וַיָּבֹא דָוִד אֶל-שָׁאוּל וַֽיַּעֲמֹד לְפָנָיו וַיֶּֽאֱהָבֵהֽוּ מְאֹד וַֽיְהִי-לוֹ נֹשֵׂא כֵלִֽים׃
And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.
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.
וְאֵת עֲשֶׂרֶת חֲרִצֵי הֶֽחָלָב הָאֵלֶּה תָּבִיא לְשַׂר-הָאָלֶף וְאֶת-אַחֶיךָ תִּפְקֹד לְשָׁלוֹם וְאֶת-עֲרֻבָּתָם תִּקָּֽח׃
And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
וַיַּשְׁכֵּם דָּוִד בַּבֹּקֶר וַיִּטֹּשׁ אֶת-הַצֹּאן עַל-שֹׁמֵר וַיִּשָּׂא וַיֵּלֶךְ כַּֽאֲשֶׁר צִוָּהוּ יִשָׁי וַיָּבֹא הַמַּעְגָּלָה וְהַחַיִל הַיֹּצֵא אֶל-הַמַּעֲרָכָה וְהֵרֵעוּ בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה׃
And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle.
וַיִּטֹּשׁ דָּוִד אֶת-הַכֵּלִים מֵֽעָלָיו עַל-יַד שׁוֹמֵר הַכֵּלִים וַיָּרָץ הַמַּֽעֲרָכָה וַיָּבֹא וַיִּשְׁאַל לְאֶחָיו לְשָׁלֽוֹם׃
And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל-שָׁאוּל רֹעֶה הָיָה עַבְדְּךָ לְאָבִיו בַּצֹּאן וּבָא הָֽאֲרִי וְאֶת-הַדּוֹב וְנָשָׂא שֶׂה מֵֽהָעֵֽדֶר׃
And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
וַיֹּאמֶר הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי אֶל-דָּוִד הֲכֶלֶב אָנֹכִי כִּֽי-אַתָּה בָֽא-אֵלַי בַּמַּקְלוֹת וַיְקַלֵּל הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי אֶת-דָּוִד בֵּֽאלֹהָֽיו׃
And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל-הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי אַתָּה בָּא אֵלַי בְּחֶרֶב וּבַֽחֲנִית וּבְכִידוֹן וְאָֽנֹכִי בָֽא-אֵלֶיךָ בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי מַֽעַרְכוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר חֵרַֽפְתָּ׃
Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
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.
וַיִּקַּח דָּוִד אֶת-רֹאשׁ הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי וַיְבִאֵהוּ יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם וְאֶת-כֵּלָיו שָׂם בְּאָֽהֳלֽוֹ׃
And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
וּכְשׁוּב דָּוִד מֵֽהַכּוֹת אֶת-הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי וַיִּקַּח אֹתוֹ אַבְנֵר וַיְבִאֵהוּ לִפְנֵי שָׁאוּל וְרֹאשׁ הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי בְּיָדֽוֹ׃
And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
וַיְהִי בְּבוֹאָם בְּשׁוּב דָּוִד מֵֽהַכּוֹת אֶת-הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי וַתֵּצֶאנָה הַנָּשִׁים מִכָּל-עָרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל (לשור) לָשִׁיר וְהַמְּחֹלוֹת לִקְרַאת שָׁאוּל הַמֶּלֶךְ בְּתֻפִּים בְּשִׂמְחָה וּבְשָֽׁלִשִֽׁים׃
And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick.
וַיְסִרֵהוּ שָׁאוּל מֵֽעִמּוֹ וַיְשִׂמֵהוּ לוֹ שַׂר-אָלֶף וַיֵּצֵא וַיָּבֹא לִפְנֵי הָעָֽם׃
Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וִֽיהוּדָה אֹהֵב אֶת-דָּוִד כִּי-הוּא יוֹצֵא וָבָא לִפְנֵיהֶֽם׃
But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.
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.
