> (8799)_,

and no man saw
<07200> (8802)

[it], nor knew
<03045> (8802)

[it], neither awaked
<06974> (8688)_:

for they [were] all asleep
<03463>_;

because a deep sleep
<08639>

from the LORD
<03068>

was fallen
<05307> (8804)

upon them.

26:13

Then David
<01732>

went over
<05674> (8799)

to the other side
<05676>_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

on the top
<07218>

of an hill
<02022>

afar off
<07350>_;

a great
<07227>

space
<04725>

[being] between them:

26:14

And David
<01732>

cried
<07121> (8799)

to the people
<05971>_,

and to Abner
<074>

the son
<01121>

of Ner
<05369>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Answerest
<06030> (8799)

thou not, Abner
<074>_?

Then Abner
<074>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [art] thou [that] criest
<07121> (8804)

to the king
<04428>_?

26:15

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Abner
<074>_,

[Art] not thou a [valiant] man
<0376>_?

and who [is] like to thee in Israel
<03478>_?

wherefore then hast thou not kept
<08104> (8804)

thy lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_?

for there came
<0935> (8804)

one
<0259>

of the people
<05971>

in to destroy
<07843> (8687)

the king
<04428>

thy lord
<0113>_.

26:16

This thing
<01697>

[is] not good
<02896>

that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_.

[As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

ye [are] worthy
<01121>

to die
<04194>_,

because ye have not kept
<08104> (8804)

your master
<0113>_,

the LORD'S
<03068>

anointed
<04899>_.

And now see
<07200> (8798)

where the king's
<04428>

spear
<02595>

[is], and the cruse
<06835>

of water
<04325>

that [was] at his bolster
<04763>_.

{worthy to die: Heb. the sons of death}

26:17

And Saul
<07586>

knew
<05234> (8686)

David's
<01732>

voice
<06963>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] this thy voice
<06963>_,

my son
<01121>

David
<01732>_?

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[It is] my voice
<06963>_,

my lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_.

26:18

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wherefore doth my lord
<0113>

thus pursue
<07291> (8802)

after
<0310>

his servant
<05650>_?

for what have I done
<06213> (8804)_?

or what evil
<07451>

[is] in mine hand
<03027>_?

26:19

Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

hear
<08085> (8799)

the words
<01697>

of his servant
<05650>_.

If the LORD
<03068>

have stirred thee up
<05496> (8689)

against me, let him accept
<07306> (8686)

an offering
<04503>_:

but if [they be] the children
<01121>

of men
<0120>_,

cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] they before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_;

for they have driven
<01644> (8765)

me out this day
<03117>

from abiding
<05596> (8692)

in the inheritance
<05159>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

serve
<05647> (8798)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_.

{accept: Heb. smell} {abiding: Heb. cleaving}

26:20

Now therefore, let not my blood
<01818>

fall
<05307> (8799)

to the earth
<0776>

before the face
<06440>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

for the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

is come out
<03318> (8804)

to seek
<01245> (8763)

a
<0259>

flea
<06550>_,

as when one doth hunt
<07291> (8799)

a partridge
<07124>

in the mountains
<02022>_.

26:21

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Saul
<07586>_,

I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_:

return
<07725> (8798)_,

my son
<01121>

David
<01732>_:

for I will no more do thee harm
<07489> (8686)_,

because my soul
<05315>

was precious
<03365> (8804)

in thine eyes
<05869>

this day
<03117>_:

behold, I have played the fool
<05528> (8689)_,

and have erred
<07686> (8799)

exceedingly
<07235> (8687) <03966>_.

26:22

And David
<01732>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold the king's
<04428>

spear
<02595>_!

and let one
<0259>

of the young men
<05288>

come over
<05674> (8799)

and fetch
<03947> (8799)

it.

26:23

The LORD
<03068>

render
<07725> (8686)

to every man
<0376>

his righteousness
<06666>

and his faithfulness
<0530>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

delivered
<05414> (8804)

thee into [my] hand
<03027>

to day
<03117>_,

but I would
<014> (8804)

not stretch forth
<07971> (8800)

mine hand
<03027>

against the LORD'S
<03068>

anointed
<04899>_.

26:24

And, behold, as thy life
<05315>

was much set by
<01431> (8804)

this day
<03117>

in mine eyes
<05869>_,

so let my life
<05315>

be much set by
<01431> (8799)

in the eyes
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and let him deliver
<05337> (8686)

me out of all tribulation
<06869>_.

26:25

Then Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] thou, my son
<01121>

David
<01732>_:

thou shalt both do
<06213> (8799)

great
<06213> (8800)

[things], and also shalt still
<03201> (8800)

prevail
<03201> (8799)_.

So David
<01732>

went
<03212> (8799)

on his way
<01870>_,

and Saul
<07586>

returned
<07725> (8804)

to his place
<04725>_.

27:1

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

in his heart
<03820>_,

I shall now perish
<05595> (8735)

one
<0259>

day
<03117>

by the hand
<03027>

of Saul
<07586>_:

[there is] nothing better
<02896>

for me than that
<03588>

I should speedily
<04422> (8736)

escape
<04422> (8735)

into the land
<0776>

of the Philistines
<06430>_;

and Saul
<07586>

shall despair
<02976> (8738)

of me, to seek
<01245> (8763)

me any more in any coast
<01366>

of Israel
<03478>_:

so shall I escape
<04422> (8738)

out of his hand
<03027>_.

{perish: Heb. be consumed}

27:2

And David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and he passed over
<05674> (8799)

with the six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

that [were] with him unto Achish
<0397>_,

the son
<01121>

of Maoch
<04582>_,

king
<04428>

of Gath
<01661>_.

27:3

And David
<01732>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

with Achish
<0397>

at Gath
<01661>_,

he and his men
<0582>_,

every man
<0376>

with his household
<01004>_,

[even] David
<01732>

with his two
<08147>

wives
<0802>_,

Ahinoam
<0293>

the Jezreelitess
<03159>_,

and Abigail
<026>

the Carmelitess
<03762>_,

Nabal's
<05037>

wife
<0802>_.

27:4

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

Saul
<07586>

that David
<01732>

was fled
<01272> (8804)

to Gath
<01661>_:

and he sought
<01245> (8763)

no more again
<03254> (8804) (8675) <03254> (8686)

for him.

27:5

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Achish
<0397>_,

If I have now found
<04672> (8804)

grace
<02580>

in thine eyes
<05869>_,

let them give
<05414> (8799)

me a place
<04725>

in some
<0259>

town
<05892>

in the country
<07704>_,

that I may dwell
<03427> (8799)

there: for why should thy servant
<05650>

dwell
<03427> (8799)

in the royal
<04467>

city
<05892>

with thee?

27:6

Then Achish
<0397>

gave
<05414> (8799)

him Ziklag
<06860>

that day
<03117>_:

wherefore Ziklag
<06860>

pertaineth unto the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

unto this day
<03117>_.

27:7

And the time
<04557> <03117>

that David
<01732>

dwelt
<03427> (8804)

in the country
<07704>

of the Philistines
<06430>

was a full year
<03117>

and four
<0702>

months
<02320>_.

