DAVID AND YAH NATHAN
And so be it, he finishes wording to Shaul, and the soul of Yah Nathan binds with the soul of David; and Yah Nathan loves him as his own soul. ² And Shaul takes him that day and gives him to not return to the house of his father. ³ And Yah Nathan and David cut a covenant because he loves him as his own soul: ⁴ and Yah Nathan strips himself of the mantle on him and of his uniform even to his sword and to his bow and to his girdle and gives it to David. ⁵ And David goes wherever Shaul sends him and comprehends: and Shaul sets him over the men of war: and he is well-pleasing in the eyes of all the people and also in the eyes of the servants of Shaul. ⁶ And so be it, as they come, as David returns from smiting the Peleshethiy, that the women go from all cities of Yisra El singing and round dancing to meet sovereign Shaul with tambourines with cheer and with triangles. ⁷ And the women answer as they entertain, and say, Shaul smites his thousands and David his myriads. ⁸ And Shaul inflames mightily and the word is evil in his eyes; and he says, To David they give myriads and to me they give thousands: and what more, except the sovereigndom? ⁹ - and Shaul eyes David from that day and beyond. ¹⁰
SHAUL FEARS DAVID
And so be it, on the morrow, the evil spirit from Elohim prospers on Shaul; and he prophesies midst the house: and David strums with his hand, as day by day: and there is a spear in the hand of Shaul: ¹¹ and Shaul casts the spear; for, he says, I smite David even to the wall. And David turns aside from his face two times: ¹² and Shaul awes at the face of David, because Yah Veh is with him and turns aside from Shaul: ¹³ and Shaul turns aside from him and sets him his governor over a thousand: and he goes and comes at the face of the people. ¹⁴ And David comprehends in all his ways; and Yah Veh is with him: ¹⁵ and Shaul sees that he comprehends mightily, and he sojourns from his face: ¹⁶ and all Yisra El and Yah Hudah love David, because he goes and comes at their face. ¹⁷ And Shaul says to David, Behold my greater daughter Merab, I give you her to woman: only, become a son of valour for me and fight the wars of Yah Veh. And Shaul says, That my hand becomes not on him, but that the hand of the Peleshethiy becomes on him. ¹⁸ And David says to Shaul, Who am I? And what is my life? Or the family of my father in Yisra El? And that I become son in law to the sovereign? ¹⁹ And so be it, at the time to give Merab the daughter of Shaul to David, he gives her to Adri El the Mecholathiy to woman. ²⁰ And Michal the daughter of Shaul loves David: and they tell Shaul; and the word is straight in his eyes. ²¹ And Shaul says, I give her to him, for a snare to him; and that the hand of the Peleshethiy be against him. So Shaul says to David a second time, This day you become my son in law. ²² And Shaul misvahs his servants, Word with David undercover, and say, Behold, the sovereign delights in you and all his servants love you: and now become son in law to the sovereign. ²³ And the servants of Shaul word those words in the ears of David. And David says, Seems it trifling in your eyes to become son in law to the sovereign - seeing that I am impoverished and abased? ²⁴ And the servants of Shaul tell him, saying, David words according to these words. ²⁵ And Shaul says, Say thus to David: The sovereign delights not in any dowry except a hundred foreskins of the Peleshethiy; to be avenged of the enemies of the sovereign. And Shaul fabricates that David fall by the hand of the Peleshethiy: ²⁶ and his servants tell David these words; and the word is straight in the eyes of David - to be the son in law of the sovereign: but the days never fulfill. ²⁷ And David rises and goes, he and his men, and smite two hundred men of the Peleshethiy; and David brings their foreskins; and they give them fully to the sovereign, to become son in law to the sovereign. - and Shaul gives him Michal his daughter to woman. ²⁸ And Shaul sees and knows Yah Veh is with David and that Michal the daughter of Shaul loves him: ²⁹ and Shaul adds to awe to face David; and Shaul becomes an enemy of David all days. ³⁰ And the governors of the Peleshethiy come: and so be it, after they come, David comprehends more than all the servants of Shaul; so that his name is mightily esteemed.

³⁰ And now, when I come to your servant my father, and the lad is not with us; seeing that his soul is bound up in the soul of the lad;

⁶ When your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter, or the woman of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, goads you covertly, saying, Come and serve other elohim whom you know not - you, nor thy fathers;

¹¹ And all the men of Yisra El gather against the city - companions as one man:

