BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? Shall we continueG1961 in sinG266, thatG2443 graceG5485 may aboundG4121?
God forbidG3361+G1096. HowG4459 shall we, thatG3748 are deadG599 to sinG266, liveG2198 any longerG2089 thereinG1722+G846?
Know ye notG50, that soG3754 many of usG3745 as were baptizedG907 intoG1519 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 were baptizedG907 intoG1519 hisG846 deathG2288? {were: or, are} {were: or, are}
ThereforeG3767 we are buried withG4916 himG846 byG1223 baptismG908 intoG1519 deathG2288: thatG2443 like asG5618 ChristG5547 was raised upG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498 byG1223 the gloryG1391 of the FatherG3962, even soG3779 weG2249 alsoG2532 should walkG4043 inG1722 newnessG2538 of lifeG2222.
ForG1063 ifG1487 we have beenG1096 planted togetherG4854 in the likenessG3667 of hisG846 deathG2288, we shall beG2071 alsoG235+G2532 in the likeness of his resurrectionG386:
KnowingG1097 thisG5124, thatG3754 ourG2257 oldG3820 manG444 is crucified withG4957 him, thatG2443 the bodyG4983 of sinG266 might be destroyedG2673, that henceforthG3371 weG2248 shouldG1398 notG3371 serveG1398 sinG266.
ForG1063 he that is deadG599 is freedG1344 fromG575 sinG266. {freed: Gr. justified}
NowG1161 ifG1487 we be deadG599 withG4862 ChristG5547, we believeG4100 thatG3754 we shallG4800 alsoG2532 liveG4800 with himG846:
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 ChristG5547 being raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498 diethG599 no moreG3765; deathG2288 hathG2961 no moreG3765 dominion overG2961 himG846.
ForG3739+G1063 in that he diedG599, he diedG599 unto sinG266 onceG2178: butG1161 in thatG3739 he livethG2198, he livethG2198 unto GodG2316.
LikewiseG3779 reckonG3049 yeG5210 alsoG2532 yourselvesG1438 to beG1511 deadG3498 indeedG3303 unto sinG266, butG1161 aliveG2198 unto GodG2316 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962.
LetG936 notG3361 sinG266 thereforeG3767 reignG936 inG1722 yourG5216 mortalG2349 bodyG4983, thatG1519 ye should obeyG5219 itG846 inG1722 the lustsG1939 thereofG846.
NeitherG3366 yield yeG3936 yourG5216 membersG3196 as instrumentsG3696 of unrighteousnessG93 unto sinG266: butG235 yieldG3936 yourselvesG1438 unto GodG2316, asG5613 those that are aliveG2198 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 yourG5216 membersG3196 as instrumentsG3696 of righteousnessG1343 unto GodG2316. {instruments: Gr. arms, or, weapons}
ForG1063 sinG266 shallG2961 notG3756 have dominion overG2961 youG5216: forG1063 ye areG2075 notG3756 underG5259 the lawG3551, butG235 underG5259 graceG5485.
WhatG5101 thenG3767? shall we sinG264, becauseG3754 we areG2070 notG3756 underG5259 the lawG3551, butG235 underG5259 graceG5485? God forbidG3361+G1096.
Know yeG1492 notG3756, thatG3754 to whomG3739 ye yieldG3936 yourselvesG1438 servantsG1401 toG1519 obeyG5218, his servantsG1401 ye areG2075 to whomG3739 ye obeyG5219; whetherG2273 of sinG266 untoG1519 deathG2288, orG2228 of obedienceG5218 untoG1519 righteousnessG1343?
ButG1161 GodG2316 be thankedG5485, thatG3754 ye wereG2258 the servantsG1401 of sinG266, butG1161 ye have obeyedG5219 fromG1537 the heartG2588 that formG5179 of doctrineG1322 whichG1519+G3739 was delivered youG3860. {which…: Gr. whereto ye were delivered}
BeingG1659 thenG1161 made freeG1659 fromG575 sinG266, ye became the servantsG1402 of righteousnessG1343.
I speakG3004 after the manner of menG442 becauseG1223 of the infirmityG769 of yourG5216 fleshG4561: forG1063 asG5618 ye have yieldedG3936 yourG5216 membersG3196 servantsG1401 to uncleannessG167 andG2532 to iniquityG458 untoG1519 iniquityG458; even soG3779 nowG3568 yieldG3936 yourG5216 membersG3196 servantsG1401 to righteousnessG1343 untoG1519 holinessG38.
ForG1063 whenG3753 ye wereG2258 the servantsG1401 of sinG266, ye wereG2258 freeG1658 from righteousnessG1343. {from…: Gr. to righteousness}
WhatG5101+G3767 fruitG2590 had yeG2192 thenG5119 inG1909 those things whereofG3739 ye areG1870 nowG3568 ashamedG1870? forG1063 the endG5056 of those thingsG1565 is deathG2288.
ButG1161 nowG3570 being made freeG1659 fromG575 sinG266, andG1161 become servantsG1402 to GodG2316, ye haveG2192 yourG5216 fruitG2590 untoG1519 holinessG38, andG1161 the endG5056 everlastingG166 lifeG2222.
ForG1063 the wagesG3800 of sinG266 is deathG2288; butG1161 the giftG5486 of GodG2316 is eternalG166 lifeG2222 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962.
ForG1063 whatsoever thingsG3745 were written aforetimeG4270 were writtenG4270 forG1519 ourG2251 learningG1319, thatG2443 weG2192 throughG1223 patienceG5281 andG2532 comfortG3874 of the scripturesG1124 might haveG2192 hopeG1680.
And it came to pass, when SaulH7586 was returnedH7725 from followingH310 the PhilistinesH6430, that it was toldH5046 him, sayingH559, Behold, DavidH1732 is in the wildernessH4057 of EngediH5872. {following: Heb. after}
Then SaulH7586 tookH3947 threeH7969 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376 out of all IsraelH3478, and wentH3212 to seekH1245 DavidH1732 and his menH582 uponH6440 the rocksH6697 of the wild goatsH3277.
