1Sa 01:01 ¶ Now there was a certain <0259> man <0376> of


Ramathaimzophim <07436>, of mount <02022> Ephraim < 0669>, and
his name <08034> was Elkanah <0511>, the son < 01121> of Jeroham
<03395>, the son <01121> of Elihu <0453>, the son <01121> of
Tohu <08459>, the son <01121> of Zuph <06689>, an Ephrathite
<0673>:

1Sa 01:02 And he had two <08147> wives <0802>; the name <08034>
of the one <0259> was Hannah <02584>, and the name <08034> of
the other <08145> Peninnah <06444>: and Peninnah < 06444> had
children <03206>, but Hannah <02584> had no children <03206>.

1Sa 01:03 And this <01931> man <0376> went up < 05927> (8804)
out of his city <05892> yearly <03117> <03117> to worship
<07812> (8692) and to sacrifice <02076> (8800) unto the LORD
<03068> of hosts <06635> in Shiloh <07887>. And the two <08147>
sons <01121> of Eli <05941>, Hophni <02652> and Phinehas <06372>,
the priests <03548> of the LORD <03068>, were there.

1Sa 01:04 And when the time <03117> was that Elkanah < 0511>
offered <02076> (8799), he gave <05414> (8804) to Peninnah
<06444> his wife <0802>, and to all her sons < 01121> and her
daughters <01323>, portions <04490>:

1Sa 01:05 But unto Hannah <02584> he gave <05414> (8799) a
<0259> worthy <0639> portion <04490>; for he loved <0157> (8804)
Hannah <02584>: but the LORD <03068> had shut up < 05462> (8804)
her womb <07358>.

1Sa 01:06 And her adversary <06869> also provoked < 03707>
(8765) her sore <03708>, for to make her fret <07481> (8687),
because the LORD <03068> had shut <05462> (8804) up <01157> her
womb <07358>.

1Sa 01:07 And as he did <06213> (8799) so year < 08141> by year
<08141>, when <01767> she went up <05927> (8800) to the house
<01004> of the LORD <03068>, so she provoked < 03707> (8686) her;
therefore she wept <01058> (8799), and did not eat < 0398> (8799).

1Sa 01:08 Then said <0559> (8799) Elkanah <0511> her husband
<0376> to her, Hannah <02584>, why weepest < 01058> (8799) thou?
and why eatest <0398> (8799) thou not? and why is thy heart
<03824> grieved <03415> (8799)? am not I better < 02896> to thee
than ten <06235> sons <01121>?

1Sa 01:09 ¶ So Hannah <02584> rose up <06965> (8799) after
<0310> they had eaten <0398> (8800) in Shiloh < 07887>, and after
<0310> they had drunk <08354> (8800). Now Eli < 05941> the priest
<03548> sat <03427> (8802) upon a seat <03678> by a post <04201>
of the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>.

1Sa 01:10 And she was in bitterness <04751> of soul < 05315>,
and prayed <06419> (8691) unto the LORD <03068>, and wept
<01058> (8799) sore <01058> (8800).

1Sa 01:11 And she vowed <05087> (8799) a vow <05088>, and said
<0559> (8799), O LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, if thou wilt
indeed <07200> (8800) look <07200> (8799) on the affliction
<06040> of thine handmaid <0519>, and remember < 02142> (8804) me,
and not forget <07911> (8799) thine handmaid <0519>, but wilt
give <05414> (8804) unto thine handmaid <0519> a man <0582>
child <02233>, then I will give <05414> (8804) him unto the LORD
<03068> all the days <03117> of his life <02416> , and there
shall no razor <04177> come <05927> (8799) upon his head <07218>.

1Sa 01:12 And it came to pass, as she continued <07235> (8689)
praying <06419> (8692) before <06440> the LORD < 03068>, that Eli
<05941> marked <08104> (8802) her mouth <06310>.

1Sa 01:13 Now Hannah <02584>, she spake <01696> (8764) in her
heart <03820>; only her lips <08193> moved < 05128> (8801), but
her voice <06963> was not heard <08085> (8735): therefore Eli
<05941> thought <02803> (8799) she had been drunken <07910>.

1Sa 01:14 And Eli <05941> said <0559> (8799) unto her, How long
wilt thou be drunken <07937> (8691)? put away <05493> (8685) thy
wine <03196> from thee.

1Sa 01:15 And Hannah <02584> answered <06030> (8799) and said
<0559> (8799), No, my lord <0113>, I am a woman < 0802> of a
sorrowful <07186> spirit <07307>: I have drunk < 08354> (8804)
neither wine <03196> nor strong drink <07941>, but have poured
out <08210> (8799) my soul <05315> before < 06440> the LORD
<03068>.

1Sa 01:16 Count <05414> (8799) not thine handmaid < 0519> for
<06440> a daughter <01323> of Belial <01100>: for out of the
abundance <07230> of my complaint <07879> and grief <03708> have
I spoken <01696> (8765) hitherto.

1Sa 01:17 Then Eli <05941> answered <06030> (8799) and said
<0559> (8799), Go <03212> (8798) in peace < 07965>: and the God
<0430> of Israel <03478> grant <05414> (8799) thee thy petition
<07596> that thou hast asked <07592> (8804) of him.

1Sa 01:18 And she said <0559> (8799), Let thine handmaid
<08198> find <04672> (8799) grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>.
So the woman <0802> went <03212> (8799) her way < 01870>, and did
eat <0398> (8799), and her countenance <06440> was no more sad.

1Sa 01:19 ¶ And they rose up <07925> <00> in the morning <01242>
early <07925> (8686), and worshipped <07812> (8691) before
<06440> the LORD <03068>, and returned <07725> (8799), and came
<0935> (8799) to their house <01004> to Ramah < 07414>: and
Elkanah <0511> knew <03045> (8799) Hannah < 02584> his wife
<0802>; and the LORD <03068> remembered <02142> (8799) her.

1Sa 01:20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time <03117> was
come <08622> about after Hannah <02584> had conceived <02029>
(8799), that she bare <03205> (8799) a son <01121>, and called
<07121> (8799) his name <08034> Samuel <08050>, saying, Because
I have asked <07592> (8804) him of the LORD <03068>.

1Sa 01:21 And the man <0376> Elkanah <0511>, and all his house
<01004>, went up <05927> (8799) to offer <02076> (8800) unto the
LORD <03068> the yearly <03117> sacrifice < 02077>, and his vow
<05088>.

1Sa 01:22 But Hannah <02584> went not up <05927> (8804); for
she said <0559> (8804) unto her husband <0376>, I will not go up
until the child <05288> be weaned <01580> (8735), and then I
will bring <0935> (8689) him, that he may appear < 07200> (8738)
before <06440> the LORD <03068>, and there abide < 03427> (8804)
for <05704> ever <05769>.

1Sa 01:23 And Elkanah <0511> her husband <0376> said <0559>
(8799) unto her, Do <06213> (8798) what seemeth < 05869> thee
good <02896>; tarry <03427> (8798) until thou have weaned
<01580> (8800) him; only the LORD <03068> establish <06965>
(8686) his word <01697>. So the woman <0802> abode <03427>
(8799), and gave her son <01121> suck <03243> (8686) until she
weaned <01580> (8800) him.

1Sa 01:24 And when she had weaned <01580> (8804) him, she took
him up <05927> (8686) with her, with three <07969> bullocks
<06499>, and one <0259> ephah <0374> of flour <07058>, and a
bottle <05035> of wine <03196>, and brought < 0935> (8686) him
unto the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> in Shiloh <07887>:
and the child <05288> was young <05288>.

1Sa 01:25 And they slew <07819> (8799) a bullock < 06499>, and
brought <0935> (8686) the child <05288> to Eli < 05941>.

1Sa 01:26 And she said <0559> (8799), Oh <0994> my lord <0113>,
as thy soul <05315> liveth <02416>, my lord < 0113>, I am the
woman <0802> that stood <05324> (8737) by thee here, praying
<06419> (8692) unto the LORD <03068>.

1Sa 01:27 For this child <05288> I prayed <06419> (8694); and
the LORD <03068> hath given <05414> (8799) me my petition
<07596> which I asked <07592> (8804) of him:

1Sa 01:28 Therefore also I have lent <07592> (8689) him to the
LORD <03068>; as long as he liveth <03117> he shall be lent
<07592> (8803) to the LORD <03068>. And he worshipped <07812>
(8691) the LORD <03068> there.

1Sa 02:01 ¶ And Hannah <02584> prayed <06419> (8691), and said
<0559> (8799), My heart <03820> rejoiceth < 05970> (8804) in the
LORD <03068>, mine horn <07161> is exalted < 07311> (8804) in the
LORD <03068>: my mouth <06310> is enlarged < 07337> (8804) over
mine enemies <0341> (8802); because I rejoice <08055> (8804) in
thy salvation <03444>.

1Sa 02:02 There is none holy <06918> as the LORD < 03068>: for
there is none beside <01115> thee: neither is there any rock
<06697> like our God <0430>.

1Sa 02:03 Talk <01696> (8762) no more <07235> (8686) so
exceeding <01364> proudly <01364>; let not arrogancy <06277>
come <03318> (8799) out of your mouth <06310>: for the LORD
<03068> is a God <0410> of knowledge <01844>, and by him actions
<05949> are weighed <08505> (8738).

1Sa 02:04 The bows <07198> of the mighty men <01368> are broken
<02844>, and they that stumbled <03782> (8737) are girded <0247>
(8804) with strength <02428>.

1Sa 02:05 They that were full <07649> have hired out < 07936>
(8738) themselves for bread <03899>; and they that were hungry
<07457> ceased <02308> (8804): so that the barren < 06135> hath
born <03205> (8804) seven <07651>; and she that hath many
<07227> children <01121> is waxed feeble <0535> (8797).

1Sa 02:06 The LORD <03068> killeth <04191> (8688), and maketh
alive <02421> (8764): he bringeth down <03381> (8688) to the
grave <07585>, and bringeth up <05927> (8686).

1Sa 02:07 The LORD <03068> maketh poor <03423> (8688), and
maketh rich <06238> (8688): he bringeth low <08213> (8688), and
<0637> lifteth up <07311> (8789).

1Sa 02:08 He raiseth up <06965> (8688) the poor < 01800> out of
the dust <06083>, and lifteth up <07311> (8686) the beggar <034>
from the dunghill <0830>, to set <03427> (8687) them among
princes <05081>, and to make them inherit <05157> (8686) the
throne <03678> of glory <03519>: for the pillars < 04690> of the
earth <0776> are the LORD’S <03068>, and he hath set <07896>
(8799) the world <08398> upon them.

1Sa 02:09 He will keep <08104> (8799) the feet < 07272> of his
saints <02623>, and the wicked <07563> shall be silent <01826>
(8735) in darkness <02822>; for by strength <03581> shall no man
<0376> prevail <01396> (8799).

1Sa 02:10 The adversaries <07378> (8688) of the LORD < 03068>
shall be broken to pieces <02865> (8735); out of heaven < 08064>
shall he thunder <07481> (8686) upon them: the LORD < 03068>
shall judge <01777> (8799) the ends <0657> of the earth <0776>;
and he shall give <05414> (8799) strength <05797> unto his king
<04428>, and exalt <07311> (8686) the horn < 07161> of his
anointed <04899>.

1Sa 02:11 ¶ And Elkanah <0511> went <03212> (8799) to Ramah
<07414> to his house <01004>. And the child < 05288> did <01961>
(8804) minister <08334> (8764) unto the LORD <03068> before
<06440> Eli <05941> the priest <03548>.

1Sa 02:12 Now the sons <01121> of Eli <05941> were sons <01121>
of Belial <01100>; they knew <03045> (8804) not the LORD <03068>.

1Sa 02:13 And the priests <03548>‘ custom <04941> with the
people <05971> was, that, when any man <0376> offered <02076>
(8802) sacrifice <02077>, the priest’s <03548> servant <05288>
came <0935> (8804), while the flesh <01320> was in seething
<01310> (8763), with a fleshhook <04207> of three < 07969> teeth
<08127> in his hand <03027>;

1Sa 02:14 And he struck <05221> (8689) it into the pan < 03595>,
or kettle <01731>, or caldron <07037>, or pot < 06517>; all that
the fleshhook <04207> brought up <05927> (8686) the priest
<03548> took <03947> (8799) for himself. So they did <06213>
(8799) in Shiloh <07887> unto all the Israelites < 03478> that
came <0935> (8802) thither.

1Sa 02:15 Also before they burnt <06999> (8686) the fat <02459>,
the priest’s <03548> servant <05288> came < 0935> (8804), and
said <0559> (8804) to the man <0376> that sacrificed <02076>
(8802), Give <05414> (8798) flesh <01320> to roast <06740>
(8800) for the priest <03548>; for he will not have < 03947>
(8799) sodden <01310> (8794) flesh <01320> of thee, but raw
<02416>.

1Sa 02:16 And if any man <0376> said <0559> (8799) unto him,
Let them not fail <06999> (8686) to burn <06999> (8763) the fat
<02459> presently <03117>, and then take <03947> (8798) as much
as thy soul <05315> desireth <0183> (8762); then he would answer
<0559> (8804) him, Nay; but thou shalt give <05414> (8799) it me
now: and if not, I will take <03947> (8804) it by force < 02394>.

1Sa 02:17 Wherefore the sin <02403> of the young men < 05288>
was very <03966> great <01419> before <06440> the LORD <03068>:
for men <0582> abhorred <05006> (8765) the offering <04503> of
the LORD <03068>.

1Sa 02:18 But Samuel <08050> ministered <08334> (8764) before
<06440> the LORD <03068>, being a child <05288>, girded <02296>
(8803) with a linen <0906> ephod <0646>.

1Sa 02:19 Moreover his mother <0517> made <06213> (8799) him a
little <06996> coat <04598>, and brought <05927> (8689) it to
him from year <03117> to year <03117>, when she came up <05927>
(8800) with her husband <0376> to offer <02076> (8800) the
yearly <03117> sacrifice <02077>.

1Sa 02:20 And Eli <05941> blessed <01288> (8765) Elkanah <0511>
and his wife <0802>, and said <0559> (8804), The LORD <03068>
give <07760> (8799) thee seed <02233> of this woman <0802> for
the loan <07596> which is lent <07592> (8804) to the LORD
<03068>. And they went <01980> (8804) unto their own home
<04725>.

1Sa 02:21 And <03588> the LORD <03068> visited < 06485> (8804)
Hannah <02584>, so that she conceived <02029> (8799), and bare
<03205> (8799) three <07969> sons <01121> and two <08147>
daughters <01323>. And the child <05288> Samuel < 08050> grew
<01431> (8799) before <05973> the LORD <03068>.

1Sa 02:22 Now Eli <05941> was very <03966> old < 02204> (8804),
and heard <08085> (8804) all that his sons <01121> did <06213>
(8799) unto all Israel <03478>; and how they lay < 07901> (8799)
with the women <0802> that assembled <06633> (8802) at the door
<06607> of the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>.

