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>
