Verses 901–1000 of 3586 (page 10 of 36)
וַיָּקָם שְׁמוּאֵל וַיַּעַל מִן-הַגִּלְגָּל גִּבְעַת בִּנְיָמִן וַיִּפְקֹד שָׁאוּל אֶת-הָעָם הַנִּמְצְאִים עִמּוֹ כְּשֵׁשׁ מֵאוֹת אִֽישׁ׃
And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
וַיֵּֽרְדוּ כָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל הַפְּלִשְׁתִּים לִלְטוֹשׁ אִישׁ אֶת-מַֽחֲרַשְׁתּוֹ וְאֶת-אֵתוֹ וְאֶת-קַרְדֻּמּוֹ וְאֵת מַחֲרֵֽשָׁתֽוֹ׃
But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
וְשָׁאוּל יוֹשֵׁב בִּקְצֵה הַגִּבְעָה תַּחַת הָֽרִמּוֹן אֲשֶׁר בְּמִגְרוֹן וְהָעָם אֲשֶׁר עִמּוֹ כְּשֵׁשׁ מֵאוֹת אִֽישׁ׃
And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוֹנָתָן הִנֵּה אֲנַחְנוּ עֹֽבְרִים אֶל-הָֽאֲנָשִׁים וְנִגְלִינוּ אֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them.
וַיַּֽעֲנוּ אַנְשֵׁי הַמַּצָּבָה אֶת-יֽוֹנָתָן׀ וְאֶת-נֹשֵׂא כֵלָיו וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ עֲלוּ אֵלֵינוּ וְנוֹדִיעָה אֶתְכֶם דָּבָר וַיֹּאמֶר יֽוֹנָתָן אֶל-נֹשֵׂא כֵלָיו עֲלֵה אַֽחֲרַי כִּֽי-נְתָנָם יְהוָה בְּיַד יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.
וַתְּהִי הַמַּכָּה הָרִֽאשֹׁנָה אֲשֶׁר הִכָּה יֽוֹנָתָן וְנֹשֵׂא כֵלָיו כְּעֶשְׂרִים אִישׁ כְּבַֽחֲצִי מַֽעֲנָה צֶמֶד שָׂדֶֽה׃
And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow.
וַיִּזָּעֵק שָׁאוּל וְכָל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ וַיָּבֹאוּ עַד-הַמִּלְחָמָה וְהִנֵּה הָֽיְתָה חֶרֶב אִישׁ בְּרֵעֵהוּ מְהוּמָה גְּדוֹלָה מְאֹֽד׃
And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.
וְכֹל אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל הַמִּֽתְחַבְּאִים בְּהַר-אֶפְרַיִם שָֽׁמְעוּ כִּי-נָסוּ פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַֽיַּדְבְּקוּ גַם-הֵמָּה אַֽחֲרֵיהֶם בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה׃
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.
וְאִֽישׁ-יִשְׂרָאֵל נִגַּשׂ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וַיֹּאֶל שָׁאוּל אֶת-הָעָם לֵאמֹר אָרוּר הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-יֹאכַל לֶחֶם עַד-הָעֶרֶב וְנִקַּמְתִּי מֵאֹיְבַי וְלֹֽא-טָעַם כָּל-הָעָם לָֽחֶם׃
And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.
וַיַּעַן אִישׁ מֵֽהָעָם וַיֹּאמֶר הַשְׁבֵּעַ הִשְׁבִּיעַ אָבִיךָ אֶת-הָעָם לֵאמֹר אָרוּר הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-יֹאכַל לֶחֶם הַיּוֹם וַיָּעַף הָעָֽם׃
Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint.
וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל פֻּצוּ בָעָם וַֽאֲמַרְתֶּם לָהֶם הַגִּישׁוּ אֵלַי אִישׁ שׁוֹרוֹ וְאִישׁ שְׂיֵהוּ וּשְׁחַטְתֶּם בָּזֶה וַֽאֲכַלְתֶּם וְלֹֽא-תֶחֶטְאוּ לַֽיהוָה לֶֽאֱכֹל אֶל-הַדָּם וַיַּגִּשׁוּ כָל-הָעָם אִישׁ שׁוֹרוֹ בְיָדוֹ הַלַּיְלָה וַיִּשְׁחֲטוּ-שָֽׁם׃
And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.
וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל נֵֽרְדָה אַֽחֲרֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים׀ לַיְלָה וְֽנָבֹזָה בָהֶם׀ עַד-אוֹר הַבֹּקֶר וְלֹֽא-נַשְׁאֵר בָּהֶם אִישׁ וַיֹּאמְרוּ כָּל-הַטּוֹב בְּעֵינֶיךָ עֲשֵׂה וַיֹּאמֶר הַכֹּהֵן נִקְרְבָה הֲלֹם אֶל-הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.