וַיִּקְרָא יְהֽוֹנָתָן לְדָוִד וַיַּגֶּד-לוֹ יְהוֹנָתָן אֵת כָּל-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וַיָּבֵא יְהֽוֹנָתָן אֶת-דָּוִד אֶל-שָׁאוּל וַיְהִי לְפָנָיו כְּאֶתְמוֹל שִׁלְשֽׁוֹם׃
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shewed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.
וַיָּבֹאוּ הַמַּלְאָכִים וְהִנֵּה הַתְּרָפִים אֶל-הַמִּטָּה וּכְבִיר הָֽעִזִּים מְרַֽאֲשֹׁתָֽיו׃
And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster.
וְדָוִד בָּרַח וַיִּמָּלֵט וַיָּבֹא אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל הָֽרָמָתָה וַיַּגֶּד-לוֹ אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר עָֽשָׂה-לוֹ שָׁאוּל וַיֵּלֶךְ הוּא וּשְׁמוּאֵל וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ (בנוית) בְּנָֽיוֹת׃
So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
וַיֵּלֶךְ גַּם-הוּא הָֽרָמָתָה וַיָּבֹא עַד-בּוֹר הַגָּדוֹל אֲשֶׁר בַּשֶּׂכוּ וַיִּשְׁאַל וַיֹּאמֶר אֵיפֹה שְׁמוּאֵל וְדָוִד וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה (בנוית) בְּנָיוֹת בָּֽרָמָֽה׃
Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.
וַיֵּלֶךְ שָׁם אֶל-(נוית) נָיוֹת בָּֽרָמָה וַתְּהִי עָלָיו גַּם-הוּא רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים וַיֵּלֶךְ הָלוֹךְ וַיִּתְנַבֵּא עַד-בֹּאוֹ (בנוית) בְּנָיוֹת בָּֽרָמָֽה׃
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.
וַיִּבְרַח דָּוִד (מנוות) מִנָּיוֹת בָּֽרָמָה וַיָּבֹא וַיֹּאמֶר׀ לִפְנֵי יְהֽוֹנָתָן מֶה עָשִׂיתִי מֶֽה-עֲוֹנִי וּמֶֽה-חַטָּאתִי לִפְנֵי אָבִיךָ כִּי מְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת-נַפְשִֽׁי׃
And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
וְעָשִׂיתָ חֶסֶד עַל-עַבְדֶּךָ כִּי בִּבְרִית יְהוָה הֵבֵאתָ אֶֽת-עַבְדְּךָ עִמָּךְ וְאִם-יֶשׁ-בִּי עָוֹן הֲמִיתֵנִי אַתָּה וְעַד-אָבִיךָ לָמָּה-זֶּה תְבִיאֵֽנִי׃
Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֽוֹנָתָן חָלִילָה לָּךְ כִּי׀ אִם-יָדֹעַ אֵדַע כִּֽי-כָלְתָה הָֽרָעָה מֵעִם אָבִי לָבוֹא עָלֶיךָ וְלֹא אֹתָהּ אַגִּיד לָֽךְ׃
And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?
וְשִׁלַּשְׁתָּ תֵּרֵד מְאֹד וּבָאתָ אֶל-הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר-נִסְתַּרְתָּ שָּׁם בְּיוֹם הַֽמַּעֲשֶׂה וְיָשַׁבְתָּ אֵצֶל הָאֶבֶן הָאָֽזֶל׃
And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
וְהִנֵּה אֶשְׁלַח אֶת-הַנַּעַר לֵךְ מְצָא אֶת-הַחִצִּים אִם-אָמֹר אֹמַר לַנַּעַר הִנֵּה הַחִצִּים׀ מִמְּךָ וָהֵנָּה קָחֶנּוּ׀ וָבֹאָה כִּֽי-שָׁלוֹם לְךָ וְאֵין דָּבָר חַי-יְהוָֽה׃
And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the LORD liveth.
וַיְהִי מִֽמָּחֳרַת הַחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי וַיִּפָּקֵד מְקוֹם דָּוִד וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל אֶל-יְהֽוֹנָתָן בְּנוֹ מַדּוּעַ לֹא-בָא בֶן-יִשַׁי גַּם-תְּמוֹל גַּם-הַיּוֹם אֶל-הַלָּֽחֶם׃
And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?
