He fought bravely, striking down the Amalekites and delivering Israel from the hand of its enemies.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Then Saul struck down the Amalekites all the way from Havilah to<n id="1" /> Shur, which is next to Egypt.

<p class="bodytext">But the <sc>Lordsc><n id="1" /> struck down some of the people of Beth Shemesh because they had looked into the ark of the <sc>Lordsc>; he struck down 50,070<n id="2" /> of the men. The people grieved because the <sc>Lordsc> had struck the people with a hard blow.

<p class="bodytext">The <sc>Lordsc> attacked<n id="1" /> the residents of Ashdod severely, bringing devastation on them. He struck the people of<n id="2" /> both Ashdod and the surrounding area with sores.<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">Jonathan attacked the Philistine outpost<n id="1" /> that was at Geba and the Philistines heard about it. Then Saul alerted<n id="2" /> all the land saying, &#8220;Let the Hebrews pay attention!&#8221;

<n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">David prevailed over the Philistine with just the sling and the stone. He struck down the Philistine and killed him. David did not even have a sword in his hand.<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">Now once again there was war. So David went out to fight the Philistines. He defeated them thoroughly<n id="1" /> and they ran away from him.

Saul tried to nail David to the wall with the spear, but he escaped from Saul&#8217;s presence and the spear drove into the wall.<n id="1" /> David escaped quickly<n id="2" /> that night.p>

Afterward David&#8217;s conscience bothered him<n id="1" /> because he had cut off an edge of Saul&#8217;s robe.

<p class="bodytext">But after it had been moved the <sc>Lordsc> attacked<n id="1" /> that city as well, causing a great deal of panic. He struck all the people of that city<n id="2" /> with sores.<n id="3" />

David reached his hand into the bag and took out a stone. He slung it, striking the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank deeply into his forehead, and he fell down with his face to the ground.p>

when David, along with his men, went out<n id="1" /> and struck down two hundred Philistine men. David brought their foreskins and presented all of them to the king so he could become the king&#8217;s son-in-law. Saul then gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.p>

He risked his life<n id="1" /> when he struck down the Philistine and the <sc>Lordsc> gave all Israel a great victory. When you saw it, you were happy. So why would you sin against innocent blood by putting David to death for no reason?&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">So David and his men went to Keilah and fought the Philistines. He took away their cattle and thoroughly defeated them.<n id="1" /> David delivered the inhabitants of Keilah.p>