And he cameH935 to the sheepcotesH1448+H6629 by the wayH1870, where was a caveH4631; and SaulH7586 went inH935 to coverH5526 his feetH7272: and DavidH1732 and his menH582 remainedH3427 in the sidesH3411 of the caveH4631.
And the menH582 of DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, Behold the dayH3117 of which the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto thee, Behold, I will deliverH5414 thine enemyH341 into thine handH3027, that thou mayest doH6213 to him as it shall seem goodH3190 unto theeH5869. Then DavidH1732 aroseH6965, and cut offH3772 the skirtH3671 of Saul'sH7586 robeH4598 privilyH3909. {Saul's…: Heb. the robe which was Saul's}
And it came to pass afterwardH310, that David'sH1732 heartH3820 smoteH5221 him, because he had cut offH3772 Saul'sH7586 skirtH3671.
And he saidH559 unto his menH582, The LORDH3068 forbidH2486 that I should doH6213 this thingH1697 unto my masterH113, the LORD'SH3068 anointedH4899, to stretch forthH7971 mine handH3027 against him, seeing he is the anointedH4899 of the LORDH3068.
So DavidH1732 stayedH8156 his servantsH582 with these wordsH1697, and sufferedH5414 them not to riseH6965 against SaulH7586. But SaulH7586 rose upH6965 out of the caveH4631, and wentH3212 on his wayH1870. {stayed: Heb. cut off}
DavidH1732 also aroseH6965 afterward, and went outH3318 of the caveH4631, and criedH7121 afterH310 SaulH7586, sayingH559, My lordH113 the kingH4428. And when SaulH7586 lookedH5027 behindH310 him, DavidH1732 stoopedH6915 with his faceH639 to the earthH776, and bowedH7812 himself.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Wherefore hearestH8085 thou men'sH120 wordsH1697, sayingH559, Behold, DavidH1732 seekethH1245 thy hurtH7451?
Behold, this dayH3117 thine eyesH5869 have seenH7200 how that the LORDH3068 had deliveredH5414 thee to dayH3117 into mine handH3027 in the caveH4631: and some badeH559 me killH2026 thee: but mine eye sparedH2347 thee; and I saidH559, I will not put forthH7971 mine handH3027 against my lordH113; for he is the LORD'SH3068 anointedH4899.
Moreover, my fatherH1, seeH7200, yea, seeH7200 the skirtH3671 of thy robeH4598 in my handH3027: for in that I cut offH3772 the skirtH3671 of thy robeH4598, and killedH2026 thee not, knowH3045 thou and seeH7200 that there is neither evilH7451 nor transgressionH6588 in mine handH3027, and I have not sinnedH2398 against thee; yet thou huntestH6658 my soulH5315 to takeH3947 it.
The LORDH3068 judgeH8199 between me and thee, and the LORDH3068 avengeH5358 me of thee: but mine handH3027 shall not be upon thee.
As saithH559 the proverbH4912 of the ancientsH6931, WickednessH7562 proceedethH3318 from the wickedH7563: but mine handH3027 shall not be upon thee.
AfterH310 whom is the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 come outH3318? afterH310 whom dost thou pursueH7291? afterH310 a deadH4191 dogH3611, afterH310 aH259 fleaH6550.
The LORDH3068 therefore be judgeH1781, and judgeH8199 between me and thee, and seeH7200, and pleadH7378 my causeH7379, and deliverH8199 me out of thine handH3027. {deliver: Heb. judge}
And it came to pass, when DavidH1732 had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 these wordsH1697 unto SaulH7586, that SaulH7586 saidH559, Is this thy voiceH6963, my sonH1121 DavidH1732? And SaulH7586 lifted upH5375 his voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
And he saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art more righteousH6662 than I: for thou hast rewardedH1580 me goodH2896, whereas I have rewardedH1580 thee evilH7451.
And thou hast shewedH5046 this dayH3117 how that thou hast dealtH6213 wellH2896 with me: forasmuch as when the LORDH3068 had deliveredH5462 me into thine handH3027, thou killedstH2026 me not. {delivered: Heb. shut up}
For if a manH376 findH4672 his enemyH341, will he let him goH7971 wellH2896 awayH1870? wherefore the LORDH3068 rewardH7999 thee goodH2896 for that thou hast doneH6213 unto me this dayH3117.
And now, behold, I know wellH3045 that thou shalt surelyH4427 be kingH4427, and that the kingdomH4467 of IsraelH3478 shall be establishedH6965 in thine handH3027.
SwearH7650 now therefore unto me by the LORDH3068, that thou wilt notH518 cut offH3772 my seedH2233 afterH310 me, and that thou wilt not destroyH8045 my nameH8034 out of my father'sH1 houseH1004.
And DavidH1732 swareH7650 unto SaulH7586. And SaulH7586 wentH3212 homeH1004; but DavidH1732 and his menH582 gat them upH5927 unto the holdH4686.
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.
Now the PhilistinesH6430 gathered togetherH622 their armiesH4264 to battleH4421, and were gathered togetherH622 at ShochohH7755, which belongeth to JudahH3063, and pitchedH2583 between ShochohH7755 and AzekahH5825, in EphesdammimH658. {Ephesdammim: or, the coast of Dammim, called Pasdammim}
And SaulH7586 and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were gathered togetherH622, and pitchedH2583 by the valleyH6010 of ElahH425, and set the battleH4421 in arrayH6186 againstH7125 the PhilistinesH6430. {set…: Heb. ranged the battle}
And the PhilistinesH6430 stoodH5975 on a mountainH2022 on the one side, and IsraelH3478 stoodH5975 on a mountainH2022 on the other side: and there was a valleyH1516 between them.
And there went outH3318 a championH376+H1143 out of the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, namedH8034 GoliathH1555, of GathH1661, whose heightH1363 was sixH8337 cubitsH520 and a spanH2239.
