1
H5046 [H8686]
Then they told
H1732
David
H559 [H8800]
, saying
H6430
, Behold, the Philistines
H3898 [H8737]
fight
H7084
against Keilah
H8154 [H8802]
, and they rob
H1637
the threshingfloors.
2
H1732
Therefore David
H7592 [H8799]
enquired
H3068
of the LORD
H559 [H8800]
, saying
H3212 [H8799]
, Shall I go
H5221 [H8689]
and smite
H6430
these Philistines
H3068
? And the LORD
H559 [H8799]
said
H1732
to David
H3212 [H8798]
, Go
H5221 [H8689]
, and smite
H6430
the Philistines
H3467 [H8689]
, and save
H7084
Keilah.
3
H1732
And David's
H582
men
H559 [H8799]
said
H3373
to him, Behold, we are afraid
H3063
here in Judah
H3212 [H8799]
: how much more then if we come
H7084
to Keilah
H4634
against the armies
H6430
of the Philistines?
4
H1732
Then David
H7592 [H8800]
enquired
H3068
of the LORD
H3254 [H8686]
yet again
H3068
. And the LORD
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H559 [H8799]
him and said
H6965 [H8798]
, Arise
H3381 [H8798]
, go down
H7084
to Keilah
H5414 [H8802]
; for I will deliver
H6430
the Philistines
H3027
into thy hand.
5
H1732
So David
H582
and his men
H3212 [H8799]
went
H7084
to Keilah
H3898 [H8735]
, and fought
H6430
with the Philistines
H5090 [H8799]
, and brought away
H4735
their cattle
H5221 [H8686]
, and smote
H1419
them with a great
H4347
slaughter
H1732
. So David
H3467 [H8686]
saved
H3427 [H8802]
the inhabitants
H7084
of Keilah.
6
H54
And it came to pass, when Abiathar
H1121
the son
H288
of Ahimelech
H1272 [H8800]
fled
H1732
to David
H7084
to Keilah
H3381 [H8804]
, that he came down
H646
with an ephod
H3027
in his hand.
7
H5046 [H8714]
And it was told
H7586
to Saul
H1732
that David
H935 [H8804]
had come
H7084
to Keilah
H7586
. And Saul
H559 [H8799]
said
H430
, God
H5234 [H8765]
hath delivered
H3027
him into my hand
H5462 [H8738]
; for he is shut in
H935 [H8800]
, by entering
H5892
into a town
H1817
that hath gates
H1280
and bars.
8
H7586
And Saul
H8085 0
called
H5971
all the people
H8085 [H8762]
together
H4421
to war
H3381 [H8800]
, to go down
H7084
to Keilah
H6696 [H8800]
, to besiege
H1732
David
H582
and his men.
9
H1732
And David
H3045 [H8799]
knew
H7586
that Saul
H2790 [H8688]
secretly devised
H7451
mischief
H559 [H8799]
against him; and he said
H54
to Abiathar
H3548
the priest
H5066 [H8685]
, Bring here
H646
the ephod.
10
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H1732
David
H3068
, O LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H5650
, thy servant
H8085 [H8800]
hath certainly
H8085 [H8804]
heard
H7586
that Saul
H1245 [H8764]
seeketh
H935 [H8800]
to come
H7084
to Keilah
H7843 [H8763]
, to destroy
H5892
the city for my sake.
11
H1167
Will the men
H7084
of Keilah
H5462 [H8686]
deliver me up
H3027
into his hand
H7586
? will Saul
H3381 [H8799]
come down
H5650
, as thy servant
H8085 [H8804]
hath heard
H3068
? O LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H5046 [H8685]
, I beseech thee, tell
H5650
thy servant
H3068
. And the LORD
H559 [H8799]
said
H3381 [H8799]
, He will come down.
12
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H1732
David
H1167
, Will the men
H7084
of Keilah
H5462 [H8686]
deliver
H582
me and my men
H3027
into the hand
H7586
of Saul
H3068
? And the LORD
H559 [H8799]
said
H5462 [H8686]
, They will deliver thee up.
13
H1732
Then David
H582
and his men
H8337
, who were about six
H3967 H376
hundred
H6965 [H8799]
, arose
H3318 [H8799]
and departed
H7084
from Keilah
H1980 [H8691]
, and went
H834
wherever
H1980 [H8691]
they could go
H5046 [H8717]
. And it was told
H7586
Saul
H1732
that David
H4422 [H8738]
had escaped
H7084
from Keilah
H2308 [H8799]
; and he did not
H3318 [H8800]
go there.
