Hannah <02584 +Channah > , and the name <08034 +shem > of the

but Hannah <02584 +Channah > had no <00369 +>ayin > children

01 : 03 And this <01931 +huw> > man <00376 +>iysh > went <05927

01 : 04 And when the time <03117 +yowm > was that Elkanah <00511

01 : 05 But unto Hannah <02584 +Channah > he gave <05414 +nathan >
a worthy <00639 +>aph > portion <04490 +manah > ; for he loved
<00157 +>ahab > Hannah <02584 +Channah > : but the LORD <03068

01 : 06 And her adversary <06869 +tsarah > also <01571 +gam >
provoked <03707 +ka<ac > her sore <03708 +ka<ac > , for to make
her fret <07481 +ra<am > , because <03588 +kiy > the LORD <03068

01 : 07 And [ as ] he did <06213 +<asah > so <03651 +ken > year

she went <05927 +<alah > up to the house <01004 +bayith > of the

01 : 08 Then said <00559 +>amar > Elkanah <00511 +>Elqanah > her

better <02896 +towb > to thee than ten <06235 +<eser > sons <01121

01 : 09 . So Hannah <02584 +Channah > rose <06965 +quwm > up
after <00310 +>achar > they had eaten <00398 +>akal > in Shiloh

post <04201 +m@zuwzah > of the temple <01964 +heykal > of the LORD

01 : 10 And she [ was ] in bitterness <04751 +mar > of soul
<05315 +nephesh > , and prayed <06419 +palal > unto the LORD

01 : 11 And she vowed <05087 +nadar > a vow <05088 +neder > , and
said <00559 +>amar > , O LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > of hosts <06635

01 : 12 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , as she continued
<07235 +rabah > praying <06419 +palal > before <06440 +paniym >
the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , that Eli <05941 +<Eliy > marked

01 : 13 Now Hannah <02584 +Channah > , she spake <01696 +dabar >
in her heart <03820 +leb > ; only <07535 +raq > her lips <08193

was not heard <08085 +shama< > : therefore Eli <05941 +<Eliy >
thought <02803 +chashab > she had been drunken <07910 +shikkowr >
.
01 : 14 And Eli <05941 +<Eliy > said <00559 +>amar > unto her ,
How <05704 +<ad > long <03117 +yowm > wilt thou be drunken <07937

01 : 15 And Hannah <02584 +Channah > answered <06030 +<anah > and
said <00559 +>amar > , No <03808 +lo> > , my lord <00113

01 : 16 Count <05414 +nathan > not thine handmaid <00519 +>amah >
for a daughter <01323 +bath > of Belial <01100 +b@liya<al > : for
out of the abundance <07230 +rob > of my complaint <07878 +siyach

.
01 : 17 Then Eli <05941 +<Eliy > answered <06030 +<anah > and said
<00559 +>amar > , Go <03212 +yalak > in peace <07965 +shalowm >

that thou hast asked <07592 +sha>al > of him .
01 : 18 And she said <00559 +>amar > , Let thine handmaid <08198

01 : 19 . And they rose <07925 +shakam > up in the morning <01242

returned <07725 +shuwb > , and came <00935 +bow> > to their house

01 : 20 Wherefore it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when the time

his name <08034 +shem > Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > , [ saying ]
, Because <03588 +kiy > I have asked <07592 +sha>al > him of the

01 : 21 And the man <00376 +>iysh > Elkanah <00511 +>Elqanah > ,

01 : 22 But Hannah <02584 +Channah > went <05927 +<alah > not up ;
for she said <00559 +>amar > unto her husband <00376 +>iysh > ,
[ I will not go up ] until <05704 +<ad > the child <05288 +na<ar

01 : 23 And Elkanah <00511 +>Elqanah > her husband <00376 +>iysh >
said <00559 +>amar > unto her , Do <06213 +<asah > what seemeth

01 : 24 And when <00834 +>aher > she had weaned <01580 +gamal >

<05288 +na<ar > [ was ] young <05288 +na<ar > .
01 : 25 And they slew <07819 +shachat > a bullock <06499 +par > ,
and brought <00935 +bow> > the child <05288 +na<ar > to Eli <05941

01 : 26 And she said <00559 +>amar > , Oh <00994 +biy > my lord

01 : 27 For this <02088 +zeh > child <05288 +na<ar > I prayed
<06419 +palal > ; and the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > hath given

LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > there <08033 +sham > .
02 : 01 . And Hannah <02584 +Channah > prayed <06419 +palal > ,