And he had an helmetH3553 of brassH5178 upon his headH7218, and he was armedH3847 with a coatH8302 of mailH7193; and the weightH4948 of the coatH8302 was fiveH2568 thousandH505 shekelsH8255 of brassH5178. {armed: Heb. clothed}
And he had greavesH4697 of brassH5178 upon his legsH7272, and a targetH3591 of brassH5178 between his shouldersH3802. {target: or, gorget}
And the staffH6086+H2671 of his spearH2595 was like a weaver'sH707 beamH4500; and his spear'sH2595 headH3852 weighed sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of ironH1270: and one bearingH5375 a shieldH6793 wentH1980 beforeH6440 him.
And he stoodH5975 and criedH7121 unto the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto them, Why are ye come outH3318 to set your battleH4421 in arrayH6186? am not I a PhilistineH6430, and ye servantsH5650 to SaulH7586? chooseH1262 you a manH376 for you, and let him come downH3381 to me.
If he be ableH3201 to fightH3898 with me, and to killH5221 me, then will we be your servantsH5650: but if I prevailH3201 against him, and killH5221 him, then shall ye be our servantsH5650, and serveH5647 us.
And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559, I defyH2778 the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478 this dayH3117; giveH5414 me a manH376, that we may fightH3898 togetherH3162.
When SaulH7586 and all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 those wordsH1697 of the PhilistineH6430, they were dismayedH2865, and greatlyH3966 afraidH3372.
Now DavidH1732 was the sonH1121 of that EphrathiteH376+H673 of BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063, whose nameH8034 was JesseH3448; and he had eightH8083 sonsH1121: and the manH376 wentH935 among menH582 for an old manH2204 in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586.
And the threeH7969 eldestH1419 sonsH1121 of JesseH3448 wentH3212 and followedH310 SaulH7586 to the battleH4421: and the namesH8034 of his threeH7969 sonsH1121 that wentH1980 to the battleH4421 were EliabH446 the firstbornH1060, and nextH4932 unto him AbinadabH41, and the thirdH7992 ShammahH8048.
And DavidH1732 was the youngestH6996: and the threeH7969 eldestH1419 followedH1980+H310 SaulH7586.
But DavidH1732 wentH1980 and returnedH7725 from SaulH7586 to feedH7462 his father'sH1 sheepH6629 at BethlehemH1035.
And the PhilistineH6430 drew nearH5066 morningH7925 and eveningH6150, and presentedH3320 himself fortyH705 daysH3117.
And JesseH3448 saidH559 unto DavidH1732 his sonH1121, TakeH3947 now for thy brethrenH251 an ephahH374 of thisH2088 parchedH7039 corn, and these tenH6235 loavesH3899, and runH7323 to the campH4264 to thy brethrenH251;
And carryH935 these tenH6235 cheesesH2461+H2757 unto the captainH8269 of their thousandH505, and lookH6485 how thy brethrenH251 fareH7965, and takeH3947 their pledgeH6161. {cheeses: Heb. cheeses of milk} {of…: Heb. of a thousand}
Now SaulH7586, and they, and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, were in the valleyH6010 of ElahH425, fightingH3898 with the PhilistinesH6430.
And DavidH1732 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and leftH5203 the sheepH6629 with a keeperH8104, and tookH5375, and wentH3212, as JesseH3448 had commandedH6680 him; and he cameH935 to the trenchH4570, as the hostH2428 was going forthH3318 to the fightH4634, and shoutedH7321 for the battleH4421. {trench: or, place of the carriage} {fight: or, battle array, or, place of fight}
For IsraelH3478 and the PhilistinesH6430 had put the battle in arrayH6186, armyH4634 againstH7125 armyH4634.
And DavidH1732 leftH5203 his carriageH3627 in the handH3027 of the keeperH8104 of the carriageH3627, and ranH7323 into the armyH4634, and cameH935 and salutedH7592+H7965 his brethrenH251. {his carriage: Heb. the vessels from upon him} {saluted…: Heb. asked his brethren of peace}
And as he talkedH1696 with them, behold, there came upH5927 the championH376+H1143, the PhilistineH6430 of GathH1661, GoliathH1555 by nameH8034, out of the armiesH4634+H4630 of the PhilistinesH6430, and spakeH1696 according to the sameH428 wordsH1697: and DavidH1732 heardH8085 them.
And all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, when they sawH7200 the manH376, fledH5127 from himH6440, and were soreH3966 afraidH3372. {from…: Heb. from his face}
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, Have ye seenH7200 this manH376 that is come upH5927? surely to defyH2778 IsraelH3478 is he come upH5927: and it shall be, that the manH376 who killethH5221 him, the kingH4428 will enrichH6238 him with greatH1419 richesH6239, and will giveH5414 him his daughterH1323, and makeH6213 his father'sH1 houseH1004 freeH2670 in IsraelH3478.
And DavidH1732 spakeH559 to the menH582 that stoodH5975 by him, sayingH559, What shall be doneH6213 to the manH376 that killethH5221 thisH1975 PhilistineH6430, and taketh awayH5493 the reproachH2781 from IsraelH3478? for who is this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430, that he should defyH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430?
And the peopleH5971 answeredH559 him after this mannerH1697, sayingH559, So shall it be doneH6213 to the manH376 that killethH5221 him.
And EliabH446 his eldestH1419 brotherH251 heardH8085 when he spakeH1696 unto the menH582; and Eliab'sH446 angerH639 was kindledH2734 against DavidH1732, and he saidH559, Why camest thou downH3381 hither? and with whom hast thou leftH5203 thoseH2007 fewH4592 sheepH6629 in the wildernessH4057? I knowH3045 thy prideH2087, and the naughtinessH7455 of thine heartH3824; for thou art come downH3381 that thou mightest seeH7200 the battleH4421.
And DavidH1732 saidH559, What have I now doneH6213? Is there not a causeH1697?