{the time: Heb. the number of days} {a full year: Heb. a year of days}

27:8

And David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

went up
<05927> (8799)_,

and invaded
<06584> (8799)

the Geshurites
<01651>_,

and the Gezrites
<01511>_,

and the Amalekites
<06003>_:

for those
<02007>

[nations were] of old
<05769>

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_,

as thou goest
<0935> (8800)

to Shur
<07793>_,

even unto the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

{Gezrites: or, Gerzites}

27:9

And David
<01732>

smote
<05221> (8689)

the land
<0776>_,

and left neither man
<0376>

nor woman
<0802>

alive
<02421> (8762)_,

and took away
<03947> (8804)

the sheep
<06629>_,

and the oxen
<01241>_,

and the asses
<02543>_,

and the camels
<01581>_,

and the apparel
<0899>_,

and returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Achish
<0397>_.

27:10

And Achish
<0397>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Whither
<0408>

have ye made a road
<06584> (8804)

to day
<03117>_?

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Against the south
<05045>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and against the south
<05045>

of the Jerahmeelites
<03397>_,

and against the south
<05045>

of the Kenites
<07017>_.

{Whither...: or, Did you not make a road, etc}

27:11

And David
<01732>

saved
<02421> (8762)

neither man
<0376>

nor woman
<0802>

alive
<02421> (8762)_,

to bring
<0935> (8687)

[tidings] to Gath
<01661>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Lest they should tell
<05046> (8686)

on us, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

So did
<06213> (8804)

David
<01732>_,

and so [will be] his manner
<04941>

all the while
<03117>

he dwelleth
<03427> (8804)

in the country
<07704>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

27:12

And Achish
<0397>

believed
<0539> (8686)

David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

He hath made his people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>

utterly
<0887> (8687)

to abhor
<0887> (8689)

him; therefore he shall be my servant
<05650>

for ever
<05769>_.

{utterly...: Heb. to stink}

28:1

And it came to pass in those days
<03117>_,

that the Philistines
<06430>

gathered
<06908> (0)

their armies
<04264>

together
<06908> (8799)

for warfare
<06635>_,

to fight
<03898> (8736)

with Israel
<03478>_.

And Achish
<0397>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

Know
<03045> (8799)

thou assuredly
<03045> (8800)_,

that thou shalt go out
<03318> (8799)

with me to battle
<04264>_,

thou and thy men
<0582>_.

28:2

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Achish
<0397>_,

Surely
<03651>

thou shalt know
<03045> (8799)

what thy servant
<05650>

can do
<06213> (8799)_.

And Achish
<0397>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

Therefore will I make
<07760> (8799)

thee keeper
<08104> (8802)

of mine head
<07218>

for ever
<03117>_.

28:3

Now Samuel
<08050>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_,

and all Israel
<03478>

had lamented
<05594> (8799)

him, and buried
<06912> (8799)

him in Ramah
<07414>_,

even in his own city
<05892>_.

And Saul
<07586>

had put away
<05493> (8689)

those that had familiar spirits
<0178>_,

and the wizards
<03049>_,

out of the land
<0776>_.

28:4

And the Philistines
<06430>

gathered themselves together
<06908> (8735)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

in Shunem
<07766>_:

and Saul
<07586>

gathered
<06908> (0)

all Israel
<03478>

together
<06908> (8799)_,

and they pitched
<02583> (8799)

in Gilboa
<01533>_.

28:5

And when Saul
<07586>

saw
<07200> (8799)

the host
<04264>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

he was afraid
<03372> (8799)_,

and his heart
<03820>

greatly
<03966>

trembled
<02729> (8799)_.

28:6

And when Saul
<07586>

enquired
<07592> (8799)

of the LORD
<03068>_,

the LORD
<03068>

answered
<06030> (8804)

him not, neither by dreams
<02472>_,

nor by Urim
<0224>_,

nor by prophets
<05030>_.

28:7

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Saul
<07586>

unto his servants
<05650>_,

Seek
<01245> (8761)

me a woman
<0802>

that hath
<01172>

a familiar spirit
<0178>_,

that I may go
<03212> (8799)

to her, and enquire
<01875> (8799)

of her. And his servants
<05650>

said
<0559> (8799)

to him, Behold, [there is] a woman
<0802>

that hath
<01172>

a familiar spirit
<0178>

at Endor
<05874>_.

28:8

And Saul
<07586>

disguised
<02664> (8691)

himself, and put on
<03847> (8799)

other
<0312>

raiment
<0899>_,

and he went
<03212> (8799)_,

and two
<08147>

men
<0582>

with him, and they came
<0935> (8799)

to the woman
<0802>

by night
<03915>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I pray thee, divine
<07080> (8798)

unto me by the familiar spirit
<0178>_,

and bring me [him] up
<05927> (8685)_,

whom I shall name
<0559> (8799)

unto thee.

28:9

And the woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

what Saul
<07586>

hath done
<06213> (8804)_,

how he hath cut off
<03772> (8689)

those that have familiar spirits
<0178>_,

and the wizards
<03049>_,

out of the land
<0776>_:

wherefore then layest thou a snare
<05367> (8693)

for my life
<05315>_,

to cause me to die
<04191> (8687)_?

28:10

And Saul
<07586>

sware
<07650> (8735)

to her by the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

there shall
<0518>

no punishment
<05771>

happen
<07136> (8799)

to thee for this thing
<01697>_.

28:11

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the woman
<0802>_,

Whom shall I bring up
<05927> (8686)

unto thee? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Bring me up
<05927> (8685)

Samuel
<08050>_.

28:12

And when the woman
<0802>

saw
<07200> (8799)

Samuel
<08050>_,

she cried
<02199> (8799)

with a loud
<01419>

voice
<06963>_:

and the woman
<0802>

spake
<0559> (8799)

to Saul
<07586>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Why hast thou deceived
<07411> (8765)

me? for thou [art] Saul
<07586>_.

28:13

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)_:

for what sawest
<07200> (8804)

thou? And the woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

I saw
<07200> (8804)

gods
<0430>

ascending
<05927> (8802)

out of the earth
<0776>_.

28:14

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, What form
<08389>

[is] he of? And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

An old
<02205>

man
<0376>

cometh up
<05927> (8802)_;

and he [is] covered
<05844> (8802)

with a mantle
<04598>_.

And Saul
<07586>

perceived
<03045> (8799)

that it [was] Samuel
<08050>_,

and he stooped
<06915> (8799)

with [his] face
<0639>

to the ground
<0776>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself. {What...: Heb. What is his form?}

28:15

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Saul
<07586>_,

Why hast thou disquieted
<07264> (8689)

me, to bring me up
<05927> (8687)_?

And Saul
<07586>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I am sore
<03966>

distressed
<06887> (8804)_;

for the Philistines
<06430>

make war
<03898> (8737)

against me, and God
<0430>

is departed
<05493> (8804)

from me, and answereth
<06030> (8804)

me no more, neither by
<03027>

prophets
<05030>_,

nor by dreams
<02472>_:

therefore I have called
<07121> (8799)

thee, that thou mayest make known
<03045> (8687)

unto me what I shall do
<06213> (8799)_.

