1SA-29:4 And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him;

and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this

fellow return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast

appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest

in the battle he be an adversary to us:for wherewith should he

reconcile himself unto his master? [should it] not [be] with the

heads of these men? <adversary> <again> <appointed> <battle>

1SA-29:5 [Is] not this David, of whom they sang one to another

in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten

thousands? <another> <dances> <david> <one> <sang> <saul>

1SA-29:6 Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely,

[as] the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out

and thy coming in with me in the host [is] good in my sight:for

I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto

me unto this day:nevertheless the lords favour thee not. <been>

1SA-29:7 Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou

displease not the lords of the Philistines. <displease> <go>

1SA-29:8 And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and

what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with

thee unto this day, that I may not go fight against the enemies

of my lord the king? <against> <been> <david> <day> <done>

1SA-29:9 And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou

[art] good in my sight, as an angel of God:notwithstanding the

princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us

to the battle. <angel> <answered> <art> <battle> <david> <go>

1SA-29:10 Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy

master's servants that are come with thee:and as soon as ye be

up early in the morning, and have light, depart. <are> <come>

1SA-29:11 So David and his men rose up early to depart in the

morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the

Philistines went up to Jezreel. <david> <depart> <early> <into>

1SA-30:1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come

to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the

south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;

1SA-30:2 And had taken the women captives, that [were] therein:

they slew not any, either great or small, but carried [them]

away, and went on their way. <any> <away> <captives> <carried>

1SA-30:3 So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, [it

was] burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and

their daughters, were taken captives. <behold> <burned> <came>

1SA-30:4 Then David and the people that [were] with him lifted

up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.

1SA-30:5 And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the

Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

1SA-30:6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake

of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved,

every man for his sons and for his daughters:but David

encouraged himself in the LORD his God. <all> <because>

1SA-30:7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son,

I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought

thither the ephod to David. <bring> <brought> <david> <ephod>

1SA-30:8 And David inquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue

after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him,

Pursue:for thou shalt surely overtake [them] , and without fail

recover [all] . <after> <all> <answered> <david> <fail> <him>

1SA-30:9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that [were]

with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were

left behind stayed. <behind> <besor> <brook> <came> <david>

1SA-30:10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men:for two

hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go

over the brook Besor. <behind> <besor> <brook> <could> <david>

<which>

1SA-30:11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought

him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made

him drink water; <bread> <brought> <david> <did> <drink> <eat>

1SA-30:12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two

clusters of raisins:and when he had eaten, his spirit came again

to him:for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk [any] water, three

days and three nights. <again> <any> <bread> <cake> <came>

1SA-30:13 And David said unto him, To whom [belongest] thou? and

whence [art] thou? And he said, I [am] a young man of Egypt,

servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three

days ago I fell sick. <ago> <amalekite> <art> <because>

1SA-30:14 We made an invasion [upon] the south of the

Cherethites, and upon [the coast] which [belongeth] to Judah,

and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.

1SA-30:15 And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to

this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt

neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and

I will bring thee down to this company. <bring> <canst>

<wilt>

1SA-30:16 And when he had brought him down, behold, [they were]

spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and

dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out

of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.

1SA-30:17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the

evening of the next day:and there escaped not a man of them,

save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.

1SA-30:18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had

carried away:and David rescued his two wives. <all> <amalekites>

<wives>

1SA-30:19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small

nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any

[thing] that they had taken to them:David recovered all. <all>

1SA-30:20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which]

they drave before those [other] cattle, and said, This [is]

David's spoil. <all> <before> <cattle> <david> <drave> <flocks>

1SA-30:21 And David came to the two hundred men, which were so

faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also

to abide at the brook Besor:and they went forth to meet David,

and to meet the people that [were] with him:and when David came

near to the people, he saluted them. <also> <besor> <brook>

1SA-30:22 Then answered all the wicked men and [men] of Belial,

of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not

with us, we will not give them [ought] of the spoil that we have

recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that

they may lead [them] away, and depart. <all> <answered> <away>

<with>

1SA-30:23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with

that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and

delivered the company that came against us into our hand.

