Ruth:4:17 @And the women who were her neighbours gave it a name, saying, Naomi has a child; and they gave him the name of Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
bbe@Ruth:4:22 @And Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
bbe@1Samuel:16:13 @Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on him there among his brothers: and from that day the spirit of the Lord came on David with power. So Samuel went back to Ramah.
bbe@1Samuel:16:19 @So Saul sent his servants to Jesse and said, Send me your son David who is with the sheep.
bbe@1Samuel:16:20 @And Jesse took five cakes of bread and a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them to Saul by David.
bbe@1Samuel:16:21 @And David came to Saul, waiting before him: and he became very dear to Saul, who made him his servant, giving him the care of his arms
bbe@1Samuel:16:22 @And Saul sent to Jesse saying, Let David be with me, for he is pleasing to me.
bbe@1Samuel:16:23 @And whenever the evil spirit from God came on Saul, David took his instrument and made music: so new life came to Saul, and he got well, and the evil spirit went away from him.
bbe@1Samuel:17:12 @Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah named Jesse, who had eight sons; and he was an old man in Saul's day, and far on in years.
bbe@1Samuel:17:14 @And David was the youngest: and the three oldest were with Saul's army.
bbe@1Samuel:17:15 @Now David went to and from Saul, looking after his father's sheep at Beth-lehem.
bbe@1Samuel:17:17 @And Jesse said to his son David, Take now for your brothers an ephah of this dry grain and these ten cakes of bread, and go quickly with them to the tents to your brothers;
bbe@1Samuel:17:20 @And David got up early in the morning, and, giving the sheep into the care of a keeper, took the things and went as Jesse had said; and he came to the lines where the carts were, when the army was going out to the fight giving their war-cry.
bbe@1Samuel:17:22 @And David gave his parcels into the hands of the keeper of the army stores, and went running to the army and came to his brothers to get knowledge about them.
bbe@1Samuel:17:23 @And while he was talking to them, the fighter, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came out from the Philistines' lines and said the same words, in David's hearing
bbe@1Samuel:17:26 @And David said to the men near him, What will be done to the man who overcomes this Philistine and takes away the shame from Israel? for who is this Philistine, a man without circumcision, that he has put shame on the armies of the living God?
bbe@1Samuel:17:28 @And Eliab, his oldest brother, hearing what David said to the men, was moved to wrath against David, and said, Why have you come here? Into whose care have you given that little flock of sheep in the waste land? I have knowledge of your pride and the evil of your heart, you have come down to see the fight.
bbe@1Samuel:17:29 @And David said, What have I done now? was it not only a word?
bbe@1Samuel:17:31 @And, hearing what David said, they gave Saul word of it: and he sent for him.
bbe@1Samuel:17:32 @And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart become feeble because of him; I, your servant, will go out and have a fight with this Philistine.
bbe@1Samuel:17:33 @And Saul said to David, You are not able to go out against this Philistine and have a fight with him: for you are only a boy, and he has been a man of war from his earliest days.
bbe@1Samuel:17:34 @And David said to Saul, Your servant has been keeper of his father's sheep; and if a lion or a bear came and took a lamb from the flock,
bbe@1Samuel:17:37 @And David said, The Lord, who kept me safe from the grip of the lion and the bear, will be my saviour from the hands of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go! and may the Lord be with you.
bbe@1Samuel:17:38 @Then Saul gave David his clothing of war, and put a head-dress of brass on his head and had him clothed with a coat of metal.
bbe@1Samuel:17:39 @And David took Saul's sword and put the band round him over the metal coat, and was unable to go forward; for he was not used to them. Then David said to Saul, It is not possible for me to go out with these, for I am not used to them. So David took them off.
bbe@1Samuel:17:41 @And the Philistine came nearer to David; and the man who had his body-cover went before him.
bbe@1Samuel:17:42 @And when the Philistine, taking note, saw David, he had a poor opinion of him: for he was only a boy, red-haired and good-looking.
bbe@1Samuel:17:43 @And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you come out to me with sticks? And the Philistine put curses on David by all his gods.
bbe@1Samuel:17:44 @And the Philistine said to David, Come here to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field.
bbe@1Samuel:17:45 @Then David said to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword and a spear and a javelin: but I come to you in the name of the Lord of armies, the God of the armies of Israel on which you have put shame.
bbe@1Samuel:17:48 @Now when the Philistine made a move and came near to David, David quickly went at a run in the direction of the army, meeting the Philistine face to face.
bbe@1Samuel:17:49 @And David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone and sent it from his leather band straight at the Philistine, and the stone went deep into his brow, and he went down to the earth, falling on his face.
bbe@1Samuel:17:50 @So David overcame the Philistine with his leather band and a stone, wounding the Philistine and causing his death: but David had no sword in his hand.
