1: And they toldH5046 David,H1732 saying,H0559 Look,H2009 the PhilistinesH6430 are fightingH3898 against Keilah,H7084 and theyH1992 are robbingH8154 -H0853 the threshing floors.H1637

2: Therefore inquiredH7592 DavidH1732 of Yahweh,H3068 saying,H0559 shall I goH1980 and attackH5221 Philistines?H6430 theseH0428 and saidH0559 YahwehH3068 toH0413 David,H1732 go,H1980 and attackH5221 the Philistines,H6430 and saveH3467 -H0853 Keilah.H7084

3: But saidH0559 menH0376 of DavidH1732 to himH0413 Look,H2009 weH0587 hereH6311 in Judah.H3063 Are afraidH3372 then how much moreH0637 ifH3588 we goH1980 to KeilahH7084 againstH0413 the armies ofH4634 the Philistines?H6430

4: and.H3254 Once againH5750 DavidH1732 inquiredH7592 of YahwehH3068 and answered himH6030 YahwehH3068 and said,H0559 Arise,H6965 go downH3381 to Keilah-H7084 forH3588 IH0589 will deliverH5414 -H0853 the PhilistinesH6430 into your hand.H3027

5: And wentH1980 DavidH1732 and his menH0376 to Keilah,H7084 and foughtH3898 with the Philistines,H6430 and took awayH5090 -H0853 their livestock,H4735 and struckH5221 with a blow.H4347 MightyH1419 so savedH3467 DavidH1732 -H0853 the inhabitantsH3427 of Keilah.H7084

6: And it came to pass,H1961 when fledH1272 AbiatharH0054 sonH1121 of AhimelechH0288 toH0413 DavidH1732 at Keilah,H7084 [with] an ephodH0646 [that] he went downH3381 in his hand.H3027

7: And was toldH5046 SaulH7586 thatH3588 had goneH0935 DavidH1732 to Keilah.H7084 So said,H0559 SaulH7586 has deliveredH5234 himH0853 GodH0430 into my hand-H3027 forH3588 he has shut himself in,H5462 by enteringH0935 a townH5892 that has gatesH1817 and bars.H1280

8: And called togetherH8085 SaulH7586 -H0853 allH3605 the peopleH5971 for war,H4421 to go downH3381 to Keilah,H7084 to besiegeH6696 to besiegeH0413 DavidH1732 andH0413 his men.H0376

9: And when knewH3045 DavidH1732 thatH3588 against himH5921 SaulH7586 plottedH2790 evilH7451 and he saidH0559 toH0413 AbiatharH0054 the priest,H3548 bring hereH5066 the ephod.H0646

10: And saidH0559 David,H1732 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 surelyH8085 has heardH8085 Your servantH5650 thatH3588 seeksH1245 SaulH7586 to comeH0935 toH0413 Keilah,H7084 to destroyH7843 the cityH5892 for my sake.H5668

11: Will deliver meH5462 the menH1167 of KeilahH7084 into his hand?H3027 will come down,H3381 SaulH7586 asH0834 has heard?H8085 Your servantH5650 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 tellH5046 I pray,H4994 Your servant.H5650 And said,H0559 YahwehH3068 He will come down.H3381

12: And saidH0559 David,H1732 will deliverH5462 the menH1167 of KeilahH7084 meH0853 andH0853 my menH0376 into the handH3027 of Saul?H7586 and said,H0559 YahwehH3068 they will deliver [you].H5462

13: So aroseH6965 DavidH1732 and his men,H0376 about sixH8337 hundredH3967 manH0376 and departedH3318 from KeilahH7084 and wentH1980 whereverH0834 they could go.H1980 And SaulH7586 it was toldH5046 thatH3588 had escapedH4422 DavidH1732 from KeilahH7084 so he haltedH2308 the expedition.H3318

14: And stayedH3427 DavidH1732 in the wildernessH4057 in strongholds,H4679 and remainedH3427 in the mountainsH2022 in the WildernessH4057 of Ziph.H2128 And sought himH1245 SaulH7586 everyH3605 day,H3117 but notH3808 did deliver himH5414 GodH0430 into his hand.H3027

