01 : 03 And this <01931  +huw> > man <00376  +>iysh > went <05927

01 : 06 And her adversary <06869  +tsarah > also <01571  +gam >


provoked <03707  +ka<ac > her sore <03708  +ka<ac > ,  for to

make


her fret <07481  +ra<am > ,  because <03588  +kiy > the LORD

01 : 09 .  So Hannah <02584  +Channah > rose <06965  +quwm > up

01 : 12 And it came <01961  +hayah > to pass ,  as she continued

.




01 : 14 And Eli <05941  +<Eliy > said <00559  +>amar > unto her ,


How <05704  +<ad > long <03117  +yowm > wilt thou be drunken

01 : 15 And Hannah <02584  +Channah > answered <06030  +<anah >

01 : 16 Count <05414  +nathan > not thine handmaid <00519

01 : 17 Then Eli <05941  +<Eliy > answered <06030  +<anah > and

said

01 : 18 And she said <00559  +>amar > ,  Let thine handmaid

<08198

01 : 19 .  And they rose <07925  +shakam > up in the morning

01 : 20 Wherefore it came <01961  +hayah > to pass ,  when the

time

01 : 21 And the man <00376  +>iysh > Elkanah <00511  +>Elqanah >

01 : 22 But Hannah <02584  +Channah > went <05927  +<alah > not

01 : 23 And Elkanah <00511  +>Elqanah > her husband <00376

01 : 27 For this <02088  +zeh > child <05288  +na<ar > I prayed

03 : 04 That the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > called <07121  +qara> >


Samuel <08050  +Sh@muw>el > : and he answered <00559  +>amar > ,

03 : 05 And he ran <07323  +ruwts > unto Eli <05941  +<Eliy > ,

03 : 06 And the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > called <07121  +qara> >

03 : 07 Now Samuel <08050  +Sh@muw>el > did not yet <02962

03 : 08 And the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > called <07121  +qara> >

03 : 10 And the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > came <00935  +bow> > ,

03 : 11 .  And the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > said <00559  +>amar >

to


Samuel <08050  +Sh@muw>el > ,  Behold <02009  +hinneh > ,  I

03 : 12 In that day <03117  +yowm > I will perform <06965  +quwm

begin

03 : 13 For I have told <05046  +nagad > him that I will judge

,  and he restrained <03543  +kahah > them not .




03 : 14 And therefore I have sworn <07650  +shaba< > unto the

house

<05771  +<avon > of Eli s <05941  +<Eliy > house <01004  +bayith

14 : 37 And Saul <07586  +Sha>uwl > asked <07592  +sha>al >

14 : 47 .  So Saul <07586  +Sha>uwl > took <03920  +lakad > the

15 : 08 And he took <08610  +taphas > Agag <90> the king <04428

15 : 22 And Samuel <08050  +Sh@muw>el > said <00559  +>amar > ,


Hath the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah >  [ as great <01419  +gadowl > ]


delight <02656  +chephets > in burnt <05930  +<olah > offerings

and


sacrifices <02077  +zebach > ,  as in obeying <08085  +shama< >

the


voice <06963  +qowl > of the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > ?  Behold


<02009  +hinneh > ,  to obey <08085  +shama< >  [ is ]  better


<02896  +towb > than sacrifice <02077  +zebach > ,   [ and ]  to


hearken <07181  +qashab > than the fat <02459  +cheleb > of rams


<00352  +>ayil > .




15 : 23 For rebellion <04805  +m@riy >  [ is as ]  the sin <02403


+chatta>ah > of witchcraft <07081  +qecem > ,  and stubbornness


<06484  +patsar >  [ is as ]  iniquity <00205  +>aven > and

idolatry


<08655  +t@raphiym > .  Because <03282  +ya<an > thou hast

rejected


<03988  +ma>ac > the word <01697  +dabar > of the LORD <03068


+Y@hovah > ,  he hath also rejected <03988  +ma>ac > thee from  [


being ]  king <04428  +melek > .