bbe@1Samuel:17:51 @So running up to the Philistine and putting his foot on him, David took his sword out of its cover, and put him to death, cutting off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their fighter was dead, they went in flight.
bbe@1Samuel:17:54 @And David took the head of the Philistine to Jerusalem, but the metal war-dress and the arms he put in his tent.
bbe@1Samuel:17:55 @And when Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army, Abner, whose son is this young man? And Abner said, On your life, O king, I have no idea.
bbe@1Samuel:17:57 @And when David was coming back after the destruction of the Philistine, Abner took him to Saul, with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
bbe@1Samuel:17:58 @And Saul said to him, Young man, whose son are you? And David in answer said, I am the son of your servant Jesse of Beth-lehem.
bbe@1Samuel:18:1 @Now after David's talk with Saul was ended, the soul of Jonathan was joined with the soul of David, and David became as dear to him as his very life.
bbe@1Samuel:18:2 @And that day Saul took David and would not let him go back to his father's house.
bbe@1Samuel:18:3 @Then Jonathan and David made an agreement together, because of Jonathan's love for David.
bbe@1Samuel:18:4 @And Jonathan took off the robe he had on and gave it to David, with all his military dress, even to his sword and his bow and the band round his body.
bbe@1Samuel:18:5 @And David went wherever Saul sent him, and did wisely: and Saul put him at the head of his men of war, and this was pleasing to all the people as well as to Saul's servants.
bbe@1Samuel:18:6 @Now on their way, when David came back after the destruction of the Philistine, the women came out of all the towns of Israel, with songs and dances, meeting David with melody and joy and instruments of music.
bbe@1Samuel:18:7 @And the women, answering one another in their song, said, Saul has put to death his thousands and David his tens of thousands.
bbe@1Samuel:18:8 @And Saul was very angry and this saying was unpleasing to him; and he said, They have given David credit for tens of thousands, and to me for only thousands: what more is there for him but the kingdom?
bbe@1Samuel:18:9 @And from that day Saul was looking with envy on David.
bbe@1Samuel:18:10 @Now on the day after, an evil spirit from God came on Saul with great force and he was acting like a prophet among the men of his house, while David was making music for him, as he did day by day: and Saul had his spear in his hand
bbe@1Samuel:18:11 @And Saul, balancing the spear in his hand, said, I will give David a blow, pinning him to the wall. And David got away from him twice.
bbe@1Samuel:18:12 @And Saul went in fear of David, because the Lord was with David and had gone away from Saul.
bbe@1Samuel:18:14 @And in all his undertakings David did wisely; and the Lord was with him.
bbe@1Samuel:18:16 @But David was loved by all Israel and Judah, for he went out and came in before them.
bbe@1Samuel:18:17 @And Saul said to David, Here is my oldest daughter Merab, whom I will give you for your wife: only be strong for me, fighting in the Lord's wars. For Saul said, Let it not be through me that his fate comes to him, but through the Philistines.
bbe@1Samuel:18:18 @And David said to Saul, Who am I, and what is my father's family in Israel, that I am to be son-in-law to the king?
bbe@1Samuel:18:19 @But when the time came to give Merab, Saul's daughter, to David, she was given to Adriel of Meholath.
bbe@1Samuel:18:20 @And Saul's daughter Michal was in love with David: and Saul had word of it and was pleased.
bbe@1Samuel:18:21 @And Saul said, I will give her to him, so that she may be a cause of danger to him, and so that the hands of the Philistines may be against him. So Saul said to David, Today you are to become my son-in-law for the second time.
bbe@1Samuel:18:22 @And Saul gave his servants orders saying, Have talk with David secretly and say to him, See how the king has delight in you, and how you are loved by all his servants: then be the king's son-in-law.
bbe@1Samuel:18:23 @And Saul's servants said these things to David. And David said, Does it seem to you a small thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, of no great name?
bbe@1Samuel:18:24 @And the servants of Saul gave him an account of what David had said.
bbe@1Samuel:18:25 @And Saul said, Then say to David, The king has no desire for any bride-price, but only for the private parts of a hundred Philistines so that the king may get the better of his haters. But it was in Saul's mind that David might come to his end by the hands of the Philistines.
bbe@1Samuel:18:26 @And when his servants said these words to David, he was well pleased to be the son-in-law of the king. And the days were still not past.
bbe@1Samuel:18:27 @So David and his men got up and went, and put to death two hundred of the Philistines; and David took their private parts and gave the full number of them to the king, so that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for his wife.
bbe@1Samuel:18:28 @And it was clear to Saul that the Lord was with David; and he was loved by all Israel.
bbe@1Samuel:18:29 @And Saul's fear of David became all the greater, and he went on hating him, day by day.
