And the Ziphitesh2130 cameh935h8799 unto Saulh7586 to Gibeahh1390, sayingh559h8800, Doth not Davidh1732 hideh5641h8693 himself in the hillh1389 of Hachilahh2444, which is beforeh6440 Jeshimonh3452?

2

Then Saulh7586 aroseh6965h8799, and went downh3381h8799 to the wildernessh4057 of Ziphh2128, having threeh7969 thousandh505 chosenh977h8803 menh376 of Israelh3478 with him, to seekh1245h8763 Davidh1732 in the wildernessh4057 of Ziphh2128.

And Saulh7586 pitchedh2583h8799 in the hillh1389 of Hachilahh2444, which is beforeh6440 Jeshimonh3452, by the wayh1870. But Davidh1732 abodeh3427h8802 in the wildernessh4057, and he sawh7200h8799 that Saulh7586 cameh935h8804 afterh310 him into the wildernessh4057.

4

Davidh1732 therefore sent outh7971h8799 spiesh7270h8764, and understoodh3045h8799 that Saulh7586 was comeh935h8804 in very deedh3559h8737.

5

And Davidh1732 aroseh6965h8799, and cameh935h8799 to the placeh4725 where Saulh7586 had pitchedh2583h8804: and Davidh1732 beheldh7200h8799 the placeh4725 where Saulh7586 layh7901h8804, and Abnerh74 the sonh1121 of Nerh5369, the captainh8269 of his hosth6635: and Saulh7586 layh7901h8802 in the trenchh4570, and the peopleh5971 pitchedh2583h8802 round abouth5439 him. trench: or, midst of his carriages

6

Then answeredh6030h8799 Davidh1732 and saidh559h8799 to Ahimelechh288 the Hittiteh2850, and to Abishaih52 the sonh1121 of Zeruiahh6870, brotherh251 to Joabh3097, sayingh559h8800, Who will go downh3381h8799 with me to Saulh7586 to the camph4264? And Abishaih52 saidh559h8799, I will go downh3381h8799 with thee.

7

So Davidh1732 and Abishaih52 cameh935h8799 to the peopleh5971 by nighth3915: and, behold, Saulh7586 layh7901h8802 sleepingh3463 within the trenchh4570, and his spearh2595 stuckh4600h8803 in the groundh776 at his bolsterh4763: but Abnerh74 and the peopleh5971 layh7901h8802 round abouth5439 him.

8

Then saidh559h8799 Abishaih52 to Davidh1732, Godh430 hath deliveredh5462h8765 thine enemyh341h8802 into thine handh3027 this dayh3117: now therefore let me smiteh5221h8686 him, I pray thee, with the spearh2595 even to the earthh776 at onceh6471h259, and I will not smite him the second timeh8138h8799. delivered: Heb. shut up

9

And Davidh1732 saidh559h8799 to Abishaih52, Destroyh7843h8686 him not: for who can stretch forthh7971h8804 his handh3027 against the LORD'Sh3068 anointedh4899, and be guiltlessh5352h8738?

10

Davidh1732 saidh559h8799 furthermore, As the LORDh3068 livethh2416, the LORDh3068 shall smiteh5062h8799 him; or his dayh3117 shall comeh935h8799 to dieh4191h8804; or he shall descendh3381h8799 into battleh4421, and perishh5595h8738.

11

The LORDh3068 forbidh2486 that I should stretch forthh7971h8800 mine handh3027 against the LORD'Sh3068 anointedh4899: but, I pray thee, takeh3947h8798 thou now the spearh2595 that is at his bolsterh4763, and the cruseh6835 of waterh4325, and let us goh3212h8799.

12

So Davidh1732 tookh3947h8799 the spearh2595 and the cruseh6835 of waterh4325 from Saul'sh7586 bolsterh7226; and they gat them awayh3212h8799, and no man sawh7200h8802 it , nor knewh3045h8802 it , neither awakedh6974h8688: for they were all asleeph3463; because a deep sleeph8639 from the LORDh3068 was fallenh5307h8804 upon them.

