And it came to pass in the daysH3117 of AmraphelH569 kingH4428 of ShinarH8152, AriochH746 kingH4428 of EllasarH495, ChedorlaomerH3540 kingH4428 of ElamH5867, and TidalH8413 kingH4428 of nationsH1471;
That these madeH6213 warH4421 withH854 BeraH1298 kingH4428 of SodomH5467, and with BirshaH1306 kingH4428 of GomorrahH6017, ShinabH8134 kingH4428 of AdmahH126, and ShemeberH8038 kingH4428 of ZeboiimH6636, and the kingH4428 of BelaH1106, which isH1931 ZoarH6820.
All these were joined togetherH2266 in the valeH6010 of SiddimH7708, whichH1931 is the saltH4417 seaH3220.
TwelveH6240+H8147 yearsH8141 they servedH5647+H853 ChedorlaomerH3540, and in the thirteenthH7969+H6240 yearH8141 they rebelledH4775.
And in the fourteenthH6240+H702 yearH8141 cameH935 ChedorlaomerH3540, and the kingsH4428 that were with him, and smoteH5221 the RephaimsH7497 in Ashteroth KarnaimH6255, and the ZuzimsH2104 in HamH1990, and the EmimsH368 in Shaveh KiriathaimH7741, {Shaveh…: or, The plain of Kiriathaim}
And the HoritesH2752 in their mountH2042 SeirH8165, unto ElparanH364, which is byH5921 the wildernessH4057. {Elparan: or, The plain of Paran}
And they returnedH7725, and cameH935 toH413 EnmishpatH5880, which is KadeshH6946, and smoteH5221 all the countryH7704 of the AmalekitesH6003, and also the AmoritesH567, that dweltH3427 in HazezontamarH2688.
And there went outH3318 the kingH4428 of SodomH5467, and the kingH4428 of GomorrahH6017, and the kingH4428 of AdmahH126, and the kingH4428 of ZeboiimH6636, and the kingH4428 of BelaH1106 (the sameH1931 is ZoarH6820;) and they joinedH6186 battleH4421 with them in the valeH6010 of SiddimH7708;
With ChedorlaomerH3540 the kingH4428 of ElamH5867, and with TidalH8413 kingH4428 of nationsH1471, and AmraphelH569 kingH4428 of ShinarH8152, and AriochH746 kingH4428 of EllasarH495; fourH702 kingsH4428 with fiveH2568.
And the valeH6010 of SiddimH7708 was full ofH875 slimepitsH875+H2564; and the kingsH4428 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 fledH5127, and fellH5307 there; and they that remainedH7604 fledH5127 to the mountainH2022.
And they tookH3947 all the goodsH7399 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, and all their victualsH400, and went their wayH3212.
And they tookH3947 LotH3876, Abram'sH87 brother'sH251 sonH1121, who dweltH3427 in SodomH5467, and his goodsH7399, and departedH3212.
And there cameH935 one that had escapedH6412, and toldH5046 AbramH87 the HebrewH5680; for he dweltH7931 in the plainH436 of MamreH4471 the AmoriteH567, brotherH251 of EshcolH812, and brotherH251 of AnerH6063: and these were confederateH1167+H1285 with AbramH87.
And when AbramH87 heardH8085 that his brotherH251 was taken captiveH7617, he armedH7324 his trainedH2593 servants, bornH3211 in his own houseH1004, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and eighteenH6240+H8083, and pursuedH7291 them unto DanH1835. {armed: or, led forth} {trained: or, instructed}
And he dividedH2505 himself against them, he and his servantsH5650, by nightH3915, and smoteH5221 them, and pursuedH7291 them unto HobahH2327, which is on the left handH8040 of DamascusH1834.
And he brought backH7725 all the goodsH7399, and also brought againH7725 his brotherH251 LotH3876, and his goodsH7399, and the womenH802 also, and the peopleH5971.
