Ruth:4:17 @ And the women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, "A son has been born to Na'omi." They named him Obed; he was the father of Jesse, the father of David.
rsv@Ruth:4:22 @ Obed of Jesse, and Jesse of David.
rsv@1Samuel:16:13 @ Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
rsv@1Samuel:16:19 @ Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, "Send me David your son, who is with the sheep."
rsv@1Samuel:16:20 @ And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a skin of wine and a kid, and sent them by David his son to Saul.
rsv@1Samuel:16:21 @ And David came to Saul, and entered his service. And Saul loved him greatly, and he became his armor-bearer.
rsv@1Samuel:16:22 @ And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, "Let David remain in my service, for he has found favor in my sight."
rsv@1Samuel:16:23 @ And whenever the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, David took the lyre and played it with his hand; so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
rsv@1Samuel:17:12 @ Now David was the son of an Eph'rathite of Bethlehem in Judah, named Jesse, who had eight sons. In the days of Saul the man was already old and advanced in years.
rsv@1Samuel:17:14 @ David was the youngest; the three eldest followed Saul,
rsv@1Samuel:17:15 @ but David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
rsv@1Samuel:17:17 @ And Jesse said to David his son, "Take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to your brothers;
rsv@1Samuel:17:20 @ And David rose early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took the provisions, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the encampment as the host was going forth to the battle line, shouting the war cry.
rsv@1Samuel:17:22 @ And David left the things in charge of the keeper of the baggage, and ran to the ranks, and went and greeted his brothers.
rsv@1Samuel:17:23 @ As he talked with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came up out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke the same words as before. And David heard him.
rsv@1Samuel:17:26 @ And David said to the men who stood by him, "What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"
rsv@1Samuel:17:28 @ Now Eli'ab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eli'ab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, "Why have you come down? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your presumption, and the evil of your heart; for you have come down to see the battle."
rsv@1Samuel:17:29 @ And David said, "What have I done now? Was it not but a word?"
rsv@1Samuel:17:31 @ When the words which David spoke were heard, they repeated them before Saul; and he sent for him.
rsv@1Samuel:17:32 @ And David said to Saul, "Let no man's heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine."
rsv@1Samuel:17:33 @ And Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he has been a man of war from his youth."
rsv@1Samuel:17:34 @ But David said to Saul, "Your servant used to keep sheep for his father; and when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb from the flock,
rsv@1Samuel:17:37 @ And David said, "The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, "Go, and the LORD be with you!"
rsv@1Samuel:17:38 @ Then Saul clothed David with his armor; he put a helmet of bronze on his head, and clothed him with a coat of mail.
rsv@1Samuel:17:39 @ And David girded his sword over his armor, and he tried in vain to go, for he was not used to them. Then David said to Saul, "I cannot go with these; for I am not used to them." And David put them off.
rsv@1Samuel:17:41 @ And the Philistine came on and drew near to David, with his shield-bearer in front of him.
rsv@1Samuel:17:42 @ And when the Philistine looked, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, ruddy and comely in appearance.
rsv@1Samuel:17:43 @ And the Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
rsv@1Samuel:17:44 @ The Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and to the beasts of the field."
rsv@1Samuel:17:45 @ Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin; but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
rsv@1Samuel:17:48 @ When the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine.
rsv@1Samuel:17:49 @ And David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead; the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.
rsv@1Samuel:17:50 @ So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; there was no sword in the hand of David.
rsv@1Samuel:17:51 @ Then David ran and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
rsv@1Samuel:17:54 @ And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.
rsv@1Samuel:17:55 @ When Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, "Abner, whose son is this youth?" And Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I cannot tell."
rsv@1Samuel:17:57 @ And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
rsv@1Samuel:17:58 @ And Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, young man?" And David answered, "I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."
rsv@1Samuel:18:1 @ When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
rsv@1Samuel:18:3 @ Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.
rsv@1Samuel:18:4 @ And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his girdle.
rsv@1Samuel:18:5 @ And David went out and was successful wherever Saul sent him; so that Saul set him over the men of war. And this was good in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
rsv@1Samuel:18:6 @ As they were coming home, when David returned from slaying the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with timbrels, with songs of joy, and with instruments of music.
rsv@1Samuel:18:7 @ And the women sang to one another as they made merry, "Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands."
rsv@1Samuel:18:8 @ And Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands; and what more can he have but the kingdom?"