02 : 02 [ There is ] none <00369 +>ayin > holy <06918 +qadowsh >

02 : 04 The bows <07198 +qesheth > of the mighty <01368 +gibbowr >

02 : 05 [ They that were ] full <07646 +saba< > have hired <07936

02 : 06 The LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > killeth <04191 +muwth > , and
maketh alive <02421 +chayah > : he bringeth <03381 +yarad > down

02 : 07 The LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > maketh poor <03423 +yarash > ,

02 : 10 The adversaries <07378 +riyb > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah

02 : 11 . And Elkanah <00511 +>Elqanah > went <03212 +yalak > to
Ramah <07414 +Ramah > to his house <01004 +bayith > . And the

02 : 12 Now the sons <01121 +ben > of Eli <05941 +<Eliy > [ were

02 : 13 And the priests <03548 +kohen > custom <04941 +mishpat >

02 : 15 Also <01571 +gam > before <02962 +terem > they burnt

02 : 16 And [ if ] any man <00376 +>iysh > said <00559 +>amar >

02 : 17 Wherefore the sin <02403 +chatta>ah > of the young <05288

03 : 02 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass at that time <03117

03 : 04 That the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > called <07121 +qara> >
Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > : and he answered <00559 +>amar > ,
Here <02009 +hinneh > [ am ] I .
03 : 05 And he ran <07323 +ruwts > unto Eli <05941 +<Eliy > , and

lay <07901 +shakab > down <07901 +shakab > .
03 : 06 And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > called <07121 +qara> > yet

03 : 07 Now Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > did not yet <02962 +terem >

03 : 08 And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > called <07121 +qara> >

03 : 10 And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > came <00935 +bow> > , and

03 : 11 . And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > said <00559 +>amar > to

03 : 12 In that day <03117 +yowm > I will perform <06965 +quwm >

03 : 13 For I have told <05046 +nagad > him that I will judge

03 : 14 And therefore I have sworn <07650 +shaba< > unto the house

03 : 15 And Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > lay <07901 +shakab > until

03 : 21 And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > appeared <07200 +ra>ah >

14 : 15 And there was trembling <02731 +charadah > in the host

14 : 38 And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > said <00559 +>amar > , Draw ye

14 : 39 For , [ as ] the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > liveth <02416

14 : 40 Then said <00559 +>amar > he unto all <03605 +kol > Israel

14 : 43 Then Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > said <00559 +>amar > to
Jonathan <03129 +Yownathan > , Tell <05046 +nagad > me what

14 : 44 And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > answered <00559 +>amar > , God

14 : 45 And the people <05971 +<am > said <00559 +>amar > unto

<05971 +<am > rescued <06299 +padah > Jonathan <03129 +Yownathan

14 : 46 Then Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > went <05927 +<alah > up from

and the Philistines <06430 +P@lishtiy > went <01980 +halak > to
their own place <04725 +maqowm > .
14 : 47 . So Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > took <03920 +lakad > the

14 : 48 And he gathered <06213 +<asah > an host <02428 +chayil > ,

14 : 49 Now the sons <01121 +ben > of Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > were

14 : 52 And there was sore <02389 +chazaq > war <04421 +milchamah

15 : 01 . Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > also said <00559 +>amar >

15 : 02 Thus <03541 +koh > saith <00559 +>amar > the LORD <03068

15 : 03 Now <06258 +<attah > go <03212 +yalak > and smite <05221

15 : 04 And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > gathered <08085 +shama< > the

So the Kenites <07017 +Qeyniy > departed <05493 +cuwr > from among

15 : 07 And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > smote <05221 +nakah > the

15 : 08 And he took <08610 +taphas > Agag <90> the king <04428

15 : 09 But Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > and the people <05971 +<am >

15 : 19 Wherefore <04100 +mah > then didst thou not obey <08085

15 : 20 And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > said <00559 +>amar > unto
Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > , Yea <00834 +>aher > , I have obeyed
<08085 +shama< > the voice <06963 +qowl > of the LORD <03068

15 : 21 But the people <05971 +<am > took <03947 +laqach > of the
spoil <07998 +shalal > , sheep <06629 +tso>n > and oxen <01241

15 : 22 And Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > said <00559 +>amar > ,
Hath the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > [ as great <01419 +gadowl > ]
delight <02656 +chephets > in burnt <05930 +<olah > offerings and
sacrifices <02077 +zebach > , as in obeying <08085 +shama< > the
voice <06963 +qowl > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > ? Behold
<02009 +hinneh > , to obey <08085 +shama< > [ is ] better
<02896 +towb > than sacrifice <02077 +zebach > , [ and ] to
hearken <07181 +qashab > than the fat <02459 +cheleb > of rams
<00352 +>ayil > .
15 : 23 For rebellion <04805 +m@riy > [ is as ] the sin <02403

