H0853–אֵת–et

David said to his men, Gird you on every man his sword. 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 baggage.

But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to Greet our master; and he railed at them.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

It was so, as she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.

אֹתָֽם׃ (אֹתָֽ) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him: and he has returned me evil for good.

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

When Abigail saw David, she hurried, and alighted from her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

She fell at his feet, and said, On me, my lord, on me be the iniquity; and please let your handmaid speak in your ears. Hear the words of your handmaid.

אֵ֖ת 'et “<obj.>”

Please don't let my lord regard this worthless fellow, even Nabal; for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I your handmaid didn't see the young men of my lord, whom you did send.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Though men be risen up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Yahweh your God; and the souls of your enemies, them shall he sling out, as from the hollow of a sling.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֵ֨ת (אֵ֨ת) 'Et “<obj.>”

It shall come to pass, when Yahweh shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and shall have appointed you prince over Israel,

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

that this shall be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. When Yahweh shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember your handmaid.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

For in very deed, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from hurting you, except you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn't have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one man-child.

אֹתָ֑ךְ (אֹתָ֑) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

So David received of her hand that which she had brought him: and he said to her, Go up in peace to your house; behold, I have listened to your voice, and have accepted your person.

אֵ֥ת 'et “<obj.>”

It happened in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

It happened about ten days after, that Yahweh struck Nabal, so that he died.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Yahweh, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil: and the evil-doing of Nabal has Yahweh returned on his own head. David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to him as wife.

David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they became both of them his wives.

וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

David arose, and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were encamped round about him.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then said Abishai to David, God has delivered up your enemy into your hand this day: now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Yahweh forbid that I should put forth my hand against Yahweh's anointed: but now please take the spear that is at his head, and the jar of water, and let us go.

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul's head; and they got them away: and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Yahweh was fallen on them.

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

David said to Abner, Aren't you a [supplied: valiant] man? and who is like you in Israel? why then have you not kept watch over your lord, the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king your lord.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

This thing isn't good that you have done. As Yahweh lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, Yahweh's anointed. Now see where the king's spear is, and the jar of water that was at his head.

וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this your voice, my son David? David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.
