1SA-12:9 And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them

into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into

the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of

Moab, and they fought against them. <against> <captain> <forgat>

1SA-12:10 And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned,

because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and

Ashtaroth:but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and

we will serve thee. <ashtaroth> <baalim> <because> <cried>

1SA-12:11 And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah,

and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on

every side, and ye dwelled safe. <bedan> <delivered> <dwelled>

1SA-12:12 And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children

of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king

shall reign over us:when the LORD your God [was] your king.

1SA-12:13 Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen,

[and] whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a

king over you. <behold> <chosen> <desired> <hath> <have> <king>

1SA-12:14 If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his

voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then

shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue

following the LORD your God:<against> <also> <both>

1SA-12:15 But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but

rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand

of the LORD be against you, as [it was] against your fathers.

1SA-12:16 Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which

the LORD will do before your eyes. <before> <do> <eyes> <great>

1SA-12:17 [Is it] not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the

LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive

and see that your wickedness [is] great, which ye have done in

the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king. <asking> <call>

1SA-12:18 So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent

thunder and rain that day:and all the people greatly feared the

LORD and Samuel. <all> <called> <day> <feared> <greatly> <lord>

1SA-12:19 And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy

servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not:for we have

added unto all our sins [this] evil, to ask us a king. <all>

1SA-12:20 And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not:ye have done

all this wickedness:yet turn not aside from following the LORD,

but serve the LORD with all your heart; <all> <aside> <done>

1SA-12:21 And turn ye not aside:for [then should ye go] after

vain [things] , which cannot profit nor deliver; for they [are]

vain. <after> <are> <aside> <cannot> <deliver> <go> <nor>

1SA-12:22 For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great

name's sake:because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his

people. <because> <forsake> <great> <hath> <lord> <make>

1SA-12:23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin

against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you:but I will teach you

the good and the right way:<against> <ceasing> <forbid> <god>

1SA-12:24 Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all

your heart; for consider how great [things] he hath done for you.

1SA-12:25 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be

consumed, both ye and your king. <both> <consumed> <do> <king>

1SA-13:1 Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two

years over Israel, <had> <israel> <one> <over> <reigned> <saul>

1SA-13:2 Saul chose him three thousand [men] of Israel;

[whereof] two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount

Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin:

and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.

1SA-13:3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that

[was] in Geba, and the Philistines heard [of it] . And Saul blew

the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews

hear. <all> <blew> <garrison> <geba> <hear> <heard> <hebrews>

1SA-13:4 And all Israel heard say [that] Saul had smitten a

garrison of the Philistines, and [that] Israel also was had in

abomination with the Philistines. And the people were called

together after Saul to Gilgal. <after> <all> <also> <called>

1SA-13:5 And the Philistines gathered themselves together to

fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand

horsemen, and people as the sand which [is] on the sea shore in

multitude:and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward

from Bethaven. <bethaven> <came> <chariots> <eastward> <fight>

1SA-13:6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait,

( for the people were distressed, ) then the people did hide

themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high

places, and in pits. <caves> <did> <distressed> <hide> <high>

1SA-13:7 And [some of] the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land

of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he [was] yet in Gilgal, and all

the people followed him trembling. <all> <followed> <gad>

1SA-13:8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time

that Samuel [had appointed] :but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and

the people were scattered from him. <appointed> <came> <days>

1SA-13:9 And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and

peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering. <bring>

<saul>

1SA-13:10 And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an

end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and

Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him. <behold>

1SA-13:11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said,

Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and [that]

thou camest not within the days appointed, and [that] the

Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash;

1SA-13:12 Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now

upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the

LORD:I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.

1SA-13:13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly:thou

hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he

commanded thee:for now would the LORD have established thy

kingdom upon Israel for ever. <commanded> <commandment> <done>

<would>

1SA-13:14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue:the LORD hath

sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath

commanded him [to be] captain over his people, because thou hast

not kept [that] which the LORD commanded thee. <after> <because>

1SA-13:15 And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto

Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people [that were]

present with him, about six hundred men. <arose> <benjamin>

1SA-13:16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people [that

were] present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin:but the

Philistines encamped in Michmash. <benjamin> <encamped> <gibeah>

1SA-13:17 And the spoilers came out of the camp of the

Philistines in three companies:one company turned unto the way

[that leadeth to] Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:<came> <camp>

1SA-13:18 And another company turned the way [to] Bethhoron:and

another company turned [to] the way of the border that looketh

to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness. <another>

1SA-13:19 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land

of Israel:for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make [them]

swords or spears:<all> <found> <hebrews> <israel> <land> <lest>

1SA-13:20 But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines,

to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his ax, and

his mattock. <all> <ax> <coulter> <down> <every> <israelites>

1SA-13:21 Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the

coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen

the goads. <axes> <coulters> <file> <forks> <goads> <had>

1SA-13:22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there

was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the

people that [were] with Saul and Jonathan:but with Saul and with

Jonathan his son was there found. <any> <battle> <came> <day>

1SA-13:23 And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the

passage of Michmash. <garrison> <michmash> <passage>

1SA-14:1 Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son

of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and

let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that [is] on the

other side. But he told not his father. <armour> <bare> <came>

1SA-14:2 And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under

a pomegranate tree which [is] in Migron:and the people that

[were] with him [were] about six hundred men; <gibeah> <him>

1SA-14:3 And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the

son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD'S priest in Shiloh,

wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.

1SA-14:4 And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to

go over unto the Philistines' garrison, [there was] a sharp rock

on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side:and the name

of the one [was] Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

1SA-14:5 The forefront of the one [was] situate northward over

against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.

1SA-14:6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour,

Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these

uncircumcised:it may be that the LORD will work for us:for

[there is] no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.

1SA-14:7 And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that [is] in

thine heart:turn thee; behold, I [am] with thee according to thy

heart. <all> <armourbearer> <behold> <do> <heart> <him> <said>

1SA-14:8 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto

[these] men, and we will discover ourselves unto them. <behold>

1SA-14:9 If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you;

then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto

them. <come> <go> <place> <say> <stand> <still> <tarry> <then>

1SA-14:10 But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go

up:for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand:and this

[shall be] a sign unto us. <come> <delivered> <go> <hand> <hath>

1SA-14:11 And both of them discovered themselves unto the

garrison of the Philistines:and the Philistines said, Behold,

the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid

themselves. <behold> <both> <come> <discovered> <forth>

1SA-14:12 And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his

armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a

thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me:

for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.

1SA-14:13 And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his

feet, and his armourbearer after him:and they fell before

Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him. <after>

1SA-14:14 And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his

armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an

half acre of land, [which] a yoke [of oxen might plow] .

<yoke>

1SA-14:15 And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and

among all the people:the garrison, and the spoilers, they also

trembled, and the earth quaked:so it was a very great trembling.

<very>

1SA-14:16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked;

and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating

down [one another] . <another> <away> <beating> <behold>

1SA-14:17 Then said Saul unto the people that [were] with him,

Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had

numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer [were] not

[there] . <armourbearer> <behold> <gone> <had> <him> <jonathan>

1SA-14:18 And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God.

For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.

1SA-14:19 And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest,

that the noise that [was] in the host of the Philistines went

on and increased:and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine

hand. <came> <hand> <host> <increased> <noise> <on> <pass>

1SA-14:20 And Saul and all the people that [were] with him

assembled themselves, and they came to the battle:and, behold,

every man's sword was against his fellow, [and there was] a very

great discomfiture. <against> <all> <assembled> <battle>

1SA-14:21 Moreover the Hebrews [that] were with the Philistines

before that time, which went up with them into the camp [from

the country] round about, even they also [turned] to be with the

Israelites that [were] with Saul and Jonathan. <also> <before>

1SA-14:22 Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid

themselves in mount Ephraim, [when] they heard that the

Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the

battle. <after> <all> <also> <battle> <ephraim> <even> <fled>

1SA-14:23 So the LORD saved Israel that day:and the battle

passed over unto Bethaven. <battle> <bethaven> <day> <israel>

1SA-14:24 And the men of Israel were distressed that day:for

Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed [be] the man that

eateth [any] food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine

enemies. So none of the people tasted [any] food. <any>

1SA-14:25 And all [they of] the land came to a wood; and there

was honey upon the ground. <all> <came> <ground> <honey> <land>

1SA-14:26 And when the people were come into the wood, behold,

the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth:for the

people feared the oath. <behold> <come> <dropped> <feared>

1SA-14:27 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the

people with the oath:wherefore he put forth the end of the rod

that [was] in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put

his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened. <charged>

1SA-14:28 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father

straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed [be]

the man that eateth [any] food this day. And the people were

faint. <answered> <any> <charged> <cursed> <day> <eateth>

1SA-14:29 Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land:

see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I

tasted a little of this honey. <because> <been> <enlightened>

1SA-14:30 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to

day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had

there not been now a much greater slaughter among the

Philistines? <among> <been> <day> <eaten> <enemies> <found>

1SA-14:31 And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash

to Aijalon:and the people were very faint. <aijalon> <day>

1SA-14:32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep,

and oxen, and calves, and slew [them] on the ground:and the

people did eat [them] with the blood. <blood> <calves> <did>

1SA-14:33 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin

against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said,

Ye have transgressed:roll a great stone unto me this day.

