asv@1Samuel:18:9 @And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
asv@1Samuel:18:10 @And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as he did day by day. And Saul had his spear in his hand;
asv@1Samuel:18:11 @and Saul cast the spear; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall. And David avoided out of his presence twice.
asv@1Samuel:18:12 @And Saul was afraid of David, because Jehovah was with him, and was departed from Saul.
asv@1Samuel:18:14 @And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Jehovah was with him.

asv@1Samuel:18:17 @And Saul said to David, Behold, my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight Jehovah's battles. For Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.
asv@1Samuel:18:18 @And David said unto Saul, Who am I, and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?

asv@1Samuel:18:20 @And Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
asv@1Samuel:18:21 @And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law a second time.
asv@1Samuel:18:22 @And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son-in-law.
asv@1Samuel:18:23 @And Saul's servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
asv@1Samuel:18:24 @And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David.
asv@1Samuel:18:25 @And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
asv@1Samuel:18:26 @And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. And the days were not expired;
asv@1Samuel:18:27 @and David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.
asv@1Samuel:18:28 @And Saul saw and knew that Jehovah was with David; and Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him.
asv@1Samuel:18:29 @And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy continually.
asv@1Samuel:18:30 @Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
asv@1Samuel:19:1 @And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should slay David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David.
asv@1Samuel:19:2 @And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to slay thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:
asv@1Samuel:19:4 @And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:
asv@1Samuel:19:5 @for he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and Jehovah wrought a great victory for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice; wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
asv@1Samuel:19:7 @And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as beforetime.
asv@1Samuel:19:8 @And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
asv@1Samuel:19:9 @And an evil spirit from Jehovah was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
asv@1Samuel:19:10 @And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
asv@1Samuel:19:11 @And Saul sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to-night, to-morrow thou wilt be slain.
asv@1Samuel:19:12 @So Michal let David down through the window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
asv@1Samuel:19:14 @And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
asv@1Samuel:19:15 @And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
asv@1Samuel:19:18 @Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
asv@1Samuel:19:19 @And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.
asv@1Samuel:19:20 @And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
asv@1Samuel:19:22 @Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.
asv@1Samuel:20:1 @And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
asv@1Samuel:20:3 @And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father knoweth well that I have found favor in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.
asv@1Samuel:20:4 @Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.
asv@1Samuel:20:5 @And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to-morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
asv@1Samuel:20:6 @If thy father miss me at all, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
asv@1Samuel:20:10 @Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me if perchance thy father answer thee roughly?
asv@1Samuel:20:11 @And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
asv@1Samuel:20:12 @And Jonathan said unto David, Jehovah, the God of Israel, be witness: when I have sounded my father about this time to-morrow, or the third day, behold, if there be good toward David, shall I not then send unto thee, and disclose it unto thee?
asv@1Samuel:20:15 @but also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever; no, not when Jehovah hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
asv@1Samuel:20:16 @So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, And Jehovah will require it at the hand of David's enemies.
asv@1Samuel:20:17 @And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
asv@1Samuel:20:24 @So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat food.
asv@1Samuel:20:25 @And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul's side: but David's place was empty.
asv@1Samuel:20:27 @And it came to pass on the morrow after the new moon, which was the second day, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to-day?
asv@1Samuel:20:28 @And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem:
asv@1Samuel:20:33 @And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him; whereby Jonathan knew that is was determined of his father to put David to death.
asv@1Samuel:20:34 @So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
asv@1Samuel:20:35 @And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
asv@1Samuel:20:39 @But the lad knew not anything: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
asv@1Samuel:20:41 @And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the South, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
asv@1Samuel:20:42 @And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of Jehovah, saying, Jehovah shall be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed, for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
asv@1Samuel:21:1 @Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
asv@1Samuel:21:2 @And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know anything of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed the young men to such and such a place.
asv@1Samuel:21:4 @And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.
asv@1Samuel:21:5 @And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days; when I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was but a common journey; how much more then to-day shall their vessels be holy?
asv@1Samuel:21:8 @And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thy hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.
asv@1Samuel:21:9 @And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the vale of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it; for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.
asv@1Samuel:21:10 @And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
asv@1Samuel:21:11 @And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands?
asv@1Samuel:21:12 @And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
asv@1Samuel:22:1 @David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave of Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.
asv@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, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.