וַיֹּאמֶר שַׁלְּחֵנִי נָא כִּי זֶבַח מִשְׁפָּחָה לָנוּ בָּעִיר וְהוּא צִוָּה-לִי אָחִי וְעַתָּה אִם-מָצָאתִי חֵן בְּעֵינֶיךָ אִמָּלְטָה נָּא וְאֶרְאֶה אֶת-אֶחָי עַל-כֵּן לֹא-בָא אֶל-שֻׁלְחַן הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king's table.
וַיָּבֹא הַנַּעַר עַד-מְקוֹם הַחֵצִי אֲשֶׁר יָרָה יְהֽוֹנָתָן וַיִּקְרָא יְהֽוֹנָתָן אַֽחֲרֵי הַנַּעַר וַיֹּאמֶר הֲלוֹא הַחֵצִי מִמְּךָ וָהָֽלְאָה׃
And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?
וַיִּקְרָא יְהֽוֹנָתָן אַֽחֲרֵי הַנַּעַר מְהֵרָה חוּשָׁה אַֽל-תַּעֲמֹד וַיְלַקֵּט נַעַר יְהֽוֹנָתָן אֶת-(החצי) הַחִצִּים וַיָּבֹא אֶל-אֲדֹנָֽיו׃
And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
וַיִּתֵּן יְהֽוֹנָתָן אֶת-כֵּלָיו אֶל-הַנַּעַר אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ לֵךְ הָבֵיא הָעִֽיר׃
And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.
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.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֽוֹנָתָן לְדָוִד לֵךְ לְשָׁלוֹם אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְנוּ שְׁנֵינוּ אֲנַחְנוּ בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה לֵאמֹר יְהוָה יִֽהְיֶה׀ בֵּינִי וּבֵינֶךָ וּבֵין זַרְעִי וּבֵין זַרְעֲךָ עַד-עוֹלָֽם׃
And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
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?
וַיָּקָם דָּוִד וַיִּבְרַח בַּיּוֹם-הַהוּא מִפְּנֵי שָׁאוּל וַיָּבֹא אֶל-אָכִישׁ מֶלֶךְ גַּֽת׃
And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
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?
חֲסַר מְשֻׁגָּעִים אָנִי כִּֽי-הֲבֵאתֶם אֶת-זֶה לְהִשְׁתַּגֵּעַ עָלָי הֲזֶה יָבוֹא אֶל-בֵּיתִֽי׃
Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?
וַיֹּאמֶר גָּד הַנָּבִיא אֶל-דָּוִד לֹא תֵשֵׁב בַּמְּצוּדָה לֵךְ וּבָֽאתָ-לְּךָ אֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד וַיָּבֹא יַעַר חָֽרֶת׃
And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.
וַיַּעַן דֹּאֵג הָֽאֲדֹמִי וְהוּא נִצָּב עַל-עַבְדֵֽי-שָׁאוּל וַיֹּאמַר רָאִיתִי אֶת-בֶּן-יִשַׁי בָּא נֹבֶה אֶל-אֲחִימֶלֶךְ בֶּן-אֲחִטֽוּב׃
Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
וַיִּשְׁלַח הַמֶּלֶךְ לִקְרֹא אֶת-אֲחִימֶלֶךְ בֶּן-אֲחִיטוּב הַכֹּהֵן וְאֵת כָּל-בֵּית אָבִיו הַכֹּֽהֲנִים אֲשֶׁר בְּנֹב וַיָּבֹאוּ כֻלָּם אֶל-הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
וַיֻּגַּד לְשָׁאוּל כִּי-בָא דָוִד קְעִילָה וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל נִכַּר אֹתוֹ אֱלֹהִים בְּיָדִי כִּי נִסְגַּר לָבוֹא בְּעִיר דְּלָתַיִם וּבְרִֽיחַ׃
And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל שָׁמֹעַ שָׁמַע עַבְדְּךָ כִּֽי-מְבַקֵּשׁ שָׁאוּל לָבוֹא אֶל-קְעִילָה לְשַׁחֵת לָעִיר בַּֽעֲבוּרִֽי׃
Then said David, O LORD God of Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
וּמַלְאָךְ בָּא אֶל-שָׁאוּל לֵאמֹר מַֽהֲרָה וְלֵכָה כִּֽי-פָשְׁטוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים עַל-הָאָֽרֶץ׃
But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.