1SA-14:34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people,

and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every

man his sheep, and slay [them] here, and eat; and sin not

against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people

brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew [them]

there. <against> <all> <among> <blood> <bring> <brought>

1SA-14:35 And Saul built an altar unto the LORD:the same was the

first altar that he built unto the LORD. <altar> <built> <first>

1SA-14:36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by

night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not

leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good

unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto

God. <after> <do> <down> <draw> <go> <god> <good> <hither>

1SA-14:37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after

the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel?

But he answered him not that day. <after> <answered> <asked>

1SA-14:38 And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of

the people:and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.

1SA-14:39 For, [as] the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though

it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But [there was]

not a man among all the people [that] answered him. <all>

<which>

1SA-14:40 Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I

and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people

said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee. <all> <do>

1SA-14:41 Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give

a perfect [lot] . And Saul and Jonathan were taken:but the

people escaped. <escaped> <give> <god> <israel> <jonathan>

1SA-14:42 And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my

son. And Jonathan was taken. <between> <cast> <jonathan> <lots>

1SA-14:43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast

done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little

honey with the end of the rod that [was] in mine hand, [and] ,

lo, I must die. <did> <die> <done> <end> <hand> <hast> <him>

1SA-14:44 And Saul answered, God do so and more also:for thou

shalt surely die, Jonathan. <also> <answered> <die> <do> <god>

1SA-14:45 And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who

hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid:[as] the

LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the

ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people

rescued Jonathan, that he died not. <day> <die> <died> <fall>

1SA-14:46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines:and

the Philistines went to their own place. <following> <own>

1SA-14:47 So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought

against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against

the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings

of Zobah, and against the Philistines:and whithersoever he

turned himself, he vexed [them] . <against> <all> <ammon>

1SA-14:48 And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and

delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them.

1SA-14:49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and

Melchishua:and the names of his two daughters [were these] ; the

name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:

1SA-14:50 And the name of Saul's wife [was] Ahinoam, the

daughter of Ahimaaz:and the name of the captain of his host

[was] Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle. <ahimaaz> <ahinoam>

1SA-14:51 And Kish [was] the father of Saul; and Ner the father

of Abner [was] the son of Abiel. <father> <kish> <ner> <saul>

<son>

1SA-14:52 And there was sore war against the Philistines all the

days of Saul:and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant

man, he took him unto him. <against> <all> <any> <days> <him>

1SA-15:1 Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint

thee [to be] king over his people, over Israel:now therefore

hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD. <also>

1SA-15:2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember [that] which

Amalek did to Israel, how he laid [wait] for him in the way,

when he came up from Egypt. <amalek> <came> <did> <egypt> <him>

1SA-15:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that

they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman,

infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. <all> <amalek>

1SA-15:4 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered

them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand

men of Judah. <footmen> <gathered> <hundred> <judah> <men>

<two>

1SA-15:5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the

valley. <amalek> <came> <city> <laid> <saul> <valley> <wait>

1SA-15:6 And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you

down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them:for

ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came

up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the

Amalekites. <all> <amalekites> <among> <came> <children>

<with>

1SA-15:7 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah [until] thou

comest to Shur, that [is] over against Egypt. <against>

1SA-15:8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and

utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.

1SA-15:9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of

the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs,

and all [that was] good, and would not utterly destroy them:but

every thing [that was] vile and refuse, that they destroyed

utterly. <agag> <all> <best> <destroy> <destroyed> <every>

1SA-15:10 Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,

1SA-15:11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul [to be] king:

for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed

my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the

LORD all night. <all> <back> <commandments> <cried> <following>

1SA-15:12 And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning,

it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold,

he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and

gone down to Gilgal. <behold> <came> <carmel> <down> <early>

1SA-15:13 And Samuel came to Saul:and Saul said unto him,

Blessed [be] thou of the LORD:I have performed the commandment

of the LORD. <blessed> <came> <commandment> <have> <him> <lord>

1SA-15:14 And Samuel said, What [meaneth] then this bleating of

the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?

1SA-15:15 And Saul said, They have brought them from the

Amalekites:for the people spared the best of the sheep and of

the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we

have utterly destroyed. <amalekites> <best> <brought>

1SA-15:16 Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee

what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him,

Say on. <hath> <him> <lord> <night> <on> <said> <samuel> <saul>

1SA-15:17 And Samuel said, When thou [wast] little in thine own

sight, [wast] thou not [made] the head of the tribes of Israel,

and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel? <anointed> <head>

1SA-15:18 And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and

utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against

them until they be consumed. <against> <amalekites> <consumed>

1SA-15:19 Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the

LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight

of the LORD? <didst> <evil> <fly> <lord> <obey> <sight> <spoil>

1SA-15:20 And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the

voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me,

and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly

destroyed the Amalekites. <agag> <amalek> <amalekites> <brought>

1SA-15:21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the

chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to

sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal. <been> <chief>

<which>

1SA-15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD [as great] delight in

burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the

LORD? Behold, to obey [is] better than sacrifice, [and] to

hearken than the fat of rams. <behold> <better> <burnt>

1SA-15:23 For rebellion [is as] the sin of witchcraft, and

stubbornness [is as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast

rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from

[being] king. <also> <because> <being> <hast> <hath> <idolatry>

1SA-15:24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned:for I have

transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words:because

I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. <because>

1SA-15:25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn

again with me, that I may worship the LORD. <again> <lord> <may>

1SA-15:26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee:

for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath

rejected thee from being king over Israel. <being> <hast> <hath>

1SA-15:27 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold

upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. <away> <go> <hold>

1SA-15:28 And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the

kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a

neighbour of thine, [that is] better than thou. <better> <day>

1SA-15:29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor

repent:for he [is] not a man, that he should repent. <also>

1SA-15:30 Then he said, I have sinned:[yet] honour me now, I

pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel,

and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.

1SA-15:31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped

the LORD. <after> <again> <lord> <samuel> <saul> <so> <turned>

1SA-15:32 Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king

of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag

said, Surely the bitterness of death is past. <agag>

1SA-15:33 And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women

childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And

Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal. <agag>

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>

1SA-19:21 And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers,

and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the

third time, and they prophesied also. <again> <also> <likewise>

1SA-19:22 Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well

that [is] in Sechu:and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and

David? And [one] said, Behold, [they be] at Naioth in Ramah.

<where>

1SA-19:23 And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah:and the spirit

of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until

he came to Naioth in Ramah. <also> <came> <god> <him> <naioth>

1SA-19:24 And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied

before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day

and all that night. Wherefore they say, [Is] Saul also among the

prophets? <all> <also> <among> <before> <clothes> <day> <down>

1SA-20:1 And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said

before Jonathan, What have I done? what [is] mine iniquity? and

what [is] my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?

<what>

1SA-20:2 And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die:

behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but

that he will show it me:and why should my father hide this thing

from me? it [is] not [so] . <behold> <die> <do> <either>

1SA-20:3 And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father

certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he

saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved:but truly

[as] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, [there is] but a

step between me and death. <between> <certainly> <david> <death>

1SA-20:4 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul

desireth, I will even do [it] for thee. <david> <desireth> <do>

1SA-20:5 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow [is]

the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat:

but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the

third [day] at even. <behold> <david> <day> <even> <fail>

1SA-20:6 If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly

asked [leave] of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city:for

[there is] a yearly sacrifice there for all the family. <all>

1SA-20:7 If he say thus, [It is] well; thy servant shall have

peace:but if he be very wroth, [then] be sure that evil is

determined by him. <determined> <evil> <have> <him> <peace>

1SA-20:8 Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for

thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with

thee:notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me

thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father? <bring>

1SA-20:9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee:for if I knew

certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon

thee, then would not I tell it thee? <certainly> <come>

1SA-20:10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or

what [if] thy father answer thee roughly? <answer> <david>

<who>

1SA-20:11 And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out

into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.

1SA-20:12 And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel,

when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, [or] the

third [day] , and, behold, [if there be] good toward David, and

I then send not unto thee, and show it thee; <any> <behold>

1SA-20:13 The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan:but if it

please my father [to do] thee evil, then I will show it thee,

and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace:and the LORD be

with thee, as he hath been with my father. <away> <been> <do>

1SA-20:14 And thou shalt not only while yet I live show me the

kindness of the LORD, that I die not:<die> <kindness> <live>

1SA-20:15 But [also] thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my

house for ever:no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of

David every one from the face of the earth. <also> <cut> <david>

1SA-20:16 So Jonathan made [a covenant] with the house of David,

[saying] , Let the LORD even require [it] at the hand of David's

enemies. <covenant> <david> <enemies> <even> <hand> <house>

1SA-20:17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he

loved him:for he loved him as he loved his own soul. <again>

<swear>

1SA-20:18 Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow [is] the new

moon:and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.

1SA-20:19 And [when] thou hast stayed three days, [then] thou

shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst

hide thyself when the business was [in hand] , and shalt remain

by the stone Ezel. <business> <come> <days> <didst> <down>

1SA-20:20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side [thereof] ,

as though I shot at a mark. <arrows> <mark> <on> <shoot> <shot>

1SA-20:21 And, behold, I will send a lad, [saying] , Go, find

out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the

arrows [are] on this side of thee, take them; then come thou:for

[there is] peace to thee, and no hurt; [as] the LORD liveth.