15 : 24 .  And Saul <07586  +Sha>uwl > said <00559  +>amar > unto


Samuel <08050  +Sh@muw>el > ,  I have sinned <02398  +chata> > :

for


I have transgressed <05674  +<abar > the commandment <06310  

+peh >


of the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > ,  and thy words <01697  +dabar >

:


because <03588  +kiy > I feared <03372  +yare> > the people

<05971


+<am > ,  and obeyed <08085  +shama< > their voice <06963  +qowl

15 : 25 Now <06258  +<attah > therefore ,  I pray <04994  +na> >


thee ,  pardon <05375  +nasa> > my sin <02403  +chatta>ah > ,  

and


turn <07725  +shuwb > again <07725  +shuwb > with me ,  that I

may


worship <07812  +shachah > the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > .




15 : 26 And Samuel <08050  +Sh@muw>el > said <00559  +>amar >

unto


Saul <07586  +Sha>uwl > ,  I will not return <07725  +shuwb >

with


thee : for thou hast rejected <03988  +ma>ac > the word <01697


+dabar > of the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > ,  and the LORD <03068


+Y@hovah > hath rejected <03988  +ma>ac > thee from being king


<04428  +melek > over <05921  +<al > Israel <03478  +Yisra>el > .




15 : 27 And as Samuel <08050  +Sh@muw>el > turned <05437  +cabab

about <05437  +cabab > to go <03212  +yalak > away ,  he laid

hold


<02388  +chazaq > upon the skirt <03671  +kanaph > of his mantle


<04598  +m@<iyl > ,  and it rent <07167  +qara< > .




15 : 28 And Samuel <08050  +Sh@muw>el > said <00559  +>amar >

unto


him ,  The LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > hath rent <07167  +qara< > the


kingdom <04468  +mamlakuwth > of Israel <03478  +Yisra>el > from


thee this day <03117  +yowm > ,  and hath given <05414  +nathan

to a neighbour <07453  +rea< > of thine ,   [ that is ]  better


<02896  +towb > than thou .




15 : 29 And also <01571  +gam > the Strength <05331  +netsach >

of


Israel <03478  +Yisra>el > will not lie <08266  +shaqar > nor

<00120

15 : 30 Then he said <00559  +>amar > ,  I have sinned <02398

<07812

15 : 31 So Samuel <08050  +Sh@muw>el > turned <07725  +shuwb >

again


<07725  +shuwb > after <00310  +>achar > Saul <07586  +Sha>uwl >

;


and Saul <07586  +Sha>uwl > worshipped <07812  +shachah > the

LORD

15 : 32 .  Then said <00559  +>amar > Samuel <08050  +Sh@muw>el

And Agag <90> came <01980  +halak > unto him delicately <04574

<00403

past <05493  +cuwr > .




15 : 33 And Samuel <08050  +Sh@muw>el > said <00559  +>amar > ,  

As


thy sword <02719  +chereb > hath made women <00802  +>ishshah >

<03068  +Y@hovah > in Gilgal <01537  +Gilgal > .




15 : 34 Then Samuel <08050  +Sh@muw>el > went <03212  +yalak > to


Ramah <07414  +Ramah > ;  and Saul <07586  +Sha>uwl > went <05927

15 : 35 And Samuel <08050  +Sh@muw>el > came no <03808  +lo> >

16 : 01 .  And the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > said <00559  +>amar >

16 : 02 And Samuel <08050  +Sh@muw>el > said <00559  +>amar > ,  

How

16 : 04 And Samuel <08050  +Sh@muw>el > did <06213  +<asah > that

16 : 07 But the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > said <00559  +>amar >

16 : 08 Then Jesse <03448  +Yishay > called <07121  +qara> >

16 : 13 Then Samuel <08050  +Sh@muw>el > took <03947  +laqach >

17 : 48 .  And it came <01961  +hayah > to pass ,  when <03588

17 : 49 And David <01732  +David > put <07971  +shalach > his

17 : 50 So David <01732  +David > prevailed <02388  +chazaq >

over

17 : 54 And David <01732  +David > took <03947  +laqach > the

17 : 57 And as David <01732  +David > returned <07725  +shuwb >

18 : 02 And Saul <07586  +Sha>uwl > took <03947  +laqach > him

20 : 08 Therefore thou shalt deal <06213  +<asah > kindly <02617

20 : 09 .  And Jonathan <03083  +Y@hownathan > said <00559

20 : 12 And Jonathan <03083  +Y@hownathan > said <00559  +>amar >

20 : 13 The LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > do <06213  +<asah > so <03541