1Sa 02:23 And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, Why do < 06213>
(8799) ye such things <01697>? for I hear <08085> (8802) of your
evil <07451> dealings <01697> by all this people < 05971>.

1Sa 02:24 Nay, my sons <01121>; for it is no good < 02896>
report <08052> that I hear <08085> (8802): ye make the LORD’S
<03068> people <05971> to transgress <05674> (8688).

1Sa 02:25 If one man <0376> sin <02398> (8799) against another
<0376>, the judge <0430> shall judge <06419> (8765) him: but if
a man <0376> sin <02398> (8799) against the LORD < 03068>, who
shall intreat <06419> (8691) for him? Notwithstanding they
hearkened <08085> (8799) not unto the voice <06963> of their
father <01>, because the LORD <03068> would < 02654> (8804) slay
<04191> (8687) them.

1Sa 02:26 And the child <05288> Samuel <08050> grew <01432> on
<01980> (8802), and was in favour <02896> both with the LORD
<03068>, and also with men <0582>.

1Sa 02:27 ¶ And there came <0935> (8799) a man <0376> of God
<0430> unto Eli <05941>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Thus
saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Did I plainly <01540>
(8736) appear <01540> (8738) unto the house <01004> of thy
father <01>, when they were in Egypt <04714> in Pharaoh’s
<06547> house <01004>?

1Sa 02:28 And did I choose <0977> (8800) him out of all the
tribes <07626> of Israel <03478> to be my priest < 03548>, to
offer <05927> (8800) upon mine altar <04196>, to burn <06999>
(8687) incense <07004>, to wear <05375> (8800) an ephod <0646>
before <06440> me? and did I give <05414> (8799) unto the house
<01004> of thy father <01> all the offerings made by fire <0801>
of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>?

1Sa 02:29 Wherefore kick <01163> (8799) ye at my sacrifice
<02077> and at mine offering <04503>, which I have commanded
<06680> (8765) in my habitation <04583>; and honourest <03513>
(8762) thy sons <01121> above me, to make yourselves fat <01254>
(8687) with the chiefest <07225> of all the offerings < 04503> of
Israel <03478> my people <05971>?

1Sa 02:30 Wherefore the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel
<03478> saith <05002> (8803), I said <0559> (8804) indeed <0559>
(8800) that thy house <01004>, and the house <01004> of thy
father <01>, should walk <01980> (8691) before < 06440> me for
<05704> ever <05769>: but now the LORD <03068> saith <05002>
(8803), Be it far from me <02486>; for them that honour < 03513>
(8764) me I will honour <03513> (8762), and they that despise
<0959> (8802) me shall be lightly esteemed <07043> (8799).

1Sa 02:31 Behold, the days <03117> come <0935> (8802), that I
will cut off <01438> (8804) thine arm <02220>, and the arm
<02220> of thy father’s <01> house <01004>, that there shall not
be an old man <02205> in thine house <01004>.

1Sa 02:32 And thou shalt see <05027> (8689) an enemy < 06862> in
my habitation <04583>, in all the wealth which God shall give
<03190> (8686) Israel <03478>: and there shall not be an old man
<02205> in thine house <01004> for ever <03117>.

1Sa 02:33 And the man <0376> of thine, whom I shall not cut off
<03772> (8686) from mine altar <04196>, shall be to consume
<03615> (8763) thine eyes <05869>, and to grieve < 0109> thine
heart <05315>: and all the increase <04768> of thine house
<01004> shall die <04191> (8799) in the flower of their age
<0582>.

1Sa 02:34 And this shall be a sign <0226> unto thee, that shall
come <0935> (8799) upon thy two <08147> sons < 01121>, on Hophni
<02652> and Phinehas <06372>; in one <0259> day <03117> they
shall die <04191> (8799) both <08147> of them.

1Sa 02:35 And I will raise me up <06965> (8689) a faithful
<0539> (8737) priest <03548>, that shall do < 06213> (8799)
according to that which is in mine heart <03824> and in my mind
<05315>: and I will build <01129> (8804) him a sure <0539>
(8737) house <01004>; and he shall walk <01980> (8694) before
<06440> mine anointed <04899> for ever <03117>.

1Sa 02:36 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is
left <03498> (8737) in thine house <01004> shall come <0935>
(8799) and crouch <07812> (8692) to him for a piece < 095> of
silver <03701> and a morsel <03603> of bread < 03899>, and shall
say <0559> (8804), Put <05596> (8798) me, I pray thee, into one
<0259> of the priests’ offices <03550>, that I may eat <0398>
(8800) a piece <06595> of bread <03899>.

1Sa 03:01 ¶ And the child <05288> Samuel <08050> ministered
<08334> (8764) unto the LORD <03068> before < 06440> Eli <05941>.
And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> was precious <03368> in
those days <03117>; there was no open <06555> (8737) vision
<02377>.

1Sa 03:02 And it came to pass at that time <03117>, when Eli
<05941> was laid down <07901> (8802) in his place < 04725>, and
his eyes <05869> began <02490> (8689) to wax dim < 03544>, that
he could <03201> (8799) not see <07200> (8800);

1Sa 03:03 And ere the lamp <05216> of God <0430> went out
<03518> (8799) in the temple <01964> of the LORD < 03068>, where
the ark <0727> of God <0430> was, and Samuel < 08050> was laid
down <07901> (8802) to sleep;

1Sa 03:04 That the LORD <03068> called <07121> (8799) Samuel
<08050>: and he answered <0559> (8799), Here am I.

1Sa 03:05 And he ran <07323> (8799) unto Eli <05941>, and said
<0559> (8799), Here am I <02009>; for thou calledst <07121>
(8804) me. And he said <0559> (8799), I called <07121> (8804)
not; lie down <07901> (8798) again <07725> (8798). And he went
<03212> (8799) and lay down <07901> (8799).

1Sa 03:06 And the LORD <03068> called <07121> (8800) yet again
<03254> (8686), Samuel <08050>. And Samuel < 08050> arose <06965>
(8799) and went <03212> (8799) to Eli <05941>, and said <0559>
(8799), Here am I; for thou didst call <07121> (8804) me. And he
answered <0559> (8799), I called <07121> (8804) not, my son
<01121>; lie down <07901> (8798) again <07725> (8798).

1Sa 03:07 Now Samuel <08050> did not yet <02962> know <03045>
(8804) the LORD <03068>, neither was the word <01697> of the
LORD <03068> yet revealed <01540> (8735) unto him.

1Sa 03:08 And the LORD <03068> called <07121> (8800) Samuel
<08050> again <03254> (8686) the third time < 07992>. And he
arose <06965> (8799) and went <03212> (8799) to Eli <05941>, and
said <0559> (8799), Here am I; for thou didst call < 07121>
(8804) me. And Eli <05941> perceived <0995> (8799) that the LORD
<03068> had called <07121> (8802) the child < 05288>.

1Sa 03:09 Therefore Eli <05941> said <0559> (8799) unto Samuel
<08050>, Go <03212> (8798), lie down <07901> (8798): and it
shall be, if he call <07121> (8799) thee, that thou shalt say
<0559> (8804), Speak <01696> (8761), LORD < 03068>; for thy
servant <05650> heareth <08085> (8802). So Samuel < 08050> went
<03212> (8799) and lay down <07901> (8799) in his place <04725>.

1Sa 03:10 And the LORD <03068> came <0935> (8799), and stood
<03320> (8691), and called <07121> (8799) as at other times
<06471>, Samuel <08050>, Samuel <08050>. Then Samuel <08050>
answered <0559> (8799), Speak <01696> (8761); for thy servant
<05650> heareth <08085> (8802).

1Sa 03:11 ¶ And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) to Samuel
<08050>, Behold, I will do <06213> (8802) a thing < 01697> in
Israel <03478>, at which both <08147> the ears < 0241> of every
one that heareth <08085> (8802) it shall tingle < 06750> (8799).

1Sa 03:12 In that day <03117> I will perform <06965> (8686)
against Eli <05941> all things which I have spoken < 01696>
(8765) concerning <0413> his house <01004>: when I begin <02490>
(8687), I will also make an end <03615> (8763).

1Sa 03:13 For I have told <05046> (8689) him that I will judge
<08199> (8802) his house <01004> for <05704> ever <05769> for
the iniquity <05771> which he knoweth <03045> (8804); because
his sons <01121> made themselves vile <07043> (8764), and he
restrained <03543> (8765) them not.

1Sa 03:14 And therefore I have sworn <07650> (8738) unto the
house <01004> of Eli <05941>, that the iniquity < 05771> of Eli’s
<05941> house <01004> shall not be purged < 03722> (8691) with
sacrifice <02077> nor offering <04503> for < 05704> ever <05769>.

1Sa 03:15 And Samuel <08050> lay <07901> (8799) until the
morning <01242>, and opened <06605> (8799) the doors <01817> of
the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>. And Samuel < 08050> feared
<03372> (8804) to shew <05046> (8687) Eli < 05941> the vision
<04759>.

1Sa 03:16 Then Eli <05941> called <07121> (8799) Samuel <08050>,
and said <0559> (8799), Samuel <08050>, my son < 01121>. And he
answered <0559> (8799), Here am I.

1Sa 03:17 And he said <0559> (8799), What is the thing < 01697>
that the LORD hath said <01696> (8765) unto thee? I pray thee
hide <03582> (8762) it not from me: God <0430> do so <06213>
(8799) to thee, and more also <03254> (8686), if thou hide
<03582> (8762) any thing <01697> from me of all the things
<01697> that he said <01696> (8765) unto thee.

1Sa 03:18 And Samuel <08050> told <05046> (8686) him every whit
<01697>, and hid <03582> (8765) nothing from him. And he said
<0559> (8799), It is the LORD <03068>: let him do < 06213> (8799)
what seemeth <05869> him good <02896>.

1Sa 03:19 ¶ And Samuel <08050> grew <01431> (8799), and the LORD
<03068> was with him, and did let none of his words < 01697> fall
<05307> (8689) to the ground <0776>.

1Sa 03:20 And all Israel <03478> from Dan <01835> even to
Beersheba <0884> knew <03045> (8799) that Samuel < 08050> was
established <0539> (8737) to be a prophet <05030> of the LORD
<03068>.

1Sa 03:21 And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> (8736) again
<03254> (8686) in Shiloh <07887>: for the LORD < 03068> revealed
<01540> (8738) himself to Samuel <08050> in Shiloh <07887> by
the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>.

1Sa 04:01 ¶ And the word <01697> of Samuel <08050> came to all
Israel <03478>. Now Israel <03478> went out < 03318> (8799)
against <07125> (8800) the Philistines <06430> to battle <04421>,
and pitched <02583> (8799) beside Ebenezer <072>: and the
Philistines <06430> pitched <02583> (8804) in Aphek <0663>.

1Sa 04:02 And the Philistines <06430> put themselves in array
<06186> (8799) against <07125> (8800) Israel < 03478>: and when
they joined <05203> (8799) battle <04421>, Israel < 03478> was
smitten <05062> (8735) before <06440> the Philistines <06430>:
and they slew <05221> (8686) of the army <04634> in the field
<07704> about four <0702> thousand <0505> men <0376>.

1Sa 04:03 And when the people <05971> were come < 0935> (8799)
into the camp <04264>, the elders <02205> of Israel <03478> said
<0559> (8799), Wherefore hath the LORD <03068> smitten <05062>
(8804) us to day <03117> before <06440> the Philistines <06430>?
Let us fetch <03947> (8799) the ark <0727> of the covenant
<01285> of the LORD <03068> out of Shiloh < 07887> unto us, that,
when it cometh <0935> (8799) among <07130> us, it may save
<03467> (8686) us out of the hand <03709> of our enemies <0341>
(8802).

1Sa 04:04 So the people <05971> sent <07971> (8799) to Shiloh
<07887>, that they might bring <05375> (8799) from thence the
ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD < 03068> of hosts
<06635>, which dwelleth <03427> (8802) between the cherubims
<03742>: and the two <08147> sons <01121> of Eli <05941>, Hophni
<02652> and Phinehas <06372>, were there with the ark <0727> of
the covenant <01285> of God <0430>.

1Sa 04:05 And when the ark <0727> of the covenant < 01285> of
the LORD <03068> came <0935> (8800) into the camp < 04264>, all
Israel <03478> shouted <07321> (8686) with a great <01419> shout
<08643>, so that the earth <0776> rang again < 01949> (8735).

1Sa 04:06 And when the Philistines <06430> heard < 08085> (8799)
the noise <06963> of the shout <08643>, they said < 0559> (8799),
What meaneth the noise <06963> of this great <01419> shout
<08643> in the camp <04264> of the Hebrews < 05680>? And they
understood <03045> (8799) that the ark <0727> of the LORD
<03068> was come <0935> (8804) into the camp < 04264>.

1Sa 04:07 And the Philistines <06430> were afraid < 03372>
(8799), for they said <0559> (8804), God <0430> is come <0935>
(8804) into the camp <04264>. And they said <0559> (8799), Woe
<0188> unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore
<0865> <08032>.

1Sa 04:08 Woe <0188> unto us! who shall deliver < 05337> (8686)
us out of the hand <03027> of these mighty <0117> Gods <0430>?
these are the Gods <0430> that smote <05221> (8688) the
Egyptians <04714> with all the plagues <04347> in the wilderness
<04057>.

1Sa 04:09 Be strong <02388> (8690), and quit <01961> (8798)
yourselves like men <0582>, O ye Philistines <06430>, that ye be
not servants <05647> (8799) unto the Hebrews <05680>, as they
have been <05647> (8804) to you: quit <01961> (8804) yourselves
like men <0582>, and fight <03898> (8738).

1Sa 04:10 ¶ And the Philistines <06430> fought <03898> (8735),
and Israel <03478> was smitten <05062> (8735), and they fled
<05127> (8799) every man <0376> into his tent < 0168>: and there
was a very <03966> great <01419> slaughter < 04347>; for there
fell <05307> (8799) of Israel <03478> thirty < 07970> thousand
<0505> footmen <07273>.

1Sa 04:11 And the ark <0727> of God <0430> was taken <03947>
(8738); and the two <08147> sons <01121> of Eli < 05941>, Hophni
<02652> and Phinehas <06372>, were slain <04191> (8804).

1Sa 04:12 ¶ And there ran <07323> (8799) a man <0376> of
Benjamin <01144> out of the army <04634>, and came <0935> (8799)
to Shiloh <07887> the same day <03117> with his clothes <04055>
rent <07167> (8803), and with earth <0127> upon his head <07218>.

1Sa 04:13 And when he came <0935> (8799), lo, Eli < 05941> sat
<03427> (8802) upon a seat <03678> by the wayside < 01870>
<03027> (8675) <03197> watching <06822> (8764): for his heart
<03820> trembled <02730> for the ark <0727> of God <0430>. And
when the man <0376> came <0935> (8802) into the city <05892>,
and told <05046> (8687) it, all the city <05892> cried out
<02199> (8799).

