| 1 | The Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doesn`t David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert? | Jsh 15:24 Jsh 15:55 |
| 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. | 1Sa 23:23-25 1Sa 24:17 Ps 38:12 Ps 140:4-9 |
| 3 | 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. | 1Sa 26:1 1Sa 23:19 |
| 4 | David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come of a certainty. | Jsh 2:1 Mt 10:16 |
| 5 | David arose, and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David saw 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. | 1Sa 9:1 1Sa 14:50 1Sa 14:51 1Sa 17:55 2Sa 2:8-12 2Sa 3:7 2Sa 3:8 2Sa 3:27 2Sa 3:33-38 1Ch 9:39 |
| 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? Abishai said, I will go down with you. | Gn 10:15 Gn 15:20 2Sa 11:6 2Sa 11:21 2Sa 11:24 2Sa 12:9 2Sa 23:39 |
| 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. | 1Th 5:2 1Th 5:3 |
| 8 | Then said Abishai to David, God has delivered up your enemy into your hand this day: now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time. | 1Sa 26:23 1Sa 23:14 1Sa 24:4 1Sa 24:18 1Sa 24:19 Jsh 21:44 Jg 1:4 |
| 9 | David said to Abishai, Don`t destroy him; for who can put forth his hand against Yahweh`s anointed, and be guiltless? | 1Sa 24:6 1Sa 24:7 2Sa 1:14 2Sa 1:16 Ps 105:15 |
| 10 | David said, As Yahweh lives, Yahweh will strike him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish. | 1Sa 24:15 1Sa 25:26 1Sa 25:38 Ps 94:1 Ps 94:2 Ps 94:23 Lk 18:7 Ro 12:19 Rev 18:8 |
| 11 | Yahweh forbid that I should put forth my hand against Yahweh`s anointed: but now please take the spear that is at his head, and the jar of water, and let us go. | 1Sa 24:6 1Sa 24:12 2Sa 1:14 2Sa 1:16 |
| 12 | So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul`s head; and they got them away: and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Yahweh was fallen on them. | 1Sa 26:7 1Sa 24:4 |
| 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; | 1Sa 24:8 Jg 9:7 |
| 14 | and David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Don`t you answer, Abner? Then Abner answered, Who are you who cries to the king? |
| 15 | David said to Abner, Aren`t you a [valiant] man? and who is like you in Israel? why then have you not kept watch over your lord, the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king your lord. |
| 16 | This thing isn`t good that you have done. As Yahweh lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, Yahweh`s anointed. Now see where the king`s spear is, and the jar of water that was at his head. | 1Sa 20:31 2Sa 12:5 2Sa 19:28 Ps 79:11 Ps 102:20 Eph 2:3 |
| 17 | Saul knew David`s voice, and said, Is this your voice, my son David? David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king. | 1Sa 24:8 1Sa 24:16 |
| 18 | He said, Why does my lord pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in my hand? | 1Sa 24:9 1Sa 24:11-14 Ps 7:3-5 Ps 35:7 Ps 69:4 |
| 19 | Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it be Yahweh that has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering: but if it be the children of men, cursed be they before Yahweh: for they have driven me out this day that I shouldn`t cling to Yahweh`s inheritance, saying, Go, serve other gods. | 1Sa 25:24 Gn 44:18 |
| 20 | Now therefore, don`t let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Yahweh: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one does hunt a partridge in the mountains. | 1Sa 2:9 1Sa 25:29 |
| 21 | Then said Saul, I have sinned: 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. | 1Sa 15:24 1Sa 15:30 1Sa 24:17 Ex 9:27 Nm 22:34 Mt 27:4 |
| 22 | David answered, Behold the spear, O king! let then one of the young men come over and get it. |
| 23 | Yahweh will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; because Yahweh delivered you into my hand today, and I wouldn`t put forth my hand against Yahweh`s anointed. | 1Ki 8:32 Ne 13:14 Ps 7:8 Ps 7:9 Ps 18:20-26 |
| 24 | Behold, as your life was much set by this day in my eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of Yahweh, and let him deliver me out of all oppression. | Ps 18:25 Mt 5:7 Mt 7:2 |
| 25 | Then Saul said to David, Blessed be you, my son David: you shall both do mightily, and shall surely prevail. So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place. | 1Sa 24:19 Nm 24:9 Nm 24:10 |
