1 Samuel 26:1-25

And the Ziphites
<02130>

came
<0935> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>

to Gibeah
<01390>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Doth not David
<01732>

hide
<05641> (8693)

himself in the hill
<01389>

of Hachilah
<02444>_,

[which is] before
<06440>

Jeshimon
<03452>_?

Then Saul
<07586>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went down
<03381> (8799)

to the wilderness
<04057>

of Ziph
<02128>_,

having three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

chosen
<0977> (8803)

men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

with him, to seek
<01245> (8763)

David
<01732>

in the wilderness
<04057>

of Ziph
<02128>_.

And Saul
<07586>

pitched
<02583> (8799)

in the hill
<01389>

of Hachilah
<02444>_,

which [is] before
<06440>

Jeshimon
<03452>_,

by the way
<01870>_.

But David
<01732>

abode
<03427> (8802)

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

and he saw
<07200> (8799)

that Saul
<07586>

came
<0935> (8804)

after
<0310>

him into the wilderness
<04057>_.

David
<01732>

therefore sent out
<07971> (8799)

spies
<07270> (8764)_,

and understood
<03045> (8799)

that Saul
<07586>

was come
<0935> (8804)

in very deed
<03559> (8737)_.

And David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to the place
<04725>

where Saul
<07586>

had pitched
<02583> (8804)_:

and David
<01732>

beheld
<07200> (8799)

the place
<04725>

where Saul
<07586>

lay
<07901> (8804)_,

and Abner
<074>

the son
<01121>

of Ner
<05369>_,

the captain
<08269>

of his host
<06635>_:

and Saul
<07586>

lay
<07901> (8802)

in the trench
<04570>_,

and the people
<05971>

pitched
<02583> (8802)

round about
<05439>

him. {trench: or, midst of his carriages}

Then answered
<06030> (8799)

David
<01732>

and said
<0559> (8799)

to Ahimelech
<0288>

the Hittite
<02850>_,

and to Abishai
<052>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>_,

brother
<0251>

to Joab
<03097>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Who will go down
<03381> (8799)

with me to Saul
<07586>

to the camp
<04264>_?

And Abishai
<052>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will go down
<03381> (8799)

with thee.

So David
<01732>

and Abishai
<052>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the people
<05971>

by night
<03915>_:

and, behold, Saul
<07586>

lay
<07901> (8802)

sleeping
<03463>

within the trench
<04570>_,

and his spear
<02595>

stuck
<04600> (8803)

in the ground
<0776>

at his bolster
<04763>_:

but Abner
<074>

and the people
<05971>

lay
<07901> (8802)

round about
<05439>

him.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Abishai
<052>

to David
<01732>_,

God
<0430>

hath delivered
<05462> (8765)

thine enemy
<0341> (8802)

into thine hand
<03027>

this day
<03117>_:

now therefore let me smite
<05221> (8686)

him, I pray thee, with the spear
<02595>

even to the earth
<0776>

at once
<06471> <0259>_,

and I will not [smite] him the second time
<08138> (8799)_.

{delivered: Heb. shut up}

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Abishai
<052>_,

Destroy
<07843> (8686)

him not: for who can stretch forth
<07971> (8804)

his hand
<03027>

against the LORD'S
<03068>

anointed
<04899>_,

and be guiltless
<05352> (8738)_?

David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

furthermore, [As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

the LORD
<03068>

shall smite
<05062> (8799)

him; or his day
<03117>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

to die
<04191> (8804)_;

or he shall descend
<03381> (8799)

into battle
<04421>_,

and perish
<05595> (8738)_.

The LORD
<03068>

forbid
<02486>

that I should stretch forth
<07971> (8800)

mine hand
<03027>

against the LORD'S
<03068>

anointed
<04899>_:

but, I pray thee, take
<03947> (8798)

thou now the spear
<02595>

that [is] at his bolster
<04763>_,

and the cruse
<06835>

of water
<04325>_,

and let us go
<03212> (8799)_.

So David
<01732>

took
<03947> (8799)

the spear
<02595>

and the cruse
<06835>

of water
<04325>

from Saul's
<07586>

bolster
<07226>_;

and they gat them away
<03212> (8799)_,

and no man saw
<07200> (8802)

[it], nor knew
<03045> (8802)

[it], neither awaked
<06974> (8688)_:

for they [were] all asleep
<03463>_;

because a deep sleep
<08639>

from the LORD
<03068>

was fallen
<05307> (8804)

upon them.