<06484 +patsar > [ is as ] iniquity <00205 +>aven > and idolatry
<08655 +t@raphiym > . Because <03282 +ya<an > thou hast rejected

15 : 24 . And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > said <00559 +>amar > unto
Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > , I have sinned <02398 +chata> > : for
I have transgressed <05674 +<abar > the commandment <06310 +peh >
of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , and thy words <01697 +dabar > :
because <03588 +kiy > I feared <03372 +yare> > the people <05971

15 : 25 Now <06258 +<attah > therefore , I pray <04994 +na> >
thee , pardon <05375 +nasa> > my sin <02403 +chatta>ah > , and
turn <07725 +shuwb > again <07725 +shuwb > with me , that I may
worship <07812 +shachah > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > .
15 : 26 And Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > said <00559 +>amar > unto
Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > , I will not return <07725 +shuwb > with

+Y@hovah > hath rejected <03988 +ma>ac > thee from being king
<04428 +melek > over <05921 +<al > Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > .
15 : 27 And as Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > turned <05437 +cabab >
about <05437 +cabab > to go <03212 +yalak > away , he laid hold

<04598 +m@<iyl > , and it rent <07167 +qara< > .
15 : 28 And Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > said <00559 +>amar > unto
him , The LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > hath rent <07167 +qara< > the

15 : 29 And also <01571 +gam > the Strength <05331 +netsach > of
Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > will not lie <08266 +shaqar > nor <03808

15 : 30 Then he said <00559 +>amar > , I have sinned <02398

15 : 31 So Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > turned <07725 +shuwb > again

15 : 32 . Then said <00559 +>amar > Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > ,
Bring <05066 +nagash > ye hither <05066 +nagash > to me Agag <90>

And Agag <90> came <01980 +halak > unto him delicately <04574

past <05493 +cuwr > .
15 : 33 And Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > said <00559 +>amar > , As

15 : 34 Then Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > went <03212 +yalak > to
Ramah <07414 +Ramah > ; and Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > went <05927

15 : 35 And Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > came no <03808 +lo> > more

16 : 01 . And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > said <00559 +>amar >
unto Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > , How <05704 +<ad > long <05704

16 : 02 And Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > said <00559 +>amar > , How

16 : 03 And call <07121 +qara> > Jesse <03448 +Yishay > to the

16 : 04 And Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > did <06213 +<asah > that

16 : 05 And he said <00559 +>amar > , Peaceably <07965 +shalowm >

16 : 08 Then Jesse <03448 +Yishay > called <07121 +qara> >
Abinadab <41> , and made him pass <05674 +<abar > before <06440

17 : 48 . And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when <03588 +kiy

hasted , and ran <07323 +ruwts > toward the army <04634

17 : 49 And David <01732 +David > put <07971 +shalach > his hand

17 : 50 So David <01732 +David > prevailed <02388 +chazaq > over

17 : 51 Therefore David <01732 +David > ran <07323 +ruwts > , and
stood <05975 +<amad > upon the Philistine <06430 +P@lishtiy > ,
and took <03947 +laqach > his sword <02719 +chereb > , and drew

17 : 52 And the men <00582 +>enowsh > of Israel <03478 +Yisra>el >

Ekron <06138 +<Eqrown > .
17 : 53 And the children <01121 +ben > of Israel <03478 +Yisra>el

17 : 54 And David <01732 +David > took <03947 +laqach > the head

17 : 55 And when Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > saw <07200 +ra>ah > David

17 : 56 And the king <04428 +melek > said <00559 +>amar > ,
Enquire <07592 +sha>al > thou whose <04310 +miy > son <01121 +ben

17 : 58 And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > said <00559 +>amar > to him ,
Whose <04310 +miy > son <01121 +ben > [ art ] thou , [ thou ]

18 : 01 . And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when he had made
an end <03615 +kalah > of speaking <01696 +dabar > unto Saul

18 : 03 Then Jonathan <03083 +Y@hownathan > and David <01732

because he loved <00160 +>ahabah > him as his own soul <05315

18 : 04 And Jonathan <03083 +Y@hownathan > stripped <06584 +pashat

18 : 05 And David <01732 +David > went <03318 +yatsa> > out

18 : 06 . And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass as they came <00935

18 : 07 And the women <00802 +>ishshah > answered <06030 +<anah >
[ one another ] as they played <07832 +sachaq > , and said <00559

18 : 08 And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > was very <03966 +m@<od > wroth

