@ And the
Ziphites
came
unto
Saul
to
Gibeah
,
saying
, Doth not
David
hide
himself in the
hill
of
Hachilah
, which is
before
Jeshimon
?
strkjv@1Samuel:26:2
@ Then
Saul
arose
, and went
down
to the
wilderness
of
Ziph
, having
three
thousand
chosen
men
of
Israel
with him, to
seek
David
in the
wilderness
of
Ziph
.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:3
@ And
Saul
pitched
in the
hill
of
Hachilah
, which is
before
Jeshimon
, by the
way
. But
David
abode
in the
wilderness
, and he
saw
that
Saul
came
after
him into the
wilderness
.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:4
@
David
therefore sent
out
spies
, and
understood
that
Saul
was
come
in very
deed
.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:5
@ And
David
arose
, and
came
to the
place
where
Saul
had
pitched
: and
David
beheld
the
place
where
Saul
lay
, and
Abner
the
son
of
Ner
, the
captain
of his
host
: and
Saul
lay
in the
trench
, and the
people
pitched
round
about
him.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:6
@ Then
answered
David
and
said
to
Ahimelech
the
Hittite
, and to
Abishai
the
son
of
Zeruiah
,
brother
to
Joab
,
saying
, Who will go
down
with me to
Saul
to the
camp
? And
Abishai
said
, I will go
down
with thee.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:7
@ So
David
and
Abishai
came
to the
people
by
night
: and, behold,
Saul
lay
sleeping
within the
trench
, and his
spear
stuck
in the
ground
at his
bolster
m@: but
Abner
and the
people
lay
round
about
him.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:8
@ Then
said
Abishai
to
David
,
God
hath
delivered
thine
enemy
into thine
hand
this
day
: now therefore let me
smite
him, I pray thee, with the
spear
even to the
earth
at
once
H259, and I will not smite him the second
time
.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:9
@ And
David
said
to
Abishai
,
Destroy
him not: for who can stretch
forth
his
hand
against the
LORDS
anointed
, and be
guiltless
?
strkjv@1Samuel:26:10
@
David
said
furthermore, As the
LORD
liveth
, the
LORD
shall
smite
him; or his
day
shall
come
to
die
; or he shall
descend
into
battle
, and
perish
.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:11
@ The
LORD
forbid
that I should stretch
forth
mine
hand
against the
LORDS
anointed
: but, I pray thee,
take
thou now the
spear
that is at his
bolster
m@, and the
cruse
of
water
, and let us
go
.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:12
@ So
David
took
the
spear
and the
cruse
of
water
from
Sauls
bolster
; and they gat them
away
, and no man
saw
it, nor
knew
it, neither
awaked
: for they were all
asleep
; because a deep
sleep
from the
LORD
was
fallen
upon them.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:13
@ Then
David
went
over
to the other
side
, and
stood
on the
top
of an
hill
afar
off
; a
great
space
being between them:
strkjv@1Samuel:26:14
@ And
David
cried
to the
people
, and to
Abner
the
son
of
Ner
,
saying
,
Answerest
thou not,
Abner
? Then
Abner
answered
and
said
, Who art thou that
criest
to the
king
?
strkjv@1Samuel:26:15
@ And
David
said
to
Abner
, Art not thou a valiant
man
? and who is like to thee in
Israel
? wherefore then hast thou not
kept
thy
lord
the
king
? for there
came
one
of the
people
in to
destroy
the
king
thy
lord
.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:16
@ This
thing
is not
good
that thou hast
done
. As the
LORD
liveth
, ye are
worthy
to
die
, because ye have not
kept
your
master
, the
LORDS
anointed
. And now
see
where the
kings
spear
is, and the
cruse
of
water
that was at his
bolster
m@.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:17
@ And
Saul
knew
Davids
voice
, and
said
, Is this thy
voice
, my
son
David
? And
David
said
, It is my
voice
, my
lord
, O
king
.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:18
@ And he
said
, Wherefore doth my
lord
thus
pursue
after
his
servant
? for what have I
done
? or what
evil
is in mine
hand
?
strkjv@1Samuel:26:19
@ Now therefore, I pray thee, let my
lord
the
king
hear
the
words
of his
servant
. If the
LORD
have stirred thee
up
against me, let him
accept
an
offering
: but if they be the
children
of
men
,
cursed
be they
before
the
LORD
; for they have
driven
me out this
day
from
abiding
in the
inheritance
of the
LORD
,
saying
,
Go
,
serve
other
gods
.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:20
@ Now therefore, let not my
blood
fall
to the
earth
before the
face
of the
LORD
: for the
king
of
Israel
is come
out
to
seek
a
flea
, as when one doth
hunt
a
partridge
in the
mountains
.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:21
@ Then
said
Saul
, I have
sinned
:
return
, my
son
David
: for I will no more do thee
harm
, because my
soul
was
precious
in thine
eyes
this
day
: behold, I have played the
fool
, and have
erred
exceedingly
m@.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:22
@ And
David
answered
and
said
, Behold the
kings
spear
! and let
one
of the young
men
come
over
and
fetch
it.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:23
@ The
LORD
render
to every
man
his
righteousness
and his
faithfulness
: for the
LORD
delivered
thee into my
hand
to
day
, but I
would
not stretch
forth
mine
hand
against the
LORDS
anointed
.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:24
@ And, behold, as thy
life
was much set
by
this
day
in mine
eyes
, so let my
life
be much set
by
in the
eyes
of the
LORD
, and let him
deliver
me out of all
tribulation
.
strkjv@1Samuel:26:25
@ Then
Saul
said
to
David
,
Blessed
be thou, my
son
David
: thou shalt both
do
great
things, and also shalt
still
prevail
. So
David
went
on his
way
, and
Saul
returned
to his
place
.