THE VICTORY OF YAH NATHAN
And so be it, on a day, Yah Nathan the son of Shaul says to the lad who bears his instruments, Come and we pass over to the standing camp of the Peleshethiy beyond; and he tells not his father: ² and Shaul settles in the extremity of Gibah under a pomegranate tree in Migron: and the people with him are about six hundred men; ³ and Achiy Yah the son of Achiy Tub, the brother of Iy Chabod the son of Pinechas the son of Eli priest of Yah Veh in Shiloh bears an ephod: and the people know not that Yah Nathan is gone: ⁴ and between the passages by which Yah Nathan seeks to pass over to the standing camp of the Peleshethiy, there is a tooth of the rock on the one side and a tooth of the rock on the one side: and the name of the one is Boses/Bleached Linen and the name of the one Seneh/Bush: ⁵ the tooth of the one is pillared northward opposite Michmash and the one southward opposite Gibah. ⁶ And Yah Nathan says to the lad who bears his instruments, Come, and we pass over to the standing camp of these uncircumcised: perhaps Yah Veh works for us: for there is no hindrance to Yah Veh to save by many or by few. ⁷ And his instrument bearer says to him, Work all that is in your heart! Spread! Behold, I am with you according to your heart. ⁸ Then Yah Nathan says, Behold, we pass over to these men and expose ourselves to them: ⁹ if they say thus to us, Hush until we touch you! - then we stand in our place and ascend not to them. ¹⁰ And if they say thus, Ascend to us! - we ascend: for Yah Veh gives them into our hand: and this is our sign. ¹¹ And both of them expose themselves to the standing camp of the Peleshethiy: and the Peleshethiy say, Behold, the Hebrews come from the holes where they hide themselves. ¹² And the men of the station answer Yah Nathan and his instrument bearer, and say, Ascend to us and we have you know a word. And Yah Nathan says to his instrument bearer, Ascend after me: for Yah Veh gives them into the hand of Yisra El. ¹³ And Yah Nathan ascends on his hands and on his feet and his instrument bearer after him: and they fall at the face of Yah Nathan; and his instrument bearer after him deathifies: ¹⁴ and the first stroke Yah Nathan and his instrument bearer smite is about twenty men - within as it were a half furrow of an acre of a field.

⁴⁵ And the people say to Shaul, Yah Nathan - who worked this great salvation in Yisra El - die? Far be it: Yah Veh lives, not one hair of his head falls to the earth; for he worked with Elohim this day. - and the people redeem Yah Nathan, that he not die.

³ And Yah Nathan and David cut a covenant because he loves him as his own soul:

² and Yah Nathan son of Shaul delights mightily in David: and Yah Nathan tells David, saying, Shaul my father seeks to deathify you: and now, I beseech you, guard yourself until the morning and settle covertly and hide:

¹⁷ and Yah Nathan has David add an oath, because he loves him: for he loves him as he loves his own soul.

²⁶ I distress for you, my brother Yah Nathan: mighty pleasing are you to me: marvellous your love to me surpassing the love of women.

¹⁷ And David goes out at their face and answers and says to them, If you come to me in shalom to help me, my heart becomes yours: but if to hurl me to my tribulators - seeing there is no violence in my palms, the Elohim of our fathers sees and reproves.

¹¹ Teach me your way, O Yah Veh; I walk in your truth: unify my heart to awe your name.

²⁴ A man with friends shows himself friendly; and there is a lover who adheres closer than a brother.

² that their hearts be consoled - coalesced in love and to all riches of the full bearance of comprehension, to the knowledge of the mystery of Elohim and of the Father and of the Messiah;

²¹ and David comes to Shaul and stands at his face; and he loves him mightily: and he becomes his instrument bearer. ²² And Shaul sends to Yishay, saying, O that David, I beseech you, stand at my face; for he finds charism in my eyes. ²³ And so be it, the spirit from Elohim is on Shaul, and David takes a harp and strums with his hand: so that Shaul respires and is good; and the evil spirit turns aside from him.

¹⁵ but David goes and returns from Shaul to tend the flock of his father at Beth Lechem.

⁸ And work mercy with your servant; for you brought your servant into a covenant of Yah Veh with you: and, if there be perversity in me, deathify me yourself. And why this - to bring me to your father? ⁹ And Yah Nathan says, Far be it from you: for in knowing, had I known that my father finishes off evil to come on you, had I not told you? ¹⁰ Then says David to Yah Nathan, Who tells me? Or what if your father answers you hardly? ¹¹ And Yah Nathan says to David, Come and let us go into the field. - and they both go into the field. ¹² And Yah Nathan says to David, O Elohim of Yisra El, when I probe my father about this time tomorrow - or the third; and behold, if there be good toward David and I send not to you to expose it in your ear; ¹³ may Yah Veh work and add thus to Yah Nathan: but if it well-pleases my father to vilify you, then I expose it in your ear and send you away to go in shalom: and Yah Veh be with you as he is with my father: ¹⁴ and not only, while I still live work me the mercy of Yah Veh that I not die: ¹⁵ neither cut off your mercy from my house eternally: nor when Yah Veh cuts off the enemies of David - every man from the face of the soil. ¹⁶ And Yah Nathan cuts with the house of David, and Yah Veh seeks it at the hand of the enemies of David: ¹⁷ and Yah Nathan has David add an oath, because he loves him: for he loves him as he loves his own soul.

⁴² And Yah Nathan says to David, Go in shalom; inasmuch as we oathed, both of us, in the name of Yah Veh, saying, Yah Veh be between me and between you and between my seed and between your seed eternally. - and he rises and goes: and Yah Nathan goes into the city.

¹⁸ And the two cut a covenant at the face of Yah Veh: and David settles in the forest and Yah Nathan goes to his house.

¹
THE MERCY OF DAVID
And David says, Remain there yet any of the house of Shaul to work mercy for sake of Yah Nathan? ² And there is a servant of the house of Shaul; his name is Siba: and they call him to David, and the sovereign says to him, Are you Siba? And he says, Your servant. ³ And the sovereign says, Is there finally a man of the house of Shaul to whom I work the mercy of Elohim? And Siba says to the sovereign, Yah Nathan has yet a son with smitten feet.