Then David
<01732>

went over
<05674> (8799)

to the other side
<05676>_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

on the top
<07218>

of an hill
<02022>

afar off
<07350>_;

a great
<07227>

space
<04725>

[being] between them:

And David
<01732>

cried
<07121> (8799)

to the people
<05971>_,

and to Abner
<074>

the son
<01121>

of Ner
<05369>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Answerest
<06030> (8799)

thou not, Abner
<074>_?

Then Abner
<074>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [art] thou [that] criest
<07121> (8804)

to the king
<04428>_?

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Abner
<074>_,

[Art] not thou a [valiant] man
<0376>_?

and who [is] like to thee in Israel
<03478>_?

wherefore then hast thou not kept
<08104> (8804)

thy lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_?

for there came
<0935> (8804)

one
<0259>

of the people
<05971>

in to destroy
<07843> (8687)

the king
<04428>

thy lord
<0113>_.

This thing
<01697>

[is] not good
<02896>

that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_.

[As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

ye [are] worthy
<01121>

to die
<04194>_,

because ye have not kept
<08104> (8804)

your master
<0113>_,

the LORD'S
<03068>

anointed
<04899>_.

And now see
<07200> (8798)

where the king's
<04428>

spear
<02595>

[is], and the cruse
<06835>

of water
<04325>

that [was] at his bolster
<04763>_.

{worthy to die: Heb. the sons of death}

And Saul
<07586>

knew
<05234> (8686)

David's
<01732>

voice
<06963>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] this thy voice
<06963>_,

my son
<01121>

David
<01732>_?

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[It is] my voice
<06963>_,

my lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wherefore doth my lord
<0113>

thus pursue
<07291> (8802)

after
<0310>

his servant
<05650>_?

for what have I done
<06213> (8804)_?

or what evil
<07451>

[is] in mine hand
<03027>_?

Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

hear
<08085> (8799)

the words
<01697>

of his servant
<05650>_.

If the LORD
<03068>

have stirred thee up
<05496> (8689)

against me, let him accept
<07306> (8686)

an offering
<04503>_:

but if [they be] the children
<01121>

of men
<0120>_,

cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] they before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_;

for they have driven
<01644> (8765)

me out this day
<03117>

from abiding
<05596> (8692)

in the inheritance
<05159>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

serve
<05647> (8798)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_.

{accept: Heb. smell} {abiding: Heb. cleaving}

Now therefore, let not my blood
<01818>

fall
<05307> (8799)

to the earth
<0776>

before the face
<06440>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

for the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

is come out
<03318> (8804)

to seek
<01245> (8763)

a
<0259>

flea
<06550>_,

as when one doth hunt
<07291> (8799)

a partridge
<07124>

in the mountains
<02022>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Saul
<07586>_,

I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_:

return
<07725> (8798)_,

my son
<01121>

David
<01732>_:

for I will no more do thee harm
<07489> (8686)_,

because my soul
<05315>

was precious
<03365> (8804)

in thine eyes
<05869>

this day
<03117>_:

behold, I have played the fool
<05528> (8689)_,

and have erred
<07686> (8799)

exceedingly
<07235> (8687) <03966>_.

And David
<01732>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold the king's
<04428>

spear
<02595>_!

and let one
<0259>

of the young men
<05288>

come over
<05674> (8799)

and fetch
<03947> (8799)

it.

The LORD
<03068>

render
<07725> (8686)

to every man
<0376>

his righteousness
<06666>

and his faithfulness
<0530>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

delivered
<05414> (8804)

thee into [my] hand
<03027>

to day
<03117>_,

but I would
<014> (8804)

not stretch forth
<07971> (8800)

mine hand
<03027>

against the LORD'S
<03068>

anointed
<04899>_.

And, behold, as thy life
<05315>

was much set by
<01431> (8804)

this day
<03117>

in mine eyes
<05869>_,

so let my life
<05315>

be much set by
<01431> (8799)

in the eyes
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and let him deliver
<05337> (8686)

me out of all tribulation
<06869>_.

Then Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] thou, my son
<01121>

David
<01732>_:

thou shalt both do
<06213> (8799)

great
<06213> (8800)

[things], and also shalt still
<03201> (8800)

prevail
<03201> (8799)_.

So David
<01732>

went
<03212> (8799)

on his way
<01870>_,

and Saul
<07586>

returned
<07725> (8804)

to his place
<04725>_.
