| all his afflictions | |
| 1 Samuel 18:1 | As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. |
| 1 Samuel 18:2 | And Saul took him that day and would not let him return to his father's house. |
| 1 Samuel 18:3 | Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul. |
| 1 Samuel 18:4 | And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt. |
| 1 Samuel 18:5 | And David went out and was successful wherever Saul sent him, so that Saul set him over the men of war. And this was good in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants. |
| 1 Samuel 18:6 | As they were coming home, when David returned from striking down the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with songs of joy, and with musical instruments. |
| 1 Samuel 18:7 | And the women sang to one another as they celebrated, "Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his ten thousands." |
| 1 Samuel 18:8 | And Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands, and what more can he have but the kingdom?" |
| 1 Samuel 18:9 | And Saul eyed David from that day on. |
| 1 Samuel 18:10 | The next day a harmful spirit from God rushed upon Saul, and he raved within his house while David was playing the lyre, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand. |
| 1 Samuel 18:11 | And Saul hurled the spear, for he thought, "I will pin David to the wall." But David evaded him twice. |
| 1 Samuel 18:12 | Saul was afraid of David because the LORD was with him but had departed from Saul. |
| 1 Samuel 18:13 | So Saul removed him from his presence and made him a commander of a thousand. And he went out and came in before the people. |
| 1 Samuel 18:14 | And David had success in all his undertakings, for the LORD was with him. |
| 1 Samuel 18:15 | And when Saul saw that he had great success, he stood in fearful awe of him. |
| 1 Samuel 18:16 | But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he went out and came in before them. |
| 1 Samuel 18:17 | Then Saul said to David, "Here is my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you for a wife. Only be valiant for me and fight the LORD's battles." For Saul thought, "Let not my hand be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him." |
| 1 Samuel 18:18 | And David said to Saul, "Who am I, and who are my relatives, my father's clan in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?" |
| 1 Samuel 18:19 | But at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife. |
| 1 Samuel 18:20 | Now Saul's daughter Michal loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. |
| 1 Samuel 18:21 | Saul thought, "Let me give her to him, that she may be a snare for him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David a second time, "You shall now be my son-in-law." |
| 1 Samuel 18:22 | And Saul commanded his servants, "Speak to David in private and say, 'Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now then become the king's son-in-law.'" |
| 1 Samuel 18:23 | And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, "Does it seem to you a little thing to become the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man and have no reputation?" |
| 1 Samuel 18:24 | And the servants of Saul told him, "Thus and so did David speak." |
| 1 Samuel 18:25 | Then Saul said, "Thus shall you say to David, 'The king desires no bride-price except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, that he may be avenged of the king's enemies.'" Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. |
| 1 Samuel 18:26 | And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. Before the time had expired, |
| 1 Samuel 18:27 | David arose and went, along with his men, and killed two hundred of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins, which were given in full number to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for a wife. |
| 1 Samuel 18:28 | But when Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him, |
| 1 Samuel 18:29 | Saul was even more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually. |
| 1 Samuel 18:30 | Then the princes of the Philistines came out to battle, and as often as they came out David had more success than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly esteemed. |
| 1 Samuel 19:1 | And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David. |
| 1 Samuel 19:2 | And Jonathan told David, "Saul my father seeks to kill you. Therefore be on your guard in the morning. Stay in a secret place and hide yourself. |
| 1 Samuel 19:3 | And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak to my father about you. And if I learn anything I will tell you." |
| 1 Samuel 19:4 | And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, "Let not the king sin against his servant David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have brought good to you. |
| 1 Samuel 19:5 | For he took his life in his hand and he struck down the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood by killing David without cause?" |
| 1 Samuel 19:6 | And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan. Saul swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death." |
| 1 Samuel 19:7 | And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan reported to him all these things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before. |
| 1 Samuel 19:8 | And there was war again. And David went out and fought with the Philistines and struck them with a great blow, so that they fled before him. |
| 1 Samuel 19:9 | Then a harmful spirit from the LORD came upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand. And David was playing the lyre. |
| 1 Samuel 19:10 | And Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he eluded Saul, so that he struck the spear into the wall. And David fled and escaped that night. |
| 1 Samuel 19:11 | Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him, that he might kill him in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, told him, "If you do not escape with your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed." |
| 1 Samuel 19:12 | So Michal let David down through the window, and he fled away and escaped. |
| 1 Samuel 19:13 | Michal took an image and laid it on the bed and put a pillow of goats' hair at its head and covered it with the clothes. |
| 1 Samuel 19:14 | And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, "He is sick." |
| 1 Samuel 19:15 | Then Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him." |
| 1 Samuel 19:16 | And when the messengers came in, behold, the image was in the bed, with the pillow of goats' hair at its head. |
| 1 Samuel 19:17 | Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me thus and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?" And Michal answered Saul, "He said to me, 'Let me go. Why should I kill you?'" |
| 1 Samuel 19:18 | Now David fled and escaped, and he came to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and lived at Naioth. |
| 1 Samuel 19:19 | And it was told Saul, "Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah." |
| 1 Samuel 19:20 | Then Saul sent messengers to take David, and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied. |
| 1 Samuel 19:21 | When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied. |
| 1 Samuel 19:22 | Then he himself went to Ramah and came to the great well that is in Secu. And he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah." |
| 1 Samuel 19:23 | And he went there to Naioth in Ramah. And the Spirit of God came upon him also, and as he went he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah. |
| 1 Samuel 19:24 | And he too stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel and lay naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?" |
| 1 Samuel 20:1 | Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah and came and said before Jonathan, "What have I done? What is my guilt? And what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?" |
| 1 Samuel 20:2 | And he said to him, "Far from it! You shall not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small without disclosing it to me. And why should my father hide this from me? It is not so." |
| 1 Samuel 20:3 | But David vowed again, saying, "Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he thinks, 'Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.' But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death." |
| 1 Samuel 20:4 | Then Jonathan said to David, "Whatever you say, I will do for you." |
| 1 Samuel 20:5 | David said to Jonathan, "Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit at table with the king. But let me go, that I may hide myself in the field till the third day at evening. |
| 1 Samuel 20:6 | If your father misses me at all, then say, 'David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethlehem his city, for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the clan.' |
| 1 Samuel 20:7 | If he says, 'Good!' it will be well with your servant, but if he is angry, then know that harm is determined by him. |
| 1 Samuel 20:8 | Therefore deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you. But if there is guilt in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?" |
| 1 Samuel 20:9 | And Jonathan said, "Far be it from you! If I knew that it was determined by my father that harm should come to you, would I not tell you?" |
| 1 Samuel 20:10 | Then David said to Jonathan, "Who will tell me if your father answers you roughly?" |
| 1 Samuel 20:11 | And Jonathan said to David, "Come, let us go out into the field." So they both went out into the field. |
| 1 Samuel 20:12 | And Jonathan said to David, "The LORD, the God of Israel, be witness! When I have sounded out my father, about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if he is well disposed toward David, shall I not then send and disclose it to you? |
| 1 Samuel 20:13 | But should it please my father to do you harm, the LORD do so to Jonathan and more also if I do not disclose it to you and send you away, that you may go in safety. May the LORD be with you, as he has been with my father. |
| 1 Samuel 20:14 | If I am still alive, show me the steadfast love of the LORD, that I may not die; |
| 1 Samuel 20:15 | and do not cut off your steadfast love from my house forever, when the LORD cuts off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth." |
| 1 Samuel 20:16 | And Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, "May the LORD take vengeance on David's enemies." |
| 1 Samuel 20:17 | And Jonathan made David swear again by his love for him, for he loved him as he loved his own soul. |
| 1 Samuel 20:18 | Then Jonathan said to him, "Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty. |
| 1 Samuel 20:19 | On the third day go down quickly to the place where you hid yourself when the matter was in hand, and remain beside the stone heap. |
| 1 Samuel 20:20 | And I will shoot three arrows to the side of it, as though I shot at a mark. |
| 1 Samuel 20:21 | And behold, I will send the young man, saying, 'Go, find the arrows.' If I say to the young man, 'Look, the arrows are on this side of you, take them,' then you are to come, for, as the LORD lives, it is safe for you and there is no danger. |
| 1 Samuel 20:22 | But if I say to the youth, 'Look, the arrows are beyond you,' then go, for the LORD has sent you away. |
| 1 Samuel 20:23 | And as for the matter of which you and I have spoken, behold, the LORD is between you and me forever." |
| 1 Samuel 20:24 | So David hid himself in the field. And when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food. |
| 1 Samuel 20:25 | The king sat on his seat, as at other times, on the seat by the wall. Jonathan sat opposite, and Abner sat by Saul's side, but David's place was empty. |
| 1 Samuel 20:26 | Yet Saul did not say anything that day, for he thought, "Something has happened to him. He is not clean; surely he is not clean." |
