1SA-15:34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his

house to Gibeah of Saul. <gibeah> <house> <ramah> <samuel>

1SA-15:35 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of

his death:nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul:and the LORD

repented that he had made Saul king over Israel. <came> <day>

<until>

1SA-16:1 And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn

for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel?

fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the

Bethlehemite:for I have provided me a king among his sons.

1SA-16:2 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear [it] , he

will kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and

say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD. <can> <come> <go>

1SA-16:3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show thee

what thou shalt do:and thou shalt anoint unto me [him] whom I

name unto thee. <anoint> <call> <do> <him> <jesse> <name>

1SA-16:4 And Samuel did that which the LORD spake, and came to

Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming,

and said, Comest thou peaceably? <bethlehem> <came> <comest>

1SA-16:5 And he said, Peaceably:I am come to sacrifice unto the

LORD:sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And

he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the

sacrifice. <called> <come> <jesse> <lord> <peaceably>

1SA-16:6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he

looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD's anointed [is]

before him. <anointed> <before> <came> <come> <eliab> <him>

1SA-16:7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his

countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have

refused him:for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man

looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the

heart. <appearance> <because> <countenance> <have> <heart>

1SA-16:8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before

Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this. <before>

1SA-16:9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said,

Neither hath the LORD chosen this. <chosen> <hath> <jesse>

1SA-16:10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before

Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen

these. <again> <before> <chosen> <hath> <jesse> <lord> <made>

1SA-16:11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all [thy]

children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and,

behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send

and fetch him:for we will not sit down till he come hither.

1SA-16:12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he [was] ruddy,

[and] withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to.

And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him:for this [is] he. <anoint>

1SA-16:13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in

the midst of his brethren:and the spirit of the LORD came upon

David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to

Ramah. <anointed> <brethren> <came> <david> <day> <forward>

1SA-16:14 But the spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an

evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. <departed> <evil> <him>

1SA-16:15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil

spirit from God troubleth thee. <behold> <evil> <god> <him>

1SA-16:16 Let our lord now command thy servants, [which are]

before thee, to seek out a man, [who is] a cunning player on an

harp:and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is

upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be

well. <are> <before> <come> <command> <cunning> <evil> <god>

<with>

1SA-16:17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man

that can play well, and bring [him] to me. <bring> <can> <him>

1SA-16:18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I

have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, [that is] cunning in

playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent

in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD [is] with him.

1SA-16:19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said,

Send me David thy son, which [is] with the sheep. <david>

1SA-16:20 And Jesse took an ass [laden] with bread, and a bottle

of wine, and a kid, and sent [them] by David his son unto Saul.

1SA-16:21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him:and he

loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.

1SA-16:22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee,

stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight. <before>

1SA-16:23 And it came to pass, when the [evil] spirit from God

was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand:

so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit

departed from him. <came> <david> <departed> <evil> <god> <hand>

1SA-17:1 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to

battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which [belongeth]

to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammin.

1SA-17:2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together,

and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array

against the Philistines. <against> <array> <battle> <elah>

1SA-17:3 And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side,

and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side:and [there

was] a valley between them. <between> <israel> <mountain> <on>

1SA-17:4 And there went out a champion out of the camp of the

Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height [was] six

cubits and a span. <camp> <champion> <cubits> <gath> <goliath>

<whose>

1SA-17:5 And [he had] an helmet of brass upon his head, and he

[was] armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat

[was] five thousand shekels of brass. <armed> <brass> <coat>

1SA-17:6 And [he had] greaves of brass upon his legs, and a

target of brass between his shoulders. <between> <brass>

1SA-17:7 And the staff of his spear [was] like a weaver's beam;

and his spear's head [weighed] six hundred shekels of iron:and

one bearing a shield went before him. <beam> <bearing> <before>

1SA-17:8 And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and

said unto them, Why are ye come out to set [your] battle in

array? [am] not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose

you a man for you, and let him come down to me. <are> <armies>

1SA-17:9 If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then

will we be your servants:but if I prevail against him, and kill

him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us. <against>

1SA-17:10 And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel

this day; give me a man, that we may fight together. <armies>

1SA-17:11 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the

Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid. <afraid>

1SA-17:12 Now David [was] the son of that Ephrathite of

Bethlehemjudah, whose name [was] Jesse; and he had eight sons:

and the man went among men [for] an old man in the days of Saul.

