Then they told 5046-55 David, 1732 saying, 559-2 Behold, the Philistines 6430 fight 3898-12 against Keilah, 7084 and they rob 8154-6 the threshingfloors. 1637 |
| 2 |
Therefore David 1732 enquired 7592-4 of the LORD, 3068 saying, 559-2 Shall I go 3212-4 and smite 5221-52 these Philistines? 6430 And the LORD 3068 said 559-4 unto David, 1732 Go, 3212-3 and smite 5221-52 the Philistines, 6430 and save 3467-52 Keilah. 7084 |
| 3 |
And David's 1732 men 582 said 559-4 unto him, Behold, we be afraid 3373 here in Judah: 3063 how much more then if we come 3212-4 to Keilah 7084 against the armies 4634 of the Philistines? 6430 |
| 4 |
Then David 1732 enquired 7592-2 of the LORD 3068 yet again. 3254-55 And the LORD 3068 answered 6030-4 him and said, 559-4 Arise, 6965-3 go down 3381-3 to Keilah; 7084 for I will deliver 5414-6 the Philistines 6430 into thine hand. 3027 |
| 5 |
So David 1732 and his men 582 went 3212-4 to Keilah, 7084 and fought 3898-11 with the Philistines, 6430 and brought away 5090-4 their cattle, 4735 and smote 5221-55 them with a great 1419 slaughter. 4347 So David 1732 saved 3467-55 the inhabitants 3427-6 of Keilah. 7084 |
| 6 |
And it came to pass, when Abiathar 54 the son 1121 of Ahimelech 288 fled 1272-2 to David 1732 to Keilah, 7084 [that] he came down 3381-1 [with] an ephod 646 in his hand. 3027 |
| 7 |
And it was told 5046-93 Saul 7586 that David 1732 was come 935-1 to Keilah. 7084 And Saul 7586 said, 559-4 God 430 hath delivered 5234-14 him into mine hand; 3027 for he is shut in, 5462-8 by entering 935-2 into a town 5892 that hath gates 1817 and bars. 1280 |
| 8 |
And Saul 7586 called all the people 5971 together 8085-17 to war, 4421 to go down 3381-2 to Keilah, 7084 to besiege 6696-2 David 1732 and his men. 582 |
| 9 |
And David 1732 knew 3045-4 that Saul 7586 secretly practised 2790-56 mischief 7451 against him; and he said 559-4 to Abiathar 54 the priest, 3548 Bring hither 5066-54 the ephod. 646 |
| 10 |
Then said 559-4 David, 1732 O LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel, 3478 thy servant 5650 hath certainly 8085-2 heard 8085-1 that Saul 7586 seeketh 1245-18 to come 935-2 to Keilah, 7084 to destroy 7843-15 the city 5892 for my sake. |
| 11 |
Will the men 1167 of Keilah 7084 deliver me up 5462-55 into his hand? 3027 will Saul 7586 come down, 3381-4 as thy servant 5650 hath heard? 8085-1 O LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel, 3478 I beseech thee, tell 5046-54 thy servant. 5650 And the LORD 3068 said, 559-4 He will come down. 3381-4 |
| 12 |
Then said 559-4 David, 1732 Will the men 1167 of Keilah 7084 deliver 5462-55 me and my men 582 into the hand 3027 of Saul? 7586 And the LORD 3068 said, 559-4 They will deliver [thee] up. 5462-55 |
| 13 |
Then David 1732 and his men, 582 [which were] about six 8337 hundred, 3967 376 arose 6965-4 and departed 3318-4 out of Keilah, 7084 and went 1980-101 whithersoever 834 they could go. 1980-101 And it was told 5046-90 Saul 7586 that David 1732 was escaped 4422-8 from Keilah; 7084 and he forbare 2308-4 to go forth. 3318-2 |
| 14 |
And David 1732 abode 3427-4 in the wilderness 4057 in strong holds, 4679 and remained 3427-4 in a mountain 2022 in the wilderness 4057 of Ziph. 2128 And Saul 7586 sought 1245-17 him every day, 3117 but God 430 delivered 5414-1 him not into his hand. 3027 |