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.
וַיִּשְׁלַח דָּוִד עֲשָׂרָה נְעָרִים וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד לַנְּעָרִים עֲלוּ כַרְמֶלָה וּבָאתֶם אֶל-נָבָל וּשְׁאֶלְתֶּם-לוֹ בִשְׁמִי לְשָׁלֽוֹם׃
And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:
שְׁאַל אֶת-נְעָרֶיךָ וְיַגִּידוּ לָךְ וְיִמְצְאוּ הַנְּעָרִים חֵן בְּעֵינֶיךָ כִּֽי-עַל-יוֹם טוֹב בָּנוּ תְּנָה-נָּא אֵת אֲשֶׁר תִּמְצָא יָֽדְךָ לַֽעֲבָדֶיךָ וּלְבִנְךָ לְדָוִֽד׃
Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.
וַיָּבֹאוּ נַֽעֲרֵי דָוִד וַיְדַבְּרוּ אֶל-נָבָל כְּכָל-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה בְּשֵׁם דָּוִד וַיָּנֽוּחוּ׃
And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
וַיַּֽהַפְכוּ נַעֲרֵֽי-דָוִד לְדַרְכָּם וַיָּשֻׁבוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ וַיַּגִּדוּ לוֹ כְּכֹל הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵֽלֶּה׃
So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.
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.
וְעַתָּה אֲדֹנִי חַי-יְהוָה וְחֵֽי-נַפְשְׁךָ אֲשֶׁר מְנָֽעֲךָ יְהוָה מִבּוֹא בְדָמִים וְהוֹשֵׁעַ יָֽדְךָ לָךְ וְעַתָּה יִֽהְיוּ כְנָבָל אֹֽיְבֶיךָ וְהַֽמְבַקְשִׁים אֶל-אֲדֹנִי רָעָֽה׃
Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
וְעַתָּה הַבְּרָכָה הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר-הֵבִיא שִׁפְחָֽתְךָ לַֽאדֹנִי וְנִתְּנָה לַנְּעָרִים הַמִּֽתְהַלְּכִים בְּרַגְלֵי אֲדֹנִֽי׃
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.
וּבָרוּךְ טַעְמֵךְ וּבְרוּכָה אָתְּ אֲשֶׁר כְּלִתִנִי הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה מִבּוֹא בְדָמִים וְהֹשֵׁעַ יָדִי לִֽי׃
And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
וְאוּלָם חַי-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר מְנָעַנִי מֵֽהָרַע אֹתָךְ כִּי׀ לוּלֵי מִהַרְתְּ (ותבאתי) וַתָּבֹאת לִקְרָאתִי כִּי אִם-נוֹתַר לְנָבָל עַד-אוֹר הַבֹּקֶר מַשְׁתִּין בְּקִֽיר׃
For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
וַיִּקַּח דָּוִד מִיָּדָהּ אֵת אֲשֶׁר-הֵבִיאָה לוֹ וְלָהּ אָמַר עֲלִי לְשָׁלוֹם לְבֵיתֵךְ רְאִי שָׁמַעְתִּי בְקוֹלֵךְ וָֽאֶשָּׂא פָּנָֽיִךְ׃
So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
וַתָּבֹא אֲבִיגַיִל׀ אֶל-נָבָל וְהִנֵּה-לוֹ מִשְׁתֶּה בְּבֵיתוֹ כְּמִשְׁתֵּה הַמֶּלֶךְ וְלֵב נָבָל טוֹב עָלָיו וְהוּא שִׁכֹּר עַד-מְאֹד וְלֹֽא-הִגִּידָה לּוֹ דָּבָר קָטֹן וְגָדוֹל עַד-אוֹר הַבֹּֽקֶר׃
And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
וַיָּבֹאוּ עַבְדֵי דָוִד אֶל-אֲבִיגַיִל הַכַּרְמֶלָה וַיְדַבְּרוּ אֵלֶיהָ לֵאמֹר דָּוִד שְׁלָחָנוּ אֵלַיִךְ לְקַחְתֵּךְ לוֹ לְאִשָּֽׁה׃
And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.