1SA-20:22 But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the

arrows [are] beyond thee; go thy way:for the LORD hath sent thee

away. <are> <arrows> <away> <behold> <beyond> <go> <hath> <lord>

1SA-20:23 And [as touching] the matter which thou and I have

spoken of, behold, the LORD [be] between thee and me for ever.

1SA-20:24 So David hid himself in the field:and when the new

moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat. <come> <david>

1SA-20:25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times,

[even] upon a seat by the wall:and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat

by Saul's side, and David's place was empty. <arose> <empty>

1SA-20:26 Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day:for he

thought, Something hath befallen him, he [is] not clean; surely

he [is] not clean. <any> <befallen> <clean> <day> <hath> <him>

1SA-20:27 And it came to pass on the morrow, [which was] the

second [day] of the month, that David's place was empty:and Saul

said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of

Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day? <came> <cometh>

1SA-20:28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked

[leave] of me [to go] to Bethlehem:<answered> <asked>

1SA-20:29 And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family

hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded

me [to be there] :and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes,

let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he

cometh not unto the king's table. <away> <brethren> <brother>

1SA-20:30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he

said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious [woman] , do

not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own

confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?

1SA-20:31 For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground,

thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now

send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die. <die>

1SA-20:32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto

him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done? <answered>

1SA-20:33 And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him:whereby

Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.

1SA-20:34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and

did eat no meat the second day of the month:for he was grieved

for David, because his father had done him shame. <anger>

1SA-20:35 And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went

out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a

little lad with him. <appointed> <came> <david> <field> <him>

<with>

1SA-20:36 And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows

which I shoot. [And] as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

1SA-20:37 And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow

which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said,

[Is] not the arrow beyond thee? <after> <arrow> <beyond> <come>

<which>

1SA-20:38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste,

stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to

his master. <after> <arrows> <came> <cried> <gathered> <haste>

1SA-20:39 But the lad knew not any thing:only Jonathan and David

knew the matter. <any> <david> <jonathan> <knew> <lad> <matter>

1SA-20:40 And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said

unto him, Go, carry [them] to the city. <artillery> <carry>

1SA-20:41 [And] as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of

[a place] toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground,

and bowed himself three times:and they kissed one another, and

wept one with another, until David exceeded. <another> <arose>

1SA-20:42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as

we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The

LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed

for ever. And he arose and departed:and Jonathan went into the

city. <arose> <between> <both> <city> <david> <departed> <ever>

1SA-21:1 Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest:and

Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him,

Why [art] thou alone, and no man with thee? <afraid> <ahimelech>

1SA-21:2 And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath

commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know

any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I

have commanded thee:and I have appointed [my] servants to such

and such a place. <ahimelech> <any> <appointed> <business>

1SA-21:3 Now therefore what is under thine hand? give [me] five

[loaves of] bread in mine hand, or what there is present.

1SA-21:4 And the priest answered David, and said, [There is] no

common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if

the young men have kept themselves at least from women.

1SA-21:5 And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a

truth women [have been] kept from us about these three days,

since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and

[the bread is] in a manner common, yea, though it were

sanctified this day in the vessel. <answered> <are> <been>

1SA-21:6 So the priest gave him hallowed [bread] :for there was

no bread there but the showbread, that was taken from before the

LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away. <away>

1SA-21:7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul [was] there

that day, detained before the LORD; and his name [was] Doeg, an

Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that [belonged] to Saul.

<there>

1SA-21:8 And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here

under thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my

sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business

required haste. <ahimelech> <because> <brought> <business>

1SA-21:9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the

Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it

[is here] wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod:if thou wilt take

that, take [it] :for [there is] no other save that here. And

David said, [There is] none like that; give it me. <behind>

1SA-21:10 And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul,

and went to Achish the king of Gath. <arose> <david> <day>

1SA-21:11 And the servants of Achish said unto him, [Is] not

this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to

another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands,

and David his ten thousands? <another> <dances> <david> <did>

1SA-21:12 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was

sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath. <afraid> <david> <gath>

1SA-21:13 And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned

himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the

gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard. <beard>

1SA-21:14 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man

is mad:wherefore [then] have ye brought him to me? <brought>

1SA-21:15 Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this

[fellow] to play the mad man in my presence? shall this [fellow]

come into my house? <brought> <come> <fellow> <have> <house>

1SA-22:1 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the

cave Adullam:and when his brethren and all his father's house

heard [it] , they went down thither to him. <adullam> <all>

1SA-22:2 And every one [that was] in distress, and every one

that [was] in debt, and every one [that was] discontented,

gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them:

and there were with him about four hundred men. <became>

1SA-22:3 And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab:and he said

unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee,

come forth, [and be] with you, till I know what God will do for

me. <come> <david> <do> <father> <forth> <god> <king> <know>

1SA-22:4 And he brought them before the king of Moab:and they

dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold. <all>

1SA-22:5 And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the

hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David

departed, and came into the forest of Hareth. <came> <david>

1SA-22:6 When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men

that [were] with him, ( now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in

Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants [were]

standing about him; ) <all> <david> <discovered> <gibeah> <hand>

1SA-22:7 Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him,

Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of

you fields and vineyards, [and] make you all captains of

thousands, and captains of hundreds; <all> <benjamites>

1SA-22:8 That all of you have conspired against me, and [there

is] none that showeth me that my son hath made a league with the

son of Jesse, and [there is] none of you that is sorry for me,

or showeth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant

against me, to lie in wait, as at this day? <against> <all>

1SA-22:9 Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the

servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob,

to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub. <ahimelech> <ahitub> <answered>

1SA-22:10 And he inquired of the LORD for him, and gave him

victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.

1SA-22:11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the

son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that

[were] in Nob:and they came all of them to the king. <ahimelech>

1SA-22:12 And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he

answered, Here I [am] , my lord. <ahitub> <answered> <hear>

1SA-22:13 And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against

me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread,

and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should

rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day? <against>

1SA-22:14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who

[is so] faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the

king's son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable

in thine house? <ahimelech> <all> <among> <answered> <bidding>

1SA-22:15 Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? be it far

from me:let not the king impute [any] thing unto his servant,

[nor] to all the house of my father:for thy servant knew nothing

of all this, less or more. <all> <any> <begin> <did> <far>

1SA-22:16 And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech,

thou, and all thy father's house. <ahimelech> <all> <die>

1SA-22:17 And the king said unto the footmen that stood about

him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand

also [is] with David, and because they knew when he fled, and

did not show it to me. But the servants of the king would not

put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.

1SA-22:18 And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon

the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the

priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that

did wear a linen ephod. <day> <did> <doeg> <edomite> <ephod>

1SA-22:19 And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the

edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings,

and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.

1SA-22:20 And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub,

named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David. <after>

1SA-22:21 And Abiathar showed David that Saul had slain the

LORD'S priests. <david> <had> <priests> <saul> <showed> <slain>

1SA-22:22 And David said unto Abiathar, I knew [it] that day,

when Doeg the Edomite [was] there, that he would surely tell

Saul:I have occasioned [the death] of all the persons of thy

father's house. <all> <david> <day> <death> <doeg> <edomite>

1SA-22:23 Abide thou with me, fear not:for he that seeketh my

life seeketh thy life:but with me thou [shalt be] in safeguard.

1SA-23:1 Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines

fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshingfloors.

1SA-23:2 Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I

go and smite these Philistines? And the LORD said unto David, Go,

and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah. <david> <go>

1SA-23:3 And David's men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid

here in Judah:how much more then if we come to Keilah against

the armies of the Philistines? <afraid> <against> <armies>

1SA-23:4 Then David inquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD

answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah:for I will

deliver the Philistines into thine hand. <again> <answered>

1SA-23:5 So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with

the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them

with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

1SA-23:6 And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech

fled to David to Keilah, [that] he came down [with] an ephod in

his hand. <ahimelech> <came> <david> <down> <ephod> <fled>

1SA-23:7 And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And

Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut

in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars. <bars>

<town>

1SA-23:8 And Saul called all the people together to war, to go

down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men. <all> <besiege>

1SA-23:9 And David knew that Saul secretly practiced mischief

against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither

the ephod. <against> <bring> <david> <ephod> <him> <hither>

1SA-23:10 Then said David, O LORD God of Israel, thy servant

hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to

destroy the city for my sake. <certainly> <city> <come> <david>

1SA-23:11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand?

will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD God of

Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the LORD said, He

will come down. <beseech> <come> <deliver> <down> <god> <hand>

1SA-23:12 Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and

my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will

deliver [thee] up. <david> <deliver> <hand> <into> <keilah>

1SA-23:13 Then David and his men, [which were] about six hundred,

arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they

could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from

Keilah; and he forbare to go forth. <arose> <could> <david>

1SA-23:14 And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and

remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul

sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.

1SA-23:15 And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life:

and David [was] in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood. <come>

1SA-23:16 And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into

the wood, and strengthened his hand in God. <arose> <david>

1SA-23:17 And he said unto him, Fear not:for the hand of Saul my

father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel,

and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father

knoweth. <also> <father> <fear> <find> <hand> <him> <israel>

1SA-23:18 And they two made a covenant before the LORD:and David

abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house. <before>

<wood>

1SA-23:19 Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying,

Doth not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood,

in the hill of Hachilah, which [is] on the south of Jeshimon?

