Hannah <02584 +Channah > , and the name <08034 +shem > of the

Peninnah

but Hannah <02584 +Channah > had no <00369 +>ayin > children

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

unto the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > of hosts <06635 +tsaba> > in

Shiloh <07887 +Shiyloh > . And the two <08147 +sh@nayim > sons

01 : 04 And when the time <03117 +yowm > was that Elkanah <00511

and

to all <03605 +kol > her sons <01121 +ben > and her daughters

01 : 05 But unto Hannah <02584 +Channah > he gave <05414

+nathan >

a worthy <00639 +>aph > portion <04490 +manah > ; for he loved

<00157 +>ahab > Hannah <02584 +Channah > : but the LORD <03068

+Y@hovah > had shut <05462 +cagar > up her womb <07358 +rechem

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

<03068

+Y@hovah > had shut <05462 +cagar > up her womb <07358 +rechem

01 : 07 And [ as ] he did <06213 +<asah > so <03651 +ken >

year

<08141 +shaneh > by year<08141 +shaneh > , when <01767 +day >

she went <05927 +<alah > up to the house <01004 +bayith > of

the

LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , so <03651 +ken > she provoked <03707

+ka<ac > her ; therefore she wept <01058 +bakah > , and did

<06213 +<asah > not eat <00398 +>akal > .

01 : 08 Then said <00559 +>amar > Elkanah <00511 +>Elqanah >

her

husband <00376 +>iysh > to her , Hannah <02584 +Channah > ,

why

<04100 +mah > weepest <01058 +bakah > thou ? and why <04100

+mah

thy

heart <03824 +lebab > grieved <07489 +ra<a< > ? [ am ] not I

better <02896 +towb > to thee than ten <06235 +<eser > sons

<01121

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

after <00310 +>achar > they had eaten <00398 +>akal > in Shiloh

<07887 +Shiyloh > , and after <00310 +>achar > they had drunk

<08354 +shathah > . Now Eli <05941 +<Eliy > the priest <03548

+kohen > sat <03427 +yashab > upon a seat <03678 +kicce> > by a

post <04201 +m@zuwzah > of the temple <01964 +heykal > of the

LORD

01 : 10 And she [ was ] in bitterness <04751 +mar > of soul

<05315 +nephesh > , and prayed <06419 +palal > unto the LORD

<03068 +Y@hovah > , and wept <01058 +bakah > sore .

01 : 11 And she vowed <05087 +nadar > a vow <05088 +neder > ,

and

said <00559 +>amar > , O LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > of hosts

<06635

<07911 +shakach > thine handmaid <00519 +>amah > , but wilt

give

<05414 +nathan > unto thine handmaid <00519 +>amah > a man

<00582

the days <03117 +yowm > of his life <02416 +chay > , and there

shall no <03808 +lo> > razor <04177 +mowrah > come <05927

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

<07235 +rabah > praying <06419 +palal > before <06440 +paniym

the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , that Eli <05941 +<Eliy > marked

<08104 +shamar > her mouth <06310 +peh > .

01 : 13 Now Hannah <02584 +Channah > , she spake <01696

+dabar >

in her heart <03820 +leb > ; only <07535 +raq > her lips

<08193

+saphah > moved <05128 +nuwa< > , but her voice <06963 +qowl >

was not heard <08085 +shama< > : therefore Eli <05941 +<Eliy >

thought <02803 +chashab > she had been drunken <07910

+shikkowr >

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

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

<07937

+shakar > ? put <05493 +cuwr > away <05493 +cuwr > thy wine

<03196 +yayin > from thee .

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

and

said <00559 +>amar > , No <03808 +lo> > , my lord <00113

+>adown > , I [ am ] a woman <00802 +>ishshah > of a

sorrowful

<07186 +qasheh > spirit <07307 +ruwach > : I have drunk <07937

+shakar > neither <03808 +lo> > wine <03196 +yayin > nor strong

drink <07941 +shekar > , but have poured <08210 +shaphak >

out my

soul <05315 +nephesh > before <06440 +paniym > the LORD <03068

+Y@hovah > .

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

for a daughter <01323 +bath > of Belial <01100 +b@liya<al > :

for

out of the abundance <07230 +rob > of my complaint <07878

+siyach

> and grief <03708 +ka<ac > have I spoken <01696 +dabar >

hitherto

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

said

<00559 +>amar > , Go <03212 +yalak > in peace <07965

+shalowm >

: and the God <00430 +>elohiym > of Israel <03478 +Yisra>el >

grant <05414 +nathan > [ thee ] thy petition <07596

+sh@>elah >

that thou hast asked <07592 +sha>al > of him .