And the kingH4428 of SodomH5467 went outH3318 to meetH7125 him afterH310 his returnH7725 from the slaughterH5221 of ChedorlaomerH3540, and of the kingsH4428 that were with him, at the valleyH6010 of ShavehH7740, whichH1931 is the king'sH4428 daleH6010.
And MelchizedekH4442 kingH4428 of SalemH8004 brought forthH3318 breadH3899 and wineH3196: and he was the priestH3548 of the most highH5945 GodH410.
And he blessedH1288 him, and saidH559, BlessedH1288 be AbramH87 of the most highH5945 GodH410, possessorH7069 of heavenH8064 and earthH776:
And blessedH1288 be the most highH5945 GodH410, which hath deliveredH4042 thine enemiesH6862 into thy handH3027. And he gaveH5414 him tithesH4643 of all.
And the kingH4428 of SodomH5467 saidH559 unto AbramH87, GiveH5414 me the personsH5315, and takeH3947 the goodsH7399 to thyself. {persons: Heb. souls}
And AbramH87 saidH559 to the kingH4428 of SodomH5467, I have lift upH7311 mine handH3027 unto the LORDH3068, the most highH5945 GodH410, the possessorH7069 of heavenH8064 and earthH776,
That I will notH518 take from a threadH2339 even to a shoelatchetH5275+H8288, and that I will notH518 takeH3947 any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest sayH559, I have madeH6238 AbramH87 richH6238:
SaveH1107 only that whichH834 the young menH5288 have eatenH398, and the portionH2506 of the menH582 which wentH1980 withH854 me, AnerH6063, EshcolH812, and MamreH4471; let themH1992 takeH3947 their portionH2506.

Wherefore the wellH875 was calledH7121 BeerlahairoiH883+H2416; behold, it is between KadeshH6946 and BeredH1260. {Beerlahairoi: that is, The well of him that liveth and seeth me}
And TimnaH8555 was concubineH6370 to EliphazH464 Esau'sH6215 sonH1121; and she bareH3205 to EliphazH464 AmalekH6002: these were the sonsH1121 of AdahH5711 Esau'sH6215 wifeH802.
And NibshanH5044, and the city of SaltH5898, and EngediH5872; sixH8337 citiesH5892 with their villagesH2691.
And AbrahamH85 journeyedH5265 from thence toward the southH5045 countryH776, and dwelledH3427 between KadeshH6946 and ShurH7793, and sojournedH1481 in GerarH1642.
DukeH441 KorahH7141, dukeH441 GatamH1609, and dukeH441 AmalekH6002: these are the dukesH441 that came of EliphazH464 in the landH776 of EdomH123; these were the sonsH1121 of AdahH5711.
Then there cameH935 some that toldH5046 JehoshaphatH3092, sayingH559, There comethH935 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995 against thee from beyondH5676 the seaH3220 on this side SyriaH758; and, behold, they be in HazazontamarH2688, which is EngediH5872.
Then cameH935 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, even the whole congregationH5712, into the desertH4057 of ZinH6790 in the firstH7223 monthH2320: and the peopleH5971 abodeH3427 in KadeshH6946; and MiriamH4813 diedH4191 there, and was buriedH6912 there.
Then cameH935 AmalekH6002, and foughtH3898 with IsraelH3478 in RephidimH7508.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, Choose us outH977 menH582, and go outH3318, fightH3898 with AmalekH6002: to morrowH4279 I will standH5324 on the topH7218 of the hillH1389 with the rodH4294 of GodH430 in mine handH3027. {Joshua: called Jesus}
So JoshuaH3091 didH6213 as MosesH4872 had saidH559 to him, and foughtH3898 with AmalekH6002: and MosesH4872, AaronH175, and HurH2354 went upH5927 to the topH7218 of the hillH1389.
And it came to pass, when MosesH4872 held upH7311 his handH3027, that IsraelH3478 prevailedH1396: and when he let downH5117 his handH3027, AmalekH6002 prevailedH1396.
