H2130
And the Ziphites
H935
came
H7586
unto Saul
H1390
to Gibeah,
H559
saying,
H1732
Doth not David
H5641
hide
H1389
himself in the hill
H2444
of Hachilah,
H6440
which is before
H3452
the desert?
2
H7586
Then Saul
H6965
arose,
H3381
and went down
H4057
to the wilderness
H2128
of Ziph,
H7969
having three
H505
thousand
H977
chosen
H376
men
H3478
of Israel
H1245
with him, to seek
H1732
David
H4057
in the wilderness
H2128
of Ziph.
3
H7586
And Saul
H2583
encamped
H1389
in the hill
H2444
of Hachilah,
H6440
which is before
H3452
the desert,
H1870
by the way.
H1732
But David
H3427
abode
H4057
in the wilderness,
H7200
and he saw
H7586
that Saul
H935
came
H310
after
H4057
him into the wilderness.
4
H1732
David
H7971
therefore sent out
H7270
spies,
H3045
and understood
H7586
that Saul
H935
was come
H3559
of a certainty.
5
H1732
And David
H6965
arose,
H935
and came
H4725
to the place
H7586
where Saul
H2583
had encamped;
H1732
and David
H7200
beheld
H4725
the place
H7586
where Saul
H7901
lay,
H74
and Abner
H1121
the son
H5369
of Ner,
H8269
the captain
H6635
of his host:
H7586
and Saul
H7901
lay
H4570
within the place
H5971
of the wagons, and the people
H2583
were encamped
H5439
round about him.
6
H6030
Then answered
H1732
David
H559
and said
H288
to Ahimelech
H2850
the Hittite,
H52
and to Abishai
H1121
the son
H6870
of Zeruiah,
H251
brother
H3097
to Joab,
H559
saying,
H3381
Who will go down
H7586
with me to Saul
H4264
to the camp?
H52
And Abishai
H559
said,
H3381
I will go down with thee.
7
H1732
So David
H52
and Abishai
H935
came
H5971
to the people
H3915
by night:
H7586
and, behold, Saul
H7901
lay
H3463
sleeping
H4570
within the place
H2595
of the wagons, with his spear
H4600
stuck
H776
in the ground
H4763
at his head;
H74
and Abner
H5971
and the people
H7901
lay
H5439
round about him.
8
H559
Then said
H52
Abishai
H1732
to David,
H430
God
H5462
hath delivered
H341
up thine enemy
H3027
into thy hand
H3117
this day:
H5221
now therefore let me smite
H2595
him, I pray thee, with the spear
H776
to the earth
H6471
at one stroke,
H8138
and I will not smite him the second time.
9
H1732
And David
H559
said
H52
to Abishai,
H7843
Destroy
H7971
him not; for who can put forth
H3027
his hand
H3068
against Jehovah's
H4899
anointed,
H5352
and be guiltless?
10
H1732
And David
H559
said,
H3068
As Jehovah
H2416
liveth,
H3068
Jehovah
H5062
will smite
H3117
him; or his day
H935
shall come
H4191
to die;
H935
or he shall go
H4421
down into battle
H5595
and perish.
11
H3068
Jehovah
H2486
forbid
H7971
that I should put forth
H3027
my hand
H3068
against Jehovah's
H4899
anointed:
H3947
but now take,
H2595
I pray thee, the spear
H4763
that is at his head,
H6835
and the cruse
H4325
of water,
H3212
and let us go.
12
H1732
So David
H3947
took
H2595
the spear
H6835
and the cruse
H4325
of water
H7586
from Saul's
H7226
head;
H3212
and they gat them away:
H7200
and no man saw
H3045
it, nor knew
H6974
it, neither did any awake;
H3463
for they were all asleep,
H8639
because a deep sleep
H3068
from Jehovah
H5307
was fallen upon them.
13
H1732
Then David
H5674
went over
H5676
to the other side,
H5975
and stood
H7218
on the top
H2022
of the mountain
H7350
afar off;
H7227
a great
H4725
space being between them;
14
H1732
and David
H7121
cried
H5971
to the people,
H74
and to Abner
H1121
the son
H5369
of Ner,
H559
saying,
H6030
Answerest
H74
thou not, Abner?
H74
Then Abner
H6030
answered
H559
and said,
H7121
Who art thou that criest
H4428
to the king?
15
H1732
And David
H559
said
H74
to Abner,
H376
Art not thou a valiant man?
H3478
and who is like to thee in Israel?
H8104
wherefore then hast thou not kept
H113
watch over thy lord
H4428
the king?
H935
for there came
H259
one
H5971
of the people
H7843
in to destroy
H4428
the king
H113
thy lord.
16
H1697
This thing
H2896
is not good
H6213
that thou hast done.
H3068
As Jehovah
H2416
liveth,
H1121
ye are worthy
H4194
to die,
H8104
because ye have not kept
H113
watch over your lord,
H3068
Jehovah's
H4899
anointed.
H7200
And now see
H4428
where the king's
H2595
spear
H6835
is, and the cruse
H4325
of water
H4763
that was at his head.
17
H7586
And Saul
H5234
knew
H1732
David's
H6963
voice,
H559
and said,
H6963
Is this thy voice,
H1121
my son
H1732
David?
H1732
And David
H559
said,
H6963
It is my voice,
H113
my lord,
H4428
O king.
18
H559
And he said,
H113
Wherefore doth my lord
H7291
pursue
H310
after
H5650
his servant?
H6213
for what have I done?
H7451
or what evil
H3027
is in my hand?
19
H113
Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord
H4428
the king
H8085
hear
H1697
the words
H5650
of his servant.
H3068
If it be Jehovah
H5496
that hath stirred thee up
H7306
against me, let him accept
H4503
an offering:
H1121
but if it be the children
H120
of men,
H779
cursed
H6440
be they before
H3068
Jehovah:
H1644
for they have driven
H3117
me out this day
H5596
that I should not cleave
H5159
unto the inheritance
H3068
of Jehovah,
H559
saying,
H3212
Go,
H5647
serve
H312
other
H430
gods.
20
H1818
Now therefore, let not my blood
H5307
fall
H776
to the earth
H6440
away from the presence
H3068
of Jehovah:
H4428
for the king
H3478
of Israel
H3318
is come out
H1245
to seek
H259
a
H6550
flea,
H7291
as when one doth hunt
H7124
a partridge
H2022
in the mountains.
21
H559
Then said
H7586
Saul,
H2398
I have sinned:
H7725
return,
H1121
my son
H1732
David;
H7489
for I will no more do thee harm,
H5315
because my life
H3365
was precious
H5869
in thine eyes
H3117
this day:
H5528
behold, I have played the fool,
H7686
and have erred
H7235
exceedingly.
22
H1732
And David
H6030
answered
H559
and said,
H2595
Behold the spear,
H4428
O king!
H259
let then one
H5288
of the young men
H5674
come over
H3947
and fetch it.
23
H3068
And Jehovah
H7725
will render
H376
to every man
H6666
his righteousness
H530
and his faithfulness;
H3068
forasmuch as Jehovah
H5414
delivered
H3027
thee into my hand
H3117
to-day,
H14
and I would
H7971
not put forth
H3027
my hand
H3068
against Jehovah's
H4899
anointed.
