1 Samuel 24:7-22

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>_.
