So the Kenites{H7017} departed{H5493}{(H8799)} from among{H8432} the Amalekites{H6003}. 7 And Saul{H7586} smote{H5221}{(H8686)} the Amalekites{H6002} from Havilah{H2341} until thou comest{H935}{(H8800)} to Shur{H7793}, that is over against{H6440} Egypt{H4714}. 8 And he took{H8610}{(H8799)} Agag{H90} the king{H4428} of the Amalekites{H6002} alive{H2416}, and utterly destroyed{H2763}{(H8689)} all the people{H5971} with the edge{H6310} of the sword{H2719}. 9 But Saul{H7586} and the people{H5971} spared{H2550}{(H8799)} Agag{H90}, and the best{H4315} of the sheep{H6629}, and of the oxen{H1241}, and of the fatlings{H4932}, and the lambs{H3733}, and all that was good{H2896}, and would{H14}{(H8804)} not utterly destroy{H2763}{(H8687)} them: but every thing{H4399} that was vile{H5240} and refuse{H4549}{(H8738)}, that they destroyed utterly{H2763}{(H8689)}. 10 Then came the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068} unto Samuel{H8050}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, 11 It repenteth{H5162}{(H8738)} me that I have set up{H4427}{(H8689)} Saul{H7586} to be king{H4428}: for he is turned back{H7725}{(H8804)} from following{H310} me, and hath not performed{H6965}{(H8689)} my commandments{H1697}. And it grieved{H2734}{(H8799)} Samuel{H8050}; and he cried{H2199}{(H8799)} unto the LORD{H3068} all night{H3915}. 12 And when Samuel{H8050} rose early{H7925}{(H8686)} to meet{H7125}{(H8800)} Saul{H7586} in the morning{H1242}, it was told{H5046}{(H8714)} Samuel{H8050}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Saul{H7586} came{H935}{(H8804)} to Carmel{H3760}, and, behold, he set him up{H5324}{(H8688)} a place{H3027}, and is gone about{H5437}{(H8735)}, and passed on{H5674}{(H8799)}, and gone down{H3381}{(H8799)} to Gilgal{H1537}. 13 And Samuel{H8050} came{H935}{(H8799)} to Saul{H7586}: and Saul{H7586} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Blessed{H1288}{(H8803)} be thou of the LORD{H3068}: I have performed{H6965}{(H8689)} the commandment{H1697} of the LORD{H3068}. 14 And Samuel{H8050} said{H559}{(H8799)}, What meaneth then this bleating{H6963} of the sheep{H6629} in mine ears{H241}, and the lowing{H6963} of the oxen{H1241} which I hear{H8085}{(H8802)}? 15 And Saul{H7586} said{H559}{(H8799)}, They have brought{H935}{(H8689)} them from the Amalekites{H6003}: for the people{H5971} spared{H2550}{(H8804)} the best{H4315} of the sheep{H6629} and of the oxen{H1241}, to sacrifice{H2076}{(H8800)} unto the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430}; and the rest{H3498}{(H8802)} we have utterly destroyed{H2763}{(H8689)}. 16 Then Samuel{H8050} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Saul{H7586}, Stay{H7503}{(H8685)}, and I will tell{H5046}{(H8686)} thee what the LORD{H3068} hath said{H1696}{(H8765)} to me this night{H3915}. And he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Say on{H1696}{(H8761)}. 17 And Samuel{H8050} said{H559}{(H8799)}, When thou wast little{H6996} in thine own sight{H5869}, wast thou not made the head{H7218} of the tribes{H7626} of Israel{H3478}, and the LORD{H3068} anointed{H4886}{(H8799)} thee king{H4428} over Israel{H3478}? 18 And the LORD{H3068} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} thee on a journey{H1870}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Go{H3212}{(H8798)} and utterly destroy{H2763}{(H8689)} the sinners{H2400} the Amalekites{H6002}, and fight{H3898}{(H8738)} against them until they be consumed{H3615}{(H8763)}. 19 Wherefore then didst thou not obey{H8085}{(H8804)} the voice{H6963} of the LORD{H3068}, but didst fly{H5860}{(H8799)} upon the spoil{H7998}, and didst{H6213}{(H8799)} evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of the LORD{H3068}? 