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> 
arose <06965> (8799), and went <03212> (8799) all night <03915>, 
and took <03947> (8799) the body <01472> of Saul <07586> and the 
bodies <01472> of his sons <01121> from the wall <02346> of 
Bethshan <01052>, and came <0935> (8799) to Jabesh <03003>, and 
burnt <08313> (8799) them there.

1Sa 31:13  And they took <03947> (8799) their bones <06106>, and 
buried <06912> (8799) them under a tree <0815> at Jabesh <03003>,
 and fasted <06684> (8799) seven <07651> days <03117>.