18 : 09 And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > eyed <05770 +<avan > David

18 : 10 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass on the morrow <04283

18 : 11 And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > cast <02904 +tuwl > the javelin

18 : 12 . And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > was afraid <03372 +yare> >

18 : 13 Therefore Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > removed <05493 +cuwr >
him from him , and made <07760 +suwm > him his captain <08269

18 : 14 And David <01732 +David > behaved <07919 +sakal > himself

18 : 15 Wherefore when Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > saw <07200 +ra>ah >
that he behaved <07919 +sakal > himself very <03966 +m@<od >

18 : 16 But all <03605 +kol > Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > and Judah

18 : 17 And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > said <00559 +>amar > to David

18 : 18 And David <01732 +David > said <00559 +>amar > unto Saul

18 : 19 But it came <01961 +hayah > to pass at the time <06256

Adriel <05741 +<Adriy>el > the Meholathite <04259 +M@cholathiy >

18 : 20 And Michal <04324 +Miykal > Saul s <07586 +Sha>uwl >

18 : 21 And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > said <00559 +>amar > , I will
give <05414 +nathan > him her , that she may be a snare <04170

Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > said <00559 +>amar > to David <01732

18 : 24 And the servants <05650 +<ebed > of Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl >

18 : 26 And when his servants <05650 +<ebed > told <05046 +nagad >
David <01732 +David> these <00428 +>el - leh > words <01697

19 : 23 And he went <03212 +yalak > thither <08033 +sham > to

20 : 08 Therefore thou shalt deal <06213 +<asah > kindly <02617

20 : 17 And Jonathan <03083 +Y@hownathan > caused David <01732

20 : 20 And I will shoot <03384 +yarah > three <07969 +shalowsh >

as though I shot <07971 +shalach > at a mark <04307 +mattara> > .
20 : 21 And , behold <02009 +hinneh > , I will send <07971

If <00518 +>im > I expressly <00559 +>amar > say <00559 +>amar >
unto the lad <05288 +na<ar > , Behold <02009 +hinneh > , the
arrows <02671 +chets > [ are ] on this <02007 +hennah > side of

thou : for [ there is ] peace <07965 +shalowm > to thee , and no

20 : 22 But if <00518 +>im > I say <00559 +>amar > thus <03541

Behold <02009 +hinneh > , the arrows <02671 +chets > [ are ]
beyond <04973 +m@thall@<ah > thee ; go <03212 +yalak > thy way
<03212 +yalak > : for the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > hath sent <07971

20 : 23 And [ as touching ] the matter <01697 +dabar > which
<00834 +>aher > thou and I have spoken <01696 +dabar > of ,
behold <02009 +hinneh > , the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > [ be ]

20 : 24 . So David <01732 +David > hid <05641 +cathar > himself
in the field <07704 +sadeh > : and when the new <02320 +chodesh >

20 : 25 And the king <04428 +melek > sat <03427 +yashab > upon his

Abner <74> sat <03427 +yashab > by Saul s <07586 +Sha>uwl > side

20 : 26 Nevertheless Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > spake <01696 +dabar >

20 : 27 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass on the morrow <04283

20 : 28 And Jonathan <03083 +Y@hownathan > answered <06030 +<anah

20 : 29 And he said <00559 +>amar > , Let me go <07971 +shalach >

20 : 30 Then Saul s <07586 +Sha>uwl > anger <00639 +>aph > was
kindled <02734 +charah > against Jonathan <03083 +Y@hownathan > ,
and he said <00559 +>amar > unto him , Thou son <01121 +ben > of

20 : 31 For as long <03117 +yowm > as the son <01121 +ben > of
Jesse <03448 +Yishay > liveth <02425 +chayay > upon the ground

20 : 32 And Jonathan <03083 +Y@hownathan > answered <06030 +<anah

20 : 33 And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > cast <02904 +tuwl > a javelin

that it was determined <03615 +kalah > of his father <1> to slay
<04191 +muwth > David <01732 +David > .
20 : 34 So Jonathan <03083 +Y@hownathan > arose <06965 +quwm >
from the table <07979 +shulchan > in fierce <02750 +choriy > anger

father <1> had done him shame <03637 +kalam > .
20 : 35 . And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass in the morning
<01242 +boqer > , that Jonathan <03083 +Y@hownathan > went <03318