1Sa 04:14 And when Eli <05941> heard <08085> (8799) the noise
<06963> of the crying <06818>, he said <0559> (8799), What
meaneth the noise <06963> of this tumult <01995>? And the man
<0376> came <0935> (8799) in hastily <04116> (8765), and told
<05046> (8686) Eli <05941>.

1Sa 04:15 Now Eli <05941> was ninety <08673> and eight <08083>
years <08141> old <01121>; and his eyes <05869> were dim <06965>
(8804), that he could <03201> (8804) not see <07200> (8800).

1Sa 04:16 And the man <0376> said <0559> (8799) unto Eli
<05941>, I am he that came <0935> (8802) out of the army <04634>,
and I fled <05127> (8804) to day <03117> out of the army
<04634>. And he said <0559> (8799), What is there done <01697>,
my son <01121>?

1Sa 04:17 And the messenger <01319> (8764) answered < 06030>
(8799) and said <0559> (8799), Israel <03478> is fled <05127>
(8804) before <06440> the Philistines <06430>, and there hath
been also a great <01419> slaughter <04046> among the people
<05971>, and thy two <08147> sons <01121> also, Hophni <02652>
and Phinehas <06372>, are dead <04191> (8804), and the ark
<0727> of God <0430> is taken <03947> (8738).

1Sa 04:18 And it came to pass, when he made mention <02142>
(8687) of the ark <0727> of God <0430>, that he fell <05307>
(8799) from off the seat <03678> backward <0322> by <01157> the
side <03027> of the gate <08179>, and his neck < 04665> brake
<07665> (8735), and he died <04191> (8799): for he was an old
<02204> (8804) man <0376>, and heavy <03513> (8804). And he had
judged <08199> (8804) Israel <03478> forty < 0705> years <08141>.

1Sa 04:19 ¶ And his daughter in law <03618>, Phinehas < 06372>‘
wife <0802>, was with child <02030>, near to be delivered
<03205> (8800): and when she heard <08085> (8799) the tidings
<08052> that <0413> the ark <0727> of God < 0430> was taken
<03947> (8736), and that her father in law <02524> and her
husband <0376> were dead <04191> (8804), she bowed <03766>
(8799) herself and travailed <03205> (8799); for her pains
<06735> came <02015> (8738) upon her.

1Sa 04:20 And about the time <06256> of her death < 04191>
(8800) the women that stood <05324> (8737) by her said < 01696>
(8762) unto her, Fear <03372> (8799) not; for thou hast born
<03205> (8804) a son <01121>. But she answered < 06030> (8804)
not, neither did she regard <07896> (8804) <03820> it.

1Sa 04:21 And she named <07121> (8799) the child < 05288>
Ichabod <0350>, saying <0559> (8800), The glory < 03519> is
departed <01540> (8804) from Israel <03478>: because <0413> the
ark <0727> of God <0430> was taken <03947> (8736), and because
of her father in law <02524> and her husband <0376>.

1Sa 04:22 And she said <0559> (8799), The glory < 03519> is
departed <01540> (8804) from Israel <03478>: for the ark <0727>
of God <0430> is taken <03947> (8738).

1Sa 05:01 ¶ And the Philistines <06430> took <03947> (8804) the
ark <0727> of God <0430>, and brought <0935> (8686) it from
Ebenezer <072> unto Ashdod <0795>.

1Sa 05:02 When the Philistines <06430> took <03947> (8799) the
ark <0727> of God <0430>, they brought <0935> (8686) it into the
house <01004> of Dagon <01712>, and set <03322> (8686) it by
<0681> Dagon <01712>.

1Sa 05:03 And when they of Ashdod <0796> arose early < 07925>
(8686) on the morrow <04283>, behold, Dagon <01712> was fallen
<05307> (8802) upon his face <06440> to the earth < 0776> before
<06440> the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068>. And they took
<03947> (8799) Dagon <01712>, and set <07725> <00> him in his
place <04725> again <07725> (8686).

1Sa 05:04 And when they arose early <07925> (8686) on the
morrow <04283> morning <01242>, behold, Dagon < 01712> was fallen
<05307> (8802) upon his face <06440> to the ground <0776> before
<06440> the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068>; and the head <07218>
of Dagon <01712> and both <08147> the palms < 03709> of his hands
<03027> were cut off <03772> (8803) upon the threshold <04670>;
only the stump of Dagon <01712> was left <07604> (8738) to him.

1Sa 05:05 Therefore neither the priests <03548> of Dagon
<01712>, nor any that come <0935> (8802) into Dagon’s <01712>
house <01004>, tread <01869> (8799) on the threshold <04670> of
Dagon <01712> in Ashdod <0795> unto this day < 03117>.

1Sa 05:06 ¶ But the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was heavy
<03513> (8799) upon them of Ashdod <0796>, and he destroyed
<08074> (8686) them, and smote <05221> (8686) them with emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>, even Ashdod <0795> and the coasts
<01366> thereof.

1Sa 05:07 And when the men <0582> of Ashdod <0795> saw <07200>
(8799) that it was so, they said <0559> (8804), The ark < 0727>
of the God <0430> of Israel <03478> shall not abide <03427>
(8799) with us: for his hand <03027> is sore <07185> (8804) upon
us, and upon Dagon <01712> our god <0430>.

1Sa 05:08 They sent <07971> (8799) therefore and gathered
<0622> (8799) all the lords <05633> of the Philistines <06430>
unto them, and said <0559> (8799), What shall we do < 06213>
(8799) with the ark <0727> of the God <0430> of Israel <03478>?
And they answered <0559> (8799), Let the ark <0727> of the God
<0430> of Israel <03478> be carried about < 05437> (8735) unto
Gath <01661>. And they carried <05437> <00> the ark <0727> of
the God <0430> of Israel <03478> about <05437> (8686) thither.

1Sa 05:09 And it was so, that, after <0310> they had carried it
about <05437> (8689), the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was
against the city <05892> with a very <03966> great <01419>
destruction <04103>: and he smote <05221> (8686) the men <0582>
of the city <05892>, both small <06996> and great < 01419>, and
they had emerods <02914> (8675) <06076> in their secret parts
<08368> (8735).

1Sa 05:10 Therefore they sent <07971> (8762) the ark < 0727> of
God <0430> to Ekron <06138>. And it came to pass, as the ark
<0727> of God <0430> came <0935> (8800) to Ekron <06138>, that
the Ekronites <06139> cried out <02199> (8799), saying <0559>
(8800), They have brought about <05437> (8689) the ark < 0727> of
the God <0430> of Israel <03478> to us, to slay < 04191> (8687)
us and our people <05971>.

1Sa 05:11 So they sent <07971> (8799) and gathered together
<0622> (8799) all the lords <05633> of the Philistines <06430>,
and said <0559> (8799), Send away <07971> (8761) the ark <0727>
of the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, and let it go again <07725>
(8799) to his own place <04725>, that it slay <04191> (8686) us
not, and our people <05971>: for there was a deadly < 04194>
destruction <04103> throughout all the city <05892>; the hand
<03027> of God <0430> was very <03966> heavy <03513> (8804)
there.

1Sa 05:12 And the men <0582> that died <04191> (8804) not were
smitten <05221> (8717) with the emerods <02914> (8675) <06076>:
and the cry <07775> of the city <05892> went up < 05927> (8799)
to heaven <08064>.

1Sa 06:01 ¶ And the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068> was in the
country <07704> of the Philistines <06430> seven < 07651> months
<02320>.

1Sa 06:02 And the Philistines <06430> called <07121> (8799) for
the priests <03548> and the diviners <07080> (8802), saying
<0559> (8800), What shall we do <06213> (8799) to the ark <0727>
of the LORD <03068>? tell <03045> (8685) us wherewith we shall
send <07971> (8762) it to his place <04725>.

1Sa 06:03 And they said <0559> (8799), If ye send away < 07971>
(8764) the ark <0727> of the God <0430> of Israel < 03478>, send
<07971> (8762) it not empty <07387>; but in any wise <07725>
(8687) return <07725> (8686) him a trespass offering < 0817>:
then ye shall be healed <07495> (8735), and it shall be known
<03045> (8738) to you why his hand <03027> is not removed
<05493> (8799) from you.

1Sa 06:04 Then said <0559> (8799) they, What shall be the
trespass offering <0817> which we shall return <07725> (8686) to
him? They answered <0559> (8799), Five <02568> golden <02091>
emerods <02914> (8675) <06076>, and five <02568> golden <02091>
mice <05909>, according to the number <04557> of the lords
<05633> of the Philistines <06430>: for one < 0259> plague
<04046> was on you all, and on your lords <05633>.

1Sa 06:05 Wherefore ye shall make <06213> (8804) images <06754>
of your emerods <02914> (8675) <06076>, and images <06754> of
your mice <05909> that mar <07843> (8688) the land <0776>; and
ye shall give <05414> (8804) glory <03519> unto the God <0430>
of Israel <03478>: peradventure he will lighten < 07043> (8686)
his hand <03027> from off you, and from off your gods < 0430>,
and from off your land <0776>.

1Sa 06:06 Wherefore then do ye harden <03513> (8762) your
hearts <03824>, as the Egyptians <04714> and Pharaoh <06547>
hardened <03513> (8765) their hearts <03820>? when he had
wrought wonderfully <05953> (8694) among them, did they not let
the people go <07971> (8762), and they departed < 03212> (8799)?

1Sa 06:07 Now therefore make <06213> (8798) a <0259> new
<02319> cart <05699>, and take <03947> (8798) two <08147> milch
<05763> (8802) kine <06510>, on which there hath come <05927>
(8804) no yoke <05923>, and tie <0631> (8804) the kine <06510>
to the cart <05699>, and bring <07725> (8689) their calves
<01121> home <01004> from them <0310>:

1Sa 06:08 And take <03947> (8804) the ark <0727> of the LORD
<03068>, and lay <05414> (8804) it upon the cart < 05699>; and
put <07760> (8799) the jewels <03627> of gold < 02091>, which ye
return <07725> (8689) him for a trespass offering < 0817>, in a
coffer <0712> by the side <06654> thereof; and send it away
<07971> (8765), that it may go <01980> (8804).

1Sa 06:09 And see <07200> (8804), if it goeth up < 05927> (8799)
by the way <01870> of his own coast <01366> to Bethshemesh
<01053>, then he hath done <06213> (8804) us this great <01419>
evil <07451>: but if not, then we shall know <03045> (8804) that
it is not his hand <03027> that smote <05060> (8804) us: it was
a chance <04745> that happened to us <01961> (8804).

1Sa 06:10 ¶ And the men <0582> did so <06213> (8799); and took
<03947> (8799) two <08147> milch <05763> (8802) kine <06510>,
and tied <0631> (8799) them to the cart <05699>, and shut up
<03607> (8804) their calves <01121> at home < 01004>:

1Sa 06:11 And they laid <07760> (8799) the ark <0727> of the
LORD <03068> upon the cart <05699>, and the coffer <0712> with
the mice <05909> of gold <02091> and the images < 06754> of their
emerods <02914>.

1Sa 06:12 And the kine <06510> took the straight < 03474> (8799)
way <01870> to the way <01870> of Bethshemesh < 01053>, and went
along <01980> (8804) the highway <04546> <0259>, lowing <01600>
(8800) as they went <01980> (8800), and turned not aside <05493>
(8804) to the right hand <03225> or to the left < 08040>; and the
lords <05633> of the Philistines <06430> went < 01980> (8802)
after <0310> them unto the border <01366> of Bethshemesh <01053>.

1Sa 06:13 And they of Bethshemesh <01053> were reaping < 07114>
(8802) their wheat <02406> harvest <07105> in the valley <06010>:
and they lifted up <05375> (8799) their eyes <05869>, and saw
<07200> (8799) the ark <0727>, and rejoiced < 08055> (8799) to
see <07200> (8800) it.

1Sa 06:14 And the cart <05699> came <0935> (8802) into the
field <07704> of Joshua <03091>, a Bethshemite < 01030>, and
stood <05975> (8799) there, where there was a great < 01419>
stone <068>: and they clave <01234> (8762) the wood <06086> of
the cart <05699>, and offered <05927> (8689) the kine <06510> a
burnt offering <05930> unto the LORD <03068>.

1Sa 06:15 And the Levites <03881> took down <03381> (8689) the
ark <0727> of the LORD <03068>, and the coffer < 0712> that was
with it, wherein the jewels <03627> of gold <02091> were, and
put <07760> (8799) them on the great <01419> stone <068>: and
the men <0582> of Bethshemesh <01053> offered < 05927> (8689)
burnt offerings <05930> and sacrificed <02076> (8799) sacrifices
<02077> the same day <03117> unto the LORD < 03068>.

1Sa 06:16 And when the five <02568> lords <05633> of the
Philistines <06430> had seen <07200> (8804) it, they returned
<07725> (8799) to Ekron <06138> the same day < 03117>.

1Sa 06:17 And these are the golden <02091> emerods < 02914>
which the Philistines <06430> returned <07725> (8689) for a
trespass offering <0817> unto the LORD <03068>; for Ashdod
<0795> one <0259>, for Gaza <05804> one < 0259>, for Askelon
<0831> one <0259>, for Gath <01661> one < 0259>, for Ekron
<06138> one <0259>;

1Sa 06:18 And the golden <02091> mice <05909>, according to the
number <04557> of all the cities <05892> of the Philistines
<06430> belonging to the five <02568> lords < 05633>, both of
fenced <04013> cities <05892>, and of country < 06521> villages
<03724>, even unto the great <01419> stone of Abel <059>,
whereon they set down <03240> (8689) the ark <0727> of the LORD
<03068>: which stone remaineth unto this day <03117> in the
field <07704> of Joshua <03091>, the Bethshemite < 01030>.

1Sa 06:19 ¶ And he smote <05221> (8686) the men <0376> of
Bethshemesh <01053>, because they had looked <07200> (8804) into
the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068>, even he smote < 05221> (8686)
of the people <05971> fifty <02572> thousand < 0505> and
threescore and ten <07657> men <0582>: and the people <05971>
lamented <056> (8691), because the LORD <03068> had smitten
<05221> (8689) many of the people <05971> with a great <01419>
slaughter <04347>.

1Sa 06:20 And the men <0582> of Bethshemesh <01053> said <0559>
(8799), Who is able <03201> (8799) to stand <05975> (8800)
before <06440> this holy <06918> LORD <03068> God <0430>? and to
whom shall he go up <05927> (8799) from us?

1Sa 06:21 And they sent <07971> (8799) messengers < 04397> to
the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Kirjathjearim < 07157>, saying
<0559> (8800), The Philistines <06430> have brought again
<07725> (8689) the ark <0727> of the LORD < 03068>; come ye down
<03381> (8798), and fetch it up <05927> (8685) to you.

1Sa 07:01 ¶ And the men <0582> of Kirjathjearim < 07157> came
<0935> (8799), and fetched up <05927> (8686) the ark <0727> of
the LORD <03068>, and brought <0935> (8686) it into the house
<01004> of Abinadab <041> in the hill <01389>, and sanctified
<06942> (8765) Eleazar <0499> his son <01121> to keep <08104>
(8800) the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068>.