⁷ And the sovereign spares Mephi Bosheth the son of Yah Nathan the son of Shaul because of the oath of Yah Veh between them - between David and between Yah Nathan the son of Shaul.

⁴² - and Paroh turns aside his signet from his hand and gives it on the hand of Yoseph; and enrobes him in clothes of white linen and puts a gold chain about his neck;

⁸ bring the robe of the sovereigndom which the sovereign enrobes and the horse the sovereign rides and give the diadem of the sovereigndom upon his head; ⁹ and give this robe and horse to the hand of the man of the most noble governors of the sovereign - to enrobe the man whom the sovereign delights to esteem; and ride him horseback through the broadway of the city and call out at his face; thus work to the man whom the sovereign delights to esteem.

¹⁰ In rejoicing, I rejoice in Yah Veh; my soul twirls in my Elohim: for he enrobes me with the clothes of salvation, he clothes me with the mantle of justness - as a bridegroom decks - as a priest with ornaments - as a bride adorns with instruments.

²² But the father says to his servants, Bring the preeminent stole and endue him; and give a finger ring on his hand and shoes on his feet;

²¹ For him, who knew no sin, he made him sin in our behalf; so that we become the justness of Elohim in him.

⁷ but voided himself and took the form of a servant and became in the likeness of humanity: ⁸ and being found in configuration as a human, he humbled himself and became obedient to death - even the death of the stake.

² And Yah Veh is with Yoseph and he is a prosperous man; and he is in the house of his adoni the Misrayim. ³ And his adoni sees that Yah Veh is with him and that Yah Veh prospers all that he works in his hand:

²³ the governor of the tower house sees after naught under his hand; because Yah Veh is with him and whatever he works, Yah Veh prospers.

² Shaul chooses three thousand of Yisra El for himself: whereof two thousand are with Shaul in Michmash and in mount Beth El; and a thousand are with Yah Nathan in Gibah of Ben Yamin: and of the rest of the people he sends each man to his tent.

⁵² And there is tough war against the Peleshethiy all the days of Shaul: and when Shaul sees any mighty man or any son of valour, he gathers him to him.

¹⁴ And David comprehends in all his ways; and Yah Veh is with him: ¹⁵ and Shaul sees that he comprehends mightily, and he sojourns from his face:

³⁰ And the governors of the Peleshethiy come: and so be it, after they come, David comprehends more than all the servants of Shaul; so that his name is mightily esteemed.

³ and being as a tree transplanted by the rivulets of water, giving his fruit in his time: his leaf withers not; and whatever he works, prospers.

¹⁶ Behold, I apostolize you as sheep among wolves: so be thoughtful as serpents, and unadulterated as doves.

¹⁰ and releases him from all his tribulations, and gives him charism and wisdom in the sight of Paroh sovereign of Misrayim; and he seats him governor over Misrayim and all his house.

¹⁷ So be not thoughtless, but comprehend the will of Adonay.

⁵ Walk in wisdom toward those outside, marketing the season

THE SONG OF MIRYAM
And Miryam the prophetess, the sister of Aharon, takes a tambourine in her hand; and all the women follow her with tambourines and with round dances.

³⁴
THE DAUGHTER OF JUDGE YIPHTACH
And Yiphtach comes to his house in Mispeh; and behold, his daughter comes to meet him with tambourines and with round dances: and she is his only, child; beside her he has neither son nor daughter:

²⁵ The singers precede; the strummers after: the virgins tambourining among them.

¹¹ For Yah Veh redeems Yaaqov - redeems him from the hand stronger than his: ¹² and they come and shout in the height of Siyon; and flow together to the goodness of Yah Veh for crop and for juice and for oil and for the sons of the flock and of the herd: and their soul becomes as a saturated garden; and they add not to languish. ¹³ Then the virgin cheers in the round dancing - both youths and elders together for I turn their mourning into rejoicing, and sigh over them and cheer them from their grief:

²¹ And Miryam answers them, Sing to Yah Veh, for in triumphing, he triumphs; he hurls the horse and his rider into the sea.

¹¹ And the servants of Achish say to him, Is not this David the sovereign of the land? Answered they not one another in round dances thus, saying, Shaul smites his thousands and David his myriads?

⁵ Is not this David, of whom they answer one another in round dances saying, Shaul smites his thousands and David his myriads?

⁷ Lift your heads, O you portals; be lifted, you eternal portals; and the Sovereign of honor enters. ⁸ Who is this Sovereign of honor? Yah Veh strong and mighty! Yah Veh mighty in war!

¹
THE CONSUMING FIRE OF YAH VEH
And the people complain evilly in the ears of Yah Veh: and Yah Veh hears and kindles his wrath; and kindles the fire of Yah Veh among them and consumes the ends of the camp.

³⁴ And Bilam says to the angel of Yah Veh, I sinned! For I knew not that you stationed yourself in the way to confront me: and now, if it vilifies in your eyes, I turn back.

¹⁴ and now, your sovereigndom rises not: Yah Veh sought a man after his own heart and Yah Veh misvahs him eminence over his people, because you guarded not what Yah Veh misvahed you.

