²⁵ And 2532 she brought it 4374 before 1799 Saul, and 2532 before 1799 3588 his 1473 servants, 3816 and 2532 they ate. 2068 And 2532 rising up 450 they went forth 565 3588 that 1565 night. 3571

¹ And 2532 [²gathered 4867 ¹the 3588 ¹Philistines] 246 all 3956 3588 their 1473 camps 3925 unto 1519 Aphek. And 2532 Israel camped in 1722 En-dor, the one 3588 in 1722 Jezreel.

² And 2532 the 3588 satraps of the 3588 Philistines 246 came 3899 by 1519 the hundreds and 2532 thousands. 5505 And 2532 David and 2532 3588 his 1473 men 435 came near 3899 at the 1909 last 2078 with 3326 Achish.

³ And 2532 [⁵said 2036 ¹the 3588 ²satraps ³of the 3588 ⁴Philistines], 246 Who are 5100 3588 these traveling? 1279 And 2532 Achish said 2036 to 4314 the 3588 satraps of the 3588 Philistines, 246 Is not 3756 this 3778 David, the 3588 servant 1401 of Saul king 935 of Israel, who 3739 has been 1096 with 3326 me 1473 some days 2250 this 3778 second 1208 year. 2094 And 2532 I have not 3756 found 2147 in 1722 him 1473 any fault 3762 from 575 which 3739 days 2250 he fell 4098 in with 4314 me 1473 until 2193 3588 this 3778 day. 2250

⁴ And 2532 [⁵were enraged 2373 ⁶over 1909 ⁷him 1473 ¹the 3588 ²satraps ³of the 3588 ⁴Philistines], 246 and 2532 they say 3004 to him, 1473 Return 654 the 3588 man! 435 and 2532 let him return 654 unto 1519 3588 his 1473 people 5117 of which 3739 you placed 2525 him 1473 there, 1563 and 2532 do not 3361 let him come 2064 with 3326 us 1473 to 1519 the 3588 battle, 4171 and 2532 let him not 3361 become 1096 a plotter in the 3588 camp! 3925 And 2532 how 5100 shall 1722 he be reconciled to 3588 his 1473 master? 2962 Will it not 3780 be 1722 with the 3588 heads 2776 3588 of those men?

⁵ Is this not David, which 3739 they led in 1722 dances, 5525 saying, 3004 Saul struck 3960 1722 his 1473 thousands, 5505 and 2532 David 1722 his ten thousands?

⁶ And 2532 Achish called 2564 3588 David, and 2532 said 2036 to him, 1473 As the lord lives, know that 3754 you are upright and 2532 good 18 in 1722 my 1473 eyes, 3788 and 2532 so is 3588 your 1473 exiting 1841 and 2532 3588 your 1473 entering 1529 with 3326 me 1473 in 1722 the 3588 camp. 3925 For 3754 I did not 3756 find 2147 against 2596 you 1473 an evil 2549 from 575 which 3739 day 2250 you came 2240 to 4314 me 1473 until 2193 3588 this 3778 day. 2250 But 2532 in 1722 the eyes 3788 of the 3588 satraps [²not 3756 ³good 18 ¹you are]. 1473

⁷ And 2532 now, 3568 return 390 and 2532 go 4198 in 1519 peace! 1515 and 2532 in no way shall you do 4160 evil 2549 in 1722 the eyes 3788 of the 3588 satraps of the 3588 Philistines. 246

⁸ And 2532 David said 2036 to 4314 Achish, What 5100 have I done 4160 to you? 1473 And 2532 what did 5100 you find 2147 in 1722 3588 your 1473 servant 1401 from 575 which 3739 day 2250 I was before 1799 you, 1473 and 2532 until 2193 this 3778 day, 2250 that 3754 in no way I should come 2064 to wage war against 4170 the 3588 enemies 2190 3588 of my master the 3588 king? 935

⁹ And 2532 Achish answered 611 and 2532 said 2036 to 4314 David, I know 1492 that 3754 you are good in 1722 my 1473 eyes, 3788 as 2531 an angel 32 of God, 2316 but 235 the 3588 satraps of the 3588 Philistines 246 say, 3004 He shall not 3756 come 2240 with 3326 us 1473 to 1519 war. 4171