bbe@1Samuel:18:30 @Then the rulers of the Philistines went out to war: and whenever they went out, David did more wisely than all the other servants of Saul, so that his name became greatly honoured.
bbe@1Samuel:19:1 @And Saul gave orders to his son Jonathan and to all his servants to put David to death. But Saul's son Jonathan had great delight in David.
bbe@1Samuel:19:2 @And Jonathan said to David, Saul, my father, is purposing your death: so now, take care in the morning, and keep yourself safe in a secret place:
bbe@1Samuel:19:4 @And Jonathan gave his father Saul a good account of David, and said to him, Let not the king do wrong against his servant, against David; because he has done you no wrong, and all his acts have had a good outcome for you:
bbe@1Samuel:19:5 @For he put his life in danger and overcame the Philistine, and the Lord gave all Israel salvation: you saw it and were glad: why then are you sinning against him who has done no wrong, desiring the death of David without cause?
bbe@1Samuel:19:7 @Then Jonathan sent for David and gave him word of all these things. And Jonathan took David to Saul, who kept him by his side as in the past.
bbe@1Samuel:19:8 @And there was war again: and David went out fighting the Philistines, causing great destruction among them; and they went in flight before him.
bbe@1Samuel:19:9 @And an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul, when he was seated in his house with his spear in his hand; and David made music for him.
bbe@1Samuel:19:10 @And Saul would have sent his spear through him, pinning him to the wall, but he got away and the spear went into the wall: and that night David went in flight and got away
bbe@1Samuel:19:11 @Then in that night Saul sent men to David's house to keep watch on him so as to put him to death in the morning: and David's wife Michal said to him, If you do not go away to a safe place tonight you will be put to death in the morning.
bbe@1Samuel:19:12 @So Michal let David down through the window, and he went in flight and got away.
bbe@1Samuel:19:14 @And when Saul sent men to take David, she said, He is ill.
bbe@1Samuel:19:15 @And Saul sent his men to see David, saying, Do not come back without him, take him in his bed, so that I may put him to death.
bbe@1Samuel:19:18 @So David went in flight and got away and came to Ramah, to Samuel, and gave him an account of all Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and were living in Naioth.
bbe@1Samuel:19:19 @And word was given to Saul that David was at Naioth in Ramah.
bbe@1Samuel:19:20 @And Saul sent men to take David; and when they saw the band of prophets at work, with Samuel in his place at their head, the spirit of God came on Saul's men, and they became like prophets.
bbe@1Samuel:19:22 @Then he himself went to Ramah, and came to the great water-spring in Secu; and questioning the people he said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, They are at Naioth in Ramah.
bbe@1Samuel:20:1 @And David went in flight from Naioth in Ramah and came to Jonathan and said, What have I done? What is my crime and my sin against your father that he is attempting to take my life?
bbe@1Samuel:20:3 @But David took his oath again and said, Your father sees that I am dear to you; so he says to himself, Let Jonathan have no idea of this, for it will be a grief to him; but as the Lord is living, and as your soul is living, there is only a step between me and death.
bbe@1Samuel:20:4 @Then Jonathan said to David, Whatever your desire is, I will do it for you.
bbe@1Samuel:20:5 @And David said to Jonathan, Tomorrow is the new moon, and I will not be seated with the king at his table: but let me go to a safe place in the country till the evening.
bbe@1Samuel:20:6 @And if your father takes note of the fact that I am away, say, David made a request to me for himself that he might go to Beth-lehem, to his town: for it is the time when his family make their offering year by year.
bbe@1Samuel:20:10 @Then David said to Jonathan, Who will give me word if your father gives you a rough answer?
bbe@1Samuel:20:11 @And Jonathan said to David, Come, let us go out into the country. And the two of them went out together into the open country.
bbe@1Samuel:20:12 @And Jonathan said to David, May the Lord, the God of Israel, be witness; when I have had a chance of talking to my father, about this time tomorrow, if his feelings to David are good, will I not send and give you the news?
bbe@1Samuel:20:15 @And let not your mercy ever be cut off from my family, even when the Lord has sent destruction on all David's haters, cutting them off from the face of the earth.
bbe@1Samuel:20:16 @And if it comes about that the name of Jonathan is cut off from the family of David, the Lord will make David responsible.
bbe@1Samuel:20:17 @And Jonathan again took an oath to David, because of his love for him: for David was as dear to him as his very soul.
bbe@1Samuel:20:24 @So David went to a secret place in the country: and when the new moon came, the king took his place at the feast.
bbe@1Samuel:20:25 @And the king took his seat, as at other times, by the wall: and Jonathan was in front, and Abner was seated by Saul's side, but there was no one in David's seat.
