1 Samuel 23:14-18

14And DavidH1732 stayedH3427 in the wildernessH4057 strongholdsH4679H3427 and in the hill countryH2022 of the WildernessH4057 of ZiphH2128. DayH3605 after dayH3117 SaulH7586 searched for himH1245, but GodH430 would notH3808 deliverH5414 David into his handH3027.

15While DavidH1732 was in HoreshH2793 in the WildernessH4057 of ZiphH2128, heH1732 sawH7200 thatH3588 SaulH7586 had come outH3318 to takeH1245 his lifeH5315. 16AndH6965 Saul’sH7586 sonH1121 JonathanH3083 cameH1980 toH413 DavidH1732 in HoreshH2793 and strengthenedH2388 his handH3027 in GodH430, 17sayingH559H413, “Do notH408 be afraidH3372, forH3588 my fatherH1 SaulH7586 will neverH3808 lay a hand onH4672 youH3027. And youH859 will be kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478, and I willH595 beH1961 your second-in-commandH4932. EvenH1571 my fatherH1 SaulH7586 knowsH3045 this is trueH3651.”

18So the twoH8147 of them madeH3772 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. And DavidH1732 remainedH3427 in HoreshH2793, while JonathanH3083 wentH1980 homeH1004.