rsv@1Samuel:18:9 @ And Saul eyed David from that day on.
rsv@1Samuel:18:10 @ And on the morrow an evil spirit from God rushed upon Saul, and he raved within his house, while David was playing the lyre, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
rsv@1Samuel:18:11 @ and Saul cast the spear, for he thought, "I will pin David to the wall." But David evaded him twice.
rsv@1Samuel:18:12 @ Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him but had departed from Saul.
rsv@1Samuel:18:14 @ And David had success in all his undertakings; for the LORD was with him.
rsv@1Samuel:18:16 @ But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
rsv@1Samuel:18:17 @ Then Saul said to David, "Here is my elder daughter Merab; I will give her to you for a wife; only be valiant for me and fight the LORD'S battles." For Saul thought, "Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him."
rsv@1Samuel:18:18 @ And David said to Saul, "Who am I, and who are my kinsfolk, my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?"
rsv@1Samuel:18:19 @ But at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to A'driel the Meho'lathite for a wife.
rsv@1Samuel:18:20 @ Now Saul's daughter Michal loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
rsv@1Samuel:18:21 @ Saul thought, "Let me give her to him, that she may be a snare for him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David a second time, "You shall now be my son-in-law."
rsv@1Samuel:18:22 @ And Saul commanded his servants, "Speak to David in private and say, `Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you; now then become the king's son-in-law.'"
rsv@1Samuel:18:23 @ And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, "Does it seem to you a little thing to become the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man and of no repute?"
rsv@1Samuel:18:24 @ And the servants of Saul told him, "Thus and so did David speak."
rsv@1Samuel:18:25 @ Then Saul said, "Thus shall you say to David, `The king desires no marriage present except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, that he may be avenged of the king's enemies.'" Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
rsv@1Samuel:18:26 @ And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. Before the time had expired,
rsv@1Samuel:18:27 @ David arose and went, along with his men, and killed two hundred of the Philistines; and David brought their foreskins, which were given in full number to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for a wife.
rsv@1Samuel:18:28 @ But when Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that all Israel loved him,
rsv@1Samuel:18:29 @ Saul was still more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually.
rsv@1Samuel:18:30 @ Then the princes of the Philistines came out to battle, and as often as they came out David had more success than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.
rsv@1Samuel:19:1 @ And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David.
rsv@1Samuel:19:2 @ And Jonathan told David, "Saul my father seeks to kill you; therefore take heed to yourself in the morning, stay in a secret place and hide yourself;
rsv@1Samuel:19:4 @ And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Let not the king sin against his servant David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have been of good service to you;
rsv@1Samuel:19:5 @ for he took his life in his hand and he slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced; why then will you sin against innocent blood by killing David without cause?"
rsv@1Samuel:19:7 @ And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all these things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
rsv@1Samuel:19:8 @ And there was war again; and David went out and fought with the Philistines, and made a great slaughter among them, so that they fled before him.
rsv@1Samuel:19:9 @ Then an evil spirit from the LORD came upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing the lyre.
rsv@1Samuel:19:10 @ And Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear; but he eluded Saul, so that he struck the spear into the wall. And David fled, and escaped.
rsv@1Samuel:19:11 @ That night Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him, that he might kill him in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, told him, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed."
rsv@1Samuel:19:12 @ So Michal let David down through the window; and he fled away and escaped.
rsv@1Samuel:19:14 @ And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, "He is sick."
rsv@1Samuel:19:15 @ Then Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him."
rsv@1Samuel:19:18 @ Now David fled and escaped, and he came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt at Nai'oth.
rsv@1Samuel:19:19 @ And it was told Saul, "Behold, David is at Nai'oth in Ramah."
rsv@1Samuel:19:20 @ Then 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.
rsv@1Samuel:19:22 @ Then he himself went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu; and he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Behold, they are at Nai'oth in Ramah."
rsv@1Samuel:20:1 @ Then David fled from Nai'oth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, "What have I done? What is my guilt? And what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?"
rsv@1Samuel:20:3 @ But David replied, "Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he thinks, `Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.' But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death."
rsv@1Samuel:20:4 @ Then said Jonathan to David, "Whatever you say, I will do for you."
rsv@1Samuel:20:5 @ David said to Jonathan, "Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit at table with the king; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field till the third day at evening.
rsv@1Samuel:20:6 @ If your father misses me at all, then say, `David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethlehem his city; for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.'
