H5046
Then they told
[H8686]
H1732
David
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H6430
, Behold, the Philistines
H3898
fight
[H8737]
H7084
against Keilah
H8154
, and they rob
[H8802]
H1637
the threshingfloors.
2
H1732
Therefore David
H7592
enquired
[H8799]
H3068
of the LORD
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H3212
, Shall I go
[H8799]
H5221
and smite
[H8689]
H6430
these Philistines
H3068
? And the LORD
H559
said
[H8799]
H1732
unto David
H3212
, Go
[H8798]
H5221
, and smite
[H8689]
H6430
the Philistines
H3467
, and save
[H8689]
H7084
Keilah.
3
H1732
And David's
H582
men
H559
said
[H8799]
H3373
unto him, Behold, we be afraid
H3063
here in Judah
H3212
: how much more then if we come
[H8799]
H7084
to Keilah
H4634
against the armies
H6430
of the Philistines?
4
H1732
Then David
H7592
enquired
[H8800]
H3068
of the LORD
H3254
yet again
[H8686]
H3068
. And the LORD
H6030
answered
[H8799]
H559
him and said
[H8799]
H6965
, Arise
[H8798]
H3381
, go down
[H8798]
H7084
to Keilah
H5414
; for I will deliver
[H8802]
H6430
the Philistines
H3027
into thine hand.
5
H1732
So David
H582
and his men
H3212
went
[H8799]
H7084
to Keilah
H3898
, and fought
[H8735]
H6430
with the Philistines
H5090
, and brought away
[H8799]
H4735
their cattle
H5221
, and smote
[H8686]
H1419
them with a great
H4347
slaughter
H1732
. So David
H3467
saved
[H8686]
H3427
the inhabitants
[H8802]
H7084
of Keilah.
6
H54
And it came to pass, when Abiathar
H1121
the son
H288
of Ahimelech
H1272
fled
[H8800]
H1732
to David
H7084
to Keilah
H3381
, that he came down
[H8804]
H646
with an ephod
H3027
in his hand.
7
H5046
And it was told
[H8714]
H7586
Saul
H1732
that David
H935
was come
[H8804]
H7084
to Keilah
H7586
. And Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H430
, God
H5234
hath delivered
[H8765]
H3027
him into mine hand
H5462
; for he is shut in
[H8738]
H935
, by entering
[H8800]
H5892
into a town
H1817
that hath gates
H1280
and bars.
8
H7586
And Saul
H8085
called
H5971
all the people
H8085
together
[H8762]
H4421
to war
H3381
, to go down
[H8800]
H7084
to Keilah
H6696
, to besiege
[H8800]
H1732
David
H582
and his men.
9
H1732
And David
H3045
knew
[H8799]
H7586
that Saul
H2790
secretly practised
[H8688]
H7451
mischief
H559
against him; and he said
[H8799]
H54
to Abiathar
H3548
the priest
H5066
, Bring hither
[H8685]
H646
the ephod.
10
H559
Then said
[H8799]
H1732
David
H3068
, O LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H5650
, thy servant
H8085
hath certainly
[H8800]
H8085
heard
[H8804]
H7586
that Saul
H1245
seeketh
[H8764]
H935
to come
[H8800]
H7084
to Keilah
H7843
, to destroy
[H8763]
H5892
the city for my sake.
11
H1167
Will the men
H7084
of Keilah
H5462
deliver me up
[H8686]
H3027
into his hand
H7586
? will Saul
H3381
come down
[H8799]
H5650
, as thy servant
H8085
hath heard
[H8804]
H3068
? O LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H5046
, I beseech thee, tell
[H8685]
H5650
thy servant
H3068
. And the LORD
H559
said
[H8799]
H3381
, He will come down
[H8799]
.
12
H559
Then said
[H8799]
H1732
David
H1167
, Will the men
H7084
of Keilah
H5462
deliver
[H8686]
H582
me and my men
H3027
into the hand
H7586
of Saul
H3068
? And the LORD
H559
said
[H8799]
H5462
, They will deliver thee up
[H8686]
.
13
H1732
Then David
H582
and his men
H8337
, which were about six
H3967
hundred
H376
H6965
, arose
[H8799]
H3318
and departed
[H8799]
H7084
out of Keilah
H1980
, and went
[H8691]
H834
whithersoever
H1980
they could go
[H8691]
H5046
. And it was told
[H8717]
H7586
Saul
H1732
that David
H4422
was escaped
[H8738]
H7084
from Keilah
H2308
; and he forbare
[H8799]
H3318
to go forth
[H8800]
.