| 1 Samuel 20:27 | But on the second day, the day after the new moon, David's place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why has not the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?" |
| 1 Samuel 20:28 | Jonathan answered Saul, "David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem. |
| 1 Samuel 20:29 | He said, 'Let me go, for our clan holds a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to be there. So now, if I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away and see my brothers.' For this reason he has not come to the king's table." |
| 1 Samuel 20:30 | Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman, do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness? |
| 1 Samuel 20:31 | For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, neither you nor your kingdom shall be established. Therefore send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die." |
| 1 Samuel 20:32 | Then Jonathan answered Saul his father, "Why should he be put to death? What has he done?" |
| 1 Samuel 20:33 | But Saul hurled his spear at him to strike him. So Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death. |
| 1 Samuel 20:34 | And Jonathan rose from the table in fierce anger and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had disgraced him. |
| 1 Samuel 20:35 | In the morning Jonathan went out into the field to the appointment with David, and with him a little boy. |
| 1 Samuel 20:36 | And he said to his boy, "Run and find the arrows that I shoot." As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him. |
| 1 Samuel 20:37 | And when the boy came to the place of the arrow that Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the boy and said, "Is not the arrow beyond you?" |
| 1 Samuel 20:38 | And Jonathan called after the boy, "Hurry! Be quick! Do not stay!" So Jonathan's boy gathered up the arrows and came to his master. |
| 1 Samuel 20:39 | But the boy knew nothing. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter. |
| 1 Samuel 20:40 | And Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy and said to him, "Go and carry them to the city." |
| 1 Samuel 20:41 | And as soon as the boy had gone, David rose from beside the stone heap and fell on his face to the ground and bowed three times. And they kissed one another and wept with one another, David weeping the most. |
| 1 Samuel 20:42 | Then Jonathan said to David, "Go in peace, because we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, 'The LORD shall be between me and you, and between my offspring and your offspring, forever.'" And he rose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city. |
| 1 Samuel 21:1 | Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech came to meet David trembling and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no one with you?" |
| 1 Samuel 21:2 | And David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has charged me with a matter and said to me, 'Let no one know anything of the matter about which I send you, and with which I have charged you.' I have made an appointment with the young men for such and such a place. |
| 1 Samuel 21:3 | Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever is here." |
| 1 Samuel 21:4 | And the priest answered David, "I have no common bread on hand, but there is holy bread--if the young men have kept themselves from women." |
| 1 Samuel 21:5 | And David answered the priest, "Truly women have been kept from us as always when I go on an expedition. The vessels of the young men are holy even when it is an ordinary journey. How much more today will their vessels be holy?" |
| 1 Samuel 21:6 | So the priest gave him the holy bread, for there was no bread there but the bread of the Presence, which is removed from before the LORD, to be replaced by hot bread on the day it is taken away. |
| 1 Samuel 21:7 | Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD. His name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief of Saul's herdsmen. |
| 1 Samuel 21:8 | Then David said to Ahimelech, "Then have you not here a spear or a sword at hand? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste." |
| 1 Samuel 21:9 | And the priest said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck down in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it, for there is none but that here." And David said, "There is none like that; give it to me." |
| 1 Samuel 21:10 | And David rose and fled that day from Saul and went to Achish the king of Gath. |
| 1 Samuel 21:11 | And the servants of Achish said to him, "Is not this David the king of the land? Did they not sing to one another of him in dances, 'Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his ten thousands'?" |
| 1 Samuel 21:12 | And David took these words to heart and was much afraid of Achish the king of Gath. |
| 1 Samuel 21:13 | So he changed his behavior before them and pretended to be insane in their hands and made marks on the doors of the gate and let his spittle run down his beard. |
| 1 Samuel 21:14 | Then Achish said to his servants, "Behold, you see the man is mad. Why then have you brought him to me? |
| 1 Samuel 21:15 | Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to behave as a madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?" |
| 1 Samuel 22:1 | David departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. And when his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there to him. |
| 1 Samuel 22:2 | And everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was bitter in soul, gathered to him. And he became captain over them. And there were with him about four hundred men. |
| 1 Samuel 22:3 | And David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab. And he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and my mother stay with you, till I know what God will do for me." |
| 1 Samuel 22:4 | And he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with him all the time that David was in the stronghold. |
| 1 Samuel 22:5 | Then the prophet Gad said to David, "Do not remain in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah." So David departed and went into the forest of Hereth. |
| 1 Samuel 22:6 | Now Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men who were with him. Saul was sitting at Gibeah under the tamarisk tree on the height with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him. |
| 1 Samuel 22:7 | And Saul said to his servants who stood about him, "Hear now, people of Benjamin; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, |
| 1 Samuel 22:8 | that all of you have conspired against me? No one discloses to me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is sorry for me or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day." |
| 1 Samuel 22:9 | Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, "I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, |
| 1 Samuel 22:10 | and he inquired of the LORD for him and gave him provisions and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine." |
| 1 Samuel 22:11 | Then the king sent to summon Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests who were at Nob, and all of them came to the king. |
| 1 Samuel 22:12 | And Saul said, "Hear now, son of Ahitub." And he answered, "Here I am, my lord." |
| 1 Samuel 22:13 | And Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread and a sword and have inquired of God for him, so that he has risen against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?" |
| 1 Samuel 22:14 | Then Ahimelech answered the king, "And who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and captain over your bodyguard, and honored in your house? |
| 1 Samuel 22:15 | Is today the first time that I have inquired of God for him? No! Let not the king impute anything to his servant or to all the house of my father, for your servant has known nothing of all this, much or little." |
| 1 Samuel 22:16 | And the king said, "You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father's house." |
| 1 Samuel 22:17 | And the king said to the guard who stood about him, "Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because their hand also is with David, and they knew that he fled and did not disclose it to me." But the servants of the king would not put out their hand to strike the priests of the LORD. |
| 1 Samuel 22:18 | Then the king said to Doeg, "You turn and strike the priests." And Doeg the Edomite turned and struck down the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five persons who wore the linen ephod. |
| 1 Samuel 22:19 | And Nob, the city of the priests, he put to the sword; both man and woman, child and infant, ox, donkey and sheep, he put to the sword. |
| 1 Samuel 22:20 | But one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David. |
| 1 Samuel 22:21 | And Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the LORD. |
| 1 Samuel 22:22 | And David said to Abiathar, "I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have occasioned the death of all the persons of your father's house. |
| 1 Samuel 22:23 | Stay with me; do not be afraid, for he who seeks my life seeks your life. With me you shall be in safekeeping." |
| 1 Samuel 23:1 | Now they told David, "Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and are robbing the threshing floors." |
| 1 Samuel 23:2 | Therefore David inquired of the LORD, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" And the LORD said to David, "Go and attack the Philistines and save Keilah." |
| 1 Samuel 23:3 | But David's men said to him, "Behold, we are afraid here in Judah; how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?" |
| 1 Samuel 23:4 | Then David inquired of the LORD again. And the LORD answered him, "Arise, go down to Keilah, for I will give the Philistines into your hand." |
| 1 Samuel 23:5 | And David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines and brought away their livestock and struck them with a great blow. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah. |
| 1 Samuel 23:6 | When Abiathar the son of Ahimelech had fled to David to Keilah, he had come down with an ephod in his hand. |
| 1 Samuel 23:7 | Now it was told Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, "God has given him into my hand, for he has shut himself in by entering a town that has gates and bars." |
| 1 Samuel 23:8 | And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men. |
| 1 Samuel 23:9 | David knew that Saul was plotting harm against him. And he said to Abiathar the priest, "Bring the ephod here." |
| 1 Samuel 23:10 | Then said David, "O LORD, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to destroy the city on my account. |
| 1 Samuel 23:11 | Will the men of Keilah surrender me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? O LORD, the God of Israel, please tell your servant." And the LORD said, "He will come down." |
| 1 Samuel 23:12 | Then David said, "Will the men of Keilah surrender me and my men into the hand of Saul?" And the LORD said, "They will surrender you." |
| 1 Samuel 23:13 | Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed from Keilah, and they went wherever they could go. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah, he gave up the expedition. |
| 1 Samuel 23:14 | And David remained in the strongholds in the wilderness, in the hill country of the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not give him into his hand. |
| 1 Samuel 23:15 | David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the wilderness of Ziph at Horesh. |
| 1 Samuel 23:16 | And Jonathan, Saul's son, rose and went to David at Horesh, and strengthened his hand in God. |
| 1 Samuel 23:17 | And he said to him, "Do not fear, for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you. You shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you. Saul my father also knows this." |
