1 And the Ziphites H2130 came H935 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP Saul H7586 to Gibeah H1390 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Doth not H3808 D-NPAR David H1732 hide himself H5641 in the hill H1389 of Hachilah H2444 , which is before H5921 PREP Jeshimon H3452 ?
2 Then Saul H7586 arose H6965 W-VQY3MS , and went down H3381 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP the wilderness H4057 of Ziph H2128 , having three H7969 thousand H505 MMP chosen H977 men H376 NMS of Israel H3478 with H854 him , to seek H1245 David H1732 MMS in the wilderness H4057 of Ziph H2128 .
3 And Saul H7586 pitched H2583 in the hill H1389 of Hachilah H2444 , which H834 RPRO is before H5921 PREP Jeshimon H3452 , by H5921 PREP the way H1870 D-NMS . But David H1732 abode H3427 VQPMS in the wilderness H4057 , and he saw H7200 W-VIY3MS that H3588 CONJ Saul H7586 came H935 after H310 PREP-3MS him into the wilderness H4057 .
4 David H1732 MMS therefore sent out H7971 W-VQY3MS spies H7270 , and understood H3045 W-VQY3MS that H3588 CONJ Saul H7586 was come in very deed H3559 .
5 And David H1732 MMS arose H6965 W-VQY3MS , and came H935 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP the place H4725 D-NMS where H834 RPRO Saul H7586 had pitched H2583 : and David H1732 MMS beheld H7200 W-VIY3MS the place H4725 D-NMS where H834 RPRO Saul H7586 lay H7901 , and Abner H74 the son H1121 of Ner H5369 , the captain H8269 of his host H6635 : and Saul H7586 lay H7901 in the trench H4570 , and the people H5971 pitched H2583 round about H5439 him .
6 Then answered H6030 W-VQY3MS David H1732 MMS and said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Ahimelech H288 the Hittite H2850 , and to H413 PREP Abishai H52 the son H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 , brother H251 CMS to Joab H3097 , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , Who H4310 IPRO will go down H3381 with H854 PREP-1MS me to H413 PREP Saul H7586 to H413 PREP the camp H4264 ? And Abishai H52 said H559 W-VQY3MS , I H589 PPRO-1MS will go down H3381 with H5973 PREP-2FS thee .
7 So David H1732 and Abishai H52 came H935 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP the people H5971 by night H3915 GMS : and , behold H2009 IJEC , Saul H7586 lay H7901 sleeping H3463 within the trench H4570 , and his spear H2595 stuck H4600 in the ground H776 BD-GFS at his bolster H4763 : but Abner H74 and the people H5971 lay H7901 round about H5439 him .
8 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS Abishai H52 to H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , God H430 EDP hath delivered H5462 thine enemy H341 into thine hand H3027 B-CFS-2MS this day H3117 D-AMS : now H6258 W-ADV therefore let me smite H5221 him , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , with the spear H2595 even to the earth H776 at once H259 OFS , and I will not H3808 W-NPAR smite him the second time H8138 .
9 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Abishai H52 , Destroy H7843 him not H408 NPAR : for H3588 CONJ who H4310 IPRO can stretch forth H7971 VQQ3MS his hand H3027 CFS-3MS against the LORD H3068 EDS \'s anointed H4899 , and be guiltless H5352 ?
10 David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS furthermore H518 PART , As the LORD H3068 EDS liveth H2416 AMS , the LORD H3068 EDS shall smite H5062 him ; or H176 CONJ his day H3117 CMS-3MS shall come H935 VQY3MS to die H4191 ; or H176 CONJ he shall descend H3381 into battle H4421 , and perish H5595 .
11 The LORD H3068 NAME-4MS forbid H2486 IJEC-3FS that I should stretch forth mine hand H3027 CFS-1MS against the LORD H3068 EDS \'s anointed H4899 : but , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , take H3947 VQI2MS thou now H6258 W-ADV the spear H2595 that H834 RPRO is at his bolster H4763 , and the cruse H6835 of water H4325 D-CMS , and let us go H1980 .
12 So David H1732 MMS took H3947 W-VQY3MS the spear H2595 and the cruse H6835 of water H4325 D-CMS from Saul H7586 \'s bolster H4763 ; and they got them away H1980 W-VQY3MP , and no H369 W-NPAR man saw H7200 VQPMS it , nor H369 W-NPAR knew H3045 VQPMS it , neither H369 W-NPAR awaked H6974 : for H3588 CONJ they were all H3605 asleep H3463 ; because H3588 CONJ a deep sleep H8639 from the LORD H3068 EDS was fallen H5307 upon H5921 PREP-3MP them .
