1 Samuel 26

Webster_Strongs(i)
  1 H2130 And the Ziphites H935 [H8799] came H7586 to Saul H1390 to Gibeah H559 [H8800] , saying H1732 , Doth not David H5641 [H8693] hide H1389 himself in the hill H2444 of Hachilah H6440 , which is before H3452 Jeshimon?
  2 H7586 Then Saul H6965 [H8799] arose H3381 [H8799] , and went down H4057 to the wilderness H2128 of Ziph H7969 , having three H505 thousand H977 [H8803] chosen H376 men H3478 of Israel H1245 [H8763] with him, to seek H1732 David H4057 in the wilderness H2128 of Ziph.
  3 H7586 And Saul H2583 [H8799] encamped H1389 in the hill H2444 of Hachilah H6440 , which is before H3452 Jeshimon H1870 , by the way H1732 . But David H3427 [H8802] abode H4057 in the wilderness H7200 [H8799] , and he saw H7586 that Saul H935 [H8804] came H310 after H4057 him into the wilderness.
  4 H1732 David H7971 [H8799] therefore sent out H7270 [H8764] spies H3045 [H8799] , and understood H7586 that Saul H935 [H8804] had come H3559 [H8737] in very deed.
  5 H1732 And David H6965 [H8799] arose H935 [H8799] , and came H4725 to the place H7586 where Saul H2583 [H8804] had encamped H1732 : and David H7200 [H8799] beheld H4725 the place H7586 where Saul H7901 [H8804] lay H74 , and Abner H1121 the son H5369 of Ner H8269 , the captain H6635 of his host H7586 : and Saul H7901 [H8802] lay H4570 in the trench H5971 , and the people H2583 [H8802] encamped H5439 around him.
  6 H6030 [H8799] Then answered H1732 David H559 [H8799] and said H288 to Ahimelech H2850 the Hittite H52 , and to Abishai H1121 the son H6870 of Zeruiah H251 , brother H3097 to Joab H559 [H8800] , saying H3381 [H8799] , Who will go down H7586 with me to Saul H4264 to the camp H52 ? And Abishai H559 [H8799] said H3381 [H8799] , I will go down with thee.
  7 H1732 So David H52 and Abishai H935 [H8799] came H5971 to the people H3915 by night H7586 : and, behold, Saul H7901 [H8802] lay H3463 sleeping H4570 within the trench H2595 , and his spear H4600 [H8803] stuck H776 in the ground H4763 at his head H74 : but Abner H5971 and the people H7901 [H8802] lay H5439 about him.
  8 H559 [H8799] Then said H52 Abishai H1732 to David H430 , God H5462 [H8765] hath delivered H341 [H8802] thy enemy H3027 into thy hand H3117 this day H5221 [H8686] : now therefore let me smite H2595 him, I pray thee, with the spear H776 even to the earth H6471 H259 at once H8138 [H8799] , and I will not smite him the second time.
  9 H1732 And David H559 [H8799] said H52 to Abishai H7843 [H8686] , Destroy H7971 [H8804] him not: for who can stretch forth H3027 his hand H3068 against the LORD'S H4899 anointed H5352 [H8738] , and be guiltless?
  10 H1732 David H559 [H8799] said H3068 furthermore, As the LORD H2416 liveth H3068 , the LORD H5062 [H8799] shall smite H3117 him; or his day H935 [H8799] shall come H4191 [H8804] to die H3381 [H8799] ; or he shall descend H4421 into battle H5595 [H8738] , and perish.
  11 H3068 The LORD H2486 forbid H7971 [H8800] that I should stretch forth H3027 my hand H3068 against the LORD'S H4899 anointed H3947 [H8798] : but, I pray thee, take H2595 thou now the spear H4763 that is at his head H6835 , and the cruse H4325 of water H3212 [H8799] , and let us go.
  12 H1732 So David H3947 [H8799] took H2595 the spear H6835 and the cruse H4325 of water H7586 from beside Saul's H7226 head H3212 [H8799] ; and they departed H7200 [H8802] , and no man saw H3045 [H8802] it, nor knew H6974 [H8688] it, neither awoke H3463 : for they were all asleep H8639 ; because a deep sleep H3068 from the LORD H5307 [H8804] had fallen upon them.