bbe@1Samuel:20:27 @And on the day after the new moon, that is, the second day, there was still no one in David's seat: and Saul said to his son Jonathan, Why has the son of Jesse not come to the feast yesterday or today?
bbe@1Samuel:20:33 @And Saul, pointing his spear at him, made an attempt to give him a wound: from which it was clear to Jonathan that his father's purpose was to put David to death.
bbe@1Samuel:20:34 @So Jonathan got up from the table, burning with wrath, and took no part in the feast the second day of the month, being full of grief for David because his father had put shame on him.
bbe@1Samuel:20:35 @Now in the morning, Jonathan went out into the fields at the time he had said to David, and he had a little boy with him.
bbe@1Samuel:20:39 @But the boy had no idea what was going on; only Jonathan and David had knowledge of it.
bbe@1Samuel:20:41 @And when the boy had gone, David came from his secret place by the hill, and falling to the earth went down on his face three times: and they gave one another a kiss, weeping together, till David's grief was the greater.
bbe@1Samuel:20:42 @And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, for we two have taken an oath, in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord will be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever.
bbe@1Samuel:20:43 @Then David went away, and Jonathan went into the town.
bbe@1Samuel:21:1 @Then David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was full of fear at meeting David, and said to him, Why are you by yourself, having no man with you?
bbe@1Samuel:21:2 @And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has given me orders and has said to me, Say nothing to anyone about the business on which I am sending you and the orders I have given you: and a certain place has been fixed to which the young men are to go.
bbe@1Samuel:21:4 @And the priest, answering David, said, I have no common bread here but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.
bbe@1Samuel:21:5 @And David in answer said to the priest, Certainly women have been kept from us; and as has been done before when I have gone out the arms of the young men were made holy, even though it was a common journey; how much more today will their arms be made holy.
bbe@1Samuel:21:8 @And David said to Ahimelech, Have you no sword or spear with you here? for I have come without my sword and other arms, because the king's business had to be done quickly.
bbe@1Samuel:21:9 @And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you put to death in the valley of Elah, is here folded in a cloth at the back of the ephod: take that, if you will, for there is no other sword here. And David said, there is no other sword like that; give it to me.
bbe@1Samuel:21:10 @Then David got up and went in flight that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish, the king of Gath.
bbe@1Samuel:21:11 @And the servants of Achish said to him, Is not this David, the king of the land? did they not make songs about him in their dances, saying, Saul has put to death thousands, and David tens of thousands?
bbe@1Samuel:21:12 @And David took these words to heart, fearing Achish, the king of Gath.
bbe@1Samuel:22:1 @So David went away from there and took cover in a strong place at Adullam; and his brothers and all his father's people, hearing of it, went down to him there.
bbe@1Samuel:22:3 @And from there David went to Mizpeh in the land of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab, Let my father and mother come and make their living-place with you till it is clear to me what God will do for me.
bbe@1Samuel:22:4 @And he took them to the king of Moab and they went on living with him while David was in his safe place.
bbe@1Samuel:22:5 @And the prophet Gad said to David, Do not go on living in this place but go into the land of Judah. Then David went away and came to the woodland of Hereth.
bbe@1Samuel:22:6 @And news was given to Saul that David had been seen, and the men who were with him: now Saul was in Gibeah, seated under the tree in the high place, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were in their places before him.
bbe@1Samuel:22:14 @Then Ahimelech answering said to the king, Who among all your servants is so true to you as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and is a captain of your armed men, and has a place of honour in your house?
bbe@1Samuel:22:17 @Then the king said to the runners who were waiting near him, Put the priests of the Lord to death; because they are on David's side, and having knowledge of his flight, did not give me word of it. But the king's servants would not put out their hands to make an attack on the Lord's priests.
bbe@1Samuel:22:20 @And Abiathar, one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, got away and went in flight after David;
bbe@1Samuel:22:22 @And David said to Abiathar, I was certain that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would take the news to Saul: I am responsible for the lives of all your father's family.
bbe@1Samuel:23:1 @And they sent word to David, saying, The Philistines are fighting against Keilah and taking the grain from the grain-floors.
bbe@1Samuel:23:2 @So David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go and make an attack on these Philistines? And the Lord said to David, Go and make an attack on the Philistines so that Keilah may be kept from falling into their hands.
bbe@1Samuel:23:3 @And David's men said to him, Even here in Judah we are full of fear: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?
bbe@1Samuel:23:4 @Then David put the question to the Lord again, and the Lord answering said, Up! go down to Keilah; for I will give the Philistines into your hands.
bbe@1Samuel:23:5 @So David and his men went to Keilah, and had a fight with the Philistines, and took away their cattle, and put them to the sword with great destruction. So David was the saviour of the people of Keilah.
