• 1 Samuel 19:21

• 1 Samuel 21:3

• 1 Samuel 21:5

  David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

• 1 Samuel 21:11

  The servants of Achish said to him, “Isn’t this David the king of the land? Didn’t they sing to one another about him in dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?’”

• 1 Samuel 21:12

  David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

• 1 Samuel 21:13

  He changed his behavior before them, and pretended to be insane in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard.

• 1 Samuel 21:14

• 1 Samuel 21:15

• 1 Samuel 23:1

• 1 Samuel 23:3

  David’s men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”

• 1 Samuel 23:4

• 1 Samuel 23:5

• 1 Samuel 23:7

• 1 Samuel 23:8

  Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.

• 1 Samuel 23:9

  David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”

• 1 Samuel 23:10

  Then David said, “O Yahweh, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.

• 1 Samuel 23:11

  Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? Yahweh, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant.” Yahweh said, “He will come down.”

• 1 Samuel 23:12

  Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” Yahweh said, “They will deliver you up.”

• 1 Samuel 23:13

• 1 Samuel 23:14

  David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God didn’t deliver him into his hand.

• 1 Samuel 23:15

  David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the wood.

• 1 Samuel 23:16

  Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose, and went to David into the woods, and strengthened his hand in God.

• 1 Samuel 23:17

  He said to him, “Don’t be afraid; for the hand of Saul my father won’t find you; and you will be king over Israel, and I will be next to you; and Saul my father knows that also.”

• 1 Samuel 23:18

  They both made a covenant before Yahweh. Then David stayed in the woods, and Jonathan went to his house.

• 1 Samuel 23:19

  Then the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?

• 1 Samuel 23:20

  Now therefore, O king, come down. According to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part will be to deliver him up into the king’s hand.”

• 1 Samuel 23:21

  Saul said, “You are blessed by Yahweh; for you have had compassion on me.

• 1 Samuel 23:22

  Please go make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for I have been told that he deals very crafty.

• 1 Samuel 23:23

  See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides himself, and come again to me with certainty, and I will go with you. It shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah.”

• 1 Samuel 23:24

  They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.

• 1 Samuel 23:25

  Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard that, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.

• 1 Samuel 23:26

  Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David hurried to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men to take them.

• 1 Samuel 23:27

  But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come; for the Philistines have made a raid on the land!”

• 1 Samuel 23:28

  So Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines. Therefore they called that place Sela Hammahlekoth.

• 1 Samuel 23:29

  David went up from there, and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.

• 1 Samuel 27:7

  The number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.

• 1 Samuel 27:8

  David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for those were the inhabitants of the land, who were of old, on the way to Shur, even to the land of Egypt.

• 1 Samuel 27:9

  David struck the land, and saved no man or woman alive, and took away the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned, and came to Achish.

• 1 Samuel 27:10

  Achish said, “Against whom have you made a raid today?” David said, “Against the South of Judah, against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.”

• 1 Samuel 27:11

  David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring them to Gath, saying, “Lest they should tell about us, saying, ‘David did this, and this has been his way all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.’”

• 1 Samuel 27:12

  Achish believed David, saying, “He has made his people Israel utterly to abhor him. Therefore he will be my servant forever.”

• 1 Samuel 28:1

  In those days, the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. Achish said to David, “Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the army, you and your men.”

• 1 Samuel 28:2

  David said to Achish, “Therefore you will know what your servant can do.” Achish said to David, “Therefore I will make you my bodyguard forever.”

• 2 Samuel 1:1

  After the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag;

• 2 Samuel 1:2

  on the third day, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn, and earth on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the earth, and showed respect.

• 2 Samuel 1:3

  David said to him, “Where do you come from?” He said to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”

• 2 Samuel 1:4

  David said to him, “How did it go? Please tell me.” He answered, “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead. Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.”

• 2 Samuel 1:5

  David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”

• 2 Samuel 1:6

  The young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed close behind him.

• 2 Samuel 1:7

  When he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. I answered, ‘Here I am.’