20 : 36 And he said <00559 +>amar > unto his lad <05288 +na<ar > ,

20 : 37 And when the lad <05288 +na<ar > was come <00935 +bow> >

20 : 38 And Jonathan <03083 +Y@hownathan > cried <07121 +qara> >

gathered <03950 +laqat > up the arrows <02678 +chitstsiy > , and
came <00935 +bow> > to his master <00113 +>adown > .
20 : 39 But the lad <05288 +na<ar > knew <03045 +yada< > not any

20 : 40 And Jonathan <03083 +Y@hownathan > gave <05414 +nathan >
his artillery <03627 +k@liy > unto his lad <05288 +na<ar > , and
said <00559 +>amar > unto him , Go <03212 +yalak > , carry

20 : 41 [ And ] as soon as the lad <05288 +na<ar > was gone

three <07969 +shalowsh > times <06471 +pa<am > : and they kissed

20 : 42 And Jonathan <03083 +Y@hownathan > said <00559 +>amar > to
David <01732 +David > , Go <03212 +yalak > in peace <07965

21 : 01 . Then came <00935 +bow> > David <01732 +David > to Nob
<05011 +Nob > to Ahimelech <00288 +>Achiymelek > the priest <03548

21 : 02 And David <01732 +David > said <00559 +>amar > unto
Ahimelech <00288 +>Achiymelek > the priest <03548 +kohen > , The
king <04428 +melek > hath commanded <06680 +tsavah > me a business

21 : 03 Now therefore what <04100 +mah > is under <08478 +tachath

21 : 04 And the priest <03548 +kohen > answered <06030 +<anah >
David <01732 +David > , and said <00559 +>amar > , [ There is ]
no <00369 +>ayin > common <02455 +chol > bread <03899 +lechem >

21 : 05 And David <01732 +David > answered <06030 +<anah > the

21 : 06 So the priest <03548 +kohen > gave <05414 +nathan > him
hallowed <06944 +qodesh > [ bread ] : for there was no <03808

21 : 07 Now a certain man <00376 +>iysh > of the servants <05650

chiefest <47> of the herdmen <07462 +ra<ah > that [ belonged ] to
Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > .
21 : 08 And David <01732 +David > said <00559 +>amar > unto

I have neither brought <03947 +laqach > my sword <02719 +chereb >

21 : 09 And the priest <03548 +kohen > said <00559 +>amar > , The

21 : 10 . And David <01732 +David > arose <06965 +quwm > , and
fled <01272 +barach > that day <03117 +yowm > for fear <06440

Achish <00397 +>Akiysh > the king <04428 +melek > of Gath <01661

21 : 11 And the servants <05650 +<ebed > of Achish <00397 +>Akiysh

Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > hath slain <05221 +nakah > his thousands

21 : 12 And David <01732 +David > laid <07760 +suwm > up these

21 : 13 And he changed <08138 +shanah > his behaviour <02940
+ta<am > before <05869 +<ayin > them , and feigned himself mad
<01984 +halal > in their hands <03027 +yad > , and scrabbled
<08427 +tavah > on <05921 +<al > the doors <01817 +deleth > of

21 : 14 Then said <00559 +>amar > Achish <00397 +>Akiysh > unto

21 : 15 Have I need <02638 +chacer > of mad <07696 +shaga< > men ,

22 : 01 . David <01732 +David > therefore departed <03212 +yalak

23 : 21 And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > said <00559 +>amar > , Blessed

23 : 24 And they arose <06965 +quwm > , and went <03212 +yalak >
to Ziph <02128 +Ziyph > before <06440 +paniym > Saul <07586

23 : 25 Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > also and his men <00582 +>enowsh >
went <03212 +yalak > to seek <01245 +baqash > [ him ] . And
they told <05046 +nagad > David <01732 +David > : wherefore he
came <03381 +yarad > down <03381 +yarad > into a rock <05553

23 : 26 And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > went <03212 +yalak > on this

and David <01732 +David > and his men <00582 +>enowsh > on that

23 : 27 But there came <00935 +bow> > a messenger <04397 +mal>ak >

23 : 28 Wherefore Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > returned <07725 +shuwb >
from pursuing <07291 +radaph > after <00310 +>achar > David <01732

23 : 29 And David <01732 +David > went <05927 +<alah > up from

24 : 01 . And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when <00834

Behold <02009 +hinneh > , David <01732 +David > [ is ] in the
wilderness <04057 +midbar > of Engedi <05872 +<Eyn Gediy > .
24 : 02 Then Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > took <03947 +laqach > three

the rocks <06697 +tsuwr > of the wild <03277 +ya<el > goats <03277

24 : 03 And he came <00935 +bow> > to the sheepcotes <06629 +tso>n

David <01732 +David > and his men <00582 +>enowsh > remained
<03427 +yashab > in the sides <03411 +y@rekah > of the cave <04631