bbe@1Samuel:23:6 @Now when Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, went in flight to David, he came down to Keilah with the ephod in his hand.
bbe@1Samuel:23:7 @And news was given to Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, Now God has given him into my hands; for by going into a walled town with locked doors, he has let himself be shut in.
bbe@1Samuel:23:8 @And Saul sent for all the people to come to the fight, and go down to Keilah to make an attack on David and his men.
bbe@1Samuel:23:9 @And it was clear to David that Saul had evil designs against him, and he said to Abiathar the priest, Come here with the ephod.
bbe@1Samuel:23:10 @Then David said, O Lord, the God of Israel, news has been given to your servant that it is Saul's purpose to come to Keilah and send destruction on the town because of me.
bbe@1Samuel:23:12 @Then David said, Will the men of Keilah give me and my men up to Saul? and the Lord said, They will give you up.
bbe@1Samuel:23:13 @Then David and his men, about six hundred of them, went out of Keilah, and got away wherever they were able to go. And Saul, hearing that David had got away from Keilah, did not go there.
bbe@1Samuel:23:14 @And David kept in the waste land, in safe places, waiting in the hill-country in the waste land of Ziph. And Saul was searching for him every day, but God did not give him up into his hands.
bbe@1Samuel:23:15 @And David was full of fear, in the knowledge that Saul had come out to take his life; and David was in the waste land of Ziph, in Horesh.
bbe@1Samuel:23:16 @And Saul's son Jonathan went to David in Horesh, and made his hands strong in God;
bbe@1Samuel:23:18 @And the two of them made an agreement before the Lord: and David went on living in Horesh, and Jonathan went back to his house
bbe@1Samuel:23:19 @Then the Ziphites came up to Gibeah to see Saul, and said, Is not David living secretly among us in the strong places in Horesh, in the hill of Hachilah to the south of the waste land?
bbe@1Samuel:23:24 @And they went back and came to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the waste land of Maon, in the dry land south of the waste land.
bbe@1Samuel:23:25 @And Saul and his men went in search of him. And David had word of it, so he came down to the rock in the waste land of Maon. And Saul, hearing of this, went after David into the waste land of Maon.
bbe@1Samuel:23:26 @And Saul and his men went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men went on the other: and David's purpose was to get away as quickly as possible, for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men were making a circle round David and his men in order to take them.
bbe@1Samuel:23:28 @So turning back from going after David, Saul went against the Philistines: so that place was named Sela-hammah-lekoth.
bbe@1Samuel:23:29 @And from there, David went up and took cover in the safe place of En-gedi.
bbe@1Samuel:24:1 @Now when Saul came back from fighting the Philistines, news was given him that David was in the waste land of En-gedi.
bbe@1Samuel:24:2 @Then Saul took three thousand of the best men out of all Israel, and went in search of David and his men on the rocks of the mountain goats.
bbe@1Samuel:24:3 @And on the way he came to a place where sheep were kept, where there was a hollow in the rock; and Saul went in for a private purpose. Now David and his men were in the deepest part of the hollow.
bbe@1Samuel:24:4 @And David's men said to him, Now is the time when the Lord says to you, I will give up your hater into your hands to do with him whatever seems good to you. Then David, getting up, took the skirt of Saul's robe in his hand, cutting off the end of it without his knowledge.
bbe@1Samuel:24:5 @And later, David was full of regret for cutting off Saul's skirt.
bbe@1Samuel:24:6 @And David said to his men, Before the Lord, never let it be said that my hand was lifted up against my lord, the man of the Lord's selection, for the Lord's holy oil has been put on him.
bbe@1Samuel:24:7 @So with these words David kept his servants back, and did not let them make an attack on Saul. And Saul got up and went on his way.
bbe@1Samuel:24:8 @And after that David came out of the hollow rock, and crying after Saul said, My lord the king. And when Saul gave a look back, David went down on his face and gave him honour.
bbe@1Samuel:24:9 @And David said to Saul, Why do you give any attention to those who say that it is my desire to do you wrong?
bbe@1Samuel:24:16 @Now when David had said these words to Saul, Saul said, Is this your voice, David, my son? And Saul was overcome with weeping.
bbe@1Samuel:24:17 @And he said to David, You are right and I am wrong: for you have given me back good, but I have given you evil.
bbe@1Samuel:24:22 @And David gave Saul his oath. And Saul went back to his house; but David and his men went up to their safe place.
bbe@1Samuel:25:1 @And death came to Samuel; and all Israel came together, weeping for him, and put his body in its resting-place in his house at Ramah. Then David went down to the waste land of Maon.
bbe@1Samuel:25:4 @And David had word in the waste land that Nabal was cutting the wool of his sheep.