וַתְּהִי הַמִּלְחָמָה חֲזָקָה עַל-פְּלִשְׁתִּים כֹּל יְמֵי שָׁאוּל וְרָאָה שָׁאוּל כָּל-אִישׁ גִּבּוֹר וְכָל-בֶּן-חַיִל וַיַּֽאַסְפֵהוּ אֵלָֽיו׃
And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him.
עַתָּה לֵךְ וְהִכִּיתָה אֶת-עֲמָלֵק וְהַֽחֲרַמְתֶּם אֶת-כָּל-אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ וְלֹא תַחְמֹל עָלָיו וְהֵֽמַתָּה מֵאִישׁ עַד-אִשָּׁה מֵֽעֹלֵל וְעַד-יוֹנֵק מִשּׁוֹר וְעַד-שֶׂה מִגָּמָל וְעַד-חֲמֽוֹר׃
Now go and 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, camel and ass.
וַיְשַׁמַּע שָׁאוּל אֶת-הָעָם וַֽיִּפְקְדֵם בַּטְּלָאִים מָאתַיִם אֶלֶף רַגְלִי וַֽעֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים אֶת-אִישׁ יְהוּדָֽה׃
And Saul gathered together, the people and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
וְגַם נֵצַח יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא יְשַׁקֵּר וְלֹא יִנָּחֵם כִּי לֹא אָדָם הוּא לְהִנָּחֵֽם׃
And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל אַל-תַּבֵּט אֶל-מַרְאֵהוּ וְאֶל-גְּבֹהַּ קֽוֹמָתוֹ כִּי מְאַסְתִּיהוּ כִּי׀ לֹא אֲשֶׁר יִרְאֶה הָֽאָדָם כִּי הָֽאָדָם יִרְאֶה לַעֵינַיִם וַֽיהוָה יִרְאֶה לַלֵּבָֽב׃
But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
יֹֽאמַר-נָא אֲדֹנֵנוּ עֲבָדֶיךָ לְפָנֶיךָ יְבַקְשׁוּ אִישׁ יֹדֵעַ מְנַגֵּן בַּכִּנּוֹר וְהָיָה בִּֽהְיוֹת עָלֶיךָ רֽוּחַ-אֱלֹהִים רָעָה וְנִגֵּן בְּיָדוֹ וְטוֹב לָֽךְ׃
Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל אֶל-עֲבָדָיו רְאוּ-נָא לִי אִישׁ מֵיטִיב לְנַגֵּן וַהֲבִֽיאוֹתֶם אֵלָֽי׃
And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
וַיַּעַן אֶחָד מֵֽהַנְּעָרִים וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה רָאִיתִי בֵּן לְיִשַׁי בֵּית הַלַּחְמִי יֹדֵעַ נַגֵּן וְגִבּוֹר חַיִל וְאִישׁ מִלְחָמָה וּנְבוֹן דָּבָר וְאִישׁ תֹּאַר וַֽיהוָה עִמּֽוֹ׃
Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.
וְשָׁאוּל וְאִֽישׁ-יִשְׂרָאֵל נֶֽאֶסְפוּ וַֽיַּחֲנוּ בְּעֵמֶק הָֽאֵלָה וַיַּֽעַרְכוּ מִלְחָמָה לִקְרַאת פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
וַיֵּצֵא אִֽישׁ-הַבֵּנַיִם מִמַּֽחֲנוֹת פְּלִשְׁתִּים גָּלְיָת שְׁמוֹ מִגַּת גָּבְהוֹ שֵׁשׁ אַמּוֹת וָזָֽרֶת׃
And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
וַֽיַּעֲמֹד וַיִּקְרָא אֶל-מַֽעַרְכֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם לָמָּה תֵֽצְאוּ לַֽעֲרֹךְ מִלְחָמָה הֲלוֹא אָֽנֹכִי הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי וְאַתֶּם עֲבָדִים לְשָׁאוּל בְּרֽוּ-לָכֶם אִישׁ וְיֵרֵד אֵלָֽי׃
And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי אֲנִי חֵרַפְתִּי אֶת-מַֽעַרְכוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה תְּנוּ-לִי אִישׁ וְנִֽלָּחֲמָה יָֽחַד׃
And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
וְדָוִד בֶּן-אִישׁ אֶפְרָתִי הַזֶּה מִבֵּית לֶחֶם יְהוּדָה וּשְׁמוֹ יִשַׁי וְלוֹ שְׁמֹנָה בָנִים וְהָאִישׁ בִּימֵי שָׁאוּל זָקֵן בָּא בַֽאֲנָשִֽׁים׃
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem-judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul.