¹⁰ And 2532 now, 3568 rise early 3719 in the morning, 4404 you 1473 and 2532 the 3588 servants 3816 3588 of your master, the 3588 ones having come 2240 with 3326 you, 1473 and 2532 go 4198 to 1519 the 3588 place 5117 where 3739 I placed 2525 you 1473 there! 1563 And 2532 you rise early 3719 in 1722 the 3588 journey, 3598 and 2532 when it gives light 5461 to you 1473 then 2532 go! 4198

¹¹ And 2532 David rose early, he 1473 and 2532 3588 his 1473 men 435 3588 to go forth 565 in the morning, 4404 and 2532 to guard 5442 the 3588 land 1093 of the 3588 Philistines. 246 And 2532 the 3588 Philistines 246 ascended 305 to wage war 4170 against 1909 Israel.

30

¹ And 2532 it came to pass 1096 in the entering 1525 of David and 2532 3588 of his men 3588 to Ziklag, on the 3588 [²day 2250 3588 ¹third], 5154 that 2532 Amalek made an attack 2007 upon 1909 the 3588 south, 3558 and 2532 upon 1909 3588 Ziklag. And 2532 it struck 3960 3588 Ziklag, and 2532 burnt it 1473 with 1722 fire. 4442

² And 2532 the 3588 women, 1135 and 2532 all 3956 the ones 3588 in 1722 it, 1473 from 575 small 3397 unto 2193 great 3173 they did not 3756 put to death, 2289 man 435 nor 3761 woman, 1135 but 235 they took them captive, 162 and 2532 went forth 565 in 1519 3588 their 1473 way. 3598

³ And 2532 [⁴came 2064 ¹David ²and 2532 3588 ³his 1473 men] 435 unto 1519 the 3588 city, 4172 and, 2532 behold, 2400 it was burnt with 1722 fire; 4442 3588 and 1161 their 1473 wives, 1135 and 2532 3588 their 1473 sons, 5207 and 2532 3588 their 1473 daughters, 2364 were taken captive. 162

⁴ And 2532 [⁴lifted 142 ¹David ²and 2532 3588 ³his men] 435 3588 their 1473 voice, 5456 and 2532 they wept 2799 until 2193 whenever 3748 there was no strength 2479 in 1722 them 1473 3588 to weep 2799 any longer. 2089

⁵ And 2532 both 297 the 3588 wives 1135 of David were captured -- 162 Ahinoam the 3588 Jezreelitess, and 2532 Abigail the 3588 wife 1135 of Nabal the 3588 Carmelite.

⁶ And 2532 David was afflicted very much, 4970 for 3754 [³said 2036 ¹the 3588 ²people] 2992 to stone 3036 him, 1473 for 3754 [⁴were in severe pain ⁵of soul 5590 ¹all 3956 ²the 3588 ³people], 2992 each 1538 over 1909 3588 his 1473 sons, 5207 and 2532 over 1909 3588 his 1473 daughters. 2364 And 2532 David was fortified by 1722 the lord 2962 his 1473 God. 2316

⁷ And 2532 David said 2036 to 4314 Abiathar the 3588 priest, 2409 son 5207 of Ahimelech, Lead forward 4317 the 3588 ephod. And 2532 Abiathar led forward the 3588 ephod to 4314 David.

⁸ And 2532 David asked 1905 through 1223 the 3588 lord , 2962 saying, 3004 Shall 1487 I pursue 2614 after 3694 3588 this 3778 troop? Shall 1487 I overtake 2638 them? 1473 And 2532 [²said 2036 ³to him 1473 ¹ the lord ], 2962 Pursue! 2614 for 3754 in overtaking 2638 you shall overtake 2638 them, 1473 and 2532 in rescuing 1807 you shall rescue. 1807

⁹ And 2532 David went, 4198 he 1473 and 2532 the 3588 six hundred 1812 men 435 with 3326 him. 1473 And 2532 they come 2064 unto 2193 the 3588 rushing stream 5493 of Besor, and 2532 the 3588 extra ones 4053 stopped. 2476

¹⁰ And 2532 [⁴pursued 2614 ¹about 1722 ²four hundred 5071 ³men], 435 [⁴stood ¹and 1161 ²two hundred 1250 ³men], 435 who 3748 stayed 2523 on the other side 4008 of the 3588 rushing stream 5493 3588 Besor.