14
H1732
And David
H3427
abode
[H8799]
H4057
in the wilderness
H4679
in strong holds
H3427
, and remained
[H8799]
H2022
in a mountain
H4057
in the wilderness
H2128
of Ziph
H7586
. And Saul
H1245
sought
[H8762]
H3117
him every day
H430
, but God
H5414
delivered
[H8804]
H3027
him not into his hand.
15
H1732
And David
H7200
saw
[H8799]
H7586
that Saul
H3318
was come out
[H8804]
H1245
to seek
[H8763]
H5315
his life
H1732
: and David
H4057
was in the wilderness
H2128
of Ziph
H2793
in a wood.
16
H3083
And Jonathan
H7586
Saul's
H1121
son
H6965
arose
[H8799]
H3212
, and went
[H8799]
H1732
to David
H2793
into the wood
H2388
, and strengthened
[H8762]
H3027
his hand
H430
in God.
17
H559
And he said
[H8799]
H3372
unto him, Fear
[H8799]
H3027
not: for the hand
H7586
of Saul
H1
my father
H4672
shall not find
[H8799]
H4427
thee; and thou shalt be king
[H8799]
H3478
over Israel
H4932
, and I shall be next
H7586
unto thee; and that also Saul
H1
my father
H3045
knoweth
[H8802]
.
18
H8147
And they two
H3772
made
[H8799]
H1285
a covenant
H6440
before
H3068
the LORD
H1732
: and David
H3427
abode
[H8799]
H2793
in the wood
H3083
, and Jonathan
H1980
went
[H8804]
H1004
to his house.
19
H5927
Then came up
[H8799]
H2130
the Ziphites
H7586
to Saul
H1390
to Gibeah
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H1732
, Doth not David
H5641
hide
[H8693]
H4679
himself with us in strong holds
H2793
in the wood
H1389
, in the hill
H2444
of Hachilah
H3225
, which is on the south
H3452
of Jeshimon?
20
H4428
Now therefore, O king
H3381
, come down
[H8798]
H185
according to all the desire
H5315
of thy soul
H3381
to come down
[H8800]
H5462
; and our part shall be to deliver
[H8687]
H4428
him into the king's
H3027
hand.
21
H7586
And Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H1288
, Blessed
[H8803]
H3068
be ye of the LORD
H2550
; for ye have compassion
[H8804]
on me.
22
H3212
Go
[H8798]
H3559
, I pray you, prepare
[H8685]
H3045
yet, and know
[H8798]
H7200
and see
[H8798]
H4725
his place
H7272
where his haunt
H7200
is, and who hath seen
[H8804]
H559
him there: for it is told
[H8804]
H6191
me that he dealeth very
[H8800]
H6191
subtilly
[H8686]
.
23
H7200
See
[H8798]
H3045
therefore, and take knowledge
[H8798]
H4224
of all the lurking places
H2244
where he hideth
[H8691]
H7725
himself, and come ye again
[H8804]
H3559
to me with the certainty
[H8737]
H1980
, and I will go
[H8804]
H3426
with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be
H776
in the land
H2664
, that I will search
[H8765]
H505
him out throughout all the thousands
H3063
of Judah.
24
H6965
And they arose
[H8799]
H3212
, and went
[H8799]
H2128
to Ziph
H6440
before
H7586
Saul
H1732
: but David
H582
and his men
H4057
were in the wilderness
H4584
of Maon
H6160
, in the plain
H3225
on the south
H3452
of Jeshimon.
25
H7586
Saul
H582
also and his men
H3212
went
[H8799]
H1245
to seek
[H8763]
H5046
him . And they told
[H8686]
H1732
David
H3381
: wherefore he came down
[H8799]
H5553
into a rock
H3427
, and abode
[H8799]
H4057
in the wilderness
H4584
of Maon
H7586
. And when Saul
H8085
heard
[H8799]
H7291
that, he pursued
[H8799]
H310
after
H1732
David
H4057
in the wilderness
H4584
of Maon.
26
H7586
And Saul
H3212
went
[H8799]
H6654
on this side
H2022
of the mountain
H1732
, and David
H582
and his men
H6654
on that side
H2022
of the mountain
H1732
: and David
H2648
made haste
[H8737]
H3212
to get away
[H8800]
H6440
for fear
H7586
of Saul
H7586
; for Saul
H582
and his men
H5849
compassed
H1732
David
H582
and his men
H5849
round about
[H8802]
H8610
to take
[H8800]
them.
27
H935
But there came
[H8804]
H4397
a messenger
H7586
unto Saul
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H4116
, Haste
[H8761]
H3212
thee, and come
[H8798]
H6430
; for the Philistines
H6584
have invaded
[H8804]
H776
the land.