And he turnedH5437 from himH681 towardH4136 anotherH312, and spakeH559 after the same mannerH1697: and the peopleH5971 answeredH1697 him againH7725 after the formerH7223 mannerH1697. {manner: Heb. word}
And when the wordsH1697 were heardH8085 which DavidH1732 spakeH1696, they rehearsedH5046 them beforeH6440 SaulH7586: and he sentH3947 for him. {sent…: Heb. took him}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Let no man'sH120 heartH3820 failH5307 because of him; thy servantH5650 will goH3212 and fightH3898 with this PhilistineH6430.
And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art not ableH3201 to goH3212 against this PhilistineH6430 to fightH3898 with him: for thou art but a youthH5288, and he a manH376 of warH4421 from his youthH5271.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Thy servantH5650 keptH7462 his father'sH1 sheepH6629, and there cameH935 a lionH738, and a bearH1677, and tookH5375 a lambH7716+H2089 out of the flockH5739: {lamb: or, kid}
And I went outH3318 afterH310 him, and smoteH5221 him, and deliveredH5337 it out of his mouthH6310: and when he aroseH6965 against me, I caughtH2388 him by his beardH2206, and smoteH5221 him, and slewH4191 him.
Thy servantH5650 slewH5221 both the lionH738 and the bearH1677: and this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430 shall be as oneH259 of them, seeing he hath defiedH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430.
DavidH1732 saidH559 moreover, The LORDH3068 that deliveredH5337 me out of the pawH3027 of the lionH738, and out of the pawH3027 of the bearH1677, he will deliverH5337 me out of the handH3027 of this PhilistineH6430. And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, GoH3212, and the LORDH3068 be with thee.
And SaulH7586 armedH3847 DavidH1732 with his armourH4055, and he putH5414 an helmetH6959 of brassH5178 upon his headH7218; also he armedH3847 him with a coat of mailH8302. {armed David…: Heb. clothed David with his clothes}
And DavidH1732 girdedH2296 his swordH2719 upon his armourH4055, and he assayedH2974 to goH3212; for he had not provedH5254 it. And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I cannotH3201 goH3212 with these; for I have not provedH5254 them. And DavidH1732 putH5493 them off him.
And he tookH3947 his staffH4731 in his handH3027, and choseH977 him fiveH2568 smoothH2512 stonesH68 out of the brookH5158, and putH7760 them in a shepherd'sH7462 bagH3627 which he had, even in a scripH3219; and his slingH7050 was in his handH3027: and he drew nearH5066 to the PhilistineH6430. {brook: or, valley} {bag: Heb. vessel}
And the PhilistineH6430 cameH3212 onH1980 and drew nearH7131 unto DavidH1732; and the manH376 that bareH5375 the shieldH6793 went beforeH6440 him.
And when the PhilistineH6430 looked aboutH5027, and sawH7200 DavidH1732, he disdainedH959 him: for he was but a youthH5288, and ruddyH132, and of a fairH3303 countenanceH4758.
And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Am I a dogH3611, that thou comestH935 to me with stavesH4731? And the PhilistineH6430 cursedH7043 DavidH1732 by his godsH430.
And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 to DavidH1732, ComeH3212 to me, and I will giveH5414 thy fleshH1320 unto the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064, and to the beastsH929 of the fieldH7704.
Then saidH559 DavidH1732 to the PhilistineH6430, Thou comestH935 to me with a swordH2719, and with a spearH2595, and with a shieldH3591: but I comeH935 to thee in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, whom thou hast defiedH2778.
This dayH3117 will the LORDH3068 deliverH5462 thee into mine handH3027; and I will smiteH5221 thee, and takeH5493 thine headH7218 from thee; and I will giveH5414 the carcasesH6297 of the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 this dayH3117 unto the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064, and to the wild beastsH2416 of the earthH776; that all the earthH776 may knowH3045 that there isH3426 a GodH430 in IsraelH3478. {deliver…: Heb. shut thee up}
And all this assemblyH6951 shall knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 savethH3467 not with swordH2719 and spearH2595: for the battleH4421 is the LORD'SH3068, and he will giveH5414 you into our handsH3027.
And it came to pass, when the PhilistineH6430 aroseH6965, and cameH3212 and drew nighH7126 to meetH7125 DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 hastedH4116, and ranH7323 toward the armyH4634 to meetH7125 the PhilistineH6430.
And DavidH1732 putH7971 his handH3027 in his bagH3627, and tookH3947 thence a stoneH68, and slangH7049 it, and smoteH5221 the PhilistineH6430 in his foreheadH4696, that the stoneH68 sunkH2883 into his foreheadH4696; and he fellH5307 upon his faceH6440 to the earthH776.
So DavidH1732 prevailedH2388 overH4480 the PhilistineH6430 with a slingH7050 and with a stoneH68, and smoteH5221 the PhilistineH6430, and slewH4191 him; but there was no swordH2719 in the handH3027 of DavidH1732.
Therefore DavidH1732 ranH7323, and stoodH5975 upon the PhilistineH6430, and tookH3947 his swordH2719, and drewH8025 it out of the sheathH8593 thereof, and slewH4191 him, and cut offH3772 his headH7218 therewith. And when the PhilistinesH6430 sawH7200 their championH1368 was deadH4191, they fledH5127.
And the menH582 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063 aroseH6965, and shoutedH7321, and pursuedH7291 the PhilistinesH6430, until thou comeH935 to the valleyH1516, and to the gatesH8179 of EkronH6138. And the woundedH2491 of the PhilistinesH6430 fell downH5307 by the wayH1870 to ShaaraimH8189, even unto GathH1661, and unto EkronH6138.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725 from chasingH1814 afterH310 the PhilistinesH6430, and they spoiledH8155 their tentsH4264.
And DavidH1732 tookH3947 the headH7218 of the PhilistineH6430, and broughtH935 it to JerusalemH3389; but he putH7760 his armourH3627 in his tentH168.
And when SaulH7586 sawH7200 DavidH1732 go forthH3318 againstH7125 the PhilistineH6430, he saidH559 unto AbnerH74, the captainH8269 of the hostH6635, AbnerH74, whose sonH1121 is this youthH5288? And AbnerH74 saidH559, As thy soulH5315 livethH2416, O kingH4428, I cannotH518 tellH3045.