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

<08198

+shiphchah > find <04672 +matsa> > grace <02580 +chen > in thy

sight <05869 +<ayin > . So the woman <00802 +>ishshah > went

<03212 +yalak > her way <01870 +derek > , and did eat <00398

+lo> > more <05750 +<owd > [ sad ] .

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

<01242

+boqer > early <07925 +shakam > , and worshipped <07812

+shachah

returned <07725 +shuwb > , and came <00935 +bow> > to their

house

<01004 +bayith > to Ramah <07414 +Ramah > : and Elkanah <00511

wife

<00802 +>ishshah > ; and the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > remembered

<02142 +zakar > her .

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

time

<03117 +yowm > was come <08622 +t@quwphah > about after Hannah

<02584 +Channah > had conceived <02030 +hareh > , that she

bare

<03205 +yalad > a son <01121 +ben > , and called <07121

his name <08034 +shem > Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > , [

saying ]

, Because <03588 +kiy > I have asked <07592 +sha>al > him of

the

LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > .

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

and all <03605 +kol > his house <01004 +bayith > , went <05927

+<alah > up to offer <02076 +zabach > unto the LORD <03068

+Y@hovah > the yearly <03117 +yowm > sacrifice <02077 +zebach

and his vow <05088 +neder > .

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

up ;

for she said <00559 +>amar > unto her husband <00376 +>iysh > ,

[ I will not go up ] until <05704 +<ad > the child <05288

LORD

<03068 +Y@hovah > , and there <08033 +sham > abide <03427

+yashab > for ever <05769 +<owlam > .

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

said <00559 +>amar > unto her , Do <06213 +<asah > what

seemeth

<05869 +<ayin > thee good <02896 +towb > ; tarry <03427

+yashab

only

<00389 +>ak > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > establish <06965

his word <01697 +dabar > . So the woman <00802 +>ishshah >

abode

<03427 +yashab > , and gave her son <01121 +ben > suck <03243

+yanaq > until <05704 +<ad > she weaned <01580 +gamal > him .

01 : 24 And when <00834 +>aher > she had weaned <01580 +gamal >

him , she took <05927 +<alah > him up with her , with three

<07969 +shalowsh > bullocks <06499 +par > , and one <00259

and

a bottle <05035 +nebel > of wine <03196 +yayin > , and brought

<00935 +bow> > him unto the house <01004 +bayith > of the LORD

<03068 +Y@hovah > in Shiloh <07887 +Shiyloh > : and the child

<05288 +na<ar > [ was ] young <05288 +na<ar > .

01 : 25 And they slew <07819 +shachat > a bullock <06499 +par

and brought <00935 +bow> > the child <05288 +na<ar > to Eli

<05941

01 : 26 And she said <00559 +>amar > , Oh <00994 +biy > my

lord

<00113 +>adown > , [ as ] thy soul <05315 +nephesh > liveth

<02416 +chay > , my lord <00113 +>adown > , I [ am ] the

woman

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

<06419 +palal > ; and the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > hath given

<05414 +nathan > me my petition <07596 +sh@>elah > which <00834

01 : 28 Therefore also <01571 +gam > I have lent <07592

him to the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > ; as long <03117 +yowm > as

liveth <03117 +yowm > he shall be lent <07592 +sha>al > to the

LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > . And he worshipped <07812 +shachah >

the

LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > there <08033 +sham > .

02 : 01 . And Hannah <02584 +Channah > prayed <06419 +palal >

and said <00559 +>amar > , My heart <03820 +leb > rejoiceth

02 : 02 [ There is ] none <00369 +>ayin > holy <06918

arrogancy

02 : 04 The bows <07198 +qesheth > of the mighty <01368

men [ are ] broken <02744 +Charchuwr > , and they that

stumbled

<03782 +kashal > are girded <00247 +>azar > with strength

02 : 05 [ They that were ] full <07646 +saba< > have hired

they

that were ] hungry <07456 +ra<eb > ceased <02308 +chadal > :

02 : 06 The LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > killeth <04191 +muwth > ,

02 : 10 The adversaries <07378 +riyb > of the LORD <03068

02 : 12 Now the sons <01121 +ben > of Eli <05941 +<Eliy > [

knew

02 : 13 And the priests <03548 +kohen > custom <04941

02 : 15 Also <01571 +gam > before <02962 +terem > they burnt

02 : 16 And [ if ] any man <00376 +>iysh > said <00559

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

house

03 : 15 And Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > lay <07901 +shakab >

08 : 02 Now the name <08034 +shem > of his firstborn <01060

judges <08199 +shaphat > in Beersheba <00884 +B@>er Sheba< > .

08 : 03 And his sons <01121 +ben > walked <01980 +halak > not

08 : 04 . Then all <03605 +kol > the elders <02205 +zaqen > of

08 : 06 But the thing <01697 +dabar > displeased Samuel <08050

08 : 07 And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > said <00559 +>amar >

08 : 08 According to all <03605 +kol > the works <04639

15 : 16 Then Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > said <00559 +>amar >

unto

Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > , Stay <07503 +raphah > , and I will

15 : 17 And Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > said <00559 +>amar > ,

Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > ?