| 1 Samuel 23:18 | And the two of them made a covenant before the LORD. David remained at Horesh, and Jonathan went home. |
| 1 Samuel 23:19 | Then the Ziphites went up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Is not David hiding among us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah, which is south of Jeshimon? |
| 1 Samuel 23:20 | Now come down, O king, according to all your heart's desire to come down, and our part shall be to surrender him into the king's hand." |
| 1 Samuel 23:21 | And Saul said, "May you be blessed by the LORD, for you have had compassion on me. |
| 1 Samuel 23:22 | Go, make yet more sure. Know and see the place where his foot is, and who has seen him there, for it is told me that he is very cunning. |
| 1 Samuel 23:23 | See therefore and take note of all the lurking places where he hides, and come back to me with sure information. Then I will go with you. And if he is in the land, I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah." |
| 1 Samuel 23:24 | And they arose and went to Ziph ahead of Saul.Now David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah to the south of Jeshimon. |
| 1 Samuel 23:25 | And Saul and his men went to seek him. And David was told, so he went down to the rock and lived in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon. |
| 1 Samuel 23:26 | Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain. And David was hurrying to get away from Saul. As Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men to capture them, |
| 1 Samuel 23:27 | a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Hurry and come, for the Philistines have made a raid against the land." |
| 1 Samuel 23:28 | So Saul returned from pursuing after David and went against the Philistines. Therefore that place was called the Rock of Escape. |
| 1 Samuel 23:29 | And David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of Engedi. |
| 1 Samuel 24:1 | When Saul returned from following the Philistines, he was told, "Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi." |
| 1 Samuel 24:2 | Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel and went to seek David and his men in front of the Wildgoats' Rocks. |
| 1 Samuel 24:3 | And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where there was a cave, and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were sitting in the innermost parts of the cave. |
| 1 Samuel 24:4 | And the men of David said to him, "Here is the day of which the LORD said to you, 'Behold, I will give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.'" Then David arose and stealthily cut off a corner of Saul's robe. |
| 1 Samuel 24:5 | And afterward David's heart struck him, because he had cut off a corner of Saul's robe. |
| 1 Samuel 24:6 | He said to his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the LORD's anointed, to put out my hand against him, seeing he is the LORD's anointed." |
| 1 Samuel 24:7 | So David persuaded his men with these words and did not permit them to attack Saul. And Saul rose up and left the cave and went on his way. |
| 1 Samuel 24:8 | Afterward David also arose and went out of the cave, and called after Saul, "My lord the king!" And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth and paid homage. |
| 1 Samuel 24:9 | And David said to Saul, "Why do you listen to the words of men who say, 'Behold, David seeks your harm'? |
| 1 Samuel 24:10 | Behold, this day your eyes have seen how the LORD gave you today into my hand in the cave. And some told me to kill you, but I spared you. I said, 'I will not put out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD's anointed.' |
| 1 Samuel 24:11 | See, my father, see the corner of your robe in my hand. For by the fact that I cut off the corner of your robe and did not kill you, you may know and see that there is no wrong or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt my life to take it. |
| 1 Samuel 24:12 | May the LORD judge between me and you, may the LORD avenge me against you, but my hand shall not be against you. |
| 1 Samuel 24:13 | As the proverb of the ancients says, 'Out of the wicked comes wickedness.' But my hand shall not be against you. |
| 1 Samuel 24:14 | After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom do you pursue? After a dead dog! After a flea! |
| 1 Samuel 24:15 | May the LORD therefore be judge and give sentence between me and you, and see to it and plead my cause and deliver me from your hand." |
| 1 Samuel 24:16 | As soon as David had finished speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" And Saul lifted up his voice and wept. |
| 1 Samuel 24:17 | He said to David, "You are more righteous than I, for you have repaid me good, whereas I have repaid you evil. |
| 1 Samuel 24:18 | And you have declared this day how you have dealt well with me, in that you did not kill me when the LORD put me into your hands. |
| 1 Samuel 24:19 | For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away safe? So may the LORD reward you with good for what you have done to me this day. |
| 1 Samuel 24:20 | And now, behold, I know that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand. |
| 1 Samuel 24:21 | Swear to me therefore by the LORD that you will not cut off my offspring after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father's house." |
| 1 Samuel 24:22 | And David swore this to Saul. Then Saul went home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold. |
| 1 Samuel 25:1 | Now Samuel died. And all Israel assembled and mourned for him, and they buried him in his house at Ramah. |
| 1 Samuel 25:2 | Then David rose and went down to the wilderness of Paran. And there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel. The man was very rich; he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. He was shearing his sheep in Carmel. |
| 1 Samuel 25:3 | Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. The woman was discerning and beautiful, but the man was harsh and badly behaved; he was a Calebite. |
| 1 Samuel 25:4 | David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep. |
| 1 Samuel 25:5 | So David sent ten young men. And David said to the young men, "Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal and greet him in my name. |
| 1 Samuel 25:6 | And thus you shall greet him: 'Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have. |
| 1 Samuel 25:7 | I hear that you have shearers. Now your shepherds have been with us, and we did them no harm, and they missed nothing all the time they were in Carmel. |
| 1 Samuel 25:8 | Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a feast day. Please give whatever you have at hand to your servants and to your son David.'" |
| 1 Samuel 25:9 | When David's young men came, they said all this to Nabal in the name of David, and then they waited. |
| 1 Samuel 25:10 | And Nabal answered David's servants, "Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants these days who are breaking away from their masters. |
| 1 Samuel 25:11 | Shall I take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers and give it to men who come from I do not know where?" |
| 1 Samuel 25:12 | So David's young men turned away and came back and told him all this. |
| 1 Samuel 25:13 | And David said to his men, "Every man strap on his sword!" And every man of them strapped on his sword. David also strapped on his sword. And about four hundred men went up after David, while two hundred remained with the baggage. |
| 1 Samuel 25:14 | But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, "Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master, and he railed at them. |
| 1 Samuel 25:15 | Yet the men were very good to us, and we suffered no harm, and we did not miss anything when we were in the fields, as long as we went with them. |
| 1 Samuel 25:16 | They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep. |
| 1 Samuel 25:17 | Now therefore know this and consider what you should do, for harm is determined against our master and against all his house, and he is such a worthless man that one cannot speak to him." |
| 1 Samuel 25:18 | Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves and two skins of wine and five sheep already prepared and five seahs of parched grain and a hundred clusters of raisins and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys. |
| 1 Samuel 25:19 | And she said to her young men, "Go on before me; behold, I come after you." But she did not tell her husband Nabal. |
| 1 Samuel 25:20 | And as she rode on the donkey and came down under cover of the mountain, behold, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them. |
| 1 Samuel 25:21 | Now David had said, "Surely in vain have I guarded all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him, and he has returned me evil for good. |
| 1 Samuel 25:22 | God do so to the enemies of David and more also, if by morning I leave so much as one male of all who belong to him." |
| 1 Samuel 25:23 | When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got down from the donkey and fell before David on her face and bowed to the ground. |
| 1 Samuel 25:24 | She fell at his feet and said, "On me alone, my lord, be the guilt. Please let your servant speak in your ears, and hear the words of your servant. |
| 1 Samuel 25:25 | Let not my lord regard this worthless fellow, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him. But I your servant did not see the young men of my lord, whom you sent. |
| 1 Samuel 25:26 | Now then, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, because the LORD has restrained you from bloodguilt and from saving with your own hand, now then let your enemies and those who seek to do evil to my lord be as Nabal. |
| 1 Samuel 25:27 | And now let this present that your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow my lord. |
| 1 Samuel 25:28 | Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the LORD, and evil shall not be found in you so long as you live. |
| 1 Samuel 25:29 | If men rise up to pursue you and to seek your life, the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living in the care of the LORD your God. And the lives of your enemies he shall sling out as from the hollow of a sling. |
| 1 Samuel 25:30 | And when the LORD has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you and has appointed you prince over Israel, |
| 1 Samuel 25:31 | my lord shall have no cause of grief or pangs of conscience for having shed blood without cause or for my lord taking vengeance himself. And when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, then remember your servant." |
| 1 Samuel 25:32 | And David said to Abigail, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me! |
| 1 Samuel 25:33 | Blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodguilt and from avenging myself with my own hand! |
| 1 Samuel 25:34 | For as surely as the LORD the God of Israel lives, who has restrained me from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, truly by morning there had not been left to Nabal so much as one male." |
| 1 Samuel 25:35 | Then David received from her hand what she had brought him. And he said to her, "Go up in peace to your house. See, I have obeyed your voice, and I have granted your petition." |
| 1 Samuel 25:36 | And Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. So she told him nothing at all until the morning light. |
| 1 Samuel 25:37 | In the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone. |
| 1 Samuel 25:38 | And about ten days later the LORD struck Nabal, and he died. |
| 1 Samuel 25:39 | When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed be the LORD who has avenged the insult I received at the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from wrongdoing. The LORD has returned the evil of Nabal on his own head." Then David sent and spoke to Abigail, to take her as his wife. |
