| The Lord said to Samuel, “How long do you intend to mourn for Saul? I have rejected him as king over Israel. 1 Fill your horn with olive oil and go! I am sending you to Jesse in Bethlehem, 2 for I have selected a king for myself from among his sons.” 3 |
| (0.23) | 1Sa 16:11 |
| Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Is that all of the young men?” Jesse 1 replied, “There is still the youngest one, but he’s taking care of the flock.” Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him, for we cannot turn our attention to other things until he comes here.” |
| (0.23) | 1Sa 16:16 |
| Let our lord instruct his servants who are here before you to look for a man who knows how to play the lyre. Then whenever the evil spirit from God comes upon you, he can play the lyre 1 and you will feel better.” 2 |
| (0.23) | 1Sa 17:20 |
| So David got up early in the morning and entrusted the flock to someone else who would watch over it. 1 After loading up, he went just as Jesse had instructed him. He arrived at the camp 2 as the army was going out to the battle lines shouting its battle cry. |

| The men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who is coming up? He does so 1 to defy Israel. But the king will make the man who can strike him down very wealthy! He will give him his daughter in marriage, and he will make his father’s house exempt from tax obligations in Israel.” |
| (0.23) | 1Sa 17:26 |
| David asked the men who were standing near him, “What will be done for the man who strikes down this Philistine and frees Israel from this humiliation? 1 For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he defies the armies of the living God?” |
| (0.23) | 1Sa 17:39 |
| David strapped on his sword over his fighting attire and tried to walk around, but he was not used to them. 1 David said to Saul, “I can’t walk in these things, for I’m not used to them.” So David removed them. |

| 1 Then Saul said to David, “Here’s my oldest daughter, Merab. I want to give her to you in marriage. Only be a brave warrior 2 for me and fight the battles of the Lord.” For Saul thought, “There’s no need for me to raise my hand against him. Let it be the hand of the Philistines!” |
| (0.23) | 1Sa 18:21 |
| Saul said, “I will give her to him so that she may become a snare to him and the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “Today is the second time for you to become my son-in-law.” 1 |
| (0.23) | 1Sa 19:5 |
| He risked his life 1 when he struck down the Philistine and the Lord gave all Israel a great victory. When you saw it, you were happy. So why would you sin against innocent blood by putting David to death for no reason?” |
| (0.23) | 1Sa 20:12 |
| Jonathan said to David, “The Lord God of Israel is my witness. 1 I will feel out my father about this time the day after tomorrow. If he is favorably inclined toward David, will I not then send word to you and let you know? 2 |
| (0.23) | 1Sa 20:29 |
| He said, ‘Permit me to go, 1 for we are having a family sacrifice in the city, and my brother urged 2 me to be there. So now, if I have found favor with you, let me go 3 to see my brothers.’ For that reason he has not come to the king’s table.” |
| (0.23) | 1Sa 22:17 |
| Then the king said to the messengers 1 who were stationed beside him, “Turn and kill the priests of the Lord, for they too have sided 2 with David! They knew he was fleeing, but they did not inform me.” But the king’s servants refused to harm 3 the priests of the Lord. |
| (0.23) | 1Sa 24:10 |
| Today your own eyes see how the Lord delivered you – this very day – into my hands in the cave. Some told me to kill you, but I had pity 1 on you and said, ‘I will not extend my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord’s chosen one.’ 2 |
| (0.23) | 1Sa 25:13 |
| Then David instructed his men, “Each of you strap on your sword!” So each one strapped on his sword, and David also strapped on his sword. About four hundred men followed David up, while two hundred stayed behind with the equipment. |
| (0.23) | 1Sa 25:29 |
| When someone sets out to chase you and to take your life, the life of my lord will be wrapped securely in the bag 1 of the living by the Lord your God. But he will sling away the lives of your enemies from the sling’s pocket! |
| (0.23) | 1Sa 26:16 |
| This failure on your part isn’t good! 1 As surely as the Lord lives, you people who have not protected your lord, the Lord’s chosen one, are as good as dead! 2 Now look where the king’s spear and the jug of water that was by his head are!” |
| (0.23) | 1Sa 27:1 |
| David thought to himself, 1 “One of these days I’m going to be swept away by the hand of Saul! There is nothing better for me than to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will despair of searching for me through all the territory of Israel and I will escape from his hand.” |
| (0.23) | 1Sa 28:15 |
| Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” Saul replied, “I am terribly troubled! The Philistines are fighting against me and God has turned away from me. He does not answer me – not by the prophets nor by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what I should do.” |
| (0.23) | 1Sa 29:4 |
| But the leaders of the Philistines became angry with him and said 1 to him, “Send the man back! Let him return to the place that you assigned him! Don’t let him go down with us into the battle, for he might become 2 our adversary in the battle. What better way to please his lord than with the heads of these men? 3 |
