And Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, Unless you save your life this night, tomorrow you shall be slain. ¹² So Michal let David down by the window, and he departed, and fled, and escaped.

¹² So Michal let David down by the window, and he departed, and fled, and escaped. ¹³ And Michal took images, and laid them on the bed, and she put the liver of a goat by his head, and covered them with clothes. ¹⁴ And when Saul sent messengers to take David, they said that he was sick. ¹⁵ And he sent for David, saying, Bring him to me on the bed, that I may kill him. ¹⁶ And the messengers came, and behold, the images were on the bed, and the goat's liver at his head. ¹⁷ And Saul said to Michal, Why have you thus deceived me, and allowed my enemy to depart, and he has escaped? And Michal said to Saul, He said, let me go, and if not, I will kill you.

⁸ And you shall deal mercifully with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the Lord with yourself. And if there is iniquity in your servant, then kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?

¹⁴ And if indeed I continue to live, then shall you deal mercifully with me; and if I indeed die, ¹⁵ you shall not withdraw your mercy from my house forever, And if you do not, when the Lord cuts off the enemies of David, each from the face of the earth, ^{16 (20:15A)} should it happen that the name of Jonathan be discovered by the house of David, then let the Lord seek out the enemies of David. ¹⁷ And Jonathan swore yet again to David, because he loved the soul of him that loved him.

¹⁴ And he dwelt in Maserim in the wilderness, in the narrow passes; and dwelt in the wilderness in Mount Ziph, in the dry country. And Saul sought him continually, but the Lord delivered him not into his hands.

^{21 (24:22)} Now then swear to me by the Lord, that you will not destroy my seed after me, that you will not blot out my name from the house of my father. ^{22 (24:23)} So David swore to Saul. And Saul departed to his place, and David and his men went up to the stronghold of Messera.

¹⁵ And David said to him, Will you bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear now to me by God, that you will not kill me, and that you will not deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down upon this troop.

¹⁶ And David said to him, Your blood be upon your own head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I have slain the anointed of the Lord.

²⁸ And David heard of it afterwards, and said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord, even forever, of the blood of Abner the son of Ner. ²⁹ Let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all the house of his father; and let there not be wanting of the house of Joab one that has an issue, or a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that wants bread.

¹¹ And now evil men have slain a righteous men in his house, and on his bed. Now then, I will require his blood from your hand, and I will destroy you from off the earth.

¹⁸ And Hushai said to Absalom, No, but following whom the Lord, and this people, and all Israel have chosen — his will I be, and with him I will dwell. ¹⁹ And again, whom shall I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son? As I served in the sight of your father, so will I be in your presence.

¹⁰ Then even he that is strong, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, it shall utterly melt: for all Israel knows that your father is mighty, and they that are with him are mighty men.

¹ And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the Lord. And the Lord said, There is guilt upon Saul and his house because of his bloody murder, whereby he slew the Gibeonites. ² So King David called the Gibeonites, and said to them (now the Gibeonites are not the children of Israel, but are of the remnant of the Amorite, and the children of Israel had sworn to them; but Saul sought to smite them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah).

⁷ But the king spared Memphibosheth son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord that was between them, even between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.

³⁶ And the king called Shimei, and said to him, Build yourself a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and you shall not go out from there anywhere. ³⁷ And it shall come to pass in the day that you shall go forth and cross over the Brook Kidron, know assuredly that you shall certainly die: your blood shall be upon your head. And the king caused him to swear in that day. ³⁸ And Shimei said to the king, Good is the word that you have spoken, my lord O king: thus will your servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem three years. ³⁹ And it came to pass after the three years, that two servants of Shimei ran away to Achish son of Maacha king of Gath. And it was told Shimei, saying, Behold, your servants are in Gath. ⁴⁰ And Shimei rose up, and saddled his donkey, and went to Gath, to Achish, to seek out his servants. And Shimei went, and brought his servants out of Gath. ⁴¹ And it was told Solomon, saying, Shimei has gone out of Jerusalem to Gath, and has brought back his servants. ⁴² And the king sent and called Shimei, and said to him, Did I not adjure you by the Lord, and testify to you, saying, In whatsoever day you shall go out of Jerusalem, and go to the right or left, know certainly that you shall surely die?

⁴ And it came to pass when Jezabel had killed the prophets of the Lord, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifties in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.

¹³ Has it not been told to you my lord, what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the Lord, how that I hid a hundred men of the prophets of the Lord, by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?

³⁹ And it came to pass as the king passed by, that he cried aloud to the king, and said, Your servant went out to war, and behold, a man brought another man to me, and said to me, Guard this man; and if he should by any means escape, then your life shall go for his life, or you shall pay a talent of silver.

¹⁵ And he and all his company returned to Elisha, and he came and stood before him, and said, Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth, save only in Israel; and now receive a blessing from your servant.

¹⁹ And Elisha said to them, This is not the city, and this is not the way: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek. And he led them away to Samaria.

⁶ For the Lord had made the Syrian army to hear a sound of chariots, and a sound of horses, even the sound of a great army. And each man said to his fellow, Now has the king of Israel hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Egypt, to come against us.

² And Jehosheba daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of her brother, and stole him from among the king's sons that were put to death, and hid him and his nurse in the bedchamber from the face of Athaliah, and he was not slain.

¹⁹ And it came to pass, when the gates were set up in Jerusalem, before the Sabbath, that I spoke, and they shut the gates; and I gave orders that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath. And I set some of my servants at the gates, that none should bring in burdens on the Sabbath day.

⁶ For how shall I be able to look upon the affliction of my people, and how shall I be able to survive the destruction of my relatives?

²⁵ For I know that He is eternal who is about to deliver me,

³⁰ For the wicked hastens to the day of destruction: they shall be led away for the day of His vengeance.

¹ For the end, A Psalm of David. In the Lord I have put my trust: how will you say to my soul, Flee to the mountains as a sparrow?

¹⁴ I am poured out like water, and all My bones are loosened; My heart in the midst of My belly has become like melting wax.

⁶ Therefore shall every holy one pray to You in a fit time; only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come near to Him. ⁷ You are my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. Pause.

⁵ They saw, and so they wondered; they were troubled, they were moved. ⁶ Trembling took hold of them; there were the pangs as of a woman in travail.

¹⁰ The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away; the desire of the sinner shall perish.

¹⁶ The heaven of heavens belongs to the Lord; but He has given the earth to the sons of men.

¹¹ And your gates shall be opened continually; they shall not be shut, day or night; to bring in to you the power of the Gentiles, and their kings as captives.

¹⁹ O Lord, You are my strength and my help, and my refuge in days of evil. To You the Gentiles shall come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, How worthless were the idols which our fathers procured for themselves, and there is no help in them. ²⁰ Will a man make gods for himself, whereas these are no gods? ²¹ Therefore behold, I will at this time manifest My hand to them, and will make known to them My power; and they shall know that My name is the Lord.

So they began with the elder men who were within in the house.

⁴ and he that hears the sound of the trumpet shall hear, and yet not take heed, and the sword shall come upon him, and overtake him, his blood shall be upon his own head. ⁵ Because he heard the sound of the trumpet, and took no heed, his blood shall be upon him.

⁷ For if by my lie the truth of God has abounded to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? ⁸ And why not say, "Let us do evil so that good may come"?--just as we are slandered, and just as some affirm that we say. The judgment of whom is just.
