And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that the evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 cameH6743 upon SaulH7586, and he prophesiedH5012 in the midstH8432 of the houseH1004: and DavidH1732 playedH5059 with his handH3027, as at other timesH3117: and there was a javelinH2595 in Saul'sH7586 handH3027.
And it came to pass, when he had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 unto SaulH7586, that the soulH5315 of JonathanH3083 was knitH7194 with the soulH5315 of DavidH1732, and JonathanH3083 lovedH157 him as his own soulH5315.
And JonathanH3083 strippedH6584 himself of the robeH4598 that was upon him, and gaveH5414 it to DavidH1732, and his garmentsH4055, even to his swordH2719, and to his bowH7198, and to his girdleH2289.
ButG235 what thingsG3748 wereG2258 gainG2771 to meG3427, thoseG5023 I countedG2233 lossG2209 forG1223 ChristG5547.
YeaG235 doubtlessG3304, andG2532 I countG2233 all thingsG3956 but lossG2209 forG1511+G1223 the excellencyG5242 of the knowledgeG1108 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424 myG3450 LordG2962: forG1223 whomG3739 I have suffered the lossG2210 of all thingsG3956, andG2532 do countG2233 themG1511 but dungG4657, thatG2443 I may winG2770 ChristG5547,
ForG1063 the loveG26 of ChristG5547 constrainethG4912 usG2248; because we thusG5124 judgeG2919, thatG3754 ifG1487 oneG1520 diedG599 forG5228 allG3956, thenG686 wereG599 allG3956 deadG599:
ButG235 what thingsG3748 wereG2258 gainG2771 to meG3427, thoseG5023 I countedG2233 lossG2209 forG1223 ChristG5547.
YeaG235 doubtlessG3304, andG2532 I countG2233 all thingsG3956 but lossG2209 forG1511+G1223 the excellencyG5242 of the knowledgeG1108 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424 myG3450 LordG2962: forG1223 whomG3739 I have suffered the lossG2210 of all thingsG3956, andG2532 do countG2233 themG1511 but dungG4657, thatG2443 I may winG2770 ChristG5547,
The fourG5064 andG2532 twentyG1501 eldersG4245 fall downG4098 beforeG1799 him that satG2521 onG1909 the throneG2362, andG2532 worshipG4352 him that livethG2198 forG1519 everG165 and everG165, andG2532 castG906 theirG846 crownsG4735 beforeG1799 the throneG2362, sayingG3004,
Thou artG1488 worthyG514, O LordG2962, to receiveG2983 gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092 andG2532 powerG1411: forG3754 thouG4771 hast createdG2936 all thingsG3956, andG2532 forG1223 thyG4675 pleasureG2307 they areG1526 andG2532 were createdG2936.
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.
And SaulH7586 spakeH1696 to JonathanH3129 his sonH1121, and to all his servantsH5650, that they should killH4191 DavidH1732.
And SaulH7586 spakeH1696 to JonathanH3129 his sonH1121, and to all his servantsH5650, that they should killH4191 DavidH1732.
WhosoeverG3739+G302 thereforeG1063 shall be ashamedG1870 of meG3165 andG2532 of myG1699 wordsG3056 inG1722 thisG5026 adulterousG3428 andG2532 sinfulG268 generationG1074; of himG846 alsoG2532 shallG1870 the SonG5207 of manG444 be ashamedG1870, whenG3752 he comethG2064 inG1722 the gloryG1391 of hisG846 FatherG3962 withG3326 the holyG40 angelsG32.
We are confidentG2292, I say, andG1161+G2532 willingG2106 ratherG3123 to be absentG1553 fromG1537 the bodyG4983, andG2532 to be presentG1736 withG4314 the LordG2962.
And DavidH1732 fledH1272 from NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414, and cameH935 and saidH559 beforeH6440 JonathanH3083, What have I doneH6213? what is mine iniquityH5771? and what is my sinH2403 beforeH6440 thy fatherH1, that he seekethH1245 my lifeH5315?
