Then David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go after this band? will I be able to overtake them? And in answer he said, Go after them, for you will certainly overtake them, and get back everything.

So David went, and his six hundred men went with him, and they came to the stream Besor.

And in the fields they saw an Egyptian whom they took to David, and they gave him bread, and he had a meal, and they gave him water for drink;

אֹת֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”ל֥וֹ (וֹ) o “him”וַיַּשְׁקֻ֖הוּ (הוּ) hu “him”

And they gave him part of a cake of figs and some dry grapes; and after the food, his spirit came back to him, for he had had no food or drink for three days and nights.

And David said to him, Whose man are you and where do you come from? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master went on without me because three days back I became ill.

ל֤וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

And David said to him, Will you take me down to this band? And he said, If you give me your oath that you will not put me to death or give me up to my master, I will take you to them.

אֵלָיו֙ (ו֙) v “him”

And when he had taken him down, they saw them all, seated about on all sides, feasting and drinking among all the mass of goods which they had taken from the land of the Philistines and the land of Judah.

וַיֹּ֣רִדֵ֔הוּ (הוּ) hu “him”

And David came to the two hundred men, who because of weariness had not gone with him, but were waiting at the stream Besor: and they went out, meeting David and the people who were with him; and when they came near them, they said, How are you?

אִתּ֑וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

And the fight was going badly for Saul, and the archers came across him, and he was wounded by the archers.

And when his servant saw that Saul was dead, he did the same, and was united with him in death.

עִמּֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “him”

And when the people of Jabesh-gilead had news of what the Philistines had done to Saul,

אֵלָ֔יו (ו) v “him”

And David said to him, Where have you come from? And he said, I have come in flight from the tents of Israel.

לוֹ֙ (וֹ֙) o “him”אֵלָ֔יו (ו) v “him”

And David said to him, How did things go? Give me the news. And in answer he said, The people have gone in flight from the fight, and a great number of them are dead; and Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.

אֵלָ֥יו (ו) v “him”

And David said to the young man who gave him the news, Why are you certain that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?

ל֑וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

And the young man said, I came by chance to Mount Gilboa, and I saw Saul supporting himself on his spear; and the war-carriages and horsemen overtook him.

ל֗וֹ (וֹ) o “him”הִדְבִּקֻֽהוּ׃ (הוּ) hu “him”

And looking back, he saw me and gave a cry to me. And answering him I said, Here am I.

אַחֲרָ֖יו (ו) v “him”

And he said to me, Who are you? And I said, I am an Amalekite.

אֵלָ֔יו (ו) v “him”

So I put my foot on him and gave him his death-blow, because I was certain that he would not go on living after his fall: and I took the crown from his head and the band from his arm, and I have them here for my lord.

עָלָיו֙ (ו֙) v “him”וַאֲמֹ֣תְתֵ֔הוּ (הוּ) hu “him”

Then David gave way to bitter grief, and so did all the men who were with him:

אִתּֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “him”

And David said to the young man who had given him the news, Where do you come from? And he said, I am the son of a man from a strange land; I am an Amalekite.

ל֔וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

And David said to him, Had you no fear of stretching out your hand to put to death the one marked with the holy oil?

אֵלָ֖יו (ו) v “him”

And David sent for one of his young men and said, Go near and put an end to him. And he put him to death.

בּ֑וֹ (וֹ) o “him”וַיַּכֵּ֖הוּ (הוּ) hu “him”

And David said to him, May your blood be on your head; for your mouth has given witness against you, saying, I have put to death the man marked with the holy oil.

אֵלָיו֙ (ו֙) v “him”

Now after this, David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go up into any of the towns of Judah? And the Lord said to him, Go up. And David said, Where am I to go? And he said, To Hebron.

אֵלָ֖יו (ו) v “him”

And David took all his men with him, every man with his family: and they were living in the towns round Hebron.