15 : 18 And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > sent <07971 +shalach >

thee

on a journey <01870 +derek > , and said <00559 +>amar > , Go

15 : 19 Wherefore <04100 +mah > then didst thou not obey <08085

15 : 20 And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > said <00559 +>amar > unto

Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > , Yea <00834 +>aher > , I have

obeyed

<08085 +shama< > the voice <06963 +qowl > of the LORD <03068

15 : 21 But the people <05971 +<am > took <03947 +laqach > of

the

spoil <07998 +shalal > , sheep <06629 +tso>n > and oxen <01241

sacrifice

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 >

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

<03808

<00120

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

+chata> > : [ yet ] honour <03513 +kabad > me now <06258

+<attah

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

<03068 +Y@hovah > .

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

Bring <05066 +nagash > ye hither <05066 +nagash > to me Agag

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

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

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

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

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

16 : 03 And call <07121 +qara> > Jesse <03448 +Yishay > to the

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

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

20 : 11 And Jonathan <03083 +Y@hownathan > said <00559 +>amar >

unto David <01732 +David > , Come <03212 +yalak > , and let

they

went <03318 +yatsa> > out both <08174 +Sha<aph > of them into

the

field <07704 +sadeh > .

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

unto David <01732 +David > , O LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > God

there be ] good <02896 +towb > toward <00413 +>el > David

<01732

+David > , and I then <00227 +>az > send <07971 +shalach > not

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

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

Jonathan

<03083 +Y@hownathan > : but if <03588 +kiy > it please <03190

+yatab > my father <1> [ to do ] thee evil <07451 +ra< > ,

then

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

thee away , that thou mayest go <01980 +halak > in peace <07965

hath been <01961 +hayah > with my father <1> .

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

kindness

<02617 +checed > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , that I die

<04191 +muwth > not :

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 >

hath

cut <03772 +karath > off the enemies <00341 +>oyeb > of David

<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

+>ahab > him as he loved <00160 +>ahabah > his own soul <05315

+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 >

thyself when the business <04639 +ma<aseh > was [ in hand ] ,

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

+yalak > , find <04672 +matsa> > out the arrows <02671 +chets

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

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

and Jonathan <03083 +Y@hownathan > arose <06965 +quwm > , and

Abner <74> sat <03427 +yashab > by Saul s <07586 +Sha>uwl >

side

<06654 +tsad > , and David s <01732 +David > place <04725

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

+dabar >

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

thought <00559 +>amar > , Something <04745 +miqreh > hath

befallen <04745 +miqreh > him , he [ is ] not clean <02889

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

+mochorath > , [ which was ] the second <08145 +sheniy > [

day

] of the month <02320 +chodesh > , that David s <01732

<08543 +t@mowl > , nor <01571 +gam > to day <03117 +yowm > ?

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

+<anah

> Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > , David <01732 +David > earnestly

asked

<07592 +sha>al > [ leave ] of me [ to go ] to Bethlehem

20 : 29 And he said <00559 +>amar > , Let me go <07971

, I pray <04994 +na> > thee ; for our family <04940

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

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

to thine own confusion <01322 +bosheth > , and unto the

confusion

<01322 +bosheth > of thy mother s <00517 +>em > nakedness

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

Jesse <03448 +Yishay > liveth <02425 +chayay > upon the ground

<00127 +>adamah > , thou shalt not be established <03559

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 >

anger

his

20 : 35 . And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass in the morning

20 : 37 And when the lad <05288 +na<ar > was come <00935 +bow>

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

20 : 40 And Jonathan <03083 +Y@hownathan > gave <05414 +nathan

Ahimelech <00288 +>Achiymelek > the priest <03548 +kohen > ,

The

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

with me : forasmuch as when the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > had

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

thou

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 > ,

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

unto

<03772

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

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

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

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

Carmel <03760 +Karmel > ; and the man <00376 +>iysh > [ was ]

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

[

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

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

<07462

+ra<ah > which <00834 +>aher > were with us , we hurt <03637

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

and

they will shew <05046 +nagad > thee . Wherefore let the young

to thy son <01121 +ben > David <01732 +David > .

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

men

came <00935 +bow> > , they spake <01696 +dabar > to Nabal

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 >

to salute <01288 +barak > our master <00113 +>adown > ; and he

railed <05860 +<iyt > on them .

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 : 20 And it was [ so , as ] she rode <07392 +rakab > on

25 : 21 Now David <01732 +David > had <01961 +hayah > said

25 : 22 So <03541 +koh > and more <03254 +yacaph > also <03541

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

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