{by prophets: Heb. by the hand of prophets}

28:16

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Samuel
<08050>_,

Wherefore then dost thou ask
<07592> (8799)

of me, seeing the LORD
<03068>

is departed
<05493> (8804)

from thee, and is become thine enemy
<06145>_?

28:17

And the LORD
<03068>

hath done
<06213> (8799)

to him, as he spake
<01696> (8765)

by me
<03027>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath rent
<07167> (8799)

the kingdom
<04467>

out of thine hand
<03027>_,

and given
<05414> (8799)

it to thy neighbour
<07453>_,

[even] to David
<01732>_:

{to him: or, for himself} {me: Heb. mine hand}

28:18

Because
<0834>

thou obeyedst
<08085> (8804)

not the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

nor executedst
<06213> (8804)

his fierce
<02740>

wrath
<0639>

upon Amalek
<06002>_,

therefore hath the LORD
<03068>

done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>

unto thee this day
<03117>_.

28:19

Moreover the LORD
<03068>

will also deliver
<05414> (8799)

Israel
<03478>

with thee into the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_:

and to morrow
<04279>

[shalt] thou and thy sons
<01121>

[be] with me: the LORD
<03068>

also shall deliver
<05414> (8799)

the host
<04264>

of Israel
<03478>

into the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

28:20

Then Saul
<07586>

fell
<05307> (8799)

straightway
<04116> (8762)

all
<04393>

along
<06967>

on the earth
<0776>_,

and was sore
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8799)_,

because of the words
<01697>

of Samuel
<08050>_:

and there was no strength
<03581>

in him; for he had eaten
<0398> (8804)

no bread
<03899>

all the day
<03117>_,

nor all the night
<03915>_.

{fell...: Heb. made haste, and fell with the fulness of his stature}

28:21

And the woman
<0802>

came
<0935> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

that he was sore
<03966>

troubled
<0926> (8738)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, thine handmaid
<08198>

hath obeyed
<08085> (8804)

thy voice
<06963>_,

and I have put
<07760> (8799)

my life
<05315>

in my hand
<03709>_,

and have hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto thy words
<01697>

which thou spakest
<01696> (8765)

unto me.

28:22

Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken
<08085> (8798)

thou also unto the voice
<06963>

of thine handmaid
<08198>_,

and let me set
<07760> (8799)

a morsel
<06595>

of bread
<03899>

before
<06440>

thee; and eat
<0398> (8798)_,

that thou mayest have strength
<03581>_,

when thou goest
<03212> (8799)

on thy way
<01870>_.

28:23

But he refused
<03985> (8762)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not eat
<0398> (8799)_.

But his servants
<05650>_,

together with the woman
<0802>_,

compelled
<06555> (8799)

him; and he hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto their voice
<06963>_.

So he arose
<06965> (8799)

from the earth
<0776>_,

and sat
<03427> (8799)

upon the bed
<04296>_.

28:24

And the woman
<0802>

had a fat
<04770>

calf
<05695>

in the house
<01004>_;

and she hasted
<04116> (8762)_,

and killed
<02076> (8799)

it, and took
<03947> (8799)

flour
<07058>_,

and kneaded
<03888> (8799)

[it], and did bake
<0644> (8799)

unleavened bread
<04682>

thereof:

28:25

And she brought
<05066> (8686)

[it] before
<06440>

Saul
<07586>_,

and before
<06440>

his servants
<05650>_;

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)_.

Then they rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and went away
<03212> (8799)

that night
<03915>_.

29:1

Now the Philistines
<06430>

gathered together
<06908> (8799)

all their armies
<04264>

to Aphek
<0663>_:

and the Israelites
<03478>

pitched
<02583> (8802)

by a fountain
<05869>

which [is] in Jezreel
<03157>_.

29:2

And the lords
<05633>

of the Philistines
<06430>

passed on
<05674> (8802)

by hundreds
<03967>_,

and by thousands
<0505>_:

but David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

passed on
<05674> (8802)

in the rereward
<0314>

with Achish
<0397>_.

29:3

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the princes
<08269>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

What [do] these Hebrews
<05680>

[here]? And Achish
<0397>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the princes
<08269>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

[Is] not this David
<01732>_,

the servant
<05650>

of Saul
<07586>

the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which hath been with me these days
<03117>_,

or these years
<08141>_,

and I have found
<04672> (8804)

no fault
<03972>

in him since
<03117>

he fell
<05307> (8800)

[unto me] unto this day
<03117>_?

29:4

And the princes
<08269>

of the Philistines
<06430>

were wroth
<07107> (8799)

with him; and the princes
<08269>

of the Philistines
<06430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Make
<07725> (0)

this fellow
<0376>

return
<07725> (8685)_,

that he may go again
<07725> (8799)

to his place
<04725>

which thou hast appointed
<06485> (8689)

him, and let him not go down
<03381> (8799)

with us to battle
<04421>_,

lest in the battle
<04421>

he be an adversary
<07854>

to us: for wherewith should he reconcile
<07521> (8691)

himself unto his master
<0113>_?

[should it] not [be] with the heads
<07218>

of these men
<0582>_?

29:5

[Is] not this David
<01732>_,

of whom they sang
<06030> (8799)

one to another in dances
<04246>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Saul
<07586>

slew
<05221> (8689)

his thousands
<0505>_,

and David
<01732>

his ten thousands
<07233>_?

29:6

Then Achish
<0397>

called
<07121> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Surely, [as] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

thou hast been upright
<03477>_,

and thy going out
<03318> (8800)

and thy coming in
<0935> (8800)

with me in the host
<04264>

[is] good
<02896>

in my sight
<05869>_:

for I have not found
<04672> (8804)

evil
<07451>

in thee since the day
<03117>

of thy coming
<0935> (8800)

unto me unto this day
<03117>_:

nevertheless the lords
<05633>

favour
<02896>

thee not
<05869>_.

{the lords...: Heb. thou art not good in the eyes of the lords}

29:7

Wherefore now return
<07725> (8798)_,

and go
<03212> (8798)

in peace
<07965>_,

that thou displease
<06213> (8799) <07451> <05869>

not the lords
<05633>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

{displease...: Heb. do not evil in the eyes of the lords}

29:8

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Achish
<0397>_,

But what have I done
<06213> (8804)_?

and what hast thou found
<04672> (8804)

in thy servant
<05650>

so long as
<03117>

I have been with thee
<06440>

unto this day
<03117>_,

that I may not go
<0935> (8799)

fight
<03898> (8738)

against the enemies
<0341> (8802)

of my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_?

{with...: Heb. before thee}

29:9

And Achish
<0397>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

that thou [art] good
<02896>

in my sight
<05869>_,

as an angel
<04397>

of God
<0430>_:

notwithstanding the princes
<08269>

of the Philistines
<06430>

have said
<0559> (8804)_,

He shall not go up
<05927> (8799)

with us to the battle
<04421>_.

29:10

Wherefore now rise up early
<07925> (8685)

in the morning
<01242>

with thy master's
<0113>

servants
<05650>

that are come
<0935> (8804)

with thee: and as soon as ye be up early
<07925> (8689)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and have light
<0215> (8804)_,

depart
<03212> (8798)_.