וַיָּבֹאוּ הַזִּפִים אֶל-שָׁאוּל הַגִּבְעָתָה לֵאמֹר הֲלוֹא דָוִד מִסְתַּתֵּר בְּגִבְעַת הַֽחֲכִילָה עַל פְּנֵי הַיְשִׁימֹֽן׃
And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?
וַיִּחַן שָׁאוּל בְּגִבְעַת הַֽחֲכִילָה אֲשֶׁר עַל-פְּנֵי הַיְשִׁימֹן עַל-הַדָּרֶךְ וְדָוִד יֹשֵׁב בַּמִּדְבָּר וַיַּרְא כִּי בָא שָׁאוּל אַֽחֲרָיו הַמִּדְבָּֽרָה׃
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.
וַיִּשְׁלַח דָּוִד מְרַגְּלִים וַיֵּדַע כִּי-בָא שָׁאוּל אֶל-נָכֽוֹן׃
David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed.
וַיָּקָם דָּוִד וַיָּבֹא אֶֽל-הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר חָֽנָה-שָׁם שָׁאוּל וַיַּרְא דָּוִד אֶת-הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר שָֽׁכַב-שָׁם שָׁאוּל וְאַבְנֵר בֶּן-נֵר שַׂר-צְבָאוֹ וְשָׁאוּל שֹׁכֵב בַּמַּעְגָּל וְהָעָם חֹנִים (סביבתו) סְבִיבֹתָֽיו׃
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.
וַיָּבֹא דָוִד וַֽאֲבִישַׁי׀ אֶל-הָעָם לַיְלָה וְהִנֵּה שָׁאוּל שֹׁכֵב יָשֵׁן בַּמַּעְגָּל וַֽחֲנִיתוֹ מְעוּכָֽה-בָאָרֶץ (מראשתו) מְרַאֲשֹׁתָיו וְאַבְנֵר וְהָעָם שֹֽׁכְבִים (סביבתו) סְבִיבֹתָֽיו׃
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.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד חַי-יְהוָה כִּי אִם-יְהוָה יִגָּפֶנּוּ אֽוֹ-יוֹמוֹ יָבוֹא וָמֵת אוֹ בַמִּלְחָמָה יֵרֵד וְנִסְפָּֽה׃
David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.
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.
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.
וַיִּקָּֽבְצוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיָּבֹאוּ וַיַּֽחֲנוּ בְשׁוּנֵם וַיִּקְבֹּץ שָׁאוּל אֶת-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽיַּחֲנוּ בַּגִּלְבֹּֽעַ׃
And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered together, all Israel and they pitched in Gilboa.
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.
וַתָּבוֹא הָֽאִשָּׁה אֶל-שָׁאוּל וַתֵּרֶא כִּֽי-נִבְהַל מְאֹד וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הִנֵּה שָֽׁמְעָה שִׁפְחָֽתְךָ בְּקוֹלֶךָ וָֽאָשִׂים נַפְשִׁי בְּכַפִּי וָֽאֶשְׁמַע אֶת-דְּבָרֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתָּ אֵלָֽי׃
And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me.
וַיִּקְרָא אָכִישׁ אֶל-דָּוִד וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו חַי-יְהוָה כִּֽי-יָשָׁר אַתָּה וְטוֹב בְּעֵינַי צֵֽאתְךָ וּבֹֽאֲךָ אִתִּי בַּֽמַּחֲנֶה כִּי לֹֽא-מָצָאתִֽי בְךָ רָעָה מִיּוֹם בֹּֽאֲךָ אֵלַי עַד-הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה וּבְעֵינֵי הַסְּרָנִים לֹא-טוֹב אָֽתָּה׃
Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour thee not.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל-אָכִישׁ כִּי מֶה עָשִׂיתִי וּמַה-מָּצָאתָ בְעַבְדְּךָ מִיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר הָיִיתִי לְפָנֶיךָ עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה כִּי לֹא אָבוֹא וְנִלְחַמְתִּי בְּאֹֽיְבֵי אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
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?