וְשָׁאוּל וְהֵמָּה וְכָל-אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעֵמֶק הָֽאֵלָה נִלְחָמִים עִם-פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
וְהוּא׀ מְדַבֵּר עִמָּם וְהִנֵּה אִישׁ הַבֵּנַיִם עוֹלֶה גָּלְיָת הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי שְׁמוֹ מִגַּת (ממערות) מִמַּעַרְכוֹת פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיְדַבֵּר כַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וַיִּשְׁמַע דָּוִֽד׃
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.
וְכֹל אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּרְאוֹתָם אֶת-הָאִישׁ וַיָּנֻסוּ מִפָּנָיו וַיִּֽירְאוּ מְאֹֽד׃
And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
וַיֹּאמֶר׀ אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל הַרְּאִיתֶם הָאִישׁ הָֽעֹלֶה הַזֶּה כִּי לְחָרֵף אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל עֹלֶה וְֽהָיָה הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-יַכֶּנּוּ יַעְשְׁרֶנּוּ הַמֶּלֶךְ׀ עֹשֶׁר גָּדוֹל וְאֶת-בִּתּוֹ יִתֶּן-לוֹ וְאֵת בֵּית אָבִיו יַֽעֲשֶׂה חָפְשִׁי בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶֽל-הָאֲנָשִׁים הָעֹֽמְדִים עִמּוֹ לֵאמֹר מַה-יֵּֽעָשֶׂה לָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יַכֶּה אֶת-הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי הַלָּז וְהֵסִיר חֶרְפָּה מֵעַל יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי מִי הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי הֶֽעָרֵל הַזֶּה כִּי חֵרֵף מַֽעַרְכוֹת אֱלֹהִים חַיִּֽים׃
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?
וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ הָעָם כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה לֵאמֹר כֹּה יֵֽעָשֶׂה לָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יַכֶּֽנּוּ׃
And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
וַיִּשְׁמַע אֱלִיאָב אָחִיו הַגָּדוֹל בְּדַבְּרוֹ אֶל-הָֽאֲנָשִׁים וַיִּֽחַר-אַף אֱלִיאָב בְּדָוִד וַיֹּאמֶר׀ לָמָּה-זֶּה יָרַדְתָּ וְעַל-מִי נָטַשְׁתָּ מְעַט הַצֹּאן הָהֵנָּה בַּמִּדְבָּר אֲנִי יָדַעְתִּי אֶת-זְדֹֽנְךָ וְאֵת רֹעַ לְבָבֶךָ כִּי לְמַעַן רְאוֹת הַמִּלְחָמָה יָרָֽדְתָּ׃
And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל-שָׁאוּל אַל-יִפֹּל לֵב-אָדָם עָלָיו עַבְדְּךָ יֵלֵךְ וְנִלְחַם עִם-הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי הַזֶּֽה׃
And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל אֶל-דָּוִד לֹא תוּכַל לָלֶכֶת אֶל-הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי הַזֶּה לְהִלָּחֵם עִמּוֹ כִּֽי-נַעַר אַתָּה וְהוּא אִישׁ מִלְחָמָה מִנְּעֻרָֽיו׃
And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
וַיֵּלֶךְ הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי הֹלֵךְ וְקָרֵב אֶל-דָּוִד וְהָאִישׁ נֹשֵׂא הַצִּנָּה לְפָנָֽיו׃
And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.
וַיָּקֻמוּ אַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל וִֽיהוּדָה וַיָּרִעוּ וַֽיִּרְדְּפוּ אֶת-הַפְּלִשְׁתִּים עַד-בּֽוֹאֲךָ גַיְא וְעַד שַֽׁעֲרֵי עֶקְרוֹן וַֽיִּפְּלוּ חַֽלְלֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים בְּדֶרֶךְ שַֽׁעֲרַיִם וְעַד-גַּת וְעַד-עֶקְרֽוֹן׃
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.
וַיֵּצֵא דָוִד בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר יִשְׁלָחֶנּוּ שָׁאוּל יַשְׂכִּיל וַיְשִׂמֵהוּ שָׁאוּל עַל אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה וַיִּיטַב בְּעֵינֵי כָל-הָעָם וְגַם בְּעֵינֵי עַבְדֵי שָׁאֽוּל׃
And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
וַֽיְדַבְּרוּ עַבְדֵי שָׁאוּל בְּאָזְנֵי דָוִד אֶת-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד הַֽנְקַלָּה בְעֵֽינֵיכֶם הִתְחַתֵּן בַּמֶּלֶךְ וְאָֽנֹכִי אִֽישׁ-רָשׁ וְנִקְלֶֽה׃
And Saul's servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a king's son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
וַיָּקָם דָּוִד וַיֵּלֶךְ׀ הוּא וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו וַיַּךְ בַּפְּלִשְׁתִּים מָאתַיִם אִישׁ וַיָּבֵא דָוִד אֶת-עָרְלֹתֵיהֶם וַיְמַלְאוּם לַמֶּלֶךְ לְהִתְחַתֵּן בַּמֶּלֶךְ וַיִּתֶּן-לוֹ שָׁאוּל אֶת-מִיכַל בִּתּוֹ לְאִשָּֽׁה׃
Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.