29:11

So David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

rose up early
<07925> (8686)

to depart
<03212> (8800)

in the morning
<01242>_,

to return
<07725> (8800)

into the land
<0776>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

And the Philistines
<06430>

went up
<05927> (8804)

to Jezreel
<03157>_.

30:1

And it came to pass, when David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

were come
<0935> (8800)

to Ziklag
<06860>

on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_,

that the Amalekites
<06003>

had invaded
<06584> (8804)

the south
<05045>_,

and Ziklag
<06860>_,

and smitten
<05221> (8686)

Ziklag
<06860>_,

and burned
<08313> (8799)

it with fire
<0784>_;

30:2

And had taken the women
<0802>

captives
<07617> (8799)_,

that [were] therein: they slew
<04191> (8689)

not any
<0376>_,

either great
<01419>

or small
<06996>_,

but carried [them] away
<05090> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

on their way
<01870>_.

30:3

So David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the city
<05892>_,

and, behold, [it was] burned
<08313> (8803)

with fire
<0784>_;

and their wives
<0802>_,

and their sons
<01121>_,

and their daughters
<01323>_,

were taken captives
<07617> (8738)_.

30:4

Then David
<01732>

and the people
<05971>

that [were] with him lifted up
<05375> (8799)

their voice
<06963>

and wept
<01058> (8799)_,

until they had no more power
<03581>

to weep
<01058> (8800)_.

30:5

And David's
<01732>

two
<08147>

wives
<0802>

were taken captives
<07617> (8738)_,

Ahinoam
<0293>

the Jezreelitess
<03159>_,

and Abigail
<026>

the wife
<0802>

of Nabal
<05037>

the Carmelite
<03761>_.

30:6

And David
<01732>

was greatly
<03966>

distressed
<03334> (8799)_;

for the people
<05971>

spake
<0559> (8804)

of stoning
<05619> (8800)

him, because the soul
<05315>

of all the people
<05971>

was grieved
<04843> (8804)_,

every man
<0376>

for his sons
<01121>

and for his daughters
<01323>_:

but David
<01732>

encouraged
<02388> (8691)

himself in the LORD
<03068>

his God
<0430>_.

{grieved: Heb. bitter}

30:7

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Abiathar
<054>

the priest
<03548>_,

Ahimelech's
<0288>

son
<01121>_,

I pray thee, bring me hither
<05066> (8685)

the ephod
<0646>_.

And Abiathar
<054>

brought
<05066> (8686)

thither the ephod
<0646>

to David
<01732>_.

30:8

And David
<01732>

enquired
<07592> (8799)

at the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Shall I pursue
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

this troop
<01416>_?

shall I overtake
<05381> (8686)

them? And he answered
<0559> (8799)

him, Pursue
<07291> (8798)_:

for thou shalt surely
<05381> (8687)

overtake
<05381> (8686)

[them], and without fail
<05337> (8687)

recover
<05337> (8686)

[all].

30:9

So David
<01732>

went
<03212> (8799)_,

he and the six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

that [were] with him, and came
<0935> (8799)

to the brook
<05158>

Besor
<01308>_,

where those that were left behind
<03498> (8737)

stayed
<05975> (8804)_.

30:10

But David
<01732>

pursued
<07291> (8799)_,

he and four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_:

for two hundred
<03967>

abode behind
<05975> (8799)_,

which were so faint
<06296> (8765)

that they could not go over
<05674> (8800)

the brook
<05158>

Besor
<01308>_.

30:11

And they found
<04672> (8799)

an Egyptian
<0376> <04713>

in the field
<07704>_,

and brought
<03947> (8799)

him to David
<01732>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

him bread
<03899>_,

and he did eat
<0398> (8799)_;

and they made him drink
<08248> (8686)

water
<04325>_;

30:12

And they gave
<05414> (8799)

him a piece
<06400>

of a cake
<01690>

of figs, and two
<08147>

clusters of raisins
<06778>_:

and when he had eaten
<0398> (8799)_,

his spirit
<07307>

came again
<07725> (8799)

to him: for he had eaten
<0398> (8804)

no bread
<03899>_,

nor drunk
<08354> (8804)

[any] water
<04325>_,

three
<07969>

days
<03117>

and three
<07969>

nights
<03915>_.

30:13

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, To whom [belongest] thou? and whence [art] thou? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] a young man
<05288>

of Egypt
<04713>_,

servant
<05650>

to an Amalekite
<0376> <06003>_;

and my master
<0113>

left
<05800> (8799)

me, because three
<07969>

days
<03117>

agone I fell sick
<02470> (8804)_.

30:14

We made an invasion
<06584> (8804)

[upon] the south
<05045>

of the Cherethites
<03774>_,

and upon [the coast] which [belongeth] to Judah
<03063>_,

and upon the south
<05045>

of Caleb
<03612>_;

and we burned
<08313> (8804)

Ziklag
<06860>

with fire
<0784>_.

30:15

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to him, Canst thou bring me down
<03381> (8686)

to this company
<01416>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Swear
<07650> (8734)

unto me by God
<0430>_,

that thou wilt neither kill
<04191> (8686)

me, nor
<0518>

deliver
<05462> (8686)

me into the hands
<03027>

of my master
<0113>_,

and I will bring thee down
<03381> (8686)

to this company
<01416>_.

30:16

And when he had brought him down
<03381> (8686)_,

behold, [they were] spread abroad
<05203> (8803)

upon all
<06440>

the earth
<0776>_,

eating
<0398> (8802)

and drinking
<08354> (8802)_,

and dancing
<02287> (8802)_,

because of all the great
<01419>

spoil
<07998>

that they had taken
<03947> (8804)

out of the land
<0776>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

and out of the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>_.

30:17

And David
<01732>

smote
<05221> (8686)

them from the twilight
<05399>

even unto the evening
<06153>

of the next day
<04283>_:

and there escaped
<04422> (8738)

not a man
<0376>

of them, save four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

young
<05288>

men
<0376>_,

which rode
<07392> (8804)

upon camels
<01581>_,

and fled
<05127> (8799)_.

{the next...: Heb. their morrow}

30:18

And David
<01732>

recovered
<05337> (8686)

all that the Amalekites
<06002>

had carried away
<03947> (8804)_:

and David
<01732>

rescued
<05337> (8689)

his two
<08147>

wives
<0802>_.

30:19

And there was nothing lacking
<05737> (8738)

to them, neither
<04480>

small
<06996>

nor great
<01419>_,

neither sons
<01121>

nor daughters
<01323>_,

neither spoil
<07998>_,

nor any [thing] that they had taken
<03947> (8804)

to them: David
<01732>

recovered
<07725> (8689)

all.

30:20

And David
<01732>

took
<03947> (8799)

all the flocks
<06629>

and the herds
<01241>_,

[which] they drave
<05090> (8804)

before
<06440>

those
<01931>

[other] cattle
<04735>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

This [is] David's
<01732>

spoil
<07998>_.

