Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV

 26:1 ¶ And the Ziphites come out of the dry country to Saul to the hill, saying, Behold, David hides himself with us in the hill Echela, opposite Jessemon.

 26:1 ¶ And the Ziphites° came°° unto° Saul° to Gibeah,° saying,°° Doth not° David° hide°° himself° in the hill° of Hachilah,° [which is] before°° Jeshimon?°

 26:2 And Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, and with him [went] three thousand men chosen out of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

 26:2 Then Saul° arose,°° and went down°° to° the wilderness° of Ziph,° having three° thousand° chosen°° men° of Israel° with° him, to seek°°° David° in the wilderness° of Ziph.°

 26:3 And Saul encamped in the hill of Echela in front of Jessemon, by the way, and David dwelt in the wilderness: and David saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.

 26:3 And Saul° pitched°° in the hill° of Hachilah,° which° [is] before°° Jeshimon,° by° the way.° But David° abode°° in the wilderness,° and he saw°° that° Saul° came°° after° him into the wilderness.°

 26:4 And David sent spies, and ascertained that Saul was come prepared out of Keilah{gr.Keila}.

 26:4 David° therefore sent out°° spies,°° and understood°° that° Saul° was come°° in°° very deed.°°

 26:5 ¶ And David arose secretly, and goes into the place where Saul was sleeping, and there [was] Abner{gr.Abenner} the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul was sleeping in a chariot, and the people had encamped along round about him.

 26:5 ¶ 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.

 26:6 And David answered and spoke to Abimelech the Hittite{gr.Chettite}, and to Abishai{gr.Abessa} the son Zeruiah{gr.Saruia} the brother of Joab, saying, Who will go in with me to Saul into the camp? And Abishai{gr.Abessa} said, I will go in with thee.

 26:6 Then answered°° David° and said°° to° Ahimelech° the Hittite,° and to° Abishai° the son° of Zeruiah,° brother° to Joab,° saying,°° Who° will go down°° with° me to° Saul° to° the camp?° And Abishai° said,°° I° will go down°° with° thee.

 26:7 So David and Abishai{gr.Abessa} go in among the people by night: and behold, Saul was fast asleep in the chariot, and his spear was stuck in the ground near his head, and Abner{gr.Abenner} and his people slept round about him.

 26:7 So David° and Abishai° came°° to° the people° by night:° and, behold,° Saul° lay°° sleeping° within the trench,° and his spear° stuck°° in the ground° at his bolster:° but Abner° and the people° lay°° round about° him.

 26:8 And Abishai{gr.Abessa} said to David, The Lord has this day shut up thine enemy into thine hands, and now I will smite him to the earth with the spear to the ground once [for all], and I will not smite him again.

 26:8 Then said°° Abishai° to° David,° Elohim° 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.°°

 26:9 And David said to Abishai{gr.Abessa}, Do not lay him low, for who shall lift up his hand against the anointed of the Lord, and be guiltless?

 26:9 And David° said°° to° Abishai,° Destroy°° him not:° for° who° can stretch forth°° his hand° against Yahweh's° anointed,° and be guiltless?°°

 26:10 And David said, [As] the Lord lives, if the Lord smite him not, or his day come and he die, or he go down to battle and be added [to his fathers, do not so].

 26:10 David° said°° furthermore,°° [As] Yahweh° liveth,° Yahweh° shall smite°° him; or° his day° shall come°° to die;°° or° he shall descend°° into battle,° and perish.°°

 26:11 The Lord forbid it me that I should lift up my hand against the anointed of the Lord: and now take, I pray thee, the spear from his bolster, and the pitcher of water, and let us return home.

 26:11 Yahweh°° forbid° that I should stretch forth°°° mine hand° against Yahweh's° anointed:° but, I pray thee,° take°° thou now°° the spear° that° [is] at his bolster,° and the cruse° of water,° and let us go.°°°

 26:12 So David took the spear, and the pitcher of water from his bolster, and they went home: and there was no one that saw, and no one that knew, and there was no one that awoke, all being asleep, for a stupor from the Lord had fallen upon them.

 26:12 So David° took°°° the spear° and the cruse° of water° from Saul's° bolster;°° and they gat them away,°°° and no° man saw°° [it], nor° knew°° [it], neither° awaked:°° for° they [were] all° asleep;° because° a deep sleep° from Yahweh° was fallen°° upon° them.

 26:13 ¶ So David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of a hill afar off, and [there was] a good distance between them.

 26:13 ¶ Then David° went over°° to the other side,° and stood°° on° the top° of an hill° afar off;°° a great° space° [being] between° them:

 26:14 And David called to the people, and spoke to Abner{gr.Abenner}, saying, Wilt thou not answer, Abner{gr.Abenner}? and Abner{gr.Abenner} answered and said, Who art thou that callest?

