mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of

even unto the great stone of

whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Beth-
shemite.

Gilgal, and all the people followed him
trembling.
Some Hebrews
even crossed the Jordan into the land of
Gad and
Gilead. Saul, however, remained at
Gilgal, and all his troops were
quaking in fear.
And there was
trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also
trembled, and the earth
quaked: so it was a very great
trembling.
Then terror struck the Philistines in the camp, in the field, and among all the people.
Even those in the outposts and
raiding parties
trembled. Indeed, the earth
quaked and
panic spread from God.

even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and
Jonathan.
And the Hebrews who had previously gone up into the surrounding camps of the Philistines now went over to the Israelites who were with Saul and
Jonathan.
Likewise all the men of Israel which had
hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled,
even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
When all the Israelites who had been hiding in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines were
fleeing, they also joined Saul and
Jonathan in the battle.

evening, that I may be
avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.

Philistine.

shepherd’s
bag. And with his
sling in hand, he approached the
Philistine.
And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and
shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of
Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim,
even unto
Gath, and unto
Ekron.
Then the men of Israel and Judah charged forward with a
shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of
Gath and to the gates of
Ekron. And the bodies of the Philistines were
strewn along the Shaaraim road to
Gath and
Ekron.
And
Jonathan stripped himself of the
robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments,

tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.
And Saul cast the
javelin; for he said, I will
smite David
even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice.
and he
hurled it, thinking, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David
eluded him twice.
And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David’s enemy continually.
he grew even more afraid of David. So from then on Saul was David’s enemy.
And Saul sought to
smite David
even to the wall with the
javelin; but he
slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he
smote the
javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his
spear. But the
spear struck the wall and David
eluded him, ran away, and escaped that night.
And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they
prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they
prophesied also.

prophesy as well. So Saul tried again and sent messengers a third time, and
even they began to
prophesy.
And he went thither to Naioth in
Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and
prophesied, until he came to Naioth in
Ramah.

Ramah. But the Spirit of God came upon
even Saul, and he walked along
prophesying until he came to Naioth in
Ramah.
Then
Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you desire, I will do for you.”
And David said unto
Jonathan, Behold, to
morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at
even.
So David told him, “Look,
tomorrow is the New Moon, and I am supposed to
dine with the king. Instead, let me go and hide in the field until the third
evening from now.
But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
and do not ever cut off your loving devotion from my household—not even when the LORD cuts off every one of David’s enemies from the face of the earth.”
So
Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD
even require it at the hand of David’s enemies.
So
Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “May the LORD hold David’s enemies accountable.”
And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times,
even upon a seat by the wall: and
Jonathan arose, and
Abner sat by Saul’s side, and David’s place was empty.
He sat in his usual place by the wall, opposite
Jonathan and beside
Abner, but David’s place was empty.
And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common,
yea, though it were
sanctified this day in the vessel.
David answered, “Women have indeed been kept from us, as is usual when I set out. And the
equipment of the young men is holy, as it is
even on common missions, and all the more at this time.”
And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.
saying, “Do not be afraid, for my father Saul will never lay a hand on you. And you will be king over Israel, and I will be your second-in-command. Even my father Saul knows this is true.”
And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made
haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them.
Saul was proceeding along one side of the mountain, and David and his men along the other side.
Even though David was
hurrying to get away, Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men to capture them.
Moreover, my father, see,
yea, see the
skirt of thy
robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the
skirt of thy
robe and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor
transgression in mine hand, and I have not
sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.
See, my father, look at the corner of your
robe in my hand. For I cut it off, but I did not kill you. See and know that there is no evil or rebellion in my hands. I have not
sinned against you,
even though you are hunting me down to take my life.
Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of
Belial,
even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine
handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou
didst send.
My lord should pay no attention to this
scoundrel Nabal, for he lives up to his name: His name means
Fool, and folly accompanies him. I, your servant, did not see my lord’s young men whom you sent.
And now this blessing which thine
handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it
even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.
Now let this gift your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow you.
But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
In the morning when Nabal was
sober, his wife told him about these
events, and his heart failed within him and he became like a stone.
Then said
Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me
smite him, I pray thee, with the
spear even to the earth at once, and I will not
smite him the second time.
Abishai said to David, “
Today God has delivered your enemy into your hand. Now, therefore, please let me thrust the
spear through him into the ground with one stroke. I will not need to strike him twice!”
And David dwelt with Achish at
Gath, he and his men, every man with his household,
even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and
Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife.
David and his men settled in
Gath with Achish. Each man had his family with him, and David had his two wives: Ahinoam of
Jezreel and
Abigail of
Carmel, the widow of Nabal.
And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the
Amalekites: for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur,
even unto the land of Egypt.
Now David and his men went up and
raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the
Amalekites. (From ancient times these people had inhabited the land extending to Shur and Egypt.)
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had
lamented him, and buried him in
Ramah,
even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.

mourned for him and buried him in
Ramah, his own city. And Saul had removed the mediums and spiritists from the land.
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.
Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day?
Then the commanders of the Philistines asked, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish replied, “Is this not David, the servant of King Saul of Israel? He has been with me all these days,
even years, and from the day he defected until
today I have found no fault in him.”
And David
smote them from the
twilight even unto the
evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which
rode upon camels, and fled.
And David struck them down from
twilight until the
evening of the next day. Not a man escaped, except four hundred young men who fled, riding off on camels.
And when David came to
Ziklag, he sent of the