+koh > and much <03254  +yacaph > more <03254  +yacaph > to

then


I will shew <01540  +galah > it thee ,  and send <07971

20 : 14 And thou shalt not only while <00518  +>im > yet <05750

20 : 15 But  [ also ]  thou shalt not cut <03772  +karath > off

thy


kindness <02617  +checed > from my house <01004  +bayith > for

ever


<05769  +<owlam > : no ,  not when the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah >

<01732  +David > every <00376  +>iysh > one <00376  +>iysh > from


the face <06440  +paniym > of the earth <00127  +>adamah > .




20 : 16 So Jonathan <03083  +Y@hownathan > made <03772  +karath

a covenant ]  with the house <01004  +bayith > of David <01732


+David > ,   [ saying ]  ,  Let the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > even


require <01245  +baqash >  [ it ]  at the hand <03027  +yad > of


David s <01732  +David > enemies <00341  +>oyeb > .




20 : 17 And Jonathan <03083  +Y@hownathan > caused David <01732


+David > to swear <07650  +shaba< > again <03254  +yacaph > ,


because he loved <00160  +>ahabah > him : for he loved <00157

+nephesh > .




20 : 18 Then Jonathan <03083  +Y@hownathan > said <00559  +>amar

to David <01732  +David > ,  To morrow <04279  +machar >  [ is ]


the new <02320  +chodesh > moon <02320  +chodesh > : and thou

shalt


be missed <06485  +paqad > ,  because <03588  +kiy > thy seat

<04186


+mowshab > will be empty <06485  +paqad > .




20 : 19 And  [ when ]  thou hast stayed three <08027  +shalash >


days ,   [ then ]  thou shalt go <03381  +yarad > down <03381


+yarad > quickly <03966  +m@<od > ,  and come <00935  +bow> > to

the


place <04725  +maqowm > where thou didst hide <05641  +cathar >

and shalt remain <03427  +yashab > by the stone <68> Ezel <00237

20 : 20 And I will shoot <03384  +yarah > three <07969  

+shalowsh >


arrows <02671  +chets > on the side <06654  +tsad >  [ thereof ]

 ,


as though I shot <07971  +shalach > at a mark <04307  +mattara>

20 : 21 And ,  behold <02009  +hinneh > ,  I will send <07971


+shalach > a lad <05288  +na<ar > ,   [ saying ]  ,  Go <03212

If <00518  +>im > I expressly <00559  +>amar > say <00559

unto the lad <05288  +na<ar > ,  Behold <02009  +hinneh > ,  the


arrows <02671  +chets >  [ are ]  on this <02007  +hennah > side

of


thee ,  take <03947  +laqach > them ;  then come <00935  +bow> >


thou : for  [ there is ]  peace <07965  +shalowm > to thee ,  

and no


<00369  +>ayin > hurt <01697  +dabar > ;   [ as ]  the LORD

<03068


+Y@hovah > liveth <02416  +chay > .




20 : 22 But if <00518  +>im > I say <00559  +>amar > thus <03541


+koh > unto the young <05958  +<elem > man <05958  +<elem > ,


Behold <02009  +hinneh > ,  the arrows <02671  +chets >  [ are ]


beyond <04973  +m@thall@<ah > thee ;  go <03212  +yalak > thy way


<03212  +yalak > : for the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > hath sent

<07971


+shalach > thee away .




20 : 23 And  [ as touching ]  the matter <01697  +dabar > which


<00834  +>aher > thou and I have spoken <01696  +dabar > of ,


behold <02009  +hinneh > ,  the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah >  [ be ]


between <00996  +beyn > thee and me for ever <05769  +<owlam > .