rsv@1Samuel:20:10 @ Then said David to Jonathan, "Who will tell me if your father answers you roughly?"
rsv@1Samuel:20:11 @ And Jonathan said to David, "Come, let us go out into the field." So they both went out into the field.
rsv@1Samuel:20:12 @ And Jonathan said to David, "The LORD, the God of Israel, be witness! When I have sounded my father, about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if he is well disposed toward David, shall I not then send and disclose it to you?
rsv@1Samuel:20:15 @ and do not cut off your loyalty from my house for ever. When the LORD cuts off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth,
rsv@1Samuel:20:16 @ let not the name of Jonathan be cut off from the house of David. And may the LORD take vengeance on David's enemies."
rsv@1Samuel:20:17 @ And Jonathan made David swear again by his love for him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
rsv@1Samuel:20:24 @ So David hid himself in the field; and when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food.
rsv@1Samuel:20:25 @ The king sat upon his seat, as at other times, upon the seat by the wall; Jonathan sat opposite, and Abner sat by Saul's side, but David's place was empty.
rsv@1Samuel:20:27 @ But on the second day, the morrow after the new moon, David's place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why has not the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?"
rsv@1Samuel:20:28 @ Jonathan answered Saul, "David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem;
rsv@1Samuel:20:33 @ But Saul cast his spear at him to smite him; so Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.
rsv@1Samuel:20:34 @ And Jonathan rose from the table in fierce anger and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had disgraced him.
rsv@1Samuel:20:35 @ In the morning Jonathan went out into the field to the appointment with David, and with him a little lad.
rsv@1Samuel:20:39 @ But the lad knew nothing; only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
rsv@1Samuel:20:41 @ And as soon as the lad had gone, David rose from beside the stone heap and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed three times; and they kissed one another, and wept with one another, until David recovered himself.
rsv@1Samuel:20:42 @ Then Jonathan said to David, "Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, `The LORD shall be between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants, for ever.'" And he rose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
rsv@1Samuel:21:1 @ Then came David to Nob to Ahim'elech the priest; and Ahim'elech came to meet David trembling, and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no one with you?"
rsv@1Samuel:21:2 @ And David said to Ahim'elech the priest, "The king has charged me with a matter, and said to me, `Let no one know anything of the matter about which I send you, and with which I have charged you.' I have made an appointment with the young men for such and such a place.
rsv@1Samuel:21:4 @ And the priest answered David, "I have no common bread at hand, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women."
rsv@1Samuel:21:5 @ And David answered the priest, "Of a truth women have been kept from us as always when I go on an expedition; the vessels of the young men are holy, even when it is a common journey; how much more today will their vessels be holy?"
rsv@1Samuel:21:8 @ And David said to Ahim'elech, "And have you not here a spear or a sword at hand? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste."
rsv@1Samuel:21:9 @ And the priest said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod; if you will take that, take it, for there is none but that here." And David said, "There is none like that; give it to me."
rsv@1Samuel:21:10 @ And David rose and fled that day from Saul, and went to A'chish the king of Gath.
rsv@1Samuel:21:11 @ And the servants of A'chish said to him, "Is not this David the king of the land? Did they not sing to one another of him in dances, `Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands'?"
rsv@1Samuel:21:12 @ And David took these words to heart, and was much afraid of A'chish the king of Gath.
rsv@1Samuel:22:1 @ David departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam; and when his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.
rsv@1Samuel:22:3 @ And David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, "Pray let my father and my mother stay with you, till I know what God will do for me."
rsv@1Samuel:22:4 @ And he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.
rsv@1Samuel:22:5 @ Then the prophet Gad said to David, "Do not remain in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah." So David departed, and went into the forest of Hereth.
rsv@1Samuel:22:6 @ Now Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men who were with him. Saul was sitting at Gib'e-ah, under the tamarisk tree on the height, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
rsv@1Samuel:22:14 @ Then Ahim'elech answered the king, "And who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and captain over your bodyguard, and honored in your house?
rsv@1Samuel:22:17 @ And the king said to the guard who stood about him, "Turn and kill the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and 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 the LORD.
rsv@1Samuel:22:20 @ But one of the sons of Ahim'elech the son of Ahi'tub, named Abi'athar, escaped and fled after David.
rsv@1Samuel:22:21 @ And Abi'athar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the LORD.