²⁸ And Shemu El says to him, Yah Veh rips the sovereigndom of Yisra El from you this day; and gives it to your friend - better than you:

¹³ Then Shemu El takes the horn of oil, and anoints him midst his brothers: and the Spirit of Yah Veh prospers on David from that day onward. - and Shemu El rises and goes to Ramah.

³¹ For all the days the son of Yishay lives on the soil, neither you establish nor your sovereigndom: and now, send and take him to me; for he is a son of death.

²² And sovereign Shelomoh answers and says to his mother, And why ask you Abi Shag the Shunemiyth for Adoni Yah? Ask you the sovereigndom for him also? For he is my greater brother; even for him and for Abi Athar the priest and for Yah Ab the son of Seruyah.

⁵ And Haman sees that Mordekay neither bows nor prostrates to him; and Haman fills with fury:

¹⁰ Arrogance gives strife; and with the counseled is wisdom.

⁴ Fury is cruel and wrath overflows; and who is able to stand at the face of envy?

⁴ And I see all the toil and all the prosperity of work; that for this man envies friend; this is also vanity and gnawing of spirit. ⁵ Or think you that the scripture words in vain, The spirit dwelling in us yearns to envy?

⁵ and to Qayin and to his offering he looks not: and Qayin inflames mightily and his face falls. ⁶ And Yah Veh says to Qayin, Why are you inflamed? and why is your face fallen?

² And Yaaqov sees the face of Laban and behold, it is not toward him as three yesters ago.

¹⁵ Am I not allowed to do what I will with my own? Is your eye evil because I am good?

²² thefts, avarices, evils, deceit, lasciviousness, maliciousness, blasphemy, pride, thoughtlessness:

²⁷ nor give place to Diabolos.

⁹ Sigh not against one another, brothers, lest you be condemned: behold, the judge stands at the portal.

¹⁴
AN EVIL SPIRIT FROM YAH VEH
The Spirit of Yah Veh turns aside from Shaul and an evil spirit from Yah Veh frightens him. ¹⁵ And Shaul's servants say to him, Behold now, an evil spirit from Elohim frightens you. ¹⁶ Have our adoni say to your servants at your face to seek out a man - a knowing strummer on a harp: and so be it, when the evil spirit from Elohim is on you, that he strum with his hand and it is good.

²³ And so be it, the spirit from Elohim is on Shaul, and David takes a harp and strums with his hand: so that Shaul respires and is good; and the evil spirit turns aside from him.

⁹ And the evil spirit from Yah Veh is on Shaul, as he settles in his house with his spear in his hand: and David strums with his hand:

²³ And he goes to Navith in Ramah: and the Spirit of Elohim is on him - him also and in walking, he walks on and prophesies until he comes to Navith in Ramah: ²⁴ and he strips his clothes - he also and prophesies at the face of Shemu El and falls naked all that day and all that night. So they say, Is Shaul also among the prophets?

¹⁹ Now I beseech you, that my adoni the sovereign hear the words of his servant: If Yah Veh goads you against me, have him scent an offering: and if sons of humanity, cursed are they at the face of Yah Veh; for they drive me out this day from being scraped into the inheritance of Yah Veh, saying, Go, serve other elohim.

²⁹ and so be it, noon passes, and they prophesy until the holocaust of the offering; and there is neither voice nor any answering, nor any hearkening.

¹² And all the prophets prophesy thus, saying, Ascend to Ramoth Gilad and prosper: for Yah Veh gives it in the hand of the sovereign.

²⁰ And Yah Veh says, Who entices Ach Ab to ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilad? And this one says thus; and that one says thus: ²¹ and a spirit goes and stands at the face of Yah Veh and says, I entice him. ²² And Yah Veh says to him, How? And he says, I go and I become a false spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he says, Entice him and also prevail: Go! Work thus! ²³ And now behold, Yah Veh gives a false spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets and Yah Veh words evil concerning you.

² Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El, saying, I broke the yoke of the sovereign of Babel. ³ Within two years of days I return to this place all the instruments of the house of Yah Veh, that Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel took from this place and carried to Babel: ⁴ and I restore to this place Yechon Yah the son of Yah Yaqim sovereign of Yah Hudah with all the exiles of Yah Hudah who went into Babel - an oracle of Yah Veh for I break the yoke of the sovereign of Babel.

¹¹ and in the eyes of all the people, Hanan Yah says, saying, Thus says Yah Veh: Even thus I break the yoke of Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel from the neck of all goyim within the space of two years of days. - and the prophet Yirme Yah goes his way.

² And so be it, in that day, - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth I cut off the names of the idols from the land, - no more remembered: and also I pass the prophets and the spirit of foulness from the land. ³ And so be it, any man who still prophesies, his father and his mother who birthed him say to him, You live not! - for you word falsehoods in the name of Yah Veh: and his father and his mother who birthed him thrust him through when he prophesies. ⁴ And so be it, in that day, each man of the prophets shames for his vision when he prophesies; they enrobe not a mighty mantle of hair to deceive. ⁵ And one says, I am no prophet, I am a man who serves the soil; a human chatteler from my youth.