bbe@1Samuel:25:5 @And David sent ten young men, and said to them, Go up to Carmel and go to Nabal, and say kind words to him in my name;
bbe@1Samuel:25:8 @If your young men are questioned they will say the same thing. So now, let my young men have grace in your eyes, for we are come at a good time; please give anything you may have by you to your servants and to your son David.
bbe@1Samuel:25:9 @And when David's young men came, they said all this to Nabal, in David's name, and said nothing more
bbe@1Samuel:25:10 @And Nabal gave them his answer and said, Who is David? who is the son of Jesse? there are a number of servants in these days running away from their masters.
bbe@1Samuel:25:12 @So David's young men, turning away, went back and gave him an account of everything he had said.
bbe@1Samuel:25:13 @And David said to his men, Put on your swords, every one of you. And every man put on his sword; and David did the same; and about four hundred men went up with David, and two hundred kept watch over their goods.
bbe@1Samuel:25:14 @But one of the young men said to Nabal's wife Abigail, David sent men from the waste land to say kind words to our master, and he gave them a rough answer.
bbe@1Samuel:25:20 @Now while she was going down under cover of the mountain on her ass, David and his men came down against her, and suddenly she came face to face with them.
bbe@1Samuel:25:21 @Now David had said, What was the use of my taking care of this man's goods in the waste land, so that there was no loss of anything which was his? he has only given me back evil for good.
bbe@1Samuel:25:22 @May God's punishment be on David, if when morning comes there is so much as one male of his people still living.
bbe@1Samuel:25:23 @And when Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her ass, falling down on her face before him.
bbe@1Samuel:25:32 @And David said to Abigail, May the Lord, the God of Israel, be praised, who sent you to me today:
bbe@1Samuel:25:35 @Then David took from her hands her offering: and he said to her, Go back to your house in peace; see, I have given ear to your voice, and taken your offering with respect.
bbe@1Samuel:25:39 @And David, hearing that Nabal was dead, said, May the Lord be praised, who has taken up my cause against Nabal for the shame which he put on me, and has kept back his servant from evil, and has sent on Nabal's head the reward of his evil-doing. And David sent word to Abigail, desiring to take her as his wife.
bbe@1Samuel:25:40 @And when David's servants came to Carmel, to Abigail, they said to her, David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife.
bbe@1Samuel:25:42 @Then Abigail got up quickly and went on her ass, with five of her young women, after the men whom David had sent; and she became David's wife.
bbe@1Samuel:25:43 @And David had taken Ahinoam of Jezreel, to be his wife; these two were his wives.
bbe@1Samuel:25:44 @Now Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish of Gallim.
bbe@1Samuel:26:1 @And the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, and said, Is not David waiting secretly near us in the hill of Hachilah, before the waste land?
bbe@1Samuel:26:2 @Then Saul went down to the waste land of Ziph, taking with him three thousand of the best men of Israel, to make search for David in the waste land of Ziph.
bbe@1Samuel:26:3 @And Saul put up his tents on the hill of Hachilah, which is in front of the waste land on the road. But David was in the waste land, and he saw that Saul was coming after him.
bbe@1Samuel:26:4 @And so David sent out watchers, and got word from them that Saul was certainly coming.
bbe@1Samuel:26:5 @And David got up and came to the place where Saul's tents were: and David had a view of the place where Saul was sleeping with Abner, the son of Ner, the captain of his army: and Saul was sleeping inside the ring of carts, and the tents of the people were all round him.
bbe@1Samuel:26:6 @Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, Who will go down with me to the tents of Saul? And Abishai said, I will go down with you.
bbe@1Samuel:26:7 @So David and Abishai came down to the army by night: and Saul was sleeping inside the ring of carts with his spear planted in the earth by his head: and Abner and the people were sleeping round him.
bbe@1Samuel:26:8 @Then Abishai said to David, God has given up your hater into your hands today; now let me give him one blow through to the earth with his spear, and there will be no need to give him a second.
bbe@1Samuel:26:9 @And David said to Abishai Do not put him to death; for who, without sin, may put out his hand against the man on whom the Lord has put the holy oil?
bbe@1Samuel:26:10 @And David said, By the living Lord, the Lord will send destruction on him; the natural day of his death will come, or he will go into the fight and come to his end.
bbe@1Samuel:26:12 @So David took the spear and the vessel of water from Saul's head; and they got away without any man seeing them, or being conscious of their coming, or awaking; for they were all sleeping because a deep sleep from the Lord had come on them.
bbe@1Samuel:26:13 @Then David went over to the other side, and took his place on the top of a mountain some distance away, with a great space between them;
bbe@1Samuel:26:14 @And crying out to the people and to Abner, the son of Ner, David said, Have you no answer to give, Abner? Then Abner said, Who is that crying out to the king?
