1 Samuel 23:7-23

7And it was toldH5046 SaulH7586 that DavidH1732 was comeH935 to KeilahH7084. And SaulH7586 saidH559, GodH430 hath deliveredH5234 him into mine handH3027; for he is shut inH5462, by enteringH935 into a townH5892 that hath gatesH1817 and barsH1280. 8And SaulH7586 calledH8085 all the peopleH5971 togetherH8085 to warH4421, to go downH3381 to KeilahH7084, to besiegeH6696 DavidH1732 and his menH582.

9And DavidH1732 knewH3045 that SaulH7586 secretly practisedH2790 mischiefH7451 against him; and he saidH559 to AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, Bring hitherH5066 the ephodH646. 10Then saidH559 DavidH1732, O YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, thy servantH5650 hath certainlyH8085 heardH8085 that SaulH7586 seekethH1245 to comeH935 to KeilahH7084, to destroyH7843 the cityH5892 for my sake. 11Will the menH1167 of KeilahH7084 deliver me upH5462 into his handH3027? will SaulH7586 come downH3381, as thy servantH5650 hath heardH8085? O YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I beseech thee, tellH5046 thy servantH5650. And YhwhH3068 saidH559, He will come downH3381. 12Then saidH559 DavidH1732, Will the menH1167 of KeilahH7084 deliverH5462 me and my menH582 into the handH3027 of SaulH7586? And YhwhH3068 saidH559, They will deliver thee upH5462.1

13Then DavidH1732 and his menH582, which were about sixH8337 hundredH376H3967, aroseH6965 and departedH3318 out of KeilahH7084, and wentH1980 whithersoeverH834 they could goH1980. And it was toldH5046 SaulH7586 that DavidH1732 was escapedH4422 from KeilahH7084; and he forbareH2308 to go forthH3318. 14And DavidH1732 abodeH3427 in the wildernessH4057 in strong holdsH4679, and remainedH3427 in a mountainH2022 in the wildernessH4057 of ZiphH2128. And SaulH7586 soughtH1245 him every dayH3117, but GodH430 deliveredH5414 him not into his handH3027. 15And DavidH1732 sawH7200 that SaulH7586 was come outH3318 to seekH1245 his lifeH5315: and DavidH1732 was in the wildernessH4057 of ZiphH2128 in a woodH2793.

16And JonathanH3083 Saul’sH7586 sonH1121 aroseH6965, and wentH3212 to DavidH1732 into the woodH2793, and strengthenedH2388 his handH3027 in GodH430. 17And he saidH559 unto him, FearH3372 not: for the handH3027 of SaulH7586 my fatherH1 shall not findH4672 thee; and thou shalt be kingH4427 over IsraelH3478, and I shall be nextH4932 unto thee; and that also SaulH7586 my fatherH1 knowethH3045. 18And they twoH8147 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068: and DavidH1732 abodeH3427 in the woodH2793, and JonathanH3083 wentH1980 to his houseH1004.

19Then came upH5927 the ZiphitesH2130 to SaulH7586 to GibeahH1390, sayingH559, Doth not DavidH1732 hideH5641 himself with us in strong holdsH4679 in the woodH2793, in the hillH1389 of HachilahH2444, which is on the southH3225 of JeshimonH3452?23 20Now therefore, O kingH4428, come downH3381 according to all the desireH185 of thy soulH5315 to come downH3381; and our part shall be to deliverH5462 him into the king’sH4428 handH3027. 21And SaulH7586 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be ye of YhwhH3068; for ye have compassionH2550 on me. 22GoH3212, I pray you, prepareH3559 yet, and knowH3045 and seeH7200 his placeH4725 where his hauntH7272 is, and who hath seenH7200 him there: for it is toldH559 me that he dealeth veryH6191 subtillyH6191.4 23SeeH7200 therefore, and take knowledgeH3045 of all the lurking placesH4224 where he hidethH2244 himself, and come ye againH7725 to me with the certaintyH3559, and I will goH1980 with you: and it shall come to pass, if he beH3426 in the landH776, that I will searchH2664 him out throughout all the thousandsH505 of JudahH3063.