1SA-23:20 Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the

desire of thy soul to come down; and our part [shall be] to

deliver him into the king's hand. <all> <come> <deliver>

1SA-23:21 And Saul said, Blessed [be] ye of the LORD; for ye

have compassion on me. <blessed> <compassion> <have> <lord> <on>

1SA-23:22 Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his

place where his haunt is, [and] who hath seen him there:for it

is told me [that] he dealeth very subtly. <dealeth> <go> <hath>

1SA-23:23 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking

places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the

certainty, and I will go with you:and it shall come to pass, if

he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the

thousands of Judah. <again> <all> <certainty> <come> <go>

1SA-23:24 And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul:but David

and his men [were] in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on

the south of Jeshimon. <arose> <before> <david> <jeshimon>

<ziph>

1SA-23:25 Saul also and his men went to seek [him] . And they

told David:wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the

wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard [that] , he pursued

after David in the wilderness of Maon. <after> <also> <came>

1SA-23:26 And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David

and his men on that side of the mountain:and David made haste to

get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David

and his men round about to take them. <away> <compassed> <david>

1SA-23:27 But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste

thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.

1SA-23:28 Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and

went against the Philistines:therefore they called that place

Selahammahlekoth. <after> <against> <called> <david>

1SA-23:29 And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong

holds at Engedi. <david> <dwelt> <engedi> <holds> <strong>

1SA-24:1 And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from

following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold,

David [is] in the wilderness of Engedi. <behold> <came> <david>

1SA-24:2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all

Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the

wild goats. <all> <chosen> <david> <goats> <israel> <men>

<wild>

1SA-24:3 And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where [was] a

cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet:and David and his men

remained in the sides of the cave. <came> <cave> <cover> <david>

<where>

1SA-24:4 And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of

which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine

enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall

seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of

Saul's robe privily. <arose> <behold> <cut> <david> <day>

1SA-24:5 And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote

him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt. <afterward> <because>

1SA-24:6 And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should

do this thing unto my master, the LORD'S anointed, to stretch

forth mine hand against him, seeing he [is] the anointed of the

LORD. <against> <anointed> <do> <forbid> <forth> <hand> <him>

1SA-24:7 So David stayed his servants with these words, and

suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of

the cave, and went on [his] way. <against> <cave> <david> <on>

1SA-24:8 David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave,

and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul

looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and

bowed himself. <after> <afterward> <also> <arose> <behind>

<with>

1SA-24:9 And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's

words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt? <behold> <david>

<words>

1SA-24:10 Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the

LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave:and

[some] bade [me] kill thee:but [mine eye] spared thee; and I

said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he

[is] the LORD'S anointed. <against> <anointed> <bade> <behold>

1SA-24:11 Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy

robe in my hand:for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and

killed thee not, know thou and see that [there is] neither evil

nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against

thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it. <against> <cut>

1SA-24:12 The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD

avenge me of thee:but mine hand shall not be upon thee. <avenge>

1SA-24:13 As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness

proceedeth from the wicked:but mine hand shall not be upon thee.

1SA-24:14 After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom

dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea. <after> <come>

1SA-24:15 The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and

thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine

hand. <between> <cause> <deliver> <hand> <judge> <lord> <plead>

1SA-24:16 And it came to pass, when David had made an end of

speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, [Is] this thy

voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.

1SA-24:17 And he said to David, Thou [art] more righteous than I:

for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee

evil. <art> <david> <evil> <good> <hast> <have> <more>

1SA-24:18 And thou hast showed this day how that thou hast dealt

well with me:forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into

thine hand, thou killedst me not. <day> <dealt> <delivered>

1SA-24:19 For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well

away? wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that thou hast

done unto me this day. <away> <day> <done> <enemy> <find> <go>

1SA-24:20 And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be

king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in

thine hand. <behold> <established> <hand> <israel> <king>

1SA-24:21 Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD, that thou

wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not

destroy my name out of my father's house. <after> <cut>

1SA-24:22 And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but

David and his men gat them up unto the hold. <david> <gat>

1SA-25:1 And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered

together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah.

And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

1SA-25:2 And [there was] a man in Maon, whose possessions [were]

in Carmel; and the man [was] very great, and he had three

thousand sheep, and a thousand goats:and he was shearing his

sheep in Carmel. <carmel> <goats> <great> <had> <man> <maon>

1SA-25:3 Now the name of the man [was] Nabal; and the name of

his wife Abigail:and [she was] a woman of good understanding,

and of a beautiful countenance:but the man [was] churlish and

evil in his doings; and he [was] of the house of Caleb.

1SA-25:4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear

his sheep. <david> <did> <heard> <nabal> <shear> <sheep>

1SA-25:5 And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto

the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet

him in my name:<carmel> <david> <get> <go> <greet> <him> <men>

1SA-25:6 And thus shall ye say to him that liveth [in

prosperity] , Peace [be] both to thee, and peace [be] to thine

house, and peace [be] unto all that thou hast. <all> <both>

<thus>

1SA-25:7 And now I have heard that thou hast shearers:now thy

shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was

there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.

<with>

1SA-25:8 Ask thy young men, and they will show thee. Wherefore

let the young men find favour in thine eyes:for we come in a

good day:give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto

thy servants, and to thy son David. <ask> <come> <cometh>

1SA-25:9 And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal

according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

1SA-25:10 And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who

[is] David? and who [is] the son of Jesse? there be many

servants now a days that break away every man from his master.

<who>

1SA-25:11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh

that I have killed for my shearers, and give [it] unto men, whom

I know not whence they [be] ? <bread> <flesh> <give> <have>

<whom>

1SA-25:12 So David's young men turned their way, and went again,

and came and told him all those sayings. <again> <all> <came>

<young>

1SA-25:13 And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his

sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also

girded on his sword:and there went up after David about four

hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff. <after> <also>

1SA-25:14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife,

saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to

salute our master; and he railed on them. <behold> <david>

1SA-25:15 But the men [were] very good unto us, and we were not

hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant

with them, when we were in the fields:<any> <conversant>

1SA-25:16 They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all

the while we were with them keeping the sheep. <all> <both>

1SA-25:17 Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for

evil is determined against our master, and against all his

household:for he [is such] a son of Belial, that [a man] cannot

speak to him. <against> <all> <belial> <cannot> <consider>

1SA-25:18 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves,

and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five

measures of parched [corn] , and an hundred clusters of raisins,

and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid [them] on asses. <asses>

1SA-25:19 And she said unto her servants, Go on before me;

behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.

1SA-25:20 And it was [so, as] she rode on the ass, that she came

down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men

came down against her; and she met them. <against> <ass>

1SA-25:21 Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all

that this [fellow] hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was

missed of all that [pertained] unto him:and he hath requited me

evil for good. <all> <david> <evil> <fellow> <good> <had> <hath>

1SA-25:22 So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if

I leave of all that [pertain] to him by the morning light any

that pisseth against the wall. <against> <all> <also> <any>

1SA-25:23 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted

off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed

herself to the ground, <ass> <before> <bowed> <david> <face>

1SA-25:24 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord,

[upon] me [let this] iniquity [be] :and let thine handmaid, I

pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine

handmaid. <audience> <feet> <fell> <handmaid> <hear> <iniquity>

1SA-25:25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of

Belial, [even] Nabal:for as his name [is] , so [is] he; Nabal

[is] his name, and folly [is] with him:but I thine handmaid saw

not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send. <belial>

1SA-25:26 Now therefore, my lord, [as] the LORD liveth, and [as]

thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from

coming to [shed] blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own

hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord,

be as Nabal. <avenging> <blood> <coming> <enemies> <evil> <hand>

1SA-25:27 And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath

brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men

that follow my lord. <blessing> <brought> <even> <follow>

1SA-25:28 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid:

for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because

my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been

found in thee [all] thy days. <all> <battles> <because> <been>

1SA-25:29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy

soul:but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of

life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them

shall he sling out, [as out] of the middle of a sling. <bound>

1SA-25:30 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have

done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken

concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;

1SA-25:31 That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of

heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless,

or that my lord hath avenged himself:but when the LORD shall

have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.

1SA-25:32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed [be] the LORD God

of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:<blessed> <david>

1SA-25:33 And blessed [be] thy advice, and blessed [be] thou,

which hast kept me this day from coming to [shed] blood, and

from avenging myself with mine own hand. <advice> <avenging>

1SA-25:34 For in very deed, [as] the LORD God of Israel liveth,

which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst

hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto

Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.

1SA-25:35 So David received of her hand [that] which she had

brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house;

see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.