rsv@1Samuel:22:22 @ And David said to Abi'athar, "I knew on that day, when Do'eg the E'domite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have occasioned the death of all the persons of your father's house.
rsv@1Samuel:23:1 @ Now they told David, "Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Kei'lah, and are robbing the threshing floors."
rsv@1Samuel:23:2 @ Therefore David inquired of the LORD, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" And the LORD said to David, "Go and attack the Philistines and save Kei'lah."
rsv@1Samuel:23:3 @ But David's men said to him, "Behold, we are afraid here in Judah; how much more then if we go to Kei'lah against the armies of the Philistines?"
rsv@1Samuel:23:4 @ Then David inquired of the LORD again. And the LORD answered him, "Arise, go down to Kei'lah; for I will give the Philistines into your hand."
rsv@1Samuel:23:5 @ And David and his men went to Kei'lah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and made a great slaughter among them. So David delivered the inhabitants of Kei'lah.
rsv@1Samuel:23:6 @ When Abi'athar the son of Ahim'elech fled to David to Kei'lah, he came down with an ephod in his hand.
rsv@1Samuel:23:7 @ Now it was told Saul that David had come to Kei'lah. And Saul said, "God has given him into my hand; for he has shut himself in by entering a town that has gates and bars."
rsv@1Samuel:23:8 @ And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Kei'lah, to besiege David and his men.
rsv@1Samuel:23:9 @ David knew that Saul was plotting evil against him; and he said to Abi'athar the priest, "Bring the ephod here."
rsv@1Samuel:23:10 @ Then said David, "O LORD, the God of Israel, thy servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Kei'lah, to destroy the city on my account.
rsv@1Samuel:23:12 @ Then said David, "Will the men of Kei'lah surrender me and my men into the hand of Saul?" And the LORD said, "They will surrender you."
rsv@1Samuel:23:13 @ Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed from Kei'lah, and they went wherever they could go. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Kei'lah, he gave up the expedition.
rsv@1Samuel:23:14 @ And David remained in the strongholds in the wilderness, in the hill country of the Wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not give him into his hand.
rsv@1Samuel:23:15 @ And David was afraid because Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the Wilderness of Ziph at Horesh.
rsv@1Samuel:23:16 @ And Jonathan, Saul's son, rose, and went to David at Horesh, and strengthened his hand in God.
rsv@1Samuel:23:18 @ And the two of them made a covenant before the LORD; David remained at Horesh, and Jonathan went home.
rsv@1Samuel:23:19 @ Then the Ziphites went up to Saul at Gib'e-ah, saying, "Does not David hide among us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachi'lah, which is south of Jeshi'mon?
rsv@1Samuel:23:24 @ And they arose, and went to Ziph ahead of Saul. Now David and his men were in the wilderness of Ma'on, in the Arabah to the south of Jeshi'mon.
rsv@1Samuel:23:25 @ And Saul and his men went to seek him. And David was told; therefore he went down to the rock which is in the wilderness of Ma'on. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Ma'on.
rsv@1Samuel:23:26 @ Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain; and David was making haste to get away from Saul, as Saul and his men were closing in upon David and his men to capture them,
rsv@1Samuel:23:28 @ So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines; therefore that place was called the Rock of Escape.
rsv@1Samuel:23:29 @ And David went up from there, and dwelt in the strongholds of En-ge'di.
rsv@1Samuel:24:1 @ When Saul returned from following the Philistines, he was told, "Behold, David is in the wilderness of En-ge'di."
rsv@1Samuel:24:2 @ Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men in front of the Wildgoats' Rocks.
rsv@1Samuel:24:3 @ And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were sitting in the innermost parts of the cave.
rsv@1Samuel:24:4 @ And the men of David said to him, "Here is the day of which the LORD said to you, `Behold, I will give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.'" Then David arose and stealthily cut off the skirt of Saul's robe.
rsv@1Samuel:24:5 @ And afterward David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.
rsv@1Samuel:24:7 @ So David persuaded his men with these words, and did not permit them to attack Saul. And Saul rose up and left the cave, and went upon his way.
rsv@1Samuel:24:8 @ Afterward David also arose, and went out of the cave, and called after Saul, "My lord the king!" And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and did obeisance.
rsv@1Samuel:24:9 @ And David said to Saul, "Why do you listen to the words of men who say, `Behold, David seeks your hurt'?
rsv@1Samuel:24:16 @ When David had finished speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.