¹⁶
PAULOS EVANGELIZES OUT A SPIRIT OF PYTHON
And so be it, as we go to prayer, a lass having a spirit of Python meets us, who presents her adonim much work by soothsaying:

¹¹ And for this cause Elohim sends them an energized seduction so that they trust a lie:

⁹ And the evil spirit from Yah Veh is on Shaul, as he settles in his house with his spear in his hand: and David strums with his hand: ¹⁰ and Shaul seeks to smite David to the wall with the spear: but he bursts forth from the face of Shaul and he smites the spear into the wall: and David flees and escapes that night.

³³ And Shaul casts a spear at him to smite him: whereby Yah Nathan knows that his father has fully finished to deathify David.

³² The wicked watches for the just and seeks to deathify him. ³³ Yah Veh neither forsakes him in his hand, nor judges him wicked when he is judged.

¹⁷ No instrument formed against you prospers; and every tongue rising against you in judgment, you declare wicked. This is the inheritance of the servants of Yah Veh and their justness is of me - an oracle of Yah Veh.

³⁰ and he passes through among them and goes his way:

⁵⁹ So they take stones to cast at him: but Yah Shua secretes himself, and goes from the priestal precinct, passing through their midst, and thus passes by.

³⁹ So again they seek to seize him; but he escapes from their hand

⁴ And Shemu El works what Yah Veh words and comes to Beth Lechem: and the elders of the city tremble to meet him and say, Come you in shalom?

¹³ Then Shemu El takes the horn of oil, and anoints him midst his brothers: and the Spirit of Yah Veh prospers on David from that day onward. - and Shemu El rises and goes to Ramah. ¹⁴
AN EVIL SPIRIT FROM YAH VEH
The Spirit of Yah Veh turns aside from Shaul and an evil spirit from Yah Veh frightens him.

¹⁸ And one of the lads answers and says, Behold, I saw a son of Yishay the Beth Lechemiy - a knowledgeable strummer and mighty valiant and a man of war - discerning in words and a man of form and Yah Veh is with him.

¹⁵ and Shaul sees that he comprehends mightily, and he sojourns from his face:

²⁰ And Michal the daughter of Shaul loves David: and they tell Shaul; and the word is straight in his eyes.

²⁹ and Shaul adds to awe to face David; and Shaul becomes an enemy of David all days.

¹³ And Shaul says to him, Why conspire you against me - you and the son of Yishay in that you gave him bread and a sword and asked of Elohim for him to rise against me, to lurk, as at this day?

¹⁵ And Shemu El says to Shaul, Why quiver you me to ascend me? And Shaul says, I am mightily distressed; for the Peleshethiy fight me and Elohim turns aside from me and answers me no more - neither by the hand of prophets nor by dreams: so I call you, to have me know what to work.

³ Elohim is in her citadels - known for a secure loft. ⁴ For behold, the sovereigns congregate; they pass by together: ⁵ they see; thus they marvel: they terrify; and haste away: ⁶ trembling holds them there - pangs, as of birthing.

¹¹ Neither cast me from your face; nor take your holy spirit from me:

⁵ In dreading, they dread where no dread is; for Elohim scatters the bones of him who encamps against you; you shame them; for Elohim spurns them.

¹² Though they nourish their sons, yet I bereave them - without a human: yes also, woe to them when I turn aside from them!

⁴¹ Then he also says to them at the left, Depart from me, you cursed, into eternal fire, prepared for Diabolos and his angels:

²⁰ for Herod awed Yahn, knowing he was a just and holy man; and guarded him; and he heard him and did much; and heard him with pleasure.

³⁷ And the whole multitude around the region of the Gadarenes ask him to depart from them; for they are held with mega awe: and he embarks in the sailer and returns.

⁹ And with zeal the patriarchs give Yoseph into Misrayim: and Elohim is with him

²⁵ and as he reasons concerning justness, self-control, and the judgment about to be, Phelix becomes awestricken, and answers, Go your way for now; when I partake a season, I call for you.

¹⁶ Yah Veh, Elohim of the spirits of all flesh, muster a man over the witness ¹⁷ to go out at their face and go in at their face and to lead them out and to bring them in; so that the witness of Yah Veh become not as flocks having no tender.

¹² and sets for himself governors over thousands and governors over fifties; and sets them to plough his ploughing and to harvest his harvest; and to work his instruments of war and instruments of his chariots:

¹⁶ and all Yisra El and Yah Hudah love David, because he goes and comes at their face. ¹⁷ And Shaul says to David, Behold my greater daughter Merab, I give you her to woman: only, become a son of valour for me and fight the wars of Yah Veh. And Shaul says, That my hand becomes not on him, but that the hand of the Peleshethiy becomes on him.

²⁵ And Shaul says, Say thus to David: The sovereign delights not in any dowry except a hundred foreskins of the Peleshethiy; to be avenged of the enemies of the sovereign. And Shaul fabricates that David fall by the hand of the Peleshethiy:

⁷ And Shaul says to his servants stationed around him, Hear now, you Ben Yaminiy; Gives the son of Yishay fields and vineyards to every one of you? Sets he you all governors of thousands and governors of hundreds

² Also three yesters ago, when Shaul was sovereign over us, it was you who brought out and brought in Yisra El: and Yah Veh said to you, Tend my people Yisra El! Be eminent over Yisra El!

⁸ Yah Veh guards your going and your coming from this time and even eternally.