1SA-30:24 For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as

his part [is] that goeth down to the battle, so [shall] his part

[be] that tarrieth by the stuff:they shall part alike. <alike>

1SA-30:25 And it was [so] from that day forward, that he made it

a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day. <day>

1SA-30:26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil

unto the elders of Judah, [even] to his friends, saying, Behold

a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;

1SA-30:27 To [them] which [were] in Bethel, and to [them] which

[were] in south Ramoth, and to [them] which [were] in Jattir,

1SA-30:28 And to [them] which [were] in Aroer, and to [them]

which [were] in Siphmoth, and to [them] which [were] in Eshtemoa,

1SA-30:29 And to [them] which [were] in Rachal, and to [them]

which [were] in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to [them]

which [were] in the cities of the Kenites, <cities>

1SA-30:30 And to [them] which [were] in Hormah, and to [them]

which [were] in Chorashan, and to [them] which [were] in Athach,

1SA-30:31 And to [them] which [were] in Hebron, and to all the

places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt. <all>

1SA-31:1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel:and the men

of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain

in mount Gilboa. <against> <before> <down> <fell> <fled>

<slain>

1SA-31:2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon

his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and

Melchishua, Saul's sons. <followed> <hard> <jonathan>

1SA-31:3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers

hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers. <against>

1SA-31:4 Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword,

and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come

and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would

not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and

fell upon it. <afraid> <armourbearer> <come> <draw> <fell>

<would>

1SA-31:5 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he

fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him. <armourbearer>

1SA-31:6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer,

and all his men, that same day together. <all> <armourbearer>

1SA-31:7 And when the men of Israel that [were] on the other

side of the valley, and [they] that [were] on the other side

Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his

sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the

Philistines came and dwelt in them. <came> <cities> <dead>

1SA-31:8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines

came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons

fallen in mount Gilboa. <came> <fallen> <found> <gilboa>

1SA-31:9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour,

and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to

publish [it in] the house of their idols, and among the people.

1SA-31:10 And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth:and

they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan. <armour>

1SA-31:11 And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that

which the Philistines had done to Saul; <done> <had> <heard>

1SA-31:12 All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and

took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall

of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there. <all>

1SA-31:13 And they took their bones, and buried [them] under a

tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days. <bones> <buried> <days>

2SA-1:1 Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David

was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had

abode two days in Ziklag; <after> <amalekites> <came> <david>

2SA-1:2 It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a

man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and

earth upon his head:and [so] it was, when he came to David, that

he fell to the earth, and did obeisance. <behold> <came> <camp>

2SA-1:3 And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he

said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped. <camp>

2SA-1:4 And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray

thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from

the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and

Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also. <also> <answered> <are>

2SA-1:5 And David said unto the young man that told him, How

knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead? <david>

2SA-1:6 And the young man that told him said, As I happened by

chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear;

and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.

2SA-1:7 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called

unto me. And I answered, Here [am] I. <answered> <behind>

2SA-1:8 And he said unto me, Who [art] thou? And I answered him,

I [am] an Amalekite. <amalekite> <answered> <art> <him> <said>

<who>

2SA-1:9 He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and

slay me:for anguish is come upon me, because my life [is] yet

whole in me. <again> <anguish> <because> <come> <life> <pray>

2SA-1:10 So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure

that he could not live after that he was fallen:and I took the

crown that [was] upon his head, and the bracelet that [was] on

his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord. <after>

2SA-1:11 Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and

likewise all the men that [were] with him:<all> <clothes>

<with>

2SA-1:12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for

Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD,

and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the

sword. <because> <even> <fallen> <fasted> <house> <israel>

2SA-1:13 And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence

[art] thou? And he answered, I [am] the son of a stranger, an

Amalekite. <amalekite> <answered> <art> <david> <him> <man>

2SA-1:14 And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to

stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?