And the kingH4428 saidH559, EnquireH7592 thou whose sonH1121 the striplingH5958 is.
And as DavidH1732 returnedH7725 from the slaughterH5221 of the PhilistineH6430, AbnerH74 tookH3947 him, and broughtH935 him beforeH6440 SaulH7586 with the headH7218 of the PhilistineH6430 in his handH3027.
And SaulH7586 saidH559 to him, Whose sonH1121 art thou, thou young manH5288? And DavidH1732 answeredH559, I am the sonH1121 of thy servantH5650 JesseH3448 the BethlehemiteH1022.
BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
LetG5426 thisG5124 mind beG5426 inG1722 youG5213, whichG3739 was alsoG2532 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
I beseechG3870 youG5209 thereforeG3767, brethrenG80, byG1223 the merciesG3628 of GodG2316, that ye presentG3936 yourG5216 bodiesG4983 a livingG2198 sacrificeG2378, holyG40, acceptableG2101 unto GodG2316, which is yourG5216 reasonableG3050 serviceG2999.
AndG2532 beG4964 notG3361 conformedG4964 to thisG5129 worldG165: butG235 be ye transformedG3339 by the renewingG342 of yourG5216 mindG3563, thatG1519 yeG5209 may proveG1381 whatG5101 is that goodG18, andG2532 acceptableG2101, andG2532 perfectG5046, willG2307 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 I sayG3004, throughG1223 the graceG5485 givenG1325 unto meG3427, to every manG3956 that isG5607 amongG1722 youG5213, notG3361 to think of himself moreG3844 highlyG5252 thanG3739 he oughtG1163 to thinkG5426; butG235 to thinkG5426 soberlyG1519+G4993, according asG5613 GodG2316 hath dealtG3307 to every manG1538 the measureG3358 of faithG4102. {soberly: Gr. to sobriety}
ForG1063 asG2509 we haveG2192 manyG4183 membersG3196 inG1722 oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG1161 allG3956 membersG3196 haveG2192 notG3756 the sameG846 officeG4234:
SoG3779 weG2070, being manyG4183, areG2070 oneG1520 bodyG4983 inG1722 ChristG5547, andG1161 everyG2596 oneG1520 membersG3196 one of anotherG240.
HavingG2192 thenG1161 giftsG5486 differingG1313 accordingG2596 to the graceG5485 that is givenG1325 to usG2254, whetherG1535 prophecyG4394, let us prophesy accordingG2596 to the proportionG356 of faithG4102;
OrG1535 ministryG1248, let us wait onG1722 our ministeringG1248: orG1535 he that teachethG1321, onG1722 teachingG1319;
OrG1535 he that exhortethG3870, onG1722 exhortationG3874: he that givethG3330, let him do it withG1722 simplicityG572; he that rulethG4291, withG1722 diligenceG4710; he that sheweth mercyG1653, withG1722 cheerfulnessG2432. {giveth: or, imparteth} {with simplicity: or, liberally}
Let loveG26 be without dissimulationG505. AbhorG655 that which is evilG4190; cleaveG2853 to that which is goodG18.
Be kindly affectionedG5387 one to anotherG1519+G240 with brotherly loveG5360; in honourG5092 preferringG4285 one anotherG240; {with…: or, in the love of the brethren}
NotG3361 slothfulG3636 in businessG4710; ferventG2204 in spiritG4151; servingG1398 the LordG2962;
RejoicingG5463 in hopeG1680; patientG5278 in tribulationG2347; continuing instantG4342 in prayerG4335;
DistributingG2841 to the necessityG5532 of saintsG40; givenG1377 to hospitalityG5381.
BlessG2127 them which persecuteG1377 youG5209: blessG2127, andG2532 curseG2672 notG3361.
RejoiceG5463 withG3326 them that do rejoiceG5463, andG2532 weepG2799 withG3326 them that weepG2799.
Be of the sameG846 mindG5426 one toward anotherG1519+G240. MindG5426 notG3361 high thingsG5308, butG235 condescendG4879 to men of low estateG5011. BeG1096 notG3361 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438. {condescend…: or, be contented with mean things}
RecompenseG591 to no manG3367 evilG2556 forG473 evilG2556. ProvideG4306 things honestG2570 in the sightG1799 of allG3956 menG444.
IfG1487 it be possibleG1415, as much as lieth inG1537 youG5216, live peaceablyG1514 withG3326 allG3956 menG444.
Dearly belovedG27, avengeG1556 notG3361 yourselvesG1438, butG235 rather giveG1325 placeG5117 unto wrathG3709: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, VengeanceG1557 is mineG1698; IG1473 will repayG467, saithG3004 the LordG2962.
ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 thineG4675 enemyG2190 hungerG3983, feedG5595 himG846; ifG1437 he thirstG1372, giveG4222 himG846 drinkG4222: forG1063 in soG5124 doingG4160 thou shalt heapG4987 coalsG440 of fireG4442 onG1909 hisG846 headG2776.
BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
WhereforeG5620+G2532 letG3908 them that sufferG3958 according toG2596 the willG2307 of GodG2316 commit the keepingG3908 of theirG1438 soulsG5590 to him inG1722 well doingG16, asG5613 unto a faithfulG4103 CreatorG2939.