And he saidH559 unto him, God forbidH2486; thou shalt not dieH4191: behold, my fatherH1 will doH6213+H6213 nothingH1697 either greatH1419 or smallH6996, but that he will shewH1540+H241 it me: and why should my fatherH1 hideH5641 this thingH1697 from me? it is not so. {shew…: Heb. uncover mine ear}
And DavidH1732 swareH7650 moreover, and saidH559, Thy fatherH1 certainlyH3045 knowethH3045 that I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thine eyesH5869; and he saithH559, Let not JonathanH3083 knowH3045 this, lest he be grievedH6087: but trulyH199 as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, there is but a stepH6587 between me and deathH4194.
Then saidH559 JonathanH3083 unto DavidH1732, Whatsoever thy soulH5315 desirethH559, I will even doH6213 it for thee. {Whatsoever…: or, Say what is thy mind and I will do, etc} {desireth: Heb. speaketh, or, thinketh}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto JonathanH3083, Behold, to morrowH4279 is the new moonH2320, and I should not failH3427 to sitH3427 with the kingH4428 at meatH398: but let me goH7971, that I may hideH5641 myself in the fieldH7704 unto the thirdH7992 day at evenH6153.
If thy fatherH1 at allH6485 missH6485 me, then sayH559, DavidH1732 earnestlyH7592 askedH7592 leave of me that he might runH7323 to BethlehemH1035 his cityH5892: for there is a yearlyH3117 sacrificeH2077 there for all the familyH4940. {sacrifice: or, feast}
If he sayH559 thus, It is wellH2896; thy servantH5650 shall have peaceH7965: but if he be veryH2734 wrothH2734, then be sureH3045 that evilH7451 is determinedH3615 by him.
Therefore thou shalt dealH6213 kindlyH2617 with thy servantH5650; for thou hast broughtH935 thy servantH5650 into a covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 with thee: notwithstanding, if there beH3426 in me iniquityH5771, slayH4191 me thyself; for why shouldest thou bringH935 me to thy fatherH1?
And JonathanH3083 saidH559, Far be it from theeH2486: for if I knewH3045 certainlyH3045 that evilH7451 were determinedH3615 by my fatherH1 to comeH935 upon thee, then would not I tellH5046 it thee?
Then saidH559 DavidH1732 to JonathanH3083, Who shall tellH5046 me? or what if thy fatherH1 answerH6030 thee roughlyH7186?
And JonathanH3083 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, ComeH3212, and let us go outH3318 into the fieldH7704. And they went outH3318 bothH8147 of them into the fieldH7704.
And JonathanH3083 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, when I have soundedH2713 my fatherH1 about to morrowH4279 any timeH6256, or the thirdH7992 day, and, behold, if there be goodH2895 toward DavidH1732, and I then sendH7971 not unto thee, and shewH1540+H241 it thee; {sounded: Heb. searched} {shew…: Heb. uncover thine ear}
The LORDH3068 doH6213 soH3541 and much moreH3254 to JonathanH3083: but if it pleaseH3190 my fatherH1 to do thee evilH7451, then I will shewH1540+H241 it thee, and send thee awayH7971, that thou mayest goH1980 in peaceH7965: and the LORDH3068 be with thee, as he hath been with my fatherH1. {shew…: Heb. uncover thine ear}
And thou shalt not only while yetH518 I liveH2416 shewH6213 me the kindnessH2617 of the LORDH3068, that I dieH4191 not:
But also thou shalt not cut offH3772 thy kindnessH2617 from my houseH1004 forH5704 everH5769: no, not when the LORDH3068 hath cut offH3772 the enemiesH341 of DavidH1732 every oneH376 from the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
So JonathanH3083 madeH3772 a covenant with the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, saying, Let the LORDH3068 even requireH1245 it at the handH3027 of David'sH1732 enemiesH341. {made: Heb. cut}
And JonathanH3083 caused DavidH1732 to swearH7650 againH3254, because he lovedH160 him: for he lovedH157 him as he lovedH160 his own soulH5315. {because…: or, by his love toward him}
Then JonathanH3083 saidH559 to DavidH1732, To morrowH4279 is the new moonH2320: and thou shalt be missedH6485, because thy seatH4186 will be emptyH6485. {empty: Heb. missed}
And when thou hast stayed three daysH8027, then thou shalt go downH3381 quicklyH3966, and comeH935 to the placeH4725 where thou didst hideH5641 thyself whenH3117 the businessH4639 was in hand, and shalt remainH3427 byH681 the stoneH68 EzelH237. {quickly: or, diligently: Heb. greatly} {when the…: Heb. in the day of the business} {Ezel: or, that sheweth the way}
And I will shootH3384 threeH7969 arrowsH2671 on the sideH6654 thereof, as though I shotH7971 at a markH4307.