24 : 04 And the men <00582 +>enowsh > of David <01732 +David >
said <00559 +>amar > unto him , Behold <02009 +hinneh > the day
<03117 +yowm > of which <00834 +>aher > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah

thine hand <03027 +yad > , that thou mayest do <06213 +<asah > to
him as it shall seem good <03190 +yatab > unto thee . Then David
<01732 +David > arose <06965 +quwm > , and cut <03772 +karath >
off the skirt <03671 +kanaph > of Saul s <07586 +Sha>uwl > robe
<04598 +m@<iyl > privily <03909 +lat > .
24 : 05 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass afterward , that David
s <01732 +David > heart <03820 +leb > smote <05221 +nakah > him ,
because he had cut <03772 +karath > off Saul s <07586 +Sha>uwl >
skirt <03671 +kanaph > .
24 : 06 And he said <00559 +>amar > unto his men <00582 +>enowsh >
, The LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > forbid <02486 +chaliylah > that I

anointed <04899 +mashiyach > , to stretch <07971 +shalach > forth
mine hand <03027 +yad > against him , seeing he [ is ] the
anointed <04899 +mashiyach > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > .
24 : 07 So David <01732 +David > stayed <08156 +shaca< > his
servants <00582 +>enowsh > with these words <01697 +dabar > , and
suffered <05414 +nathan > them not to rise <06965 +quwm > against

went <03212 +yalak > on [ his ] way <01870 +derek > .
24 : 08 David <01732 +David > also arose <06965 +quwm > afterward
, and went <03318 +yatsa> > out of the cave <04631 +m@<arah > ,
and cried <07121 +qara> > after <00310 +>achar > Saul <07586

<05027 +nabat > behind <00310 +>achar > him , David <01732
+David > stooped <06915 +qadad > with his face <00639 +>aph > to
the earth <00776 +>erets > , and bowed <07812 +shachah > himself
.
24 : 09 . And David <01732 +David > said <00559 +>amar > to Saul
<07586 +Sha>uwl > , Wherefore <04100 +mah > hearest <08085

saying <00559 +>amar > , Behold <02009 +hinneh > , David <01732

24 : 10 Behold <02009 +hinneh > , this day <03117 +yowm > thine

cave <04631 +m@<arah > : and [ some ] bade <00559 +>amar > [ me
] kill <02026 +harag > thee : but [ mine eye ] spared <02347
+chuwc > thee ; and I said <00559 +>amar > , I will not put
<07971 +shalach > forth <07971 +shalach > mine hand <03027 +yad >
against my lord <00113 +>adown > ; for he [ is ] the LORD S
<03068 +Y@hovah > anointed <04899 +mashiyach > .
24 : 11 Moreover , my father <1> , see <07200 +ra>ah > , yea
<00637 +>aph > , see <07200 +ra>ah > the skirt <03671 +kanaph >
of thy robe <04598 +m@<iyl > in my hand <03027 +yad > : for in
that I cut <03772 +karath > off the skirt <03671 +kanaph > of thy
robe <04598 +m@<iyl > , and killed <02026 +harag > thee not ,
know <03045 +yada< > thou and see <07200 +ra>ah > that [ there is
] neither <00369 +>ayin > evil <07451 +ra< > nor transgression
<06588 +pesha< > in mine hand <03027 +yad > , and I have not
sinned <02398 +chata> > against thee ; yet thou huntest <06658
+tsadah > my soul <05315 +nephesh > to take <03947 +laqach > it .
24 : 12 The LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > judge <08199 +shaphat > between
<00996 +beyn > me and thee , and the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah >
avenge <05358 +naqam > me of thee : but mine hand <03027 +yad >
shall not be upon thee .
24 : 13 As saith <00559 +>amar > the proverb <04912 +mashal > of
the ancients <06931 +qadmowniy > , Wickedness <07562 +resha< >
proceedeth <03318 +yatsa> > from the wicked <07563 +rasha< > : but
mine hand <03027 +yad > shall not be upon thee .
24 : 14 After <00310 +>achar > whom <04310 +miy > is the king

<06550 +par<osh > .
24 : 15 The LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > therefore be judge <01784
+Diynay > , and judge <08199 +shaphat > between <00996 +beyn > me
and thee , and see <07200 +ra>ah > , and plead <07378 +riyb > my
cause <07379 +riyb > , and deliver <08199 +shaphat > me out of
thine hand <03027 +yad > .
24 : 16 . And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when David <01732
+David > had made an end <03615 +kalah > of speaking <01696 +dabar