וְלֹֽא-תַכְרִית אֶֽת-חַסְדְּךָ מֵעִם בֵּיתִי עַד-עוֹלָם וְלֹא בְּהַכְרִת יְהוָה אֶת-אֹֽיְבֵי דָוִד אִישׁ מֵעַל פְּנֵי הָֽאֲדָמָֽה׃
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.
הַנַּעַר בָּא וְדָוִד קָם מֵאֵצֶל הַנֶּגֶב וַיִּפֹּל לְאַפָּיו אַרְצָה וַיִּשְׁתַּחוּ שָׁלֹשׁ פְּעָמִים וַֽיִּשְּׁקוּ׀ אִישׁ אֶת-רֵעֵהוּ וַיִּבְכּוּ אִישׁ אֶת-רֵעֵהוּ עַד-דָּוִד הִגְדִּֽיל׃
And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
וַיָּבֹא דָוִד נֹבֶה אֶל-אֲחִימֶלֶךְ הַכֹּהֵן וַיֶּֽחֱרַד אֲחִימֶלֶךְ לִקְרַאת דָּוִד וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ מַדּוּעַ אַתָּה לְבַדֶּךָ וְאִישׁ אֵין אִתָּֽךְ׃
Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד לַֽאֲחִימֶלֶךְ הַכֹּהֵן הַמֶּלֶךְ צִוַּנִי דָבָר וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי אִישׁ אַל-יֵדַע מְאוּמָה אֶת-הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר-אָֽנֹכִי שֹׁלֵֽחֲךָ וַֽאֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִךָ וְאֶת-הַנְּעָרִים יוֹדַעְתִּי אֶל-מְקוֹם פְּלֹנִי אַלְמוֹנִֽי׃
And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.
וְשָׁם אִישׁ מֵֽעַבְדֵי שָׁאוּל בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא נֶעְצָר לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וּשְׁמוֹ דֹּאֵג הָֽאֲדֹמִי אַבִּיר הָֽרֹעִים אֲשֶׁר לְשָׁאֽוּל׃
Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul.
וַיֹּאמֶר אָכִישׁ אֶל-עֲבָדָיו הִנֵּה תִרְאוּ אִישׁ מִשְׁתַּגֵּעַ לָמָּה תָּבִיאוּ אֹתוֹ אֵלָֽי׃
Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me?
וַיִּֽתְקַבְּצוּ אֵלָיו כָּל-אִישׁ מָצוֹק וְכָל-אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ נֹשֶׁא וְכָל-אִישׁ מַר-נֶפֶשׁ וַיְהִי עֲלֵיהֶם לְשָׂר וַיִּֽהְיוּ עִמּוֹ כְּאַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת אִֽישׁ׃
And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
וַיִּשְׁמַע שָׁאוּל כִּי נוֹדַע דָּוִד וַֽאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ וְשָׁאוּל יוֹשֵׁב בַּגִּבְעָה תַּֽחַת-הָאֶשֶׁל בָּֽרָמָה וַֽחֲנִיתוֹ בְיָדוֹ וְכָל-עֲבָדָיו נִצָּבִים עָלָֽיו׃
When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him;)
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ (לדויג) לְדוֹאֵג סֹב אַתָּה וּפְגַע בַּכֹּֽהֲנִים וַיִּסֹּב (דויג) דּוֹאֵג הָֽאֲדֹמִי וַיִּפְגַּע-הוּא בַּכֹּהֲנִים וַיָּמֶת׀ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא שְׁמֹנִים וַֽחֲמִשָּׁה אִישׁ נֹשֵׂא אֵפוֹד בָּֽד׃
And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.
וְאֵת נֹב עִיר-הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הִכָּה לְפִי-חֶרֶב מֵאִישׁ וְעַד-אִשָּׁה מֵֽעוֹלֵל וְעַד-יוֹנֵק וְשׁוֹר וַֽחֲמוֹר וָשֶׂה לְפִי-חָֽרֶב׃
And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
וַיֹּאמְרוּ אַנְשֵׁי דָוִד אֵלָיו הִנֵּה אֲנַחְנוּ פֹה בִּֽיהוּדָה יְרֵאִים וְאַף כִּֽי-נֵלֵךְ קְעִלָה אֶל-מַֽעַרְכוֹת פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
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?
וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד (ואנשו) וַאֲנָשָׁיו קְעִילָה וַיִּלָּחֶם בַּפְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיִּנְהַג אֶת-מִקְנֵיהֶם וַיַּךְ בָּהֶם מַכָּה גְדוֹלָה וַיֹּשַׁע דָּוִד אֵת יֹֽשְׁבֵי קְעִילָֽה׃
So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
וַיְשַׁמַּע שָׁאוּל אֶת-כָּל-הָעָם לַמִּלְחָמָה לָרֶדֶת קְעִילָה לָצוּר אֶל-דָּוִד וְאֶל-אֲנָשָֽׁיו׃
And Saul called together all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
הֲיַסְגִּרֻנִי בַֽעֲלֵי קְעִילָה בְיָדוֹ הֲיֵרֵד שָׁאוּל כַּֽאֲשֶׁר שָׁמַע עַבְדֶּךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הַגֶּד-נָא לְעַבְדֶּךָ וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה יֵרֵֽד׃
Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the LORD said, He will come down.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד הֲיַסְגִּרוּ בַּֽעֲלֵי קְעִילָה אֹתִי וְאֶת-אֲנָשַׁי בְּיַד-שָׁאוּל וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה יַסְגִּֽירוּ׃
Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will deliver thee up.
וַיָּקָם דָּוִד וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו כְּשֵׁשׁ-מֵאוֹת אִישׁ וַיֵּֽצְאוּ מִקְּעִלָה וַיִּֽתְהַלְּכוּ בַּֽאֲשֶׁר יִתְהַלָּכוּ וּלְשָׁאוּל הֻגַּד כִּֽי-נִמְלַט דָּוִד מִקְּעִילָה וַיֶּחְדַּל לָצֵֽאת׃
Then David and his men, which were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth.
וַיָּקוּמוּ וַיֵּֽלְכוּ זִיפָה לִפְנֵי שָׁאוּל וְדָוִד וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו בְּמִדְבַּר מָעוֹן בָּֽעֲרָבָה אֶל יְמִין הַיְשִׁימֽוֹן׃
And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.
וַיֵּלֶךְ שָׁאוּל וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו לְבַקֵּשׁ וַיַּגִּדוּ לְדָוִד וַיֵּרֶד הַסֶּלַע וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּמִדְבַּר מָעוֹן וַיִּשְׁמַע שָׁאוּל וַיִּרְדֹּף אַחֲרֵֽי-דָוִד מִדְבַּר מָעֽוֹן׃
Saul also and his men went to seek him. And they told David: wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
וַיֵּלֶךְ שָׁאוּל מִצַּד הָהָר מִזֶּה וְדָוִד וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו מִצַּד הָהָר מִזֶּה וַיְהִי דָוִד נֶחְפָּז לָלֶכֶת מִפְּנֵי שָׁאוּל וְשָׁאוּל וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו עֹֽטְרִים אֶל-דָּוִד וְאֶל-אֲנָשָׁיו לְתָפְשָֽׂם׃
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 about David and his men round to take them.
וַיִּקַּח שָׁאוּל שְׁלֹשֶׁת אֲלָפִים אִישׁ בָּחוּר מִכָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֵּלֶךְ לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת-דָּוִד וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו עַל-פְּנֵי צוּרֵי הַיְּעֵלִֽים׃
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.
וַיָּבֹא אֶל-גִּדְרוֹת הַצֹּאן עַל-הַדֶּרֶךְ וְשָׁם מְעָרָה וַיָּבֹא שָׁאוּל לְהָסֵךְ אֶת-רַגְלָיו וְדָוִד וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו בְּיַרְכְּתֵי הַמְּעָרָה יֹֽשְׁבִֽים׃
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.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אַנְשֵׁי דָוִד אֵלָיו הִנֵּה הַיּוֹם אֲֽשֶׁר-אָמַר יְהוָה אֵלֶיךָ הִנֵּה אָֽנֹכִי נֹתֵן אֶת-(איביך) אֹֽיִבְךָ בְּיָדֶךָ וְעָשִׂיתָ לּוֹ כַּֽאֲשֶׁר יִטַב בְּעֵינֶיךָ וַיָּקָם דָּוִד וַיִּכְרֹת אֶת-כְּנַֽף-הַמְּעִיל אֲשֶׁר-לְשָׁאוּל בַּלָּֽט׃
And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the LORD 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.
וַיֹּאמֶר לַֽאֲנָשָׁיו חָלִילָה לִּי מֵֽיְהוָה אִם-אֶֽעֱשֶׂה אֶת-הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה לַֽאדֹנִי לִמְשִׁיחַ יְהוָה לִשְׁלֹחַ יָדִי בּוֹ כִּֽי-מְשִׁיחַ יְהוָה הֽוּא׃
And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.
וַיְשַׁסַּע דָּוִד אֶת-אֲנָשָׁיו בַּדְּבָרִים וְלֹא נְתָנָם לָקוּם אֶל-שָׁאוּל וְשָׁאוּל קָם מֵֽהַמְּעָרָה וַיֵּלֶךְ בַּדָּֽרֶךְ׃
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.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד לְשָׁאוּל לָמָּה תִשְׁמַע אֶת-דִּבְרֵי אָדָם לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה דָוִד מְבַקֵּשׁ רָֽעָתֶֽךָ׃
And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?