30:21

And David
<01732>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the two hundred
<03967>

men
<0582>_,

which were so faint
<06296> (8765)

that they could not follow
<03212> (8800) <0310>

David
<01732>_,

whom they had made also to abide
<03427> (8686)

at the brook
<05158>

Besor
<01308>_:

and they went forth
<03318> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

David
<01732>_,

and to meet
<07125> (8800)

the people
<05971>

that [were] with him: and when David
<01732>

came near
<05066> (8799)

to the people
<05971>_,

he saluted
<07592> (8799) <07965>

them. {saluted...: or, asked them how they did}

30:22

Then answered
<06030> (8799)

all the wicked
<07451>

men
<0376>

and [men] of Belial
<01100>_,

of those
<0582>

that went
<01980> (8804)

with David
<01732>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because they went
<01980> (8804)

not with us, we will not give
<05414> (8799)

them [ought] of the spoil
<07998>

that we have recovered
<05337> (8689)_,

save to every man
<0376>

his wife
<0802>

and his children
<01121>_,

that they may lead [them] away
<05090> (8799)_,

and depart
<03212> (8799)_.

{those: Heb. men}

30:23

Then said
<0559> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

Ye shall not do so
<06213> (8799)_,

my brethren
<0251>_,

with that which the LORD
<03068>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

us, who hath preserved
<08104> (8799)

us, and delivered
<05414> (8799)

the company
<01416>

that came
<0935> (8802)

against us into our hand
<03027>_.

30:24

For who will hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto you in this matter
<01697>_?

but as his part
<02506>

[is] that goeth down
<03381> (8802) (8675) <03381> (8717)

to the battle
<04421>_,

so [shall] his part
<02506>

[be] that tarrieth
<03427> (8802)

by the stuff
<03627>_:

they shall part
<02505> (8799)

alike
<03162>_.

30:25

And it was [so] from that day
<03117>

forward
<04605>_,

that he made
<07760> (8799)

it a statute
<02706>

and an ordinance
<04941>

for Israel
<03478>

unto this day
<03117>_.

{forward: Heb. and forward}

30:26

And when David
<01732>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Ziklag
<06860>_,

he sent
<07971> (8762)

of the spoil
<07998>

unto the elders
<02205>

of Judah
<03063>_,

[even] to his friends
<07453>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold a present
<01293>

for you of the spoil
<07998>

of the enemies
<0341> (8802)

of the LORD
<03068>_;

{present: Heb. blessing}

30:27

To [them]
<0834>

which [were] in Bethel
<01008>_,

and to [them] which [were] in south
<05045>

Ramoth
<07418>_,

and to [them] which [were] in Jattir
<03492>_,

30:28

And to [them] which [were] in Aroer
<06177>_,

and to [them] which [were] in Siphmoth
<08224>_,

and to [them] which [were] in Eshtemoa
<0851>_,

30:29

And to [them] which [were] in Rachal
<07403>_,

and to [them] which [were] in the cities
<05892>

of the Jerahmeelites
<03397>_,

and to [them] which [were] in the cities
<05892>

of the Kenites
<07017>_,

30:30

And to [them] which [were] in Hormah
<02767>_,

and to [them] which [were] in Chorashan
<03565>_,

and to [them] which [were] in Athach
<06269>_,

30:31

And to [them] which [were] in Hebron
<02275>_,

and to all the places
<04725>

where David
<01732>

himself and his men
<0582>

were wont to haunt
<01980> (8694)_.

1 Samuel 30:2

30:2

And had taken the women
<0802>

captives
<07617> (8799)_,

that [were] therein: they slew
<04191> (8689)

not any
<0376>_,

either great
<01419>

or small
<06996>_,

but carried [them] away
<05090> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

on their way
<01870>_.

1 Samuel 15:1--20:26

15:1

Samuel
<08050>

also said
<0559> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

The LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8804)

me to anoint
<04886> (8800)

thee [to be] king
<04428>

over his people
<05971>_,

over Israel
<03478>_:

now therefore hearken
<08085> (8798)

thou unto the voice
<06963>

of the words
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

15:2

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

I remember
<06485> (8804)

[that] which Amalek
<06002>

did
<06213> (8804)

to Israel
<03478>_,

how he laid
<07760> (8804)

[wait] for him in the way
<01870>_,

when he came up
<05927> (8800)

from Egypt
<04714>_.

15:3

Now go
<03212> (8798)

and smite
<05221> (8689)

Amalek
<06002>_,

and utterly destroy
<02763> (8689)

all that they have, and spare
<02550> (8799)

them not; but slay
<04191> (8689)

both man
<0376>

and woman
<0802>_,

infant
<05768>

and suckling
<03243> (8802)_,

ox
<07794>

and sheep
<07716>_,

camel
<01581>

and ass
<02543>_.

15:4

And Saul
<07586>

gathered
<08085> (0)

the people
<05971>

together
<08085> (8762)_,

and numbered
<06485> (8799)

them in Telaim
<02923>_,

two hundred
<03967>

thousand
<0505>

footmen
<07273>_,

and ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>_.

15:5

And Saul
<07586>

came
<0935> (8799)

to a city
<05892>

of Amalek
<06002>_,

and laid wait
<07378> (8799) <0693> (8686)

in the valley
<05158>_.

{laid...: or, fought}

15:6

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the Kenites
<07017>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

depart
<05493> (8798)_,

get you down
<03381> (8798)

from among
<08432>

the Amalekites
<06002>_,

lest I destroy
<0622> (8799)

you with them: for ye shewed
<06213> (8804)

kindness
<02617>

to all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

when they came up
<05927> (8800)

out of Egypt
<04714>_.

So the Kenites
<07017>

departed
<05493> (8799)

from among
<08432>

the Amalekites
<06003>_.

15:7

And Saul
<07586>

smote
<05221> (8686)

the Amalekites
<06002>

from Havilah
<02341>

[until] thou comest
<0935> (8800)

to Shur
<07793>_,

that [is] over against
<06440>

Egypt
<04714>_.

15:8

And he took
<08610> (8799)

Agag
<090>

the king
<04428>

of the Amalekites
<06002>

alive
<02416>_,

and utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)

all the people
<05971>

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_.

15:9

But Saul
<07586>

and the people
<05971>

spared
<02550> (8799)

Agag
<090>_,

and the best
<04315>

of the sheep
<06629>_,

and of the oxen
<01241>_,

and of the fatlings
<04932>_,

and the lambs
<03733>_,

and all [that was] good
<02896>_,

and would
<014> (8804)

not utterly destroy
<02763> (8687)

them: but every thing
<04399>

[that was] vile
<05240>

and refuse
<04549> (8738)_,

that they destroyed utterly
<02763> (8689)_.

{fatlings: or, second sort}

15:10

Then came the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

unto Samuel
<08050>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

15:11

It repenteth
<05162> (8738)

me that I have set up
<04427> (8689)

Saul
<07586>

[to be] king
<04428>_:

for he is turned back
<07725> (8804)

from following
<0310>

me, and hath not performed
<06965> (8689)

my commandments
<01697>_.

And it grieved
<02734> (8799)

Samuel
<08050>_;

and he cried
<02199> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>

all night
<03915>_.

15:12

And when Samuel
<08050>

rose early
<07925> (8686)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

Saul
<07586>

in the morning
<01242>_,

it was told
<05046> (8714)

Samuel
<08050>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Saul
<07586>

came
<0935> (8804)

to Carmel
<03760>_,

and, behold, he set him up
<05324> (8688)

a place
<03027>_,

and is gone about
<05437> (8735)_,

and passed on
<05674> (8799)_,

and gone down
<03381> (8799)

to Gilgal
<01537>_.