2SA-1:15 And David called one of the young men, and said, Go

near, [and] fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.

2SA-1:16 And David said unto him, Thy blood [be] upon thy head;

for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain

the LORD'S anointed. <against> <anointed> <blood> <david> <hath>

2SA-1:17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and

over Jonathan his son:<david> <jonathan> <lamentation>

2SA-1:18 ( Also he bade them teach the children of Judah [the

use of] the bow:behold, [it is] written in the book of Jasher. )

2SA-1:19 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places:how

are the mighty fallen! <are> <beauty> <fallen> <high> <how>

2SA-1:20 Tell [it] not in Gath, publish [it] not in the streets

of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest

the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. <askelon>

2SA-1:21 Ye mountains of Gilboa, [let there be] no dew, neither

[let there be] rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings:for there

the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul,

[as though he had] not [been] anointed with oil. <anointed>

2SA-1:22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty,

the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul

returned not empty. <back> <blood> <bow> <empty> <fat>

2SA-1:23 Saul and Jonathan [were] lovely and pleasant in their

lives, and in their death they were not divided:they were

swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. <death>

2SA-1:24 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you

in scarlet, with [other] delights, who put on ornaments of gold

upon your apparel. <apparel> <clothed> <daughters> <delights>

2SA-1:25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O

Jonathan, [thou wast] slain in thine high places. <are> <battle>

2SA-1:26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan:very

pleasant hast thou been unto me:thy love to me was wonderful,

passing the love of women. <been> <brother> <distressed> <hast>

2SA-1:27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war

perished! <are> <fallen> <how> <mighty> <perished> <war>

2SA-2:1 And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of

the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?

And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall

I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron. <after> <any> <came> <cities>

2SA-2:2 So David went up thither, and his two wives also,

Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite.

2SA-2:3 And his men that [were] with him did David bring up,

every man with his household:and they dwelt in the cities of

Hebron. <bring> <cities> <david> <did> <dwelt> <every> <hebron>

2SA-2:4 And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David

king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying,

[That] the men of Jabeshgilead [were they] that buried Saul.

2SA-2:5 And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabeshgilead,

and said unto them, Blessed [be] ye of the LORD, that ye have

showed this kindness unto your lord, [even] unto Saul, and have

buried him. <blessed> <buried> <david> <even> <have> <him>

2SA-2:6 And now the LORD show kindness and truth unto you:and I

also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this

thing. <also> <because> <done> <have> <kindness> <lord> <now>

2SA-2:7 Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye

valiant:for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of

Judah have anointed me king over them. <also> <anointed> <dead>

2SA-2:8 But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took

Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;

2SA-2:9 And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites,

and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over

all Israel. <all> <ashurites> <benjamin> <ephraim> <gilead>

2SA-2:10 Ishbosheth Saul's son [was] forty years old when he

began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house

of Judah followed David. <began> <david> <followed> <forty>

2SA-2:11 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the

house of Judah was seven years and six months. <david> <hebron>

<years>

2SA-2:12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of

Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.

<went>

2SA-2:13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David,

went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon:and they sat

down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the

other side of the pool. <david> <down> <gibeon> <joab> <met>

2SA-2:14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise,

and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise. <arise>

2SA-2:15 Then there arose and went over by number twelve of

Benjamin, which [pertained] to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and

twelve of the servants of David. <arose> <benjamin> <david>

2SA-2:16 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and

[thrust] his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down

together:wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which

[is] in Gibeon. <called> <caught> <down> <every> <fell> <fellow>

2SA-2:17 And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner

was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.

2SA-2:18 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and

Abishai, and Asahel:and Asahel [was as] light of foot as a wild

roe. <asahel> <foot> <joab> <light> <roe> <sons> <there> <three>

2SA-2:19 And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned

not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.