rsv@1Samuel:24:17 @ He said to David, "You are more righteous than I; for you have repaid me good, whereas I have repaid you evil.
rsv@1Samuel:24:22 @ And David swore this to Saul. Then Saul went home; but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
rsv@1Samuel:25:1 @ Now Samuel died; and all Israel assembled and mourned for him, and they buried him in his house at Ramah. Then David rose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
rsv@1Samuel:25:4 @ David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
rsv@1Samuel:25:5 @ So David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, "Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
rsv@1Samuel:25:8 @ Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes; for we come on a feast day. Pray, give whatever you have at hand to your servants and to your son David.'"
rsv@1Samuel:25:9 @ When David's young men came, they said all this to Nabal in the name of David; and then they waited.
rsv@1Samuel:25:10 @ And Nabal answered David's servants, "Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants nowadays who are breaking away from their masters.
rsv@1Samuel:25:12 @ So David's young men turned away, and came back and told him all this.
rsv@1Samuel:25:13 @ And David said to his men, "Every man gird on his sword!" And every man of them girded on his sword; David also girded on his sword; and about four hundred men went up after David, while two hundred remained with the baggage.
rsv@1Samuel:25:14 @ But one of the young men told Ab'igail, Nabal's wife, "Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed at them.
rsv@1Samuel:25:20 @ And as she rode on the ass, and came down under cover of the mountain, behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.
rsv@1Samuel:25:21 @ Now David had said, "Surely in vain have I guarded all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him; and he has returned me evil for good.
rsv@1Samuel:25:22 @ God do so to David and more also, if by morning I leave so much as one male of all who belong to him."
rsv@1Samuel:25:23 @ When Ab'igail saw David, she made haste, and alighted from the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed to the ground.
rsv@1Samuel:25:32 @ And David said to Ab'igail, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me!
rsv@1Samuel:25:35 @ Then David received from her hand what she had brought him; and he said to her, "Go up in peace to your house; see, I have hearkened to your voice, and I have granted your petition."
rsv@1Samuel:25:39 @ When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed be the LORD who has avenged the insult I received at the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil; the LORD has returned the evil-doing of Nabal upon his own head." Then David sent and wooed Ab'igail, to make her his wife.
rsv@1Samuel:25:40 @ And when the servants of David came to Ab'igail at Carmel, they said to her, "David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife."
rsv@1Samuel:25:42 @ And Ab'igail made haste and rose and mounted on an ass, and her five maidens attended her; she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
rsv@1Samuel:25:43 @ David also took Ahin'o-am of Jezreel; and both of them became his wives.
rsv@1Samuel:25:44 @ Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of La'ish, who was of Gallim.
rsv@1Samuel:26:1 @ Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gib'e-ah, saying, "Is not David hiding himself on the hill of Hachi'lah, which is on the east of Jeshi'mon?"
rsv@1Samuel:26:2 @ So Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, with three thousand chosen men of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
rsv@1Samuel:26:3 @ And Saul encamped on the hill of Hachi'lah, which is beside the road on the east of Jeshi'mon. But David remained in the wilderness; and when he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness,
rsv@1Samuel:26:4 @ David sent out spies, and learned of a certainty that Saul had come.
rsv@1Samuel:26:5 @ Then David rose and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army; Saul was lying within the encampment, while the army was encamped around him.
rsv@1Samuel:26:6 @ Then David said to Ahim'elech the Hittite, and to Jo'ab's brother Abi'shai the son of Zeru'iah, "Who will go down with me into the camp to Saul?" And Abi'shai said, "I will go down with you."
rsv@1Samuel:26:7 @ So David and Abi'shai went to the army by night; and there lay Saul sleeping within the encampment, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the army lay around him.
rsv@1Samuel:26:8 @ Then said Abi'shai to David, "God has given your enemy into your hand this day; now therefore let me pin him to the earth with one stroke of the spear, and I will not strike him twice."
rsv@1Samuel:26:9 @ But David said to Abi'shai, "Do not destroy him; for who can put forth his hand against the LORD'S anointed, and be guiltless?"
rsv@1Samuel:26:10 @ And David said, "As the LORD lives, the LORD will smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.
rsv@1Samuel:26:12 @ So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul's head; and they went away. No man saw it, or knew it, nor did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen upon them.
rsv@1Samuel:26:13 @ Then David went over to the other side, and stood afar off on the top of the mountain, with a great space between them;
rsv@1Samuel:26:14 @ and David called to the army, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, "Will you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner answered, "Who are you that calls to the king?"