13 Then David H1732 MMS went over H5674 W-VQY3MS to the other side H5676 , and stood H5975 W-VQY3MS on H5921 PREP the top H7218 NMS of a hill H2022 afar off H7350 ; a great H7227 AMS space H4725 D-NMS being between H996 them :
14 And David H1732 cried H7121 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP the people H5971 , and to H413 PREP Abner H74 the son H1121 of Ner H5369 , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , Answerest H6030 thou not H3808 D-NPAR , Abner H74 ? Then Abner H74 answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Who H4310 IPRO art thou H859 PPRO-2MS that criest H7121 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP the king H4428 ?
15 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Abner H74 , Art not H3808 ADV thou H859 PPRO-2MS a valiant man H376 NMS ? and who H4310 W-IPRO is like to thee H3644 in Israel H3478 ? wherefore H4100 WL-IGAT then hast thou not H3808 NADV kept H8104 thy lord H113 the king H4428 D-NMS ? for H3588 CONJ there came H935 one H259 of the people H5971 in to destroy H7843 the king H4428 D-NMS thy lord H113 .
16 This H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS is not H3808 NADV good H2896 AMS that H834 RPRO thou hast done H6213 VQQ2MS . As the LORD H3068 EDS liveth H2416 AMS , ye H859 PPRO-2MS are worthy H1121 CMP to die H4194 NMS , because H834 RPRO ye have not H3808 ADV kept H8104 your master H113 , the LORD H3068 EDS \'s anointed H4899 . And now H6258 W-ADV see H7200 VQI2MS where H335 the king H4428 D-NMS \'s spear H2595 NFS is , and the cruse H6835 of water H4325 D-CMS that H834 RPRO was at his bolster H4763 .
17 And Saul H7586 knew H5234 David H1732 MMS \'s voice H6963 CMS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Is this H2088 DPRO thy voice H6963 , my son H1121 NMS-1MS David H1732 ? And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , It is my voice H6963 NMS-1MS , my lord H113 , O king H4428 .
18 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Wherefore H4100 L-IPRO doth my lord H113 thus H2088 PMS pursue H7291 after H310 PREP his servant H5650 ? for H3588 CONJ what H4100 L-IPRO have I done H6213 VQQ1MS ? or what H4100 L-IPRO evil H7451 AFS is in mine hand H3027 B-CFS-1MS ?
19 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , let my lord H113 the king H4428 D-NMS hear H8085 the words H1697 CMP of his servant H5650 . If H518 PART the LORD H3068 EDS have stirred thee up H5496 against me , let him accept H7306 an offering H4503 NFS : but if H518 PART they be the children H1121 of men H120 D-NMS , cursed H779 be they H1992 PPRO-3MP before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS ; for H3588 CONJ they have driven me out H1644 this day H3117 D-AMS from abiding H5596 in the inheritance H5159 of the LORD H3068 EDS , saying H559 L-VQFC , Go H1980 VQI2MS , serve H5647 other H312 gods H430 EDP .
20 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore , let not H408 NPAR my blood H1818 fall H5307 VQY3MS to the earth H776 NFS-3FS before H5048 M-PREP the face H6440 CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS : for H3588 CONJ the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 is come out H3318 VQQ3MS to seek H1245 a flea H6550 , as when H834 K-RPRO one H259 MMS doth hunt H7291 a partridge H7124 in the mountains H2022 .
21 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS Saul H7586 , I have sinned H2398 VQQ1MS : return H7725 VQFC , my son H1121 David H1732 : for H3588 CONJ I will no H3808 ADV more H5750 ADV do thee harm H7489 , because H834 RPRO my soul H5315 CFS-1MS was precious H3365 in thine eyes H5869 this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS : behold H2009 IJEC , I have played the fool H5528 , and have erred H7686 exceedingly H7235 VHFA .
22 And David H1732 MMS answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Behold H2009 IJEC the king H4428 D-NMS \'s spear H2595 ! and let one H259 MMS of the young men H5288 come over H5674 W-VQY3MS and fetch H3947 it .
23 The LORD H3068 NAME-4MS render H7725 VHY3MS to every man H376 LD-NMS his righteousness H6666 and his faithfulness H530 : for H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS delivered H5414 thee into my hand H3027 today H3117 D-AMS , but I would H14 not H3808 W-NPAR stretch forth H7971 mine hand H3027 CFS-1MS against the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS \'s anointed H4899 .
24 And , behold H2009 IJEC , as H834 K-RPRO thy life H5315 was much set H1431 by this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS in mine eyes H5869 , so H3651 ADV let my life H5315 CFS-1MS be much set H1431 by in the eyes H5869 B-CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS , and let him deliver H5337 me out of all H3605 M-CMS tribulation H6869 NFS .
25 Then Saul H7586 said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , Blessed H1288 VWQ3MS be thou H859 PPRO-2MS , my son H1121 NMS-1MS David H1732 : thou shalt both H1571 CONJ do great H6213 things , and also H1571 W-CONJ shalt still prevail H3201 . So David H1732 MMS went H1980 W-VQY3MS on his way H1870 , and Saul H7586 returned H7725 VQQ3MS to his place H4725 .