| 1 Samuel 25:40 | When the servants of David came to Abigail at Carmel, they said to her, "David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife." |
| 1 Samuel 25:41 | And she rose and bowed with her face to the ground and said, "Behold, your handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord." |
| 1 Samuel 25:42 | And Abigail hurried and rose and mounted a donkey, and her five young women attended her. She followed the messengers of David and became his wife. |
| 1 Samuel 25:43 | David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel, and both of them became his wives. |
| 1 Samuel 25:44 | Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim. |
| 1 Samuel 26:1 | Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Is not David hiding himself on the hill of Hachilah, which is on the east of Jeshimon?" |
| 1 Samuel 26:2 | So Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph with three thousand chosen men of Israel to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph. |
| 1 Samuel 26:3 | And Saul encamped on the hill of Hachilah, which is beside the road on the east of Jeshimon. But David remained in the wilderness. When he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness, |
| 1 Samuel 26:4 | David sent out spies and learned that Saul had come. |
| 1 Samuel 26:5 | Then David rose and came to the place where Saul had encamped. And David saw the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army. Saul was lying within the encampment, while the army was encamped around him. |
| 1 Samuel 26:6 | Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Joab's brother Abishai the son of Zeruiah, "Who will go down with me into the camp to Saul?" And Abishai said, "I will go down with you." |
| 1 Samuel 26:7 | So David and Abishai went to the army by night. And there lay Saul sleeping within the encampment, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head, and Abner and the army lay around him. |
| 1 Samuel 26:8 | Then said Abishai to David, "God has given your enemy into your hand this day. Now please let me pin him to the earth with one stroke of the spear, and I will not strike him twice." |
| 1 Samuel 26:9 | But David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him, for who can put out his hand against the LORD's anointed and be guiltless?" |
| 1 Samuel 26:10 | And David said, "As the LORD lives, the LORD will strike him, or his day will come to die, or he will go down into battle and perish. |
| 1 Samuel 26:11 | The LORD forbid that I should put out my hand against the LORD's anointed. But take now the spear that is at his head and the jar of water, and let us go." |
| 1 Samuel 26:12 | So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul's head, and they went away. No man saw it or knew it, nor did any awake, for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen upon them. |
| 1 Samuel 26:13 | Then David went over to the other side and stood far off on the top of the hill, with a great space between them. |
| 1 Samuel 26:14 | And David called to the army, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, "Will you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner answered, "Who are you who calls to the king?" |
| 1 Samuel 26:15 | And David said to Abner, "Are you not a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord. |
| 1 Samuel 26:16 | This thing that you have done is not good. As the LORD lives, you deserve to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is and the jar of water that was at his head." |
| 1 Samuel 26:17 | Saul recognized David's voice and said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" And David said, "It is my voice, my lord, O king." |
| 1 Samuel 26:18 | And he said, "Why does my lord pursue after his servant? For what have I done? What evil is on my hands? |
| 1 Samuel 26:19 | Now therefore let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is the LORD who has stirred you up against me, may he accept an offering, but if it is men, may they be cursed before the LORD, for they have driven me out this day that I should have no share in the heritage of the LORD, saying, 'Go, serve other gods.' |
| 1 Samuel 26:20 | Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD, for the king of Israel has come out to seek a single flea like one who hunts a partridge in the mountains." |
| 1 Samuel 26:21 | Then Saul said, "I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Behold, I have acted foolishly, and have made a great mistake." |
| 1 Samuel 26:22 | And David answered and said, "Here is the spear, O king! Let one of the young men come over and take it. |
| 1 Samuel 26:23 | The LORD rewards every man for his righteousness and his faithfulness, for the LORD gave you into my hand today, and I would not put out my hand against the LORD's anointed. |
| 1 Samuel 26:24 | Behold, as your life was precious this day in my sight, so may my life be precious in the sight of the LORD, and may he deliver me out of all tribulation." |
| 1 Samuel 26:25 | Then Saul said to David, "Blessed be you, my son David! You will do many things and will succeed in them." So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place. |
| 1 Samuel 27:1 | Then David said in his heart, "Now I shall perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will despair of seeking me any longer within the borders of Israel, and I shall escape out of his hand." |
| 1 Samuel 27:2 | So David arose and went over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath. |
| 1 Samuel 27:3 | And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of Carmel, Nabal's widow. |
| 1 Samuel 27:4 | And when it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, he no longer sought him. |
| 1 Samuel 27:5 | Then David said to Achish, "If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be given me in one of the country towns, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?" |
| 1 Samuel 27:6 | So that day Achish gave him Ziklag. Therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day. |
| 1 Samuel 27:7 | And the number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months. |
| 1 Samuel 27:8 | Now David and his men went up and made raids against the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites, for these were the inhabitants of the land from of old, as far as Shur, to the land of Egypt. |
| 1 Samuel 27:9 | And David would strike the land and would leave neither man nor woman alive, but would take away the sheep, the oxen, the donkeys, the camels, and the garments, and come back to Achish. |
| 1 Samuel 27:10 | When Achish asked, "Where have you made a raid today?" David would say, "Against the Negeb of Judah," or, "Against the Negeb of the Jerahmeelites," or, "Against the Negeb of the Kenites." |
| 1 Samuel 27:11 | And David would leave neither man nor woman alive to bring news to Gath, thinking, "lest they should tell about us and say, 'So David has done.'" Such was his custom all the while he lived in the country of the Philistines. |
| 1 Samuel 27:12 | And Achish trusted David, thinking, "He has made himself an utter stench to his people Israel; therefore he shall always be my servant." |
| 1 Samuel 28:1 | In those days the Philistines gathered their forces for war, to fight against Israel. And Achish said to David, "Understand that you and your men are to go out with me in the army." |
| 1 Samuel 28:2 | David said to Achish, "Very well, you shall know what your servant can do." And Achish said to David, "Very well, I will make you my bodyguard for life." |
| 1 Samuel 28:3 | Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had put the mediums and the necromancers out of the land. |
| 1 Samuel 28:4 | The Philistines assembled and came and encamped at Shunem. And Saul gathered all Israel, and they encamped at Gilboa. |
| 1 Samuel 28:5 | When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly. |
| 1 Samuel 28:6 | And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets. |
| 1 Samuel 28:7 | Then Saul said to his servants, "Seek out for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her." And his servants said to him, "Behold, there is a medium at En-dor." |
| 1 Samuel 28:8 | So Saul disguised himself and put on other garments and went, he and two men with him. And they came to the woman by night. And he said, “Divine for me by a spirit and bring up for me whomever I shall name to you.” |
| 1 Samuel 28:9 | The woman said to him, "Surely you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the necromancers from the land. Why then are you laying a trap for my life to bring about my death?" |
| 1 Samuel 28:10 | But Saul swore to her by the LORD, "As the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing." |
| 1 Samuel 28:11 | Then the woman said, "Whom shall I bring up for you?" He said, "Bring up Samuel for me." |
| 1 Samuel 28:12 | When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. And the woman said to Saul, "Why have you deceived me? You are Saul." |
| 1 Samuel 28:13 | The king said to her, "Do not be afraid. What do you see?" And the woman said to Saul, "I see a god coming up out of the earth." |
| 1 Samuel 28:14 | He said to her, "What is his appearance?" And she said, "An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped in a robe." And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and paid homage. |
| 1 Samuel 28:15 | Then Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" Saul answered, "I am in great distress, for the Philistines are warring against me, and God has turned away from me and answers me no more, either by prophets or by dreams. Therefore I have summoned you to tell me what I shall do." |
| 1 Samuel 28:16 | And Samuel said, "Why then do you ask me, since the LORD has turned from you and become your enemy? |
| 1 Samuel 28:17 | The LORD has done to you as he spoke by me, for the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David. |
| 1 Samuel 28:18 | Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD and did not carry out his fierce wrath against Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you this day. |
| 1 Samuel 28:19 | Moreover, the LORD will give Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons shall be with me. The LORD will give the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines." |
| 1 Samuel 28:20 | Then Saul fell at once full length on the ground, filled with fear because of the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him, for he had eaten nothing all day and all night. |
| 1 Samuel 28:21 | And the woman came to Saul, and when she saw that he was terrified, she said to him, "Behold, your servant has obeyed you. I have taken my life in my hand and have listened to what you have said to me. |
| 1 Samuel 28:22 | Now therefore, you also obey your servant. Let me set a morsel of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way." |
| 1 Samuel 28:23 | He refused and said, "I will not eat." But his servants, together with the woman, urged him, and he listened to their words. So he arose from the earth and sat on the bed. |
| 1 Samuel 28:24 | Now the woman had a fattened calf in the house, and she quickly killed it, and she took flour and kneaded it and baked unleavened bread of it, |
| 1 Samuel 28:25 | and she put it before Saul and his servants, and they ate. Then they rose and went away that night. |
| 1 Samuel 29:1 | Now the Philistines had gathered all their forces at Aphek. And the Israelites were encamped by the spring that is in Jezreel. |
| 1 Samuel 29:2 | As the lords of the Philistines were passing on by hundreds and by thousands, and David and his men were passing on in the rear with Achish, |