rsv@1Samuel:26:15 @ And David said to Abner, "Are you not a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.
rsv@1Samuel:26:17 @ Saul recognized David's voice, and said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" And David said, "It is my voice, my lord, O king."
rsv@1Samuel:26:21 @ Then Saul said, "I have done wrong; return, my son David, for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes this day; behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly."
rsv@1Samuel:26:22 @ And David made answer, "Here is the spear, O king! Let one of the young men come over and fetch it.
rsv@1Samuel:26:25 @ Then Saul said to David, "Blessed be you, my son David! You will do many things and will succeed in them." So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
rsv@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 to the land of the Philistines; then Saul will despair of seeking me any longer within the borders of Israel, and I shall escape out of his hand."
rsv@1Samuel:27:2 @ So David arose and went over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to A'chish the son of Ma'och, king of Gath.
rsv@1Samuel:27:3 @ And David dwelt with A'chish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahin'o-am of Jezreel, and Ab'igail of Carmel, Nabal's widow.
rsv@1Samuel:27:4 @ And when it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, he sought for him no more.
rsv@1Samuel:27:5 @ Then David said to A'chish, "If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be given me in one of the country towns, that I may dwell there; for why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?"
rsv@1Samuel:27:7 @ And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months.
rsv@1Samuel:27:8 @ Now David and his men went up, and made raids upon the Gesh'urites, the Gir'zites, and the Amal'ekites; for these were the inhabitants of the land from of old, as far as Shur, to the land of Egypt.
rsv@1Samuel:27:9 @ And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, but took away the sheep, the oxen, the asses, the camels, and the garments, and came back to A'chish.
rsv@1Samuel:27:10 @ When A'chish asked, "Against whom have you made a raid today?" David would say, "Against the Negeb of Judah," or "Against the Negeb of the Jerah'meelites," or, "Against the Negeb of the Ken'ites."
rsv@1Samuel:27:11 @ And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, thinking, "Lest they should tell about us, and say, `So David has done.'" Such was his custom all the while he dwelt in the country of the Philistines.
rsv@1Samuel:27:12 @ And A'chish trusted David, thinking, "He has made himself utterly abhorred by his people Israel; therefore he shall be my servant always."
rsv@1Samuel:28:1 @ In those days the Philistines gathered their forces for war, to fight against Israel. And A'chish said to David, "Understand that you and your men are to go out with me in the army."
rsv@1Samuel:28:2 @ David said to A'chish, "Very well, you shall know what your servant can do." And A'chish said to David, "Very well, I will make you my bodyguard for life."
rsv@1Samuel:28:17 @ The LORD has done to you as he spoke by me; for the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand, and given it to your neighbor, David.
rsv@1Samuel:29:2 @ As the lords of the Philistines were passing on by hundreds and by thousands, and David and his men were passing on in the rear with A'chish,
rsv@1Samuel:29:3 @ the commanders of the Philistines said, "What are these Hebrews doing here?" And A'chish said to the commanders of the Philistines, "Is not this David, the servant of Saul, king of Israel, who has been with me now for days and years, and since he deserted to me I have found no fault in him to this day."
rsv@1Samuel:29:5 @ Is not this David, of whom they sing to one another in dances, `Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands'?"
rsv@1Samuel:29:6 @ Then A'chish called David and said to him, "As the LORD lives, you have been honest, and to me it seems right that you should march out and in with me in the campaign; for I have found nothing wrong in you from the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless the lords do not approve of you.
rsv@1Samuel:29:8 @ And David said to A'chish, "But what have I done? What have you found in your servant from the day I entered your service until now, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"
rsv@1Samuel:29:9 @ And A'chish made answer to David, "I know that you are as blameless in my sight as an angel of God; nevertheless the commanders of the Philistines have said, `He shall not go up with us to the battle.'
rsv@1Samuel:29:11 @ So David set out with his men early in the morning, to return to the land of the Philistines. But the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
rsv@1Samuel:30:1 @ Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amal'ekites had made a raid upon the Negeb and upon Ziklag. They had overcome Ziklag, and burned it with fire,
rsv@1Samuel:30:3 @ And when David and his men came to the city, they found it burned with fire, and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive.
rsv@1Samuel:30:4 @ Then David and the people who were with him raised their voices and wept, until they had no more strength to weep.
