1 Samuel 29

Revised Version 1895

1Now the PhilistinesH6430 gatheredH6908 togetherH6908 allH3605 their hosts to AphekH663: and the IsraelitesH3478 pitchedH2583 by the fountain whichH834 is in JezreelH3157. 2And the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 passedH5674 on by hundredsH3967, and by thousandsH505: and DavidH1732 and his menH376 passedH5674 on in the rearward with AchishH397. 3Then saidH559 the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430, WhatH4100 doH4100 theseH428 HebrewsH5680 hereH2088? And AchishH397 saidH559 unto the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430, Is notH3808 this DavidH1732, the servantH5650 of SaulH7586 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, whichH834 hath been with meH413 theseH428 daysH3117 or theseH428 yearsH8141, and I have foundH4672 noH3808 faultH3972 in him sinceH834 he fellH5307 awayH5307 unto meH413 unto this dayH3117? 4But the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 were wroth with him; and the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559 unto him, MakeH7521 the manH376 returnH7725, that he may goH3381 backH7725 to his placeH4725 whereH834 thou hast appointedH6485 him, and letH3381 him notH3808 goH3381 downH3381 with usH413 to battleH4421, lest in the battleH4421 he becomeH1961 an adversaryH7854 to usH413: for wherewith should this fellowH376 reconcile himselfH413 unto his lordH113? should it notH3808 be with the headsH7218 of theseH2088 menH376? 5Is notH3808 this DavidH1732, of whomH834 they sang one to anotherH2088 in dancesH4246, sayingH559, SaulH7586 hath slainH5221 his thousandsH505, and DavidH1732 his tenH7233 thousandsH505? 6Then AchishH397 calledH7121 DavidH1732, and saidH559 unto him, As the LORDH3068 liveth, thou hast been uprightH3477, and thy goingH3318 outH3318 and thy comingH935 in with meH413 in the hostH4264 is goodH2896 in my sightH5869: for I have notH3808 foundH4672 evilH7451 in thee sinceH3588 the dayH3117 of thy comingH935 unto meH413 unto this dayH3117: neverthelessH3588 the lordsH5633 favour thee notH3808. 7Wherefore nowH6258 returnH7725, and goH7725 in peaceH7965, that thou displease notH3808 the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430. 8And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto AchishH397, But whatH4100 have I doneH6213? and whatH4100 hast thou foundH4672 in thy servantH5650 soH6213 longH5704 as I have been beforeH6440 thee unto this dayH3117, that I may notH3808 goH935 and fightH3898 againstH413 the enemiesH341 of my lordH113 the kingH4428? 9And AchishH397 answeredH559 and saidH559 to DavidH1732, I knowH3045 that thou art goodH2896 in my sightH5869, as an angelH4397 of GodH430: notwithstanding the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 have saidH559, He shall notH3808 goH5927 upH5927 with usH413 to the battleH4421. 10Wherefore nowH6258 riseH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 with the servantsH5650 of thy lordH113 that are comeH935 with thee: and as soonH6258 as ye be upH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and have lightH215, depart. 11SoH5927 DavidH1732 roseH7925 upH5927 earlyH7925, he and his menH376, to departH5927 in the morningH1242, to returnH7725 intoH413 the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430. And the PhilistinesH6430 wentH5927 upH5927 to JezreelH3157.