| 1 Samuel 29:3 | the commanders of the Philistines said, "What are these Hebrews doing here?" And Achish said to the commanders of the Philistines, "Is this not David, the servant of Saul, king of Israel, who has been with me now for days and years, and since he deserted to me I have found no fault in him to this day." |
| 1 Samuel 29:4 | But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with him. And the commanders of the Philistines said to him, "Send the man back, that he may return to the place to which you have assigned him. He shall not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us. For how could this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Would it not be with the heads of the men here? |
| 1 Samuel 29:5 | Is not this David, of whom they sing to one another in dances, 'Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his ten thousands'?" |
| 1 Samuel 29:6 | Then Achish called David and said to him, "As the LORD lives, you have been honest, and to me it seems right that you should march out and in with me in the campaign. For I have found nothing wrong in you from the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, the lords do not approve of you. |
| 1 Samuel 29:7 | So go back now; and go peaceably, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines." |
| 1 Samuel 29:8 | And David said to Achish, "But what have I done? What have you found in your servant from the day I entered your service until now, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?" |
| 1 Samuel 29:9 | And Achish answered David and said, "I know that you are as blameless in my sight as an angel of God. Nevertheless, the commanders of the Philistines have said, 'He shall not go up with us to the battle.' |
| 1 Samuel 29:10 | Now then rise early in the morning with the servants of your lord who came with you, and start early in the morning, and depart as soon as you have light." |
| 1 Samuel 29:11 | So David set out with his men early in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. But the Philistines went up to Jezreel. |
| 1 Samuel 30:1 | Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid against the Negeb and against Ziklag. They had overcome Ziklag and burned it with fire |
| 1 Samuel 30:2 | and taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They killed no one, but carried them off and went their way. |
| 1 Samuel 30:3 | And when David and his men came to the city, they found it burned with fire, and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive. |
| 1 Samuel 30:4 | Then David and the people who were with him raised their voices and wept until they had no more strength to weep. |
| 1 Samuel 30:5 | David's two wives also had been taken captive, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel. |
| 1 Samuel 30:6 | And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. |
| 1 Samuel 30:7 | And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, "Bring me the ephod." So Abiathar brought the ephod to David. |
| 1 Samuel 30:8 | And David inquired of the LORD, "Shall I pursue after this band? Shall I overtake them?" He answered him, "Pursue, for you shall surely overtake and shall surely rescue." |
| 1 Samuel 30:9 | So David set out, and the six hundred men who were with him, and they came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed. |
| 1 Samuel 30:10 | But David pursued, he and four hundred men. Two hundred stayed behind, who were too exhausted to cross the brook Besor. |
| 1 Samuel 30:11 | They found an Egyptian in the open country and brought him to David. And they gave him bread and he ate. They gave him water to drink, |
| 1 Samuel 30:12 | and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. And when he had eaten, his spirit revived, for he had not eaten bread or drunk water for three days and three nights. |
| 1 Samuel 30:13 | And David said to him, "To whom do you belong? And where are you from?" He said, "I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite, and my master left me behind because I fell sick three days ago. |
| 1 Samuel 30:14 | We had made a raid against the Negeb of the Cherethites and against that which belongs to Judah and against the Negeb of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire." |
| 1 Samuel 30:15 | And David said to him, "Will you take me down to this band?" And he said, "Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will take you down to this band." |
| 1 Samuel 30:16 | And when he had taken him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the land, eating and drinking and dancing, because of all the great spoil they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah. |
| 1 Samuel 30:17 | And David struck them down from twilight until the evening of the next day, and not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who mounted camels and fled. |
| 1 Samuel 30:18 | David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives. |
| 1 Samuel 30:19 | Nothing was missing, whether small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything that had been taken. David brought back all. |
| 1 Samuel 30:20 | David also captured all the flocks and herds, and the people drove the livestock before him, and said, "This is David's spoil." |
| 1 Samuel 30:21 | Then David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow David, and who had been left at the brook Besor. And they went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people he greeted them. |
| 1 Samuel 30:22 | Then all the wicked and worthless fellows among the men who had gone with David said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them any of the spoil that we have recovered, except that each man may lead away his wife and children, and depart." |
| 1 Samuel 30:23 | But David said, "You shall not do so, my brothers, with what the LORD has given us. He has preserved us and given into our hand the band that came against us. |
| 1 Samuel 30:24 | Who would listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down into the battle, so shall his share be who stays by the baggage. They shall share alike." |
| 1 Samuel 30:25 | And he made it a statute and a rule for Israel from that day forward to this day. |
| 1 Samuel 30:26 | When David came to Ziklag, he sent part of the spoil to his friends, the elders of Judah, saying, "Here is a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of the LORD." |
| 1 Samuel 30:27 | It was for those in Bethel, in Ramoth of the Negeb, in Jattir, |
| 1 Samuel 30:28 | in Aroer, in Siphmoth, in Eshtemoa, |
| 1 Samuel 30:29 | in Racal, in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, in the cities of the Kenites, |
| 1 Samuel 30:30 | in Hormah, in Bor-ashan, in Athach, |
| 1 Samuel 30:31 | in Hebron, for all the places where David and his men had roamed. |
| 2 Samuel 15:1 | After this Absalom got himself a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him. |
| 2 Samuel 15:2 | And Absalom used to rise early and stand beside the way of the gate. And when any man had a dispute to come before the king for judgment, Absalom would call to him and say, "From what city are you?" And when he said, "Your servant is of such and such a tribe in Israel," |
| 2 Samuel 15:3 | Absalom would say to him, "See, your claims are good and right, but there is no man designated by the king to hear you." |
| 2 Samuel 15:4 | Then Absalom would say, "Oh that I were judge in the land! Then every man with a dispute or cause might come to me, and I would give him justice." |
| 2 Samuel 15:5 | And whenever a man came near to pay homage to him, he would put out his hand and take hold of him and kiss him. |
| 2 Samuel 15:6 | Thus Absalom did to all of Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel. |
| 2 Samuel 15:7 | And at the end of four years Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron. |
| 2 Samuel 15:8 | For your servant vowed a vow while I lived at Geshur in Aram, saying, 'If the LORD will indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will offer worship to the LORD.'" |
| 2 Samuel 15:9 | The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he arose and went to Hebron. |
| 2 Samuel 15:10 | But Absalom sent secret messengers throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then say, 'Absalom is king at Hebron!'" |
| 2 Samuel 15:11 | With Absalom went two hundred men from Jerusalem who were invited guests, and they went in their innocence and knew nothing. |
| 2 Samuel 15:12 | And while Absalom was offering the sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city Giloh. And the conspiracy grew strong, and the people with Absalom kept increasing. |
| 2 Samuel 15:13 | And a messenger came to David, saying, "The hearts of the men of Israel have gone after Absalom." |
| 2 Samuel 15:14 | Then David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee, or else there will be no escape for us from Absalom. Go quickly, lest he overtake us quickly and bring down ruin on us and strike the city with the edge of the sword." |
| 2 Samuel 15:15 | And the king's servants said to the king, "Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king decides." |
| 2 Samuel 15:16 | So the king went out, and all his household after him. And the king left ten concubines to keep the house. |
| 2 Samuel 15:17 | And the king went out, and all the people after him. And they halted at the last house. |
| 2 Samuel 15:18 | And all his servants passed by him, and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the six hundred Gittites who had followed him from Gath, passed on before the king. |
| 2 Samuel 15:19 | Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, "Why do you also go with us? Go back and stay with the king, for you are a foreigner and also an exile from your home. |
| 2 Samuel 15:20 | You came only yesterday, and shall I today make you wander about with us, since I go I know not where? Go back and take your brothers with you, and may the LORD show steadfast love and faithfulness to you." |
| 2 Samuel 15:21 | But Ittai answered the king, "As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, there also will your servant be." |
| 2 Samuel 15:22 | And David said to Ittai, "Go then, pass on." So Ittai the Gittite passed on with all his men and all the little ones who were with him. |
| 2 Samuel 15:23 | And all the land wept aloud as all the people passed by, and the king crossed the brook Kidron, and all the people passed on toward the wilderness. |
| 2 Samuel 15:24 | And Abiathar came up, and behold, Zadok came also with all the Levites, bearing the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God until the people had all passed out of the city. |
| 2 Samuel 15:25 | Then the king said to Zadok, "Carry the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me back and let me see both it and his dwelling place. |
| 2 Samuel 15:26 | But if he says, 'I have no pleasure in you,' behold, here I am, let him do to me what seems good to him." |
| 2 Samuel 15:27 | The king also said to Zadok the priest, "Are you not a seer? Go back to the city in peace, with your two sons, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar. |
| 2 Samuel 15:28 | See, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me." |
| 2 Samuel 15:29 | So Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark of God back to Jerusalem, and they remained there. |
| 2 Samuel 15:30 | But David went up the ascent of the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went, barefoot and with his head covered. And all the people who were with him covered their heads, and they went up, weeping as they went. |
| 2 Samuel 15:31 | And it was told David, "Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." And David said, "O LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness." |
| 2 Samuel 15:32 | While David was coming to the summit, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn and dirt on his head. |
| 2 Samuel 15:33 | David said to him, "If you go on with me, you will be a burden to me. |