1Sa 07:02 And it came to pass, while <03117> the ark < 0727>
abode <03427> (8800) in Kirjathjearim <07157>, that the time
<03117> was long <07235> (8799); for it was twenty <06242> years
<08141>: and all the house <01004> of Israel < 03478> lamented
<05091> (8735) after <0310> the LORD <03068>.

1Sa 07:03 ¶ And Samuel <08050> spake <0559> (8799) unto all the
house <01004> of Israel <03478>, saying <0559> (8800), If ye do
return <07725> (8802) unto the LORD <03068> with all your hearts
<03824>, then put away <05493> (8685) the strange < 05236> gods
<0430> and Ashtaroth <06252> from among <08432> you, and prepare
<03559> (8685) your hearts <03824> unto the LORD < 03068>, and
serve <05647> (8798) him only: and he will deliver < 05337>
(8686) you out of the hand <03027> of the Philistines < 06430>.

1Sa 07:04 Then the children <01121> of Israel <03478> did put
away <05493> (8686) Baalim <01168> and Ashtaroth < 06252>, and
served <05647> (8799) the LORD <03068> only.

1Sa 07:05 And Samuel <08050> said <0559> (8799), Gather <06908>
(8798) all Israel <03478> to Mizpeh <04708>, and I will pray
<06419> (8691) for you unto the LORD <03068>.

1Sa 07:06 And they gathered together <06908> (8735) to Mizpeh
<04709>, and drew <07579> (8799) water <04325>, and poured it
out <08210> (8799) before <06440> the LORD < 03068>, and fasted
<06684> (8799) on that day <03117>, and said < 0559> (8799) there,
We have sinned <02398> (8804) against the LORD < 03068>. And
Samuel <08050> judged <08199> (8799) the children < 01121> of
Israel <03478> in Mizpeh <04708>.

1Sa 07:07 ¶ And when the Philistines <06430> heard < 08085>
(8799) that the children <01121> of Israel <03478> were gathered
together <06908> (8694) to Mizpeh <04708>, the lords <05633> of
the Philistines <06430> went up <05927> (8799) against Israel
<03478>. And when the children <01121> of Israel < 03478> heard
<08085> (8799) it, they were afraid <03372> (8799) of <06440>
the Philistines <06430>.

1Sa 07:08 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> said
<0559> (8799) to Samuel <08050>, Cease <02790> (8686) not to cry
<02199> (8800) unto the LORD <03068> our God < 0430> for us, that
he will save <03467> (8686) us out of the hand <03027> of the
Philistines <06430>.

1Sa 07:09 And Samuel <08050> took <03947> (8799) a <0259>
sucking <02461> lamb <02924>, and offered < 05927> (8686) it for
a burnt offering <05930> wholly <03632> unto the LORD <03068>:
and Samuel <08050> cried <02199> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>
for Israel <03478>; and the LORD <03068> heard < 06030> (8799)
him.

1Sa 07:10 And as Samuel <08050> was offering up < 05927> (8688)
the burnt offering <05930>, the Philistines <06430> drew near
<05066> (8738) to battle <04421> against Israel < 03478>: but the
LORD <03068> thundered <07481> (8686) with a great <01419>
thunder <06963> on that day <03117> upon the Philistines <06430>,
and discomfited <02000> (8799) them; and they were smitten
<05062> (8735) before <06440> Israel <03478>.

1Sa 07:11 And the men <0582> of Israel <03478> went out <03318>
(8799) of Mizpeh <04709>, and pursued <07291> (8799) the
Philistines <06430>, and smote <05221> (8686) them, until they
came under Bethcar <01033>.

1Sa 07:12 Then Samuel <08050> took <03947> (8799) a <0259>
stone <068>, and set <07760> (8799) it between Mizpeh <04709>
and Shen <08129>, and called <07121> (8799) the name <08034> of
it Ebenezer <072>, saying <0559> (8799), Hitherto hath the LORD
<03068> helped <05826> (8804) us.

1Sa 07:13 ¶ So the Philistines <06430> were subdued < 03665>
(8735), and they came <0935> (8800) no more <03254> (8804) into
the coast <01366> of Israel <03478>: and the hand < 03027> of the
LORD <03068> was against the Philistines <06430> all the days
<03117> of Samuel <08050>.

1Sa 07:14 And the cities <05892> which the Philistines < 06430>
had taken <03947> (8804) from Israel <03478> were restored
<07725> (8799) to Israel <03478>, from Ekron < 06138> even unto
Gath <01661>; and the coasts <01366> thereof did Israel <03478>
deliver <05337> (8689) out of the hands <03027> of the
Philistines <06430>. And there was peace <07965> between Israel
<03478> and the Amorites <0567>.

1Sa 07:15 And Samuel <08050> judged <08199> (8799) Israel
<03478> all the days <03117> of his life <02416> .

1Sa 07:16 And he went <01980> (8804) from <01767> year <08141>
to year <08141> in circuit <05437> (8804) to Bethel <01008>, and
Gilgal <01537>, and Mizpeh <04709>, and judged < 08199> (8804)
Israel <03478> in all those places <04725>.

1Sa 07:17 And his return <08666> was to Ramah <07414> ; for
there was his house <01004>; and there he judged < 08199> (8804)
Israel <03478>; and there he built <01129> (8799) an altar
<04196> unto the LORD <03068>.

1Sa 08:01 ¶ And it came to pass, when Samuel <08050> was old
<02204> (8804), that he made <07760> (8799) his sons <01121>
judges <08199> (8802) over Israel <03478>.

1Sa 08:02 Now the name <08034> of his firstborn < 01121> <01060>
was Joel <03100>; and the name <08034> of his second <04932>,
Abiah <029>: they were judges <08199> (8802) in Beersheba <0884>.

1Sa 08:03 And his sons <01121> walked <01980> (8804) not in his
ways <01870>, but turned aside <05186> (8799) after <0310> lucre
<01215>, and took <03947> (8799) bribes <07810>, and perverted
<05186> (8686) judgment <04941>.

1Sa 08:04 ¶ Then all the elders <02205> of Israel < 03478>
gathered themselves together <06908> (8691), and came < 0935>
(8799) to Samuel <08050> unto Ramah <07414>,

1Sa 08:05 And said <0559> (8799) unto him, Behold, thou art old
<02204> (8804), and thy sons <01121> walk < 01980> (8804) not in
thy ways <01870>: now make <07760> (8798) us a king <04428> to
judge <08199> (8800) us like all the nations <01471>.

1Sa 08:06 But the thing <01697> displeased <03415> (8799)
<05869> Samuel <08050>, when they said <0559> (8804), Give
<05414> (8798) us a king <04428> to judge < 08199> (8800) us. And
Samuel <08050> prayed <06419> (8691) unto the LORD <03068>.

1Sa 08:07 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto Samuel
<08050>, Hearken <08085> (8798) unto the voice < 06963> of the
people <05971> in all that they say <0559> (8799) unto thee: for
they have not rejected <03988> (8804) thee, but they have
rejected <03988> (8804) me, that I should not reign < 04427>
(8800) over them.

1Sa 08:08 According to all the works <04639> which they have
done <06213> (8804) since the day <03117> that I brought them up
<05927> (8687) out of Egypt <04714> even unto this day <03117>,
wherewith they have forsaken <05800> (8799) me, and served
<05647> (8799) other <0312> gods <0430>, so do <06213> (8802)
they also unto thee.

1Sa 08:09 Now therefore hearken <08085> (8798) unto their voice
<06963>: howbeit <0389> yet protest <05749> (8686) solemnly
<05749> (8687) unto them, and shew <05046> (8689) them the
manner <04941> of the king <04428> that shall reign <04427>
(8799) over them.

1Sa 08:10 And Samuel <08050> told <0559> (8799) all the words
<01697> of the LORD <03068> unto the people < 05971> that asked
<07592> (8802) of him a king <04428>.

1Sa 08:11 And he said <0559> (8799), This will be the manner
<04941> of the king <04428> that shall reign < 04427> (8799) over
you: He will take <03947> (8799) your sons <01121>, and appoint
<07760> (8804) them for himself, for his chariots < 04818>, and
to be his horsemen <06571>; and some shall run <07323> (8804)
before <06440> his chariots <04818>.

1Sa 08:12 And he will appoint <07760> (8800) him captains
<08269> over thousands <0505>, and captains < 08269> over fifties
<02572>; and will set them to ear <02790> (8800) his ground
<02758>, and to reap <07114> (8800) his harvest < 07105>, and to
make <06213> (8800) his instruments <03627> of war <04421>, and
instruments <03627> of his chariots <07393>.

1Sa 08:13 And he will take <03947> (8799) your daughters
<01323> to be confectionaries <07548>, and to be cooks <02879>,
and to be bakers <0644> (8802).

1Sa 08:14 And he will take <03947> (8799) your fields < 07704>,
and your vineyards <03754>, and your oliveyards < 02132>, even
the best <02896> of them, and give <05414> (8804) them to his
servants <05650>.

1Sa 08:15 And he will take the tenth <06237> (8799) of your
seed <02233>, and of your vineyards <03754>, and give <05414>
(8804) to his officers <05631>, and to his servants < 05650>.

1Sa 08:16 And he will take <03947> (8799) your menservants
<05650>, and your maidservants <08198>, and your goodliest
<02896> young men <0970>, and your asses <02543> , and put
<06213> (8804) them to his work <04399>.

1Sa 08:17 He will take the tenth <06237> (8799) of your sheep
<06629>: and ye shall be his servants <05650>.

1Sa 08:18 And ye shall cry out <02199> (8804) in that day
<03117> because <06440> of your king <04428> which ye shall have
chosen <0977> (8804) you; and the LORD <03068> will not hear
<06030> (8799) you in that day <03117>.

1Sa 08:19 Nevertheless the people <05971> refused < 03985>
(8762) to obey <08085> (8800) the voice <06963> of Samuel
<08050>; and they said <0559> (8799), Nay; but we will have a
king <04428> over us;

1Sa 08:20 That we also may be like all the nations <01471>; and
that our king <04428> may judge <08199> (8804) us, and go out
<03318> (8804) before <06440> us, and fight < 03898> (8738) our
battles <04421>.

1Sa 08:21 And Samuel <08050> heard <08085> (8799) all the words
<01697> of the people <05971>, and he rehearsed < 01696> (8762)
them in the ears <0241> of the LORD <03068>.

1Sa 08:22 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) to Samuel
<08050>, Hearken <08085> (8798) unto their voice < 06963>, and
make <04427> (8689) them a king <04428>. And Samuel <08050> said
<0559> (8799) unto the men <0582> of Israel < 03478>, Go <03212>
(8798) ye every man <0376> unto his city <05892>.

1Sa 09:01 ¶ Now there was a man <0376> of Benjamin < 01144>,
whose name <08034> was Kish <07027>, the son < 01121> of Abiel
<022>, the son <01121> of Zeror <06872>, the son <01121> of
Bechorath <01064>, the son <01121> of Aphiah < 0647>, a Benjamite
<01145>, a mighty <01368> man <0376> of power <02428>.

1Sa 09:02 And he had a son <01121>, whose name < 08034> was Saul
<07586>, a choice young man <0970>, and a goodly < 02896>: and
there was not among the children <01121> of Israel < 03478> a
goodlier <02896> person <0376> than he: from his shoulders
<07926> and upward <04605> he was higher <01364> than any of the
people <05971>.

1Sa 09:03 ¶ And the asses <0860> of Kish <07027> Saul’s <07586>
father <01> were lost <06> (8799). And Kish < 07027> said <0559>
(8799) to Saul <07586> his son <01121>, Take < 03947> (8798) now
one <0259> of the servants <05288> with thee, and arise <06965>
(8798), go <03212> (8798) seek <01245> (8761) the asses <0860>.

1Sa 09:04 And he passed through <05674> (8799) mount < 02022>
Ephraim <0669>, and passed through <05674> (8799) the land
<0776> of Shalisha <08031>, but they found < 04672> (8804) them
not: then they passed through <05674> (8799) the land < 0776> of
Shalim <08171>, and there they were not: and he passed through
<05674> (8799) the land <0776> of the Benjamites < 01145>, but
they found <04672> (8804) them not.

1Sa 09:05 And when they were come <0935> (8804) to the land
<0776> of Zuph <06689>, Saul <07586> said < 0559> (8804) to his
servant <05288> that was with him, Come <03212> (8798), and let
us return <07725> (8799); lest my father <01> leave <02308>
(8799) caring for the asses <0860>, and take thought < 01672>
(8804) for us.

1Sa 09:06 And he said <0559> (8799) unto him, Behold now, there
is in this city <05892> a man <0376> of God < 0430>, and he is an
honourable <03513> (8737) man <0376>; all that he saith <01696>
(8762) cometh <0935> (8799) surely to pass <0935> (8800): now
let us go <03212> (8799) thither; peradventure he can shew
<05046> (8686) us our way <01870> that we should go <01980>
(8804).

1Sa 09:07 Then said <0559> (8799) Saul <07586> to his servant
<05288>, But, behold, if we go <03212> (8799), what shall we
bring <0935> (8686) the man <0376>? for the bread < 03899> is
spent <0235> (8804) in our vessels <03627>, and there is not a
present <08670> to bring <0935> (8687) to the man < 0376> of God
<0430>: what have we?

1Sa 09:08 And the servant <05288> answered <06030> (8800) Saul
<07586> again <03254> (8686), and said <0559> (8799), Behold, I
have <04672> (8738) here at hand <03027> the fourth part <07253>
of a shekel <08255> of silver <03701>: that will I give <05414>
(8804) to the man <0376> of God <0430>, to tell < 05046> (8689)
us our way <01870>.

1Sa 09:09 (Beforetime <06440> in Israel <03478>, when a man
<0376> went <03212> (8800) to enquire <01875> (8800) of God
<0430>, thus he spake <0559> (8804), Come < 03212> (8798), and
let us go <03212> (8799) to the seer <07200> (8802): for he that
is now <03117> called a Prophet <05030> was beforetime <06440>
called <07121> (8735) a Seer <07200> (8802).)

1Sa 09:10 Then said <01697> Saul <07586> to his servant <05288>,
Well <02896> said <0559> (8799); come <03212> (8798), let us go
<03212> (8799). So they went <03212> (8799) unto the city
<05892> where the man <0376> of God <0430> was.

1Sa 09:11 ¶ And as they went up <05927> (8802) the hill < 04608>
to the city <05892>, they found <04672> (8804) young maidens
<05291> going out <03318> (8802) to draw <07579> (8800) water
<04325>, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Is < 03426> the seer
<07200> (8802) here?

