And it came to pass when Saul returned from pursuing after the Philistines, that it was reported to him, saying, David [is] in the wilderness of Engaddi. |
|
24:1 ¶
And it came to pass,°
when°
Saul°
was returned°°
from following°°
the Philistines,°
that it was told°°
him, saying,°°
Behold,°
David°
[is] in the wilderness°
of Engedi.° |
|
24:2
And he took with him three thousand men, chosen out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men in front of Saddaeem. |
|
24:2
Then Saul°
took°°
three°
thousand°
chosen°°
men°
out of all°°
Israel,°
and went°°°
to seek°°°
David°
and his men°°
upon°°
the rocks°
of the wild goats.° |
|
24:3
And he came to the flocks of sheep that were by the way, and there was a cave there; and Saul went in to make preparation, and David and his men were sitting in the inner part of the cave. |
|
24:3
And he came°°
to°
the sheepcotes°°
by°
the way,°
where°
[was] a cave;°
and Saul°
went in°°
to cover°°°
his feet:°
and David°
and his men°°
remained°°
in the sides°
of the cave.° |
|
24:4
And the men of David said to him, Behold, this [is] the day of which the Lord spoke to thee, that he would deliver thine enemy into thy hands; and thou shalt do to him as [it is] good in thy sight. So David arose and cut off the skirt of Saul's garment secretly. |
|
24:4
And the men°°
of David°
said°°
unto°
him, Behold°
the day°
of which°
Yahweh°
said°°
unto°
thee, Behold,°
I°
will deliver°°°
thine enemy°°
into thine hand,°
that thou mayest do°°
to him as°
it shall seem good°°°
unto thee.°
Then David°
arose,°°
and cut off°°°
the skirt°
of Saul's°
robe°
privily.° |
|
24:5
And it came to pass after this that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off the skirt of his garment. |
|
24:5
And it came to pass°
afterward,°°
that David's°
heart°
smote°°
him, because°°
he had cut off°°°
Saul's°
skirt.° |
|
24:6
And David said to his men, The Lord forbid it me, that I should do this ting to my lord the anointed of the Lord, to lift my hand against him; for he is the anointed of the Lord. |
|
24:6
And he said°°
unto his men,°°
Yahweh°°
forbid°
that°
I should do°°°
this°
thing°
unto my adon,°
Yahweh's°
anointed,°
to stretch forth°°
mine hand°
against him, seeing°
he°
[is] the anointed°
of Yahweh.° |
|
24:7
So David persuaded his men by [his] words, and did not suffer them to arise and slay Saul: and Saul arose and went his way. |
|
24:7
So David°
stayed°°°
his servants°°
with these words,°
and suffered°°
them not°
to rise°°
against°
Saul.°
But Saul°
rose up°°
out of the cave,°°
and went°°°
on [his] way.° |
|
24:8
And David rose up [and went] after him out of the cave: and David cried after Saul, saying, [My] lord, [O] king! and Saul looked behind him, and David bowed with his face to the ground, and did obeisance to him. |
|
24:8
David°
also arose°°
afterward,°°
and went out°°
of°
the cave,°
and cried°°
after°
Saul,°
saying,°°
My adon°
the king.°
And when Saul°
looked°°
behind°
him, David°
stooped°°
with his face°
to the earth,°
and bowed°°
himself.° |
|
24:9 ¶
And David said to Saul, Why dost thou hearken to the words of the people, saying, Behold, David seeks thy life? |
|
24:9 ¶
And David°
said°°
to Saul,°
Wherefore°
hearest°°
thou°
men's°
words,°
saying,°°
Behold,°
David°
seeketh°°
thy hurt?° |
|
24:10
Behold, thine eyes have seen this day how that the Lord has delivered thee this day into my hands in the cave; and I would not slay thee, but spared thee, and said, I will not lift up my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord's anointed. |
|
24:10
Behold,°
this°
day°
thine eyes°
have seen°°°
how°
that Yahweh°
had delivered°°
thee to day°
into mine hand°
in the cave:°
and [some] bade°°
[me] kill°°
thee: but [mine eye] spared°°°
thee; and I said,°°
I will not°
put forth°°
mine hand°
against my adon;°
for°
he°
[is] Yahweh's°
anointed.° |
|
24:11
And behold, the skirt of thy mantle [is] in my hand, I cut off the skirt, and did not slay thee: know then and see to-day, there is no evil in my hand, nor impiety, nor rebellion; and I have not sinned against thee, yet thou layest snares for my soul to take it. |
|
24:11
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. |
|
24:12
The Lord judge between me and thee, and the Lord requite thee on thyself: but my hand shall not be upon thee. |
|
24:12
Yahweh°
judge°°
between°
me and thee, and Yahweh°
avenge°°
me of°
thee: but mine hand°
shall not°
be°
upon thee. |
|
24:13
As the old proverb says, Transgression will proceed from the wicked ones: but my hand shall not be upon thee. |
|
24:13
As°
saith°°
the proverb°
of the ancients,°
Wickedness°
proceedeth°°
from the wicked:°°
but mine hand°
shall not°
be°
upon thee. |
|
24:14
And now after whom dost thou come forth, O king of Israel? After whom dost thou pursue? After a dead dog, and after a flea? |
|
24:14
After°
whom°
is the king°
of Israel°
come out?°°
after°
whom°
dost thou°
pursue?°°
after°
a dead°°
dog,°
after°
a°
flea.° |
|
24:15
The Lord be judge and umpire between me and thee, the Lord look upon and judge my cause, and rescue me out of thy hand. |
|
24:15
Yahweh°
therefore be°
judge,°
and judge°°
between°
me and thee, and see,°°
and plead°°°
my cause,°
and deliver°°
me out of thine hand.°° |
|
24:16 ¶

when David°
had made an end°°
of speaking°°°
these°
words°
unto°
Saul,°
that Saul°
said,°°
[Is] this°
thy voice,°
my son°
David?°
And Saul°
lifted up°°
his voice,°
and wept.°° |
|
24:17
And Saul said to David, Thou [art] more righteous that I, for thou hast recompensed me good, but I have recompensed thee evil. |
|
24:17
And he said°°
to°
David,°
Thou°
[art] more righteous°
than°
I: for°
thou°
hast rewarded°°
me good,°
whereas I°
have rewarded°°
thee evil.° |
|
24:18
And thou hast told me to-day what good thou hast done me, how the Lord shut me up into thy hands to-day, and thou didst not slay me. |
|
24:18
And thou°
hast shewed°°
this day°°
how that°
thou hast dealt°°
well°
with°
me:°
forasmuch as when°
Yahweh°
had delivered°°
me into thine hand,°
thou killedst°°
me not.° |
|
24:19
And if any one should find his enemy in distress, and should send him forth in a good way, then the Lord will reward him good, as thou has done this day. |

a man°
find°°°
his enemy,°°
will he let him go°°
well°
away?°
wherefore Yahweh°
reward°°
thee good°
for°
that°
thou hast done°°
unto me this°
day.° |
|
24:20
And now, behold, I know that thou shalt surely reign, and the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thy hand. |
|
24:20
And now,°
behold,°
I know well°°
that°
thou shalt surely°°
be king,°°
and that the kingdom°
of Israel°
shall be established°°
in thine hand.° |
|
24:21
Now then swear to me by the Lord, that thou wilt not destroy my seed after me, that thou wilt not blot out my name from the house of my father. |
|
24:21
Swear°°
now°
therefore unto me by Yahweh,°
that°
thou wilt not°
cut off°°°
my seed°
after°
me, and that°
thou wilt not destroy°°°
my name°
out of my father's°
house.°°° |

home;°