וְכִֽי-יִמְצָא אִישׁ אֶת-אֹיְבוֹ וְשִׁלְּחוֹ בְּדֶרֶךְ טוֹבָה וַֽיהוָה יְשַׁלֶּמְךָ טוֹבָה תַּחַת הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתָה לִֽי׃
For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me this day.
וַיִּשָּׁבַע דָּוִד לְשָׁאוּל וַיֵּלֶךְ שָׁאוּל אֶל-בֵּיתוֹ וְדָוִד וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו עָלוּ עַל-הַמְּצוּדָֽה׃
And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men gat them up unto the hold.
וְאִישׁ בְּמָעוֹן וּמַֽעֲשֵׂהוּ בַכַּרְמֶל וְהָאִישׁ גָּדוֹל מְאֹד וְלוֹ צֹאן שְׁלֹֽשֶׁת-אֲלָפִים וְאֶלֶף עִזִּים וַיְהִי בִּגְזֹז אֶת-צֹאנוֹ בַּכַּרְמֶֽל׃
And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
וְשֵׁם הָאִישׁ נָבָל וְשֵׁם אִשְׁתּוֹ אֲבִגָיִל וְהָֽאִשָּׁה טֽוֹבַת-שֶׂכֶל וִיפַת תֹּאַר וְהָאִישׁ קָשֶׁה וְרַע מַֽעֲלָלִים וְהוּא (כלבו) כָלִבִּֽי׃
Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.
וַיַּעַן נָבָל אֶת-עַבְדֵי דָוִד וַיֹּאמֶר מִי דָוִד וּמִי בֶן-יִשָׁי הַיּוֹם רַבּוּ עֲבָדִים הַמִּתְפָּרְצִים אִישׁ מִפְּנֵי אֲדֹנָֽיו׃
And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.
וְלָֽקַחְתִּי אֶת-לַחְמִי וְאֶת-מֵימַי וְאֵת טִבְחָתִי אֲשֶׁר טָבַחְתִּי לְגֹֽזְזָי וְנָֽתַתִּי לַֽאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר לֹא יָדַעְתִּי אֵי מִזֶּה הֵֽמָּה׃
Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד לַֽאֲנָשָׁיו חִגְרוּ׀ אִישׁ אֶת-חַרְבּוֹ וַֽיַּחְגְּרוּ אִישׁ אֶת-חַרְבּוֹ וַיַּחְגֹּר גַּם-דָּוִד אֶת-חַרְבּוֹ וַֽיַּעֲלוּ׀ אַֽחֲרֵי דָוִד כְּאַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת אִישׁ וּמָאתַיִם יָֽשְׁבוּ עַל-הַכֵּלִֽים׃
And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.
וְהָאֲנָשִׁים טֹבִים לָנוּ מְאֹד וְלֹא הָכְלַמְנוּ וְלֹֽא-פָקַדְנוּ מְאוּמָה כָּל-יְמֵי הִתְהַלַּכְנוּ אִתָּם בִּֽהְיוֹתֵנוּ בַּשָּׂדֶֽה׃
But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:
וַתֹּאמֶר לִנְעָרֶיהָ עִבְרוּ לְפָנַי הִנְנִי אַֽחֲרֵיכֶם בָּאָה וּלְאִישָׁהּ נָבָל לֹא הִגִּֽידָה׃
And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.
וְהָיָה הִיא׀ רֹכֶבֶת עַֽל-הַחֲמוֹר וְיֹרֶדֶת בְּסֵתֶר הָהָר וְהִנֵּה דָוִד וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו יֹֽרְדִים לִקְרָאתָהּ וַתִּפְגֹּשׁ אֹתָֽם׃
And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.
אַל-נָא יָשִׂים אֲדֹנִי׀ אֶת-לִבּוֹ אֶל-אִישׁ הַבְּלִיַּעַל הַזֶּה עַל-נָבָל כִּי כִשְׁמוֹ כֶּן-הוּא נָבָל שְׁמוֹ וּנְבָלָה עִמּוֹ וַֽאֲנִי אֲמָתְךָ לֹא רָאִיתִי אֶת-נַֽעֲרֵי אֲדֹנִי אֲשֶׁר שָׁלָֽחְתָּ׃
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.
וַיָּקָם אָדָם לִרְדָפְךָ וּלְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת-נַפְשֶׁךָ וְֽהָיְתָה נֶפֶשׁ אֲדֹנִי צְרוּרָה׀ בִּצְרוֹר הַֽחַיִּים אֵת יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְאֵת נֶפֶשׁ אֹֽיְבֶיךָ יְקַלְּעֶנָּה בְּתוֹךְ כַּף הַקָּֽלַע׃
Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.