asv@1Samuel:22:4 @And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
asv@1Samuel:22:5 @And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the stronghold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
asv@1Samuel:22:6 @And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him: now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk-tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
asv@1Samuel:22:14 @Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who among all thy servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and is taken into thy council, and is honorable in thy house?
asv@1Samuel:22:17 @And the king said unto the guard that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of Jehovah; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of Jehovah.
asv@1Samuel:22:20 @And one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
asv@1Samuel:22:21 @And Abiathar told David that Saul had slain Jehovah's priests.
asv@1Samuel:22:22 @And David said unto Abiathar, I knew on 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.
asv@1Samuel:23:1 @And they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing-floors.
asv@1Samuel:23:2 @Therefore David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And Jehovah said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.
asv@1Samuel:23:3 @And David's men said unto him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?
asv@1Samuel:23:4 @Then David inquired of Jehovah yet again. And Jehovah answered him, and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hand.
asv@1Samuel:23:5 @And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and slew them with a great slaughter. So David save the inhabitants of Keilah.
asv@1Samuel:23:6 @And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.
asv@1Samuel:23:7 @And it was told 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.
asv@1Samuel:23:8 @And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
asv@1Samuel:23:9 @And David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.
asv@1Samuel:23:10 @Then said David, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, thy servant hath surely heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
asv@1Samuel:23:12 @Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver up to me and my men into the hand of Saul? And Jehovah said, They will deliver thee up.
asv@1Samuel:23:13 @Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth.
asv@1Samuel:23:14 @And David abode in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill-country in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.
asv@1Samuel:23:15 @And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the wood.
asv@1Samuel:23:16 @And Jonathan, Saul's son, arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.
asv@1Samuel:23:18 @And they two made a covenant before Jehovah: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.
asv@1Samuel:23:19 @Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?
asv@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 Arabah on the south of the desert.
asv@1Samuel:23:25 @And Saul and his men went to seek him. And they told David: wherefore he came down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
asv@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 for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them.
asv@1Samuel:23:28 @So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth.
asv@1Samuel:23:29 @And David went up from thence, and dwelt in the strongholds of En-gedi.
asv@1Samuel:24:1 @And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of En-gedi.
asv@1Samuel:24:2 @Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.
asv@1Samuel:24:3 @And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet. Now David and his men were abiding in the innermost parts of the cave.
asv@1Samuel:24:4 @And the men of David said unto him, Behold, the day of which Jehovah said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thy hand, and thou shalt do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.
asv@1Samuel:24:5 @And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.
asv@1Samuel:24:7 @So David checked his men with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. And Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
asv@1Samuel:24:8 @David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and did obeisance.

asv@1Samuel:25:12 @So David's young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words.
asv@1Samuel:25:13 @And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the baggage.
asv@1Samuel:25:14 @But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed at them.
asv@1Samuel:25:20 @And it was so, as she rode on her ass, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that, behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.
asv@1Samuel:25:21 @Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good.
asv@1Samuel:25:22 @God do so unto the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light so much as one man-child.
asv@1Samuel:25:23 @And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and alighted from her ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.
asv@1Samuel:25:32 @And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me:
asv@1Samuel:25:35 @So David received of her hand that which she had brought him: and he said unto her, Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
asv@1Samuel:25:39 @And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept back his servant from evil: and the evil-doing of Nabal hath Jehovah returned upon his own head. And David sent and spake concerning Abigail, to take her to him to wife.
asv@1Samuel:25:40 @And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David hath sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.
asv@1Samuel:25:42 @And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
asv@1Samuel:25:43 @David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they became both of them his wives.
asv@1Samuel:25:44 @Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
asv@1Samuel:26:1 @And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert?
asv@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.
asv@1Samuel:26:3 @And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
asv@1Samuel:26:4 @David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come of a certainty.
asv@1Samuel:26:5 @And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were encamped round about him.
asv@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.
asv@1Samuel:26:7 @So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay round about him.
asv@1Samuel:26:8 @Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered up thine enemy into thy hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not smite him the second time.
asv@1Samuel:26:9 @And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not; for who can put forth his hand against Jehovah's anointed, and be guiltless?
asv@1Samuel:26:10 @And David said, As Jehovah liveth, Jehovah will smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.
asv@1Samuel:26:12 @So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's head; and they gat them away: and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Jehovah was fallen upon them.
asv@1Samuel:26:13 @Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain afar off; a great space being between them;
asv@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?
asv@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 watch over thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.