13

Then Davidh1732 went overh5674h8799 to the other sideh5676, and stoodh5975h8799 on the toph7218 of an hillh2022 afar offh7350; a greath7227 spaceh4725 being between them:

14

And Davidh1732 criedh7121h8799 to the peopleh5971, and to Abnerh74 the sonh1121 of Nerh5369, sayingh559h8800, Answeresth6030h8799 thou not, Abnerh74? Then Abnerh74 answeredh6030h8799 and saidh559h8799, Who art thou that criesth7121h8804 to the kingh4428?

15

And Davidh1732 saidh559h8799 to Abnerh74, Art not thou a valiant manh376? and who is like to thee in Israelh3478? wherefore then hast thou not kepth8104h8804 thy lordh113 the kingh4428? for there cameh935h8804 oneh259 of the peopleh5971 in to destroyh7843h8687 the kingh4428 thy lordh113.

16

This thingh1697 is not goodh2896 that thou hast doneh6213h8804. As the LORDh3068 livethh2416, ye are worthyh1121 to dieh4194, because ye have not kepth8104h8804 your masterh113, the LORD'Sh3068 anointedh4899. And now seeh7200h8798 where the king'sh4428 spearh2595 is , and the cruseh6835 of waterh4325 that was at his bolsterh4763. worthy to die: Heb. the sons of death

17

And Saulh7586 knewh5234h8686 David'sh1732 voiceh6963, and saidh559h8799, Is this thy voiceh6963, my sonh1121 Davidh1732? And Davidh1732 saidh559h8799, It is my voiceh6963, my lordh113, O kingh4428.

18

And he saidh559h8799, Wherefore doth my lordh113 thus pursueh7291h8802 afterh310 his servanth5650? for what have I doneh6213h8804? or what evilh7451 is in mine handh3027?

19

Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lordh113 the kingh4428 hearh8085h8799 the wordsh1697 of his servanth5650. If the LORDh3068 have stirred thee uph5496h8689 against me, let him accepth7306h8686 an offeringh4503: but if they be the childrenh1121 of menh120, cursedh779h8803 be they beforeh6440 the LORDh3068; for they have drivenh1644h8765 me out this dayh3117 from abidingh5596h8692 in the inheritanceh5159 of the LORDh3068, sayingh559h8800, Goh3212h8798, serveh5647h8798 otherh312 godsh430. accept: Heb. smell
abiding: Heb. cleaving

20

Now therefore, let not my bloodh1818 fallh5307h8799 to the earthh776 before the faceh6440 of the LORDh3068: for the kingh4428 of Israelh3478 is come outh3318h8804 to seekh1245h8763 ah259 fleah6550, as when one doth hunth7291h8799 a partridgeh7124 in the mountainsh2022.

21

Then saidh559h8799 Saulh7586, I have sinnedh2398h8804: returnh7725h8798, my sonh1121 Davidh1732: for I will no more do thee harmh7489h8686, because my soulh5315 was precioush3365h8804 in thine eyesh5869 this dayh3117: behold, I have played the foolh5528h8689, and have erredh7686h8799 exceedinglyh7235h8687h3966.

22

And Davidh1732 answeredh6030h8799 and saidh559h8799, Behold the king'sh4428 spearh2595! and let oneh259 of the young menh5288 come overh5674h8799 and fetchh3947h8799 it.

23

The LORDh3068 renderh7725h8686 to every manh376 his righteousnessh6666 and his faithfulnessh530: for the LORDh3068 deliveredh5414h8804 thee into my handh3027 to dayh3117, but I wouldh14h8804 not stretch forthh7971h8800 mine handh3027 against the LORD'Sh3068 anointedh4899.

24

And, behold, as thy lifeh5315 was much set byh1431h8804 this dayh3117 in mine eyesh5869, so let my lifeh5315 be much set byh1431h8799 in the eyesh5869 of the LORDh3068, and let him deliverh5337h8686 me out of all tribulationh6869.

25

Then Saulh7586 saidh559h8799 to Davidh1732, Blessedh1288h8803 be thou, my sonh1121 Davidh1732: thou shalt both doh6213h8799 greath6213h8800 things , and also shalt stillh3201h8800 prevailh3201h8799. So Davidh1732 wenth3212h8799 on his wayh1870, and Saulh7586 returnedh7725h8804 to his placeh4725.
