David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring here the ephod.

שָׁא֖וּל sha.'Ul “Saul”

Then said David, O Yahweh, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.

שָׁא֖וּל sha.'Ul “Saul”

Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? Yahweh, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant. Yahweh said, He will come down.

שָׁא֗וּל sha.'Ul “Saul”

Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver up to me and my men into the hand of Saul? Yahweh said, They will deliver you up.

שָׁא֑וּל sha.'Ul “Saul”

Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went wherever they could go. It was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he gave up going there.

וּלְשָׁא֣וּל (שָׁא֣וּל) sha.'Ul “Saul”

David abode in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill-country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God didn't deliver him into his hand.

שָׁאוּל֙ sha.'Ul “Saul”

David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the wood.

שָׁא֖וּל sha.'Ul “Saul”

Jonathan, Saul's son, arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.

שָׁא֔וּל sha.'Ul “Saul”

He said to him, Don't be afraid; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you; and you shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you; and that also Saul my father knows.

Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doesn't David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?

שָׁא֔וּל sha.'Ul “Saul”

Saul said, Blessed be you of Yahweh; for you have had compassion on me.

שָׁא֔וּל sha.'Ul “Saul”

They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.

שָׁא֑וּל sha.'Ul “Saul”

Saul and his men went to seek him. They told David: why he came down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard [supplied: that], he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.

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 David and his men round about to take them.

But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste you, and come; for the Philistines have made a raid on the land.

שָׁא֖וּל sha.'Ul “Saul”

So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela Hammahlekoth.

שָׁא֗וּל sha.'Ul “Saul”

It happened, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of En Gedi.

שָׁא֔וּל sha.'Ul “Saul”

Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild goats.

שָׁא֗וּל sha.'Ul “Saul”

He came to the sheep pens by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet. Now David and his men were abiding in the innermost parts of the cave.

שָׁא֖וּל sha.'Ul “Saul”

The men of David said to him, Behold, the day of which Yahweh said to you, Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe secretly.

לְשָׁא֖וּל (שָׁא֖וּל) sha.'Ul “Saul”

It happened afterward, that David's heart struck him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.

לְשָׁאֽוּל׃ (שָׁאֽוּל) sha.'Ul “Saul”

So David checked his men with these words, and didn't allow them to rise against Saul. Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.

שָׁא֑וּל sha.'Ul “Saul”וְשָׁא֛וּל (שָׁא֛וּל) sha.'Ul “Saul”

David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and did obeisance.

שָׁא֛וּל sha.'Ul “Saul”שָׁאוּל֙ sha.'Ul “Saul”

David said to Saul, Why listen you to men's words, saying, Behold, David seeks your hurt?

לְשָׁא֔וּל (שָׁא֔וּל) sha.'Ul “Saul”

It came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, Is this your voice, my son David? Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
