[1]Then they toldH5046[H8686] DavidH1732, sayingH559[H8800], Behold, the PhilistinesH6430 fightH3898[H8737] against KeilahH7084, and they robH8154[H8802] the threshingfloorsH1637.
[2]Therefore DavidH1732 enquiredH7592[H8799] of the LORDH3068, sayingH559[H8800], Shall I goH3212[H8799] and smiteH5221[H8689] these PhilistinesH6430? And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto DavidH1732, GoH3212[H8798], and smiteH5221[H8689] the PhilistinesH6430, and saveH3467[H8689] KeilahH7084.
[3]And David'sH1732 menH582 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Behold, we be afraidH3373 here in JudahH3063: how much more then if we comeH3212[H8799] to KeilahH7084 against the armiesH4634 of the PhilistinesH6430?
[4]Then DavidH1732 enquiredH7592[H8800] of the LORDH3068 yet againH3254[H8686]. And the LORDH3068 answeredH6030[H8799] him and saidH559[H8799], AriseH6965[H8798], go downH3381[H8798] to KeilahH7084; for I will deliverH5414[H8802] the PhilistinesH6430 into thine handH3027.
[5]So DavidH1732 and his menH582 wentH3212[H8799] to KeilahH7084, and foughtH3898[H8735] with the PhilistinesH6430, and brought awayH5090[H8799] their cattleH4735, and smoteH5221[H8686] them with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347. So DavidH1732 savedH3467[H8686] the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of KeilahH7084.
[6]And it came to pass, when AbiatharH54 the sonH1121 of AhimelechH288 fledH1272[H8800] to DavidH1732 to KeilahH7084, that he came downH3381[H8804] with an ephodH646 in his handH3027.
[7]And it was toldH5046[H8714] SaulH7586 that DavidH1732 was comeH935[H8804] to KeilahH7084. And SaulH7586 saidH559[H8799], GodH430 hath deliveredH5234[H8765] him into mine handH3027; for he is shut inH5462[H8738], by enteringH935[H8800] into a townH5892 that hath gatesH1817 and barsH1280.
[8]And SaulH7586 calledH8085 all the peopleH5971 togetherH8085[H8762] to warH4421, to go downH3381[H8800] to KeilahH7084, to besiegeH6696[H8800] DavidH1732 and his menH582.
[9]And DavidH1732 knewH3045[H8799] that SaulH7586 secretly practisedH2790[H8688] mischiefH7451 against him; and he saidH559[H8799] to AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, Bring hitherH5066[H8685] the ephodH646.
[10]Then saidH559[H8799] DavidH1732, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, thy servantH5650 hath certainlyH8085[H8800] heardH8085[H8804] that SaulH7586 seekethH1245[H8764] to comeH935[H8800] to KeilahH7084, to destroyH7843[H8763] the city for my sakeH5892.
[11]Will the menH1167 of KeilahH7084 deliver me upH5462[H8686] into his handH3027? will SaulH7586 come downH3381[H8799], as thy servantH5650 hath heardH8085[H8804]? O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I beseech thee, tellH5046[H8685] thy servantH5650. And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799], He will come downH3381.[H8799]
[12]Then saidH559[H8799] DavidH1732, Will the menH1167 of KeilahH7084 deliverH5462[H8686] me and my menH582 into the handH3027 of SaulH7586? And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799], They will deliver thee upH5462.[H8686]
[13]Then DavidH1732 and his menH582, which were about sixH8337 hundredH3967[H376], aroseH6965[H8799] and departedH3318[H8799] out of KeilahH7084, and wentH1980[H8691] whithersoeverH834 they could goH1980[H8691]. And it was toldH5046[H8717] SaulH7586 that DavidH1732 was escapedH4422[H8738] from KeilahH7084; and he forbareH2308[H8799] to go forthH3318.[H8800]
[14]And DavidH1732 abodeH3427[H8799] in the wildernessH4057 in strong holdsH4679, and remainedH3427[H8799] in a mountainH2022 in the wildernessH4057 of ZiphH2128. And SaulH7586 soughtH1245[H8762] him every dayH3117, but GodH430 deliveredH5414[H8804] him not into his handH3027.