rsv@1Samuel:30:5 @ David's two wives also had been taken captive, Ahin'o-am of Jezreel, and Ab'igail the widow of Nabal of Carmel.
rsv@1Samuel:30:6 @ And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
rsv@1Samuel:30:7 @ And David said to Abi'athar the priest, the son of Ahim'elech, "Bring me the ephod." So Abi'athar brought the ephod to David.
rsv@1Samuel:30:8 @ And David inquired of the LORD, "Shall I pursue after this band? Shall I overtake them?" He answered him, "Pursue; for you shall surely overtake and shall surely rescue."
rsv@1Samuel:30:9 @ So David set out, and the six hundred men who were with him, and they came to the brook Besor, where those stayed who were left behind.
rsv@1Samuel:30:10 @ But David went on with the pursuit, he and four hundred men; two hundred stayed behind, who were too exhausted to cross the brook Besor.
rsv@1Samuel:30:11 @ They found an Egyptian in the open country, and brought him to David; and they gave him bread and he ate, they gave him water to drink,
rsv@1Samuel:30:13 @ And David said to him, "To whom do you belong? And where are you from?" He said, "I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amal'ekite; and my master left me behind because I fell sick three days ago.
rsv@1Samuel:30:15 @ And David said to him, "Will you take me down to this band?" And he said, "Swear to me by God, that you will not kill me, or deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will take you down to this band."
rsv@1Samuel:30:17 @ And David smote them from twilight until the evening of the next day; and not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who mounted camels and fled.
rsv@1Samuel:30:18 @ David recovered all that the Amal'ekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.
rsv@1Samuel:30:19 @ Nothing was missing, whether small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything that had been taken; David brought back all.
rsv@1Samuel:30:20 @ David also captured all the flocks and herds; and the people drove those cattle before him, and said, "This is David's spoil."
rsv@1Samuel:30:21 @ Then David came to the two hundred men, who had been too exhausted to follow David, and who had been left at the brook Besor; and they went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him; and when David drew near to the people he saluted them.
rsv@1Samuel:30:22 @ Then all the wicked and base fellows among the men who had gone with David said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them any of the spoil which we have recovered, except that each man may lead away his wife and children, and depart."
rsv@1Samuel:30:23 @ But David said, "You shall not do so, my brothers, with what the LORD has given us; he has preserved us and given into our hand the band that came against us.
rsv@1Samuel:30:26 @ When David came to Ziklag, he sent part of the spoil to his friends, the elders of Judah, saying, "Here is a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of the LORD";
rsv@1Samuel:30:31 @ in Hebron, for all the places where David and his men had roamed.
rsv@2Samuel:1:1 @ After the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amal'ekites, David remained two days in Ziklag;
rsv@2Samuel:1:2 @ and on the third day, behold, a man came from Saul's camp, with his clothes rent and earth upon his head. And when he came to David, he fell to the ground and did obeisance.
rsv@2Samuel:1:3 @ David said to him, "Where do you come from?" And he said to him, "I have escaped from the camp of Israel."
rsv@2Samuel:1:4 @ And David said to him, "How did it go? Tell me." And he answered, "The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead; and Saul and his son Jonathan are also dead."
rsv@2Samuel:1:5 @ Then David said to the young man who told him, "How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?"
rsv@2Samuel:1:11 @ Then David took hold of his clothes, and rent them; and so did all the men who were with him;
rsv@2Samuel:1:13 @ And David said to the young man who told him, "Where do you come from?" And he answered, "I am the son of a sojourner, an Amal'ekite."
rsv@2Samuel:1:14 @ David said to him, "How is it you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?"
rsv@2Samuel:1:15 @ Then David called one of the young men and said, "Go, fall upon him." And he smote him so that he died.
rsv@2Samuel:1:16 @ And David said to him, "Your blood be upon your head; for your own mouth has testified against you, saying, `I have slain the LORD'S anointed.'"
rsv@2Samuel:1:17 @ And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and Jonathan his son,
rsv@2Samuel:2:1 @ After this David inquired of the LORD, "Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?" And the LORD said to him, "Go up." David said, "To which shall I go up?" And he said, "To Hebron."

rsv@2Samuel:2:5 @ David sent messengers to the men of Ja'besh-gil'ead, and said to them, "May you be blessed by the LORD, because you showed this loyalty to Saul your lord, and buried him!