¹¹ And 2532 they find 2147 an Egyptian man in 1722 the field, 68 and 2532 they take 2983 him, 1473 and 2532 bring 71 him 1473 to 4314 David, and 2532 give 1325 to him 1473 bread 740 and 2532 he ate, 2068 and 2532 they gave [³to drink 4222 ¹him 1473 ²water]. 5204

¹² And 2532 they give 1325 to him 1473 a piece 2801 of dried cluster of figs, and 2532 two 1417 dried grape clusters ; and 2532 he ate, 2068 and 2532 [²stood up 2525 3588 ¹his 1473 spirit] 4151 in 1722 him. 1473 For 3754 he had not 3756 eaten 977 bread, 740 and 2532 had not 3756 drank 4095 water, 5204 three 5140 days 2250 and 2532 three 5140 nights. 3571

¹³ And 2532 [²said 2036 ³to him 1473 ¹David], Who 5100 are you, 1473 and 2532 from what place 4159 are you? And 2532 [⁴said 2036 3588 ³servant-lad 3808 ¹the 3588 ²Egyptian], I 1473 am a servant 1401 of a man, 435 an Amalekite; and 2532 [²left 2641 ³me 1473 3588 ¹my 1473 master] 2962 for 3754 I was unwell, today 4594 being three days.

¹⁴ And 2532 we 1473 made an attack 2007 upon 1909 the 3588 south 3558 of the 3588 Cherethites, and 2532 upon 1909 the ones 3588 of the 3588 part of Judea, and 2532 to the 1909 south 3558 of Caleb; and 2532 3588 Ziklag we burnt in 1722 fire. 4442

¹⁵ And 2532 [²said 2036 ³to him 1473 ¹David], Will 1487 you lead 2609 me 1473 to 1909 3588 this 3778 troop? And 2532 he said, 2036 If you swear by an oath 3660 indeed 1211 to me 1473 according to 2596 3588 God 2316 to not 3361 put me to death, and 2532 not 3361 to deliver 3860 me 1473 into 1519 the hands 5495 3588 of my master, then 2532 I will lead 2609 you 1473 to 1909 3588 this 3778 troop.

¹⁶ And 2532 he led 2609 him. 1473 And 2532 behold, 2400 these 3778 were dispersed upon 1909 the face 4383 of all 3956 the 3588 land, 1093 eating 2068 and 2532 drinking, 4095 and 2532 celebrating 1858 over 1909 all 3956 the 3588 [²spoils 4661 3588 ¹great] 3173 which 3739 they took 2983 from out of 1537 the land 1093 of the Philistines, 246 and 2532 from out of 1537 the land 1093 of Judah.

¹⁷ And 2532 [²came 2064 ³upon 1909 ⁴them 1473 ¹David], and 2532 he struck 3960 them 1473 from 575 the morning star and 2532 until 2193 evening even 2532 of the 3588 next day. 1887 And 2532 [⁴was not preserved ²of 1537 ³them 1473 ¹a man], 435 but 3754 only four hundred 5071 boys 3808 who 3739 mounted 1910 upon 1909 camels 2574 and 2532 fled. 5343

¹⁸ And 2532 David removed 851 all 3956 which 3739 [³took 2983 ¹the 3588 ²Amalekites]; and 2532 both 297 3588 his 1473 wives 1135 he rescued. 1807

¹⁹ And 2532 nothing 3756 was perished to them 1473 from 575 small 3397 and 2532 unto 2193 great, 3173 and 2532 unto 2193 sons 5207 and 2532 daughters, 2364 2532 from 575 the 3588 spoils 4661 and 2532 unto 2193 all 3956 what 3739 they took 2983 of theirs -- 1473 all the things David returned. 1994

²⁰ And 2532 David took 2983 all 3956 the 3588 flocks 4168 and 2532 the 3588 herds, and 2532 led them away 520 before 1715 the 3588 spoils. 4661 And 2532 concerning 3588 those 1565 spoils 4661 it was said, 3004 These are 3778 the 3588 spoils 4661 of David.

