1SA-26:1 And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying,

Doth not David

hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, [which is] before Jeshimon?

1SA-26:2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of

Ziph, having

three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in

the wilderness

of Ziph.

1SA-26:3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which [is]

before

Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he

saw that Saul

came after him into the wilderness.

1SA-26:4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that

Saul was come in

very deed.

1SA-26:5 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had

pitched: and

David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner,

the captain

of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched

round about

him.

1SA-26:6 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite,

and to

Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go

down with me

to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.

1SA-26:7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and,

behold, Saul

lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the

ground at his

bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him.

1SA-26:8 Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine

enemy into

thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee,

with the

spear even to the earth at once, and I will not [smite] him the

second time.

1SA-26:9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who

can stretch

forth his hand against the LORD'S anointed, and be guiltless?

1SA-26:10 David said furthermore, [As] the LORD liveth, the

LORD shall smite

him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into

battle, and

perish.

1SA-26:11 The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand

against the

LORD'S anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that

[is] at his

bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.

1SA-26:12 So David took the spear and the cruse of water from

Saul's bolster;

and they gat them away, and no man saw [it], nor knew [it],

neither awaked:

for they [were] all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD

was fallen upon

them.

1SA-26:13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on

the top of an

hill afar off; a great space [being] between them:

1SA-26:14 And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son

of Ner, saying,

Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who

[art] thou [that]

criest to the king?

1SA-26:15 And David said to Abner, [Art] not thou a [valiant]

man? and who

[is] like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept

thy lord the

king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king

thy lord.

1SA-26:16 This thing [is] not good that thou hast done. [As]

the LORD liveth,

ye [are] worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master,

the LORD'S

anointed. And now see where the king's spear [is], and the cruse

of water that

[was] at his bolster.

1SA-26:17 And Saul knew David's voice, and said, [Is] this thy

voice, my son

David? And David said, [It is] my voice, my lord, O king.

1SA-26:18 And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after

his servant?

for what have I done? or what evil [is] in mine hand?

1SA-26:19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear

the words of

his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let

him accept an

offering: but if [they be] the children of men, cursed [be] they

before the

LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the

inheritance of

the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.

1SA-26:20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth

before the face

of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea,

as when one

doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.

1SA-26:21 Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David:

for I will no

more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes

this day:

behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.

1SA-26:22 And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear!

and let one

of the young men come over and fetch it.

1SA-26:23 The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his

faithfulness: for the LORD delivered thee into [my] hand to day,

but I would

not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD'S anointed.

1SA-26:24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in

mine eyes, so

let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him

deliver me out

of all tribulation.

1SA-26:25 Then Saul said to David, Blessed [be] thou, my son

David: thou

shalt both do great [things], and also shalt still prevail. So

David went on

his way, and Saul returned to his place.
