1 Samuel 23:1-29

Then they told
<05046> (8686)

David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, the Philistines
<06430>

fight
<03898> (8737)

against Keilah
<07084>_,

and they rob
<08154> (8802)

the threshingfloors
<01637>_.

Therefore David
<01732>

enquired
<07592> (8799)

of the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Shall I go
<03212> (8799)

and smite
<05221> (8689)

these Philistines
<06430>_?

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

and smite
<05221> (8689)

the Philistines
<06430>_,

and save
<03467> (8689)

Keilah
<07084>_.

And David's
<01732>

men
<0582>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, we be afraid
<03373>

here in Judah
<03063>_:

how much more then if we come
<03212> (8799)

to Keilah
<07084>

against the armies
<04634>

of the Philistines
<06430>_?

Then David
<01732>

enquired
<07592> (8800)

of the LORD
<03068>

yet again
<03254> (8686)_.

And the LORD
<03068>

answered
<06030> (8799)

him and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

go down
<03381> (8798)

to Keilah
<07084>_;

for I will deliver
<05414> (8802)

the Philistines
<06430>

into thine hand
<03027>_.

So David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Keilah
<07084>_,

and fought
<03898> (8735)

with the Philistines
<06430>_,

and brought away
<05090> (8799)

their cattle
<04735>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

them with a great
<01419>

slaughter
<04347>_.

So David
<01732>

saved
<03467> (8686)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Keilah
<07084>_.

And it came to pass, when Abiathar
<054>

the son
<01121>

of Ahimelech
<0288>

fled
<01272> (8800)

to David
<01732>

to Keilah
<07084>_,

[that] he came down
<03381> (8804)

[with] an ephod
<0646>

in his hand
<03027>_.

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

Saul
<07586>

that David
<01732>

was come
<0935> (8804)

to Keilah
<07084>_.

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>

hath delivered
<05234> (8765)

him into mine hand
<03027>_;

for he is shut in
<05462> (8738)_,

by entering
<0935> (8800)

into a town
<05892>

that hath gates
<01817>

and bars
<01280>_.

And Saul
<07586>

called
<08085> (0)

all the people
<05971>

together
<08085> (8762)

to war
<04421>_,

to go down
<03381> (8800)

to Keilah
<07084>_,

to besiege
<06696> (8800)

David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>_.

And David
<01732>

knew
<03045> (8799)

that Saul
<07586>

secretly practised
<02790> (8688)

mischief
<07451>

against him; and he said
<0559> (8799)

to Abiathar
<054>

the priest
<03548>_,

Bring hither
<05066> (8685)

the ephod
<0646>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

thy servant
<05650>

hath certainly
<08085> (8800)

heard
<08085> (8804)

that Saul
<07586>

seeketh
<01245> (8764)

to come
<0935> (8800)

to Keilah
<07084>_,

to destroy
<07843> (8763)

the city
<05892>

for my sake.

Will the men
<01167>

of Keilah
<07084>

deliver me up
<05462> (8686)

into his hand
<03027>_?

will Saul
<07586>

come down
<03381> (8799)_,

as thy servant
<05650>

hath heard
<08085> (8804)_?

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

I beseech thee, tell
<05046> (8685)

thy servant
<05650>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

He will come down
<03381> (8799)_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

Will the men
<01167>

of Keilah
<07084>

deliver
<05462> (8686)

me and my men
<0582>

into the hand
<03027>

of Saul
<07586>_?

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

They will deliver [thee] up
<05462> (8686)_.

{deliver: Heb. shut up}

Then David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>_,

[which were] about six
<08337>

hundred
<03967> <0376>_,

arose
<06965> (8799)

and departed
<03318> (8799)

out of Keilah
<07084>_,

and went
<01980> (8691)

whithersoever
<0834>

they could go
<01980> (8691)_.

And it was told
<05046> (8717)

Saul
<07586>

that David
<01732>

was escaped
<04422> (8738)

from Keilah
<07084>_;

and he forbare
<02308> (8799)

to go forth
<03318> (8800)_.

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>_.
