1 Samuel 23:14-29

And David
<01732>
abode
<03427> (8799)
in the wilderness
<04057>
in strong holds
<04679>_,
and remained
<03427> (8799)
in a mountain
<02022>
in the wilderness
<04057>
of Ziph
<02128>_.
And Saul
<07586>
sought
<01245> (8762)
him every day
<03117>_,
but God
<0430>
delivered
<05414> (8804)
him not into his hand
<03027>_.
And David
<01732>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that Saul
<07586>
was come out
<03318> (8804)
to seek
<01245> (8763)
his life
<05315>_:
and David
<01732>
[was] in the wilderness
<04057>
of Ziph
<02128>
in a wood
<02793>_.
And Jonathan
<03083>
Saul's
<07586>
son
<01121>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to David
<01732>
into the wood
<02793>_,
and strengthened
<02388> (8762)
his hand
<03027>
in God
<0430>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Fear
<03372> (8799)
not: for the hand
<03027>
of Saul
<07586>
my father
<01>
shall not find
<04672> (8799)
thee; and thou shalt be king
<04427> (8799)
over Israel
<03478>_,
and I shall be next
<04932>
unto thee; and that also Saul
<07586>
my father
<01>
knoweth
<03045> (8802)_.
And they two
<08147>
made
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_:
and David
<01732>
abode
<03427> (8799)
in the wood
<02793>_,
and Jonathan
<03083>
went
<01980> (8804)
to his house
<01004>_.
Then came up
<05927> (8799)
the Ziphites
<02130>
to Saul
<07586>
to Gibeah
<01390>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Doth not David
<01732>
hide
<05641> (8693)
himself with us in strong holds
<04679>
in the wood
<02793>_,
in the hill
<01389>
of Hachilah
<02444>_,
which [is] on the south
<03225>
of Jeshimon
<03452>_?
{on...: Heb. on the right hand} {Jeshimon: or, the wilderness}
Now therefore, O king
<04428>_,
come down
<03381> (8798)
according to all the desire
<0185>
of thy soul
<05315>
to come down
<03381> (8800)_;
and our part [shall be] to deliver
<05462> (8687)
him into the king's
<04428>
hand
<03027>_.
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] ye of the LORD
<03068>_;
for ye have compassion
<02550> (8804)
on me.
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
I pray you, prepare
<03559> (8685)
yet, and know
<03045> (8798)
and see
<07200> (8798)
his place
<04725>
where his haunt
<07272>
is, [and] who hath seen
<07200> (8804)
him there: for it is told
<0559> (8804)
me [that] he dealeth very
<06191> (8800)
subtilly
<06191> (8686)_.
{haunt...: Heb. foot shall be}
See
<07200> (8798)
therefore, and take knowledge
<03045> (8798)
of all the lurking places
<04224>
where he hideth
<02244> (8691)
himself, and come ye again
<07725> (8804)
to me with the certainty
<03559> (8737)_,
and I will go
<01980> (8804)
with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be
<03426>
in the land
<0776>_,
that I will search
<02664> (8765)
him out throughout all the thousands
<0505>
of Judah
<03063>_.
And they arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Ziph
<02128>
before
<06440>
Saul
<07586>_:
but David
<01732>
and his men
<0582>
[were] in the wilderness
<04057>
of Maon
<04584>_,
in the plain
<06160>
on the south
<03225>
of Jeshimon
<03452>_.
Saul
<07586>
also and his men
<0582>
went
<03212> (8799)
to seek
<01245> (8763)
[him]. And they told
<05046> (8686)
David
<01732>_:
wherefore he came down
<03381> (8799)
into a rock
<05553>_,
and abode
<03427> (8799)
in the wilderness
<04057>
of Maon
<04584>_.
And when Saul
<07586>
heard
<08085> (8799)
[that], he pursued
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
David
<01732>
in the wilderness
<04057>
of Maon
<04584>_.
{into...: or, from the rock}
And Saul
<07586>
went
<03212> (8799)
on this side
<06654>
of the mountain
<02022>_,
and David
<01732>
and his men
<0582>
on that side
<06654>
of the mountain
<02022>_:
and David
<01732>
made haste
<02648> (8737)
to get away
<03212> (8800)
for fear
<06440>
of Saul
<07586>_;
for Saul
<07586>
and his men
<0582>
compassed
<05849> (0)
David
<01732>
and his men
<0582>
round about
<05849> (8802)
to take
<08610> (8800)
them.
But there came
<0935> (8804)
a messenger
<04397>
unto Saul
<07586>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Haste
<04116> (8761)
thee, and come
<03212> (8798)_;
for the Philistines
<06430>
have invaded
<06584> (8804)
the land
<0776>_.
{invaded...: Heb. spread themselves upon, etc}
Wherefore Saul
<07586>
returned
<07725> (8799)
from pursuing
<07291> (8800)
after
<0310>
David
<01732>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
against
<07125> (8800)
the Philistines
<06430>_:
therefore they called
<07121> (8804)
that place
<04725>
Selahammahlekoth
<05555>_.
{Selahammahlekoth: that is, The rock of divisions}
And David
<01732>
went up
<05927> (8799)
from thence, and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in strong holds
<04679>
at Engedi
<05872>_.