But Moses'H4872 handsH3027 were heavyH3515; and they tookH3947 a stoneH68, and putH7760 it under him, and he satH3427 thereon; and AaronH175 and HurH2354 stayed upH8551 his handsH3027, the one on the one sideH259, and the other on the other sideH259; and his handsH3027 were steadyH530 until the going downH935 of the sunH8121.
And JoshuaH3091 discomfitedH2522 AmalekH6002 and his peopleH5971 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, WriteH3789 this for a memorialH2146 in a bookH5612, and rehearseH7760 it in the earsH241 of JoshuaH3091: for I will utterlyH4229 put outH4229 the remembranceH2143 of AmalekH6002 from under heavenH8064.
And MosesH4872 builtH1129 an altarH4196, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it JehovahnissiH3071: {Jehovahnissi: that is, The LORD my banner}
For he saidH559, Because the LORDH3050 hath swornH3027+H3676 that the LORDH3068 will have warH4421 with AmalekH6002 from generationH1755 to generationH1755. {Because…: or, Because the hand of Amalek is against the throne of the LORD, therefore, etc} {the LORD hath…: Heb. the hand upon the throne of the LORD}
And when we departedH5265 from HorebH2722, we went throughH3212 all that greatH1419 and terribleH3372 wildernessH4057, which ye sawH7200 by the wayH1870 of the mountainH2022 of the AmoritesH567, as the LORDH3068 our GodH430 commandedH6680 us; and we cameH935 to KadeshbarneaH6947.
For the AmalekitesH6003 and the CanaanitesH3669 are there beforeH6440 you, and ye shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719: because ye are turnedH7725 awayH310 from the LORDH3068, therefore the LORDH3068 will not be with you.
So ye abodeH3427 in KadeshH6946 manyH7227 daysH3117, according unto the daysH3117 that ye abodeH3427 there.
Then the AmalekitesH6003 came downH3381, and the CanaanitesH3669 which dweltH3427 in that hillH2022, and smoteH5221 them, and discomfitedH3807 them, even unto HormahH2767.
And when he lookedH7200 on AmalekH6002, he took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, AmalekH6002 was the firstH7225 of the nationsH1471; but his latterH319 end shall be that he perishH8 for everH5703. {the nations: the nations that warred against Israel} {that…: or, even to destruction}
SamuelH8050 also saidH559 unto SaulH7586, The LORDH3068 sentH7971 me to anointH4886 thee to be kingH4428 over his peopleH5971, over IsraelH3478: now therefore hearkenH8085 thou unto the voiceH6963 of the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I rememberH6485 that which AmalekH6002 didH6213 to IsraelH3478, how he laidH7760 wait for him in the wayH1870, when he came upH5927 from EgyptH4714.
Now goH3212 and smiteH5221 AmalekH6002, and utterly destroyH2763 all that they have, and spareH2550 them not; but slayH4191 both manH376 and womanH802, infantH5768 and sucklingH3243, oxH7794 and sheepH7716, camelH1581 and assH2543.
And SaulH7586 gatheredH8085 the peopleH5971 togetherH8085, and numberedH6485 them in TelaimH2923, two hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmenH7273, and tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 of JudahH3063.
And SaulH7586 cameH935 to a cityH5892 of AmalekH6002, and laid waitH7378+H693 in the valleyH5158. {laid…: or, fought}
And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto the KenitesH7017, GoH3212, departH5493, get you downH3381 from amongH8432 the AmalekitesH6002, lest I destroyH622 you with them: for ye shewedH6213 kindnessH2617 to all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, when they came upH5927 out of EgyptH4714. So the KenitesH7017 departedH5493 from amongH8432 the AmalekitesH6003.
And SaulH7586 smoteH5221 the AmalekitesH6002 from HavilahH2341 until thou comestH935 to ShurH7793, that is over againstH6440 EgyptH4714.
And he tookH8610 AgagH90 the kingH4428 of the AmalekitesH6002 aliveH2416, and utterly destroyedH2763 all the peopleH5971 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.