וַיָּקָם שָׁאוּל וַיֵּרֶד אֶל-מִדְבַּר-זִיף וְאִתּוֹ שְׁלֹֽשֶׁת-אֲלָפִים אִישׁ בְּחוּרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת-דָּוִד בְּמִדְבַּר-זִֽיף׃
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.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל-אַבְנֵר הֲלוֹא-אִישׁ אַתָּה וּמִי כָמוֹךָ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וְלָמָּה לֹא שָׁמַרְתָּ אֶל-אֲדֹנֶיךָ הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי-בָא אַחַד הָעָם לְהַשְׁחִית אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲדֹנֶֽיךָ׃
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 lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.
וְעַתָּה יִֽשְׁמַֽע-נָא אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ אֵת דִּבְרֵי עַבְדּוֹ אִם-יְהוָה הֱסִֽיתְךָ בִי יָרַח מִנְחָה וְאִם׀ בְּנֵי הָֽאָדָם אֲרוּרִים הֵם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה כִּֽי-גֵרְשׁוּנִי הַיּוֹם מֵֽהִסְתַּפֵּחַ בְּנַֽחֲלַת יְהוָה לֵאמֹר לֵךְ עֲבֹד אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִֽים׃
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.
וַֽיהוָה יָשִׁיב לָאִישׁ אֶת-צִדְקָתוֹ וְאֶת-אֱמֻֽנָתוֹ אֲשֶׁר נְתָֽנְךָ יְהוָה׀ הַיּוֹם בְּיָד וְלֹא אָבִיתִי לִשְׁלֹחַ יָדִי בִּמְשִׁיחַ יְהוָֽה׃
The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness: for the LORD delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD's anointed.
וַיָּקָם דָּוִד וַיַּֽעֲבֹר הוּא וְשֵׁשׁ-מֵאוֹת אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר עִמּוֹ אֶל-אָכִישׁ בֶּן-מָעוֹךְ מֶלֶךְ גַּֽת׃
And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
וַיֵּשֶׁב דָּוִד עִם-אָכִישׁ בְּגַת הוּא וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו אִישׁ וּבֵיתוֹ דָּוִד וּשְׁתֵּי נָשָׁיו אֲחִינֹעַם הַיִּזְרְעֵאלִת וַֽאֲבִיגַיִל אֵֽשֶׁת-נָבָל הַֽכַּרְמְלִֽית׃
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.
וַיַּעַל דָּוִד וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו וַֽיִּפְשְׁטוּ אֶל-הַגְּשׁוּרִי (והגרזי) וְהַגִּזְרִי וְהָעֲמָֽלֵקִי כִּי הֵנָּה יֹֽשְׁבוֹת הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר מֵֽעוֹלָם בּֽוֹאֲךָ שׁוּרָה וְעַד-אֶרֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
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.
וְהִכָּה דָוִד אֶת-הָאָרֶץ וְלֹא יְחַיֶּה אִישׁ וְאִשָּׁה וְלָקַח צֹאן וּבָקָר וַֽחֲמֹרִים וּגְמַלִּים וּבְגָדִים וַיָּשָׁב וַיָּבֹא אֶל-אָכִֽישׁ׃
And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.
וְאִישׁ וְאִשָּׁה לֹֽא-יְחַיֶּה דָוִד לְהָבִיא גַת לֵאמֹר פֶּן-יַגִּדוּ עָלֵינוּ לֵאמֹר כֹּֽה-עָשָׂה דָוִד וְכֹה מִשְׁפָּטוֹ כָּל-הַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר יָשַׁב בִּשְׂדֵה פְלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines.
וַֽיְהִי בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם וַיִּקְבְּצוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים אֶת-מַֽחֲנֵיהֶם לַצָּבָא לְהִלָּחֵם בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר אָכִישׁ אֶל-דָּוִד יָדֹעַ תֵּדַע כִּי אִתִּי תֵּצֵא בַֽמַּחֲנֶה אַתָּה וַֽאֲנָשֶֽׁיךָ׃
And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered together their armies 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.
וַיִּתְחַפֵּשׂ שָׁאוּל וַיִּלְבַּשׁ בְּגָדִים אֲחֵרִים וַיֵּלֶךְ הוּא וּשְׁנֵי אֲנָשִׁים עִמּוֹ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-הָֽאִשָּׁה לָיְלָה וַיֹּאמֶר (קסומי) קָֽסֳמִי-נָא לִי בָּאוֹב וְהַעֲלִי לִי אֵת אֲשֶׁר-אֹמַר אֵלָֽיִךְ׃
And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring up, me him whom I shall name unto thee.