 26:14 And David° cried°° to° the people,° and to° Abner° the son° of Ner,° saying,°° Answerest°° thou not,° Abner?° Then Abner° answered°° and said,°° Who° [art] thou° [that] criest°° to° the king?°

 26:15 And David said to Abner{gr.Abenner}, [Art] not thou a man? and who [is] like thee in Israel? Why then dost thou not guard thy lord the king? for one out of the people went in to destroy thy lord the king.

 26:15 And David° said°° to° Abner,° [Art] not° thou° a [valiant] man?° and who° [is] like to thee° in Israel?° wherefore° then hast thou not° kept°°° thy adon° the king?° for° there came°° one° of the people° in to destroy°°° the king° thy adon.°

 26:16 And this thing [is] not good which thou hast done. [As] the Lord lives, ye are worthy of death, ye who guard your lord the king, the anointed of the Lord: and now behold, I pray you, the spear of the king, and the cruse of water: where are the articles that should be at his head?

 26:16 This° thing° [is] not° good° that° thou hast done.°° [As] Yahweh° liveth,° ye° [are] worthy° to die,° because° ye have not° kept°°° your adon,° Yahweh's° anointed.° And now° see°° where° the king's° spear° [is], and the cruse° of water° that° [was] at his bolster.°

 26:17 And Saul recognized the voice of David, and said, [Is] this thy voice, son David? and David said, I [am] thy servant, [my] lord, O king.

 26:17 And Saul° knew°°° David's° voice,° and said,°° [Is] this° thy voice,° my son° David?° And David° said,°° [It is] my voice,° my adon,° O king.°

 26:18 And he said, Why does my lord thus pursue after his servant? for in what have I sinned? and what unrighteousness has been found in me?

 26:18 And he said,°° Wherefore° doth my adon° thus° pursue°° after° his servant?° for° what° have I done?°° or what° evil° [is] in mine hand?°

 26:19 And now let my lord the king hear the word of his servant. If God stirs thee up against me, let thine offering be acceptable: but if the sons of men, they [are] cursed before the Lord, for they have cast me out this day so that I should not be established in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other Gods.

 26:19 Now° therefore, I pray thee,° let my adon° the king° hear°°° the words° of his servant.° If° Yahweh° have stirred thee up°° against me, let him accept°° an offering:° but if° [they be] the children° of men,° cursed°° [be] they° before° Yahweh;° for° they have driven°° me out° this day° from abiding°°° in the inheritance° of Yahweh,° saying,°° Go,°°° serve°° other° elohim.°

 26:20 And now let not my blood fall to the ground before the Lord, for the king of Israel has come forth to seek thy life, as the night hawk pursues [its prey] in the mountains.

 26:20 Now° therefore, let not° my blood° fall°° to the earth° before°° the face° of Yahweh:° for° the king° of Israel° is come out°° to seek°°° a° flea,° as when° one° doth hunt°° a partridge° in the mountains.°

 26:21 ¶ And Saul said, I have sinned: turn, son David, for I will not hurt thee, because my life was precious in thine eyes; and to-day I have been foolish and have erred exceedingly.

 26:21 ¶ Then said°° Saul,° I have sinned:°° return,°° my son° David:° for° I will no° more° do thee harm,°° because°° my soul° was precious°° in thine eyes° this° day:° behold,° I have played the fool,°° and have erred°° exceedingly.°°°

 26:22 And David answered and said, Behold, the spear of the king: let one of the servants come over and take it.

 26:22 And David° answered°° and said,°° Behold° the king's° spear!° and let one° of the young men°° come over°° and fetch°° it.

 26:23 And the Lord shall recompense each according to his righteousness and his truth, since the Lord delivered thee this day into my hands, and I would not lift my hand against the Lord's anointed.

 26:23 Yahweh° render°° to every man°° his righteousness° and his faithfulness:° for° Yahweh° delivered°° thee into [my] hand° to day,° but I would°° not° stretch forth°° mine hand° against Yahweh's° anointed.°

 26:24 And, behold, as thy life has been precious this very day in my eyes, so let my life be precious before the Lord, and may he protect me, and deliver me out of all affliction.

 26:24 And, behold,° as° thy life° was much set° by°° this° day° in mine eyes,° so° let my life° be much set° by°° in the eyes° of Yahweh,° and let him deliver°° me out of all°° tribulation.°

 26:25 And Saul said to David, Blessed [be] thou, [my] son; and thou shalt surely do valiantly, and surely prevail. And David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.

 26:25 Then Saul° said°° to° David,° Blessed°° [be] thou,° my son° David:° thou shalt both° do°° great°° [things], and also° shalt still°° prevail.°° So David° went°°° on his way,° and Saul° returned°° to his place.°