1SA-17:13 And the three eldest sons of Jesse went [and] followed

Saul to the battle:and the names of his three sons that went to

the battle [were] Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him

Abinadab, and the third Shammah. <battle> <eldest> <eliab>

1SA-17:14 And David [was] the youngest:and the three eldest

followed Saul. <david> <eldest> <followed> <saul> <three>

1SA-17:15 But David went and returned from Saul to feed his

father's sheep at Bethlehem. <bethlehem> <david> <feed>

1SA-17:16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and

presented himself forty days. <days> <drew> <evening> <forty>

1SA-17:17 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy

brethren an ephah of this parched [corn] , and these ten loaves,

and run to the camp to thy brethren; <brethren> <camp> <corn>

1SA-17:18 And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of

[their] thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their

pledge. <brethren> <captain> <carry> <cheeses> <fare> <how>

1SA-17:19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, [were]

in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines. <all>

1SA-17:20 And David rose up early in the morning, and left the

sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded

him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to

the fight, and shouted for the battle. <battle> <came>

1SA-17:21 For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in

array, army against army. <against> <army> <array> <battle>

1SA-17:22 And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper

of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his

brethren. <army> <brethren> <came> <carriage> <david> <hand>

1SA-17:23 And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the

champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the

armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words:

and David heard [them] . <armies> <behold> <came> <champion>

1SA-17:24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled

from him, and were sore afraid. <afraid> <all> <fled> <him>

1SA-17:25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that

is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up:and it shall be,

[that] the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with

great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his

father's house free in Israel. <come> <daughter> <defy> <enrich>

1SA-17:26 And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying,

What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and

taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who [is] this

uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the

living God? <armies> <away> <david> <defy> <done> <god> <him>

1SA-17:27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying,

So shall it be done to the man that killeth him. <after>

1SA-17:28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto

the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he

said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left

those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the

naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou

mightest see the battle. <against> <anger> <art> <battle>

1SA-17:29 And David said, What have I now done? [Is there] not a

cause? <cause> <david> <done> <have> <now> <said> <there> <what>

1SA-17:30 And he turned from him toward another, and spake after

the same manner:and the people answered him again after the

former manner. <after> <again> <another> <answered> <former>

1SA-17:31 And when the words were heard which David spake, they

rehearsed [them] before Saul:and he sent for him. <before>

1SA-17:32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail

because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this

Philistine. <because> <david> <fail> <fight> <go> <heart> <him>

<with>

1SA-17:33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go

against this Philistine to fight with him:for thou [art but] a

youth, and he a man of war from his youth. <against> <art>

1SA-17:34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his

father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a

lamb out of the flock:<bear> <came> <david> <flock> <kept>

1SA-17:35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered

[it] out of his mouth:and when he arose against me, I caught

[him] by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. <after>

1SA-17:36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear:and this

uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath

defied the armies of the living God. <armies> <bear> <both>

1SA-17:37 David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of

the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will

deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said

unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee. <bear> <david>

1SA-17:38 And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an

helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of

mail. <also> <armed> <armour> <brass> <coat> <david> <head>

1SA-17:39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he

assayed to go; for he had not proved [it] . And David said unto

Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved [them] . And

David put them off him. <armour> <assayed> <cannot> <david>

1SA-17:40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five

smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag

which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling [was] in his hand:

and he drew near to the Philistine. <bag> <brook> <chose> <drew>

1SA-17:41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David;