But SaulH7586 and the peopleH5971 sparedH2550 AgagH90, and the bestH4315 of the sheepH6629, and of the oxenH1241, and of the fatlingsH4932, and the lambsH3733, and all that was goodH2896, and wouldH14 not utterly destroyH2763 them: but every thingH4399 that was vileH5240 and refuseH4549, that they destroyed utterlyH2763. {fatlings: or, second sort}
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto SamuelH8050, sayingH559,
It repentethH5162 me that I have set upH4427 SaulH7586 to be kingH4428: for he is turned backH7725 from followingH310 me, and hath not performedH6965 my commandmentsH1697. And it grievedH2734 SamuelH8050; and he criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068 all nightH3915.
And when SamuelH8050 rose earlyH7925 to meetH7125 SaulH7586 in the morningH1242, it was toldH5046 SamuelH8050, sayingH559, SaulH7586 cameH935 to CarmelH3760, and, behold, he set him upH5324 a placeH3027, and is gone aboutH5437, and passed onH5674, and gone downH3381 to GilgalH1537.
And SamuelH8050 cameH935 to SaulH7586: and SaulH7586 saidH559 unto him, BlessedH1288 be thou of the LORDH3068: I have performedH6965 the commandmentH1697 of the LORDH3068.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559, What meaneth then this bleatingH6963 of the sheepH6629 in mine earsH241, and the lowingH6963 of the oxenH1241 which I hearH8085?
And SaulH7586 saidH559, They have broughtH935 them from the AmalekitesH6003: for the peopleH5971 sparedH2550 the bestH4315 of the sheepH6629 and of the oxenH1241, to sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; and the restH3498 we have utterly destroyedH2763.
Then SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, StayH7503, and I will tellH5046 thee what the LORDH3068 hath saidH1696 to me this nightH3915. And he saidH559 unto him, Say onH1696.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559, When thou wast littleH6996 in thine own sightH5869, wast thou not made the headH7218 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and the LORDH3068 anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478?
And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 thee on a journeyH1870, and saidH559, GoH3212 and utterly destroyH2763 the sinnersH2400 the AmalekitesH6002, and fightH3898 against them until they be consumedH3615. {they…: Heb. they consume them}
Wherefore then didst thou not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, but didst flyH5860 upon the spoilH7998, and didstH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068?
And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, Yea, I have obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, and have goneH3212 the wayH1870 which the LORDH3068 sentH7971 me, and have broughtH935 AgagH90 the kingH4428 of AmalekH6002, and have utterly destroyedH2763 the AmalekitesH6002.
But the peopleH5971 tookH3947 of the spoilH7998, sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, the chiefH7225 of the things which should have been utterly destroyedH2764, to sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in GilgalH1537.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559, Hath the LORDH3068 as great delightH2656 in burnt offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077, as in obeyingH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068? Behold, to obeyH8085 is betterH2896 than sacrificeH2077, and to hearkenH7181 than the fatH2459 of ramsH352.
For rebellionH4805 is as the sinH2403 of witchcraftH7081, and stubbornnessH6484 is as iniquityH205 and idolatryH8655. Because thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, he hath also rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428. {witchcraft: Heb. divination}
And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, I have sinnedH2398: for I have transgressedH5674 the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068, and thy wordsH1697: because I fearedH3372 the peopleH5971, and obeyedH8085 their voiceH6963.
Now therefore, I pray thee, pardonH5375 my sinH2403, and turn againH7725 with me, that I may worshipH7812 the LORDH3068.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I will not returnH7725 with thee: for thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
And as SamuelH8050 turned aboutH5437 to go awayH3212, he laid holdH2388 upon the skirtH3671 of his mantleH4598, and it rentH7167.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto him, The LORDH3068 hath rentH7167 the kingdomH4468 of IsraelH3478 from thee this dayH3117, and hath givenH5414 it to a neighbourH7453 of thine, that is betterH2896 than thou.