| 2 Samuel 15:34 | But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, 'I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father's servant in time past, so now I will be your servant,' then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel. |
| 2 Samuel 15:35 | Are not Zadok and Abiathar the priests with you there? So whatever you hear from the king's house, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests. |
| 2 Samuel 15:36 | Behold, their two sons are with them there, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son, and by them you shall send to me everything you hear." |
| 2 Samuel 15:37 | So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city, just as Absalom was entering Jerusalem. |
| 2 Samuel 16:1 | When David had passed a little beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of donkeys saddled, bearing two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred of summer fruits, and a skin of wine. |
| 2 Samuel 16:2 | And the king said to Ziba, "Why have you brought these?" Ziba answered, "The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine for those who faint in the wilderness to drink." |
| 2 Samuel 16:3 | And the king said, "And where is your master's son?" Ziba said to the king, "Behold, he remains in Jerusalem, for he said, 'Today the house of Israel will give me back the kingdom of my father.'" |
| 2 Samuel 16:4 | Then the king said to Ziba, "Behold, all that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours." And Ziba said, "I pay homage; let me ever find favor in your sight, my lord the king." |
| 2 Samuel 16:5 | When King David came to Bahurim, there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera, and as he came he cursed continually. |
| 2 Samuel 16:6 | And he threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David, and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. |
| 2 Samuel 16:7 | And Shimei said as he cursed, "Get out, get out, you man of blood, you worthless man! |
| 2 Samuel 16:8 | The LORD has avenged on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the LORD has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. See, your evil is on you, for you are a man of blood." |
| 2 Samuel 16:9 | Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and take off his head." |
| 2 Samuel 16:10 | But the king said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? If he is cursing because the LORD has said to him, 'Curse David,' who then shall say, 'Why have you done so?'" |
| 2 Samuel 16:11 | And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "Behold, my own son seeks my life; how much more now may this Benjaminite! Leave him alone, and let him curse, for the LORD has told him to. |
| 2 Samuel 16:12 | It may be that the LORD will look on the wrong done to me, and that the LORD will repay me with good for his cursing today." |
| 2 Samuel 16:13 | So David and his men went on the road, while Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went and threw stones at him and flung dust. |
| 2 Samuel 16:14 | And the king, and all the people who were with him, arrived weary at the Jordan. And there he refreshed himself. |
| 2 Samuel 16:15 | Now Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him. |
| 2 Samuel 16:16 | And when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, "Long live the king! Long live the king!" |
| 2 Samuel 16:17 | And Absalom said to Hushai, "Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?" |
| 2 Samuel 16:18 | And Hushai said to Absalom, "No, for whom the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will remain. |
| 2 Samuel 16:19 | And again, whom should I serve? Should it not be his son? As I have served your father, so I will serve you." |
| 2 Samuel 16:20 | Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give your counsel. What shall we do?" |
| 2 Samuel 16:21 | Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Go in to your father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house, and all Israel will hear that you have made yourself a stench to your father, and the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened." |
| 2 Samuel 16:22 | So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof. And Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel. |
| 2 Samuel 16:23 | Now in those days the counsel that Ahithophel gave was as if one consulted the word of God; so was all the counsel of Ahithophel esteemed, both by David and by Absalom. |
| 2 Samuel 17:1 | Moreover, Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight. |
| 2 Samuel 17:2 | I will come upon him while he is weary and discouraged and throw him into a panic, and all the people who are with him will flee. I will strike down only the king, |
| 2 Samuel 17:3 | and I will bring all the people back to you as a bride comes home to her husband. You seek the life of only one man, and all the people will be at peace." |
| 2 Samuel 17:4 | And the advice seemed right in the eyes of Absalom and all the elders of Israel. |
| 2 Samuel 17:5 | Then Absalom said, "Call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he has to say." |
| 2 Samuel 17:6 | And when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom said to him, "Thus has Ahithophel spoken; shall we do as he says? If not, you speak." |
| 2 Samuel 17:7 | Then Hushai said to Absalom, "This time the counsel that Ahithophel has given is not good." |
| 2 Samuel 17:8 | Hushai said, "You know that your father and his men are mighty men, and that they are enraged, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. Besides, your father is expert in war; he will not spend the night with the people. |
| 2 Samuel 17:9 | Behold, even now he has hidden himself in one of the pits or in some other place. And as soon as some of the people fall at the first attack, whoever hears it will say, 'There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.' |
| 2 Samuel 17:10 | Then even the valiant man, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will utterly melt with fear, for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and that those who are with him are valiant men. |
| 2 Samuel 17:11 | But my counsel is that all Israel be gathered to you, from Dan to Beersheba, as the sand by the sea for multitude, and that you go to battle in person. |
| 2 Samuel 17:12 | So we shall come upon him in some place where he is to be found, and we shall light upon him as the dew falls on the ground, and of him and all the men with him not one will be left. |
| 2 Samuel 17:13 | If he withdraws into a city, then all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we shall drag it into the valley, until not even a pebble is to be found there." |
| 2 Samuel 17:14 | And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, "The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel." For the LORD had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, so that the LORD might bring harm upon Absalom. |
| 2 Samuel 17:15 | Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, "Thus and so did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and so have I counseled. |
| 2 Samuel 17:16 | Now therefore send quickly and tell David, 'Do not stay tonight at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over, lest the king and all the people who are with him be swallowed up.'" |
| 2 Samuel 17:17 | Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were waiting at En-rogel. A female servant was to go and tell them, and they were to go and tell King David, for they were not to be seen entering the city. |
| 2 Samuel 17:18 | But a young man saw them and told Absalom. So both of them went away quickly and came to the house of a man at Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard. And they went down into it. |
| 2 Samuel 17:19 | And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth and scattered grain on it, and nothing was known of it. |
| 2 Samuel 17:20 | When Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house, they said, "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?" And the woman said to them, "They have gone over the brook of water." And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem. |
| 2 Samuel 17:21 | After they had gone, the men came up out of the well, and went and told King David. They said to David, "Arise, and go quickly over the water, for thus and so has Ahithophel counseled against you." |
| 2 Samuel 17:22 | Then David arose, and all the people who were with him, and they crossed the Jordan. By daybreak not one was left who had not crossed the Jordan. |
| 2 Samuel 17:23 | When Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey and went off home to his own city. He set his house in order and hanged himself, and he died and was buried in the tomb of his father. |
| 2 Samuel 17:24 | Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed the Jordan with all the men of Israel. |
| 2 Samuel 17:25 | Now Absalom had set Amasa over the army instead of Joab. Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra the Ishmaelite, who had married Abigal the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother. |
| 2 Samuel 17:26 | And Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead. |
| 2 Samuel 17:27 | When David came to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites, and Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim, |
| 2 Samuel 17:28 | brought beds, basins, and earthen vessels, wheat, barley, flour, parched grain, beans and lentils, |
| 2 Samuel 17:29 | honey and curds and sheep and cheese from the herd, for David and the people with him to eat, for they said, "The people are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness." |
| 2 Samuel 18:1 | Then David mustered the men who were with him and set over them commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds. |
| 2 Samuel 18:2 | And David sent out the army, one third under the command of Joab, one third under the command of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and one third under the command of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the men, "I myself will also go out with you." |
| 2 Samuel 18:3 | But the men said, "You shall not go out. For if we flee, they will not care about us. If half of us die, they will not care about us. But you are worth ten thousand of us. Therefore it is better that you send us help from the city." |
| 2 Samuel 18:4 | The king said to them, "Whatever seems best to you I will do." So the king stood at the side of the gate, while all the army marched out by hundreds and by thousands. |
| 2 Samuel 18:5 | And the king ordered Joab and Abishai and Ittai, "Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom." And all the people heard when the king gave orders to all the commanders about Absalom. |
| 2 Samuel 18:6 | So the army went out into the field against Israel, and the battle was fought in the forest of Ephraim. |
| 2 Samuel 18:7 | And the men of Israel were defeated there by the servants of David, and the loss there was great on that day, twenty thousand men. |
| 2 Samuel 18:8 | The battle spread over the face of all the country, and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword. |
| 2 Samuel 18:9 | And Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak, and his head caught fast in the oak, and he was suspended between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him went on. |
| 2 Samuel 18:10 | And a certain man saw it and told Joab, "Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak." |
| 2 Samuel 18:11 | Joab said to the man who told him, "What, you saw him! Why then did you not strike him there to the ground? I would have been glad to give you ten pieces of silver and a belt." |
| 2 Samuel 18:12 | But the man said to Joab, "Even if I felt in my hand the weight of a thousand pieces of silver, I would not reach out my hand against the king's son, for in our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, 'For my sake protect the young man Absalom.' |