²⁷ So Yah Veh is with Yah Shua; and his fame becomes throughout all the land.

⁷ And so be it, when these signs come to you, work as your hand finds; for Elohim is with you:

²³ Behold, a virgin has in womb and births a son; and they call his name Immanu El, which translates, Elohim with us. ^{Isaiah 7:14}

²⁰ doctrinating them to guard all - as much as ever I misvahed you: and behold, I am with you all days - even to the completion/shalom of the eon. Amen. ^{*name: Exodus 3:3-15, Isaiah 42:8, John 8:58}

¹⁰ because I AM with you: and no one puts on you to vilify you because I have much people in this city.

⁵ a good man grants charism and lends; he sustains his words with judgment:

⁴
DARYAVESH RAISES A BOND
Then the eunuchs and satraps seek to find a pretext against Dani El concerning the sovereigndom; but they can find no pretext or ruining because he is trustworthy; nor find any error or ruining in him. ⁵ Then these mighty say, We find not any pretext against this Dani El; except we find against him concerning the decree of his Elah.

⁵ If any of you lack wisdom, ask of Elohim who gives liberally to all and reproaches not - and he is given.

¹⁷ And indeed, the wisdom from above is first hallowed, then at shalom, gentle, agreeable, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and unhypocritical:

¹⁷ to go out at their face and go in at their face and to lead them out and to bring them in; so that the witness of Yah Veh become not as flocks having no tender.

⁵ And David goes wherever Shaul sends him and comprehends: and Shaul sets him over the men of war: and he is well-pleasing in the eyes of all the people and also in the eyes of the servants of Shaul.

⁷ and now, O Yah Veh my Elohim, you have your servant reign in the stead of David my father: and I am a little lad: I know not to go out or come in:

⁴⁸ and cannot find what to do: for all the people hear him with suspense.

¹⁹ And the same hour the archpriests and the scribes seek to lay hands on him; and they awe the people: for they know he says this parable against them.

¹⁴ Therefore it says in the scroll of the wars of Yah Veh, Vaheb in the Reed sea and in the wadies of Arnon,

²⁰ And Mosheh says to them, If you work this word, if you go equipped at the face of Yah Veh to war,

²⁷ but your servants pass over, every man equipped for hostility, at the face of Yah Veh to war, as my adoni worded.

²⁹ and Mosheh says to them, If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reu Ben pass over Yarden with you, every man equipped to war, at the face of Yah Veh, and the land subdues at your face; then give them the land of Gilad for a possession:

⁷ First the hands of the witnesses are on him to deathify him; and afterward the hands of all the people. Thus you burn the evil from your midst.

²⁵ and the men - the Yisra Eliy say, See you this man who ascends? He ascends to reproach Yisra El: and so be it, the man who smites him, the sovereign enriches him with great riches and gives him his daughter and works to liberate the house of his father in Yisra El.

⁴⁷ and all this congregation know that Yah Veh saves not with sword and spear: for the war is to Yah Veh and he gives you into our hands.

²¹ And Shaul says, I give her to him, for a snare to him; and that the hand of the Peleshethiy be against him. So Shaul says to David a second time, This day you become my son in law.

²⁸ I beseech you, lift the rebellion of your maid: for in working, Yah Veh works an amenable house for my adoni; because my adoni fights the wars of Yah Veh and no evil is found in you all your days:

¹⁵ and he inscribes in the scroll, saying, Give Uri Yah at the face of the strongest war and you turn back from after him that he be smitten and die.

⁹ Why despise you the word of Yah Veh to work evil in his eyes? You smote Uri Yah the Hethiy with the sword and took his woman to be your woman and slaughtered him with the sword by the sons of Ammon:

² Every man words vanity with his friend; with lips that smooth it over they word heart to heart.

²¹ his mouth is more tender than butter but in his heart, war; his words are softer than ointment, yet, openings.

¹¹ And Mosheh says to Elohim, Who am I, to go to Paroh and bring forth the sons of Yisra El from Misrayim?

¹⁰ And she falls on her face and prostrates herself to the earth and says to him, Why find I charism in your eyes, that you recognize me - and I, a stranger?

²¹ And Shaul answers and says, Am not I a Ben Yaminiy, of the smallest of the scions of Yisra El? and my family the lesser of all the families of the scion of Ben Yamin? Why then word you thus to me?

²³ And the servants of Shaul word those words in the ears of David. And David says, Seems it trifling in your eyes to become son in law to the sovereign - seeing that I am impoverished and abased?

¹⁸
A PRAYER OF DAVID
Then sovereign David goes in and settles at the face of Yah Veh and he says, Who am I, O Adonay Yah Veh? What is my house, that you bring me here?

³³ The awe of Yah Veh is the discipline of wisdom; and at the face of honor is humility.

¹² At the face of the breech the heart of man is lifted; at the face of honor is humility.

⁶ Then I say, Aha, Adonay Yah Veh! Behold, I know not how to word: for I am a lad.

²² and the three hundred blast the shophars and Yah Veh sets the sword of every man against his friend throughout all the camp: and the camp flees to Beth Has Shittah in Seredah to the lip of Abel Mecholah - to Tabbath.

²⁰ But the woman of Shimshon becomes to his companion whom he befriended.