And also the StrengthH5331 of IsraelH3478 will not lieH8266 nor repentH5162: for he is not a manH120, that he should repentH5162. {Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory}
Then he saidH559, I have sinnedH2398: yet honourH3513 me now, I pray thee, before the eldersH2205 of my peopleH5971, and before IsraelH3478, and turn againH7725 with me, that I may worshipH7812 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
So SamuelH8050 turned againH7725 afterH310 SaulH7586; and SaulH7586 worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068.
Then saidH559 SamuelH8050, Bring ye hitherH5066 to me AgagH90 the kingH4428 of the AmalekitesH6002. And AgagH90 cameH3212 unto him delicatelyH4574. And AgagH90 saidH559, SurelyH403 the bitternessH4751 of deathH4194 is pastH5493.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559, As thy swordH2719 hath made womenH802 childlessH7921, so shall thy motherH517 be childlessH7921 among womenH802. And SamuelH8050 hewedH8158 AgagH90 in piecesH8158 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 in GilgalH1537.
Then SamuelH8050 wentH3212 to RamahH7414; and SaulH7586 went upH5927 to his houseH1004 to GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586.
And SamuelH8050 came no moreH3254 to seeH7200 SaulH7586 until the dayH3117 of his deathH4194: neverthelessH3588 SamuelH8050 mournedH56 for SaulH7586: and the LORDH3068 repentedH5162 that he had made SaulH7586 kingH4427 over IsraelH3478.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 in his heartH3820, I shall now perishH5595 oneH259 dayH3117 by the handH3027 of SaulH7586: there is nothing betterH2896 for me than thatH3588 I should speedilyH4422 escapeH4422 into the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430; and SaulH7586 shall despairH2976 of me, to seekH1245 me any more in any coastH1366 of IsraelH3478: so shall I escapeH4422 out of his handH3027. {perish: Heb. be consumed}
And DavidH1732 aroseH6965, and he passed overH5674 with the sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 that were with him unto AchishH397, the sonH1121 of MaochH4582, kingH4428 of GathH1661.
And DavidH1732 dweltH3427 with AchishH397 at GathH1661, he and his menH582, every manH376 with his householdH1004, even DavidH1732 with his twoH8147 wivesH802, AhinoamH293 the JezreelitessH3159, and AbigailH26 the CarmelitessH3762, Nabal'sH5037 wifeH802.
And it was toldH5046 SaulH7586 that DavidH1732 was fledH1272 to GathH1661: and he soughtH1245 no more againH3254+H3254 for him.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto AchishH397, If I have now foundH4672 graceH2580 in thine eyesH5869, let them giveH5414 me a placeH4725 in someH259 townH5892 in the countryH7704, that I may dwellH3427 there: for why should thy servantH5650 dwellH3427 in the royalH4467 cityH5892 with thee?
Then AchishH397 gaveH5414 him ZiklagH6860 that dayH3117: wherefore ZiklagH6860 pertaineth unto the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 unto this dayH3117.
And the timeH4557+H3117 that DavidH1732 dweltH3427 in the countryH7704 of the PhilistinesH6430 was a full yearH3117 and fourH702 monthsH2320. {the time: Heb. the number of days} {a full year: Heb. a year of days}
And DavidH1732 and his menH582 went upH5927, and invadedH6584 the GeshuritesH1651, and the GezritesH1511, and the AmalekitesH6003: for thoseH2007 nations were of oldH5769 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, as thou goestH935 to ShurH7793, even unto the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {Gezrites: or, Gerzites}
And DavidH1732 smoteH5221 the landH776, and left neither manH376 nor womanH802 aliveH2421, and took awayH3947 the sheepH6629, and the oxenH1241, and the assesH2543, and the camelsH1581, and the apparelH899, and returnedH7725, and cameH935 to AchishH397.