An ungodlyH1100 manH376 diggeth upH3738 evilH7451: and in his lipsH8193 there is as a burningH6867 fireH784. {An…: Heb. A man of Belial}
BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
ForG1063 whoG5101 makethG1252 theeG4571 to differG1252 from another? andG1161 whatG5101 hast thouG2192 thatG3739 thou didstG2983 notG3756 receiveG2983+G1161? now ifG1499 thou didst receiveG2983 it, whyG5101 dost thou gloryG2744, asG5613 if thou hadstG2983 notG3361 receivedG2983 it? {maketh…: Gr. distinguisheth thee}
ButG1161 the wisdomG4678 that is from aboveG509 isG2076 firstG4412 pureG3303+G53, thenG1899 peaceableG1516, gentleG1933, and easy to be intreatedG2138, fullG3324 of mercyG1656 andG2532 goodG18 fruitsG2590, without partialityG87, andG2532 without hypocrisyG505. {partiality: or, wrangling}
My sonH1121, if thou wilt receiveH3947 my wordsH561, and hideH6845 my commandmentsH4687 with thee;
So that thou inclineH7181 thine earH241 unto wisdomH2451, and applyH5186 thine heartH3820 to understandingH8394;
Yea, if thou criestH7121 after knowledgeH998, and liftest upH5414 thy voiceH6963 for understandingH8394; {liftest…: Heb. givest thy voice}
If thou seekestH1245 her as silverH3701, and searchestH2664 for her as for hid treasuresH4301;
Then shalt thou understandH995 the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068, and findH4672 the knowledgeH1847 of GodH430.
For the LORDH3068 givethH5414 wisdomH2451: out of his mouthH6310 cometh knowledgeH1847 and understandingH8394.
He layeth upH6845+H6845 sound wisdomH8454 for the righteousH3477: he is a bucklerH4043 to them that walkH1980 uprightlyH8537.
He keepethH5341 the pathsH734 of judgmentH4941, and preservethH8104 the wayH1870 of his saintsH2623.
Be not wiseH2450 in thine own eyesH5869: fearH3372 the LORDH3068, and departH5493 from evilH7451.
It shall be healthH7500 to thy navelH8270, and marrowH8250 to thy bonesH6106. {health: Heb. medicine} {marrow: Heb. watering, or, moistening}
The LORDH3068 by wisdomH2451 hath foundedH3245 the earthH776; by understandingH8394 hath he establishedH3559 the heavensH8064. {established: or, prepared}
By his knowledgeH1847 the depthsH8415 are broken upH1234, and the cloudsH7834 drop downH7491 the dewH2919.
My sonH1121, let not them departH3868 from thine eyesH5869: keepH5341 sound wisdomH8454 and discretionH4209:
So shall they be lifeH2416 unto thy soulH5315, and graceH2580 to thy neckH1621.
Then shalt thou walkH3212 in thy wayH1870 safelyH983, and thy footH7272 shall not stumbleH5062.
When thou liest downH7901, thou shalt not be afraidH6342: yea, thou shalt lie downH7901, and thy sleepH8142 shall be sweetH6149.
Be not afraidH3372 of suddenH6597 fearH6343, neither of the desolationH7722 of the wickedH7563, when it comethH935.
For the LORDH3068 shall be thy confidenceH3689, and shall keepH8104 thy footH7272 from being takenH3921.
Thou hast provedH974 mine heartH3820; thou hast visitedH6485 me in the nightH3915; thou hast triedH6884 me, and shalt findH4672 nothing; I am purposedH2161 that my mouthH6310 shall not transgressH5674.
BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
NayG235, inG1722 allG3956 these thingsG5125 we are more than conquerorsG5245 throughG1223 him that lovedG25 usG2248.
To the chief MusicianH5329, A Psalm of DavidH1732, the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068, who spakeH1696 unto the LORDH3068 the wordsH1697 of this songH7892 in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 deliveredH5337 him from the handH3709 of all his enemiesH341, and from the handH3027 of SaulH7586: And he saidH559, I will loveH7355 thee, O LORDH3068, my strengthH2391.
The LORDH3068 is my rockH5553, and my fortressH4686, and my delivererH6403; my GodH410, my strengthH6697, in whom I will trustH2620; my bucklerH4043, and the hornH7161 of my salvationH3468, and my high towerH4869. {my strength: Heb. my rock}
I will callH7121 upon the LORDH3068, who is worthy to be praisedH1984: so shall I be savedH3467 from mine enemiesH341.
The sorrowsH2256 of deathH4194 compassedH661 me, and the floodsH5158 of ungodly menH1100 made me afraidH1204. {ungodly men: Heb. Belial}
The sorrowsH2256 of hellH7585 compassed me aboutH5437: the snaresH4170 of deathH4194 preventedH6923 me. {sorrows: or, cords}
In my distressH6862 I calledH7121 upon the LORDH3068, and criedH7768 unto my GodH430: he heardH8085 my voiceH6963 out of his templeH1964, and my cryH7775 cameH935 beforeH6440 him, even into his earsH241.
Then the earthH776 shookH1607 and trembledH7493; the foundationsH4146 also of the hillsH2022 movedH7264 and were shakenH1607, because he was wrothH2734.
There went upH5927 a smokeH6227 out of his nostrilsH639, and fireH784 out of his mouthH6310 devouredH398: coalsH1513 were kindledH1197 by it. {out of his nostrils: Heb. by his, etc}
He bowedH5186 the heavensH8064 also, and came downH3381: and darknessH6205 was under his feetH7272.
And he rodeH7392 upon a cherubH3742, and did flyH5774: yea, he did flyH1675 upon the wingsH3671 of the windH7307.
He madeH7896 darknessH2822 his secret placeH5643; his pavilionH5521 round aboutH5439 him were darkH2824 watersH4325 and thick cloudsH5645 of the skiesH7834.
At the brightnessH5051 that was before him his thick cloudsH5645 passedH5674, hailH1259 stones and coalsH1513 of fireH784.
The LORDH3068 also thunderedH7481 in the heavensH8064, and the HighestH5945 gaveH5414 his voiceH6963; hailH1259 stones and coalsH1513 of fireH784.
Yea, he sent outH7971 his arrowsH2671, and scatteredH6327 them; and he shot outH7232 lightningsH1300, and discomfitedH2000 them.
Then the channelsH650 of watersH4325 were seenH7200, and the foundationsH4146 of the worldH8398 were discoveredH1540 at thy rebukeH1606, O LORDH3068, at the blastH5397 of the breathH7307 of thy nostrilsH639.