1Sa 09:12 And they answered <06030> (8799) them, and said
<0559> (8799), He is <03426>; behold, he is before <06440> you:
make haste <04116> (8761) now, for he came <0935> (8804) to day
<03117> to the city <05892>; for there is a sacrifice <02077> of
the people <05971> to day <03117> in the high place <01116>:

1Sa 09:13 As soon as ye be come <0935> (8800) into the city
<05892>, ye shall straightway <03651> find < 04672> (8799) him,
before he go up <05927> (8799) to the high place < 01116> to eat
<0398> (8800): for the people <05971> will not eat <0398> (8799)
until he come <0935> (8800), because he doth bless < 01288>
(8762) the sacrifice <02077>; and afterwards <0310> <03651> they
eat <0398> (8799) that be bidden <07121> (8803). Now therefore
get you up <05927> (8798); for about this time <03117> ye shall
find <04672> (8799) him.

1Sa 09:14 And they went up <05927> (8799) into < 08432> the city
<05892>: and when they were come <0935> (8802) into the city
<05892>, behold, Samuel <08050> came out <03318> (8802) against
<07125> (8800) them, for to go up <05927> (8800) to the high
place <01116>.

1Sa 09:15 Now the LORD <03068> had told <01540> (8804) Samuel
<08050> in his ear <0241> a <0259> day < 03117> before <06440>
Saul <07586> came <0935> (8800), saying <0559> (8800),

1Sa 09:16 To morrow <04279> about this time <06256> I will send
<07971> (8799) thee a man <0376> out of the land < 0776> of
Benjamin <01144>, and thou shalt anoint <04886> (8804) him to be
captain <05057> over my people <05971> Israel < 03478>, that he
may save <03467> (8689) my people <05971> out of the hand
<03027> of the Philistines <06430>: for I have looked <07200>
(8804) upon my people <05971>, because their cry < 06818> is come
<0935> (8804) unto me.

1Sa 09:17 And when Samuel <08050> saw <07200> (8804) Saul
<07586>, the LORD <03068> said <06030> (8804) unto him, Behold
the man <0376> whom I spake <0559> (8804) to thee of! this same
shall reign <06113> (8799) over my people <05971>.

1Sa 09:18 ¶ Then Saul <07586> drew near <05066> (8799) to Samuel
<08050> in <08432> the gate <08179>, and said <0559> (8799),
Tell <05046> (8685) me, I pray thee, where <0335> the seer’s
<07200> (8802) house <01004> is.

1Sa 09:19 And Samuel <08050> answered <06030> (8799) Saul
<07586>, and said <0559> (8799), I am the seer < 07200> (8802):
go up <05927> (8798) before <06440> me unto the high place
<01116>; for ye shall eat <0398> (8804) with me to day <03117>,
and to morrow <01242> I will let thee go <07971> (8765), and
will tell <05046> (8686) thee all that is in thine heart <03824>.

1Sa 09:20 And as for thine asses <0860> that were lost < 06>
(8802) three <07969> days <03117> ago <03117>, set <07760>
(8799) not thy mind <03820> on them; for they are found < 04672>
(8738). And on whom is all the desire <02532> of Israel < 03478>?
Is it not on thee, and on all thy father’s <01> house < 01004>?

1Sa 09:21 And Saul <07586> answered <06030> (8799) and said
<0559> (8799), Am not I a Benjamite <01145>, of the smallest
<06996> of the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478> ? and my family
<04940> the least <06810> of all the families < 04940> of the
tribe <07626> of Benjamin <01144>? wherefore then speakest
<01696> (8765) thou so <01697> to me?

1Sa 09:22 And Samuel <08050> took <03947> (8799) Saul <07586>
and his servant <05288>, and brought <0935> (8686) them into the
parlour <03957>, and made them sit <05414> (8799) in the
chiefest <07218> place <04725> among them that were bidden
<07121> (8803), which were about thirty <07970> persons <0376>.

1Sa 09:23 And Samuel <08050> said <0559> (8799) unto the cook
<02876>, Bring <05414> (8798) the portion < 04490> which I gave
<05414> (8804) thee, of which I said <0559> (8804) unto thee,
Set <07760> (8798) it by thee.

1Sa 09:24 And the cook <02876> took up <07311> (8686) the
shoulder <07785>, and that which was upon it, and set < 07760>
(8799) it before <06440> Saul <07586>. And Samuel said <0559>
(8799), Behold that which is left <07604> (8737)! set < 07760>
(8798) it before <06440> thee, and eat <0398> (8798): for unto
this time <04150> hath it been kept <08104> (8803) for thee
since I said <0559> (8800), I have invited <07121> (8804) the
people <05971>. So Saul <07586> did eat <0398> (8799) with
Samuel <08050> that day <03117>.

1Sa 09:25 And when they were come down <03381> (8799) from the
high place <01116> into the city <05892>, Samuel communed
<01696> (8762) with Saul <07586> upon the top of the house
<01406>.

1Sa 09:26 And they arose early <07925> (8686): and it came to
pass about the spring <05927> (8800) of the day < 07837>, that
Samuel <08050> called <07121> (8799) Saul < 07586> to the top of
the house <01406>, saying <0559> (8800), Up < 06965> (8798), that
I may send thee away <07971> (8762). And Saul <07586> arose
<06965> (8799), and they went out <03318> (8799) both <08147> of
them, he and Samuel <08050>, abroad <02351>.

1Sa 09:27 And as they were going down <03381> (8802) to the end
<07097> of the city <05892>, Samuel <08050> said <0559> (8804)
to Saul <07586>, Bid <0559> (8798) the servant < 05288> pass on
<05674> (8799) before <06440> us, (and he passed on <05674>
(8798),) but stand <05975> (8798) thou still a while < 03117>,
that I may shew <08085> (8686) thee the word <01697> of God
<0430>.

1Sa 10:01 ¶ Then Samuel <08050> took <03947> (8799) a vial
<06378> of oil <08081>, and poured <03332> (8799) it upon his
head <07218>, and kissed <05401> (8799) him, and said <0559>
(8799), Is it not because the LORD <03068> hath anointed <04886>
(8804) thee to be captain <05057> over his inheritance < 05159>?

1Sa 10:02 When thou art departed <03212> (8800) from me <05978>
to day <03117>, then thou shalt find <04672> (8804) two <08147>
men <0582> by Rachel’s <07354> sepulchre <06900> in the border
<01366> of Benjamin <01144> at Zelzah <06766>; and they will say
<0559> (8804) unto thee, The asses <0860> which thou wentest
<01980> (8804) to seek <01245> (8763) are found < 04672> (8738):
and, lo, thy father <01> hath left <05203> (8804) the care
<01697> of the asses <0860>, and sorroweth < 01672> (8804) for
you, saying <0559> (8800), What shall I do <06213> (8799) for my
son <01121>?

1Sa 10:03 Then shalt thou go on <02498> (8804) forward < 01973>
from thence, and thou shalt come <0935> (8804) to the plain
<0436> of Tabor <08396>, and there shall meet < 04672> (8804)
thee three <07969> men <0582> going up <05927> (8802) to God
<0430> to Bethel <01008>, one <0259> carrying <05375> (8802)
three <07969> kids <01423>, and another <0259> carrying <05375>
(8802) three <07969> loaves <03603> of bread < 03899>, and
another <0259> carrying <05375> (8802) a bottle < 05035> of wine
<03196>:

1Sa 10:04 And they will <07592> (8804) salute <07965> thee, and
give <05414> (8804) thee two <08147> loaves of bread <03899>;
which thou shalt receive <03947> (8804) of their hands < 03027>.

1Sa 10:05 After <0310> that thou shalt come <0935> (8799) to
the hill <01389> of God <0430>, where is the garrison <05333> of
the Philistines <06430>: and it shall come to pass, when thou
art come thither <0935> (8800) to the city <05892>, that thou
shalt meet <06293> (8804) a company <02256> of prophets <05030>
coming down <03381> (8802) from the high place <01116> with a
psaltery <05035>, and a tabret <08596>, and a pipe <02485>, and
a harp <03658>, before <06440> them; and they shall prophesy
<05012> (8693):

1Sa 10:06 And the Spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> will come
<06743> (8804) upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy < 05012> (8694)
with them, and shalt be turned <02015> (8738) into another
<0312> man <0376>.

1Sa 10:07 And let it be, when these signs <0226> are come
<0935> (8799) unto thee, that thou do <06213> (8798) as occasion
<04672> (8799) serve <03027> thee; for God < 0430> is with thee.

1Sa 10:08 And thou shalt go down <03381> (8804) before < 06440>
me to Gilgal <01537>; and, behold, I will come down < 03381>
(8802) unto thee, to offer <05927> (8687) burnt offerings
<05930>, and to sacrifice <02076> (8800) sacrifices <02077> of
peace offerings <08002>: seven <07651> days < 03117> shalt thou
tarry <03176> (8686), till I come <0935> (8800) to thee, and
shew <03045> (8689) thee what thou shalt do <06213> (8799).

1Sa 10:09 ¶ And it was so, that when he had turned <06437>
(8687) his back <07926> to go <03212> (8800) from Samuel <08050>,
God <0430> gave <02015> (8799) him another < 0312> heart <03820>:
and all those signs <0226> came <0935> (8799) to pass that day
<03117>.

1Sa 10:10 And when they came <0935> (8799) thither to the hill
<01389>, behold, a company <02256> of prophets < 05030> met
<07125> (8800) him; and the Spirit <07307> of God < 0430> came
<06743> (8799) upon him, and he prophesied <05012> (8691) among
<08432> them.

1Sa 10:11 And it came to pass, when all that knew <03045>
(8802) him beforetime <0865> <08032> saw <07200> (8799) that,
behold, he prophesied <05012> (8738) among the prophets < 05030>,
then the people <05971> said <0559> (8799) one < 0376> to another
<07453>, What is this that is come unto the son < 01121> of Kish
<07027>? Is Saul <07586> also among the prophets < 05030>?

1Sa 10:12 And one <0376> of the same place answered < 06030>
(8799) and said <0559> (8799), But who is their father < 01>?
Therefore it became a proverb <04912>, Is Saul <07586> also
among the prophets <05030>?

1Sa 10:13 And when he had made an end <03615> (8762) of
prophesying <05012> (8692), he came <0935> (8799) to the high
place <01116>.

1Sa 10:14 And Saul’s <07586> uncle <01730> said < 0559> (8799)
unto him and to his servant <05288>, Whither <0575> went <01980>
(8804) ye? And he said <0559> (8799), To seek <01245> (8763) the
asses <0860>: and when we saw <07200> (8799) that they were no
where <0369>, we came <0935> (8799) to Samuel < 08050>.

1Sa 10:15 And Saul’s <07586> uncle <01730> said < 0559> (8799),
Tell <05046> (8685) me, I pray thee, what Samuel < 08050> said
<0559> (8804) unto you.

1Sa 10:16 And Saul <07586> said <0559> (8799) unto his uncle
<01730>, He told <05046> (8689) us plainly < 05046> (8687) that
the asses <0860> were found <04672> (8738). But of the matter
<01697> of the kingdom <04410>, whereof Samuel < 08050> spake
<0559> (8804), he told <05046> (8689) him not.

1Sa 10:17 ¶ And Samuel <08050> called <06817> (8686) the people
<05971> together unto the LORD <03068> to Mizpeh < 04709>;

1Sa 10:18 And said <0559> (8799) unto the children < 01121> of
Israel <03478>, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD < 03068> God
<0430> of Israel <03478>, I brought up <05927> (8689) Israel
<03478> out of Egypt <04714>, and delivered < 05337> (8686) you
out of the hand <03027> of the Egyptians <04714>, and out of the
hand <03027> of all kingdoms <04467>, and of them that oppressed
<03905> (8801) you:

1Sa 10:19 And ye have this day <03117> rejected < 03988> (8804)
your God <0430>, who himself saved <03467> (8688) you out of all
your adversities <07451> and your tribulations <06869> ; and ye
have said <0559> (8799) unto him, Nay, but set <07760> (8799) a
king <04428> over us. Now therefore present <03320> (8690)
yourselves before <06440> the LORD <03068> by your tribes
<07626>, and by your thousands <0505>.

1Sa 10:20 And when Samuel <08050> had caused all the tribes
<07626> of Israel <03478> to come near <07126> (8686), the tribe
<07626> of Benjamin <01144> was taken <03920> (8735).

1Sa 10:21 When he had caused the tribe <07626> of Benjamin
<01144> to come near <07126> (8686) by their families <04940>,
the family <04940> of Matri <04309> was taken < 03920> (8735),
and Saul <07586> the son <01121> of Kish <07027> was taken
<03920> (8735): and when they sought <01245> (8762) him, he
could not be found <04672> (8738).

1Sa 10:22 Therefore they enquired <07592> (8799) of the LORD
<03068> further, if the man <0376> should yet come <0935> (8804)
thither <01988>. And the LORD <03068> answered < 0559> (8799),
Behold, he hath hid <02244> (8737) himself among the stuff
<03627>.

1Sa 10:23 And they ran <07323> (8799) and fetched < 03947>
(8799) him thence: and when he stood <03320> (8691) among
<08432> the people <05971>, he was higher < 01361> (8799) than
any of the people <05971> from his shoulders <07926> and upward
<04605>.

1Sa 10:24 And Samuel <08050> said <0559> (8799) to all the
people <05971>, See <07200> (8804) ye him whom the LORD <03068>
hath chosen <0977> (8804), that there is none like him among all
the people <05971>? And all the people <05971> shouted <07321>
(8686), and said <0559> (8799), God save <02421> (8799) the king
<04428>.

1Sa 10:25 Then Samuel <08050> told <01696> (8762) the people
<05971> the manner <04941> of the kingdom < 04410>, and wrote
<03789> (8799) it in a book <05612>, and laid it up <03240>
(8686) before <06440> the LORD <03068>. And Samuel <08050> sent
<07971> <00> all the people <05971> away < 07971> (8762), every
man <0376> to his house <01004>.

1Sa 10:26 And Saul <07586> also went <01980> (8804) home
<01004> to Gibeah <01390>; and there went < 03212> (8799) with
him a band of men <02428>, whose hearts <03820> God <0430> had
touched <05060> (8804).

1Sa 10:27 But the children <01121> of Belial <01100> said
<0559> (8804), How shall this man save <03467> (8686) us? And
they despised <0959> (8799) him, and brought <0935> (8689) him
no presents <04503>. But he held his peace <02790> (8688).

1Sa 11:01 ¶ Then Nahash <05176> the Ammonite <05984> came up
<05927> (8799), and encamped <02583> (8799) against Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>: and all the men <0582> of Jabesh <03003> said
<0559> (8799) unto Nahash <05176>, Make <03772> (8798) a
covenant <01285> with us, and we will serve <05647> (8799) thee.

1Sa 11:02 And Nahash <05176> the Ammonite <05984> answered
<0559> (8799) them, On this <02063> condition will I make
<03772> (8799) a covenant with you, that I may thrust out
<05365> (8800) all your right <03225> eyes < 05869>, and lay
<07760> (8804) it for a reproach <02781> upon all Israel <03478>.

1Sa 11:03 And the elders <02205> of Jabesh <03003> said <0559>
(8799) unto him, Give us seven <07651> days <03117>‘ respite
<07503> (8685), that we may send <07971> (8799) messengers
<04397> unto all the coasts <01366> of Israel < 03478>: and then,
if there be no man to save <03467> (8688) us, we will come out
<03318> (8804) to thee.

