1
H5046 [H8686]
Then they told
H1732
David,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H6430
Behold, the Philistines
H3898 [H8737]
fight
H7084
against Keilah,
H8154 [H8802]
and they plunder
H1637
the threshingfloors.
2
H1732
Therefore David
H7592 [H8799]
enquired
H3068
of the LORD,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H3212 [H8799]
Shall I go
H5221 [H8689]
and smite
H6430
these Philistines?
H3068
And the LORD
H559 [H8799]
said
H1732
to David,
H3212 [H8798]
Go,
H5221 [H8689]
and smite
H6430
the Philistines,
H3467 [H8689]
and liberate
H7084
Keilah.
3
H1732
And David's
H582
men
H559 [H8799]
said
H3373
to him, Behold, we are afraid
H3063
here in Judah:
H3212 [H8799]
how much more then if we come
H7084
to Keilah
H4634
against the armies
H6430
of the Philistines?
4
H1732
Then David
H7592 [H8800]
enquired
H3068
of the LORD
H3254 [H8686]
yet again.
H3068
And the LORD
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H559 [H8799]
him and said,
H6965 [H8798]
Arise,
H3381 [H8798]
go down
H7084
to Keilah;
H5414 [H8802]
for I will give
H6430
the Philistines
H3027
into thine hand.
5
H1732
So David
H582
and his men
H3212 [H8799]
went
H7084
to Keilah,
H3898 [H8735]
and fought
H6430
with the Philistines,
H5090 [H8799]
and brought away
H4735
their cattle,
H5221 [H8686]
and smote
H1419
them with a great
H4347
slaughter.
H1732
So David
H3467 [H8686]
liberated
H3427 [H8802]
the inhabitants
H7084
of Keilah.
6
H54
And it came to pass, when Abiathar
H1121
the son
H288
of Ahimelech
H1272 [H8800]
fled
H1732
to David
H7084
to Keilah,
H3381 [H8804]
that he came down
H646
with an ephod
H3027
in his hand.
7
H5046 [H8714]
And it was told
H7586
to Saul
H1732
that David
H935 [H8804]
had come
H7084
to Keilah.
H7586
And Saul
H559 [H8799]
said,
H430
God
H5234 [H8765]
hath delivered
H3027
him into my hand;
H5462 [H8738]
for he is shut in,
H935 [H8800]
by entering
H5892
into a town
H1817
that hath gates
H1280
and bars.
8
H7586
And Saul
H8085 0
called
H5971
all the people
H8085 [H8762]
together
H4421
to war,
H3381 [H8800]
to go down
H7084
to Keilah,
H6696 [H8800]
to besiege
H1732
David
H582
and his men.
9
H1732
And David
H3045 [H8799]
knew
H7586
that Saul
H2790 [H8688]
secretly devised
H7451
evil
H559 [H8799]
against him; and he said
H54
to Abiathar
H3548
the priest,
H5066 [H8685]
Bring here
H646
the ephod.
10
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H1732
David,
H3068
O LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel,
H5650
thy servant
H8085 [H8800]
hath certainly
H8085 [H8804]
heard
H7586
that Saul
H1245 [H8764]
seeketh
H935 [H8800]
to come
H7084
to Keilah,
H7843 [H8763]
to decay
H5892
the city for my sake.
11
H1167
Will the men
H7084
of Keilah
H5462 [H8686]
deliver me up
H3027
into his hand?
H7586
will Saul
H3381 [H8799]
come down,
H5650
as thy servant
H8085 [H8804]
hath heard?
H3068
O LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel,
H5046 [H8685]
I beseech thee, tell
H5650
thy servant.
H3068
And the LORD
H559 [H8799]
said,
H3381 [H8799]
He will come down.
12
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H1732
David,
H1167
Will the men
H7084
of Keilah
H5462 [H8686]
deliver
H582
me and my men
H3027
into the hand
H7586
of Saul?
H3068
And the LORD
H559 [H8799]
said,
H5462 [H8686]
They will deliver thee up.
13
H1732
Then David
H582
and his men,
H8337
who were about six
H3967 H376
hundred,
H6965 [H8799]
arose
H3318 [H8799]
and departed
H7084
from Keilah,
H1980 [H8691]
and went
H834
wherever
H1980 [H8691]
they could go.