15:13

And Samuel
<08050>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Saul
<07586>_:

and Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] thou of the LORD
<03068>_:

I have performed
<06965> (8689)

the commandment
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

15:14

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [meaneth] then this bleating
<06963>

of the sheep
<06629>

in mine ears
<0241>_,

and the lowing
<06963>

of the oxen
<01241>

which I hear
<08085> (8802)_?

15:15

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

They have brought
<0935> (8689)

them from the Amalekites
<06003>_:

for the people
<05971>

spared
<02550> (8804)

the best
<04315>

of the sheep
<06629>

and of the oxen
<01241>_,

to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)

unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_;

and the rest
<03498> (8802)

we have utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)_.

15:16

Then Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

Stay
<07503> (8685)_,

and I will tell
<05046> (8686)

thee what the LORD
<03068>

hath said
<01696> (8765)

to me this night
<03915>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Say on
<01696> (8761)_.

15:17

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

When thou [wast] little
<06996>

in thine own sight
<05869>_,

[wast] thou not [made] the head
<07218>

of the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

anointed
<04886> (8799)

thee king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_?

15:18

And the LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8799)

thee on a journey
<01870>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

and utterly destroy
<02763> (8689)

the sinners
<02400>

the Amalekites
<06002>_,

and fight
<03898> (8738)

against them until they be consumed
<03615> (8763)_.

{they...: Heb. they consume them}

15:19

Wherefore then didst thou not obey
<08085> (8804)

the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

but didst fly
<05860> (8799)

upon the spoil
<07998>_,

and didst
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_?

15:20

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samuel
<08050>_,

Yea, I have obeyed
<08085> (8804)

the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and have gone
<03212> (8799)

the way
<01870>

which the LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8804)

me, and have brought
<0935> (8686)

Agag
<090>

the king
<04428>

of Amalek
<06002>_,

and have utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)

the Amalekites
<06002>_.

15:21

But the people
<05971>

took
<03947> (8799)

of the spoil
<07998>_,

sheep
<06629>

and oxen
<01241>_,

the chief
<07225>

of the things which should have been utterly destroyed
<02764>_,

to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)

unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

in Gilgal
<01537>_.

15:22

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hath the LORD
<03068>

[as great] delight
<02656>

in burnt offerings
<05930>

and sacrifices
<02077>_,

as in obeying
<08085> (8800)

the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>_?

Behold, to obey
<08085> (8800)

[is] better
<02896>

than sacrifice
<02077>_,

[and] to hearken
<07181> (8687)

than the fat
<02459>

of rams
<0352>_.

15:23

For rebellion
<04805>

[is as] the sin
<02403>

of witchcraft
<07081>_,

and stubbornness
<06484> (8687)

[is as] iniquity
<0205>

and idolatry
<08655>_.

Because thou hast rejected
<03988> (8804)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

he hath also rejected
<03988> (8799)

thee from [being] king
<04428>_.

{witchcraft: Heb. divination}

15:24

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samuel
<08050>_,

I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_:

for I have transgressed
<05674> (8804)

the commandment
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and thy words
<01697>_:

because I feared
<03372> (8804)

the people
<05971>_,

and obeyed
<08085> (8799)

their voice
<06963>_.

15:25

Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon
<05375> (8798)

my sin
<02403>_,

and turn again
<07725> (8798)

with me, that I may worship
<07812> (8691)

the LORD
<03068>_.

15:26

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

I will not return
<07725> (8799)

with thee: for thou hast rejected
<03988> (8804)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

hath rejected
<03988> (8799)

thee from being king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_.

15:27

And as Samuel
<08050>

turned about
<05437> (8735)

to go away
<03212> (8800)_,

he laid hold
<02388> (8686)

upon the skirt
<03671>

of his mantle
<04598>_,

and it rent
<07167> (8735)_.

15:28

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, The LORD
<03068>

hath rent
<07167> (8804)

the kingdom
<04468>

of Israel
<03478>

from thee this day
<03117>_,

and hath given
<05414> (8804)

it to a neighbour
<07453>

of thine, [that is] better
<02896>

than thou.

15:29

And also the Strength
<05331>

of Israel
<03478>

will not lie
<08266> (8762)

nor repent
<05162> (8735)_:

for he [is] not a man
<0120>_,

that he should repent
<05162> (8736)_.

{Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory}

15:30

Then he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_:

[yet] honour
<03513> (8761)

me now, I pray thee, before the elders
<02205>

of my people
<05971>_,

and before Israel
<03478>_,

and turn again
<07725> (8798)

with me, that I may worship
<07812> (8694)

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_.

15:31

So Samuel
<08050>

turned again
<07725> (8799)

after
<0310>

Saul
<07586>_;

and Saul
<07586>

worshipped
<07812> (8691)

the LORD
<03068>_.

15:32

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Samuel
<08050>_,

Bring ye hither
<05066> (8685)

to me Agag
<090>

the king
<04428>

of the Amalekites
<06002>_.

And Agag
<090>

came
<03212> (8799)

unto him delicately
<04574>_.

And Agag
<090>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Surely
<0403>

the bitterness
<04751>

of death
<04194>

is past
<05493> (8804)_.

15:33

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

As thy sword
<02719>

hath made women
<0802>

childless
<07921> (8765)_,

so shall thy mother
<0517>

be childless
<07921> (8799)

among women
<0802>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

hewed
<08158> (0)

Agag
<090>

in pieces
<08158> (8762)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

in Gilgal
<01537>_.

15:34

Then Samuel
<08050>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Ramah
<07414>_;

and Saul
<07586>

went up
<05927> (8804)

to his house
<01004>

to Gibeah
<01390>

of Saul
<07586>_.

15:35

And Samuel
<08050>

came no more
<03254> (8804)

to see
<07200> (8800)

Saul
<07586>

until the day
<03117>

of his death
<04194>_:

nevertheless
<03588>

Samuel
<08050>

mourned
<056> (8694)

for Saul
<07586>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

repented
<05162> (8738)

that he had made Saul
<07586>

king
<04427> (8689)

over Israel
<03478>_.

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>_.

16:2

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

How can I go
<03212> (8799)_?

if Saul
<07586>

hear
<08085> (8804)

[it], he will kill
<02026> (8804)

me. And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Take
<03947> (8799)

an heifer
<01241> <05697>

with thee
<03027>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

I am come
<0935> (8804)

to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)

to the LORD
<03068>_.

{with thee: Heb. in thine hand}

16:3

And call
<07121> (8804)

Jesse
<03448>

to the sacrifice
<02077>_,

and I will shew
<03045> (8686)

thee what thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)_:

and thou shalt anoint
<04886> (8804)

unto me [him] whom I name
<0559> (8799)

unto thee.

16:4

And Samuel
<08050>

did
<06213> (8799)

that which the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8765)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Bethlehem
<01035>_.

And the elders
<02205>

of the town
<05892>

trembled
<02729> (8799)

at his coming
<07125> (8800)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Comest
<0935> (8800)

thou peaceably
<07965>_?