1SA-25:36 And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a

feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart

[was] merry within him, for he [was] very drunken:wherefore she

told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

1SA-25:37 But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was

gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that

his heart died within him, and he became [as] a stone. <became>

1SA-25:38 And it came to pass about ten days [after] , that the

LORD smote Nabal, that he died. <after> <came> <days> <died>

1SA-25:39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said,

Blessed [be] the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my

reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from

evil:for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his

own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her

to him to wife. <blessed> <cause> <communed> <david> <dead>

1SA-25:40 And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to

Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to

take thee to him to wife. <carmel> <come> <david> <him> <saying>

1SA-25:41 And she arose, and bowed herself on [her] face to the

earth, and said, Behold, [let] thine handmaid [be] a servant to

wash the feet of the servants of my lord. <arose> <behold>

1SA-25:42 And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass,

with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went

after the messengers of David, and became his wife. <after>

1SA-25:43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also

both of them his wives. <ahinoam> <also> <both> <david>

1SA-25:44 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife,

to Phalti the son of Laish, which [was] of Gallim. <daughter>

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? <before> <came> <david> <doth> <gibeah>

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. <arose> <chosen> <david>

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. <after>

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

Saul was come in very deed. <come> <david> <deed> <saul> <sent>

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. <arose> <beheld> <came>

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. <ahimelech> <answered> <brother> <camp>

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. <behold> <bolster> <came> <david> <ground> <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. <david> <day> <delivered>

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? <against> <anointed> <can> <david> <destroy> <forth>

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. <battle> <come> <david> <day>

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. <against> <anointed> <bolster> <cruse> <forbid> <forth>

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. <all>

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? <answered>

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. <art> <came> <david>

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. <david> <king> <knew> <lord> <said> <saul> <son> <this>

<voice>

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? <after> <done> <doth> <evil> <hand> <have> <lord> <mine>

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. <against> <before>

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. <before> <blood> <come> <doth> <earth> <face> <fall>

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. <because> <behold> <david> <day> <do> <erred>

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. <answered>

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. <against> <anointed> <day> <delivered> <every>

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. <all> <behold>

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. <also> <blessed> <both> <david> <do> <great> <on> <place>

1SA-27:1 And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day

by the hand of Saul:[there is] nothing better for me than that I

should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and

Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of

Israel:so shall I escape out of his hand. <any> <better> <coast>

1SA-27:2 And David arose, and he passed over with the six

hundred men that [were] with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch,

king of Gath. <arose> <david> <gath> <him> <hundred> <king>

1SA-27:3 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men,

every man with his household, [even] David with his two wives,

Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's

wife. <ahinoam> <carmelitess> <david> <dwelt> <even> <every>

1SA-27:4 And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath:and he

sought no more again for him. <again> <david> <fled> <gath>

1SA-27:5 And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace

in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the

country, that I may dwell there:for why should thy servant dwell

in the royal city with thee? <city> <country> <david> <dwell>

1SA-27:6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day:wherefore Ziklag

pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day. <day> <gave>

1SA-27:7 And the time that David dwelt in the country of the

Philistines was a full year and four months. <country> <david>

1SA-27:8 And David and his men went up, and invaded the

Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites:for those

[nations were] of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest

to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt. <amalekites> <david>

1SA-27:9 And David smote the land, and left neither man nor

woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the

asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came

to Achish. <alive> <apparel> <asses> <away> <came> <camels>

1SA-27:10 And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day?

And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the

south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.

1SA-27:11 And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring

[tidings] to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying,

So did David, and so [will be] his manner all the while he

dwelleth in the country of the Philistines. <alive> <all>

1SA-27:12 And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his

people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my

servant for ever. <believed> <david> <ever> <hath> <him>

1SA-28:1 And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines

gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel.

And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou

shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men. <armies>

1SA-28:2 And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what

thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I

make thee keeper of mine head for ever. <can> <david> <do>

1SA-28:3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him,

and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put

away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of

the land. <all> <away> <buried> <city> <dead> <even> <familiar>

1SA-28:4 And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and

came and pitched in Shunem:and Saul gathered all Israel together,

and they pitched in Gilboa. <all> <came> <gathered> <gilboa>

1SA-28:5 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was

afraid, and his heart greatly trembled. <afraid> <greatly>

1SA-28:6 And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD answered

him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.

1SA-28:7 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that

hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her.

And his servants said to him, Behold, [there is] a woman that

hath a familiar spirit at Endor. <behold> <endor> <familiar>

1SA-28:8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment,

and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by

night:and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar

spirit, and bring me [him] up, whom I shall name unto thee.

1SA-28:9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what

Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar

spirits, and the wizards, out of the land:wherefore then layest

thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die? <behold> <cause>

1SA-28:10 And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, [As] the

LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this

thing. <happen> <liveth> <lord> <no> <punishment> <saul>

1SA-28:11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee?

And he said, Bring me up Samuel. <bring> <said> <samuel> <then>

1SA-28:12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud

voice:and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou

deceived me? for thou [art] Saul. <art> <cried> <deceived>

1SA-28:13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid:for what

sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending

out of the earth. <afraid> <ascending> <earth> <gods> <king>

1SA-28:14 And he said unto her, What form [is] he of? And she

said, An old man cometh up; and he [is] covered with a mantle.

And Saul perceived that it [was] Samuel, and he stooped with

[his] face to the ground, and bowed himself. <bowed> <cometh>

1SA-28:15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me,

to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the

Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me,

and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams:

therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto

me what I shall do. <against> <answered> <answereth> <bring>

1SA-28:16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me,

seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine

enemy? <ask> <become> <departed> <dost> <enemy> <lord> <said>

1SA-28:17 And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me:for

the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it

to thy neighbour, [even] to David:<david> <done> <even> <given>

<thine>

1SA-28:18 Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor

executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD

done this thing unto thee this day. <amalek> <because> <day>

1SA-28:19 Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee

into the hand of the Philistines:and to morrow [shalt] thou and

thy sons [be] with me:the LORD also shall deliver the host of

Israel into the hand of the Philistines. <also> <deliver> <hand>

1SA-28:20 Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and

was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel:and there was no

strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all

the night. <afraid> <all> <along> <because> <bread> <day>

<words>

1SA-28:21 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore

troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed

thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened

unto thy words which thou spakest unto me. <behold> <came>

1SA-28:22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the

voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before

thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest

on thy way. <also> <before> <bread> <eat> <goest> <handmaid>

1SA-28:23 But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his

servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he

hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat

upon the bed. <arose> <bed> <compelled> <earth> <eat>

1SA-28:24 And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she

hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded [it] , and

did bake unleavened bread thereof:<bake> <bread> <calf> <did>

1SA-28:25 And she brought [it] before Saul, and before his

servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away

that night. <away> <before> <brought> <did> <eat> <night> <rose>

1SA-29:1 Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies

to Aphek:and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which [is] in

Jezreel. <all> <aphek> <armies> <fountain> <gathered>

<which>

1SA-29:2 And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds,

and by thousands:but David and his men passed on in the rereward

with Achish. <david> <hundreds> <lords> <men> <on> <passed>

1SA-29:3 Then said the princes of the Philistines, What [do]

these Hebrews [here] ? And Achish said unto the princes of the

Philistines, [Is] not this David, the servant of Saul the king

of Israel, which hath been with me these days, or these years,

and I have found no fault in him since he fell [unto me] unto

this day? <been> <david> <day> <days> <do> <fault> <fell>

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>

2SA-3:22 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from

[pursuing] a troop, and brought in a great spoil with them:but

Abner [was] not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away,

and he was gone in peace. <away> <behold> <brought> <came>

2SA-3:23 When Joab and all the host that [was] with him were

come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the

king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace. <all>

2SA-3:24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou

done? behold, Abner came unto thee; why [is] it [that] thou hast

sent him away, and he is quite gone? <away> <behold> <came>

2SA-3:25 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to

deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and

to know all that thou doest. <all> <came> <coming> <deceive>

2SA-3:26 And when Joab was come out from David, he sent

messengers after Abner, which brought him again from the well of

Sirah:but David knew [it] not. <after> <again> <brought> <come>

2SA-3:27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him

aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there

under the fifth [rib] , that he died, for the blood of Asahel

his brother. <asahel> <aside> <blood> <brother> <died> <fifth>

2SA-3:28 And afterward when David heard [it] , he said, I and my

kingdom [are] guiltless before the LORD for ever from the blood

of Abner the son of Ner:<afterward> <are> <before> <blood>

2SA-3:29 Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his

father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab

one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a

staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread.

2SA-3:30 So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he

had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle. <asahel>

2SA-3:31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that

[were] with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth,

and mourn before Abner. And king David [himself] followed the

bier. <all> <before> <bier> <clothes> <david> <followed> <gird>

2SA-3:32 And they buried Abner in Hebron:and the king lifted up

his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people

wept. <all> <buried> <grave> <hebron> <king> <lifted> <people>

2SA-3:33 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner

as a fool dieth? <died> <dieth> <fool> <king> <lamented> <over>

<said>

2SA-3:34 Thy hands [were] not bound. nor thy feet put into

fetters:as a man falleth before wicked men, [so] fellest thou.

And all the people wept again over him. <again> <all> <before>

2SA-3:35 And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat

while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and

more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down.

2SA-3:36 And all the people took notice [of it] , and it pleased

them:as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people. <all>

2SA-3:37 For all the people and all Israel understood that day

that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner. <all>

2SA-3:38 And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that

there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?

2SA-3:39 And I [am] this day weak, though anointed king; and

these men the sons of Zeruiah [be] too hard for me:the LORD

shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness.