[ Is ] this <02088 +zeh > thy voice <06963 +qowl > , my son
<01121 +ben > David <01732 +David > ? And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl >
lifted <05375 +nasa> > up his voice <06963 +qowl > , and wept
<01058 +bakah > .
24 : 17 And he said <00559 +>amar > to David <01732 +David > ,
Thou [ art ] more righteous <06662 +tsaddiyq > than I : for thou
hast rewarded <01580 +gamal > me good <02896 +towb > , whereas I
have rewarded <01580 +gamal > thee evil <07451 +ra< > .
24 : 18 And thou hast shewed <05046 +nagad > this day <03117 +yowm

with me : forasmuch as when the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > had
delivered <05462 +cagar > me into thine hand <03027 +yad > , thou
killedst <02026 +harag > me not .
24 : 19 For if <03588 +kiy > a man <00376 +>iysh > find <04672
+matsa> > his enemy <00341 +>oyeb > , will he let him go <07971
+shalach > well <02896 +towb > away <01870 +derek > ? wherefore
the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > reward <07999 +shalam > thee good
<02896 +towb > for that thou hast done <06213 +<asah > unto me
this <02088 +zeh > day <03117 +yowm > .
24 : 20 And now <06258 +<attah > , behold <02009 +hinneh > , I
know <03045 +yada< > well that thou shalt surely be king <04428
+melek > , and that the kingdom <04467 +mamlakah > of Israel
<03478 +Yisra>el > shall be established <06965 +quwm > in thine
hand <03027 +yad > .
24 : 21 Swear <07650 +shaba< > now <06258 +<attah > therefore unto
me by the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , that thou wilt not cut <03772
+karath > off my seed <02233 +zera< > after <00310 +>achar > me ,
and that thou wilt not destroy <08045 +shamad > my name <08034
+shem > out of my father s <1> house <01004 +bayith > .
24 : 22 And David <01732 +David > sware <07650 +shaba< > unto Saul
<07586 +Sha>uwl > . And Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > went <03212

his men <00582 +>enowsh > gat <05927 +<alah > them up unto the

25 : 01 . And Samuel <08050 +Sh@muw>el > died <04191 +muwth > ;
and all <03605 +kol > the Israelites <03478 +Yisra>el > were
gathered <06908 +qabats > together , and lamented <05594 +caphad

+bayith > at Ramah <07414 +Ramah > . And David <01732 +David >
arose <06965 +quwm > , and went <03381 +yarad > down <03381
+yarad > to the wilderness <04057 +midbar > of Paran <06290

25 : 02 . And [ there was ] a man <00376 +>iysh > in Maon <04584
+Ma<own > , whose possessions <04639 +ma<aseh > [ were ] in
Carmel <03760 +Karmel > ; and the man <00376 +>iysh > [ was ]
very <03966 +m@<od > great <01419 +gadowl > , and he had three

was shearing <01494 +gazaz > his sheep <06629 +tso>n > in Carmel
<03760 +Karmel > .
25 : 03 Now the name <08034 +shem > of the man <00376 +>iysh > [
was ] Nabal <05037 +Nabal > ; and the name <08034 +shem > of his

and he [ was ] of the house <01004 +bayith > of Caleb <03612

25 : 04 And David <01732 +David > heard <08085 +shama< > in the
wilderness <04057 +midbar > that Nabal <05037 +Nabal > did shear
<01494 +gazaz > his sheep <06629 +tso>n > .
25 : 05 And David <01732 +David > sent <07971 +shalach > out ten
<06235 +<eser > young <05288 +na<ar > men , and David <01732

Get <05927 +<alah > you up to Carmel <03760 +Karmel > , and go
<00935 +bow> > to Nabal <05037 +Nabal > , and greet him in my
name <08034 +shem > :
25 : 06 And thus <03541 +koh > shall ye say <00559 +>amar > to him
that liveth <02416 +chay > [ in prosperity ] , Peace <07965

25 : 07 And now <06258 +<attah > I have heard <08085 +shama< >
that thou hast shearers <01494 +gazaz > : now thy shepherds <07462
+ra<ah > which <00834 +>aher > were with us , we hurt <03637

the while <03117 +yowm > they were in Carmel <03760 +Karmel > .
25 : 08 Ask <07592 +sha>al > thy young <05288 +na<ar > men , and
they will shew <05046 +nagad > thee . Wherefore let the young
<05288 +na<ar > men find <04672 +matsa> > favour <02580 +chen >
in thine eyes <05869 +<ayin > : for we come <00935 +bow> > in a

