1Now 1whenH3512 SaulH7586 returnedH7725 from pursuingH310 the PhilistinesH6430, 2he was toldH5046, sayingH559, “BeholdH2009, DavidH1732 is in the wildernessH4057 of EngediH5872.”
2Then 3SaulH7586 tookH3947 threeH7969 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376 from allH3605 IsraelH3478 and wentH1980 to seekH1245 DavidH1732 and his menH376 in frontH6440 of the RocksH6697 of the WildH3277 GoatsH3277.
3He cameH935 to the sheepfoldsH6629H1448 on the wayH1870, whereH8033 thereH8033 was a caveH4631; and SaulH7586 4wentH935 in to 5relieveH5526H7272 himself. Now 6DavidH1732 and his menH376 were sittingH3427 in the innerH3411 recessesH3411 of the caveH4631.
4The menH376 of DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009, 7this is the dayH3117 of whichH834 the LordH3068 saidH559 to you, ‘BeholdH2009; 8I am about to giveH5414 your enemyH340 into your handH3027, and you shall doH6213 to him as it seemsH3190 goodH3190 9to you.’” Then DavidH1732 aroseH6965 and cutH3772 offH3772 the edgeH3671 of Saul’sH7586 robeH4598 secretlyH3909.