2SA-4:1 And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron,

his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.

2SA-4:2 And Saul's son had two men [that were] captains of bands:

the name of the one [was] Baanah, and the name of the other

Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of

Benjamin:( for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin. <also>

2SA-4:3 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners

there until this day. ) <beerothites> <day> <fled> <gittaim>

2SA-4:4 And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son [that was] lame of

[his] feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul

and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled:

and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell,

and became lame. And his name [was] Mephibosheth. <became>

2SA-4:5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah,

went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of

Ishbosheth, who lay on a bed at noon. <baanah> <bed>

2SA-4:6 And they came thither into the midst of the house, [as

though] they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under

the fifth [rib] :and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.

2SA-4:7 For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in

his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded

him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all

night. <all> <away> <bed> <bedchamber> <beheaded> <came> <gat>

2SA-4:8 And they brought the head of Ishbosheth unto David to

Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the

son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD

hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.

2SA-4:9 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the

sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, [As] the LORD

liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

2SA-4:10 When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead,

thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and

slew him in Ziklag, who [thought] that I would have given him a

reward for his tidings:<behold> <brought> <dead> <given> <good>

2SA-4:11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous

person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now

require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the

earth? <away> <bed> <blood> <earth> <hand> <have> <house> <how>

2SA-4:12 And David commanded his young men, and they slew them,

and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged [them] up

over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth,

and buried [it] in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron. <buried>

2SA-5:1 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron,

and spake, saying, Behold, we [are] thy bone and thy flesh.

2SA-5:2 Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast

he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel:and the LORD said

to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a

captain over Israel. <also> <broughtest> <captain> <feed>

2SA-5:3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron;

and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD:

and they anointed David king over Israel. <all> <anointed>

2SA-5:4 David [was] thirty years old when he began to reign,

[and] he reigned forty years. <began> <david> <forty> <old>

2SA-5:5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six

months:and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over

all Israel and Judah. <all> <hebron> <israel> <jerusalem>

<years>

2SA-5:6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the

Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land:which spake unto David,

saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt

not come in hither:thinking, David cannot come in hither. <away>

2SA-5:7 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion:the same

[is] the city of David. <city> <david> <hold> <nevertheless>

2SA-5:8 And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the

gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind,

[that are] hated of David's soul, [he shall be chief and

captain] . Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not

come into the house. <are> <blind> <captain> <chief> <come>

2SA-5:9 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of

David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.

2SA-5:10 And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of

hosts [was] with him. <david> <god> <great> <grew> <him> <hosts>

2SA-5:11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and

cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons:and they built David an

house. <built> <carpenters> <cedar> <david> <hiram> <house>

2SA-5:12 And David perceived that the LORD had established him

king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his

people Israel's sake. <david> <established> <exalted> <had>

2SA-5:13 And David took [him] more concubines and wives out of

Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron:and there were yet sons

and daughters born to David. <after> <born> <come> <concubines>

2SA-5:14 And these [be] the names of those that were born unto

him in Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

2SA-5:15 Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia, <also>

2SA-5:16 And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet. <eliada>

2SA-5:17 But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed

David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek

David; and David heard [of it] , and went down to the hold.

2SA-5:18 The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the

valley of Rephaim. <also> <came> <philistines> <rephaim>

2SA-5:19 And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up

to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And

the LORD said unto David, Go up:for I will doubtless deliver the

Philistines into thine hand. <david> <deliver> <doubtless> <go>

2SA-5:20 And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them

there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies

before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name

of that place Baalperazim. <baalperazim> <before> <breach>

2SA-5:21 And there they left their images, and David and his men

burned them. <burned> <david> <images> <left> <men> <there>

2SA-5:22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread

themselves in the valley of Rephaim. <again> <came>

2SA-5:23 And when David inquired of the LORD, he said, Thou

shalt not go up; [but] fetch a compass behind them, and come

upon them over against the mulberry trees. <against> <behind>

2SA-5:24 And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going

in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir

thyself:for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the

host of the Philistines. <before> <bestir> <go> <going>

2SA-5:25 And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and

smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer. <come>

2SA-6:1 Again, David gathered together all [the] chosen [men] of

Israel, thirty thousand. <again> <all> <chosen> <david>

2SA-6:2 And David arose, and went with all the people that

[were] with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the

ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of

hosts that dwelleth [between] the cherubims. <all> <ark> <arose>

2SA-6:3 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought

it out of the house of Abinadab that [was] in Gibeah:and Uzzah

and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart. <ahio> <ark>

2SA-6:4 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which

[was] at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God:and Ahio went

before the ark. <ahio> <ark> <before> <brought> <gibeah> <god>

2SA-6:5 And David and all the house of Israel played before the

LORD on all manner of [instruments made of] fir wood, even on

harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and

on cymbals. <all> <before> <cornets> <cymbals> <david> <even>

2SA-6:6 And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put

forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the

oxen shook [it] . <ark> <came> <forth> <god> <hand> <hold>

2SA-6:7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and

God smote him there for [his] error; and there he died by the

ark of God. <against> <anger> <ark> <died> <error> <god> <him>

2SA-6:8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a

breach upon Uzzah:and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah

to this day. <because> <breach> <called> <david> <day>

2SA-6:9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How

shall the ark of the LORD come to me? <afraid> <ark> <come>

2SA-6:10 So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him

into the city of David:but David carried it aside into the house

of Obededom the Gittite. <ark> <aside> <carried> <city> <david>

<would>

2SA-6:11 And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of

Obededom the Gittite three months:and the LORD blessed Obededom,

and all his household. <all> <ark> <blessed> <continued>

2SA-6:12 And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath

blessed the house of Obededom, and all that [pertaineth] unto

him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the

ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David

with gladness. <all> <ark> <because> <blessed> <brought> <city>

2SA-6:13 And it was [so] , that when they that bare the ark of

the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

2SA-6:14 And David danced before the LORD with all [his] might;

and David [was] girded with a linen ephod. <all> <before>

2SA-6:15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark

of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

2SA-6:16 And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David,

Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king

David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him

in her heart. <ark> <before> <came> <city> <dancing> <daughter>

2SA-6:17 And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in

his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched

for it:and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings

before the LORD. <ark> <before> <brought> <burnt> <david> <had>

2SA-6:18 And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt

offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name

of the LORD of hosts. <blessed> <burnt> <david> <end> <had>

2SA-6:19 And he dealt among all the people, [even] among the

whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every

one a cake of bread, and a good piece [of flesh] , and a flagon

[of wine] . So all the people departed every one to his house.

2SA-6:20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal

the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How

glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to

day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the

vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! <bless> <came>

2SA-6:21 And David said unto Michal, [It was] before the LORD,

which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to

appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel:

therefore will I play before the LORD. <all> <appoint> <before>

2SA-6:22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base

in mine own sight:and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken

of, of them shall I be had in honour. <base> <had> <hast>

2SA-6:23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto

the day of her death. <child> <daughter> <day> <death> <had>

2SA-7:1 And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and

the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;

2SA-7:2 That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I

dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within

curtains. <ark> <cedar> <curtains> <dwell> <dwelleth> <god>

2SA-7:3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that [is] in

thine heart; for the LORD [is] with thee. <all> <do> <go>

2SA-7:4 And it came to pass that night, that the word of the

LORD came unto Nathan, saying, <came> <lord> <nathan> <night>

2SA-7:5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt

thou build me an house for me to dwell in? <build> <david>

2SA-7:6 Whereas I have not dwelt in [any] house since the time

that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to

this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle. <any>

2SA-7:7 In all [the places] wherein I have walked with all the

children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of

Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why

build ye not me an house of cedar? <all> <any> <build> <cedar>

2SA-7:8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David,

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote,

from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over

Israel:<david> <following> <hosts> <israel> <lord> <now> <over>

2SA-7:9 And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have

cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a

great name, like unto the name of the great [men] that [are] in

the earth. <all> <are> <cut> <earth> <enemies> <great> <have>

2SA-7:10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel,

and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own,

and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness

afflict them any more, as beforetime, <afflict> <any> <appoint>

2SA-7:11 And as since the time that I commanded judges [to be]

over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all

thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee

an house. <all> <also> <caused> <commanded> <enemies> <have>

2SA-7:12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep

with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall

proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

<with>

2SA-7:13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will

stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. <build> <ever>

2SA-7:14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he

commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and

with the stripes of the children of men:<chasten> <children>

2SA-7:15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took

[it] from Saul, whom I put away before thee. <away> <before>

2SA-7:16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established

for ever before thee:thy throne shall be established for ever.

2SA-7:17 According to all these words, and according to all this

vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. <all> <david> <did>

2SA-7:18 Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and

he said, Who [am] I, O Lord GOD? and what [is] my house, that

thou hast brought me hitherto? <before> <brought> <david> <god>

2SA-7:19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD;

but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great

while to come. And [is] this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?