I pray <04994 +na> > thee , whatsoever cometh <04672 +matsa> > to
thine hand <03027 +yad > unto thy servants <05650 +<ebed > , and
to thy son <01121 +ben > David <01732 +David > .
25 : 09 And when David s <01732 +David > young <05288 +na<ar > men
came <00935 +bow> > , they spake <01696 +dabar > to Nabal <05037

words <01697 +dabar > in the name <08034 +shem > of David <01732

25 : 10 And Nabal <05037 +Nabal > answered <06030 +<anah > David s
<01732 +David > servants <05650 +<ebed > , and said <00559

25 : 11 Shall I then take <03947 +laqach > my bread <03899 +lechem

25 : 12 . So David s <01732 +David > young <05288 +na<ar > men

25 : 14 But one <00259 +>echad > of the young <05288 +na<ar > men

25 : 15 But the men <00582 +>enowsh > [ were ] very <03966

25 : 16 They were a wall <02346 +chowmah > unto us both <01571

25 : 17 Now <06258 +<attah > therefore know <03045 +yada< > and

25 : 18 . Then Abigail <26> made haste <04116 +mahar > , and took

25 : 19 And she said <00559 +>amar > unto her servants <05288

25 : 20 And it was [ so , as ] she rode <07392 +rakab > on

25 : 21 Now David <01732 +David > had <01961 +hayah > said <00559

25 : 22 So <03541 +koh > and more <03254 +yacaph > also <03541

25 : 23 And when Abigail <26> saw <07200 +ra>ah > David <01732

25 : 24 And fell <05307 +naphal > at <05921 +<al > his feet <07272

25 : 25 Let not my lord <00113 +>adown > , I pray <04994 +na> >

25 : 26 Now <06258 +<attah > therefore , my lord <00113 +>adown >

25 : 28 I pray <04994 +na> > thee , forgive <05375 +nasa> > the

25 : 29 Yet a man <00120 +>adam > is risen <06965 +quwm > to

25 : 30 And it shall come <01961 +hayah > to pass , when <03588

25 : 32 . And David <01732 +David > said <00559 +>amar > to
Abigail <26> , Blessed <01288 +barak > [ be ] the LORD <03068

25 : 34 For in very <00199 +>uwlam > deed <00199 +>uwlam > , [

25 : 35 So David <01732 +David > received <03947 +laqach > of her

25 : 36 . And Abigail <26> came <00935 +bow> > to Nabal <05037

25 : 37 But it came <01916 +hadom > to pass in the morning <01242

25 : 38 And it came <01916 +hadom > to pass about ten <06235

25 : 39 And when David <01732 +David > heard <08085 +shama< > that

communed <01696 +dabar > with Abigail <26> , to take <03947

25 : 40 And when the servants <05650 +<ebed > of David <01732

25 : 41 And she arose <06965 +quwm > , and bowed <07812 +shachah

25 : 42 And Abigail <26> hasted <04116 +mahar > , and arose <06965

25 : 43 David <01732 +David > also took <03947 +laqach > Ahinoam

25 : 44 But Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > had given <05414 +nathan >

26 : 01 . And the Ziphites <02130 +Ziyphiy > came <00935 +bow> >

26 : 02 Then Saul <07586 +Sha>uwl > arose <06965 +quwm > , and

26 : 04 David <01732 +David > therefore sent <07971 +shalach > out

26 : 10 David <01732 +David > said <00559 +>amar > furthermore ,
[ As ] the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > liveth <02416 +chay > , the

26 : 11 The LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > forbid <02486 +chaliylah > that

26 : 12 So David <01732 +David > took <03947 +laqach > the spear

28 : 17 And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > hath done <06213 +<asah >

30 : 09 So David <01732 +David > went <03212 +yalak > , he and

30 : 10 But David <01732 +David > pursued <07291 +radaph > , he

30 : 11 And they found <04672 +matsa> > an Egyptian <04713

30 : 12 And they gave <05414 +nathan > him a piece <06400 +pelach

30 : 13 And David <01732 +David > said <00559 +>amar > unto him ,
To whom <04310 +miy > [ belongest ] thou ? and whence [ art ]

30 : 14 We made an invasion <06584 +pashat > [ upon ] the south

30 : 16 And when he had brought <03381 +yarad > him down <03381

30 : 18 And David <01732 +David > recovered <05337 +natsal > all

30 : 23 Then said <00559 +>amar > David <01732 +David > , Ye

31 : 01 . Now the Philistines <06430 +P@lishtiy > fought <03898