And, behold, I will sendH7971 a ladH5288, saying, GoH3212, find outH4672 the arrowsH2671. If I expresslyH559 sayH559 unto the ladH5288, Behold, the arrowsH2671 are on this side of thee, takeH3947 them; then comeH935 thou: for there is peaceH7965 to thee, and no hurtH1697; as the LORDH3068 livethH2416. {no hurt: Heb. not any thing}
But if I sayH559 thus unto the young manH5958, Behold, the arrowsH2671 are beyondH1973 thee; go thy wayH3212: for the LORDH3068 hath sent thee awayH7971.
And as touching the matterH1697 which thou and I have spokenH1696 of, behold, the LORDH3068 be between thee and me forH5704 everH5769.
So DavidH1732 hidH5641 himself in the fieldH7704: and when the new moonH2320 was come, the kingH4428 sat him downH3427 to eatH398 meatH3899.
And the kingH4428 satH3427 upon his seatH4186, as at other timesH6471, even upon a seatH4186 by the wallH7023: and JonathanH3083 aroseH6965, and AbnerH74 satH3427 by Saul'sH7586 sideH6654, and David'sH1732 placeH4725 was emptyH6485.
Nevertheless SaulH7586 spakeH1696 not any thingH3972 that dayH3117: for he thoughtH559, Something hath befallenH4745 him, he is notH1115 cleanH2889; surely he is not cleanH2889.
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, which was the secondH8145 day of the monthH2320, that David'sH1732 placeH4725 was emptyH6485: and SaulH7586 saidH559 unto JonathanH3083 his sonH1121, Wherefore comethH935 not the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 to meatH3899, neither yesterdayH8543, nor to dayH3117?
And JonathanH3083 answeredH6030 SaulH7586, DavidH1732 earnestlyH7592 askedH7592 leave of meH5978 to go to BethlehemH1035:
And he saidH559, Let me goH7971, I pray thee; for our familyH4940 hath a sacrificeH2077 in the cityH5892; and my brotherH251, he hath commandedH6680 me to be there: and now, if I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in thine eyesH5869, let me get awayH4422, I pray thee, and seeH7200 my brethrenH251. Therefore he comethH935 not unto the king'sH4428 tableH7979.
Then Saul'sH7586 angerH639 was kindledH2734 against JonathanH3083, and he saidH559 unto him, Thou sonH1121 of the perverseH5753 rebelliousH4780 woman, do not I knowH3045 that thou hast chosenH977 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 to thine own confusionH1322, and unto the confusionH1322 of thy mother'sH517 nakednessH6172? {Thou…: or, Thou perverse rebel: Heb. Son of perverse rebellion}
For as long asH3117 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 livethH2425 upon the groundH127, thou shalt not be establishedH3559, nor thy kingdomH4438. Wherefore now sendH7971 and fetchH3947 him unto me, for he shall surely dieH1121+H4194. {shall…: Heb. is the son of death}
And JonathanH3083 answeredH6030 SaulH7586 his fatherH1, and saidH559 unto him, Wherefore shall he be slainH4191? what hath he doneH6213?
And SaulH7586 castH2904 a javelinH2595 at him to smiteH5221 him: whereby JonathanH3083 knewH3045 that it was determinedH3617 of his fatherH1 to slayH4191 DavidH1732.
So JonathanH3083 aroseH6965 from the tableH7979 in fierceH2750 angerH639, and did eatH398 no meatH3899 the secondH8145 dayH3117 of the monthH2320: for he was grievedH6087 for DavidH1732, because his fatherH1 had done him shameH3637.
And it came to pass in the morningH1242, that JonathanH3083 went outH3318 into the fieldH7704 at the time appointedH4150 with DavidH1732, and a littleH6996 ladH5288 with him.