and the man that bare the shield [went] before him. <bare>

1SA-17:42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David,

he disdained him:for he was [but] a youth, and ruddy, and of a

fair countenance. <countenance> <david> <disdained> <fair> <him>

1SA-17:43 And the Philistine said unto David, [Am] I a dog, that

thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David

by his gods. <comest> <cursed> <david> <dog> <gods> <philistine>

1SA-17:44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I

will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts

of the field. <air> <beasts> <come> <david> <field> <flesh>

1SA-17:45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me

with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield:but I come to

thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of

Israel, whom thou hast defied. <armies> <come> <comest> <david>

1SA-17:46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand;

and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will

give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto

the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that

all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. <air>

1SA-17:47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth

not with sword and spear:for the battle [is] the LORD's, and he

will give you into our hands. <all> <assembly> <battle> <give>

1SA-17:48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and

came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran

toward the army to meet the Philistine. <army> <arose> <came>

1SA-17:49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a

stone, and slang [it] , and smote the Philistine in his forehead,

that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his

face to the earth. <bag> <david> <earth> <face> <fell>

1SA-17:50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling

and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but

[there was] no sword in the hand of David. <david> <hand> <him>

1SA-17:51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine,

and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and

slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the

Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled. <champion>

1SA-17:52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted,

and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and

to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell

down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.

1SA-17:53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after

the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents. <after> <chasing>

1SA-17:54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought

it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent. <armour>

<took>

1SA-17:55 And when Saul saw David go forth against the

Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner,

whose son [is] this youth? And Abner said, [As] thy soul liveth,

O king, I cannot tell. <against> <cannot> <captain> <david>

1SA-17:56 And the king said, Inquire thou whose son the

stripling [is] . <inquire> <king> <said> <son> <stripling>

<whose>

1SA-17:57 And as David returned from the slaughter of the

Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the

head of the Philistine in his hand. <before> <brought> <david>

1SA-17:58 And Saul said to him, Whose son [art] thou, [thou]

young man? And David answered, I [am] the son of thy servant

Jesse the Bethlehemite. <answered> <art> <bethlehemite> <david>

1SA-18:1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of

speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the

soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. <came>

1SA-18:2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no

more home to his father's house. <day> <go> <him> <home> <house>

1SA-18:3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he

loved him as his own soul. <because> <covenant> <david> <him>

1SA-18:4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that [was]

upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his

sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle. <bow> <david> <even>

1SA-18:5 And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, [and]

behaved himself wisely:and Saul set him over the men of war, and

he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the

sight of Saul's servants. <all> <also> <behaved> <david> <him>

1SA-18:6 And it came to pass as they came, when David was

returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women

came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet

king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of music.

1SA-18:7 And the women answered [one another] as they played,

and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten

thousands. <another> <answered> <david> <hath> <one> <played>

1SA-18:8 And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him;

and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to

me they have ascribed [but] thousands:and [what] can he have

more but the kingdom? <ascribed> <can> <david> <displeased>

1SA-18:9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward. <david>

1SA-18:10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil

spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst

of the house:and David played with his hand, as at other times:

and [there was] a javelin in Saul's hand. <came> <david> <evil>

<with>

1SA-18:11 And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite

David even to the wall [with it] . And David avoided out of his

presence twice. <avoided> <cast> <david> <even> <javelin>

1SA-18:12 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was

with him, and was departed from Saul. <afraid> <because> <david>

1SA-18:13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his

captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the

people. <before> <came> <captain> <him> <made> <over> <people>

1SA-18:14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and

the LORD [was] with him. <all> <behaved> <david> <him> <himself>

1SA-18:15 Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very

wisely, he was afraid of him. <afraid> <behaved> <him> <himself>

1SA-18:16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went

out and came in before them. <all> <because> <before> <came>

1SA-18:17 And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab,

her will I give thee to wife:only be thou valiant for me, and

fight the LORD'S battles. For Saul said, Let not mine hand be

upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.