וְעַתָּה הַשְׁכֵּם בַּבֹּקֶר וְעַבְדֵי אֲדֹנֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר-בָּאוּ אִתָּךְ וְהִשְׁכַּמְתֶּם בַּבֹּקֶר וְאוֹר לָכֶם וָלֵֽכוּ׃
Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy master's servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart.
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;
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.
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.
וַיָּבֹא דָוִד אֶל-מָאתַיִם הָֽאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶֽׁר-פִּגְּרוּ׀ מִלֶּכֶת׀ אַֽחֲרֵי דָוִד וַיֹּֽשִׁיבֻם בְּנַחַל הַבְּשׂוֹר וַיֵּֽצְאוּ לִקְרַאת דָּוִד וְלִקְרַאת הָעָם אֲשֶׁר-אִתּוֹ וַיִּגַּשׁ דָּוִד אֶת-הָעָם וַיִּשְׁאַל לָהֶם לְשָׁלֽוֹם׃
And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד לֹֽא-תַעֲשׂוּ כֵן אֶחָי אֵת אֲשֶׁר-נָתַן יְהוָה לָנוּ וַיִּשְׁמֹר אֹתָנוּ וַיִּתֵּן אֶֽת-הַגְּדוּד הַבָּא עָלֵינוּ בְּיָדֵֽנוּ׃
Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
וַיָּבֹא דָוִד אֶל-צִקְלַג וַיְשַׁלַּח מֵֽהַשָּׁלָל לְזִקְנֵי יְהוּדָה לְרֵעֵהוּ לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה לָכֶם בְּרָכָה מִשְּׁלַל אֹֽיְבֵי יְהוָֽה׃
And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל לְנֹשֵׂא כֵלָיו שְׁלֹף חַרְבְּךָ׀ וְדָקְרֵנִי בָהּ פֶּן-יָבוֹאוּ הָֽעֲרֵלִים הָאֵלֶּה וּדְקָרֻנִי וְהִתְעַלְּלוּ-בִי וְלֹא אָבָה נֹשֵׂא כֵלָיו כִּי יָרֵא מְאֹד וַיִּקַּח שָׁאוּל אֶת-הַחֶרֶב וַיִּפֹּל עָלֶֽיהָ׃
Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
וַיִּרְאוּ אַנְשֵֽׁי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר-בְּעֵבֶר הָעֵמֶק וַֽאֲשֶׁר׀ בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן כִּֽי-נָסוּ אַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְכִי-מֵתוּ שָׁאוּל וּבָנָיו וַיַּֽעַזְבוּ אֶת-הֶֽעָרִים וַיָּנֻסוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ בָּהֶֽן׃
And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
וַֽיְהִי מִֽמָּחֳרָת וַיָּבֹאוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים לְפַשֵּׁט אֶת-הַֽחֲלָלִים וַֽיִּמְצְאוּ אֶת-שָׁאוּל וְאֶת-שְׁלֹשֶׁת בָּנָיו נֹֽפְלִים בְּהַר הַגִּלְבֹּֽעַ׃
And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
וַיָּקוּמוּ כָּל-אִישׁ חַיִל וַיֵּֽלְכוּ כָל-הַלַּיְלָה וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת-גְּוִיַּת שָׁאוּל וְאֵת גְּוִיֹּת בָּנָיו מֵֽחוֹמַת בֵּית שָׁן וַיָּבֹאוּ יָבֵשָׁה וַיִּשְׂרְפוּ אֹתָם שָֽׁם׃
All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
וַיְהִי׀ בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי וְהִנֵּה אִישׁ בָּא מִן-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה מֵעִם שָׁאוּל וּבְגָדָיו קְרֻעִים וַֽאֲדָמָה עַל-רֹאשׁוֹ וַֽיְהִי בְּבֹאוֹ אֶל-דָּוִד וַיִּפֹּל אַרְצָה וַיִּשְׁתָּֽחוּ׃
It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ דָּוִד אֵי מִזֶּה תָּבוֹא וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו מִמַּֽחֲנֵה יִשְׂרָאֵל נִמְלָֽטְתִּי׃
And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
וָאֶֽעֱמֹד עָלָיו וַאֲמֹתְתֵהוּ כִּי יָדַעְתִּי כִּי לֹא יִֽחְיֶה אַֽחֲרֵי נִפְלוֹ וָֽאֶקַּח הַנֵּזֶר׀ אֲשֶׁר עַל-רֹאשׁוֹ וְאֶצְעָדָה אֲשֶׁר עַל-זְרֹעוֹ וָֽאֲבִיאֵם אֶל-אֲדֹנִי הֵֽנָּה׃
So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.
