1 Samuel 26:13-25

13And DavidH1732 went over to the otherH5676 sideH5676, and stoodH5975 on the topH7218 of a hillH2022 afarH7350 off; a greatH7227 space [being] between them. 14And DavidH1732 cried to the peopleH5971, and to AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, sayingH559, Answerest thou not, AbnerH74? Then AbnerH74 answered and saidH559, Who art thou that criest to the kingH4428? 15And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbnerH74, Art not thou a manH376? and who is likeH3644 to thee in IsraelH3478? and whyH4100 hast thou not guardedH8104 thy lordH113 the kingH4428? for oneH259 of the peopleH5971 cameH935 in to destroyH7843 the kingH4428 thy lordH113. 16This thingH1697 is not goodH2896 which thou hast done. As Jehovah liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not guardedH8104 your masterH113, Jehovah's anointedH4899. And nowH6258 seeH7200 whereH834 the king's spearH2595 is, and the cruse of waterH4325 that was at his headH4763. 17And SaulH7586 knew David's voiceH6963, and saidH559, Is this thy voiceH6963, my sonH1121 DavidH1732? And DavidH1732 saidH559, It is my voiceH6963, my lordH113, O kingH4428. 18And he saidH559, WhyH4100 does my lordH113 thus pursueH7291 after his servantH5650? for what have I done? or what evilH7451 is in my handH3027? 19And nowH6258, I pray thee, let my lord the kingH4428 hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of his servantH5650. If Jehovah have moved thee against me, let him accept an oblation; but if the sonsH1121 of menH120, cursedH779 be they before Jehovah; for they have drivenH1644 me out this dayH3117 from adhering to the inheritanceH5159 of Jehovah, sayingH559, Go, serveH5647 otherH312 1godsH430. 20And nowH6258, let not my bloodH1818 fallH5307 to the earthH776 far from the faceH6440 of Jehovah; for the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 is comeH3318 out to seekH1245 a single fleaH6550, as when they hunt a partridgeH7124 on the mountainsH2022. 21And SaulH7586 saidH559, I have sinnedH2398: returnH7725, my sonH1121 DavidH1732; for I will no more do thee harmH7489, because my lifeH5315 was preciousH3365 in thine eyesH5869 this dayH3117: behold, I have actedH5528 foolishlyH5528, and have erredH7686 exceedinglyH3966. 22And DavidH1732 answered and saidH559, Behold the king's spearH2595, and let oneH259 of the youngH5288 menH5288 come over and fetch it. 23And Jehovah will render to every manH376 his righteousnessH6666 and his faithfulnessH530; for Jehovah gaveH5414 thee into [my] handH3027 this dayH3117, and I wouldH14 not stretchH7971 forthH7971 my handH3027 against Jehovah's anointedH4899. 24And behold, as thy lifeH5315 was highly esteemed this dayH3117 in mine eyesH5869, soH3651 let my lifeH5315 be highly esteemed in the eyesH5869 of Jehovah, that he may deliverH5337 me out of all distressH6869. 25And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, BlessedH1288 be thou, my sonH1121 DavidH1732: thou shalt certainly do [great things], and shalt certainly prevailH3201. And DavidH1732 wentH7725 on his wayH1870, and SaulH7586 returnedH7725 to his placeH4725.
