lesserot - 1Samuel:22-23

lesserot@1Samuel:22:1 @ And David departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brothers and all his fathers house heard it, they went down to him thither.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:2 @ And there gathered themselves unto him every one that was in distress, and every one that had a creditor, and every one that had an embittered spirit; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:3 @ 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, go forth with you, until I can know what God will do for me.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:4 @ And he conducted them to the presence of the king of Moab: and they remained with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:5 @ And the prophet Gad said unto David, Thou must not remain in the stronghold: depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Chereth.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:6 @ And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him,

lesserot@1Samuel:22:7 @ Then said Saul unto his servants that stood about him, Hear, I pray you, men of Benjamin! will the son of Jesse give, indeed, to every one of you fields and vineyards? will he appoint you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds?

lesserot@1Samuel:22:8 @ That ye have conspired, all of you, against me, and there is none that informeth me, while my son hath made a covenant with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is concerned for me, or informeth me that my son hath stirred up my servant to lie in wait against me, as it is this day?

lesserot@1Samuel:22:9 @ Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Achimelech the son of Achitub.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:10 @ And he asked counsel for him of the Lord, and he gave him provision, and gave him also the sword of Goliath the philistine.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:11 @ Then sent the king to call Achimelech, the son of Achitub, the priest, and all his fathers house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came, all of them, to the king.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:12 @ And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Achitub. And he said, here am I, my Lord.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:13 @ And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou didst give him bread, and a sword, and hast asked counsel for him of God, that he should rise to lie in wait against me, as it is this day!

lesserot@1Samuel:22:14 @ Then answered Achimelech the king, and said, And who is among all thy servants so trusted as David, and the kings soninlaw, and freely admitted to thy private council, and is honored in thy house?

lesserot@1Samuel:22:15 @ Did I this day then begin to ask counsel for him of God? far be it from me; let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, to all the house of my father; for thy servant knew not of all this, either a little or great thing.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:16 @ And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Achimelech, thou, and all thy fathers house.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:17 @ And the king said unto the runners that stood about him, Turn round and slay the priests of the Lord; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he was fleeing, and did not disclose it to me. But the servants of the king would not stretch forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the Lord.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:18 @ And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou round, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned round, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day eighty and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:19 @ And Nob, the city of the priests, he smote with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and lambs, with the edge of the sword.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:20 @ And there escaped one of the sons of Achimelech the son of Achitub, whose name was Ebyathar, and he fled after David.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:21 @ And Ebyathar told David that Saul had slain the priests of the Lord.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:22 @ And David said unto Ebyathar, I knew on that day, because Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have myself occasioned the death of all the persons of thy fathers house.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:23 @ Remain thou with me, fear nothing; for he that will seek my life will seek thy life; but thou shalt be well guarded with me.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:1 @ Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are plundering the threshingfloors.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:2 @ Thereupon David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go and smite among these Philistines? And the Lord said unto David, Go and smite among the Philistines, and deliver Keilah.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:3 @ And Davids men said unto him, Behold, here in Judah are we afraid: how much more then if we should go to Keilah against the battlearrays of the Philistines?

lesserot@1Samuel:23:4 @ Then David asked yet again counsel of the Lord. And the Lord answered him and said, Arise, Go down to Keilah; for I deliver the Philistines into thy hand.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:5 @ So David and his men went to Keilah; and he fought with the Philistines, and lead away their cattle, and smote among them a great slaughter. So David delivered the inhabitants of Keilah.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:6 @ And it came to pass, when Ebyathar the son of Achimelech, fled over to David, to Keilah, that the ephod came down with him.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:7 @ And it was told to Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:8 @ And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:9 @ And David understood that Saul secretly devised mischief against him; and he said to Ebyathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:10 @ Then said David, O Lord, God of Israel, thy servant hath heard for certain that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:11 @ Will the men of Keilah surrender me into his hand? will Saul come down as thy servant hath heard? O Lord, God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the Lord said, He will come down.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:12 @ Then said David, Will the men of Keilah surrender me and my men into the hand of Saul! And the Lord said, They will surrender.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:13 @ Then arose David and his men, about six hundred men, and departed out of Keilah, and wandered about whithersoever they could go. And when it was told to Saul that David was escaped from Keilah, he forbore to go forth.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:14 @ And David remained in the wilderness in strongholds, and abode on the mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him all the time, but God delivered him not into his hand.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:15 @ And David saw that Saul was gone forth to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the forest.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:16 @ And Jonathan, the son of Saul, arose and went to David into the forest, and strengthened his hand in God.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:17 @ And he said unto him, Fear not; for the hand of Saul my father will not find thee; and thou wilt be king over Israel, and I will be next unto thee; and also Saul my father knoweth this.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:18 @ And they made, both of them, a covenant before the Lord: and David remained in the forest; but Jonathan went to his house.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:19 @ Then came up the Ziphites unto Saul to Gibah, saying, Behold, David is hiding himself with us in the strongholds in the forest, on the hill of Chachilah, which is on the right of the desert.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:20 @ And now in accordance with all the longing of thy soul, O king, to come down, come down; and our part shall be to surrender him into the kings hand.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:21 @ And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the Lord; for ye have pity on me.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:22 @ Go, I pray you, make yet more preparations, and remark and see his place where his foot may be, who hath seen him there; for I am told that he dealeth with great subtilty.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:23 @ See therefore, and remark every one of all the lurkingplaces where he usually hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you; and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:24 @ And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the right of the desert.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:25 @ And Saul and his men went to make a search. And they told it to David: wherefore he came down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard this, he pursued after David into the wilderness of Maon.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:26 @ And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David made haste to get away from before Saul; and Saul and his men were compassing David and his men to seize them.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:27 @ But a messenger came unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:28 @ Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammachlekoth.

lesserot@1Samuel:23:29 @ And David went up from there, and dwelt in strongholds of Engedi.

lesserot@1Samuel:24:1 @ And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from pursuing the Philistines, that it was told to him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.