1Sa 11:04 Then came <0935> (8799) the messengers < 04397> to
Gibeah <01390> of Saul <07586>, and told <01696> (8762) the
tidings <01697> in the ears <0241> of the people < 05971>: and
all the people <05971> lifted up <05375> (8799) their voices
<06963>, and wept <01058> (8799).

1Sa 11:05 ¶ And, behold, Saul <07586> came <0935> (8804) after
<0310> the herd <01241> out of the field <07704> ; and Saul
<07586> said <0559> (8799), What aileth the people <05971> that
they weep <01058> (8799)? And they told <05608> (8762) him the
tidings <01697> of the men <0582> of Jabesh < 03003>.

1Sa 11:06 And the Spirit <07307> of God <0430> came <06743>
(8799) upon Saul <07586> when he heard <08085> (8800) those
tidings <01697>, and his anger <0639> was kindled < 02734> (8799)
greatly <03966>.

1Sa 11:07 And he took <03947> (8799) a yoke <06776> of oxen
<01241>, and hewed them in pieces <05408> (8762), and sent
<07971> (8762) them throughout all the coasts <01366> of Israel
<03478> by the hands <03027> of messengers < 04397>, saying
<0559> (8800), Whosoever cometh not forth <03318> (8802) after
<0310> Saul <07586> and after <0310> Samuel < 08050>, so shall it
be done <06213> (8735) unto his oxen <01241>. And the fear
<06343> of the LORD <03068> fell <05307> (8799) on the people
<05971>, and they came out <03318> (8799) with one <0259>
consent <0376>.

1Sa 11:08 And when he numbered <06485> (8799) them in Bezek
<0966>, the children <01121> of Israel <03478> were three
<07969> hundred <03967> thousand <0505>, and the men <0376> of
Judah <03063> thirty <07970> thousand <0505>.

1Sa 11:09 And they said <0559> (8799) unto the messengers
<04397> that came <0935> (8802), Thus shall ye say <0559> (8799)
unto the men <0376> of Jabeshgilead <03003> < 01568>, To morrow
<04279>, by that time the sun <08121> be hot < 02527>, ye shall
have help <08668>. And the messengers <04397> came <0935> (8799)
and shewed <05046> (8686) it to the men <0582> of Jabesh <03003>;
and they were glad <08055> (8799).

1Sa 11:10 Therefore the men <0582> of Jabesh <03003> said
<0559> (8799), To morrow <04279> we will come out < 03318> (8799)
unto you, and ye shall do <06213> (8804) with us all that
seemeth <05869> good <02896> unto you.

1Sa 11:11 And it was so on the morrow <04283>, that Saul
<07586> put <07760> (8799) the people <05971> in three <07969>
companies <07218>; and they came <0935> (8799) into the midst
<08432> of the host <04264> in the morning < 01242> watch <0821>,
and slew <05221> (8686) the Ammonites <05983> until the heat
<02527> of the day <03117>: and it came to pass, that they which
remained <07604> (8737) were scattered <06327> (8799), so that
two <08147> of them were not left <07604> (8738) together
<03162>.

1Sa 11:12 ¶ And the people <05971> said <0559> (8799) unto
Samuel <08050>, Who is he that said <0559> (8802), Shall Saul
<07586> reign <04427> (8799) over us? bring < 05414> (8798) the
men <0582>, that we may put them to death <04191> (8686).

1Sa 11:13 And Saul <07586> said <0559> (8799), There shall not
a man <0376> be put to death <04191> (8714) this day <03117>:
for to day <03117> the LORD <03068> hath wrought < 06213> (8804)
salvation <08668> in Israel <03478>.

1Sa 11:14 Then said <0559> (8799) Samuel <08050> to the people
<05971>, Come <03212> (8798), and let us go < 03212> (8799) to
Gilgal <01537>, and renew <02318> (8762) the kingdom <04410>
there.

1Sa 11:15 And all the people <05971> went <03212> (8799) to
Gilgal <01537>; and there they made Saul <07586> king <04427>
(8686) before <06440> the LORD <03068> in Gilgal < 01537>; and
there they sacrificed <02076> (8799) sacrifices < 02077> of peace
offerings <08002> before <06440> the LORD < 03068>; and there
Saul <07586> and all the men <0582> of Israel < 03478> rejoiced
<08055> (8799) greatly <03966>.

1Sa 12:01 ¶ And Samuel <08050> said <0559> (8799) unto all
Israel <03478>, Behold, I have hearkened <08085> (8804) unto
your voice <06963> in all that ye said <0559> (8804) unto me,
and have made <04427> (8686) a king <04428> over you.

1Sa 12:02 And now, behold, the king <04428> walketh < 01980>
(8693) before <06440> you: and I am old <02204> (8804) and
grayheaded <07867> (8804); and, behold, my sons < 01121> are with
you: and I have walked <01980> (8694) before <06440> you from my
childhood <05271> unto this day <03117>.

1Sa 12:03 Behold, here I am: witness <06030> (8798) against me
before the LORD <03068>, and before his anointed < 04899>: whose
ox <07794> have I taken <03947> (8804)? or whose ass <02543>
have I taken <03947> (8804)? or whom have I defrauded < 06231>
(8804)? whom have I oppressed <07533> (8804)? or of whose hand
<03027> have I received any bribe <03724> to blind <05956>
(8686) mine eyes <05869> therewith? and I will restore < 07725>
(8686) it you.

1Sa 12:04 And they said <0559> (8799), Thou hast not defrauded
<06231> (8804) us, nor oppressed <07533> (8804) us, neither hast
thou taken <03947> (8804) ought <03972> of any man’s <0376> hand
<03027>.

1Sa 12:05 And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, The LORD <03068>
is witness <05707> against you, and his anointed < 04899> is
witness <05707> this day <03117>, that ye have not found <04672>
(8804) ought <03972> in my hand <03027>. And they answered
<0559> (8799), He is witness <05707>.

1Sa 12:06 ¶ And Samuel <08050> said <0559> (8799) unto the
people <05971>, It is the LORD <03068> that advanced <06213>
(8804) Moses <04872> and Aaron <0175>, and that brought <05927>
<00> your fathers <01> up <05927> (8689) out of the land <0776>
of Egypt <04714>.

1Sa 12:07 Now therefore stand still <03320> (8690), that I may
reason <08199> (8735) with you before <06440> the LORD <03068>
of all the righteous acts <06666> of the LORD <03068>, which he
did <06213> (8804) to you and to your fathers <01>.

1Sa 12:08 When Jacob <03290> was come <0935> (8804) into Egypt
<04714>, and your fathers <01> cried <02199> (8799) unto the
LORD <03068>, then the LORD <03068> sent <07971> (8799) Moses
<04872> and Aaron <0175>, which brought forth < 03318> (8686)
your fathers <01> out of Egypt <04714>, and made them dwell
<03427> (8686) in this place <04725>.

1Sa 12:09 And when they forgat <07911> (8799) the LORD < 03068>
their God <0430>, he sold <04376> (8799) them into the hand
<03027> of Sisera <05516>, captain <08269> of the host <06635>
of Hazor <02674>, and into the hand <03027> of the Philistines
<06430>, and into the hand <03027> of the king < 04428> of Moab
<04124>, and they fought <03898> (8735) against them.

1Sa 12:10 And they cried <02199> (8799) unto the LORD < 03068>,
and said <0559> (8799), We have sinned <02398> (8804), because
we have forsaken <05800> (8804) the LORD <03068>, and have
served <05647> (8799) Baalim <01168> and Ashtaroth <06252>: but
now deliver <05337> (8685) us out of the hand <03027> of our
enemies <0341> (8802), and we will serve <05647> (8799) thee.

1Sa 12:11 And the LORD <03068> sent <07971> (8799) Jerubbaal
<03378>, and Bedan <0917>, and Jephthah <03316>, and Samuel
<08050>, and delivered <05337> (8686) you out of the hand
<03027> of your enemies <0341> (8802) on every side <05439>, and
ye dwelled <03427> (8799) safe <0983>.

1Sa 12:12 And when ye saw <07200> (8799) that Nahash < 05176>
the king <04428> of the children <01121> of Ammon < 05983> came
<0935> (8804) against you, ye said <0559> (8799) unto me, Nay;
but a king <04428> shall reign <04427> (8799) over us: when the
LORD <03068> your God <0430> was your king < 04428>.

1Sa 12:13 Now therefore behold the king <04428> whom ye have
chosen <0977> (8804), and whom ye have desired <07592> (8804)!
and, behold, the LORD <03068> hath set <05414> (8804) a king
<04428> over you.

1Sa 12:14 If ye will fear <03372> (8799) the LORD < 03068>, and
serve <05647> (8804) him, and obey <08085> (8804) his voice
<06963>, and not rebel <04784> (8686) against the commandment
<06310> of the LORD <03068>, then shall both ye and also the
king <04428> that reigneth <04427> (8804) over you continue
following <0310> the LORD <03068> your God < 0430>:

1Sa 12:15 But if ye will not obey <08085> (8799) the voice
<06963> of the LORD <03068>, but rebel <04784> (8804) against
the commandment <06310> of the LORD <03068>, then shall the hand
<03027> of the LORD <03068> be against you, as it was against
your fathers <01>.

1Sa 12:16 ¶ Now therefore <01571> stand <03320> (8690) and see
<07200> (8798) this great <01419> thing <01697>, which the LORD
<03068> will do <06213> (8802) before your eyes < 05869>.

1Sa 12:17 Is it not wheat <02406> harvest <07105> to day
<03117>? I will call <07121> (8799) unto the LORD < 03068>, and
he shall send <05414> (8799) thunder <06963> and rain <04306>;
that ye may perceive <03045> (8798) and see <07200> (8798) that
your wickedness <07451> is great <07227>, which ye have done
<06213> (8804) in the sight <05869> of the LORD < 03068>, in
asking <07592> (8800) you a king <04428>.

1Sa 12:18 So Samuel <08050> called <07121> (8799) unto the LORD
<03068>; and the LORD <03068> sent <05414> (8799) thunder
<06963> and rain <04306> that day <03117>: and all the people
<05971> greatly <03966> feared <03372> (8799) the LORD <03068>
and Samuel <08050>.

1Sa 12:19 And all the people <05971> said <0559> (8799) unto
Samuel <08050>, Pray <06419> (8690) for thy servants <05650>
unto the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>, that we die < 04191> (8799)
not: for we have added <03254> (8804) unto all our sins < 02403>
this evil <07451>, to ask <07592> (8800) us a king <04428>.

1Sa 12:20 And Samuel <08050> said <0559> (8799) unto the people
<05971>, Fear <03372> (8799) not: ye have done < 06213> (8804)
all this wickedness <07451>: yet turn not aside < 05493> (8799)
from following <0310> the LORD <03068>, but serve < 05647> (8804)
the LORD <03068> with all your heart <03824>;

1Sa 12:21 And turn ye not aside <05493> (8799): for then should
ye go after <0310> vain <08414> things, which cannot profit
<03276> (8686) nor deliver <05337> (8686); for they are vain
<08414>.

1Sa 12:22 For the LORD <03068> will not forsake < 05203> (8799)
his people <05971> for his great <01419> name’s < 08034> sake:
because it hath pleased <02974> (8689) the LORD < 03068> to make
<06213> (8800) you his people <05971>.

1Sa 12:23 Moreover as for me <0595>, God forbid < 02486> that I
should sin <02398> (8800) against the LORD <03068> in ceasing
<02308> (8800) to pray <06419> (8692) for you: but I will teach
<03384> (8689) you the good <02896> and the right < 03477> way
<01870>:

1Sa 12:24 Only fear <03372> (8798) the LORD <03068>, and serve
<05647> (8804) him in truth <0571> with all your heart <03824>:
for consider <07200> (8798) how great things he hath done
<01431> (8689) for you.

1Sa 12:25 But if ye shall still <07489> (8687) do wickedly
<07489> (8686), ye shall be consumed <05595> (8735), both ye and
your king <04428>.

1Sa 13:01 ¶ Saul <07586> reigned <04427> (8800) one year <01121>
<08141>; and when he had reigned <04427> (8804) two <08147>
years <08141> over Israel <03478>,

1Sa 13:02 Saul <07586> chose <0977> (8799) him three <07969>
thousand <0505> men of Israel <03478>; whereof two thousand
<0505> were with Saul <07586> in Michmash < 04363> and in mount
<02022> Bethel <01008>, and a thousand <0505> were with Jonathan
<03129> in Gibeah <01390> of Benjamin <01144>: and the rest
<03499> of the people <05971> he sent <07971> (8765) every man
<0376> to his tent <0168>.

1Sa 13:03 And Jonathan <03129> smote <05221> (8686) the
garrison <05333> of the Philistines <06430> that was in Geba
<01387>, and the Philistines <06430> heard < 08085> (8799) of it.
And Saul <07586> blew <08628> (8804) the trumpet < 07782>
throughout all the land <0776>, saying <0559> (8800), Let the
Hebrews <05680> hear <08085> (8799).

1Sa 13:04 And all Israel <03478> heard <08085> (8804) say
<0559> (8800) that Saul <07586> had smitten < 05221> (8689) a
garrison <05333> of the Philistines <06430>, and that Israel
<03478> also was had in abomination <0887> (8738) with the
Philistines <06430>. And the people <05971> were called together
<06817> (8735) after <0310> Saul <07586> to Gilgal <01537>.

1Sa 13:05 And the Philistines <06430> gathered themselves
together <0622> (8738) to fight <03898> (8736) with Israel
<03478>, thirty <07970> thousand <0505> chariots <07393>, and
six <08337> thousand <0505> horsemen <06571>, and people <05971>
as the sand <02344> which is on the sea <03220> shore <08193> in
multitude <07230>: and they came up <05927> (8799), and pitched
<02583> (8799) in Michmash <04363>, eastward < 06926> from
Bethaven <01007>.

1Sa 13:06 When the men <0376> of Israel <03478> saw <07200>
(8804) that they were in a strait <06887> (8804), (for the
people <05971> were distressed <05065> (8738),) then the people
<05971> did hide <02244> (8691) themselves in caves <04631>, and
in thickets <02337>, and in rocks <05553>, and in high places
<06877>, and in pits <0953>.

1Sa 13:07 And some of the Hebrews <05680> went over < 05674>
(8804) Jordan <03383> to the land <0776> of Gad < 01410> and
Gilead <01568>. As for Saul <07586>, he was yet in Gilgal
<01537>, and all the people <05971> followed < 0310> him
trembling <02729> (8804).

1Sa 13:08 ¶ And he tarried <03176> (8686) (8675) < 03176> (8735)
seven <07651> days <03117>, according to the set time <04150>
that Samuel <08050> had appointed: but Samuel <08050> came
<0935> (8804) not to Gilgal <01537>; and the people <05971> were
scattered <06327> (8686) from him.