  13 H1732 Then David H5674 [H8799] went over H5676 to the other side H5975 [H8799] , and stood H7218 on the top H2022 of an hill H7350 afar off H7227 ; a great H4725 space being between them:
  14 H1732 And David H7121 [H8799] cried H5971 to the people H74 , and to Abner H1121 the son H5369 of Ner H559 [H8800] , saying H6030 [H8799] , Answerest H74 thou not, Abner H74 ? Then Abner H6030 [H8799] answered H559 [H8799] and said H7121 [H8804] , Who art thou that criest H4428 to the king?
  15 H1732 And David H559 [H8799] said H74 to Abner H376 , Art not thou a valiant man H3478 ? and who is like thee in Israel H8104 [H8804] ? why then hast thou not kept H113 thy lord H4428 the king H935 [H8804] ? for there came H259 in one H5971 of the people H7843 [H8687] to destroy H4428 the king H113 thy lord.
  16 H1697 This thing H2896 is not good H6213 [H8804] that thou hast done H3068 . As the LORD H2416 liveth H1121 , ye are worthy H4194 to die H8104 [H8804] , because ye have not kept H113 your master H3068 , the LORD'S H4899 anointed H7200 [H8798] . 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 [H8686] knew H1732 David's H6963 voice H559 [H8799] , and said H6963 , Is this thy voice H1121 , my son H1732 David H1732 ? And David H559 [H8799] said H6963 , It is my voice H113 , my lord H4428 , O king.
  18 H559 [H8799] And he said H113 , Why doth my lord H7291 H310 [H8802] thus pursue H5650 his servant H6213 [H8804] ? 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 [H8799] hear H1697 the words H5650 of his servant H3068 . If the LORD H5496 [H8689] hath stirred thee up H7306 [H8686] against me, let him accept H4503 an offering H1121 : but if they are the children H120 of men H779 [H8803] , cursed H6440 be they before H3068 the LORD H1644 [H8765] ; for they have driven H3117 me out this day H5596 [H8692] from abiding H5159 in the inheritance H3068 of the LORD H559 [H8800] , saying H3212 [H8798] , Go H5647 [H8798] , serve H312 other H430 gods.
  20 H1818 Now therefore, let not my blood H5307 [H8799] fall H776 to the earth H6440 before the face H3068 of the LORD H4428 : for the king H3478 of Israel H3318 [H8804] hath come out H1245 [H8763] to seek H259 a H6550 flea H7291 [H8799] , as when one doth hunt H7124 a partridge H2022 in the mountains.
  21 H559 [H8799] Then said H7586 Saul H2398 [H8804] , I have sinned H7725 [H8798] : return H1121 , my son H1732 David H7489 [H8686] : for I will no more do thee harm H5315 , because my soul H3365 [H8804] was precious H5869 in thy eyes H3117 this day H5528 [H8689] : behold, I have played the fool H7686 [H8799] , and have erred H7235 H3966 [H8687] exceedingly.
  22 H1732 And David H6030 [H8799] answered H559 [H8799] and said H4428 , Behold the king's H2595 spear H259 ! and let one H5288 of the young men H5674 [H8799] come over H3947 [H8799] and take it.
  23 H3068 The LORD H7725 [H8686] render H376 to every man H6666 his righteousness H530 and his faithfulness H3068 : for the LORD H5414 [H8804] delivered H3027 thee into my hand H3117 to day H14 [H8804] , but I would H7971 [H8800] not stretch forth H3027 my hand H3068 against the LORD'S H4899 anointed.
  24 H5315 And, behold, as thy life H1431 [H8804] was precious H3117 this day H5869 in my eyes H5315 , so let my life H1431 [H8799] be precious H5869 in the eyes H3068 of the LORD H5337 [H8686] , and let him deliver H6869 me out of all tribulation.
  25 H7586 Then Saul H559 [H8799] said H1732 to David H1288 [H8803] , Blessed H1121 be thou, my son H1732 David H6213 [H8799] : thou shalt both do H6213 [H8800] great H3201 [H8800] things, and also shalt still H3201 [H8799] prevail H1732 . So David H3212 [H8799] went H1870 on his way H7586 , and Saul H7725 [H8804] returned H4725 to his place.