bbe@1Samuel:26:15 @And David said to Abner, Are you not a man of war? is there any other like you in Israel? why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? for one of the people came in to put the king your lord to death.
bbe@1Samuel:26:17 @And Saul, conscious that the voice was David's, said, Is that your voice, David, my son? And David said, It is my voice, O my lord king.
bbe@1Samuel:26:21 @Then Saul said, I have done wrong: come back to me, David my son: I will do you no more wrong, because my life was dear to you today truly, I have been foolish and my error is very great.
bbe@1Samuel:26:22 @Then David said, Here is the king's spear! let one of the young men come over and get it.
bbe@1Samuel:26:25 @Then Saul said to David, May a blessing be on you, David, my son; you will do great things and without doubt you will overcome. Then David went on his way, and Saul went back to his place.
bbe@1Samuel:27:1 @And David said to himself, Some day death will come to me by the hand of Saul: the only thing for me to do is to get away into the land of the Philistines; then Saul will give up hope of taking me in any part of the land of Israel: and so I may be able to get away from him.
bbe@1Samuel:27:2 @So David and the six hundred men who were with him went over to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
bbe@1Samuel:27:3 @And David and his men were living with Achish at Gath; every man had his family with him, and David had his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of Carmel, who had been the wife of Nabal.
bbe@1Samuel:27:4 @And Saul, hearing that David had gone to Gath, went after him no longer.
bbe@1Samuel:27:5 @Then David said to Achish, If now I have grace in your eyes, let me have a place in one of the smaller towns of your land, to be my living-place; for it is not right for your servant to be living with you in the king's town.
bbe@1Samuel:27:7 @And David was living in the land of the Philistines for the space of a year and four months.
bbe@1Samuel:27:8 @And David and his men went up and made attacks on the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites; for these were the people who were living in the land from Telam on the way to Shur, as far as Egypt.
bbe@1Samuel:27:9 @And David again and again made attacks on the land till not a man or a woman was still living; and he took away the sheep and the oxen and the asses and the camels and the clothing; and he came back to Achish.
bbe@1Samuel:27:10 @And every time Achish said, Where have you been fighting today? David said, Against the South of Judah and the South of the Jerahmeelites and the South of the Kenites.
bbe@1Samuel:27:11 @Not one living man or woman did David ever take back with him to Gath, fearing that they might give an account of what had taken place, and say, This is what David did, and so has he been doing all the time while he has been living in the land of the Philistines.
bbe@1Samuel:27:12 @And Achish had belief in what David said, saying, He has made himself hated by all his people Israel, and so he will be my servant for ever.
bbe@1Samuel:28:1 @Now in those days the Philistines got their forces together to make war on Israel. And Achish said to David, Certainly you and your men are to go out with me to the fight.
bbe@1Samuel:28:2 @And David said to Achish, You will see now what your servant will do. And Achish said to David, Then I will make you keeper of my head for ever.
bbe@1Samuel:28:17 @And the Lord himself has done what I said: the Lord has taken the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbour David;
bbe@1Samuel:29:2 @And the lords of the Philistines went on with their hundreds and their thousands, and David and his men came after with Achish.
bbe@1Samuel:29:3 @Then the rulers of the Philistines said, What are these Hebrews doing here? And Achish said to the rulers of the Philistines, Is this not David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me for a year or two, and I have never seen any wrong in him from the time when he came to me till now?
bbe@1Samuel:29:5 @Is this not David, who was named in their songs, when in the dance they said to one another, Saul has put to death thousands, and David tens of thousands?
bbe@1Samuel:29:6 @Then Achish sent for David and said to him, By the living Lord, you are upright, and everything you have done with me in the army has been pleasing to me: I have seen no evil in you from the day when you came to me till now: but still, the lords are not pleased with you.
bbe@1Samuel:29:8 @And David said to Achish, But what have I done? what have you seen in your servant while I have been with you till this day, that I may not go and take up arms against those who are now making war on my lord the king?
bbe@1Samuel:29:11 @So David and his men got up early in the morning to go back to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
bbe@1Samuel:30:1 @Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the South and on Ziklag, and had overcome Ziklag and put it on fire;
bbe@1Samuel:30:3 @And when David and his men came to the town, they saw that it had been burned down, and their wives and their sons and daughters had been made prisoners.
bbe@1Samuel:30:4 @Then David and the people who were with him gave themselves up to weeping till they were able to go on weeping no longer.
bbe@1Samuel:30:5 @And David's two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel, had been made prisoners.
bbe@1Samuel:30:6 @And David was greatly troubled; for the people were talking of stoning him, because their hearts were bitter, every man sorrowing for his sons and his daughters: but David made himself strong in the Lord his God.
