| [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]And David goeth thence, and is escaped unto the cave of Adullam, and his brethren hear, and all the house of his father, and go down unto him thither; |
| [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 gather themselves unto him do every man in distress, and every man who hath an exactor, and every man bitter in soul, and he is over them for head, and there are 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 goeth thence to Mizpeh of Moab, and saith unto the king of Moab, `Let, I pray thee, my father and my mother go out with you, till that I know what God doth 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 leadeth them before the king of Moab, and they dwell with him all the days of David's being in the fortress. |
| [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 Gad the prophet saith unto David, `Thou dost not abide in a fortress, go, and thou hast entered for thee the land of Judah;' and David goeth and entereth 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]And Saul heareth that David hath become known, and the men who [are] with him, and Saul is abiding in Gibeah, under the grove in Ramah, and his spear [is] in his hand, and all his servants standing by 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]And Saul saith to his servants who are standing by him, `Hear, I pray you, ye Benjamites; also to all of you doth the son of Jesse give fields and vineyards! all of you he doth appoint heads of thousands and heads 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]for ye have conspired all of you against me, and there is none uncovering mine ear about my son's covenanting with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you grieving for me, and uncovering mine ear, that my son hath raised 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]And answer doth Doeg the Edomite, who is set over the servants of Saul, and saith, `I have seen the son of Jesse coming in to Nob, unto Ahimelech 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 asketh for him at Jehovah, and provision hath given to him, and the sword of Goliath the Philistine hath given to him. |
| [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]And the king sendeth to call Ahimelech son of Ahitub, the priest, and all the house of his father, the priests, who [are] in Nob, and they come all of them unto 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 saith, `Hear, I pray thee, son of Ahitub;' and he saith, `Here [am] I, 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 saith unto him, `Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, by thy giving to him bread and a sword, and to ask for him at God, to 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]And Ahimelech answereth the king and saith, `And who among all thy servants [is] as David -- faithful, and son-in-law of the king, and hath turned aside unto thy council, and is honoured in thy 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]To-day have I begun to ask for him at God? far be it from me! let not the king lay anything against his servant, against any of the house of my father, for thy servant hath known 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 saith, `Thou dost surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all the house of thy father.' |
| [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 saith to runners, those standing by him, `Turn round, and put to death the priests of Jehovah, because their hand also [is] with David, and because they have known that he is fleeing, and have not uncovered mine ear;' and the servants of the king have not been willing to put forth their hand to come against the priests of Jehovah. |
| [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 saith to Doeg, `Turn round thou, and come against the priests;' and Doeg the Edomite turneth round, and cometh himself against the priests, and putteth to death in that day eighty and five men bearing 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, he hath smitten by the mouth of the sword, from man even unto woman, from infant even unto suckling, and ox, and ass, and sheep, by the mouth 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 there escapeth one son of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, and his name [is] Abiathar, and he fleeth after David, |
| [21]And AbiatharH54 shewedH5046[H8686] DavidH1732 that SaulH7586 had slainH2026[H8804] the LORD'SH3068 priestsH3548. |
[21]and Abiathar declareth to David that Saul hath slain the priests of Jehovah. |
| [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 saith to Abiathar, `I have known on that day when Doeg the Edomite [is] there, that he doth certainly declare [it] to Saul; I have brought [it] round to every person of the house of thy father; |
| [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]dwell with me; fear not; for he who seeketh my life seeketh thy life; for a charge [art] thou with me.' |