asv@1Samuel:26:17 @And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.
asv@1Samuel:26:21 @Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David; for I will no more do thee harm, because my life was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
asv@1Samuel:26:22 @And David answered and said, Behold the spear, O king! let then one of the young men come over and fetch it.
asv@1Samuel:26:25 @Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do mightily, and shalt surely prevail. So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
asv@1Samuel:27:1 @And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.
asv@1Samuel:27:2 @And David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men that were with him, unto Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
asv@1Samuel:27:3 @And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
asv@1Samuel:27:4 @And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.
asv@1Samuel:27:5 @And David said unto Achish, If now I have found favor in thine eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?
asv@1Samuel:27:7 @And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
asv@1Samuel:27:8 @And David and his men went up, and made a raid upon the Geshurites, and the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for those nations were the inhabitants of the land, who were of old, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt.
asv@1Samuel:27:9 @And David smote the land, and saved neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel; and he returned, and came to Achish.
asv@1Samuel:27:10 @And Achish said, Against whom have ye made a raid to-day? And David said, Against the South of Judah, and against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.
asv@1Samuel:27:11 @And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring them to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell of us, saying, So did David, and so hath been his manner all the while he hath dwelt in the country of the Philistines.
asv@1Samuel:27:12 @And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.
asv@1Samuel:28:1 @And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their hosts together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me in the host, thou and thy men.
asv@1Samuel:28:2 @And David said to Achish, Therefore thou shalt know what thy servant will do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of my head for ever.
asv@1Samuel:28:17 @And Jehovah hath done unto thee, as he spake by me: and Jehovah hath rent the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to thy neighbor, even to David.
asv@1Samuel:29:2 @And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rearward with Achish.
asv@1Samuel:29:3 @Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me these days, or rather these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell away unto me unto this day?
asv@1Samuel:29:5 @Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands?
asv@1Samuel:29:6 @Then Achish called David, and said unto him, As Jehovah liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favor thee not.
asv@1Samuel:29:8 @And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been before thee unto this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?
asv@1Samuel:29:9 @And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.
asv@1Samuel:29:11 @So David rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
asv@1Samuel:30:1 @And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire,
asv@1Samuel:30:3 @And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
asv@1Samuel:30:4 @Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
asv@1Samuel:30:5 @And David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
asv@1Samuel:30:6 @And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in Jehovah his God.
asv@1Samuel:30:7 @And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
asv@1Samuel:30:8 @And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake them, and shalt without fail recover all.
asv@1Samuel:30:9 @So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
asv@1Samuel:30:10 @But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
asv@1Samuel:30:11 @And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they gave him water to drink.
asv@1Samuel:30:13 @And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
asv@1Samuel:30:15 @And David said to him, Wilt thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop.
asv@1Samuel:30:17 @And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels and fled.
asv@1Samuel:30:18 @And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.
asv@1Samuel:30:19 @And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them: David brought back all.
asv@1Samuel:30:20 @And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
asv@1Samuel:30:21 @And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
asv@1Samuel:30:22 @Then answered all the wicked men and base fellows, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away, and depart.
asv@1Samuel:30:23 @Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which Jehovah hath given unto us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
asv@1Samuel:30:26 @And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold, a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah:
asv@1Samuel:30:31 @and to them that were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
asv@2Samuel:1:1 @And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
asv@2Samuel:1:2 @it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
asv@2Samuel:1:3 @And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
asv@2Samuel:1:4 @And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
asv@2Samuel:1:5 @And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
asv@2Samuel:1:11 @Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
asv@2Samuel:1:13 @And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a sojourner, an Amalekite.
asv@2Samuel:1:14 @And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to put forth thy hand to destroy Jehovah's anointed?
asv@2Samuel:1:15 @And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him, so that he died.
asv@2Samuel:1:16 @And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain Jehovah's anointed.
asv@2Samuel:1:17 @And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
asv@2Samuel:2:1 @And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And Jehovah said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
asv@2Samuel:2:2 @So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
asv@2Samuel:2:3 @And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
asv@2Samuel:2:4 @And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, The men of Jabesh-gilead were they that buried Saul.
asv@2Samuel:2:5 @And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of Jehovah, that ye have showed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
asv@2Samuel:2:10 @Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
asv@2Samuel:2:11 @And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
asv@2Samuel:2:13 @And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
asv@2Samuel:2:15 @Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin, and for Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of