bbe@1Samuel:30:7 @And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, Come here to me with the ephod. And Abiathar took the ephod to David.
bbe@1Samuel:30:8 @Then David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go after this band? will I be able to overtake them? And in answer he said, Go after them, for you will certainly overtake them, and get back everything.
bbe@1Samuel:30:9 @So David went, and his six hundred men went with him, and they came to the stream Besor.
bbe@1Samuel:30:10 @And David, with four hundred men, went on: but two hundred of them were overcome with weariness, and not able to go across the stream.
bbe@1Samuel:30:11 @And in the fields they saw an Egyptian whom they took to David, and they gave him bread, and he had a meal, and they gave him water for drink;
bbe@1Samuel:30:13 @And David said to him, Whose man are you and where do you come from? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master went on without me because three days back I became ill.
bbe@1Samuel:30:15 @And David said to him, Will you take me down to this band? And he said, If you give me your oath that you will not put me to death or give me up to my master, I will take you to them.
bbe@1Samuel:30:17 @And David went on fighting them from evening till the evening of the day after; and not one of them got away but only four hundred young men who went in flight on camels.
bbe@1Samuel:30:18 @And David got back everything the Amalekites had taken; and he got back his two wives.
bbe@1Samuel:30:19 @There was no loss of anything, small or great, sons or daughters or goods or anything which they had taken away: David got it all back
bbe@1Samuel:30:20 @And they took all the flocks and herds, and driving them in front of him, said, These are David's.
bbe@1Samuel:30:21 @And David came to the two hundred men, who because of weariness had not gone with him, but were waiting at the stream Besor: and they went out, meeting David and the people who were with him; and when they came near them, they said, How are you?
bbe@1Samuel:30:22 @Then the bad and good-for-nothing men among those who went with David said, Because they did not go with us, we will give them nothing of the goods which we have got back, but only to every man his wife and children, so that he may take them and go.
bbe@1Samuel:30:23 @Then David said, You are not to do this, my brothers, after what the Lord has given us, who has kept us safe and given up the band which came against us into our hands.
bbe@1Samuel:30:26 @And when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the goods to the responsible men of Judah, and to his friends, saying, Here is an offering for you from the goods of those who were fighting against the Lord;
bbe@1Samuel:30:31 @And in Hebron, and to all the places where David and his men had been living.
bbe@2Samuel:1:1 @Now after the death of Saul, when David, having come back from the destruction of the Amalekites, had been in Ziklag for two days;
bbe@2Samuel:1:2 @On the third day a man came from Saul's tents, with his clothing out of order and earth on his head: and when he came to David, he went down on the earth and gave him honour.
bbe@2Samuel:1:3 @And David said to him, Where have you come from? And he said, I have come in flight from the tents of Israel.
bbe@2Samuel:1:4 @And David said to him, How did things go? Give me the news. And in answer he said, The people have gone in flight from the fight, and a great number of them are dead; and Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.
bbe@2Samuel:1:5 @And David said to the young man who gave him the news, Why are you certain that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?
bbe@2Samuel:1:11 @Then David gave way to bitter grief, and so did all the men who were with him:
bbe@2Samuel:1:13 @And David said to the young man who had given him the news, Where do you come from? And he said, I am the son of a man from a strange land; I am an Amalekite.
bbe@2Samuel:1:14 @And David said to him, Had you no fear of stretching out your hand to put to death the one marked with the holy oil?
bbe@2Samuel:1:15 @And David sent for one of his young men and said, Go near and put an end to him. And he put him to death.
bbe@2Samuel:1:16 @And David said to him, May your blood be on your head; for your mouth has given witness against you, saying, I have put to death the man marked with the holy oil.
bbe@2Samuel:1:17 @Then David made this song of grief for Saul and Jonathan, his son:
bbe@2Samuel:2:1 @Now after this, David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go up into any of the towns of Judah? And the Lord said to him, Go up. And David said, Where am I to go? And he said, To Hebron.
bbe@2Samuel:2:2 @So David went there, taking with him his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
bbe@2Samuel:2:3 @And David took all his men with him, every man with his family: and they were living in the towns round Hebron.
bbe@2Samuel:2:4 @And the men of Judah came there, and with the holy oil made David king over the people of Judah. And word came to David that it was the men of Jabesh-gilead who put Saul's body in its last resting-place.
bbe@2Samuel:2:5 @And David sent to the men of Jabesh-gilead and said to them, May the Lord give you his blessing, because you have done this kind act to Saul your lord, and have put his body to rest!
bbe@2Samuel:2:10 @(Saul's son Ish-bosheth was forty years old when he became king over Israel, and he was ruler for two years.) But Judah was on the side of David.