And he saidH559 unto his ladH5288, RunH7323, find outH4672 now the arrowsH2671 which I shootH3384. And as the ladH5288 ranH7323, he shotH3384 an arrowH2678 beyondH5674 him. {beyond…: Heb. to pass over him}
And when the ladH5288 was comeH935 to the placeH4725 of the arrowH2678 which JonathanH3083 had shotH3384, JonathanH3083 criedH7121 afterH310 the ladH5288, and saidH559, Is not the arrowH2678 beyondH1973 thee?
And JonathanH3083 criedH7121 afterH310 the ladH5288, Make speedH4120, hasteH2363, stayH5975 not. And Jonathan'sH3083 ladH5288 gathered upH3950 the arrowsH2671+H2678, and cameH935 to his masterH113.
But the ladH5288 knewH3045 not any thingH3972: only JonathanH3083 and DavidH1732 knewH3045 the matterH1697.
And JonathanH3083 gaveH5414 his artilleryH3627 unto his ladH5288, and saidH559 unto him, GoH3212, carryH935 them to the cityH5892. {artillery: Heb. instruments} {his lad: Heb. the lad that was his}
And as soon as the ladH5288 was goneH935, DavidH1732 aroseH6965 out of a place towardH681 the southH5045, and fellH5307 on his faceH639 to the groundH776, and bowedH7812 himself threeH7969 timesH6471: and they kissedH5401 oneH376 anotherH7453, and weptH1058 oneH376 with anotherH7453, until DavidH1732 exceededH1431.
And JonathanH3083 saidH559 to DavidH1732, GoH3212 in peaceH7965, forasmuch as we have swornH7650 bothH8147 of us in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 be between me and thee, and between my seedH2233 and thy seedH2233 forH5704 everH5769. And he aroseH6965 and departedH3212: and JonathanH3083 wentH935 into the cityH5892. {forasmuch…: or, the LORD be witness of that which etc}
ButG235 asG5618 thenG5119 he that was bornG1080 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 persecutedG1377 him that was born afterG2596 the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 soG3779 it is nowG3568.
YeaG1161, andG2532 allG3956 that willG2309 liveG2198 godlyG2153 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 shall suffer persecutionG1377.
RememberG3421 the wordG3056 thatG3739 IG1473 saidG2036 unto youG5213, The servantG1401 isG2076 notG3756 greater thanG3187 hisG846 lordG2962. IfG1487 they have persecutedG1377 meG1691, they willG1377 alsoG2532 persecuteG1377 youG5209; ifG1487 they have keptG5083 myG3450 sayingG3056, they will keepG5083 yoursG5212 alsoG2532.
YeG5210 areG2075 they which have continuedG1265 withG3326 meG1700 inG1722 myG3450 temptationsG3986.
Then saidH559 JonathanH3083 unto DavidH1732, Whatsoever thy soulH5315 desirethH559, I will even doH6213 it for thee. {Whatsoever…: or, Say what is thy mind and I will do, etc} {desireth: Heb. speaketh, or, thinketh}
AndG5037 he tremblingG5141 andG2532 astonishedG2284 saidG2036, LordG2962, whatG5101 wilt thou haveG2309 meG3165 to doG4160? AndG2532 the LordG2962 said untoG4314 himG846, AriseG450, andG2532 goG1525 intoG1519 the cityG4172, andG2532 it shall be toldG2980 theeG4671 whatG5101 thouG4571 mustG1163 doG4160.
AndG1161 I saidG2036, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, LordG2962? AndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036 untoG4314 meG3165, AriseG450, and goG4198 intoG1519 DamascusG1154; and thereG2546 it shall be toldG2980 theeG4671 ofG4012 all thingsG3956 whichG3739 are appointedG5021 for theeG4671 to doG4160.
And he saidH559 unto him, FearH3372 not: for the handH3027 of SaulH7586 my fatherH1 shall not findH4672 thee; and thou shalt be kingH4427 over IsraelH3478, and I shall be nextH4932 unto thee; and that also SaulH7586 my fatherH1 knowethH3045.
DavidH1732 therefore departedH3212 thence, and escapedH4422 to the caveH4631 AdullamH5725: and when his brethrenH251 and all his father'sH1 houseH1004 heardH8085 it, they went downH3381 thither to him.