וַיֹּאמֶר לָהּ מַֽה-תָּאֳרוֹ וַתֹּאמֶר אִישׁ זָקֵן עֹלֶה וְהוּא עֹטֶה מְעִיל וַיֵּדַע שָׁאוּל כִּֽי-שְׁמוּאֵל הוּא וַיִּקֹּד אַפַּיִם אַרְצָה וַיִּשְׁתָּֽחוּ׃
And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
וְסַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים עֹֽבְרִים לְמֵאוֹת וְלַֽאֲלָפִים וְדָוִד וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו עֹֽבְרִים בָּאַֽחֲרֹנָה עִם-אָכִֽישׁ׃
And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rereward with Achish.
וַיִּקְצְפוּ עָלָיו שָׂרֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ שָׂרֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים הָשֵׁב אֶת-הָאִישׁ וְיָשֹׁב אֶל-מְקוֹמוֹ אֲשֶׁר הִפְקַדְתּוֹ שָׁם וְלֹֽא-יֵרֵד עִמָּנוּ בַּמִּלְחָמָה וְלֹא-יִֽהְיֶה-לָּנוּ לְשָׂטָן בַּמִּלְחָמָה וּבַמֶּה יִתְרַצֶּה זֶה אֶל-אֲדֹנָיו הֲלוֹא בְּרָאשֵׁי הָֽאֲנָשִׁים הָהֵֽם׃
And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary to us: for wherewith should he reconcile himself unto his master? should it not be with the heads of these men?
וַיַּשְׁכֵּם דָּוִד הוּא וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו לָלֶכֶת בַּבֹּקֶר לָשׁוּב אֶל-אֶרֶץ פְּלִשְׁתִּים וּפְלִשְׁתִּים עָלוּ יִזְרְעֶֽאל׃
So David and his men rose up early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
וַיְהִי בְּבֹא דָוִד וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו צִֽקְלַג בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי וַעֲמָֽלֵקִי פָֽשְׁטוּ אֶל-נֶגֶב וְאֶל-צִקְלַג וַיַּכּוּ אֶת-צִקְלַג וַיִּשְׂרְפוּ אֹתָהּ בָּאֵֽשׁ׃
And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
וַיִּשְׁבּוּ אֶת-הַנָּשִׁים אֲשֶׁר-בָּהּ מִקָּטֹן וְעַד-גָּדוֹל לֹא הֵמִיתוּ אִישׁ וַיִּֽנְהֲגוּ וַיֵּֽלְכוּ לְדַרְכָּֽם׃
And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.
וַיָּבֹא דָוִד וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו אֶל-הָעִיר וְהִנֵּה שְׂרוּפָה בָּאֵשׁ וּנְשֵׁיהֶם וּבְנֵיהֶם וּבְנֹֽתֵיהֶם נִשְׁבּֽוּ׃
So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
וַתֵּצֶר לְדָוִד מְאֹד כִּֽי-אָמְרוּ הָעָם לְסָקְלוֹ כִּֽי-מָרָה נֶפֶשׁ כָּל-הָעָם אִישׁ עַל-(בנו) בָּנָיו וְעַל-בְּנֹתָיו וַיִּתְחַזֵּק דָּוִד בַּֽיהוָה אֱלֹהָֽיו׃
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד הוּא וְשֵׁשׁ-מֵאוֹת אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ וַיָּבֹאוּ עַד-נַחַל הַבְּשׂוֹר וְהַנּֽוֹתָרִים עָמָֽדוּ׃
So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
וַיִּרְדֹּף דָּוִד הוּא וְאַרְבַּע-מֵאוֹת אִישׁ וַיַּֽעַמְדוּ מָאתַיִם אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר פִּגְּרוּ מֵֽעֲבֹר אֶת-נַחַל הַבְּשֽׂוֹר׃
But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
וַֽיִּמְצְאוּ אִישׁ-מִצְרִי בַּשָּׂדֶה וַיִּקְחוּ אֹתוֹ אֶל-דָּוִד וַיִּתְּנוּ-לוֹ לֶחֶם וַיֹּאכַל וַיַּשְׁקֻהוּ מָֽיִם׃
And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ דָוִד לְֽמִי-אַתָּה וְאֵי מִזֶּה אָתָּה וַיֹּאמֶר נַעַר מִצְרִי אָנֹכִי עֶבֶד לְאִישׁ עֲמָֽלֵקִי וַיַּֽעַזְבֵנִי אֲדֹנִי כִּי חָלִיתִי הַיּוֹם שְׁלֹשָֽׁה׃
And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.
וַיַּכֵּם דָּוִד מֵֽהַנֶּשֶׁף וְעַד-הָעֶרֶב לְמָֽחֳרָתָם וְלֹֽא-נִמְלַט מֵהֶם אִישׁ כִּי אִם-אַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת אִֽישׁ-נַעַר אֲשֶׁר-רָֽכְבוּ עַל-הַגְּמַלִּים וַיָּנֻֽסוּ׃
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.