1SA-18:18 And David said unto Saul, Who [am] I? and what [is] my

life, [or] my father's family in Israel, that I should be son in

law to the king? <david> <family> <israel> <king> <law> <life>

1SA-18:19 But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's

daughter should have been given to David, that she was given

unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife. <been> <came> <daughter>

1SA-18:20 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David:and they told

Saul, and the thing pleased him. <daughter> <david> <him>

1SA-18:21 And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a

snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be

against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day

be my son in law in [the one of] the twain. <against> <david>

1SA-18:22 And Saul commanded his servants, [saying] , Commune

with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in

thee, and all his servants love thee:now therefore be the king's

son in law. <all> <behold> <commanded> <commune> <david>

1SA-18:23 And Saul's servants spake those words in the ears of

David. And David said, Seemeth it to you [a] light [thing] to be

a king's son in law, seeing that I [am] a poor man, and lightly

esteemed? <david> <ears> <esteemed> <law> <light> <lightly>

1SA-18:24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this

manner spake David. <david> <him> <manner> <on> <saul> <saying>

1SA-18:25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king

desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the

Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul

thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. <any>

1SA-18:26 And when his servants told David these words, it

pleased David well to be the king's son in law:and the days were

not expired. <david> <days> <expired> <law> <pleased> <servants>

1SA-18:27 Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and

slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their

foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he

might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his

daughter to wife. <arose> <brought> <daughter> <david>

1SA-18:28 And Saul saw and knew that the LORD [was] with David,

and [that] Michal Saul's daughter loved him. <daughter> <david>

1SA-18:29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul

became David's enemy continually. <afraid> <became>

1SA-18:30 Then the princes of the Philistines went forth:and it

came to pass, after they went forth, [that] David behaved

himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his

name was much set by. <after> <all> <behaved> <came> <david>

1SA-19:1 And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his

servants, that they should kill David. <all> <david> <jonathan>

1SA-19:2 But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David:and

Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee:

now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the

morning, and abide in a secret [place] , and hide thyself:

1SA-19:3 And I will go out and stand beside my father in the

field where thou [art] , and I will commune with my father of

thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee. <art> <beside>

1SA-19:4 And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father,

and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant,

against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and

because his works [have been] to thee-ward very good:<against>

1SA-19:5 For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the

Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all

Israel:thou sawest [it] , and didst rejoice:wherefore then wilt

thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?

1SA-19:6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan:and Saul

sware, [As] the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain. <hearkened>

1SA-19:7 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all

those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in

his presence, as in times past. <all> <brought> <called> <david>

1SA-19:8 And there was war again:and David went out, and fought

with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and

they fled from him. <again> <david> <fled> <fought> <great>

<with>

1SA-19:9 And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he

sat in his house with his javelin in his hand:and David played

with [his] hand. <david> <evil> <hand> <house> <javelin> <lord>

1SA-19:10 And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with

the javelin; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he

smote the javelin into the wall:and David fled, and escaped that

night. <away> <david> <escaped> <even> <fled> <into> <javelin>

1SA-19:11 Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch

him, and to slay him in the morning:and Michal David's wife told

him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou

shalt be slain. <also> <him> <house> <life> <messengers>

1SA-19:12 So Michal let David down through a window:and he went,

and fled, and escaped. <david> <down> <escaped> <fled> <let>

1SA-19:13 And Michal took an image, and laid [it] in the bed,

and put a pillow of goats' [hair] for his bolster, and covered

[it] with a cloth. <bed> <bolster> <cloth> <covered> <hair>

1SA-19:14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said,

He [is] sick. <david> <messengers> <said> <saul> <sent> <she>

1SA-19:15 And Saul sent the messengers [again] to see David,

saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.

1SA-19:16 And when the messengers were come in, behold, [there

was] an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' [hair] for his

bolster. <bed> <behold> <bolster> <come> <hair> <image>

1SA-19:17 And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me

so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal

answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill

thee? <answered> <away> <deceived> <enemy> <escaped> <go> <hast>

<why>

1SA-19:18 So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to

Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and

Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth. <all> <came> <david> <done>

1SA-19:19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] at

Naioth in Ramah. <behold> <david> <naioth> <ramah> <saul>

1SA-19:20 And Saul sent messengers to take David:and when they

saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing

[as] appointed over them, the spirit of God was upon the

messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied. <also> <appointed>