2SA-7:20 And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord

GOD, knowest thy servant. <can> <david> <god> <knowest> <lord>

2SA-7:21 For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart,

hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know

[them] . <all> <done> <great> <hast> <heart> <know> <make> <own>

2SA-7:22 Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God:for [there is]

none like thee, neither [is there any] God beside thee,

according to all that we have heard with our ears. <all> <any>

2SA-7:23 And what one nation in the earth [is] like thy people,

[even] like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to

himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things

and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou

redeemedst to thee from Egypt, [from] the nations and their

gods? <before> <do> <earth> <egypt> <even> <god> <gods> <great>

2SA-7:24 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel

[to be] a people unto thee for ever:and thou, LORD, art become

their God. <art> <become> <confirmed> <ever> <god> <hast>

2SA-7:25 And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken

concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish [it]

for ever, and do as thou hast said. <concerning> <do>

2SA-7:26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The

LORD of hosts [is] the God over Israel:and let the house of thy

servant David be established before thee. <before> <david>

2SA-7:27 For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed

to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house:therefore

hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto

thee. <build> <found> <god> <hast> <hath> <heart> <hosts>

2SA-7:28 And now, O Lord GOD, thou [art] that God, and thy words

be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

2SA-7:29 Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of

thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee:for thou,

O Lord GOD, hast spoken [it] :and with thy blessing let the

house of thy servant be blessed for ever. <before> <bless>

<with>

2SA-8:1 And after this it came to pass, that David smote the

Philistines, and subdued them:and David took Methegammah out of

the hand of the Philistines. <after> <came> <david> <hand>

<took>

2SA-8:2 And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line,

casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he

to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And [so]

the Moabites became David's servants, [and] brought gifts.

2SA-8:3 David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of

Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.

2SA-8:4 And David took from him a thousand [chariots] , and

seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen:and David

hocked all the chariot [horses] , but reserved of them [for] an

hundred chariots. <all> <chariot> <chariots> <david> <footmen>

2SA-8:5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour

Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and

twenty thousand men. <came> <damascus> <david> <hadadezer>

2SA-8:6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus:and the

Syrians became servants to David, [and] brought gifts. And the

LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. <became> <brought>

2SA-8:7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the

servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. <brought>

<took>

2SA-8:8 And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer,

king David took exceeding much brass. <berothai> <betah> <brass>

2SA-8:9 When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all

the host of Hadadezer, <all> <david> <had> <hadadezer> <hamath>

2SA-8:10 Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute

him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer,

and smitten him:for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And [Joram]

brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and

vessels of brass:<against> <because> <bless> <brass> <brought>

2SA-8:11 Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with

the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which

he subdued; <all> <also> <david> <dedicate> <dedicated> <did>

<with>

2SA-8:12 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon,

and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of

Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah. <amalek> <ammon>

2SA-8:13 And David gat [him] a name when he returned from

smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, [being] eighteen

thousand [men] . <being> <david> <eighteen> <gat> <him> <men>

<when>

2SA-8:14 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put

he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And

the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. <all> <became>

2SA-8:15 And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed

judgment and justice unto all his people. <all> <david>

2SA-8:16 And Joab the son of Zeruiah [was] over the host; and

Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud [was] recorder; <ahilud> <host>

2SA-8:17 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of

Abiathar, [were] the priests; and Seraiah [was] the scribe;

2SA-8:18 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was over] both the

Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief

rulers. <benaiah> <both> <cherethites> <chief> <jehoiada> <over>

2SA-9:1 And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the

house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?

2SA-9:2 And [there was] of the house of Saul a servant whose

name [was] Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the

king said unto him, [Art] thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant

[is he] . <art> <called> <david> <had> <him> <house> <king>

2SA-9:3 And the king said, [Is] there not yet any of the house

of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba

said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, [which is] lame on

[his] feet. <any> <feet> <god> <hath> <him> <house> <jonathan>

2SA-9:4 And the king said unto him, Where [is] he? And Ziba said

unto the king, Behold, he [is] in the house of Machir, the son

of Ammiel, in Lodebar. <ammiel> <behold> <him> <house> <king>

2SA-9:5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house

of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar. <ammiel> <david>

<then>

2SA-9:6 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of

Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did

reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold

thy servant! <answered> <behold> <come> <david> <did> <face>

2SA-9:7 And David said unto him, Fear not:for I will surely show

thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore

thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread

at my table continually. <all> <bread> <continually> <david>

2SA-9:8 And he bowed himself, and said, What [is] thy servant,

that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I [am] ?

2SA-9:9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said

unto him, I have given unto thy master's son all that pertained

to Saul and to all his house. <all> <called> <given> <have>

2SA-9:10 Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall

till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in [the fruits] ,

that thy master's son may have food to eat:but Mephibosheth thy

master's son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had

fifteen sons and twenty servants. <alway> <bread> <bring> <eat>

2SA-9:11 Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my

lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant

do. As for Mephibosheth, [said the king] , he shall eat at my

table, as one of the king's sons. <all> <commanded> <do> <eat>

2SA-9:12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name [was]

Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba [were] servants

unto Mephibosheth. <all> <dwelt> <had> <house> <mephibosheth>

2SA-9:13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem:for he did eat

continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.

2SA-10:1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the

children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.

2SA-10:2 Then said David, I will show kindness unto Hanun the

son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness unto me. And David

sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father.

And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.

2SA-10:3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto

Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy

father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David

[rather] sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to

spy it out, and to overthrow it? <ammon> <children> <city>

2SA-10:4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off

the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the

middle, [even] to their buttocks, and sent them away. <away>

2SA-10:5 When they told [it] unto David, he sent to meet them,

because the men were greatly ashamed:and the king said, Tarry at

Jericho until your beards be grown, and [then] return. <ashamed>

2SA-10:6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank

before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians

of Bethrehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen,

and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand

men. <ammon> <before> <bethrehob> <children> <david> <footmen>

2SA-10:7 And when David heard of [it] , he sent Joab, and all

the host of the mighty men. <all> <david> <heard> <host> <joab>

2SA-10:8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle

in array at the entering in of the gate:and the Syrians of Zoba,

and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, [were] by themselves in

the field. <ammon> <array> <battle> <came> <children> <entering>

2SA-10:9 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against

him before and behind, he chose of all the choice [men] of

Israel, and put [them] in array against the Syrians:<against>

2SA-10:10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand

of Abishai his brother, that he might put [them] in array

against the children of Ammon. <against> <ammon> <array>

2SA-10:11 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then

thou shalt help me:but if the children of Ammon be too strong

for thee, then I will come and help thee. <ammon> <children>

2SA-10:12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our

people, and for the cities of our God:and the LORD do that which

seemeth him good. <cities> <courage> <do> <god> <good> <him>

2SA-10:13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that [were] with

him, unto the battle against the Syrians:and they fled before

him. <against> <battle> <before> <drew> <fled> <him> <joab>

2SA-10:14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians

were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into

the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came

to Jerusalem. <also> <ammon> <before> <came> <children> <city>

2SA-10:15 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before

Israel, they gathered themselves together. <before> <gathered>

2SA-10:16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that

[were] beyond the river:and they came to Helam; and Shobach the

captain of the host of Hadarezer [went] before them. <before>

2SA-10:17 And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel

together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the

Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with

him. <against> <all> <array> <came> <david> <fought> <gathered>

2SA-10:18 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew

[the men of] seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty

thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host,

who died there. <before> <captain> <chariots> <david> <died>

<who>

2SA-10:19 And when all the kings [that were] servants to

Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made

peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to

help the children of Ammon any more. <all> <ammon> <any>

2SA-11:1 And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the

time when kings go forth [to battle] , that David sent Joab, and

his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the

children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still

at Jerusalem. <after> <all> <ammon> <battle> <besieged> <came>

2SA-11:2 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose

from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house:

and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman

[was] very beautiful to look upon. <arose> <beautiful> <bed>

2SA-11:3 And David sent and inquired after the woman. And [one]

said, [Is] not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife

of Uriah the Hittite? <after> <bathsheba> <daughter> <david>

2SA-11:4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came

in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her

uncleanness:and she returned unto her house. <came> <david>

2SA-11:5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and

said, I [am] with child. <child> <conceived> <david> <said>

2SA-11:6 And David sent to Joab, [saying] , Send me Uriah the

Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David. <david> <hittite> <joab>

2SA-11:7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded [of

him] how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war

prospered. <come> <david> <demanded> <did> <him> <how> <joab>

2SA-11:8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash

thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there

followed him a mess [of meat] from the king. <david> <departed>

2SA-11:9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with

all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.

2SA-11:10 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not

down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from

[thy] journey? why [then] didst thou not go down unto thine

house? <camest> <david> <didst> <down> <go> <had> <house>

2SA-11:11 And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and

Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my

lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine

house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? [as] thou

livest, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.

2SA-11:12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and

to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem

that day, and the morrow. <also> <david> <day> <depart> <here>

2SA-11:13 And when David had called him, he did eat and drink

before him; and he made him drunk:and at even he went out to lie

on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to

his house. <bed> <before> <called> <david> <did> <down> <drink>

2SA-11:14 And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a

letter to Joab, and sent [it] by the hand of Uriah. <came>

<wrote>

2SA-11:15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in

the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him,

that he may be smitten, and die. <battle> <die> <forefront>

2SA-11:16 And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that

he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men

[were] . <assigned> <came> <city> <joab> <knew> <men> <observed>

2SA-11:17 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab:

and there fell [some] of the people of the servants of David;

and Uriah the Hittite died also. <also> <city> <david> <died>

2SA-11:18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things

concerning the war; <all> <concerning> <david> <joab> <sent>

2SA-11:19 And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made

an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,

2SA-11:20 And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say

unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye

did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?