20 : 24 .  So David <01732  +David > hid <05641  +cathar >

himself


in the field <07704  +sadeh > : and when the new <02320  

+chodesh >


moon <02320  +chodesh > was come <01961  +hayah > ,  the king

<04428


+melek > sat <03427  +yashab > him down to eat <00398  +>akal >

meat


<03899  +lechem > .




20 : 25 And the king <04428  +melek > sat <03427  +yashab > upon

his


seat <04186  +mowshab > ,  as at other times <06471  +pa<am > ,  

 [


even ]  upon a seat <04186  +mowshab > by the wall <07023  +qiyr

20 : 26 Nevertheless Saul <07586  +Sha>uwl > spake <01696  

+dabar >


not any <03972  +m@uwmah > thing that day <03117  +yowm > : for

20 : 27 And it came <01961  +hayah > to pass on the morrow <04283

day

20 : 28 And Jonathan <03083  +Y@hownathan > answered <06030  

+<anah

asked

20 : 30 Then Saul s <07586  +Sha>uwl > anger <00639  +>aph > was


kindled <02734  +charah > against Jonathan <03083  +Y@hownathan

20 : 31 For as long <03117  +yowm > as the son <01121  +ben > of

20 : 32 And Jonathan <03083  +Y@hownathan > answered <06030

20 : 33 And Saul <07586  +Sha>uwl > cast <02904  +tuwl > a

javelin

that it was determined <03615  +kalah > of his father <1> to slay


<04191  +muwth > David <01732  +David > .




20 : 34 So Jonathan <03083  +Y@hownathan > arose <06965  +quwm >


from the table <07979  +shulchan > in fierce <02750  +choriy >

20 : 39 But the lad <05288  +na<ar > knew <03045  +yada< > not

24 : 07 So David <01732  +David > stayed <08156  +shaca< > his

24 : 09 .  And David <01732  +David > said <00559  +>amar > to

24 : 12 The LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > judge <08199  +shaphat >

between

24 : 13 As saith <00559  +>amar > the proverb <04912  +mashal >

of

24 : 14 After <00310  +>achar > whom <04310  +miy > is the king

24 : 15 The LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > therefore be judge <01784

24 : 16 .  And it came <01961  +hayah > to pass ,  when David

[ Is ]  this <02088  +zeh > thy voice <06963  +qowl > ,  my son

lifted <05375  +nasa> > up his voice <06963  +qowl > ,  and wept

24 : 17 And he said <00559  +>amar > to David <01732  +David > ,


Thou  [ art ]  more righteous <06662  +tsaddiyq > than I : for

thou


hast rewarded <01580  +gamal > me good <02896  +towb > ,  

whereas I


have rewarded <01580  +gamal > thee evil <07451  +ra< > .




24 : 18 And thou hast shewed <05046  +nagad > this day <03117

delivered <05462  +cagar > me into thine hand <03027  +yad > ,  

thou


killedst <02026  +harag > me not .




24 : 19 For if <03588  +kiy > a man <00376  +>iysh > find <04672

wherefore


the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > reward <07999  +shalam > thee good

this <02088  +zeh > day <03117  +yowm > .




24 : 20 And now <06258  +<attah > ,  behold <02009  +hinneh > ,  

I

24 : 21 Swear <07650  +shaba< > now <06258  +<attah > therefore

unto


me by the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > ,  that thou wilt not cut

<03772

and that thou wilt not destroy <08045  +shamad > my name <08034

24 : 22 And David <01732  +David > sware <07650  +shaba< > unto

Saul


<07586  +Sha>uwl > .  And Saul <07586  +Sha>uwl > went <03212

25 : 01 .  And Samuel <08050  +Sh@muw>el > died <04191  +muwth >

;