He sentH7971 from aboveH4791, he tookH3947 me, he drewH4871 me out of manyH7227 watersH4325. {many: or, great}
He deliveredH5337 me from my strongH5794 enemyH341, and from them which hatedH8130 me: for they were too strongH553 for me.
They preventedH6923 me in the dayH3117 of my calamityH343: but the LORDH3068 was my stayH4937.
He brought me forthH3318 also into a large placeH4800; he deliveredH2502 me, because he delightedH2654 in me.
The LORDH3068 rewardedH1580 me according to my righteousnessH6664; according to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 hath he recompensedH7725 me.
For I have keptH8104 the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068, and have not wickedly departedH7561 from my GodH430.
For all his judgmentsH4941 were before me, and I did not put awayH5493 his statutesH2708 from me.
I was also uprightH8549 before him, and I keptH8104 myself from mine iniquityH5771. {before: Heb. with}
Therefore hath the LORDH3068 recompensedH7725 me according to my righteousnessH6664, according to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 in his eyesightH5869. {in…: Heb. before his eyes}
With the mercifulH2623 thou wilt shew thyself mercifulH2616; with an uprightH8549 manH1399 thou wilt shew thyself uprightH8552;
With the pureH1305 thou wilt shew thyself pureH1305; and with the frowardH6141 thou wilt shew thyself frowardH6617. {shew thyself froward: or, wrestle}
For thou wilt saveH3467 the afflictedH6041 peopleH5971; but wilt bring downH8213 highH7311 looksH5869.
For thou wilt lightH215 my candleH5216: the LORDH3068 my GodH430 will enlightenH5050 my darknessH2822. {candle: or, lamp}
For by thee I have run throughH7323 a troopH1416; and by my GodH430 have I leaped overH1801 a wallH7791. {run…: or, broken}
As for GodH410, his wayH1870 is perfectH8549: the wordH565 of the LORDH3068 is triedH6884: he is a bucklerH4043 to all those that trustH2620 in him. {tried: or, refined}
For who is GodH433 saveH1107 the LORDH3068? or who is a rockH6697 saveH2108 our GodH430?
It is GodH410 that girdethH247 me with strengthH2428, and makethH5414 my wayH1870 perfectH8549.
He makethH7737 my feetH7272 like hinds'H355 feet, and settethH5975 me upon my high placesH1116.
He teachethH3925 my handsH3027 to warH4421, so that a bowH7198 of steelH5154 is brokenH5181 by mine armsH2220.
Thou hast also givenH5414 me the shieldH4043 of thy salvationH3468: and thy right handH3225 hath holden me upH5582, and thy gentlenessH6037 hath made me greatH7235. {thy gentleness…: or, with thy meekness thou hast multiplied me}
Thou hast enlargedH7337 my stepsH6806 under me, that my feetH7166 did not slipH4571. {my feet: Heb. mine ankles}
I have pursuedH7291 mine enemiesH341, and overtakenH5381 them: neither did I turn againH7725 till they were consumedH3615.
I have woundedH4272 them that they were not ableH3201 to riseH6965: they are fallenH5307 under my feetH7272.
For thou hast girdedH247 me with strengthH2428 unto the battleH4421: thou hast subduedH3766 under me those that rose upH6965 against me. {subdued: Heb. caused to bow}
Thou hast also givenH5414 me the necksH6203 of mine enemiesH341; that I might destroyH6789 them that hateH8130 me.
They criedH7768, but there was none to saveH3467 them: even unto the LORDH3068, but he answeredH6030 them not.
Then did I beatH7833 them small as the dustH6083 beforeH6440 the windH7307: I did cast them outH7324 as the dirtH2916 in the streetsH2351.
Thou hast deliveredH6403 me from the strivingsH7379 of the peopleH5971; and thou hast madeH7760 me the headH7218 of the heathenH1471: a peopleH5971 whom I have not knownH3045 shall serveH5647 me.
As soon as they hearH8088+H241 of me, they shall obeyH8085 me: the strangersH1121+H5236 shall submitH3584 themselves unto me. {As soon…: Heb. At the hearing of the ear} {submit…: or, yield feigned obedience} {strangers: Heb. sons of the stranger}
The strangersH1121+H5236 shall fade awayH5034, and be afraidH2727 out of their close placesH4526. {strangers: Heb. sons of the stranger}
The LORDH3068 livethH2416; and blessedH1288 be my rockH6697; and let the GodH430 of my salvationH3468 be exaltedH7311.
It is GodH410 that avengethH5414+H5360 me, and subduethH1696 the peopleH5971 under me. {avengeth: Heb. giveth avengements for} {subdueth: or, destroyeth}
He deliverethH6403 me from mine enemiesH341: yea, thou liftest me upH7311 above those that rise upH6965 against me: thou hast deliveredH5337 me from the violentH2555 manH376. {violent…: Heb. man of violence}
Therefore will I give thanksH3034 unto thee, O LORDH3068, among the heathenH1471, and sing praisesH2167 unto thy nameH8034. {give…: or, confess}
GreatH1431 deliveranceH3444 giveth he to his kingH4428; and shewethH6213 mercyH2617 to his anointedH4899, to DavidH1732, and to his seedH2233 forH5704 evermoreH5769.
NUN. Thy wordH1697 is a lampH5216 unto my feetH7272, and a lightH216 unto my pathH5410. {lamp: or, candle}
ButG1161 be yeG1096 doersG4163 of the wordG3056, andG2532 notG3361 hearersG202 onlyG3440, deceivingG3884 your own selvesG1438.
BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
And it came to pass, after the yearH8141 was expiredH8666, at the timeH6256 when kingsH4428+H4397 go forthH3318 to battle, that DavidH1732 sentH7971 JoabH3097, and his servantsH5650 with him, and all IsraelH3478; and they destroyedH7843 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and besiegedH6696 RabbahH7237. But DavidH1732 tarried stillH3427 at JerusalemH3389. {after…: Heb. at the return of the year}
And it came to pass in an eveningtideH6153+H6256, that DavidH1732 aroseH6965 from off his bedH4904, and walkedH1980 upon the roofH1406 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004: and from the roofH1406 he sawH7200 a womanH802 washingH7364 herself; and the womanH802 was veryH3966 beautifulH2896 to look uponH4758.