[15]And DavidH1732 sawH7200[H8799] that SaulH7586 was come outH3318[H8804] to seekH1245[H8763] his lifeH5315: and DavidH1732 was in the wildernessH4057 of ZiphH2128 in a woodH2793.
[16]And JonathanH3083 Saul'sH7586 sonH1121 aroseH6965[H8799], and wentH3212[H8799] to DavidH1732 into the woodH2793, and strengthenedH2388[H8762] his handH3027 in GodH430.
[17]And he saidH559[H8799] unto him, FearH3372[H8799] not: for the handH3027 of SaulH7586 my fatherH1 shall not findH4672[H8799] thee; and thou shalt be kingH4427[H8799] over IsraelH3478, and I shall be nextH4932 unto thee; and that also SaulH7586 my fatherH1 knowethH3045.[H8802]
[18]And they twoH8147 madeH3772[H8799] a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: and DavidH1732 abodeH3427[H8799] in the woodH2793, and JonathanH3083 wentH1980[H8804] to his houseH1004.
[19]Then came upH5927[H8799] the ZiphitesH2130 to SaulH7586 to GibeahH1390, sayingH559[H8800], Doth not DavidH1732 hideH5641[H8693] himself with us in strong holdsH4679 in the woodH2793, in the hillH1389 of HachilahH2444, which is on the southH3225 of JeshimonH3452?
[20]Now therefore, O kingH4428, come downH3381[H8798] according to all the desireH185 of thy soulH5315 to come downH3381[H8800]; and our part shall be to deliverH5462[H8687] him into the king'sH4428 handH3027.
[21]And SaulH7586 saidH559[H8799], BlessedH1288[H8803] be ye of the LORDH3068; for ye have compassionH2550 on meH8804.
[22]GoH3212[H8798], I pray you, prepareH3559[H8685] yet, and knowH3045[H8798] and seeH7200[H8798] his placeH4725 where his hauntH7272 is, and who hath seenH7200[H8804] him there: for it is toldH559[H8804] me that he dealeth veryH6191[H8800] subtillyH6191.[H8686]
[23]SeeH7200[H8798] therefore, and take knowledgeH3045[H8798] of all the lurking placesH4224 where he hidethH2244[H8691] himself, and come ye againH7725[H8804] to me with the certaintyH3559[H8737], and I will goH1980[H8804] with you: and it shall come to pass, if he beH3426 in the landH776, that I will searchH2664[H8765] him out throughout all the thousandsH505 of JudahH3063.
[24]And they aroseH6965[H8799], and wentH3212[H8799] to ZiphH2128 beforeH6440 SaulH7586: but DavidH1732 and his menH582 were in the wildernessH4057 of MaonH4584, in the plainH6160 on the southH3225 of JeshimonH3452.
[25]SaulH7586 also and his menH582 wentH3212[H8799] to seekH1245[H8763] him. And they toldH5046[H8686] DavidH1732: wherefore he came downH3381[H8799] into a rockH5553, and abodeH3427[H8799] in the wildernessH4057 of MaonH4584. And when SaulH7586 heardH8085[H8799] that, he pursuedH7291[H8799] afterH310 DavidH1732 in the wildernessH4057 of MaonH4584.
[26]And SaulH7586 wentH3212[H8799] on this sideH6654 of the mountainH2022, and DavidH1732 and his menH582 on that sideH6654 of the mountainH2022: and DavidH1732 made hasteH2648[H8737] to get awayH3212[H8800] for fearH6440 of SaulH7586; for SaulH7586 and his menH582 compassedH5849 DavidH1732 and his menH582 round aboutH5849[H8802] to takeH8610 themH8800.
[27]But there cameH935[H8804] a messengerH4397 unto SaulH7586, sayingH559[H8800], HasteH4116[H8761] thee, and comeH3212[H8798]; for the PhilistinesH6430 have invadedH6584[H8804] the landH776.
[28]Wherefore SaulH7586 returnedH7725[H8799] from pursuingH7291[H8800] afterH310 DavidH1732, and wentH3212[H8799] againstH7125[H8800] the PhilistinesH6430: therefore they calledH7121[H8804] that placeH4725 SelahammahlekothH5555.
[29]And DavidH1732 went upH5927[H8799] from thence, and dweltH3427[H8799] in strong holdsH4679 at EngediH5872.