וַיָּבֹאוּ אַנְשֵׁי יְהוּדָה וַיִּמְשְׁחוּ-שָׁם אֶת-דָּוִד לְמֶלֶךְ עַל-בֵּית יְהוּדָה וַיַּגִּדוּ לְדָוִד לֵאמֹר אַנְשֵׁי יָבֵישׁ גִּלְעָד אֲשֶׁר קָֽבְרוּ אֶת-שָׁאֽוּל׃
And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabesh-gilead were they that buried Saul.
וַיְמָאֵן לָסוּר וַיַּכֵּהוּ אַבְנֵר בְּאַֽחֲרֵי הַֽחֲנִית אֶל-הַחֹמֶשׁ וַתֵּצֵא הַֽחֲנִית מֵאַֽחֲרָיו וַיִּפָּל-שָׁם וַיָּמָת (תחתו) תַּחְתָּיו וַיְהִי כָּל-הַבָּא אֶל-הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר-נָפַל שָׁם עֲשָׂהאֵל וַיָּמֹת וַֽיַּעֲמֹֽדוּ׃
Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
וַֽיִּרְדְּפוּ יוֹאָב וַֽאֲבִישַׁי אַֽחֲרֵי אַבְנֵר וְהַשֶּׁמֶשׁ בָּאָה וְהֵמָּה בָּאוּ עַד-גִּבְעַת אַמָּה אֲשֶׁר עַל-פְּנֵי-גִיחַ דֶּרֶךְ מִדְבַּר גִּבְעֽוֹן׃
Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
וְאַבְנֵר וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו הָֽלְכוּ בָּֽעֲרָבָה כֹּל הַלַּיְלָה הַהוּא וַיַּֽעַבְרוּ אֶת-הַיַּרְדֵּן וַיֵּֽלְכוּ כָּל-הַבִּתְרוֹן וַיָּבֹאוּ מַֽחֲנָֽיִם׃
And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
וּלְשָׁאוּל פִּלֶגֶשׁ וּשְׁמָהּ רִצְפָּה בַת-אַיָּה וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל-אַבְנֵר מַדּוּעַ בָּאתָה אֶל-פִּילֶגֶשׁ אָבִֽי׃
And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father's concubine?
וַיֹּאמֶר טוֹב אֲנִי אֶכְרֹת אִתְּךָ בְּרִית אַךְ דָּבָר אֶחָד אָֽנֹכִי שֹׁאֵל מֵֽאִתְּךָ לֵאמֹר לֹֽא-תִרְאֶה אֶת-פָּנַי כִּי׀ אִם-לִפְנֵי הֱבִֽיאֲךָ אֵת מִיכַל בַּת-שָׁאוּל בְּבֹֽאֲךָ לִרְאוֹת אֶת-פָּנָֽי׃
And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
וַיָּבֹא אַבְנֵר אֶל-דָּוִד חֶבְרוֹן וְאִתּוֹ עֶשְׂרִים אֲנָשִׁים וַיַּעַשׂ דָּוִד לְאַבְנֵר וְלַֽאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר-אִתּוֹ מִשְׁתֶּֽה׃
So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a feast.