H5046 [H8717]
And it was told
H7586
Saul
H1732
that David
H4422 [H8738]
had escaped
H7084
from Keilah;
H2308 [H8799]
and he did not
H3318 [H8800]
go there.
14
H1732
And David
H3427 [H8799]
abode
H4057
in the wilderness
H4679
in strong holds,
H3427 [H8799]
and remained
H2022
in a mountain
H4057
in the wilderness
H2128
of Ziph.
H7586
And Saul
H1245 [H8762]
sought
H3117
him every day,
H430
but God
H5414 [H8804]
gave
H3027
him not into his hand.
15
H1732
And David
H7200 [H8799]
saw
H7586
that Saul
H3318 [H8804]
had come out
H1245 [H8763]
to seek
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 [H8799]
arose,
H3212 [H8799]
and went
H1732
to David
H2793
into the wood,
H2388 [H8762]
and strengthened
H3027
his hand
H430
in God.
17
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H3372 [H8799]
to him, Fear
H3027
not: for the hand
H7586
of Saul
H1
my father
H4672 [H8799]
shall not find
H4427 [H8799]
thee; and thou shalt be king
H3478
over Israel,
H4932
and I shall be next
H7586
to thee; and that also Saul
H1
my father
H3045 [H8802]
knoweth.
18
H8147
And they two
H3772 [H8799]
made
H1285
a covenant
H6440
at the face of
H3068
the LORD:
H1732
and David
H3427 [H8799]
abode
H2793
in the wood,
H3083
and Jonathan
H1980 [H8804]
went
H1004
to his house.
19
H5927 [H8799]
Then came up
H2130
the Ziphites
H7586
to Saul
H1390
to Gibeah,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H1732
Doth not David
H5641 [H8693]
hide
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 [H8798]
come down
H185
according to all the desire
H5315
of thy breath
H3381 [H8800]
to come down;
H5462 [H8687]
and our part shall be to deliver
H4428
him into the king's
H3027
hand.
21
H7586
And Saul
H559 [H8799]
said,
H1288 [H8803]
Blessed
H3068
be ye of the LORD;
H2550 [H8804]
for ye have commiseration on me.
22
H3212 [H8798]
Go,
H3559 [H8685]
I pray you, prepare
H3045 [H8798]
yet, and know
H7200 [H8798]
and see
H4725
his place
H7272
where his haunt
H7200 [H8804]
is, and who hath seen
H559 [H8804]
him there: for it is told
H6191 [H8800]
to me that he dealeth very
H6191 [H8686]
subtilly.
23
H7200 [H8798]
See
H3045 [H8798]
therefore, and take knowledge
H4224
of all the lurking places
H2244 [H8691]
where he hideth
H7725 [H8804]
himself, and come ye again
H3559 [H8737]
to me with the certainty,
H1980 [H8804]
and I will go
H3426
with you: and it shall come to pass, if he is
H776
in the land,
H2664 [H8765]
that I will search
H505
him out throughout all the thousands
H3063
of Judah.
24
H6965 [H8799]
And they arose,
H3212 [H8799]
and went
H2128
to Ziph
H6440
at the face of
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 [H8799]
went
H1245 [H8763]
to seek
H5046 [H8686]
him. And they told
H1732
David:
H3381 [H8799]
therefore he came down
H5553
into a rock,
H3427 [H8799]
and abode
H4057
in the wilderness
H4584
of Maon.
H7586
And when Saul
H8085 [H8799]
heard
H7291 [H8799]
that, he pursued
H310
after
H1732
David
H4057
in the wilderness
H4584
of Maon.
26
H7586
And Saul
H3212 [H8799]
went
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 [H8737]
made haste
H3212 [H8800]
to get away
H6440
for fear
H7586
of Saul;
H7586
for Saul
H582
and his men
H5849 0
surrounded
H1732
David
H582
and his men
H5849 [H8802]
on all sides
H8610 [H8800]
to take them.
27
H935 [H8804]
But there came
H4397
a messenger
H7586
to Saul,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H4116 [H8761]
Haste
H3212 [H8798]
thee, and come;
H6430
for the Philistines
H6584 [H8804]
have invaded
H776
the land.
