1
H1732
David
H5046
was told,
H6430
"Behold, the Philistines
H3898
are fighting
H7084
against Keilah,
H8154
and are robbing
H1637
the threshing floors."
2
H1732
Therefore David
H7592
inquired
H3068
of Yahweh,
H559
saying,
H3212
"Shall I go
H5221
and strike
H6430
these Philistines?"
H3068
Yahweh
H559
said
H1732
to David,
H3212
"Go
H5221
strike
H6430
the Philistines,
H3467
and save
H7084
Keilah."
3
H1732
David's
H582
men
H559
said
H3373
to him, "Behold, we are afraid
H3063
here in Judah:
H3212
how much more then if we go
H7084
to Keilah
H4634
against the armies
H6430
of the Philistines?"
4
H1732
Then David
H7592
inquired
H3068
of Yahweh
H3254
yet again.
H3068
Yahweh
H6030
answered
H6030
him, and said,
H6965
"Arise,
H3381
go down
H7084
to Keilah;
H5414
for I will deliver
H6430
the Philistines
H3027
into your hand."
5
H1732
David
H582
and his men
H3212
went
H7084
to Keilah,
H3898
and fought
H6430
with the Philistines,
H5090
and brought away
H4735
their livestock,
H5221
and killed
H1419
them with a great
H4347
slaughter.
H1732
So David
H3467
saved
H3427
the inhabitants
H7084
of Keilah.
6
H54
It happened, when Abiathar
H1121
the son
H288
of Ahimelech
H1272
fled
H1732
to David
H7084
to Keilah,
H3381
that he came down
H646
with an ephod
H3027
in his hand.
7
H5046
It was told
H7586
Saul
H1732
that David
H935
had come
H7084
to Keilah.
H7586
Saul
H559
said,
H430
"God
H5234
has delivered
H3027
him into my hand;
H5462
for he is shut in,
H935
by entering
H5892
into a town
H1817
that has gates
H1280
and bars."
8
H7586
Saul
H8085
summoned
H5971
all the people
H8085
to
H4421
war,
H3381
to go down
H7084
to Keilah,
H6696
to besiege
H1732
David
H582
and his men.
9
H1732
David
H3045
knew
H7586
that Saul
H2790
was devising
H7451
mischief
H559
against him; and he said
H54
to Abiathar
H3548
the priest,
H646
"Bring the ephod
H5066
here."
10
H1732
Then David
H559
said,
H3068
"O Yahweh,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel,
H5650
your servant
H8085
has surely
H8085
heard
H7586
that Saul
H1245
seeks
H935
to come
H7084
to Keilah,
H7843
to destroy
H5892
the city for my sake.
11
H1167
Will the men
H7084
of Keilah
H5462
deliver me up
H3027
into his hand?
H7586
Will Saul
H3381
come down,
H5650
as your servant
H8085
has heard?
H3068
Yahweh,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel,
H5046
I beg you, tell
H5650
your servant."
H3068
Yahweh
H559
said,
H3381
"He will come down."
12
H1732
Then David
H559
said,
H1167
"Will the men
H7084
of Keilah
H5462
deliver
H582
me and my men
H3027
into the hand
H7586
of Saul?"
H3068
Yahweh
H559
said,
H5462
"They will deliver you up."
13
H1732
Then David
H582
and his men,
H8337
who were about six
H3967
hundred,
H6965
arose
H3318
and departed
H7084
out of Keilah,
H1980
and went
H834
wherever
H1980
they could go.
H5046
It was told
H7586
Saul
H1732
that David
H4422
was escaped
H7084
from Keilah;
H2308
and he gave
H3318
up going there.
14
H1732
David
H3427
stayed
H4057
in the wilderness
H4679
in the strongholds,
H3427
and remained
H2022
in the hill
H4057
country in the wilderness
H2128
of Ziph.
H7586
Saul
H1245
sought
H3117
him every day,
H430
but God
H5414
didn't deliver
H3027
him into his hand.
15
H1732
David
H7200
saw
H7586
that Saul
H3318
had come out
H1245
to seek
H5315
his life.
H1732
David
H4057
was in the wilderness
H2128
of Ziph
H2793
in the wood.
16
H3083
Jonathan,
H7586
Saul's
H1121
son,
H6965
arose,
H3212
and went
H1732
to David
H2793
into the woods,
H2388
and strengthened
H3027
his hand
H430
in God.
17
H559
He said
H3372
to him, "Don't be afraid;
H3027
for the hand
H7586
of Saul
H1
my father
H4672
shall not find
H4427
you; and you shall be king
H3478
over Israel,
H4932
and I shall be next
H7586
to you; and that also Saul
H1
my father
H3045
knows."
18
H8147
They both
H3772
made
H1285
a covenant
H6440
before
H3068
Yahweh:
H1732
and David
H3427
stayed
H2793
in the woods,
H3083
and Jonathan
H1980
went
H1004
to his house.
19
H2130
Then the Ziphites
H5927
came up
H7586
to Saul
H1390
to Gibeah,
H559
saying,
H1732
"Doesn't David
H5641
hide
H4679
himself with us in the strongholds
H2793
in the wood,
H1389
in the hill
H2444
of Hachilah,
H3225
which is on the south
H3452
of the desert?
20
H4428
Now therefore, O king,
H3381
come down,
H185
according to all the desire
H5315
of your soul
H3381
to come down;
H5462
and our part shall be to deliver
H4428
him up into the king's
H3027
hand."
21
H7586
Saul
H559
said,
H1288
"You are blessed
H3068
by Yahweh;
H2550
for you have had compassion on me.
22
H3212
Please go
H3559
make
H3045
yet more sure, and know
H7200
and see
H4725
his place
H7272
where his haunt
H7200
is, and who has seen
H559
him there; for it is told
H6191
me that he deals very
H6191
subtly.
23
H7200
See
H3045
therefore, and take knowledge
H4224
of all the lurking places
H2244
where he hides
H7725
himself, and come again
H3559
to me with certainty,
H1980
and I will go
H3426
with you: and it shall happen, if he is
H776
in the land,
H2664
that I will search
H505
him out among all the thousands
H3063
of Judah."
24
H6965
They arose,
H3212
and went
H2128
to Ziph
H6440
before
H7586
Saul:
H1732
but David
H582
and his men
H4057
were in the wilderness
H4584
of Maon,
H6160
in the Arabah
H3225
on the south
H3452
of the desert.
25
H7586
Saul
H582
and his men
H3212
went
H1245
to seek
H1732
him. When David
H5046
was told,
H3381
he went down
H5553
to the rock,
H3427
and stayed
H4057
in the wilderness
H4584
of Maon.
H7586
When Saul
H8085
heard
H7291
that, he pursued
H310
H1732
David
H4057
in the wilderness
H4584
of Maon.
26
H7586
Saul
H3212
went
H6654
on this side
H2022
of the mountain,
H1732
and David
H582
and his men
H6654
on that side
H2022
of the mountain:
H1732
and David
H2648
made haste
H3212
to get away
H6440
for fear
H7586
of Saul;
H7586
for Saul
H582
and his men
H5849
surrounded
H1732
David
H582
and his men
H5849
to
H8610
take them.
27
H4397
But a messenger
H935
came
H7586
to Saul,
H559
saying,
H4116
"Hurry
H3212
and come;
H6430
for the Philistines
H6584
have made a raid
H776
on the land!"
