And the ZiphitesH2130 cameH935 unto SaulH7586 to GibeahH1390, sayingH559, Doth not DavidH1732 hideH5641 himself in the hillH1389 of HachilahH2444, which is beforeH6440 JeshimonH3452?
Then SaulH7586 aroseH6965, and went downH3381 to the wildernessH4057 of ZiphH2128, having threeH7969 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376 of IsraelH3478 with him, to seekH1245 DavidH1732 in the wildernessH4057 of ZiphH2128.
And SaulH7586 pitchedH2583 in the hillH1389 of HachilahH2444, which is beforeH6440 JeshimonH3452, by the wayH1870. But DavidH1732 abodeH3427 in the wildernessH4057, and he sawH7200 that SaulH7586 cameH935 afterH310 him into the wildernessH4057.
DavidH1732 therefore sent outH7971 spiesH7270, and understoodH3045 that SaulH7586 was comeH935 in very deedH3559.
And DavidH1732 aroseH6965, and cameH935 to the placeH4725 where SaulH7586 had pitchedH2583: and DavidH1732 beheldH7200 the placeH4725 where SaulH7586 layH7901, and AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, the captainH8269 of his hostH6635: and SaulH7586 layH7901 in the trenchH4570, and the peopleH5971 pitchedH2583 round aboutH5439 him. {trench: or, midst of his carriages}
Then answeredH6030 DavidH1732 and saidH559 to AhimelechH288 the HittiteH2850, and to AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, brotherH251 to JoabH3097, sayingH559, Who will go downH3381 with me to SaulH7586 to the campH4264? And AbishaiH52 saidH559, I will go downH3381 with thee.
So DavidH1732 and AbishaiH52 cameH935 to the peopleH5971 by nightH3915: and, behold, SaulH7586 layH7901 sleepingH3463 within the trenchH4570, and his spearH2595 stuckH4600 in the groundH776 at his bolsterH4763: but AbnerH74 and the peopleH5971 layH7901 round aboutH5439 him.
Then saidH559 AbishaiH52 to DavidH1732, GodH430 hath deliveredH5462 thine enemyH341 into thine handH3027 this dayH3117: now therefore let me smiteH5221 him, I pray thee, with the spearH2595 even to the earthH776 at onceH6471+H259, and I will not smite him the second timeH8138. {delivered: Heb. shut up}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52, DestroyH7843 him not: for who can stretch forthH7971 his handH3027 against the LORD'SH3068 anointedH4899, and be guiltlessH5352?
DavidH1732 saidH559 furthermore, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, the LORDH3068 shall smiteH5062 him; or his dayH3117 shall comeH935 to dieH4191; or he shall descendH3381 into battleH4421, and perishH5595.
The LORDH3068 forbidH2486 that I should stretch forthH7971 mine handH3027 against the LORD'SH3068 anointedH4899: but, I pray thee, takeH3947 thou now the spearH2595 that is at his bolsterH4763, and the cruseH6835 of waterH4325, and let us goH3212.
So DavidH1732 tookH3947 the spearH2595 and the cruseH6835 of waterH4325 from Saul'sH7586 bolsterH7226; and they gat them awayH3212, and no man sawH7200 it, nor knewH3045 it, neither awakedH6974: for they were all asleepH3463; because a deep sleepH8639 from the LORDH3068 was fallenH5307 upon them.
Then DavidH1732 went overH5674 to the other sideH5676, and stoodH5975 on the topH7218 of an hillH2022 afar offH7350; a greatH7227 spaceH4725 being between them:
And DavidH1732 criedH7121 to the peopleH5971, and to AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, sayingH559, AnswerestH6030 thou not, AbnerH74? Then AbnerH74 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Who art thou that criestH7121 to the kingH4428?
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbnerH74, Art not thou a valiant manH376? and who is like to thee in IsraelH3478? wherefore then hast thou not keptH8104 thy lordH113 the kingH4428? for there cameH935 oneH259 of the peopleH5971 in to destroyH7843 the kingH4428 thy lordH113.
This thingH1697 is not goodH2896 that thou hast doneH6213. As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, ye are worthyH1121 to dieH4194, because ye have not keptH8104 your masterH113, the LORD'SH3068 anointedH4899. And now seeH7200 where the king'sH4428 spearH2595 is, and the cruseH6835 of waterH4325 that was at his bolsterH4763. {worthy to die: Heb. the sons of death}
And SaulH7586 knewH5234 David'sH1732 voiceH6963, and saidH559, Is this thy voiceH6963, my sonH1121 DavidH1732? And DavidH1732 saidH559, It is my voiceH6963, my lordH113, O kingH4428.
And he saidH559, Wherefore doth my lordH113 thus pursueH7291 afterH310 his servantH5650? for what have I doneH6213? or what evilH7451 is in mine handH3027?
Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lordH113 the kingH4428 hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of his servantH5650. If the LORDH3068 have stirred thee upH5496 against me, let him acceptH7306 an offeringH4503: but if they be the childrenH1121 of menH120, cursedH779 be they beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; for they have drivenH1644 me out this dayH3117 from abidingH5596 in the inheritanceH5159 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, GoH3212, serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430. {accept: Heb. smell} {abiding: Heb. cleaving}
Now therefore, let not my bloodH1818 fallH5307 to the earthH776 before the faceH6440 of the LORDH3068: for the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 is come outH3318 to seekH1245 aH259 fleaH6550, as when one doth huntH7291 a partridgeH7124 in the mountainsH2022.
Then saidH559 SaulH7586, I have sinnedH2398: returnH7725, my sonH1121 DavidH1732: for I will no more do thee harmH7489, because my soulH5315 was preciousH3365 in thine eyesH5869 this dayH3117: behold, I have played the foolH5528, and have erredH7686 exceedinglyH7235+H3966.
And DavidH1732 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Behold the king'sH4428 spearH2595! and let oneH259 of the young menH5288 come overH5674 and fetchH3947 it.
The LORDH3068 renderH7725 to every manH376 his righteousnessH6666 and his faithfulnessH530: for the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 thee into my handH3027 to dayH3117, but I wouldH14 not stretch forthH7971 mine handH3027 against the LORD'SH3068 anointedH4899.
And, behold, as thy lifeH5315 was much set byH1431 this dayH3117 in mine eyesH5869, so let my lifeH5315 be much set byH1431 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, and let him deliverH5337 me out of all tribulationH6869.
Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, BlessedH1288 be thou, my sonH1121 DavidH1732: thou shalt both doH6213 greatH6213 things, and also shalt stillH3201 prevailH3201. So DavidH1732 wentH3212 on his wayH1870, and SaulH7586 returnedH7725 to his placeH4725.

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.

Then the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 went forthH3318: and it came to pass, afterH1767 they went forthH3318, that DavidH1732 behaved himself more wiselyH7919 than all the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586; so that his nameH8034 was muchH3966 set byH3365. {set by: Heb. precious}
