1 Samuel 23:13-26

13Then DavidH1732 and his menH376, 1about sixH8337 hundredH3967, aroseH6965 and departedH3318 from KeilahH7084, and they wentH1980 2whereverH834 they could goH1980. When it was toldH5046 SaulH7586 that DavidH1732 had escapedH4422 from KeilahH7084, he 3gaveH2308 up the pursuitH3318. 14DavidH1732 stayedH3427 in the wildernessH4057 in the strongholdsH4679, and remainedH3427 in the hillH2022 countryH2022 in the wildernessH4057 of 4ZiphH2128. And SaulH7586 soughtH1245 him everyH3605 dayH3117, but 5GodH430 did not deliverH5414 him into his handH3027.

15Now DavidH1732 6becameH7200 awareH7200 that SaulH7586 had comeH3318 out to seekH1245 his lifeH5315 while DavidH1732 was in the wildernessH4057 of ZiphH2128 at HoreshH2793. 16And JonathanH3083, Saul’sH7586 sonH1121, aroseH6965 and wentH1980 to DavidH1732 at HoreshH2793, and 78encouragedH2388H3027 him in GodH430. 17Thus he saidH559 to him, “9Do not be afraidH3372, becauseH3588 the handH3027 of SaulH7586 my fatherH1 will not findH4672 you, and you will be kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 and I will be nextH4932 to you; and 10SaulH7586 my fatherH1 knowsH3045 that alsoH1571.” 18So 11the twoH8147 of them madeH3772 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the LordH3068; and DavidH1732 stayedH3427 at HoreshH2793 while JonathanH3083 wentH1980 to his houseH1004.

19Then 12ZiphitesH2130 cameH5927 up to SaulH7586 at GibeahH1390, sayingH559, “Is DavidH1732 not hidingH5641 with us in the strongholdsH4679 at HoreshH2793, on 13the hillH1389 of HachilahH2444, whichH834 is on the 14southH3225 of 15JeshimonH3452? 20NowH6258 then, O kingH4428, comeH3381 downH3381 according to allH3605 the desireH185 of your soulH5315 to 16doH3381 soH3381; and 17our part shall be to surrenderH5462 him into the king’sH4428 handH3027.” 21SaulH7586 saidH559, “May you be blessedH1288 of the LordH3068, 18for you have hadH2550 compassionH2550 on me. 22GoH1980 nowH4994, makeH3559 moreH5750 sureH3559, and investigateH3045 and seeH7200 his placeH4725 whereH834H8033 his 19hauntH7272 is, and whoH4310 has seenH7200 him thereH8033; for I am toldH559 that he is veryH6191 cunningH6191. 23So lookH7200, and learnH3045 aboutH4480 allH3605 the hidingH4224 placesH4224 whereH834H8033 he hidesH2244 himself and returnH7725 to me with certaintyH3559, and I will goH1980 with you; and ifH518 he is in the landH776, I will searchH2664 him out among allH3605 the thousandsH505 of JudahH3063.”

24Then they aroseH6965 and wentH1980 to ZiphH2128 beforeH6440 SaulH7586. Now DavidH1732 and his menH376 were in the wildernessH4057 of 20MaonH4584, in the ArabahH6160 to the 21southH3225 of 22JeshimonH3452. 25When SaulH7586 and his menH376 wentH1980 to seekH1245 him, they toldH5046 DavidH1732, and he cameH3381 downH3381 to the rockH5553 and stayedH3427 in the wildernessH4057 of MaonH4584. And when SaulH7586 heardH8085 it, he pursuedH7291 DavidH1732 in the wildernessH4057 of MaonH4584. 26SaulH7586 wentH1980 on oneH2088 sideH6654 of the mountainH2022, and DavidH1732 and his menH376 on the otherH2088 sideH6654 of the mountainH2022; and DavidH1732 was hurryingH2648 to getH1980 awayH1980 from SaulH7586, for SaulH7586 and his menH376 23were surroundingH5849 DavidH1732 and his menH376 to seizeH8610 them.
