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.