And DavidH1732 sentH7971 and enquiredH1875 after the womanH802. And one saidH559, Is not this BathshebaH1339, the daughterH1323 of EliamH463, the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850?
And DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397, and tookH3947 her; and she came inH935 unto him, and he layH7901 with her; for she was purifiedH6942 from her uncleannessH2932: and she returnedH7725 unto her houseH1004. {for she…: or, and when she had purified herself, etc, she returned}
And the womanH802 conceivedH2029, and sentH7971 and toldH5046 DavidH1732, and saidH559, I am with childH2030.
And DavidH1732 sentH7971 to JoabH3097, saying, SendH7971 me UriahH223 the HittiteH2850. And JoabH3097 sentH7971 UriahH223 to DavidH1732.
And when UriahH223 was comeH935 unto him, DavidH1732 demandedH7592 of him how JoabH3097 didH7965, and how the peopleH5971 didH7965, and how the warH4421 prosperedH7965. {how Joab…: Heb. of the peace of, etc}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to UriahH223, Go downH3381 to thy houseH1004, and washH7364 thy feetH7272. And UriahH223 departed outH3318 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and there followedH310 him a messH4864 of meat from the kingH4428. {followed…: Heb. went out after him}
But UriahH223 sleptH7901 at the doorH6607 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004 with all the servantsH5650 of his lordH113, and went not downH3381 to his houseH1004.
And when they had toldH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, UriahH223 went not downH3381 unto his houseH1004, DavidH1732 saidH559 unto UriahH223, CamestH935 thou not from thy journeyH1870? why then didst thou not go downH3381 unto thine houseH1004?
And UriahH223 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, The arkH727, and IsraelH3478, and JudahH3063, abideH3427 in tentsH5521; and my lordH113 JoabH3097, and the servantsH5650 of my lordH113, are encampedH2583 in the openH6440 fieldsH7704; shall IH589 then goH935 into mine houseH1004, to eatH398 and to drinkH8354, and to lieH7901 with my wifeH802? as thou livestH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not doH6213 this thingH1697.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to UriahH223, TarryH3427 here to dayH3117 also, and to morrowH4279 I will let thee departH7971. So UriahH223 abodeH3427 in JerusalemH3389 that dayH3117, and the morrowH4283.
And when DavidH1732 had calledH7121 him, he did eatH398 and drinkH8354 beforeH6440 him; and he made him drunkH7937: and at evenH6153 he went outH3318 to lieH7901 on his bedH4904 with the servantsH5650 of his lordH113, but went not downH3381 to his houseH1004.
And it came to pass in the morningH1242, that DavidH1732 wroteH3789 a letterH5612 to JoabH3097, and sentH7971 it by the handH3027 of UriahH223.
And he wroteH3789 in the letterH5612, sayingH559, SetH3051 ye UriahH223 in the forefrontH6440+H4136 of the hottestH2389 battleH4421, and retireH7725 ye from himH310, that he may be smittenH5221, and dieH4191. {hottest: Heb. strong} {from him: Heb. from after him}
And it came to pass, when JoabH3097 observedH8104 the cityH5892, that he assignedH5414 UriahH223 unto a placeH4725 where he knewH3045 that valiantH2428 menH582 were.
And the menH582 of the cityH5892 went outH3318, and foughtH3898 with JoabH3097: and there fellH5307 some of the peopleH5971 of the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732; and UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 diedH4191 also.
Then JoabH3097 sentH7971 and toldH5046 DavidH1732 all the thingsH1697 concerning the warH4421;
And chargedH6680 the messengerH4397, sayingH559, When thou hast made an endH3615 of tellingH1696 the mattersH1697 of the warH4421 unto the kingH4428,
And if so be that the king'sH4428 wrathH2534 ariseH5927, and he sayH559 unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nighH5066 unto the cityH5892 when ye did fightH3898? knewH3045 ye not that they would shootH3384 from the wallH2346?
Who smoteH5221 AbimelechH40 the sonH1121 of JerubbeshethH3380? did not a womanH802 castH7993 a pieceH6400 of a millstoneH7393 upon him from the wallH2346, that he diedH4191 in ThebezH8405? why went ye nighH5066 the wallH2346? then sayH559 thou, Thy servantH5650 UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 is deadH4191 also.
So the messengerH4397 wentH3212, and cameH935 and shewedH5046 DavidH1732 all that JoabH3097 had sentH7971 him for.
And the messengerH4397 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Surely the menH582 prevailedH1396 against us, and came outH3318 unto us into the fieldH7704, and we were upon them even unto the enteringH6607 of the gateH8179.
And the shootersH3384 shotH3384 from off the wallH2346 upon thy servantsH5650; and some of the king'sH4428 servantsH5650 be deadH4191, and thy servantH5650 UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 is deadH4191 also.
Then DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the messengerH4397, Thus shalt thou sayH559 unto JoabH3097, Let not this thingH1697 displeaseH3415+H5869 thee, for the swordH2719 devourethH398 one as well as anotherH2090: make thy battleH4421 more strongH2388 against the cityH5892, and overthrowH2040 it: and encourageH2388 thou him. {displease…: Heb. be evil in thine eyes} {one…: Heb. so and such}
And when the wifeH802 of UriahH223 heardH8085 that UriahH223 her husbandH376 was deadH4191, she mournedH5594 for her husbandH1167.
And when the mourningH60 was pastH5674, DavidH1732 sentH7971 and fetchedH622 her to his houseH1004, and she became his wifeH802, and bareH3205 him a sonH1121. But the thingH1697 that DavidH1732 had doneH6213 displeasedH3415+H5869 the LORDH3068. {displeased: Heb. was evil in the eyes of}