And AchishH397 saidH559, WhitherH408 have ye made a roadH6584 to dayH3117? And DavidH1732 saidH559, Against the southH5045 of JudahH3063, and against the southH5045 of the JerahmeelitesH3397, and against the southH5045 of the KenitesH7017. {Whither…: or, Did you not make a road, etc}
And DavidH1732 savedH2421 neither manH376 nor womanH802 aliveH2421, to bringH935 tidings to GathH1661, sayingH559, Lest they should tellH5046 on us, sayingH559, So didH6213 DavidH1732, and so will be his mannerH4941 all the whileH3117 he dwellethH3427 in the countryH7704 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And AchishH397 believedH539 DavidH1732, sayingH559, He hath made his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 utterlyH887 to abhorH887 him; therefore he shall be my servantH5650 for everH5769. {utterly…: Heb. to stink}
And it came to pass, when DavidH1732 and his menH582 were comeH935 to ZiklagH6860 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, that the AmalekitesH6003 had invadedH6584 the southH5045, and ZiklagH6860, and smittenH5221 ZiklagH6860, and burnedH8313 it with fireH784;
And had taken the womenH802 captivesH7617, that were therein: they slewH4191 not anyH376, either greatH1419 or smallH6996, but carried them awayH5090, and wentH3212 on their wayH1870.
So DavidH1732 and his menH582 cameH935 to the cityH5892, and, behold, it was burnedH8313 with fireH784; and their wivesH802, and their sonsH1121, and their daughtersH1323, were taken captivesH7617.
Then DavidH1732 and the peopleH5971 that were with him lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963 and weptH1058, until they had no more powerH3581 to weepH1058.
And David'sH1732 twoH8147 wivesH802 were taken captivesH7617, AhinoamH293 the JezreelitessH3159, and AbigailH26 the wifeH802 of NabalH5037 the CarmeliteH3761.
And DavidH1732 was greatlyH3966 distressedH3334; for the peopleH5971 spakeH559 of stoningH5619 him, because the soulH5315 of all the peopleH5971 was grievedH4843, every manH376 for his sonsH1121 and for his daughtersH1323: but DavidH1732 encouragedH2388 himself in the LORDH3068 his GodH430. {grieved: Heb. bitter}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, Ahimelech'sH288 sonH1121, I pray thee, bring me hitherH5066 the ephodH646. And AbiatharH54 broughtH5066 thither the ephodH646 to DavidH1732.
And DavidH1732 enquiredH7592 at the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Shall I pursueH7291 afterH310 this troopH1416? shall I overtakeH5381 them? And he answeredH559 him, PursueH7291: for thou shalt surelyH5381 overtakeH5381 them, and without failH5337 recoverH5337 all.
So DavidH1732 wentH3212, he and the sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 that were with him, and cameH935 to the brookH5158 BesorH1308, where those that were left behindH3498 stayedH5975.
But DavidH1732 pursuedH7291, he and fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376: for two hundredH3967 abode behindH5975, which were so faintH6296 that they could not go overH5674 the brookH5158 BesorH1308.
And they foundH4672 an EgyptianH376+H4713 in the fieldH7704, and broughtH3947 him to DavidH1732, and gaveH5414 him breadH3899, and he did eatH398; and they made him drinkH8248 waterH4325;
And they gaveH5414 him a pieceH6400 of a cakeH1690 of figs, and twoH8147 clusters of raisinsH6778: and when he had eatenH398, his spiritH7307 came againH7725 to him: for he had eatenH398 no breadH3899, nor drunkH8354 any waterH4325, threeH7969 daysH3117 and threeH7969 nightsH3915.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he saidH559, I am a young manH5288 of EgyptH4713, servantH5650 to an AmalekiteH376+H6003; and my masterH113 leftH5800 me, because threeH7969 daysH3117 agone I fell sickH2470.
