1 Samuel 23:14-18

14DavidH1732 stayedH3427 in the wildernessH4057 in the strongholdsH4679, and remainedH3427 in the hillH2022 countryH2022 in the wildernessH4057 of 1ZiphH2128. And SaulH7586 searchedH1245 for him everyH3605 dayH3117, but 2GodH430 did not handH3027H5414 him overH5414 to him.

15Now DavidH1732 sawH7200 that SaulH7586 had comeH3318 outH3318 to seekH1245 his lifeH5315 while DavidH1732 was in the wildernessH4057 of ZiphH2128, at HoreshH2793. 16And JonathanH3083, Saul’sH7586 sonH1121, setH6965 outH6965 and wentH1980 to DavidH1732 at HoreshH2793, and 34encouragedH2388H3027 him in GodH430. 17He saidH559 to him, “5Do not beH3372 afraidH3372, becauseH3588 the handH3027 of SaulH7586 my fatherH1 will not findH4672 you, and you will beH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478, and I will be secondH4932 inH4932 commandH4932 to you; and 6SaulH7586 my fatherH1 knowsH3045 that asH1571 wellH1571.” 18So 7the twoH8147 of them madeH3772 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the LordH3068; and DavidH1732 stayedH3427 at HoreshH2793, while JonathanH3083 wentH1980 to his houseH1004.
