One day
Jonathan son of Saul said to the young man bearing his

Philistine outpost on the other side.” But
Jonathan did not tell his father.

armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these
uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.

armor, “Come, let us cross over to the outpost of these
uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will work on our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few.”

shew you a thing. And

armor-bearer, “Come on up, and we will teach you a
lesson!” “Follow me,”

instructed him. He reached the camp as the
army was marching out to its position and
shouting the battle cry.

array,
army against
army.

And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the
champion, the
Philistine of
Gath,
Goliath by name, out of the
armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them.
And as he was speaking with them, suddenly the
champion named
Goliath, the
Philistine from
Gath, came forward from the Philistines and
shouted his usual words, which David also heard.
And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this
Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this
uncircumcised Philistine, that he should
defy the
armies of the living God?
David asked the men who were standing with him, “What will be done for the man who kills this
Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Just who is this
uncircumcised Philistine, that he should
defy the
armies of the living God?”
Your servant has killed lions and bears; this
uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, for he has
defied the
armies of the living God.”
And Saul
armed David with his
armour, and he put an
helmet of brass upon his head; also he
armed him with a coat of
mail.
Then Saul clothed David in his own
tunic, put a bronze
helmet on his head, and dressed him in
armor.
And David
girded his sword upon his
armour, and he
assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
David
strapped his sword over the
tunic and tried to walk, but he was not accustomed to them. “I cannot walk in these,” David said to Saul. “I am not accustomed to them.” So David took them off.
Then said David to the
Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a
spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the
armies of Israel, whom thou hast
defied.
But David said to the
Philistine, “You come against me with sword and
spear and
javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the
armies of Israel, whom you have
defied.
And it came to pass, when the
Philistine arose, and came and drew
nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the
army to meet the
Philistine.
As the
Philistine started forward to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.
And David took the head of the
Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his
armour in his tent.
David took the head of the
Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, and he put
Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
And when Saul saw David go forth against the
Philistine, he said unto
Abner, the captain of the host,
Abner, whose son is this youth? And
Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.
As Saul had watched David going out to
confront the
Philistine, he said to
Abner the commander of the
army, “
Abner, whose son is this young man?” “As surely as you live, O king,”
Abner replied, “I do not know.”
And David’s men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?
But David’s men said to him, “Look, we are afraid here in Judah; how much more if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David
beheld the place where Saul lay, and
Abner the son of
Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the
trench, and the people pitched round about him.
Then David set out and went to the place where Saul had camped. He saw the place where Saul and
Abner son of
Ner, the general of his
army, had
lain down. Saul was lying inside the inner circle of the camp, with the troops camped around him.
And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their
armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou
assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men.
Now in those days the Philistines gathered their forces for warfare against Israel. So Achish said to David, “You must understand that you and your men are to go out to battle with me.”
And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly
trembled.
Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to
morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
Moreover, the LORD will deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines, and
tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. And the LORD will deliver the
army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.”
Now the Philistines gathered together all their
armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in
Jezreel.
Now the Philistines brought all their forces together at Aphek, while Israel camped by the spring in
Jezreel.
Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour thee not.
So Achish summoned David and told him, “As surely as the LORD lives, you have been upright in my sight, and it seems right that you should march in and out with me in the army, because I have found no fault in you from the day you came to me until this day. But you have no favor in the sight of the leaders.
Then said Saul unto his
armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through
therewith; lest these
uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and
abuse me. But his
armourbearer would not; for he was
sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
Then Saul said to his
armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run it through me, or these
uncircumcised men will come and run me through and
torture me!” But his
armor-bearer was
terrified and refused to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
When his
armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his own sword and died with him.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.
So Saul, his three sons, his
armor-bearer, and all his men died together that same day.
And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they
forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
When the Israelites along the valley and those on the other side of the Jordan saw that the army of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their cities and ran away. So the Philistines came and occupied their cities.
And they cut off his head, and
stripped off his
armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to
publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
They cut off Saul’s head,
stripped off his
armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to
proclaim the news in the temples of their idols and among their people.
And they put his
armour in the house of
Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
They put his
armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths and hung his body on the wall of Beth-shan.
So I stood upon him, and
slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the
bracelet that was on his
arm, and have brought them
hither unto my lord.
So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not
survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his
arm, and I have brought them here to my lord.”
But
Abner the son of
Ner, captain of Saul’s host, took
Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to

Ner, the commander of Saul’s
army, took Saul’s son
Ish-bosheth, moved him to
Mahanaim,
And
Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his
armour. But
Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.

Joab and the entire
army of mighty men.

And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David
slew the men of seven hundred
chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand
horsemen, and
smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.

Joab and his servants with the whole
army of Israel. They destroyed the

But the poor man had nothing, save one little
ewe lamb, which he had bought and
nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and
drank of his own cup, and lay in his
bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.

slept in his
arms and was like a daughter to him.

bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.

Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of
Joab.
And say to
Amasa, ‘Aren’t you my flesh and blood? May God
punish me, and ever so severely, if from this time you are not the commander of my
army in place of
Joab!’”

For by thee I have run through a
troop: by my God have I
leaped over a wall.
For in You I can charge an army; with my God I can scale a wall.
He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
For thou hast
girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.
But the man that shall touch them must be
fenced with iron and the staff of a
spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.
The man who touches them must be
armed with iron or with the shaft of a
spear. The fire burns them to ashes in the place where they lie.”
Zelek the
Ammonite, Nahari the Beerothite,
armourbearer to
Joab the son of Zeruiah,
For the king said to
Joab the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from
Dan even to Beer-
sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.
So the king said to
Joab the commander of his
army, who was with him, “Go now throughout the tribes of Israel from
Dan to
Beersheba and register the troops, so that I may know their number.”

Joab, and against the captains of the host. And
Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against
Joab and against the commanders of the
army. So
Joab and the commanders of the
army departed from the presence of the king to count the troops of Israel.
And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and
Abiathar the priest, and
Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.

fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the other sons of the king, as well as
Abiathar the priest and
Joab the commander of the
army. But he did not
invite your servant Solomon.
For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king’s sons, and the captains of the host, and
Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.
For
today he has gone down and sacrificed an abundance of oxen,
fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the sons of the king, the commanders of the
army, and
Abiathar the priest. And behold, they are eating and drinking before him, saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’
Moreover thou knowest also what
Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto
Abner the son of
Ner, and unto
Amasa the son of Jether, whom he
slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his
girdle that was about his loins, and in his
shoes that were on his feet.
Moreover, you know what
Joab son of Zeruiah did to me—what he did to
Abner son of
Ner and
Amasa son of Jether, the two commanders of the
armies of Israel. He killed them in peacetime to
avenge the blood of war. He
stained with the blood of war the belt around his
waist and the
sandals on his feet.
And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and
slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit,
Abner the son of
Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and
Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
The LORD will bring his
bloodshed back upon his own head, for without the knowledge of my father David he struck down two men more righteous and better than he when he put to the sword
Abner son of
Ner, commander of Israel’s
army, and
Amasa son of Jether, commander of Judah’s
army.
And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and
Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of
Abiathar.
And the king appointed Benaiah son of Jehoiada in
Joab’s place over the
army, and he appointed
Zadok the priest in
Abiathar’s place.
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host: and
Zadok and
Abiathar were the priests:
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was in charge of the
army;
Zadok and
Abiathar were priests;