We made an invasionH6584 upon the southH5045 of the CherethitesH3774, and upon the coast which belongeth to JudahH3063, and upon the southH5045 of CalebH3612; and we burnedH8313 ZiklagH6860 with fireH784.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, Canst thou bring me downH3381 to this companyH1416? And he saidH559, SwearH7650 unto me by GodH430, that thou wilt neither killH4191 me, norH518 deliverH5462 me into the handsH3027 of my masterH113, and I will bring thee downH3381 to this companyH1416.
And when he had brought him downH3381, behold, they were spread abroadH5203 upon allH6440 the earthH776, eatingH398 and drinkingH8354, and dancingH2287, because of all the greatH1419 spoilH7998 that they had takenH3947 out of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and out of the landH776 of JudahH3063.
And DavidH1732 smoteH5221 them from the twilightH5399 even unto the eveningH6153 of the next dayH4283: and there escapedH4422 not a manH376 of them, save fourH702 hundredH3967 youngH5288 menH376, which rodeH7392 upon camelsH1581, and fledH5127. {the next…: Heb. their morrow}
And DavidH1732 recoveredH5337 all that the AmalekitesH6002 had carried awayH3947: and DavidH1732 rescuedH5337 his twoH8147 wivesH802.
And there was nothing lackingH5737 to them, neitherH4480 smallH6996 nor greatH1419, neither sonsH1121 nor daughtersH1323, neither spoilH7998, nor any thing that they had takenH3947 to them: DavidH1732 recoveredH7725 all.
And DavidH1732 tookH3947 all the flocksH6629 and the herdsH1241, which they draveH5090 beforeH6440 thoseH1931 other cattleH4735, and saidH559, This is David'sH1732 spoilH7998.
And DavidH1732 cameH935 to the two hundredH3967 menH582, which were so faintH6296 that they could not followH3212+H310 DavidH1732, whom they had made also to abideH3427 at the brookH5158 BesorH1308: and they went forthH3318 to meetH7125 DavidH1732, and to meetH7125 the peopleH5971 that were with him: and when DavidH1732 came nearH5066 to the peopleH5971, he salutedH7592+H7965 them. {saluted…: or, asked them how they did}
Then answeredH6030 all the wickedH7451 menH376 and men of BelialH1100, of thoseH582 that wentH1980 with DavidH1732, and saidH559, Because they wentH1980 not with us, we will not giveH5414 them ought of the spoilH7998 that we have recoveredH5337, save to every manH376 his wifeH802 and his childrenH1121, that they may lead them awayH5090, and departH3212. {those: Heb. men}
Then saidH559 DavidH1732, Ye shall not do soH6213, my brethrenH251, with that which the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 us, who hath preservedH8104 us, and deliveredH5414 the companyH1416 that cameH935 against us into our handH3027.
For who will hearkenH8085 unto you in this matterH1697? but as his partH2506 is that goeth downH3381+H3381 to the battleH4421, so shall his partH2506 be that tarriethH3427 by the stuffH3627: they shall partH2505 alikeH3162.
And it was so from that dayH3117 forwardH4605, that he madeH7760 it a statuteH2706 and an ordinanceH4941 for IsraelH3478 unto this dayH3117. {forward: Heb. and forward}
And when DavidH1732 cameH935 to ZiklagH6860, he sentH7971 of the spoilH7998 unto the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063, even to his friendsH7453, sayingH559, Behold a presentH1293 for you of the spoilH7998 of the enemiesH341 of the LORDH3068; {present: Heb. blessing}
To themH834 which were in BethelH1008, and to them which were in southH5045 RamothH7418, and to them which were in JattirH3492,
And to them which were in AroerH6177, and to them which were in SiphmothH8224, and to them which were in EshtemoaH851,
And to them which were in RachalH7403, and to them which were in the citiesH5892 of the JerahmeelitesH3397, and to them which were in the citiesH5892 of the KenitesH7017,
And to them which were in HormahH2767, and to them which were in ChorashanH3565, and to them which were in AthachH6269,
And to them which were in HebronH2275, and to all the placesH4725 where DavidH1732 himself and his menH582 were wont to hauntH1980.