And every oneH376 that was in distressH4689, and every oneH376 that was in debtH5378, and every oneH376 that was discontentedH4751+H5315, gatheredH6908 themselves unto him; and he became a captainH8269 over them: and there were with him about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376. {was in debt: Heb. had a creditor} {discontented: Heb. bitter of soul}
And JonathanH3083 Saul'sH7586 sonH1121 aroseH6965, and wentH3212 to DavidH1732 into the woodH2793, and strengthenedH2388 his handH3027 in GodH430.
And he saidH559 unto him, FearH3372 not: for the handH3027 of SaulH7586 my fatherH1 shall not findH4672 thee; and thou shalt be kingH4427 over IsraelH3478, and I shall be nextH4932 unto thee; and that also SaulH7586 my fatherH1 knowethH3045.
And they twoH8147 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: and DavidH1732 abodeH3427 in the woodH2793, and JonathanH3083 wentH1980 to his houseH1004.
BecauseG3754 thou sayestG3004+G3754, I amG1510 richG4145, andG2532 increased with goodsG4147, andG2532 haveG2192 needG5532 of nothingG3762; andG2532 knowestG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 thouG4771 artG1488 wretchedG5005, andG2532 miserableG1652, andG2532 poorG4434, andG2532 blindG5185, andG2532 nakedG1131:
ForG1063 we have foundG2147 thisG5126 manG435 a pestilentG3061 fellow, andG2532 a moverG2795 of seditionG4714 among allG3956 the JewsG2453 throughoutG2596 the worldG3625, andG5037 a ringleaderG4414 of the sectG139 of the NazarenesG3480:
ButG1161 thisG5124 I confessG3670 unto theeG4671, thatG3754 afterG2596 the wayG3598 whichG3739 they callG3004 heresyG139, soG3779 worship IG3000 the GodG2316 of my fathersG3971, believingG4100 all thingsG3956 whichG3588 are writtenG1125 inG2596 the lawG3551 andG2532 inG1722 the prophetsG4396:
ButG1161 we desireG515 to hearG191 ofG3844 theeG4675 whatG3739 thou thinkestG5426: forG1063 as concerningG4012+G3303 thisG5026 sectG139, weG2254 knowG2076+G1110 thatG3754 every whereG3837 it is spoken againstG483.
And they twoH8147 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: and DavidH1732 abodeH3427 in the woodH2793, and JonathanH3083 wentH1980 to his houseH1004.
And it came to pass, when he had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 unto SaulH7586, that the soulH5315 of JonathanH3083 was knitH7194 with the soulH5315 of DavidH1732, and JonathanH3083 lovedH157 him as his own soulH5315.
Now the PhilistinesH6430 foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478: and the menH582 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127 from beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430, and fell downH5307 slainH2491 in mountH2022 GilboaH1533. {slain: or, wounded}
And the PhilistinesH6430 followed hardH1692 upon SaulH7586 and upon his sonsH1121; and the PhilistinesH6430 slewH5221 JonathanH3083, and AbinadabH41, and MalchishuaH4444, Saul'sH7586 sonsH1121.
And the battleH4421 went soreH3513 against SaulH7586, and the archersH3384+H582+H7198 hitH4672 him; and he was soreH3966 woundedH2342 of the archersH3384+H582+H7198. {and the archers: Heb. and the shooters, men with bows} {hit…: Heb. found him}
Then saidH559 SaulH7586 unto his armourbearerH5375+H3627, DrawH8025 thy swordH2719, and thrust me throughH1856 therewith; lest these uncircumcisedH6189 comeH935 and thrust me throughH1856, and abuseH5953 me. But his armourbearerH5375+H3627 wouldH14 not; for he was soreH3966 afraidH3372. Therefore SaulH7586 tookH3947 a swordH2719, and fellH5307 upon it. {abuse…: or, mock me}
And when his armourbearerH5375+H3627 sawH7200 that SaulH7586 was deadH4191, he fellH5307 likewise upon his swordH2719, and diedH4191 with him.
So SaulH7586 diedH4191, and his threeH7969 sonsH1121, and his armourbearerH5375+H3627, and all his menH582, that same dayH3117 togetherH3162.