1Sa 13:09 And Saul <07586> said <0559> (8799), Bring hither
<05066> (8685) a burnt offering <05930> to me, and peace
offerings <08002>. And he offered <05927> (8686) the burnt
offering <05930>.

1Sa 13:10 And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an
end <03615> (8763) of offering <05927> (8687) the burnt offering
<05930>, behold, Samuel <08050> came <0935> (8802); and Saul
<07586> went out <03318> (8799) to meet <07125> (8800) him, that
he might salute <01288> (8800) him.

1Sa 13:11 And Samuel <08050> said <0559> (8799), What hast thou
done <06213> (8804)? And Saul <07586> said < 0559> (8799),
Because I saw <07200> (8804) that the people <05971> were
scattered <05310> (8804) from me, and that thou camest < 0935>
(8804) not within the days <03117> appointed <04150>, and that
the Philistines <06430> gathered themselves together < 0622>
(8737) at Michmash <04363>;

1Sa 13:12 Therefore said <0559> (8799) I, The Philistines
<06430> will come down <03381> (8799) now upon me to Gilgal
<01537>, and I have not made supplication <02470> (8765) unto
<06440> the LORD <03068>: I forced <0662> (8691) myself
therefore, and offered <05927> (8686) a burnt offering < 05930>.

1Sa 13:13 And Samuel <08050> said <0559> (8799) to Saul <07586>,
Thou hast done foolishly <05528> (8738): thou hast not kept
<08104> (8804) the commandment <04687> of the LORD <03068> thy
God <0430>, which he commanded <06680> (8765) thee: for now
would the LORD <03068> have established <03559> (8689) thy
kingdom <04467> upon Israel <03478> for <05704> ever <05769>.

1Sa 13:14 But now thy kingdom <04467> shall not continue
<06965> (8799): the LORD <03068> hath sought < 01245> (8765) him
a man <0376> after his own heart <03824>, and the LORD <03068>
hath commanded <06680> (8762) him to be captain < 05057> over his
people <05971>, because thou hast not kept <08104> (8804) that
which the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> (8765) thee.

1Sa 13:15 ¶ And Samuel <08050> arose <06965> (8799), and gat him
up <05927> (8799) from Gilgal <01537> unto Gibeah < 01390> of
Benjamin <01144>. And Saul <07586> numbered < 06485> (8799) the
people <05971> that were present <04672> (8737) with him, about
six <08337> hundred <03967> men <0376>.

1Sa 13:16 And Saul <07586>, and Jonathan <03129> his son
<01121>, and the people <05971> that were present < 04672> (8737)
with them, abode <03427> (8802) in Gibeah <01387> of Benjamin
<01144>: but the Philistines <06430> encamped < 02583> (8804) in
Michmash <04363>.

1Sa 13:17 And the spoilers <07843> (8688) came out < 03318>
(8799) of the camp <04264> of the Philistines <06430> in three
<07969> companies <07218>: one <0259> company <07218> turned
<06437> (8799) unto the way <01870> that leadeth to Ophrah
<06084>, unto the land <0776> of Shual <07777>:

1Sa 13:18 And another <0259> company <07218> turned <06437>
(8799) the way <01870> to Bethhoron <01032>: and another <0259>
company <07218> turned <06437> (8799) to the way < 01870> of the
border <01366> that looketh <08259> (8737) to the valley <01516>
of Zeboim <06650> toward the wilderness <04057>.

1Sa 13:19 Now there was no smith <02796> found < 04672> (8735)
throughout all the land <0776> of Israel <03478>: for the
Philistines <06430> said <0559> (8804), Lest the Hebrews <05680>
make <06213> (8799) them swords <02719> or spears < 02595>:

1Sa 13:20 But all the Israelites <03478> went down < 03381>
(8799) to the Philistines <06430>, to sharpen <03913> (8800)
every man <0376> his share <04282>, and his coulter <0855>, and
his axe <07134>, and his mattock <04281>.

1Sa 13:21 Yet they had a file <06477> <06310> for the mattocks
<04281>, and for the coulters <0855>, and for the forks <07969>
<07053>, and for the axes <07134>, and to sharpen < 05324> (8687)
the goads <01861>.

1Sa 13:22 So it came to pass in the day <03117> of battle
<04421>, that there was neither sword <02719> nor spear <02595>
found <04672> (8738) in the hand <03027> of any of the people
<05971> that were with Saul <07586> and Jonathan < 03129>: but
with Saul <07586> and with Jonathan <03129> his son <01121> was
there found <04672> (8735).

1Sa 13:23 And the garrison <04673> of the Philistines < 06430>
went out <03318> (8799) to the passage <04569> of Michmash
<04363>.

1Sa 14:01 ¶ Now it came to pass upon a day <03117>, that
Jonathan <03129> the son <01121> of Saul <07586> said <0559>
(8799) unto the young man <05288> that bare <05375> (8802) his
armour <03627>, Come <03212> (8798), and let us go over <05674>
(8799) to the Philistines <06430>‘ garrison <04673>, that is on
the other side <05676> <01975>. But he told < 05046> (8689) not
his father <01>.

1Sa 14:02 And Saul <07586> tarried <03427> (8802) in the
uttermost <07097> part of Gibeah <01390> under a pomegranate
tree <07416> which is in Migron <04051>: and the people <05971>
that were with him were about six <08337> hundred < 03967> men
<0376>;

1Sa 14:03 And Ahiah <0281>, the son <01121> of Ahitub <0285>,
Ichabod’s <0350> brother <0251>, the son <01121> of Phinehas
<06372>, the son <01121> of Eli <05941>, the LORD’S <03068>
priest <03548> in Shiloh <07887>, wearing < 05375> (8802) an
ephod <0646>. And the people <05971> knew < 03045> (8804) not
that Jonathan <03129> was gone <01980> (8804).

1Sa 14:04 And between the passages <04569>, by which Jonathan
<03129> sought <01245> (8765) to go over <05674> (8800) unto the
Philistines <06430>‘ garrison <04673>, there was a sharp <08127>
rock <05553> on the one side <05676>, and a sharp < 08127> rock
<05553> on the other side <05676>: and the name < 08034> of the
one <0259> was Bozez <0949>, and the name < 08034> of the other
<0259> Seneh <05573>.

1Sa 14:05 The forefront <08127> of the one <0259> was situate
<04690> northward <06828> over against <04136> Michmash <04363>,
and the other <0259> southward <05045> over against <04136>
Gibeah <01387>.

1Sa 14:06 And Jonathan <03083> said <0559> (8799) to the young
man <05288> that bare <05375> (8802) his armour < 03627>, Come
<03212> (8798), and let us go over <05674> (8799) unto the
garrison <04673> of these uncircumcised <06189>: it may be that
the LORD <03068> will work <06213> (8799) for us: for there is
no restraint <04622> to the LORD <03068> to save < 03467> (8687)
by many <07227> or by few <04592>.

1Sa 14:07 And his armourbearer <05375> (8802) <03627> said
<0559> (8799) unto him, Do <06213> (8798) all that is in thine
heart <03824>: turn <05186> (8798) thee; behold, I am with thee
according to thy heart <03824>.

1Sa 14:08 Then said <0559> (8799) Jonathan <03083>, Behold, we
will pass over <05674> (8802) unto these men <0582>, and we will
discover <01540> (8738) ourselves unto them.

1Sa 14:09 If they say <0559> (8799) thus unto us, Tarry <01826>
(8798) until we come <05060> (8687) to you; then we will stand
still <05975> (8804) in our place, and will not go up < 05927>
(8799) unto them.

1Sa 14:10 But if they say <0559> (8799) thus, Come up < 05927>
(8798) unto us; then we will go up <05927> (8804): for the LORD
<03068> hath delivered <05414> (8804) them into our hand <03027>:
and this shall be a sign <0226> unto us.

1Sa 14:11 And both <08147> of them discovered <01540> (8735)
themselves unto the garrison <04673> of the Philistines < 06430>:
and the Philistines <06430> said <0559> (8799), Behold, the
Hebrews <05680> come forth <03318> (8802) out of the holes
<02356> where they had hid <02244> (8694) themselves.

1Sa 14:12 And the men <0582> of the garrison <04675> answered
<06030> (8799) Jonathan <03129> and his armourbearer <05375>
(8802) <03627>, and said <0559> (8799), Come up < 05927> (8798)
to us, and we will shew <03045> (8686) you a thing < 01697>. And
Jonathan <03129> said <0559> (8799) unto his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>, Come up <05927> (8798) after <0310> me:
for the LORD <03068> hath delivered <05414> (8804) them into the
hand <03027> of Israel <03478>.

1Sa 14:13 And Jonathan <03129> climbed up <05927> (8799) upon
his hands <03027> and upon his feet <07272>, and his
armourbearer <05375> (8802) <03627> after <0310> him: and they
fell <05307> (8799) before <06440> Jonathan < 03129>; and his
armourbearer <05375> (8802) <03627> slew <04191> (8789) after
<0310> him.

1Sa 14:14 And that first <07223> slaughter <04347>, which
Jonathan <03129> and his armourbearer <05375> (8802) <03627>
made <05221> (8689), was about twenty <06242> men < 0376>, within
as it were an half <02677> acre <04618> of land < 07704>, which a
yoke <06776> of oxen might plow.

1Sa 14:15 And there was trembling <02731> in the host < 04264>,
in the field <07704>, and among all the people <05971> : the
garrison <04673>, and the spoilers <07843> (8688), they also
trembled <02729> (8804), and the earth <0776> quaked <07264>
(8799): so it was a very great <0430> trembling < 02731>.

1Sa 14:16 ¶ And the watchmen <06822> (8802) of Saul < 07586> in
Gibeah <01390> of Benjamin <01144> looked < 07200> (8799); and,
behold, the multitude <01995> melted away <04127> (8738), and
they went <03212> (8799) on beating down <01986> (8800) one
another.

1Sa 14:17 Then said <0559> (8799) Saul <07586> unto the people
<05971> that were with him, Number <06485> (8798) now, and see
<07200> (8798) who is gone <01980> (8804) from us. And when they
had numbered <06485> (8799), behold, Jonathan <03129> and his
armourbearer <05375> (8802) <03627> were not there.

1Sa 14:18 And Saul <07586> said <0559> (8799) unto Ahiah <0281>,
Bring hither <05066> (8685) the ark <0727> of God <0430>. For
the ark <0727> of God <0430> was at that time < 03117> with the
children <01121> of Israel <03478>.

1Sa 14:19 And it came to pass, while Saul <07586> talked
<01696> (8765) unto the priest <03548>, that the noise <01995>
that was in the host <04264> of the Philistines < 06430> went
<03212> (8799) on <01980> (8800) and increased < 07227>: and Saul
<07586> said <0559> (8799) unto the priest < 03548>, Withdraw
<0622> (8798) thine hand <03027>.

1Sa 14:20 And Saul <07586> and all the people <05971> that were
with him assembled <02199> (8735) themselves, and they came
<0935> (8799) to the battle <04421>: and, behold, every man’s
<0376> sword <02719> was against his fellow < 07453>, and there
was a very <03966> great <01419> discomfiture < 04103>.

1Sa 14:21 Moreover the Hebrews <05680> that were with the
Philistines <06430> before <0865> that time < 08032>, which went
up <05927> (8804) with them into the camp <04264> from the
country round about <05439>, even they also turned to be with
the Israelites <03478> that were with Saul <07586> and Jonathan
<03129>.

1Sa 14:22 Likewise all the men <0376> of Israel < 03478> which
had hid <02244> (8693) themselves in mount <02022> Ephraim
<0669>, when they heard <08085> (8804) that the Philistines
<06430> fled <05127> (8804), even they also followed hard
<01692> (8686) after <0310> them in the battle < 04421>.

1Sa 14:23 So the LORD <03068> saved <03467> (8686) Israel
<03478> that day <03117>: and the battle <04421> passed over
<05674> (8804) unto Bethaven <01007>.

1Sa 14:24 ¶ And the men <0376> of Israel <03478> were distressed
<05065> (8738) that day <03117>: for Saul < 07586> had adjured
<0422> (8686) the people <05971>, saying <0559> (8800), Cursed
<0779> (8803) be the man <0376> that eateth < 0398> (8799) any
food <03899> until evening <06153>, that I may be avenged
<05358> (8738) on mine enemies <0341> (8802). So none of the
people <05971> tasted <02938> (8804) any food < 03899>.

1Sa 14:25 And all they of the land <0776> came <0935> (8804) to
a wood <03293>; and there was honey <01706> upon < 06440> the
ground <07704>.

1Sa 14:26 And when the people <05971> were come < 0935> (8799)
into the wood <03293>, behold, the honey <01706> dropped <01982>;
but no man put <05381> (8688) his hand <03027> to his mouth
<06310>: for the people <05971> feared <03372> (8804) the oath
<07621>.

1Sa 14:27 But Jonathan <03129> heard <08085> (8804) not when
his father <01> charged <07650> <00> the people <05971> with the
oath <07650> (8687): wherefore he put forth <07971> (8799) the
end <07097> of the rod <04294> that was in his hand <03027>, and
dipped <02881> (8799) it in an honeycomb <03295> < 01706>, and
put <07725> (8686) his hand <03027> to his mouth < 06310>; and
his eyes <05869> were enlightened <0215> (8799).

1Sa 14:28 Then answered <06030> (8799) one <0376> of the people
<05971>, and said <0559> (8799), Thy father <01> straitly
<07650> (8687) charged <07650> <00> the people <05971> with an
oath <07650> (8689), saying <0559> (8800), Cursed < 0779> (8803)
be the man <0376> that eateth <0398> (8799) any food <03899>
this day <03117>. And the people <05971> were faint <05774>
(8799).

1Sa 14:29 Then said <0559> (8799) Jonathan <03129>, My father
<01> hath troubled <05916> (8804) the land < 0776>: see <07200>
(8798), I pray you, how mine eyes <05869> have been enlightened
<0215> (8804), because I tasted <02938> (8804) a little <04592>
of this honey <01706>.

1Sa 14:30 How much more <0637>, if haply <03863> the people
<05971> had eaten <0398> (8804) freely <0398> (8800) to day
<03117> of the spoil <07998> of their enemies < 0341> (8802)
which they found <04672> (8804)? for had there not been now a
much greater <07235> (8804) slaughter <04347> among the
Philistines <06430>?

1Sa 14:31 And they smote <05221> (8686) the Philistines <06430>
that day <03117> from Michmash <04363> to Aijalon < 0357>: and
the people <05971> were very <03966> faint < 05774> (8799).

1Sa 14:32 And the people <05971> flew <05860> (8799) <06213>
(8799) upon the spoil <07998>, and took <03947> (8799) sheep
<06629>, and oxen <01241>, and calves <01121>, and slew <07819>
(8799) them on the ground <0776>: and the people < 05971> did eat
<0398> (8799) them with the blood <01818>.

