Psalms 132:1 Cross References - LEB

¹ A song of ascents.*
O Yahweh, remember with regard to David all his affliction.*

¹ And God remembered Noah and all the wild animals, and all the domesticated animals that were with him in the ark. And God caused a wind to blow* over the earth, and the waters subsided.

²⁴ And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob,

¹ _⌊When_⌋* he finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan became attached to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. ² Saul took him on that very day and did not allow him to return to his father's house. ³ Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul. ⁴ Jonathan stripped off the robe _⌊that he was wearing_⌋* and gave it to David, along with his fighting attire,* and even his sword, his bow, and his belt. ⁵ David went out _⌊whenever_⌋* Saul sent him, and he succeeded. So Saul appointed him over the men of the war, and it _⌊pleased_⌋* all the people and even _⌊pleased_⌋* the servants of Saul. ⁶ _⌊When they were coming back_⌋* after David had returned from striking down the Philistine, the women went out from all the cities of Israel singing and dancing to meet King Saul with tambourines, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments. ⁷ And the women sang as they danced, and they said,
"Saul has struck down his thousands, but David his ten thousands!" ⁸ _⌊Saul became very angry_⌋,* and _⌊this saying displeased him_⌋,* and he thought, "They have attributed to David ten thousands, but to me they have attributed thousands! _⌊What more can he have but the kingdom_⌋?"* ⁹ So Saul was watching* David with suspicion from that day onward. ¹⁰ _⌊On_⌋* the next day, the evil spirit from God rushed upon Saul, and he prophesied in the middle of the house. Now David was playing the lyre with his hand on that day _⌊as usual_⌋,* and the spear was in Saul's hand. ¹¹ Then Saul hurled the spear and thought, "_⌊I will pin David to the wall_⌋."* But David eluded him twice. ¹² _⌊Now Saul was threatened by the presence of David_⌋* because Yahweh was with him, but had departed from Saul. ¹³ So Saul removed him _⌊from his presence_⌋,* and made him commander of a thousand, _⌊so he* marched in and out at the front of the army_⌋.* ¹⁴ And David was achieving success in all his ways and Yahweh was with him, ¹⁵ but when Saul saw that he was very successful, _⌊he was severely threatened by him_⌋.* ¹⁶ However, all of Israel and Judah were loving David, for he was going forth and marching ahead of them. ¹⁷ Then Saul said to David, "Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you as your wife. Only be _⌊a brave warrior_⌋* for me and fight the battles of Yahweh." For Saul thought, "My hand will not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him." ¹⁸ But David said to Saul, "Who am I, and who are my relatives, the clan of my father in Israel, that I should be a son-in-law to the king?" ¹⁹ _⌊But_⌋* at the time Saul's daughter Merab was to be given to David, she was given instead to Adriel the Meholathite as wife. ²⁰ Now Saul's daughter Michal loved David, so they told Saul, and the matter _⌊pleased him_⌋.* ²¹ And Saul thought, "I will give her to him, so that she may be a snare for him and the hand of the Philistines may be against him." So Saul said to David, "For a second time you can become my son-in-law today." ²² Then Saul commanded his servants, "Speak to David in secret, saying, 'Look, the king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you. So then, become a son-in-law of the king.'" ²³ And Saul's servants spoke these words _⌊to David privately_⌋.* But David said, "Is it insignificant _⌊in your sight_⌋* to become the son-in-law of the king, as I am a poor and lightly esteemed man?" ²⁴ So the servants of Saul informed him, saying, "_⌊This is what David said_⌋."* ²⁵ Then Saul said, "This is what you must say to David: '_⌊The king desires no bride price_⌋* except for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to avenge himself on the enemies of the king.'" (Now Saul had planned to allow David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.) ²⁶ So his servants told David these words, and the matter _⌊pleased David_⌋* to become the son-in-law of the king as _⌊the specified time had not expired_⌋.* ²⁷ And David got up, and he and his men went and struck down two hundred men of the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and _⌊they presented the full number_⌋* to become the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as his wife. ²⁸ When Saul _⌊realized_⌋* that Yahweh was with David and _⌊his own daughter Michal_⌋* loved him, ²⁹ Saul _⌊was threatened by David still more_⌋,* so Saul _⌊became a perpetual enemy of David_⌋.* ³⁰ Then the commanders of the Philistines went out for battle, and as often as they went out, David succeeded more than all the servants of Saul, and his name became very esteemed.

¹ It happened afterward that Absalom made himself a chariot with horses and fifty men running before him. ² Absalom used to rise early in the morning, and he stood _⌊beside_⌋* the road at the gate; _⌊anyone_⌋* who had a legal dispute to bring to the king for judgment Absalom would call to him and say, "_⌊Where are you from?_⌋"* And he would say, "Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel." ³ Then Absalom would say to him, "Look, your case is good and right, but for you there is no hearing with the king." ⁴ Then Absalom would say, "_⌊Oh, that someone would_⌋* appoint me as judge in the land, that _⌊anyone_⌋* might come to me who had a legal dispute or a case, and I would give him justice." ⁵ It happened whenever anyone drew near to do obeisance to him, that he would stretch his hand and take hold of him and kiss him. ⁶ Absalom did like this to all of Israel who came to the king for judgment; so Absalom stole the hearts* of the people of Israel. ⁷ It happened at the end of four* years that Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go and pay my vow which I have made to Yahweh in Hebron, ⁸ for your servant made a vow while I was staying in Geshur in Aram, saying, '_⌊If Yahweh will indeed let me return_⌋* to Jerusalem, then I will worship Yahweh.'" ⁹ Then the king said to him, "Go in peace." So he got up and went to Hebron. ¹⁰ Then Absalom sent scouts throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "When you hear the sound of the trumpet, you shall shout 'Absalom has become king in Hebron!'" ¹¹ Two hundred men from Jerusalem went with Absalom as invited guests, going in their innocence as they did not know anything. ¹² Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, the advisor of David, from his city Giloh, while he offered the sacrifices. The conspiracy _⌊grew in strength_⌋,* and the people were going and _⌊increasing_⌋* with Absalom. ¹³ Then the messenger came to David, saying, "The hearts* of the men of Israel have gone after Absalom." ¹⁴ Then David said to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem, "Get up and let us flee, for there will be no escape for us from Absalom! Hurry to go, otherwise he will come quickly and overtake us! And he will bring disaster on us and evil! He will attack the city with the edge of the sword!" ¹⁵ Then the servants of the king said to the king, "According to all that my lord the king chooses, _⌊your servants are ready to act_⌋!"* ¹⁶ The king went out with* all his household _⌊following him_⌋,* but the king left behind ten concubines to look after the house. ¹⁷ So the king went out with* all the people _⌊following him_⌋,* and they stopped _⌊at the last house_⌋.* ¹⁸ All his servants were passing _⌊by him_⌋:* all of the Kerethites and all of the Pelethites and all of the Gittites—six hundred men _⌊who had followed him_⌋* from Gath—passing _⌊before the king_⌋.* ¹⁹ The king said to Ittai the Gittite, "Why are you also coming with us? Return and stay with the king, for you are a foreigner; moreover, you are an exile. _⌊You are far from your place_⌋.* ²⁰ Yesterday when you came and _⌊today_⌋,* I have caused you to wander by going with us. Now I am going to where I am going; return and let your brothers return. May loyal love and faithfulness be with you."

⁶ Remember your compassion, O Yahweh, and your acts of loyal love, because they are from of old. ⁷ Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions. According to your loyal love remember me if you will, for the sake of your goodness, O Yahweh.