| 15 |
And David 1732 saw 7200-4 that Saul 7586 was come out 3318-1 to seek 1245-15 his life: 5315 and David 1732 [was] in the wilderness 4057 of Ziph 2128 in a wood. 2793 |
| 16 |
And Jonathan 3083 Saul's 7586 son 1121 arose, 6965-4 and went 3212-4 to David 1732 into the wood, 2793 and strengthened 2388-17 his hand 3027 in God. 430 |
| 17 |
And he said 559-4 unto him, Fear 3372-4 not: for the hand 3027 of Saul 7586 my father 1 shall not find 4672-4 thee; and thou shalt be king 4427-4 over Israel, 3478 and I shall be next 4932 unto thee; and that also Saul 7586 my father 1 knoweth. 3045-6 |
| 18 |
And they two 8147 made 3772-4 a covenant 1285 before 6440 the LORD: 3068 and David 1732 abode 3427-4 in the wood, 2793 and Jonathan 3083 went 1980-1 to his house. 1004 |
| 19 |
Then came up 5927-4 the Ziphites 2130 to Saul 7586 to Gibeah, 1390 saying, 559-2 Doth not David 1732 hide 5641-102 himself with us in strong holds 4679 in the wood, 2793 in the hill 1389 of Hachilah, 2444 which [is] on the south 3225 of Jeshimon? 3452 |
| 20 |
Now therefore, O king, 4428 come down 3381-3 according to all the desire of 185 thy soul 5315 to come down; 3381-2 and our part [shall be] to deliver 5462-53 him into the king's 4428 hand. 3027 |
| 21 |
And Saul 7586 said, 559-4 Blessed 1288-7 [be] ye of the LORD; 3068 for ye have compassion 2550-1 on me. |
| 22 |
Go, 3212-3 I pray you, prepare 3559-54 yet, and know 3045-3 and see 7200-3 his place 4725 where his haunt 7272 is, [and] who hath seen 7200-1 him there: for it is told 559-1 me [that] he dealeth very 6191-2 subtilly. 6191-55 |
| 23 |
See 7200-3 therefore, and take knowledge 3045-3 of all the lurking places 4224 where he hideth 2244-101 himself, and come ye again 7725-1 to me with the certainty, 3559-12 and I will go 1980-1 with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be 3426 in the land, 776 that I will search him out 2664-14 throughout all the thousands 505 of Judah. 3063 |
| 24 |
And they arose, 6965-4 and went 3212-4 to Ziph 2128 before 6440 Saul: 7586 but David 1732 and his men 582 [were] in the wilderness 4057 of Maon, 4584 in the plain 6160 on the south 3225 of Jeshimon. 3452 |
| 25 |
Saul 7586 also and his men 582 went 3212-4 to seek 1245-15 [him]. And they told 5046-55 David: 1732 wherefore he came down 3381-4 into a rock, 5553 and abode 3427-4 in the wilderness 4057 of Maon. 4584 And when Saul 7586 heard 8085-4 [that], he pursued 7291-4 after 310 David 1732 in the wilderness 4057 of Maon. 4584 |
| 26 |
And Saul 7586 went 3212-4 on this side 6654 of the mountain, 2022 and David 1732 and his men 582 on that side 6654 of the mountain: 2022 and David 1732 made haste 2648-12 to get away 3212-2 for fear 6440 of Saul; 7586 for Saul 7586 and his men 582 compassed 5849-6 David 1732 and his men 582 round about to take 8610-2 them. |
| 27 |
But there came 935-1 a messenger 4397 unto Saul, 7586 saying, 559-2 Haste 4116-16 thee, and come; 3212-3 for the Philistines 6430 have invaded 6584-1 the land. 776 |
| 28 |
Wherefore Saul 7586 returned 7725-4 from pursuing 7291-2 after 310 David, 1732 and went 3212-4 against 7125-2 the Philistines: 6430 therefore they called 7121-1 that place 4725 Selahammahlekoth. 5555 |
| 29 |
And David 1732 went up 5927-4 from thence, and dwelt 3427-4 in strong holds 4679 at Engedi. 5872 |