²¹ And 2532 David came 3854 to 4314 the 3588 two hundred 1250 men 435 (the ones 3588 being left behind 5275 of the troop 3588 going 4198 after 3694 David) that 3739 stayed 2523 at 1722 the 3588 rushing stream 5493 of Besor. And 2532 they came forth 1831 to 1519 meet 529 David, and 2532 to 1519 meet 529 the 3588 people 2992 of the one 3588 with 3326 him. 1473 And 2532 David came forward unto 2193 of the 3588 people, 2992 and 2532 he asked 2065 them 1473 the greetings 3588 for 1519 peace. 1515

²² And 2532 [⁶responded 611 ¹every 3956 ⁵man 435 ²pestilent 3061 ³and 2532 ⁴wicked] 4190 of the 3588 men 435 3588 warriors 3588 going 4198 with 3326 David. And 2532 they said 2036 that, 3754 They did not 3756 pursue 2614 with 3326 us, 1473 we shall not 3756 give 1325 to them 1473 from out of 1537 the 3588 spoils 4661 which 3739 we rescued, 1807 but [²each 1538 3588 ⁴his 1473 wife 1135 ⁵and 2532 3588 ⁶his 1473 children 5043 ¹let ³take away], 520 and 2532 let them return! 654

²³ And 2532 David said, 2036 You shall not 3756 do 4160 [²my 1473 brothers 80 ¹thus] 3779 after 3326 the 3588 delivering up of the enemy 3860 by the 3588 lord 2962 to us, 1473 and 2532 guarded 5442 us, 1473 and 2532 the lord delivered up the 3588 troop, the 3588 one coming 1904 upon 1909 us, 1473 into 1519 our 1473 hands. 5495

²⁴ And 2532 who 5100 will heed 1873 [²your 1473 ³words 3056 ¹these], 3778 for 3754 [²not 3756 ³inferior 2276 ⁴to us 1473 ¹they are]; for 1360 according to 2596 the 3588 portion 3310 of the 3588 one going down 2597 to 1519 3588 war, 4171 so 3779 shall be the 3588 portion 3310 of the 3588 one staying 2521 by 1909 the 3588 equipment; 4632 according to 2596 the 3588 same 1473 they shall be portioned. 3307

²⁵ And 2532 it came to pass 1096 from 575 3588 that 1565 day 2250 and 2532 forward, 1883 that 2532 it became 1096 for 1519 an order and 2532 for 1519 an ordinance 1345 3588 in Israel until 2193 3588 this 3778 day. 2250

²⁶ And 2532 David came 2064 to 1519 Ziklag, and 2532 he sent 649 to the 3588 elders 4245 of Judah, and 2532 to 3588 his 1473 neighbors 4139 of the 3588 spoils, 4661 saying, 3004 Behold, 2400 a blessing 2129 to you 1473 from 575 the 3588 spoils 4661 of the 3588 enemies 2190 of the lord ; 2962

²⁷ to the ones 3588 in 1722 Beth-el, and 2532 to the ones 3588 in 1722 Ramoth of the south, 3558 and 2532 to the ones 3588 in Jattir,

31

¹ And 2532 the 3588 Philistines 246 waged war 4170 against 1909 Israel. And 2532 [⁴fled 5343 ¹the 3588 ²men 435 ³of Israel] from 1537 the face 4383 of the 3588 Philistines, 246 and 2532 they fell 4098 slain in 1722 3588 mount 3735 Gilboa.

² And 2532 [³joined up against ¹the 3588 ²Philistines] 246 3588 Saul and 2532 3588 his 1473 sons. 5207 And 2532 [³struck down 5180 ¹the 3588 ² the Philistines] 246 3588 Jonathan, and 2532 3588 Abinadab, and 2532 3588 Melchi-shua, sons 5207 of Saul.

⁴ And 2532 Saul said 2036 to 4314 the 3588 one carrying 142 3588 his 1473 weapons, 4632 Unsheathe 4685 3588 your 1473 broadsword, 4501 and 2532 pierce me 1473 with 1722 it! 1473 lest 3379 [²should come 2064 3588 ¹these 3778 uncircumcised] 564 and 2532 should pierce me, 1473 and 2532 should mock 1702 against 1722 me. 1473 But 2532 [⁴did not 3756 ⁵want to 1014 ¹the one 3588 ²carrying 142 3588 ³his 1473 weapons], 4632 for 3754 he feared 5399 exceedingly. 4970 And 2532 Saul took 2983 3588 his 1473 broadsword, 4501 and 2532 fell 1968 upon 1909 it. 1473