15: So sawH7200 DavidH1732 thatH3588 had come outH3318 SaulH7586 to seekH1245 -H0853 his life-H5315 and David [was]H1732 in the WildernessH4057 of ZiphH2128 in Horesh.H2793

16: And arose,H6965 JonathanH3083 sonH1121 of SaulH7586 and wentH1980 toH0413 DavidH1732 in the woods,H2793 and strengthenedH2388 -H0853 his handH3027 in God.H0430

17: And he saidH0559 to himH0413 not-H0408 do fearH3372 forH3588 notH3808 shall find youH4672 the handH3027 of SaulH7586 my fatherH0001 and YouH0859 shall be kingH4427 overH5921 Israel,H3478 and IH0595 shall beH1961 nextH4932 and EvenH1571 SaulH7586 my fatherH0001 knowsH3045 that.H3651

18: So madeH3772 the two of themH8147 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 Yahweh-H3068 and stayedH3427 DavidH1732 in the woods,H2793 and JonathanH3083 wentH1980 to his own house.H1004

19: And came upH5927 the ZiphitesH2130 toH0413 SaulH7586 at Gibeah,H1390 saying,H0559 is notH3808 DavidH1732 hidingH5641 with usH5973 in strongholdsH4679 in the woods,H2793 in the hillH1389 of Hachilah,H2444 which [is]H0834 on the southH3225 of Jeshimon?H3452

20: therefore nowH6258 according to allH3605 the desireH0185 of your soulH5315 king,H4428 to come downH3381 come down-H3381 to deliver himH5462 into handH3027 of the king.H4428

21: And said,H0559 SaulH7586 Blessed [are]H1288 youH0859 of Yahweh-H3068 forH3588 you have compassionH2550 on me.H5921

22: Go,H1980 please,H4994 find outH3559 yet,H5750 for sureH3045 and seeH7200 -H0853 the placeH4725 whereH0834 is,H1961 his hideoutH7272 [and] whoH4310 has seen himH7200 there-H8033 forH3588 I am toldH0559 untoH0413 veryH6191 is craftyH6196 he.H1931

23: Therefore SeeH7200 and take knowledgeH3045 of allH3605 the lurking placesH4224 whereH0834 he hides,H2244 in itH8033 and come backH7725 to meH0413 withH0413 certainty,H3559 and I will goH1980 with youH0854 and it shall be,H1961 ifH0518 he isH3426 in the land,H0776 that I will search forH2664 himH0853 throughout allH3605 the clansH0505 of Judah.H3063

24: So they arose,H6965 and wentH1980 to ZiphH2128 beforeH6440 Saul.H7586 But DavidH1732 and his men [were]H0376 in the WildernessH4057 of Maon,H4584 in the plainH6160 onH0413 the southH3225 of Jeshimon.H3452

25: And when wentH1980 SaulH7586 and his menH0376 to seek [him]H1245 and they toldH5046 David,H1732 therefore he went downH3381 to the rock,H5553 and stayedH3427 in the WildernessH4057 of Maon.H4584 And when heard [that]H8085 SaulH7586 and he pursuedH7291 afterH0310 DavidH1732 in the WildernessH4057 of Maon.H4584

26: And wentH1980 SaulH7586 on one sideH6654 of mountain,H2022 thisH2088 and DavidH1732 and his menH0376 on the sideH6654 of the mountain-H2022 from this [one]H2088 so madeH1961 DavidH1732 hasteH2648 to get awayH1980 fromH6440 Saul-H7586 for SaulH7586 and his menH0376 were encirclingH5849 untoH0413 DavidH1732 andH0413 his menH0376 to take them.H8610

27: But a messengerH4397 cameH0935 toH0413 Saul,H7586 saying,H0559 HastenH4116 and come-H1980 forH3588 have invadedH6584 the PhilistinesH6430 onH5921 the land.H0776

28: Therefore returnedH7725 SaulH7586 from pursuingH7291 afterH0310 David,H1732 and wentH1980 againstH7122 the Philistines-H6430 soH5921 thusH3651 they calledH7121 placeH4725 thatH1931 the Rock of Escape.H5555

29: And went upH5927 DavidH1732 from there,H8033 and dweltH3427 in strongholdsH4679 En Gedi.H5872