⁸ And the sovereign takes the two sons of Rispah the daughter of Ajah whom she birthed to Shaul - Armoni and Mephi Bosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Shaul, whom she birthed to Adri El the son of Barzillay the Mecholathiy:

²⁸ And Shaul sees and knows Yah Veh is with David and that Michal the daughter of Shaul loves him:

⁷ And the servants of Paroh say to him, How long becomes this man a snare to us? Send the men away to serve Yah Veh their Elohim! Know you not yet that Misrayim is destroyed?

¹⁷ And Shaul says to David, Behold my greater daughter Merab, I give you her to woman: only, become a son of valour for me and fight the wars of Yah Veh. And Shaul says, That my hand becomes not on him, but that the hand of the Peleshethiy becomes on him.

²⁶ and his servants tell David these words; and the word is straight in the eyes of David - to be the son in law of the sovereign: but the days never fulfill.

¹¹ And Shaul sends angels to the house of David to guard him - to deathify him in the morning: and Michal the woman of David tells him, saying, If you rescue not your soul tonight, tomorrow they deathify you. ¹² So Michal descends David through a window: and he goes and flees and escapes:

¹⁴ Behold, he despoils with mischief and conceives toil and births falsehood: ¹⁵ he digs a well - digs and falls in the pit of ruin he made: ¹⁶ his toil returns on his own head and his violence descends on his own scalp.

¹² they who seek my soul, snare me; and they who seek my evil, word calamities and meditate deceits all the day long.

²⁴ He who hates is recognized by his lips and places deceit within him; ²⁵ when his voice grants charism, trust him not; for there are seven abhorrences in his heart; ²⁶ whose hatred is covered by deceit, exposes his evil in front of the congregation.

⁵ A mighty who smoothes over his friend spreads a net for his steps.

²⁶ for wicked are found among my people: they observe, as he who weaves snares; they station a ruin, they captivate men:

⁸ Their tongue is a slaughtering arrow; wording deceit: wording shalom to his friend with his mouth, but setting his inwards to lurk.

²⁸ And Abi Shalom misvahs his lads, saying, Now see, when the heart of Amnon is good with wine, and I say to you, Smite Amnon! Deathify him! Awe not! I - misvah I you not? Strengthen! Sons of valour! ²⁹ And the lads of Abi Shalom work to Amnon as Abi Shalom misvahs: and all the sons of the sovereign rise and every man rides on his mule and flees.

¹ To His Eminence; by David the servant of Yah Veh. The rebellion of the wicked oracles within my heart; the dread of Elohim is not in front of his eyes: ² for he smooths it over in his own eyes only to find out his perversity is hated. ³ The words of his mouth are mischief and deceit; he ceases comprehending, and to well-please:

¹² A sovereign who hearkens to false words - all his ministers are wicked.

¹⁴¹ I - insignificant and despised; yet I forget not your precepts:

²⁰ The impoverished is hated even by his own friend; and many are they who love the rich.

⁶ Many stroke the face of the volunteer; and all are a friend of a man of gifts. ⁷ All the brothers hate the impoverished; how much more, his companions far from him. he pursues them with sayings; yet they are not.

¹⁵ and within they found a poor wise man; and by his wisdom he rescued the city; yet no human remembered that same poor man. ¹⁶ Then I said, Better wisdom than might; the wisdom of the poor is despised and his words not heard.

THE LOVE OF THE FATHER
Perceive! What manner of love the Father gives us - to be called the children of Elohim: because of this, the cosmos knows us not, because it knew him not.

¹¹ and clip the flesh of your foreskin; and it becomes a sign of the covenant between me and between you: ¹² and circumcise the son of eight days among you - every male in your generations - birthed in the house, or a chattel of silver of a son of a stranger not of your seed; ¹³ he who births in your house and he who is a chattel of silver, in circumcising, certainly circumcise: that my covenant becomes in your flesh for an eternal covenant: ¹⁴ and the uncircumcised male whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul becomes cut off from his people; he broke my covenant.
SARAY RENAMED SARAH

¹⁸ and Yaaqov loves Rachel, and says, I serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.

¹² abound on me a mighty dowry and gift and I give according as you say to me: but give me the lass to woman.

¹⁶
GENERAL JUDGMENTS
And if a man dupes a virgin who is not betrothed and lies with her, in endowing, he endows her as his woman. ¹⁷ If in refusing, her father refuses to give her to him, he weighs silver according to the dowry of virgins.

³ And Yah Shua worked swords of rocks, and circumcised the sons of Yisra El at Gibeah Haaraloth/Hill of the Foreskins.

²⁴ and that day the men of Yisra El exact. And Shaul oaths the people, saying, Cursed is the man who eats bread until evening, and I become avenged on my enemies. - and none of the people taste bread.

²⁶ And David says to the men who stand by him, saying, What work you to the man who smites this Peleshethiy and turns aside the reproach from Yisra El? Who is this uncircumcised Peleshethiy, to reproach the ranks of the living Elohim?

³⁶ your servant smote both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Peleshethiy becomes as one of them, seeing he reproaches the ranks of the living Elohim.