And when the menH582 of IsraelH3478 that were on the other sideH5676 of the valleyH6010, and they that were on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383, sawH7200 that the menH582 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127, and that SaulH7586 and his sonsH1121 were deadH4191, they forsookH5800 the citiesH5892, and fledH5127; and the PhilistinesH6430 cameH935 and dweltH3427 in them.
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, when the PhilistinesH6430 cameH935 to stripH6584 the slainH2491, that they foundH4672 SaulH7586 and his threeH7969 sonsH1121 fallenH5307 in mountH2022 GilboaH1533.
And they cut offH3772 his headH7218, and stripped offH6584 his armourH3627, and sentH7971 into the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430 round aboutH5439, to publishH1319 it in the houseH1004 of their idolsH6091, and among the peopleH5971.
And they putH7760 his armourH3627 in the houseH1004 of AshtarothH6252+H1045: and they fastenedH8628 his bodyH1472 to the wallH2346 of BethshanH1052.
And when the inhabitantsH3427 of JabeshgileadH3003+H1568 heardH8085 of that which the PhilistinesH6430 had doneH6213 to SaulH7586; {of that: or, concerning him that}
All the valiantH2428 menH376+H381 aroseH6965, and wentH3212 all nightH3915, and tookH3947 the bodyH1472 of SaulH7586 and the bodiesH1472 of his sonsH1121 from the wallH2346 of BethshanH1052, and cameH935 to JabeshH3003, and burntH8313 them there.
And they tookH3947 their bonesH6106, and buriedH6912 them under a treeH815 at JabeshH3003, and fastedH6684 sevenH7651 daysH3117.
And IG2504 giveG1325 unto themG846 eternalG166 lifeG2222; andG2532 they shallG622 neverG3364+G1519+G165 perishG622, neitherG2532+G3756 shallG726 anyG5100 man pluckG726 themG846 out ofG1537 myG3450 handG5495.
If any man'sG1536 workG2041 shall be burnedG2618, he shall suffer lossG2210: butG1161 he himselfG846 shall be savedG4982; yetG1161 soG3779 asG5613 byG1223 fireG4442.
TellH5046 it not in GathH1661, publishH1319 it not in the streetsH2351 of AskelonH831; lest the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430 rejoiceH8055, lest the daughtersH1323 of the uncircumcisedH6189 triumphH5937.
Ye mountainsH2022 of GilboaH1533, let there be no dewH2919, neither let there be rainH4306, upon you, nor fieldsH7704 of offeringsH8641: for there the shieldH4043 of the mightyH1368 is vilely cast awayH1602, the shieldH4043 of SaulH7586, as though he had not been anointedH4899 with oilH8081.
From the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491, from the fatH2459 of the mightyH1368, the bowH7198 of JonathanH3083 turnedH7734 not backH268, and the swordH2719 of SaulH7586 returnedH7725 not emptyH7387.
SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 were lovelyH157 and pleasantH5273 in their livesH2416, and in their deathH4194 they were not dividedH6504: they were swifterH7043 than eaglesH5404, they were strongerH1396 than lionsH738. {pleasant: or, sweet}
Ye daughtersH1323 of IsraelH3478, weep overH1058 SaulH7586, who clothedH3847 you in scarletH8144, with other delightsH5730, who putH5927 on ornamentsH5716 of goldH2091 upon your apparelH3830.
How are the mightyH1368 fallenH5307 in the midstH8432 of the battleH4421! O JonathanH3083, thou wast slainH2491 in thine high placesH1116.
I am distressedH6887 for thee, my brotherH251 JonathanH3083: veryH3966 pleasantH5276 hast thou been unto me: thy loveH160 to me was wonderfulH6381, passing the loveH160 of womenH802.
ForG1063 soG3779 an entranceG1529 shall be ministeredG2023 unto youG5213 abundantlyG4146 intoG1519 the everlastingG166 kingdomG932 of ourG2257 LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
Let us go forthG1831 thereforeG5106 untoG4314 himG846 withoutG1854 the campG3925, bearingG5342 hisG846 reproachG3680.
AndG1161 ifG1487 childrenG5043, thenG2532 heirsG2818; heirsG2818 of GodG3303+G2316, andG1161 joint-heirsG4789 with ChristG5547; if so beG1512 that we suffer withG4841 him, thatG2443 we may beG4888 alsoG2532 glorified togetherG4888.