{coming: Heb. meeting}

16:5

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Peaceably
<07965>_:

I am come
<0935> (8804)

to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)

unto the LORD
<03068>_:

sanctify
<06942> (8690)

yourselves, and come
<0935> (8804)

with me to the sacrifice
<02077>_.

And he sanctified
<06942> (8762)

Jesse
<03448>

and his sons
<01121>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

them to the sacrifice
<02077>_.

16:6

And it came to pass, when they were come
<0935> (8800)_,

that he looked
<07200> (8799)

on Eliab
<0446>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Surely the LORD'S
<03068>

anointed
<04899>

[is] before him. {Eliab: called Elihu}

16:7

But the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samuel
<08050>_,

Look
<05027> (8686)

not on his countenance
<04758>_,

or on the height
<01364>

of his stature
<06967>_;

because I have refused
<03988> (8804)

him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man
<0120>

seeth
<07200> (8799)_;

for man
<0120>

looketh
<07200> (8799)

on the outward appearance
<05869>_,

but the LORD
<03068>

looketh
<07200> (8799)

on the heart
<03824>_.

{outward...: Heb. eyes}

16:8

Then Jesse
<03448>

called
<07121> (8799)

Abinadab
<041>_,

and made him pass
<05674> (8686)

before
<06440>

Samuel
<08050>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Neither hath the LORD
<03068>

chosen
<0977> (8804)

this.

16:9

Then Jesse
<03448>

made Shammah
<08048>

to pass by
<05674> (8686)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Neither hath the LORD
<03068>

chosen
<0977> (8804)

this. {Shammah: Shimeah, also called, Shimma}

16:10

Again, Jesse
<03448>

made seven
<07651>

of his sons
<01121>

to pass
<05674> (8686)

before
<06440>

Samuel
<08050>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jesse
<03448>_,

The LORD
<03068>

hath not chosen
<0977> (8804)

these.

16:11

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jesse
<03448>_,

Are here all
<08552> (8804)

[thy] children
<05288>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

There remaineth
<07604> (8804)

yet the youngest
<06996>_,

and, behold, he keepeth
<07462> (8802)

the sheep
<06629>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jesse
<03448>_,

Send
<07971> (8798)

and fetch
<03947> (8798)

him: for we will not sit down
<05437> (8799)

till he come
<0935> (8800)

hither
<06311>_.

{down: Heb. round}

16:12

And he sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and brought him in
<0935> (8686)_.

Now he [was] ruddy
<0132>_,

[and] withal
<05973>

of a beautiful
<03303>

countenance
<05869>_,

and goodly
<02896>

to look to
<07210>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

anoint
<04886> (8798)

him: for this [is] he. {of a...: Heb. fair of eyes}

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>_.

16:14

But the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

departed
<05493> (8804)

from Saul
<07586>_,

and an evil
<07451>

spirit
<07307>

from the LORD
<03068>

troubled
<01204> (8765)

him. {troubled: or, terrified}

16:15

And Saul's
<07586>

servants
<05650>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold now, an evil
<07451>

spirit
<07307>

from God
<0430>

troubleth
<01204> (8764)

thee.

16:16

Let our lord
<0113>

now command
<0559> (8799)

thy servants
<05650>_,

[which are] before
<06440>

thee, to seek out
<01245> (8762)

a man
<0376>_,

[who is] a cunning
<03045> (8802)

player
<05059> (8764)

on an harp
<03658>_:

and it shall come to pass, when the evil
<07451>

spirit
<07307>

from God
<0430>

is upon thee, that he shall play
<05059> (8765)

with his hand
<03027>_,

and thou shalt be well
<02895> (8804)_.

16:17

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his servants
<05650>_,

Provide
<07200> (8798)

me now a man
<0376>

that can play
<05059> (8763)

well
<03190> (8688)_,

and bring
<0935> (8689)

[him] to me.

16:18

Then answered
<06030> (8799)

one
<0259>

of the servants
<05288>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, I have seen
<07200> (8804)

a son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>

the Bethlehemite
<01022>_,

[that is] cunning
<03045> (8802)

in playing
<05059> (8763)_,

and a mighty
<01368>

valiant man
<02428>_,

and a man
<0376>

of war
<04421>_,

and prudent
<0995> (8737)

in matters
<01697>_,

and a comely
<08389>

person
<0376>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

[is] with him. {matters: or, speech}

16:19

Wherefore Saul
<07586>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto Jesse
<03448>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Send
<07971> (8798)

me David
<01732>

thy son
<01121>_,

which [is] with the sheep
<06629>_.

16:20

And Jesse
<03448>

took
<03947> (8799)

an ass
<02543>

[laden] with bread
<03899>_,

and a bottle
<04997>

of wine
<03196>_,

and a
<0259>

kid
<01423> <05795>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

[them] by
<03027>

David
<01732>

his son
<01121>

unto Saul
<07586>_.

16:21

And David
<01732>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Saul
<07586>_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

him: and he loved
<0157> (8799)

him greatly
<03966>_;

and he became his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>_.

16:22

And Saul
<07586>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to Jesse
<03448>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Let David
<01732>_,

I pray thee, stand
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

me; for he hath found
<04672> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in my sight
<05869>_.

16:23

And it came to pass, when the [evil] spirit
<07307>

from God
<0430>

was upon Saul
<07586>_,

that David
<01732>

took
<03947> (8804)

an harp
<03658>_,

and played
<05059> (8765)

with his hand
<03027>_:

so Saul
<07586>

was refreshed
<07304> (8804)_,

and was well
<02895> (8804)_,

and the evil
<07451>

spirit
<07307>

departed
<05493> (8804)

from him.

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}

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}

20:1

And David
<01732>

fled
<01272> (8799)

from Naioth
<05121>

in Ramah
<07414>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

before
<06440>

Jonathan
<03083>_,

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

what [is] mine iniquity
<05771>_?

and what [is] my sin
<02403>

before
<06440>

thy father
<01>_,

that he seeketh
<01245> (8764)

my life
<05315>_?

20:2

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, God forbid
<02486>_;

thou shalt not die
<04191> (8799)_:

behold, my father
<01>

will do
<06213> (8799) (8675) <06213> (8804)

nothing
<01697>

either great
<01419>

or small
<06996>_,

but that he will shew
<01540> (8799) <0241>

it me: and why should my father
<01>

hide
<05641> (8686)

this thing
<01697>

from me? it [is] not [so]. {shew...: Heb. uncover mine ear}

20:3

And David
<01732>

sware
<07650> (8735)

moreover, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy father
<01>

certainly
<03045> (8800)

knoweth
<03045> (8804)

that I have found
<04672> (8804)

grace
<02580>

in thine eyes
<05869>_;

and he saith
<0559> (8799)_,

Let not Jonathan
<03083>

know
<03045> (8799)

this, lest he be grieved
<06087> (8735)_:

but truly
<0199>

[as] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

and [as] thy soul
<05315>

liveth
<02416>_,

[there is] but a step
<06587>

between me and death
<04194>_.