| 2 Samuel 18:13 | On the other hand, if I had dealt treacherously against his life (and there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have stood aloof." |
| 2 Samuel 18:14 | Joab said, "I will not waste time like this with you." And he took three javelins in his hand and thrust them into the heart of Absalom while he was still alive in the oak. |
| 2 Samuel 18:15 | And ten young men, Joab's armor-bearers, surrounded Absalom and struck him and killed him. |
| 2 Samuel 18:16 | Then Joab blew the trumpet, and the troops came back from pursuing Israel, for Joab restrained them. |
| 2 Samuel 18:17 | And they took Absalom and threw him into a great pit in the forest and raised over him a very great heap of stones. And all Israel fled every one to his own home. |
| 2 Samuel 18:18 | Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself the pillar that is in the King's Valley, for he said, "I have no son to keep my name in remembrance." He called the pillar after his own name, and it is called Absalom's monument to this day. |
| 2 Samuel 18:19 | Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, "Let me run and carry news to the king that the LORD has delivered him from the hand of his enemies." |
| 2 Samuel 18:20 | And Joab said to him, "You are not to carry news today. You may carry news another day, but today you shall carry no news, because the king's son is dead." |
| 2 Samuel 18:21 | Then Joab said to the Cushite, "Go, tell the king what you have seen." The Cushite bowed before Joab, and ran. |
| 2 Samuel 18:22 | Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said again to Joab, "Come what may, let me also run after the Cushite." And Joab said, "Why will you run, my son, seeing that you will have no reward for the news?" |
| 2 Samuel 18:23 | "Come what may," he said, "I will run." So he said to him, "Run." Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and outran the Cushite. |
| 2 Samuel 18:24 | Now David was sitting between the two gates, and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate by the wall, and when he lifted up his eyes and looked, he saw a man running alone. |
| 2 Samuel 18:25 | The watchman called out and told the king. And the king said, "If he is alone, there is news in his mouth." And he drew nearer and nearer. |
| 2 Samuel 18:26 | The watchman saw another man running. And the watchman called to the gate and said, "See, another man running alone!" The king said, "He also brings news." |
| 2 Samuel 18:27 | The watchman said, "I think the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok." And the king said, "He is a good man and comes with good news." |
| 2 Samuel 18:28 | Then Ahimaaz cried out to the king, "All is well." And he bowed before the king with his face to the earth and said, "Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who raised their hand against my lord the king." |
| 2 Samuel 18:29 | And the king said, "Is it well with the young man Absalom?" Ahimaaz answered, "When Joab sent the king's servant, your servant, I saw a great commotion, but I do not know what it was." |
| 2 Samuel 18:30 | And the king said, "Turn aside and stand here." So he turned aside and stood still. |
| 2 Samuel 18:31 | And behold, the Cushite came, and the Cushite said, "Good news for my lord the king! For the LORD has delivered you this day from the hand of all who rose up against you." |
| 2 Samuel 18:32 | The king said to the Cushite, "Is it well with the young man Absalom?" And the Cushite answered, "May the enemies of my lord the king and all who rise up against you for evil be like that young man." |
| 2 Samuel 18:33 | And the king was deeply moved and went up to the chamber over the gate and wept. And as he went, he said, "O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!" |
| 2 Samuel 19:1 | It was told Joab, "Behold, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom." |
| 2 Samuel 19:2 | So the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the people, for the people heard that day, "The king is grieving for his son." |
| 2 Samuel 19:3 | And the people stole into the city that day as people steal in who are ashamed when they flee in battle. |
| 2 Samuel 19:4 | The king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, "O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!" |
| 2 Samuel 19:5 | Then Joab came into the house to the king and said, "You have today covered with shame the faces of all your servants, who have this day saved your life and the lives of your sons and your daughters and the lives of your wives and your concubines, |
| 2 Samuel 19:6 | because you love those who hate you and hate those who love you. For you have made it clear today that commanders and servants are nothing to you, for today I know that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, then you would be pleased. |
| 2 Samuel 19:7 | Now therefore arise, go out and speak kindly to your servants, for I swear by the Lord, if you do not go, not a man will stay with you this night, and this will be worse for you than all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now" |
| 2 Samuel 19:8 | Then the king arose and took his seat in the gate. And the people were all told, "Behold, the king is sitting in the gate." And all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his home. |
| 2 Samuel 19:9 | And all the people were arguing throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies and saved us from the hand of the Philistines, and now he has fled out of the land from Absalom. |
| 2 Samuel 19:10 | But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why do you say nothing about bringing the king back?" |
| 2 Samuel 19:11 | And King David sent this message to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, "Say to the elders of Judah, 'Why should you be the last to bring the king back to his house, when the word of all Israel has come to the king? |
| 2 Samuel 19:12 | You are my brothers; you are my bone and my flesh. Why then should you be the last to bring back the king?' |
| 2 Samuel 19:13 | And say to Amasa, 'Are you not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me and more also, if you are not commander of my army from now on in place of Joab.'" |
| 2 Samuel 19:14 | And he swayed the heart of all the men of Judah as one man, so that they sent word to the king, "Return, both you and all your servants." |
| 2 Samuel 19:15 | So the king came back to the Jordan, and Judah came to Gilgal to meet the king and to bring the king over the Jordan. |
| 2 Samuel 19:16 | And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, from Bahurim, hurried to come down with the men of Judah to meet King David. |
| 2 Samuel 19:17 | And with him were a thousand men from Benjamin. And Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, with his fifteen sons and his twenty servants, rushed down to the Jordan before the king, |
| 2 Samuel 19:18 | and they crossed the ford to bring over the king's household and to do his pleasure. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was about to cross the Jordan, |
| 2 Samuel 19:19 | and said to the king, "Let not my lord hold me guilty or remember how your servant did wrong on the day my lord the king left Jerusalem. Do not let the king take it to heart. |
| 2 Samuel 19:20 | For your servant knows that I have sinned. Therefore, behold, I have come this day, the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king." |
| 2 Samuel 19:21 | Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered, "Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD's anointed?" |
| 2 Samuel 19:22 | But David said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should this day be as an adversary to me? Shall anyone be put to death in Israel this day? For do I not know that I am this day king over Israel?" |
| 2 Samuel 19:23 | And the king said to Shimei, "You shall not die." And the king gave him his oath. |
| 2 Samuel 19:24 | And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king. He had neither taken care of his feet nor trimmed his beard nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came back in safety. |
| 2 Samuel 19:25 | And when he came to Jerusalem to meet the king, the king said to him, "Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?" |
| 2 Samuel 19:26 | He answered, "My lord, O king, my servant deceived me, for your servant said to him, 'I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go with the king.' For your servant is lame. |
| 2 Samuel 19:27 | He has slandered your servant to my lord the king. But my lord the king is like the angel of God; do therefore what seems good to you. |
| 2 Samuel 19:28 | For all my father's house were but men doomed to death before my lord the king, but you set your servant among those who eat at your table. What further right have I, then, to cry to the king?" |
| 2 Samuel 19:29 | And the king said to him, "Why speak any more of your affairs? I have decided: you and Ziba shall divide the land." |
| 2 Samuel 19:30 | And Mephibosheth said to the king, "Oh, let him take it all, since my lord the king has come safely home." |
| 2 Samuel 19:31 | Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim, and he went on with the king to the Jordan, to escort him over the Jordan. |
| 2 Samuel 19:32 | Barzillai was a very aged man, eighty years old. He had provided the king with food while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very wealthy man. |
| 2 Samuel 19:33 | And the king said to Barzillai, "Come over with me, and I will provide for you with me in Jerusalem." |
| 2 Samuel 19:34 | But Barzillai said to the king, "How many years have I still to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem? |
| 2 Samuel 19:35 | I am this day eighty years old. Can I discern what is pleasant and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or what he drinks? Can I still listen to the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king? |
| 2 Samuel 19:36 | Your servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward? |
| 2 Samuel 19:37 | Please let your servant return, that I may die in my own city near the grave of my father and my mother. But here is your servant Chimham. Let him go over with my lord the king, and do for him whatever seems good to you." |
| 2 Samuel 19:38 | And the king answered, "Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you, and all that you desire of me I will do for you." |
| 2 Samuel 19:39 | Then all the people went over the Jordan, and the king went over. And the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and he returned to his own home. |
| 2 Samuel 19:40 | The king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him. All the people of Judah, and also half the people of Israel, brought the king on his way. |
| 2 Samuel 19:41 | Then all the men of Israel came to the king and said to the king, "Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away and brought the king and his household over the Jordan, and all David's men with him?" |
| 2 Samuel 19:42 | All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "Because the king is our close relative. Why then are you angry over this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king's expense? Or has he given us any gift?" |
| 2 Samuel 19:43 | And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, "We have ten shares in the king, and in David also we have more than you. Why then did you despise us? Were we not the first to speak of bringing back our king?" But the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel. |
| 2 Samuel 20:1 | Now there happened to be there a worthless man, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjaminite. And he blew the trumpet and said, "We have no portion in David, and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; every man to his tents, O Israel!" |
