1 Samuel 24:1-15

And it came to pass, when Saul
<07586>

was returned
<07725> (8804)

from following
<0310>

the Philistines
<06430>_,

that it was told
<05046> (8686)

him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, David
<01732>

[is] in the wilderness
<04057>

of Engedi
<05872>_.

{following: Heb. after}

Then Saul
<07586>

took
<03947> (8799)

three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

chosen
<0977> (8803)

men
<0376>

out of all Israel
<03478>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to seek
<01245> (8763)

David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

upon
<06440>

the rocks
<06697>

of the wild goats
<03277>_.

And he came
<0935> (8799)

to the sheepcotes
<01448> <06629>

by the way
<01870>_,

where [was] a cave
<04631>_;

and Saul
<07586>

went in
<0935> (8799)

to cover
<05526> (8687)

his feet
<07272>_:

and David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

remained
<03427> (8802)

in the sides
<03411>

of the cave
<04631>_.

And the men
<0582>

of David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold the day
<03117>

of which the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto thee, Behold, I will deliver
<05414> (8802)

thine enemy
<0341> (8802)

into thine hand
<03027>_,

that thou mayest do
<06213> (8804)

to him as it shall seem good
<03190> (8799)

unto thee
<05869>_.

Then David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and cut off
<03772> (8799)

the skirt
<03671>

of Saul's
<07586>

robe
<04598>

privily
<03909>_.

{Saul's...: Heb. the robe which was Saul's}

And it came to pass afterward
<0310>_,

that David's
<01732>

heart
<03820>

smote
<05221> (8686)

him, because he had cut off
<03772> (8804)

Saul's
<07586>

skirt
<03671>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto his men
<0582>_,

The LORD
<03068>

forbid
<02486>

that I should do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>

unto my master
<0113>_,

the LORD'S
<03068>

anointed
<04899>_,

to stretch forth
<07971> (8800)

mine hand
<03027>

against him, seeing he [is] the anointed
<04899>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

So David
<01732>

stayed
<08156> (8762)

his servants
<0582>

with these words
<01697>_,

and suffered
<05414> (8804)

them not to rise
<06965> (8800)

against Saul
<07586>_.

But Saul
<07586>

rose up
<06965> (8804)

out of the cave
<04631>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

on [his] way
<01870>_.

{stayed: Heb. cut off}

David
<01732>

also arose
<06965> (8799)

afterward, and went out
<03318> (8799)

of the cave
<04631>_,

and cried
<07121> (8799)

after
<0310>

Saul
<07586>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

My lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_.

And when Saul
<07586>

looked
<05027> (8686)

behind
<0310>

him, David
<01732>

stooped
<06915> (8799)

with his face
<0639>

to the earth
<0776>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Saul
<07586>_,

Wherefore hearest
<08085> (8799)

thou men's
<0120>

words
<01697>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, David
<01732>

seeketh
<01245> (8764)

thy hurt
<07451>_?

Behold, this day
<03117>

thine eyes
<05869>

have seen
<07200> (8804)

how that the LORD
<03068>

had delivered
<05414> (8804)

thee to day
<03117>

into mine hand
<03027>

in the cave
<04631>_:

and [some] bade
<0559> (8804)

[me] kill
<02026> (8800)

thee: but [mine eye] spared
<02347> (8799)

thee; and I said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not put forth
<07971> (8799)

mine hand
<03027>

against my lord
<0113>_;

for he [is] the LORD'S
<03068>

anointed
<04899>_.

Moreover, my father
<01>_,

see
<07200> (8798)_,

yea, see
<07200> (8798)

the skirt
<03671>

of thy robe
<04598>

in my hand
<03027>_:

for in that I cut off
<03772> (8800)

the skirt
<03671>

of thy robe
<04598>_,

and killed
<02026> (8804)

thee not, know
<03045> (8798)

thou and see
<07200> (8798)

that [there is] neither evil
<07451>

nor transgression
<06588>

in mine hand
<03027>_,

and I have not sinned
<02398> (8804)

against thee; yet thou huntest
<06658> (8802)

my soul
<05315>

to take
<03947> (8800)

it.

The LORD
<03068>

judge
<08199> (8799)

between me and thee, and the LORD
<03068>

avenge
<05358> (8804)

me of thee: but mine hand
<03027>

shall not be upon thee.

As saith
<0559> (8799)

the proverb
<04912>

of the ancients
<06931>_,

Wickedness
<07562>

proceedeth
<03318> (8799)

from the wicked
<07563>_:

but mine hand
<03027>

shall not be upon thee.

After
<0310>

whom is the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

come out
<03318> (8804)_?

after
<0310>

whom dost thou pursue
<07291> (8802)_?

after
<0310>

a dead
<04191> (8801)

dog
<03611>_,

after
<0310>

a
<0259>

flea
<06550>_.

The LORD
<03068>

therefore be judge
<01781>_,

and judge
<08199> (8804)

between me and thee, and see
<07200> (8799)_,

and plead
<07378> (8799)

my cause
<07379>_,

and deliver
<08199> (8799)

me out of thine hand
<03027>_.

{deliver: Heb. judge}