and all <03605  +kol > the Israelites <03478  +Yisra>el > were

25 : 02 .  And  [ there was ]  a man <00376  +>iysh > in Maon

25 : 03 Now the name <08034  +shem > of the man <00376  +>iysh >

 [

25 : 04 And David <01732  +David > heard <08085  +shama< > in the


wilderness <04057  +midbar > that Nabal <05037  +Nabal > did

shear

25 : 05 And David <01732  +David > sent <07971  +shalach > out

ten

Get <05927  +<alah > you up to Carmel <03760  +Karmel > ,  and go

25 : 07 And now <06258  +<attah > I have heard <08085  +shama< >


that thou hast shearers <01494  +gazaz > : now thy shepherds

25 : 08 Ask <07592  +sha>al > thy young <05288  +na<ar > men ,  

and

25 : 09 And when David s <01732  +David > young <05288  +na<ar >

25 : 10 And Nabal <05037  +Nabal > answered <06030  +<anah >

David s

25 : 11 Shall I then take <03947  +laqach > my bread <03899

25 : 12 .  So David s <01732  +David > young <05288  +na<ar > men


turned <02015  +haphak > their way <01870  +derek > ,  and went

25 : 14 But one <00259  +>echad > of the young <05288  +na<ar >

25 : 15 But the men <00582  +>enowsh >  [ were ]  very <03966

25 : 16 They were a wall <02346  +chowmah > unto us both <01571

25 : 17 Now <06258  +<attah > therefore know <03045  +yada< > and


consider <07200  +ra>ah > what <04100  +mah > thou wilt do <06213

25 : 18 .  Then Abigail <26> made haste <04116  +mahar > ,  and

took

25 : 19 And she said <00559  +>amar > unto her servants <05288

25 : 37 But it came <01916  +hadom > to pass in the morning

communed <01696  +dabar > with Abigail <26> ,  to take <03947

25 : 40 And when the servants <05650  +<ebed > of David <01732

25 : 41 And she arose <06965  +quwm > ,  and bowed <07812

25 : 42 And Abigail <26> hasted <04116  +mahar > ,  and arose

26 : 02 Then Saul <07586  +Sha>uwl > arose <06965  +quwm > ,  and


went <03381  +yarad > down <03381  +yarad > to the wilderness

26 : 03 And Saul <07586  +Sha>uwl > pitched <02583  +chanah > in

26 : 04 David <01732  +David > therefore sent <07971  +shalach >

out

Saul

26 : 05 And David <01732  +David > arose <06965  +quwm > ,  and

came

26 : 06 .  Then answered <06030  +<anah > David <01732  +David >

26 : 08 Then said <00559  +>amar > Abishai <52> to David <01732

26 : 09 And David <01732  +David > said <00559  +>amar > to

26 : 10 David <01732  +David > said <00559  +>amar > furthermore

,


[ As ]  the LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > liveth <02416  +chay > ,  the

26 : 11 The LORD <03068  +Y@hovah > forbid <02486  +chaliylah >

26 : 12 So David <01732  +David > took <03947  +laqach > the

And


he answered <00559  +>amar > him ,  Pursue <07291  +radaph > :

for


thou shalt surely overtake <05381  +nasag >  [ them ]  ,  and


without fail recover <05337  +natsal >  [ all ]  .




30 : 09 So David <01732  +David > went <03212  +yalak > ,  he and


the six <08337  +shesh > hundred <03967  +me>ah > men <00376

30 : 10 But David <01732  +David > pursued <07291  +radaph > ,  

he

30 : 11 And they found <04672  +matsa> > an Egyptian <04713

30 : 12 And they gave <05414  +nathan > him a piece <06400

when he had eaten <00398  +>akal > ,  his spirit <07307  +ruwach

came <07725  +shuwb > again <07725  +shuwb > to him : for he had

30 : 13 And David <01732  +David > said <00559  +>amar > unto

him ,


To whom <04310  +miy >  [ belongest ]  thou ?  and whence  [ art

thou ?  And he said <00559  +>amar > ,  I  [ am ]  a young <05288

three

30 : 14 We made an invasion <06584  +pashat >  [ upon ]  the

30 : 15 And David <01732  +David > said <00559  +>amar > to him ,


Canst thou bring <03381  +yarad > me down <03381  +yarad > to

30 : 16 And when he had brought <03381  +yarad > him down <03381

30 : 17 And David <01732  +David > smote <05221  +nakah > them

30 : 18 And David <01732  +David > recovered <05337  +natsal >

30 : 21 .  And David <01732  +David > came <00935  +bow> > to the

30 : 23 Then said <00559  +>amar > David <01732  +David > ,  Ye
