1 Samuel 27:1--31:13

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)_.
31:1
Now the Philistines
<06430>
fought
<03898> (8737)
against Israel
<03478>_:
and the men
<0582>
of Israel
<03478>
fled
<05127> (8799)
from before
<06440>
the Philistines
<06430>_,
and fell down
<05307> (8799)
slain
<02491>
in mount
<02022>
Gilboa
<01533>_.
{slain: or, wounded}
31:2
And the Philistines
<06430>
followed hard
<01692> (8686)
upon Saul
<07586>
and upon his sons
<01121>_;
and the Philistines
<06430>
slew
<05221> (8686)
Jonathan
<03083>_,
and Abinadab
<041>_,
and Malchishua
<04444>_,
Saul's
<07586>
sons
<01121>_.
31:3
And the battle
<04421>
went sore
<03513> (8799)
against Saul
<07586>_,
and the archers
<03384> (8688) <0582> <07198>
hit
<04672> (8799)
him; and he was sore
<03966>
wounded
<02342> (8799)
of the archers
<03384> (8688) <0582> <07198>_.
{and the archers: Heb. and the shooters, men with bows} {hit...: Heb. found him}
31:4
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Saul
<07586>
unto his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>_,
Draw
<08025> (8798)
thy sword
<02719>_,
and thrust me through
<01856> (8798)
therewith; lest these uncircumcised
<06189>
come
<0935> (8799)
and thrust me through
<01856> (8804)_,
and abuse
<05953> (8694)
me. But his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>
would
<014> (8804)
not; for he was sore
<03966>
afraid
<03372> (8804)_.
Therefore Saul
<07586>
took
<03947> (8799)
a sword
<02719>_,
and fell
<05307> (8799)
upon it. {abuse...: or, mock me}
31:5
And when his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that Saul
<07586>
was dead
<04191> (8804)_,
he fell
<05307> (8799)
likewise upon his sword
<02719>_,
and died
<04191> (8799)
with him.
31:6
So Saul
<07586>
died
<04191> (8799)_,
and his three
<07969>
sons
<01121>_,
and his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>_,
and all his men
<0582>_,
that same day
<03117>
together
<03162>_.
31:7
And when the men
<0582>
of Israel
<03478>
that [were] on the other side
<05676>
of the valley
<06010>_,
and [they] that [were] on the other side
<05676>
Jordan
<03383>_,
saw
<07200> (8799)
that the men
<0582>
of Israel
<03478>
fled
<05127> (8804)_,
and that Saul
<07586>
and his sons
<01121>
were dead
<04191> (8804)_,
they forsook
<05800> (8799)
the cities
<05892>_,
and fled
<05127> (8799)_;
and the Philistines
<06430>
came
<0935> (8799)
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in them.
31:8
And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,
when the Philistines
<06430>
came
<0935> (8799)
to strip
<06584> (8763)
the slain
<02491>_,
that they found
<04672> (8799)
Saul
<07586>
and his three
<07969>
sons
<01121>
fallen
<05307> (8802)
in mount
<02022>
Gilboa
<01533>_.
31:9
And they cut off
<03772> (8799)
his head
<07218>_,
and stripped off
<06584> (8686)
his armour
<03627>_,
and sent
<07971> (8762)
into the land
<0776>
of the Philistines
<06430>
round about
<05439>_,
to publish
<01319> (8763)
[it in] the house
<01004>
of their idols
<06091>_,
and among the people
<05971>_.
31:10
And they put
<07760> (8799)
his armour
<03627>
in the house
<01004>
of Ashtaroth
<06252> (8677) <01045>_:
and they fastened
<08628> (8804)
his body
<01472>
to the wall
<02346>
of Bethshan
<01052>_.
31:11
And when the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>
heard
<08085> (8799)
of that which the Philistines
<06430>
had done
<06213> (8804)
to Saul
<07586>_;
{of that: or, concerning him that}
31:12
All the valiant
<02428>
men
<0376> (8677) <0381>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
all night
<03915>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
the body
<01472>
of Saul
<07586>
and the bodies
<01472>
of his sons
<01121>
from the wall
<02346>
of Bethshan
<01052>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to Jabesh
<03003>_,
and burnt
<08313> (8799)
them there.
31:13
And they took
<03947> (8799)
their bones
<06106>_,
and buried
<06912> (8799)
[them] under a tree
<0815>
at Jabesh
<03003>_,
and fasted
<06684> (8799)
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_.