2SA-11:21 Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a

woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that

he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy

servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. <also> <cast> <dead>

2SA-11:22 So the messenger went, and came and showed David all

that Joab had sent him for. <all> <came> <david> <had> <him>

2SA-11:23 And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men

prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and

we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate. <against>

2SA-11:24 And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy

servants; and [some] of the king's servants be dead, and thy

servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. <also> <dead> <hittite>

<wall>

2SA-11:25 Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou

say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword

devoureth one as well as another:make thy battle more strong

against the city, and overthrow it:and encourage thou him.

2SA-11:26 And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her

husband was dead, she mourned for her husband. <dead> <heard>

2SA-11:27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched

her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son.

But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD. <bare>

2SA-12:1 And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto

him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one

rich, and the other poor. <came> <city> <david> <him> <lord>

<two>

2SA-12:2 The rich [man] had exceeding many flocks and herds:

2SA-12:3 But the poor [man] had nothing, save one little ewe

lamb, which he had bought and nourished up:and it grew up

together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own

meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was

unto him as a daughter. <bosom> <bought> <children> <cup>

2SA-12:4 And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he

spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress

for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor

man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.

2SA-12:5 And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man;

and he said to Nathan, [As] the LORD liveth, the man that hath

done this [thing] shall surely die:<against> <anger> <die>

2SA-12:6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did

this thing, and because he had no pity. <because> <did>

2SA-12:7 And Nathan said to David, Thou [art] the man. Thus

saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel,

and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; <anointed> <art>

2SA-12:8 And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's

wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of

Judah; and if [that had been] too little, I would moreover have

given unto thee such and such things. <been> <bosom> <gave>

2SA-12:9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the

LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the

Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife [to be] thy wife,

and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

2SA-12:10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine

house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of

Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. <because> <depart> <despised>

2SA-12:11 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil

against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives

before thine eyes, and give [them] unto thy neighbour, and he

shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. <against>

2SA-12:12 For thou didst [it] secretly:but I will do this thing

before all Israel, and before the sun. <all> <before> <didst>

2SA-12:13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the

LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away

thy sin; thou shalt not die. <against> <also> <away> <david>

2SA-12:14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great

occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also

[that is] born unto thee shall surely die. <also> <because>

2SA-12:15 And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD

struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was

very sick. <bare> <child> <david> <departed> <house> <lord>

2SA-12:16 David therefore besought God for the child; and David

fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth. <all>

2SA-12:17 And the elders of his house arose, [and went] to him,

to raise him up from the earth:but he would not, neither did he

eat bread with them. <arose> <bread> <did> <earth> <eat>

2SA-12:18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child

died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the

child was dead:for they said, Behold, while the child was yet

alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our

voice:how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the

child is dead? <alive> <behold> <came> <child> <david> <day>

2SA-12:19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David

perceived that the child was dead:therefore David said unto his

servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead. <child>

2SA-12:20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and

anointed [himself] , and changed his apparel, and came into the

house of the LORD, and worshipped:then he came to his own house;

and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.

2SA-12:21 Then said his servants unto him, What thing [is] this

that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child,

[while it was] alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst

rise and eat bread. <alive> <bread> <child> <dead> <didst>

2SA-12:22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted

and wept:for I said, Who can tell [whether] GOD will be gracious

to me, that the child may live? <alive> <can> <child> <fasted>

2SA-12:23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I

bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return

to me. <again> <back> <bring> <can> <dead> <fast> <go> <him>

2SA-12:24 And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in

unto her, and lay with her:and she bare a son, and he called his

name Solomon:and the LORD loved him. <bare> <bathsheba> <called>

2SA-12:25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he

called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD. <because>

<sent>

2SA-12:26 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of

Ammon, and took the royal city. <against> <ammon> <children>

2SA-12:27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have

fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.

2SA-12:28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together,

and encamp against the city, and take it:lest I take the city,

and it be called after my name. <after> <against> <called>

2SA-12:29 And David gathered all the people together, and went

to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. <against> <all>

<went>

2SA-12:30 And he took their king's crown from off his head, the

weight whereof [was] a talent of gold with the precious stones:

and it was [set] on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil

of the city in great abundance. <brought> <city> <crown> <forth>

2SA-12:31 And he brought forth the people that [were] therein,

and put [them] under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under

axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln:and thus

did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David

and all the people returned unto Jerusalem. <all> <ammon> <axes>

2SA-13:1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of

David had a fair sister, whose name [was] Tamar; and Amnon the

son of David loved her. <after> <amnon> <came> <david> <fair>

2SA-13:2 And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his

sister Tamar; for she [was] a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard

for him to do any thing to her. <amnon> <any> <do> <fell> <hard>

2SA-13:3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name [was] Jonadab, the

son of Shimeah David's brother:and Jonadab [was] a very subtle

man. <amnon> <brother> <friend> <had> <jonadab> <man> <name>

2SA-13:4 And he said unto him, Why [art] thou, [being] the

king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And

Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

2SA-13:5 And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed,

and make thyself sick:and when thy father cometh to see thee,

say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me

meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see [it] , and

eat [it] at her hand. <bed> <come> <cometh> <down> <dress> <eat>

2SA-13:6 So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick:and when the

king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee,

let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my

sight, that I may eat at her hand. <amnon> <cakes> <come>

2SA-13:7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy

brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat. <brother> <david>

2SA-13:8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was

laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded [it] , and made cakes

in his sight, and did bake the cakes. <bake> <brother> <cakes>

2SA-13:9 And she took a pan, and poured [them] out before him;

but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me.

And they went out every man from him. <all> <amnon> <before>

2SA-13:10 And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the

chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes

which she had made, and brought [them] into the chamber to Amnon

her brother. <amnon> <bring> <brother> <brought> <cakes>

2SA-13:11 And when she had brought [them] unto him to eat, he

took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.

2SA-13:12 And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me;

for no such thing ought to be done in Israel:do not thou this

folly. <answered> <brother> <do> <done> <folly> <force> <him>

2SA-13:13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as

for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now

therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not

withhold me from thee. <cause> <fools> <go> <israel> <king>

2SA-13:14 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice:but, being

stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her. <being>

2SA-13:15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred

wherewith he hated her [was] greater than the love wherewith he

had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone. <amnon>

2SA-13:16 And she said unto him, [There is] no cause:this evil

in sending me away [is] greater than the other that thou didst

unto me. But he would not hearken unto her. <away> <cause>

2SA-13:17 Then he called his servant that ministered unto him,

and said, Put now this [woman] out from me, and bolt the door

after her. <after> <bolt> <called> <door> <him> <ministered>

2SA-13:18 And [she had] a garment of divers colours upon her:for

with such robes were the king's daughters [that were] virgins

apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the

door after her. <after> <apparelled> <bolted> <brought>

2SA-13:19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment

of divers colours that [was] on her, and laid her hand on her

head, and went on crying. <ashes> <colours> <crying> <divers>

2SA-13:20 And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy

brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister:he

[is] thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained

desolate in her brother Absalom's house. <amnon> <been>

<with>

2SA-13:21 But when king David heard of all these things, he was

very wroth. <all> <david> <heard> <king> <these> <things> <very>

2SA-13:22 And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good

nor bad:for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his

sister Tamar. <amnon> <bad> <because> <brother> <forced> <good>

2SA-13:23 And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom

had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which [is] beside Ephraim:and

Absalom invited all the king's sons. <after> <all> <baalhazor>

2SA-13:24 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now,

thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee,

and his servants go with thy servant. <behold> <beseech> <came>

2SA-13:25 And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not

all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him:

howbeit he would not go, but blessed him. <all> <blessed>

2SA-13:26 Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother

Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go

with thee? <amnon> <brother> <go> <him> <king> <let> <pray>

2SA-13:27 But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the

king's sons go with him. <all> <amnon> <go> <him> <let>

2SA-13:28 Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark

ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say

unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not:have not I

commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant. <amnon>

2SA-13:29 And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom

had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat

him up upon his mule, and fled. <all> <amnon> <arose>

2SA-13:30 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that

tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's

sons, and there is not one of them left. <all> <came> <david>

2SA-13:31 Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on

the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.

2SA-13:32 And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother,

answered and said, Let not my lord suppose [that] they have

slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead:

for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from

the day that he forced his sister Tamar. <all> <amnon>

2SA-13:33 Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing

to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead:for

Amnon only is dead. <all> <amnon> <are> <dead> <heart> <king>

<think>

2SA-13:34 But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the

watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came

much people by the way of the hill side behind him. <behind>

<young>

2SA-13:35 And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's

sons come:as thy servant said, so it is. <behold> <come>

2SA-13:36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of

speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up

their voice and wept:and the king also and all his servants wept

very sore. <all> <also> <behold> <came> <end> <had> <king>

2SA-13:37 But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of

Ammihud, king of Geshur. And [David] mourned for his son every

day. <ammihud> <david> <day> <every> <fled> <geshur> <king>

2SA-13:38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there

three years. <fled> <geshur> <so> <there> <three> <went> <years>