14
H1732
And David
H3427 [H8799]
abode
H4057
in the wilderness
H4679
in strong holds
H3427 [H8799]
, and remained
H2022
in a mountain
H4057
in the wilderness
H2128
of Ziph
H7586
. And Saul
H1245 [H8762]
sought
H3117
him every day
H430
, but God
H5414 [H8804]
delivered
H3027
him not into his hand.
15
H1732
And David
H7200 [H8799]
saw
H7586
that Saul
H3318 [H8804]
had come out
H1245 [H8763]
to seek
H5315
his life
H1732
: and David
H4057
was in the wilderness
H2128
of Ziph
H2793
in a wood.
16
H3083
And Jonathan
H7586
Saul's
H1121
son
H6965 [H8799]
arose
H3212 [H8799]
, and went
H1732
to David
H2793
into the wood
H2388 [H8762]
, and strengthened
H3027
his hand
H430
in God.
17
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H3372 [H8799]
to him, Fear
H3027
not: for the hand
H7586
of Saul
H1
my father
H4672 [H8799]
shall not find
H4427 [H8799]
thee; and thou shalt be king
H3478
over Israel
H4932
, and I shall be next
H7586
to thee; and that also Saul
H1
my father
H3045 [H8802]
knoweth.
18
H8147
And they two
H3772 [H8799]
made
H1285
a covenant
H6440
before
H3068
the LORD
H1732
: and David
H3427 [H8799]
abode
H2793
in the wood
H3083
, and Jonathan
H1980 [H8804]
went
H1004
to his house.
19
H5927 [H8799]
Then came up
H2130
the Ziphites
H7586
to Saul
H1390
to Gibeah
H559 [H8800]
, saying
H1732
, Doth not David
H5641 [H8693]
hide
H4679
himself with us in strong holds
H2793
in the wood
H1389
, in the hill
H2444
of Hachilah
H3225
, which is on the south
H3452
of Jeshimon?
20
H4428
Now therefore, O king
H3381 [H8798]
, come down
H185
according to all the desire
H5315
of thy soul
H3381 [H8800]
to come down
H5462 [H8687]
; and our part shall be to deliver
H4428
him into the king's
H3027
hand.
21
H7586
And Saul
H559 [H8799]
said
H1288 [H8803]
, Blessed
H3068
be ye of the LORD
H2550 [H8804]
; for ye have compassion on me.
22
H3212 [H8798]
Go
H3559 [H8685]
, I pray you, prepare
H3045 [H8798]
yet, and know
H7200 [H8798]
and see
H4725
his place
H7272
where his haunt
H7200 [H8804]
is, and who hath seen
H559 [H8804]
him there: for it is told
H6191 [H8800]
to me that he dealeth very
H6191 [H8686]
subtilly.
23
H7200 [H8798]
See
H3045 [H8798]
therefore, and take knowledge
H4224
of all the lurking places
H2244 [H8691]
where he hideth
H7725 [H8804]
himself, and come ye again
H3559 [H8737]
to me with the certainty
H1980 [H8804]
, and I will go
H3426
with you: and it shall come to pass, if he is
H776
in the land
H2664 [H8765]
, that I will search
H505
him out throughout all the thousands
H3063
of Judah.
24
H6965 [H8799]
And they arose
H3212 [H8799]
, 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 plain
H3225
on the south
H3452
of Jeshimon.
25
H7586
Saul
H582
also and his men
H3212 [H8799]
went
H1245 [H8763]
to seek
H5046 [H8686]
him. And they told
H1732
David
H3381 [H8799]
: therefore he came down
H5553
into a rock
H3427 [H8799]
, and abode
H4057
in the wilderness
H4584
of Maon
H7586
. And when Saul
H8085 [H8799]
heard
H7291 [H8799]
that, he pursued
H310
after
H1732
David
H4057
in the wilderness
H4584
of Maon.
26
H7586
And Saul
H3212 [H8799]
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 [H8737]
made haste
H3212 [H8800]
to get away
H6440
for fear
H7586
of Saul
H7586
; for Saul
H582
and his men
H5849 0
surrounded
H1732
David
H582
and his men
H5849 [H8802]
on all sides
H8610 [H8800]
to take them.
27
H935 [H8804]
But there came
H4397
a messenger
H7586
to Saul
H559 [H8800]
, saying
H4116 [H8761]
, Haste
H3212 [H8798]
thee, and come
H6430
; for the Philistines
H6584 [H8804]
have invaded
H776
the land.