20 And Saul{H7586} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Samuel{H8050}, Yea, I have obeyed{H8085}{(H8804)} the voice{H6963} of the LORD{H3068}, and have gone{H3212}{(H8799)} the way{H1870} which the LORD{H3068} sent{H7971}{(H8804)} me, and have brought{H935}{(H8686)} Agag{H90} the king{H4428} of Amalek{H6002}, and have utterly destroyed{H2763}{(H8689)} the Amalekites{H6002}. 21 But the people{H5971} took{H3947}{(H8799)} of the spoil{H7998}, sheep{H6629} and oxen{H1241}, the chief{H7225} of the things which should have been utterly destroyed{H2764}, to sacrifice{H2076}{(H8800)} unto the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} in Gilgal{H1537}. 22 And Samuel{H8050} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Hath the LORD{H3068} as great delight{H2656} in burnt offerings{H5930} and sacrifices{H2077}, as in obeying{H8085}{(H8800)} the voice{H6963} of the LORD{H3068}? Behold, to obey{H8085}{(H8800)} is better{H2896} than sacrifice{H2077}, and to hearken{H7181}{(H8687)} than the fat{H2459} of rams{H352}. 23 For rebellion{H4805} is as the sin{H2403} of witchcraft{H7081}, and stubbornness{H6484}{(H8687)} is as iniquity{H205} and idolatry{H8655}. Because thou hast rejected{H3988}{(H8804)} the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068}, he hath also rejected{H3988}{(H8799)} thee from being king{H4428}. 24 And Saul{H7586} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Samuel{H8050}, I have sinned{H2398}{(H8804)}: for I have transgressed{H5674}{(H8804)} the commandment{H6310} of the LORD{H3068}, and thy words{H1697}: because I feared{H3372}{(H8804)} the people{H5971}, and obeyed{H8085}{(H8799)} their voice{H6963}. 25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon{H5375}{(H8798)} my sin{H2403}, and turn again{H7725}{(H8798)} with me, that I may worship{H7812}{(H8691)} the LORD{H3068}. 26 And Samuel{H8050} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Saul{H7586}, I will not return{H7725}{(H8799)} with thee: for thou hast rejected{H3988}{(H8804)} the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068}, and the LORD{H3068} hath rejected{H3988}{(H8799)} thee from being king{H4428} over Israel{H3478}. 27 And as Samuel{H8050} turned about{H5437}{(H8735)} to go away{H3212}{(H8800)}, he laid hold{H2388}{(H8686)} upon the skirt{H3671} of his mantle{H4598}, and it rent{H7167}{(H8735)}. 28 And Samuel{H8050} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, The LORD{H3068} hath rent{H7167}{(H8804)} the kingdom{H4468} of Israel{H3478} from thee this day{H3117}, and hath given{H5414}{(H8804)} it to a neighbour{H7453} of thine, that is better{H2896} than thou. 29 And also the Strength{H5331} of Israel{H3478} will not lie{H8266}{(H8762)} nor repent{H5162}{(H8735)}: for he is not a man{H120}, that he should repent{H5162}{(H8736)}. 30 Then he said{H559}{(H8799)}, I have sinned{H2398}{(H8804)}: yet honour{H3513}{(H8761)} me now, I pray thee, before the elders{H2205} of my people{H5971}, and before Israel{H3478}, and turn again{H7725}{(H8798)} with me, that I may worship{H7812}{(H8694)} the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430}. 31 So Samuel{H8050} turned again{H7725}{(H8799)} after{H310} Saul{H7586}; and Saul{H7586} worshipped{H7812}{(H8691)} the LORD{H3068}. 32 Then said{H559}{(H8799)} Samuel{H8050}, Bring ye hither{H5066}{(H8685)} to me Agag{H90} the king{H4428} of the Amalekites{H6002}. And Agag{H90} came{H3212}{(H8799)} unto him delicately{H4574}. And Agag{H90} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Surely{H403} the bitterness{H4751} of death{H4194} is past{H5493}{(H8804)}. 33 And Samuel{H8050} said{H559}{(H8799)}, As thy sword{H2719} hath made women{H802} childless{H7921}{(H8765)}, so shall thy mother{H517} be childless{H7921}{(H8799)} among women{H802}. And Samuel{H8050} hewed{H8158} Agag{H90} in pieces{H8158}{(H8762)} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068} in Gilgal{H1537}. 34 Then Samuel{H8050} went{H3212}{(H8799)} to Ramah{H7414}; and Saul{H7586} went up{H5927}{(H8804)} to his house{H1004} to Gibeah{H1390} of Saul{H7586}. 35 And Samuel{H8050} came no more{H3254}{(H8804)} to see{H7200}{(H8800)} Saul{H7586} until the day{H3117} of his death{H4194}: nevertheless{H3588} Samuel{H8050} mourned{H56}{(H8694)} for Saul{H7586}: and the LORD{H3068} repented{H5162}{(H8738)} that he had made Saul{H7586} king{H4427}{(H8689)} over Israel{H3478}.
