| [1]DavidH1732 therefore departedH3212[H8799] thence, and escapedH4422[H8735] to the caveH4631 AdullamH5725: and when his brethrenH251 and all his father'sH1 houseH1004 heardH8085[H8799] it, they went downH3381 thither to himH8799. |
[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. |
| [2]And every oneH376 that was in distressH4689, and every oneH376 that was in debtH5378[H8801], and every oneH376 that was discontentedH4751[H5315], gatheredH6908[H8691] themselves unto him; and he became a captainH8269 over them: and there were with him about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376. |
[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. |
| [3]And DavidH1732 wentH3212[H8799] thence to MizpehH4708 of MoabH4124: and he saidH559[H8799] unto the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, Let my fatherH1 and my motherH517, I pray thee, come forthH3318[H8799], and be with you, till I knowH3045[H8799] what GodH430 will doH6213 for meH8799. |
[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. |
| [4]And he broughtH5148[H8686] them beforeH6440 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124: and they dweltH3427[H8799] with him all the whileH3117 that DavidH1732 was in the holdH4686. |
[4]And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold. |
| [5]And the prophetH5030 GadH1410 saidH559[H8799] unto DavidH1732, AbideH3427[H8799] not in the holdH4686; departH3212[H8798], and getH935[H8804] thee into the landH776 of JudahH3063. Then DavidH1732 departedH3212[H8799], and cameH935[H8799] into the forestH3293 of HarethH2802. |
[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. |
| [6]When SaulH7586 heardH8085[H8799] that DavidH1732 was discoveredH3045[H8738], and the menH582 that were with him, (now SaulH7586 abodeH3427[H8802] in GibeahH1390 under a treeH815 in RamahH7414, having his spearH2595 in his handH3027, and all his servantsH5650 were standingH5324 about himH8737;) |
[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;) |
| [7]Then SaulH7586 saidH559[H8799] unto his servantsH5650 that stoodH5324[H8737] about him, Hear nowH8085[H8798], ye BenjamitesH1145; will the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 giveH5414[H8799] every one of you fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754, and makeH7760[H8799] you all captainsH8269 of thousandsH505, and captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967; |
[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; |
| [8]That all of you have conspiredH7194[H8804] against me, and there is none that shewethH1540[H8802][H241] me that my sonH1121 hath made a leagueH3772[H8800] with the sonH1121 of JesseH3448, and there is none of you that is sorryH2470[H8802] for me, or shewethH1540[H8802][H241] unto me that my sonH1121 hath stirred upH6965[H8689] my servantH5650 against me, to lie in waitH693[H8802], as at this dayH3117? |
[8]That all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that sheweth 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 sheweth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day? |
| [9]Then answeredH6030[H8799] DoegH1673 the EdomiteH130, which was setH5324[H8737] over the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586, and saidH559[H8799], I sawH7200[H8804] the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 comingH935[H8802] to NobH5011, to AhimelechH288 the sonH1121 of AhitubH285. |
[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. |
| [10]And he enquiredH7592[H8799] of the LORDH3068 for him, and gaveH5414[H8804] him victualsH6720, and gaveH5414[H8804] him the swordH2719 of GoliathH1555 the PhilistineH6430. |
[10]And he enquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine. |
| [11]Then the kingH4428 sentH7971[H8799] to callH7121[H8800] AhimelechH288 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of AhitubH285, and all his father'sH1 houseH1004, the priestsH3548 that were in NobH5011: and they cameH935[H8799] all of them to the kingH4428. |
[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. |
| [12]And SaulH7586 saidH559[H8799], HearH8085[H8798] now, thou sonH1121 of AhitubH285. And he answeredH559[H8799], Here I am, my lordH113. |
[12]And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord. |
| [13]And SaulH7586 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Why have ye conspiredH7194[H8804] against me, thou and the sonH1121 of JesseH3448, in that thou hast givenH5414[H8800] him breadH3899, and a swordH2719, and hast enquiredH7592[H8800] of GodH430 for him, that he should riseH6965[H8800] against me, to lie in waitH693[H8802], as at this dayH3117? |
[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 enquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day? |
| [14]Then AhimelechH288 answeredH6030[H8799] the kingH4428, and saidH559[H8799], And who is so faithfulH539[H8737] among all thy servantsH5650 as DavidH1732, which is the king'sH4428 son in lawH2860, and goethH5493[H8804] at thy biddingH4928, and is honourableH3513[H8737] in thine houseH1004? |
[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? |
| [15]Did I thenH3117 beginH2490[H8689] to enquireH7592[H8800] of GodH430 for him? be it far from meH2486: let not the kingH4428 imputeH7760[H8799] any thingH1697 unto his servantH5650, nor to all the houseH1004 of my fatherH1: for thy servantH5650 knewH3045[H8804] nothingH1697 of all this, lessH6996 or moreH1419. |
[15]Did I then begin to enquire 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. |
| [16]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799], Thou shalt surelyH4191[H8800] dieH4191[H8799], AhimelechH288, thou, and all thy father'sH1 houseH1004. |
[16]And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house. |
| [17]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto the footmenH7323[H8801] that stoodH5324[H8737] about him, TurnH5437[H8798], and slayH4191[H8685] the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068; because their handH3027 also is with DavidH1732, and because they knewH3045[H8804] when he fledH1272[H8802], and did not shewH1540[H8804][H241] it to me. But the servantsH5650 of the kingH4428 wouldH14[H8804] not put forthH7971[H8800] their handH3027 to fallH6293[H8800] upon the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068. |
[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 shew it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD. |
| [18]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] to DoegH1673, TurnH5437[H8798] thou, and fallH6293[H8798] upon the priestsH3548. And DoegH1673 the EdomiteH130 turnedH5437[H8735], and he fellH6293[H8799] upon the priestsH3548, and slewH4191[H8686] on that dayH3117 fourscoreH8084 and fiveH2568 personsH376 that did wearH5375[H8802] a linenH906 ephodH646. |
[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. |
| [19]And NobH5011, the cityH5892 of the priestsH3548, smoteH5221[H8689] he with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, both menH376 and womenH802, childrenH5768 and sucklingsH3243[H8802], and oxenH7794, and assesH2543, and sheepH7716, with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. |
[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. |
| [20]And oneH259 of the sonsH1121 of AhimelechH288 the sonH1121 of AhitubH285, namedH8034 AbiatharH54, escapedH4422[H8735], and fledH1272[H8799] afterH310 DavidH1732. |
[20]And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David. |
| [21]And AbiatharH54 shewedH5046[H8686] DavidH1732 that SaulH7586 had slainH2026[H8804] the LORD'SH3068 priestsH3548. |
[21]And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain the LORD's priests. |
| [22]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto AbiatharH54, I knewH3045[H8804] it that dayH3117, when DoegH1673 the EdomiteH130 was there, that he would surelyH5046[H8687] tellH5046[H8686] SaulH7586: I have occasionedH5437[H8804] the death of all the personsH5315 of thy father'sH1 houseH1004. |
[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. |
| [23]AbideH3427[H8798] thou with me, fearH3372[H8799] not: for he that seekethH1245[H8762] my lifeH5315 seekethH1245[H8762] thy lifeH5315: but with me thou shalt be in safeguardH4931. |
[23]Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard. |
