1 Samuel 23:19-29
19Then cameH5927 upH5927 the ZiphitesH2130 to SaulH7586 to GibeahH1390, sayingH559, Doth notH3808 DavidH1732 hideH5641 himselfH413 with usH413 in the strong holds in the wood, in the hillH1389 of HachilahH2444, whichH834 is on the southH3225 of the desertH3452? 20NowH6258 therefore, O kingH4428, comeH3381 downH3381, accordingH3027 to allH3605 the desireH5315 of thy soulH5315 to comeH3381 downH3381; and our partH3027 shall be to deliverH5462 him upH5462 intoH3027 the king’sH4428 handH3027. 21And SaulH7586 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be ye of the LORDH3068; for ye have had compassionH2550 on meH5921. 22GoH1961, I prayH4994 youH834, makeH3045 yet moreH5750 sureH3045, and knowH3045 and seeH7200 his placeH4725 whereH834 his hauntH7272 is, and who hath seenH7200 him there: for it is toldH559 meH413 that he dealeth veryH6191 subtilly. 23SeeH7200 therefore, and takeH7725 knowledgeH3045 of allH3605 the lurking placesH3605 whereH834 he hideth himselfH3045, and comeH1980 ye againH7725 to meH413 of a certaintyH3045, and I will goH1980 with youH834: and it shall comeH1980 to passH1961, ifH518 he be in the landH776, that I will searchH2664 him outH3045 among allH3605 the thousandsH505 of JudahH3063. 24And they aroseH6965, and wentH6965 to ZiphH2128 beforeH6440 SaulH7586: but DavidH1732 and his menH376 were in the wildernessH4057 of MaonH4584, in the ArabahH6160 on the southH3225 of the desertH6160. 25And SaulH7586 and his menH376 wentH3381 to seekH1245 him. And they toldH5046 DavidH1732: wherefore he cameH3381 downH3381 to the rockH5553, and abodeH3427 in the wildernessH4057 of MaonH4584. And when SaulH7586 heardH8085 that, he pursuedH7291 afterH310 DavidH1732 in the wildernessH4057 of MaonH4584. 26And SaulH7586 wentH413 on this sideH6654 of the mountainH2022, and DavidH1732 and his menH376 on that sideH6654 of the mountainH2022: and DavidH1732 madeH1961 hasteH2648 to get awayH2648 for fear of SaulH7586; for SaulH7586 and his menH376 compassed DavidH1732 and his menH376 round aboutH1961 to takeH1961 them. 27But there cameH935 a messengerH4397 unto SaulH7586, sayingH559, HasteH4116 thee, and comeH935; for the PhilistinesH6430 have madeH6584 a raidH6584 uponH5921 the landH776. 28SoH3651 SaulH7586 returnedH7725 from pursuingH7291 afterH310 DavidH1732, and wentH7725 againstH5921 the PhilistinesH6430: therefore they calledH7121 that placeH4725 Sela-hammahlekoth. 29And David went up from thence, and dwelt in the strong holds of En-gedi.