⁸ For, says Hushay, you know your father and his men are mighty; and bitter of soul as a bereft bear in the field: and your father is a man of war and stays not overnight with the people. ⁹ Behold, even now he hides in one of the pits or in one of the places: and so be it, when some of them fall at the beginning, that in hearing, a hearer says, There is a plague among the people who go after Abi Shalom; ¹⁰ and he who also is the son of valour whose heart is as the heart of a lion, in melting, he melts: for all Yisra El knows that your father is mighty and they with him are sons of valour. ¹¹ So I counsel, that in gathering, all Yisra El gathers to you - from Dan even to Beer Sheba, as the sand by the sea for abundance; and that you go to war by yourself:

¹⁹ And the Spirit of Yah Veh prospers over him; and he descends to Ashqelon and smites thirty of their men; and takes their clothes and gives the changes to them who tell the riddle. And he kindles his wrath and he ascends to the house of his father.

¹³ and Shaul turns aside from him and sets him his governor over a thousand: and he goes and comes at the face of the people.

¹⁴ And David sends angels to Ish Bosheth the son of Shaul, saying, Give me my woman Michal whom I betrothed to me for a hundred foreskins of the Peleshethiy.

²⁷ And Laban says to him, I beseech you, if I have found charism in your eyes - for I prognosticate that Yah Veh blesses me for your sake.

⁸ And his brothers say to him, In reigning, reign you over us? - in reigning, reign over us? - and they hate him yet again for his dreams and for his words. ⁹ And he dreams yet another dream and describes it to his brothers and says, Behold, I dreamed a dream again; and behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars prostrate to me. ¹⁰ And he describes it to his father and to his brothers: and his father rebukes him and says to him, What is this dream you dreamed? In coming, come we - I and your mother and your brothers to prostrate to you to the earth? : ¹¹ And his brothers envy him; and his father guards the word:

³ And his adoni sees that Yah Veh is with him and that Yah Veh prospers all that he works in his hand:

²⁰ And now, behold, I know well, that in reigning, you reign and the sovereigndom of Yisra El rises in your hand.

²⁵ Then Shaul says to David, Blessed - you, my son David: in working, work; and in prevailing, prevail. - and David goes his way and Shaul returns to his place.

⁹ Behold, I give them of the synagogue of Satan, who word themselves to be Yah Hudiym and are not, but lie: behold, I have them come and worship in sight of your feet so that they know I loved you.

⁴ and Abel, he also brings of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof: and Yah Veh looks to Abel and to his offering; ⁵ and to Qayin and to his offering he looks not: and Qayin inflames mightily and his face falls. ⁶ And Yah Veh says to Qayin, Why are you inflamed? and why is your face fallen? ⁷ If you well-please, and if you well-please not, sin crouches at the portal: and his desire is toward you; and you reign over him.
FIRST SLAUGHTER
⁸ And Qayin talks with Abel his brother: and so be it, in the field, Qayin rises against Abel his brother and slaughters him.

¹² and Shaul awes at the face of David, because Yah Veh is with him and turns aside from Shaul:

¹² The wicked intrigues against the just and gnashes on him with his teeth. ¹³ Adonay laughs at him; for he sees his day coming. ¹⁴ The wicked draw the sword and bend their bow to fell the humble and needy and to slaughter the straight of way.

⁵³ So from that day they counsel together to slaughter him:

¹⁹ You - you trust that Elohim is one; you do well: the demons also trust and shudder.

¹² Not exactly as Qayin who was of that evil one, who slaughtered his brother. And for what cause slaughtered he him? Because his own works were evil and those of his brother, just. ¹³ Marvel not, my brothers, if the cosmos hates you. ¹⁴ We know that we departed from death to life, because we love the brothers. Whoever loves not his brother abides in death: ¹⁵ whoever hates his brother is a murderer - and you know that not any murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

³⁰ So - an oracle of Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El In saying, I say, that your house and the house of your father walk at my face eternally: and now - an oracle of Yah Veh far be it from me; for they who honor me, I honor; and they who despise me, I abase.

²¹ Then says Shaul, I sinned! Return, my son David, for I vilify you no more, because my soul is valued in your eyes this day: behold, I follied and inadvertently erred mighty aboundingly.

¹
DAVID AND BATH SHEBA
And so be it, at the turn of the year, at the time angels go forth, David sends Yah Ab and his servants with him and all Yisra El; and they ruin the sons of Ammon and besiege Rabbah: and David settles at Yeru Shalem.

¹³ And he returns and sends a governor of the third fifty with his fifty: and the third governor of fifty ascends and comes and bows on his knees in front of Eli Yah and beseeches him and words to him, O man of Elohim, I beseech you, that my soul and the soul of these fifty, your servants, be precious in your eyes:

¹⁵ Esteemed in the eyes of Yah Veh is the death of his mercied.

⁹⁹ I comprehend more than all my teachers; for your witnesses are my meditation:

²⁰ And in all words of wisdom and of discernment the sovereign beseeches of them he finds them ten hands better than all the horoscopists and enchanters in all his sovereigndom:

¹⁵ for I give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries can neither refute nor withstand:

¹⁵ So see that you walk precisely - not as unwise, but as wise,

⁴
AS LIVING STONES
coming to him, a living stone; disapproved indeed by humanity but with Elohim, select, honorable;

⁷ So to you who trust, he is precious: but to them who distrust, the stone the builders disapproved this one became the head of the corner,