1Sa 14:33 Then they told <05046> (8686) Saul <07586>, saying
<0559> (8800), Behold, the people <05971> sin < 02398> (8802)
against the LORD <03068>, in that they eat <0398> (8800) with
the blood <01818>. And he said <0559> (8799), Ye have
transgressed <0898> (8804): roll <01556> (8798) a great <01419>
stone <068> unto me this day <03117>.

1Sa 14:34 And Saul <07586> said <0559> (8799), Disperse <06327>
(8798) yourselves among the people <05971>, and say < 0559>
(8804) unto them, Bring me hither <05066> (8685) every man
<0376> his ox <07794>, and every man <0376> his sheep <07716>,
and slay <07819> (8804) them here, and eat <0398> (8804); and
sin <02398> (8799) not against the LORD <03068> in eating <0398>
(8800) with the blood <01818>. And all the people < 05971>
brought <05066> (8686) every man <0376> his ox < 07794> with him
<03027> that night <03915>, and slew <07819> (8799) them there.

1Sa 14:35 And Saul <07586> built <01129> (8799) an altar
<04196> unto the LORD <03068>: the same was the first <02490>
(8689) altar <04196> that he built <01129> (8800) unto the LORD
<03068>.

1Sa 14:36 ¶ And Saul <07586> said <0559> (8799), Let us go down
<03381> (8799) after <0310> the Philistines < 06430> by night
<03915>, and spoil <0962> (8799) them until the morning <01242>
light <0216>, and let us not leave <07604> (8686) a man <0376>
of them. And they said <0559> (8799), Do <06213> (8798)
whatsoever seemeth <05869> good <02896> unto thee. Then said
<0559> (8799) the priest <03548>, Let us draw near <07126>
(8799) hither <01988> unto God <0430>.

1Sa 14:37 And Saul <07586> asked <07592> (8799) counsel of God
<0430>, Shall I go down <03381> (8799) after < 0310> the
Philistines <06430>? wilt thou deliver <05414> (8799) them into
the hand <03027> of Israel <03478>? But he answered <06030>
(8804) him not that day <03117>.

1Sa 14:38 And Saul <07586> said <0559> (8799), Draw ye near
<05066> (8798) hither <01988>, all the chief < 06438> of the
people <05971>: and know <03045> (8798) and see < 07200> (8798)
wherein <04100> this sin <02403> hath been this day <03117>.

1Sa 14:39 For, as the LORD <03068> liveth <02416>, which saveth
<03467> (8688) Israel <03478>, though it be < 03426> in Jonathan
<03129> my son <01121>, he shall surely <04191> (8800) die
<04191> (8799). But there was not a man among all the people
<05971> that answered <06030> (8802) him.

1Sa 14:40 Then said <0559> (8799) he unto all Israel < 03478>,
Be ye on one <0259> side <05676>, and I and Jonathan <03129> my
son <01121> will be on the other <0259> side < 05676>. And the
people <05971> said <0559> (8799) unto Saul < 07586>, Do <06213>
(8798) what seemeth <05869> good <02896> unto thee.

1Sa 14:41 Therefore Saul <07586> said <0559> (8799) unto the
LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, Give <03051> (8798) a
perfect <08549> lot. And Saul <07586> and Jonathan <03129> were
taken <03920> (8735): but the people <05971> escaped <03318>
(8804).

1Sa 14:42 And Saul <07586> said <0559> (8799), Cast <05307>
(8685) lots between me and Jonathan <03129> my son < 01121>. And
Jonathan <03129> was taken <03920> (8735).

1Sa 14:43 Then Saul <07586> said <0559> (8799) to Jonathan
<03129>, Tell <05046> (8685) me what thou hast done <06213>
(8804). And Jonathan <03129> told <05046> (8686) him, and said
<0559> (8799), I did but <02938> (8800) taste < 02938> (8804) a
little <04592> honey <01706> with the end < 07097> of the rod
<04294> that was in mine hand <03027>, and, lo < 02009>, I must
die <04191> (8799).

1Sa 14:44 And Saul <07586> answered <0559> (8799), God <0430>
do so <06213> (8799) and more also <03254> (8686): for thou
shalt surely <04191> (8800) die <04191> (8799), Jonathan <03129>.

1Sa 14:45 And the people <05971> said <0559> (8799) unto Saul
<07586>, Shall Jonathan <03129> die <04191> (8799), who hath
wrought <06213> (8804) this great <01419> salvation <03444> in
Israel <03478>? God forbid <02486>: as the LORD < 03068> liveth
<02416>, there shall not one hair <08185> of his head <07218>
fall <05307> (8799) to the ground <0776>; for he hath wrought
<06213> (8804) with God <0430> this day <03117>. So the people
<05971> rescued <06299> (8799) Jonathan <03129>, that he died
<04191> (8804) not.

1Sa 14:46 Then Saul <07586> went up <05927> (8799) from
following <0310> the Philistines <06430>: and the Philistines
<06430> went <01980> (8804) to their own place < 04725>.

1Sa 14:47 ¶ So Saul <07586> took <03920> (8804) the kingdom
<04410> over Israel <03478>, and fought <03898> (8735) against
all his enemies <0341> (8802) on every side <05439>, against
Moab <04124>, and against the children <01121> of Ammon <05983>,
and against Edom <0123>, and against the kings <04428> of Zobah
<06678>, and against the Philistines <06430>: and whithersoever
he turned <06437> (8799) himself, he vexed <07561> (8686) them.

1Sa 14:48 And he gathered <06213> (8799) an host < 02428>, and
smote <05221> (8686) the Amalekites <06002>, and delivered
<05337> (8686) Israel <03478> out of the hands < 03027> of them
that spoiled <08154> (8802) them.

1Sa 14:49 Now the sons <01121> of Saul <07586> were Jonathan
<03129>, and Ishui <03440>, and Melchishua < 04444>: and the
names <08034> of his two <08147> daughters < 01323> were these;
the name <08034> of the firstborn <01067> Merab < 04764>, and the
name <08034> of the younger <06996> Michal < 04324>:

1Sa 14:50 And the name <08034> of Saul’s <07586> wife <0802>
was Ahinoam <0293>, the daughter <01323> of Ahimaaz <0290>: and
the name <08034> of the captain <08269> of his host <06635> was
Abner <074>, the son <01121> of Ner <05369>, Saul’s <07586>
uncle <01730>.

1Sa 14:51 And Kish <07027> was the father <01> of Saul <07586>;
and Ner <05369> the father <01> of Abner <074> was the son
<01121> of Abiel <022>.

1Sa 14:52 And there was sore <02389> war <04421> against the
Philistines <06430> all the days <03117> of Saul < 07586>: and
when Saul <07586> saw <07200> (8804) any strong < 01368> man
<0376>, or any valiant <02428> man <01121>, he took <0622>
(8799) him unto him.

1Sa 15:01 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 15:02 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>.

1Sa 15:03 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>.

1Sa 15:04 And Saul <07586> gathered <08085> < 00> 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>.

1Sa 15:05 And Saul <07586> came <0935> (8799) to a city <05892>
of Amalek <06002>, and laid wait <07378> (8799) < 0693> (8686) in
the valley <05158>.

1Sa 15:06 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>.

1Sa 15:07 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>.

1Sa 15:08 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>.

1Sa 15:09 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).

1Sa 15:10 ¶ Then came the word <01697> of the LORD < 03068> unto
Samuel <08050>, saying <0559> (8800),

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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)?

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>?

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>?

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 15:31 So Samuel <08050> turned again <07725> (8799) after
<0310> Saul <07586>; and Saul <07586> worshipped <07812> (8691)
the LORD <03068>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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> < 00> Agag <090> in
pieces <08158> (8762) before <06440> the LORD < 03068> in Gilgal
<01537>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 16:01 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 16:02 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>.

1Sa 16:03 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.

1Sa 16:04 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>?

1Sa 16:05 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>.

1Sa 16:06 ¶ 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.

1Sa 16:07 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>.

1Sa 16:08 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.

1Sa 16:09 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.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 17:01 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 17:02 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>.

1Sa 17:03 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.

1Sa 17:04 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>.

1Sa 17:05 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>.

1Sa 17:06 And he had greaves <04697> of brass <05178> upon his
legs <07272>, and a target <03591> of brass < 05178> between his
shoulders <03802>.

1Sa 17:07 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.

1Sa 17:08 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.

1Sa 17:09 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 17:14 And David <01732> was the youngest <06996>: and the
three <07969> eldest <01419> followed <01980> (8804) <0310> Saul
<07586>.

1Sa 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> .

1Sa 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> .

1Sa 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>;

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 17:21 For Israel <03478> and the Philistines < 06430> had
put the battle in array <06186> (8799), army <04634> against
<07125> (8800) army <04634>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>?

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 17:29 And David <01732> said <0559> (8799), What have I now
done <06213> (8804)? Is there not a cause <01697>?

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>:

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 17:56 And the king <04428> said <0559> (8799), Enquire
<07592> (8798) thou whose son <01121> the stripling <05958> is.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 18:01 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 18:02 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>.

1Sa 18:03 Then Jonathan <03083> and David <01732> made <03772>
(8799) a covenant <01285>, because he loved <0160> him as his
own soul <05315>.

1Sa 18:04 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>.

1Sa 18:05 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>.

1Sa 18:06 ¶ 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 of musick <07991>.

1Sa 18:07 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>.

1Sa 18:08 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>?

1Sa 18:09 And Saul <07586> eyed <05770> (8802) David <01732>
from that day <03117> and forward <01973>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 18:14 And David <01732> behaved himself wisely < 07919>
(8688) in all his ways <01870>; and the LORD <03068> was with
him.

1Sa 18:15 Wherefore when Saul <07586> saw <07200> (8799) that
he behaved <07919> <00> himself very <03966> wisely <07919>
(8688), he was afraid <01481> (8799) of <06440> him.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>?

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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)?

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 19:01 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 19:02 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:

1Sa 19:03 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.

1Sa 19:04 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>:

1Sa 19:05 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>?

1Sa 19:06 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).

1Sa 19:07 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>.

1Sa 19:08 ¶ 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.

1Sa 19:09 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 19:12 So Michal <04324> let <03381> <00> David <01732> down
<03381> (8686) through a window <02474>: and he went <03212>
(8799), and fled <01272> (8799), and escaped <04422> (8735).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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?

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 19:19 And it was told <05046> (8714) Saul <07586> , saying
<0559> (8800), Behold, David <01732> is at Naioth < 05121> in
Ramah <07414>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>?

1Sa 20:01 ¶ 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>?

1Sa 20:02 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.

1Sa 20:03 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>.

1Sa 20:04 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.

1Sa 20:05 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>.

1Sa 20:06 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>.

1Sa 20:07 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.

1Sa 20:08 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>?

1Sa 20:09 ¶ 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?

1Sa 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>?

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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;

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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:

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>?

1Sa 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>:

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>?

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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)?

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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?

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 21:01 ¶ 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?

1Sa 21:02 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>.

1Sa 21:03 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).

1Sa 21:04 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>.

1Sa 21:05 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>.

1Sa 21:06 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).

1Sa 21:07 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>.

1Sa 21:08 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).

1Sa 21:09 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>?

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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?

1Sa 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>?

1Sa 22:01 ¶ 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.

1Sa 22:02 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>.

1Sa 22:03 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.

1Sa 22:04 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>.

1Sa 22:05 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>.

1Sa 22:06 ¶ 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;)

1Sa 22:07 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>;

1Sa 22:08 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>?

1Sa 22:09 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>?

1Sa 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>?

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 22:21 And Abiathar <054> shewed <05046> (8686) David
<01732> that Saul <07586> had slain <02026> (8804) the LORD’S
<03068> priests <03548>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 23:01 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 23:02 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>.

1Sa 23:03 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>?

1Sa 23:04 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>.

1Sa 23:05 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>.

1Sa 23:06 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>.

1Sa 23:07 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 23:08 And Saul <07586> called <08085> <00> 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>.

1Sa 23:09 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>?

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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> <00> David < 01732> and his men <0582>
round about <05849> (8802) to take <08610> (8800) them.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 23:29 And David <01732> went up <05927> (8799) from thence,
and dwelt <03427> (8799) in strong holds <04679> at Engedi
<05872>.

1Sa 24:01 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 24:02 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>.

1Sa 24:03 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>.

1Sa 24:04 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>.

1Sa 24:05 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>.

1Sa 24:06 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>.

1Sa 24:07 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>.

1Sa 24:08 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.

1Sa 24:09 ¶ 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>?

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 25:01 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 25:02 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 25:03 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>.

1Sa 25:04 And David <01732> heard <08085> (8799) in the
wilderness <04057> that Nabal <05037> did shear < 01494> (8802)
his sheep <06629>.

1Sa 25:05 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>:

1Sa 25:06 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.

1Sa 25:07 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>.

1Sa 25:08 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>.

1Sa 25:09 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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?

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>:

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>,

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>;

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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:

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 25:43 David <01732> also took <03947> (8804) Ahinoam <0293>
of Jezreel <03157>; and they were also both <08147> of them his
wives <0802>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 26:01 ¶ 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>?

1Sa 26:02 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>.

1Sa 26:03 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>.

1Sa 26:04 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).

1Sa 26:05 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.

1Sa 26:06 ¶ 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.

1Sa 26:07 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.

1Sa 26:08 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).

1Sa 26:09 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)?

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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:

1Sa 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>?

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>?

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 27:01 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 27:02 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>.

1Sa 27:03 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>.

1Sa 27:04 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.

1Sa 27:05 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?

1Sa 27:06 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>.

1Sa 27:07 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>.

1Sa 27:08 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 27:09 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 28:01 ¶ And it came to pass in those days <03117>, that the
Philistines <06430> gathered <06908> <00> 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>.

1Sa 28:02 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>.

1Sa 28:03 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>.

1Sa 28:04 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> <00> all Israel <03478> together < 06908> (8799), and
they pitched <02583> (8799) in Gilboa <01533>.

1Sa 28:05 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).

1Sa 28:06 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>.

1Sa 28:07 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 28:08 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.

1Sa 28:09 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)?

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>?

1Sa 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>:

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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:

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 29:01 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 29:02 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>.

1Sa 29:03 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>?

1Sa 29:04 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> <00> 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>?

1Sa 29:05 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>?

1Sa 29:06 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 29:07 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>.

1Sa 29:08 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> ?

1Sa 29:09 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 30:01 ¶ 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>;

1Sa 30:02 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>.

1Sa 30:03 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).

1Sa 30:04 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).

1Sa 30:05 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>.

1Sa 30:06 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>.

1Sa 30:07 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 30:08 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.

1Sa 30:09 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>;

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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.

1Sa 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).

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>;

1Sa 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>,

1Sa 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>,

1Sa 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>,

1Sa 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>,

1Sa 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).

1Sa 31:01 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 31:02 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>.

1Sa 31:03 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>.

1Sa 31:04 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.

1Sa 31:05 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.

1Sa 31:06 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>.

1Sa 31:07 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.

1Sa 31:08 ¶ 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>.

1Sa 31:09 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>.

1Sa 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>.

1Sa 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>;

1Sa 31:12 All the valiant <02428> men <0376> (8677) <0381>