  • 1 Sam 27:1-9 : 1 And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)} in his heart{H3820}, I shall now perish{H5595}{(H8735)} one{H259} day{H3117} by the hand{H3027} of Saul{H7586}: there is nothing better{H2896} for me than that{H3588} I should speedily{H4422}{(H8736)} escape{H4422}{(H8735)} into the land{H776} of the Philistines{H6430}; and Saul{H7586} shall despair{H2976}{(H8738)} of me, to seek{H1245}{(H8763)} me any more in any coast{H1366} of Israel{H3478}: so shall I escape{H4422}{(H8738)} out of his hand{H3027}. 2 And David{H1732} arose{H6965}{(H8799)}, and he passed over{H5674}{(H8799)} with the six{H8337} hundred{H3967} men{H376} that were with him unto Achish{H397}, the son{H1121} of Maoch{H4582}, king{H4428} of Gath{H1661}. 3 And David{H1732} dwelt{H3427}{(H8799)} with Achish{H397} at Gath{H1661}, he and his men{H582}, every man{H376} with his household{H1004}, even David{H1732} with his two{H8147} wives{H802}, Ahinoam{H293} the Jezreelitess{H3159}, and Abigail{H26} the Carmelitess{H3762}, Nabal's{H5037} wife{H802}. 4 And it was told{H5046}{(H8714)} Saul{H7586} that David{H1732} was fled{H1272}{(H8804)} to Gath{H1661}: and he sought{H1245}{(H8763)} no more again{H3254}{(H8804)}{(H8675)}{H3254}{(H8686)} for him. 5 And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Achish{H397}, If I have now found{H4672}{(H8804)} grace{H2580} in thine eyes{H5869}, let them give{H5414}{(H8799)} me a place{H4725} in some{H259} town{H5892} in the country{H7704}, that I may dwell{H3427}{(H8799)} there: for why should thy servant{H5650} dwell{H3427}{(H8799)} in the royal{H4467} city{H5892} with thee? 6 Then Achish{H397} gave{H5414}{(H8799)} him Ziklag{H6860} that day{H3117}: wherefore Ziklag{H6860} pertaineth unto the kings{H4428} of Judah{H3063} unto this day{H3117}. 7 And the time{H4557}{H3117} that David{H1732} dwelt{H3427}{(H8804)} in the country{H7704} of the Philistines{H6430} was a full year{H3117} and four{H702} months{H2320}. 8 And David{H1732} and his men{H582} went up{H5927}{(H8799)}, and invaded{H6584}{(H8799)} the Geshurites{H1651}, and the Gezrites{H1511}, and the Amalekites{H6003}: for those{H2007} nations were of old{H5769} the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of the land{H776}, as thou goest{H935}{(H8800)} to Shur{H7793}, even unto the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714}. 9 And David{H1732} smote{H5221}{(H8689)} the land{H776}, and left neither man{H376} nor woman{H802} alive{H2421}{(H8762)}, and took away{H3947}{(H8804)} the sheep{H6629}, and the oxen{H1241}, and the asses{H2543}, and the camels{H1581}, and the apparel{H899}, and returned{H7725}{(H8799)}, and came{H935}{(H8799)} to Achish{H397}. 10 And Achish{H397} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Whither{H408} have ye made a road{H6584}{(H8804)} to day{H3117}? And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Against the south{H5045} of Judah{H3063}, and against the south{H5045} of the Jerahmeelites{H3397}, and against the south{H5045} of the Kenites{H7017}. 11 And David{H1732} saved{H2421}{(H8762)} neither man{H376} nor woman{H802} alive{H2421}{(H8762)}, to bring{H935}{(H8687)} tidings to Gath{H1661}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Lest they should tell{H5046}{(H8686)} on us, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, So did{H6213}{(H8804)} David{H1732}, and so will be his manner{H4941} all the while{H3117} he dwelleth{H3427}{(H8804)} in the country{H7704} of the Philistines{H6430}. 12 And Achish{H397} believed{H539}{(H8686)} David{H1732}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, He hath made his people{H5971} Israel{H3478} utterly{H887}{(H8687)} to abhor{H887}{(H8689)} him; therefore he shall be my servant{H5650} for ever{H5769}.