2SA-2:20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, [Art] thou

Asahel? And he answered, I [am] . <answered> <art> <asahel>

2SA-2:21 And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right

hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men,

and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from

following of him. <armour> <asahel> <aside> <following> <hand>

2SA-2:22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from

following me:wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how

then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother? <again>

2SA-2:23 Howbeit he refused to turn aside:wherefore Abner with

the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth [rib] ,

that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and

died in the same place:and it came to pass, [that] as many as

came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.

2SA-2:24 Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner:and the sun

went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that [lieth]

before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon. <after>

2SA-2:25 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves

together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top

of an hill. <after> <became> <benjamin> <children> <gathered>

2SA-2:26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword

devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in

the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the

people return from following their brethren? <bid> <bitterness>

2SA-2:27 And Joab said, [As] God liveth, unless thou hadst

spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every

one from following his brother. <brother> <every> <following>

2SA-2:28 So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still,

and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.

2SA-2:29 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the

plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and

they came to Mahanaim. <all> <bithron> <came> <jordan>

2SA-2:30 And Joab returned from following Abner:and when he had

gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's

servants nineteen men and Asahel. <all> <asahel> <following>

2SA-2:31 But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and

of Abner's men, [so that] three hundred and threescore men died.

2SA-2:32 And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the

sepulchre of his father, which [was in] Bethlehem. And Joab and

his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.

2SA-3:1 Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the

house of David:but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the

house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker. <between> <david> <house>

2SA-3:2 And unto David were sons born in Hebron:and his

firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; <ahinoam>

2SA-3:3 And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal

the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the

daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; <carmelite> <chileab>

2SA-3:4 And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the

fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital; <fifth> <fourth> <haggith>

2SA-3:5 And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David's wife. These

were born to David in Hebron. <born> <david> <eglah> <hebron>

2SA-3:6 And it came to pass, while there was war between the

house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself

strong for the house of Saul. <between> <came> <david> <himself>

2SA-3:7 And Saul had a concubine, whose name [was] Rizpah, the

daughter of Aiah:and [Ishbosheth] said to Abner, Wherefore hast

thou gone in unto my father's concubine? <aiah> <concubine>

2SA-3:8 Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ishbosheth,

and said, [Am] I a dog's head, which against Judah do show

kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his

brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into

the hand of David, that thou chargest me to day with a fault

concerning this woman? <against> <brethren> <chargest>

2SA-3:9 So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD

hath sworn to David, even so I do to him; <also> <david> <do>

2SA-3:10 To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to

set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan

even to Beersheba. <beersheba> <dan> <david> <even> <house>

2SA-3:11 And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he

feared him. <again> <answer> <because> <could> <feared> <him>

<word>

2SA-3:12 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf,

saying, Whose [is] the land? saying [also] , Make thy league

with me, and, behold, my hand [shall be] with thee, to bring

about all Israel unto thee. <all> <also> <behalf> <behold>

2SA-3:13 And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee:but

one thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face,

except thou first bring Michal Saul's daughter, when thou

comest to see my face. <bring> <comest> <daughter> <except>

2SA-3:14 And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul's son,

saying, Deliver [me] my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for

an hundred foreskins of the Philistines. <david> <deliver>

2SA-3:15 And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from [her] husband,

[even] from Phaltiel the son of Laish. <even> <husband>

2SA-3:16 And her husband went with her along weeping behind her

to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return. And he

returned. <along> <bahurim> <behind> <go> <him> <husband>

2SA-3:17 And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel,

saying, Ye sought for David in times past [to be] king over you:

2SA-3:18 Now then do [it] :for the LORD hath spoken of David,

saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people

Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand

of all their enemies. <all> <david> <do> <enemies> <hand> <hath>

2SA-3:19 And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin:and Abner

went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that

seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house

of Benjamin. <all> <also> <benjamin> <david> <ears> <good>

2SA-3:20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with

him. And David made Abner and the men that [were] with him a

feast. <came> <david> <feast> <hebron> <him> <made> <men> <so>

2SA-3:21 And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and

will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make

a league with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that

thine heart desireth. And David sent Abner away; and he went in

peace. <all> <arise> <away> <david> <desireth> <gather> <go>