20:4

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Jonathan
<03083>

unto David
<01732>_,

Whatsoever thy soul
<05315>

desireth
<0559> (8799)_,

I will even do
<06213> (8799)

[it] for thee. {Whatsoever...: or, Say what is thy mind and I will do, etc} {desireth: Heb. speaketh, or, thinketh}

20:5

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jonathan
<03083>_,

Behold, to morrow
<04279>

[is] the new moon
<02320>_,

and I should not fail
<03427> (8800)

to sit
<03427> (8799)

with the king
<04428>

at meat
<0398> (8800)_:

but let me go
<07971> (8765)_,

that I may hide
<05641> (8738)

myself in the field
<07704>

unto the third
<07992>

[day] at even
<06153>_.

20:6

If thy father
<01>

at all
<06485> (8800)

miss
<06485> (8799)

me, then say
<0559> (8804)_,

David
<01732>

earnestly
<07592> (8736)

asked
<07592> (8738)

[leave] of me that he might run
<07323> (8800)

to Bethlehem
<01035>

his city
<05892>_:

for [there is] a yearly
<03117>

sacrifice
<02077>

there for all the family
<04940>_.

{sacrifice: or, feast}

20:7

If he say
<0559> (8799)

thus, [It is] well
<02896>_;

thy servant
<05650>

shall have peace
<07965>_:

but if he be very
<02734> (8800)

wroth
<02734> (8799)_,

[then] be sure
<03045> (8798)

that evil
<07451>

is determined
<03615> (8804)

by him.

20:8

Therefore thou shalt deal
<06213> (8804)

kindly
<02617>

with thy servant
<05650>_;

for thou hast brought
<0935> (8689)

thy servant
<05650>

into a covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

with thee: notwithstanding, if there be
<03426>

in me iniquity
<05771>_,

slay
<04191> (8685)

me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring
<0935> (8686)

me to thy father
<01>_?

20:9

And Jonathan
<03083>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Far be it from thee
<02486>_:

for if I knew
<03045> (8799)

certainly
<03045> (8800)

that evil
<07451>

were determined
<03615> (8804)

by my father
<01>

to come
<0935> (8800)

upon thee, then would not I tell
<05046> (8686)

it thee?

20:10

Then said
<0559> (8799)

David
<01732>

to Jonathan
<03083>_,

Who shall tell
<05046> (8686)

me? or what [if] thy father
<01>

answer
<06030> (8799)

thee roughly
<07186>_?

20:11

And Jonathan
<03083>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us go out
<03318> (8799)

into the field
<07704>_.

And they went out
<03318> (8799)

both
<08147>

of them into the field
<07704>_.

20:12

And Jonathan
<03083>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

when I have sounded
<02713> (8799)

my father
<01>

about to morrow
<04279>

any time
<06256>_,

[or] the third
<07992>

[day], and, behold, [if there be] good
<02895> (8804)

toward David
<01732>_,

and I then send
<07971> (8799)

not unto thee, and shew
<01540> (8804) <0241>

it thee; {sounded: Heb. searched} {shew...: Heb. uncover thine ear}

20:13

The LORD
<03068>

do
<06213> (8799)

so
<03541>

and much more
<03254> (8686)

to Jonathan
<03083>_:

but if it please
<03190> (8686)

my father
<01>

[to do] thee evil
<07451>_,

then I will shew
<01540> (8804) <0241>

it thee, and send thee away
<07971> (8765)_,

that thou mayest go
<01980> (8804)

in peace
<07965>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

be with thee, as he hath been with my father
<01>_.

{shew...: Heb. uncover thine ear}

20:14

And thou shalt not only while yet
<0518>

I live
<02416>

shew
<06213> (8799)

me the kindness
<02617>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that I die
<04191> (8799)

not:

20:15

But [also] thou shalt not cut off
<03772> (8686)

thy kindness
<02617>

from my house
<01004>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_:

no, not when the LORD
<03068>

hath cut off
<03772> (8687)

the enemies
<0341> (8802)

of David
<01732>

every one
<0376>

from the face
<06440>

of the earth
<0127>_.

20:16

So Jonathan
<03083>

made
<03772> (8799)

[a covenant] with the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_,

[saying], Let the LORD
<03068>

even require
<01245> (8765)

[it] at the hand
<03027>

of David's
<01732>

enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

{made: Heb. cut}

20:17

And Jonathan
<03083>

caused David
<01732>

to swear
<07650> (8687)

again
<03254> (8686)_,

because he loved
<0160>

him: for he loved
<0157> (8804)

him as he loved
<0160>

his own soul
<05315>_.

{because...: or, by his love toward him}

20:18

Then Jonathan
<03083>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

To morrow
<04279>

[is] the new moon
<02320>_:

and thou shalt be missed
<06485> (8738)_,

because thy seat
<04186>

will be empty
<06485> (8735)_.

{empty: Heb. missed}

20:19

And [when] thou hast stayed three days
<08027> (8765)_,

[then] thou shalt go down
<03381> (8799)

quickly
<03966>_,

and come
<0935> (8804)

to the place
<04725>

where thou didst hide
<05641> (8738)

thyself when
<03117>

the business
<04639>

was [in hand], and shalt remain
<03427> (8804)

by
<0681>

the stone
<068>

Ezel
<0237>_.

{quickly: or, diligently: Heb. greatly} {Ezel: or, that sheweth the way} {when the...: Heb. in the day of the business}

20:20

And I will shoot
<03384> (8686)

three
<07969>

arrows
<02671>

on the side
<06654>

[thereof], as though I shot
<07971> (8763)

at a mark
<04307>_.

20:21

And, behold, I will send
<07971> (8799)

a lad
<05288>_,

[saying], Go
<03212> (8798)_,

find out
<04672> (8798)

the arrows
<02671>_.

If I expressly
<0559> (8800)

say
<0559> (8799)

unto the lad
<05288>_,

Behold, the arrows
<02671>

[are] on this side of thee, take
<03947> (8798)

them; then come
<0935> (8798)

thou: for [there is] peace
<07965>

to thee, and no hurt
<01697>_;

[as] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_.

{no hurt: Heb. not any thing}

20:22

But if I say
<0559> (8799)

thus unto the young man
<05958>_,

Behold, the arrows
<02671>

[are] beyond
<01973>

thee; go thy way
<03212> (8798)_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath sent thee away
<07971> (8765)_.

20:23

And [as touching] the matter
<01697>

which thou and I have spoken
<01696> (8765)

of, behold, the LORD
<03068>

[be] between thee and me for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

20:24

So David
<01732>

hid
<05641> (8735)

himself in the field
<07704>_:

and when the new moon
<02320>

was come, the king
<04428>

sat him down
<03427> (8799)

to eat
<0398> (8800)

meat
<03899>_.

20:25

And the king
<04428>

sat
<03427> (8799)

upon his seat
<04186>_,

as at other times
<06471>_,

[even] upon a seat
<04186>

by the wall
<07023>_:

and Jonathan
<03083>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and Abner
<074>

sat
<03427> (8799)

by Saul's
<07586>

side
<06654>_,

and David's
<01732>

place
<04725>

was empty
<06485> (8735)_.

20:26

Nevertheless Saul
<07586>

spake
<01696> (8765)

not any thing
<03972>

that day
<03117>_:

for he thought
<0559> (8804)_,

Something hath befallen
<04745>

him, he [is] not
<01115>

clean
<02889>_;

surely he [is] not clean
<02889>_.