וְהִנֵּה עַבְדֵי דָוִד וְיוֹאָב בָּא מֵֽהַגְּדוּד וְשָׁלָל רָב עִמָּם הֵבִיאוּ וְאַבְנֵר אֵינֶנּוּ עִם-דָּוִד בְּחֶבְרוֹן כִּי שִׁלְּחוֹ וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּשָׁלֽוֹם׃
And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from pursuing a troop, and brought in a great spoil with them: but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace.
וְיוֹאָב וְכָל-הַצָּבָא אֲשֶׁר-אִתּוֹ בָּאוּ וַיַּגִּדוּ לְיוֹאָב לֵאמֹר בָּֽא-אַבְנֵר בֶּן-נֵר אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַֽיְשַׁלְּחֵהוּ וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּשָׁלֽוֹם׃
When Joab and all the host that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.
וַיָּבֹא יוֹאָב אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר מֶה עָשִׂיתָה הִנֵּה-בָא אַבְנֵר אֵלֶיךָ לָמָּה-זֶּה שִׁלַּחְתּוֹ וַיֵּלֶךְ הָלֽוֹךְ׃
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?
יָדַעְתָּ אֶת-אַבְנֵר בֶּן-נֵר כִּי לְפַתֹּֽתְךָ בָּא וְלָדַעַת אֶת-מוֹצָֽאֲךָ וְאֶת-(מבואך) מוֹבָאֶךָ וְלָדַעַת אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה עֹשֶֽׂה׃
Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest.
וַיָּבֹא כָל-הָעָם לְהַבְרוֹת אֶת-דָּוִד לֶחֶם בְּעוֹד הַיּוֹם וַיִּשָּׁבַע דָּוִד לֵאמֹר כֹּה יַֽעֲשֶׂה-לִּי אֱלֹהִים וְכֹה יֹסִיף כִּי אִם-לִפְנֵי בֽוֹא-הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ אֶטְעַם-לֶחֶם אוֹ כָל-מְאֽוּמָה׃
And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down.
וְלִיהֽוֹנָתָן בֶּן-שָׁאוּל בֵּן נְכֵה רַגְלָיִם בֶּן-חָמֵשׁ שָׁנִים הָיָה בְּבֹא שְׁמֻעַת שָׁאוּל וִיהֽוֹנָתָן מִֽיִּזְרְעֶאל וַתִּשָּׂאֵהוּ אֹֽמַנְתּוֹ וַתָּנֹס וַיְהִי בְּחָפְזָהּ לָנוּס וַיִּפֹּל וַיִּפָּסֵחַ וּשְׁמוֹ מְפִיבֹֽשֶׁת׃
And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
וַיֵּלְכוּ בְּנֵֽי-רִמּוֹן הַבְּאֵֽרֹתִי רֵכָב וּבַֽעֲנָה וַיָּבֹאוּ כְּחֹם הַיּוֹם אֶל-בֵּית אִישׁ בֹּשֶׁת וְהוּא שֹׁכֵב אֵת מִשְׁכַּב הַֽצָּהֳרָֽיִם׃
And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.
וְהֵנָּה בָּאוּ עַד-תּוֹךְ הַבַּיִת לֹֽקְחֵי חִטִּים וַיַּכֻּהוּ אֶל-הַחֹמֶשׁ וְרֵכָב וּבַֽעֲנָה אָחִיו נִמְלָֽטוּ׃
And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
וַיָּבֹאוּ הַבַּיִת וְהֽוּא-שֹׁכֵב עַל-מִטָּתוֹ בַּֽחֲדַר מִשְׁכָּבוֹ וַיַּכֻּהוּ וַיְמִתֻהוּ וַיָּסִירוּ אֶת-רֹאשׁוֹ וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת-רֹאשׁוֹ וַיֵּֽלְכוּ דֶּרֶךְ הָֽעֲרָבָה כָּל-הַלָּֽיְלָה׃
For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all night.
