Samson and pay him back for what he has
done to us.”

handmaid, and for the young man which is with thy servants: there is no want of any thing.

nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not
heretofore.

done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that
smote us; it was a chance that happened to us.

disaster. But if it does not, then we will know that it was not His hand that punished us and that it happened by chance.”

anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose
ass have I taken? or whom have I
defrauded? whom have I
oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any
bribe to blind mine eyes
therewith? and I will restore it you.
Here I am. Bear witness against me before the LORD and before His
anointed: Whose ox or
donkey have I taken? Whom have I
cheated or
oppressed? From whose hand have I accepted a
bribe and closed my eyes? Tell me, and I will restore it to you.”

smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and
spare them not; but
slay both man and woman, infant and
suckling, ox and sheep,

devote to destruction all that belongs to them. Do not
spare them, but put to death men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and
donkeys.’”

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

done?
“Why must he be put to death?”
Jonathan replied. “What has he
done?”
So
Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was
grieved for David, because his father had
done him shame.

done for me this day.
Then

haste, and took two hundred
loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of

This thing is not good that thou hast
done. As the LORD liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD’S
anointed. And now see where the king’s
spear is, and the
cruse of water that was at his
bolster.
This thing you have
done is not good. As surely as the LORD lives, all of you deserve to die, since you did not protect your lord, the LORD’s
anointed. Now look around. Where are the king’s
spear and water
jug that were by his head?”
And he said, Wherefore
doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I
done? or what evil is in mine hand?

Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have
stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men,
cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from
abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.
Now please, may my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the LORD has
stirred you up against me, then may He accept an offering. But if men have
done it, may they be
cursed in the presence of the LORD! For
today they have driven me away from sharing in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’

And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath
done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a
snare for my life, to cause me to die?
But the woman replied, “Surely you know what Saul has
done, how he has killed the mediums and spiritists in the land. Why have you set a
trap to get me killed?”
And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David:
He has
done exactly what He spoke through me: The LORD has
torn the
kingship out of your hand and given it to your
neighbor David.
Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day.
Because you did not obey the LORD or carry out His burning anger against Amalek, the LORD has
done this to you
today.
And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee unto this day, that I may not go fight against the enemies of my lord the king?
“But what have I
done?” David replied. “What have you found against your servant, from the day I came to you until
today, to keep me from going along to fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
And when the inhabitants of
Jabesh-
gilead heard of that which the Philistines had
done to Saul;

gilead heard what the Philistines had
done to Saul,

shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have
done this thing.
Now may the LORD show you loving devotion and faithfulness, and I will also show you the same favor because you have done this.
Then
Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou
done? behold,
Abner came unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone?

Joab went to the king and said, “What have you
done? Look,
Abner came to you. Why did you dismiss him? Now he is getting away!
And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
and have done since the day I appointed judges over My people Israel. I will give you rest from all your enemies. The LORD declares to you that He Himself will establish a house for you.
For thy word’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.
For the sake of Your word and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed it to Your servant.

fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no
pity.

done this thing and has shown no
pity, he must pay for the lamb four times over.”

done? thou
didst fast and
weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou
didst rise and eat bread.
“What is this you have
done?” his servants asked. “While the child was alive, you fasted and
wept, but when he died, you got up and
ate.”
And she answered him,
Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be
done in Israel: do not thou this folly.
“No, my brother!” she
cried. “Do not
humiliate me, for such a thing should never be
done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing!
And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou
didst unto me. But he would not
hearken unto her.
“No,” she replied, “sending me away is worse than this great wrong you have already
done to me!” But he refused to
listen to her.
To
fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant
Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.

done this to bring about this change of affairs, but my lord has wisdom like the wisdom of the angel of God, to know everything that happens in the land.”

Absalom.”

saddled donkeys loaded with two hundred
loaves of bread, a hundred clusters of
raisins, a hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.
And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The
asses be for the king’s household to
ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be
faint in the wilderness may drink.

donkeys are for the king’s household to
ride, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is to refresh those who become exhausted in the wilderness.”

Curse David,’ who can ask, ‘Why did you do this?’”

deceived me: for thy servant said, I will
saddle me an
ass, that I may
ride thereon, and go to the king; because thy servant is
lame.
“My lord the king,” he replied, “because I am
lame, I said, ‘I will have my