| 2 Samuel 20:2 | So all the men of Israel withdrew from David and followed Sheba the son of Bichri. But the men of Judah followed their king steadfastly from the Jordan to Jerusalem. |
| 2 Samuel 20:3 | And David came to his house at Jerusalem. And the king took the ten concubines whom he had left to care for the house and put them in a house under guard and provided for them, but did not go in to them. So they were shut up until the day of their death, living as if in widowhood. |
| 2 Samuel 20:4 | Then the king said to Amasa, "Call the men of Judah together to me within three days, and be here yourself." |
| 2 Samuel 20:5 | So Amasa went to summon Judah, but he delayed beyond the set time that had been appointed him. |
| 2 Samuel 20:6 | And David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom. Take your lord's servants and pursue him, lest he get himself to fortified cities and escape from us." |
| 2 Samuel 20:7 | And there went out after him Joab's men and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men. They went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri. |
| 2 Samuel 20:8 | When they were at the great stone that is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Now Joab was wearing a soldier's garment, and over it was a belt with a sword in its sheath fastened on his thigh, and as he went forward it fell out. |
| 2 Samuel 20:9 | And Joab said to Amasa, "Is it well with you, my brother?" And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him. |
| 2 Samuel 20:10 | But Amasa did not observe the sword that was in Joab's hand. So Joab struck him with it in the stomach and spilled his entrails to the ground without striking a second blow, and he died.Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri. |
| 2 Samuel 20:11 | And one of Joab's young men took his stand by Amasa and said, "Whoever favors Joab, and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab." |
| 2 Samuel 20:12 | And Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the highway. And anyone who came by, seeing him, stopped. And when the man saw that all the people stopped, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field and threw a garment over him. |
| 2 Samuel 20:13 | When he was taken out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri. |
| 2 Samuel 20:14 | And Sheba passed through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth-maacah, and all the Bichrites assembled and followed him in. |
| 2 Samuel 20:15 | And all the men who were with Joab came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maacah. They cast up a mound against the city, and it stood against the rampart, and they were battering the wall to throw it down. |
| 2 Samuel 20:16 | Then a wise woman called from the city, "Listen! Listen! Tell Joab, 'Come here, that I may speak to you.'" |
| 2 Samuel 20:17 | And he came near her, and the woman said, "Are you Joab?" He answered, "I am." Then she said to him, "Listen to the words of your servant." And he answered, "I am listening." |
| 2 Samuel 20:18 | Then she said, "They used to say in former times, 'Let them but ask counsel at Abel,' and so they settled a matter. |
| 2 Samuel 20:19 | I am one of those who are peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why will you swallow up the heritage of the LORD?" |
| 2 Samuel 20:20 | Joab answered, "Far be it from me, far be it, that I should swallow up or destroy! |
| 2 Samuel 20:21 | That is not true. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, called Sheba the son of Bichri, has lifted up his hand against King David. Give up him alone, and I will withdraw from the city." And the woman said to Joab, "Behold, his head shall be thrown to you over the wall." |
| 2 Samuel 20:22 | Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri and threw it out to Joab. So he blew the trumpet, and they dispersed from the city, every man to his home. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king. |
| 2 Samuel 20:23 | Now Joab was in command of all the army of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was in command of the Cherethites and the Pelethites; |
| 2 Samuel 20:24 | and Adoram was in charge of the forced labor; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder; |
| 2 Samuel 20:25 | and Sheva was secretary; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests; |
| 2 Samuel 20:26 | and Ira the Jairite was also David's priest. |
| 1 Samuel 30:31 | in Hebron, for all the places where David and his men had roamed. |
| 2 Samuel 20:26 | and Ira the Jairite was also David's priest. |
| and praise | |
| Psalms 33:1 | Shout for joy in the LORD, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright. |
| Psalms 42:4 | These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival. |
| Psalms 122:1 | I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD!" |
| Psalms 122:2 | Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! |
| Psalms 122:3 | Jerusalem--built as a city that is bound firmly together, |
| Psalms 122:4 | to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. |
| Revelation 5:9 | And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, |
| Revelation 5:10 | and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth." |
| Revelation 5:11 | Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, |
| Revelation 5:12 | saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!" |
| Revelation 5:13 | And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!" |
| Revelation 5:14 | And the four living creatures said, "Amen!" and the elders fell down and worshiped. |
| Revelation 19:1 | After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, |
| Revelation 19:2 | for his judgments are true and just; for he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and has avenged on her the blood of his servants." |
| Revelation 19:3 | Once more they cried out, "Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up forever and ever." |
| Revelation 19:4 | And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, "Amen. Hallelujah!" |
| Revelation 19:5 | And from the throne came a voice saying, "Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great." |
| Revelation 19:6 | Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. |

| 1 Samuel 23:22 | Go, make yet more sure. Know and see the place where his foot is, and who has seen him there, for it is told me that he is very cunning. |
| 1 Samuel 23:23 | See therefore and take note of all the lurking places where he hides, and come back to me with sure information. Then I will go with you. And if he is in the land, I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah." |
| 1 Samuel 23:24 | And they arose and went to Ziph ahead of Saul.Now David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah to the south of Jeshimon. |
| 1 Samuel 24:11 | See, my father, see the corner of your robe in my hand. For by the fact that I cut off the corner of your robe and did not kill you, you may know and see that there is no wrong or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt my life to take it. |
| 1 Samuel 24:12 | May the LORD judge between me and you, may the LORD avenge me against you, but my hand shall not be against you. |
| 1 Samuel 26:1 | Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Is not David hiding himself on the hill of Hachilah, which is on the east of Jeshimon?" |
| 1 Samuel 26:2 | So Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph with three thousand chosen men of Israel to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph. |
| 1 Samuel 26:3 | And Saul encamped on the hill of Hachilah, which is beside the road on the east of Jeshimon. But David remained in the wilderness. When he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness, |
| 1 Samuel 26:4 | David sent out spies and learned that Saul had come. |
| 1 Samuel 26:5 | Then David rose and came to the place where Saul had encamped. And David saw the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army. Saul was lying within the encampment, while the army was encamped around him. |
| 1 Samuel 26:6 | Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Joab's brother Abishai the son of Zeruiah, "Who will go down with me into the camp to Saul?" And Abishai said, "I will go down with you." |
| 1 Samuel 26:7 | So David and Abishai went to the army by night. And there lay Saul sleeping within the encampment, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head, and Abner and the army lay around him. |
| 1 Samuel 26:8 | Then said Abishai to David, "God has given your enemy into your hand this day. Now please let me pin him to the earth with one stroke of the spear, and I will not strike him twice." |
| 1 Samuel 26:9 | But David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him, for who can put out his hand against the LORD's anointed and be guiltless?" |
| 1 Samuel 26:10 | And David said, "As the LORD lives, the LORD will strike him, or his day will come to die, or he will go down into battle and perish. |
| 1 Samuel 26:11 | The LORD forbid that I should put out my hand against the LORD's anointed. But take now the spear that is at his head and the jar of water, and let us go." |
| 1 Samuel 26:12 | So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul's head, and they went away. No man saw it or knew it, nor did any awake, for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen upon them. |
| 1 Samuel 26:13 | Then David went over to the other side and stood far off on the top of the hill, with a great space between them. |
| 1 Samuel 26:14 | And David called to the army, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, "Will you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner answered, "Who are you who calls to the king?" |
| 1 Samuel 26:15 | And David said to Abner, "Are you not a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord. |
| 1 Samuel 26:16 | This thing that you have done is not good. As the LORD lives, you deserve to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is and the jar of water that was at his head." |
| 1 Samuel 26:17 | Saul recognized David's voice and said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" And David said, "It is my voice, my lord, O king." |
| 1 Samuel 26:18 | And he said, "Why does my lord pursue after his servant? For what have I done? What evil is on my hands? |
| 1 Samuel 26:19 | Now therefore let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is the LORD who has stirred you up against me, may he accept an offering, but if it is men, may they be cursed before the LORD, for they have driven me out this day that I should have no share in the heritage of the LORD, saying, 'Go, serve other gods.' |
| 1 Samuel 26:20 | Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD, for the king of Israel has come out to seek a single flea like one who hunts a partridge in the mountains." |
| 1 Samuel 26:21 | Then Saul said, "I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Behold, I have acted foolishly, and have made a great mistake." |
| 1 Samuel 26:22 | And David answered and said, "Here is the spear, O king! Let one of the young men come over and take it. |
| 1 Samuel 26:23 | The LORD rewards every man for his righteousness and his faithfulness, for the LORD gave you into my hand today, and I would not put out my hand against the LORD's anointed. |
| 1 Samuel 26:24 | Behold, as your life was precious this day in my sight, so may my life be precious in the sight of the LORD, and may he deliver me out of all tribulation." |
| 1 Samuel 26:25 | Then Saul said to David, "Blessed be you, my son David! You will do many things and will succeed in them." So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place. |

| Revelation 7:13 | Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?" |