• 2 Samuel 1:8

  He said to me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’

• 2 Samuel 1:9

  He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me; for anguish has taken hold of me, because my life lingers in me.’

• 2 Samuel 1:10

  So I stood beside him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.”

• 2 Samuel 1:11

  Then David took hold on his clothes, and tore them; and all the men who were with him did likewise.

• 2 Samuel 1:12

  They mourned, wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Yahweh, and for the house of Israel; because they had fallen by the sword.

• 2 Samuel 1:13

  David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.”

• 2 Samuel 1:14

  David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy Yahweh’s anointed?”

• 2 Samuel 1:15

  David called one of the young men, and said, “Go near, and cut him down!” He struck him so that he died.

• 2 Samuel 1:16

  David said to him, “Your blood be on your head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have slain Yahweh’s anointed.’”

• 2 Samuel 1:17

  David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son

• 2 Samuel 1:18

  (and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):

• 2 Samuel 1:19

  “Your glory, Israel, was slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!

• 2 Samuel 1:20

  Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

• 2 Samuel 1:21

  You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, and no fields of offerings; For there the shield of the mighty was defiled and cast away, The shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.

• 2 Samuel 1:22

  From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan’s bow didn’t turn back. Saul’s sword didn’t return empty.

• 2 Samuel 1:23

  Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.

• 2 Samuel 1:24

  You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you delicately in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.

• 2 Samuel 1:25

  How the mighty have fallen in the middle of the battle! Jonathan was slain on your high places.

• 2 Samuel 1:26

  I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.

• 2 Samuel 1:27

  How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished!”

• 2 Samuel 2:1

  After this, David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?” Yahweh said to him, “Go up.” David said, “Where shall I go up?” He said, “To Hebron.”

• 2 Samuel 2:2

  So David went up there with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

• 2 Samuel 2:3

  David brought up his men who were with him, every man with his household. They lived in the cities of Hebron.

• 2 Samuel 2:4

  The men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. They told David, “The men of Jabesh Gilead were those who buried Saul.”

• 2 Samuel 2:11

  The time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.

• 2 Samuel 2:13

  Joab the son of Zeruiah and David’s servants went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.

• 2 Samuel 2:14

  Abner said to Joab, “Please let the young men arise and play before us!” Joab said, “Let them arise!”

• 2 Samuel 2:15

  Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of David’s servants.

• 2 Samuel 2:16

  They each caught his opponent by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: therefore that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim.

• 2 Samuel 2:17

  The battle was very severe that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before David’s servants.

• 2 Samuel 2:18

  The three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild gazelle.

• 2 Samuel 2:19

  Asahel pursued Abner; and in going he didn’t turn to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.

• 2 Samuel 2:20

  Then Abner looked behind him, and said, “Is that you, Asahel?” He answered, “It is.”

• 2 Samuel 2:21

  Abner said to him, “Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor.” But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.

• 2 Samuel 2:22

  Abner said again to Asahel, “Turn aside from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I look Joab your brother in the face?”

• 2 Samuel 2:23

  However he refused to turn aside. Therefore Abner with the back end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place. As many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.

• 2 Samuel 2:24

  But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner. The sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.

• 2 Samuel 2:25

  The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill.

• 2 Samuel 2:26

  Then Abner called to Joab, and said, “Shall the sword devour forever? Don’t you know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long will it be then, before you ask the people to return from following their brothers?”

• 2 Samuel 2:27

  Joab said, “As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone away, and not each followed his brother.”

• 2 Samuel 2:28

  So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stood still, and pursued Israel no more, and they fought no more.

• 2 Samuel 2:29

  Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and came to Mahanaim.

• 2 Samuel 2:30

  Joab returned from following Abner; and when he had gathered all the people together, nineteen men of David’s and Asahel were missing.

• 2 Samuel 2:31

  But David’s servants had struck Benjamin and of Abner’s men so that three hundred sixty men died.

• 2 Samuel 2:32

  They took up Asahel, and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.

• 2 Samuel 3:4

  and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