  • 1 Sam 30:1-9 : 1 And it came to pass, when David{H1732} and his men{H582} were come{H935}{(H8800)} to Ziklag{H6860} on the third{H7992} day{H3117}, that the Amalekites{H6003} had invaded{H6584}{(H8804)} the south{H5045}, and Ziklag{H6860}, and smitten{H5221}{(H8686)} Ziklag{H6860}, and burned{H8313}{(H8799)} it with fire{H784}; 2 And had taken the women{H802} captives{H7617}{(H8799)}, that were therein: they slew{H4191}{(H8689)} not any{H376}, either great{H1419} or small{H6996}, but carried them away{H5090}{(H8799)}, and went{H3212}{(H8799)} on their way{H1870}. 3 So David{H1732} and his men{H582} came{H935}{(H8799)} to the city{H5892}, and, behold, it was burned{H8313}{(H8803)} with fire{H784}; and their wives{H802}, and their sons{H1121}, and their daughters{H1323}, were taken captives{H7617}{(H8738)}. 4 Then David{H1732} and the people{H5971} that were with him lifted up{H5375}{(H8799)} their voice{H6963} and wept{H1058}{(H8799)}, until they had no more power{H3581} to weep{H1058}{(H8800)}. 5 And David's{H1732} two{H8147} wives{H802} were taken captives{H7617}{(H8738)}, Ahinoam{H293} the Jezreelitess{H3159}, and Abigail{H26} the wife{H802} of Nabal{H5037} the Carmelite{H3761}. 6 And David{H1732} was greatly{H3966} distressed{H3334}{(H8799)}; for the people{H5971} spake{H559}{(H8804)} of stoning{H5619}{(H8800)} him, because the soul{H5315} of all the people{H5971} was grieved{H4843}{(H8804)}, every man{H376} for his sons{H1121} and for his daughters{H1323}: but David{H1732} encouraged{H2388}{(H8691)} himself in the LORD{H3068} his God{H430}. 7 And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)} to Abiathar{H54} the priest{H3548}, Ahimelech's{H288} son{H1121}, I pray thee, bring me hither{H5066}{(H8685)} the ephod{H646}. And Abiathar{H54} brought{H5066}{(H8686)} thither the ephod{H646} to David{H1732}. 8 And David{H1732} enquired{H7592}{(H8799)} at the LORD{H3068}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Shall I pursue{H7291}{(H8799)} after{H310} this troop{H1416}? shall I overtake{H5381}{(H8686)} them? And he answered{H559}{(H8799)} him, Pursue{H7291}{(H8798)}: for thou shalt surely{H5381}{(H8687)} overtake{H5381}{(H8686)} them, and without fail{H5337}{(H8687)} recover{H5337}{(H8686)} all. 9 So David{H1732} went{H3212}{(H8799)}, he and the six{H8337} hundred{H3967} men{H376} that were with him, and came{H935}{(H8799)} to the brook{H5158} Besor{H1308}, where those that were left behind{H3498}{(H8737)} stayed{H5975}{(H8804)}. 10 But David{H1732} pursued{H7291}{(H8799)}, he and four{H702} hundred{H3967} men{H376}: for two hundred{H3967} abode behind{H5975}{(H8799)}, which were so faint{H6296}{(H8765)} that they could not go over{H5674}{(H8800)} the brook{H5158} Besor{H1308}. 11 And they found{H4672}{(H8799)} an Egyptian{H376}{H4713} in the field{H7704}, and brought{H3947}{(H8799)} him to David{H1732}, and gave{H5414}{(H8799)} him bread{H3899}, and he did eat{H398}{(H8799)}; and they made him drink{H8248}{(H8686)} water{H4325}; 12 And they gave{H5414}{(H8799)} him a piece{H6400} of a cake{H1690} of figs, and two{H8147} clusters of raisins{H6778}: and when he had eaten{H398}{(H8799)}, his spirit{H7307} came again{H7725}{(H8799)} to him: for he had eaten{H398}{(H8804)} no bread{H3899}, nor drunk{H8354}{(H8804)} any water{H4325}, three{H7969} days{H3117} and three{H7969} nights{H3915}. 13 And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, I am a young man{H5288} of Egypt{H4713}, servant{H5650} to an Amalekite{H376}{H6003}; and my master{H113} left{H5800}{(H8799)} me, because three{H7969} days{H3117} agone I fell sick{H2470}{(H8804)}. 14 We made an invasion{H6584}{(H8804)} upon the south{H5045} of the Cherethites{H3774}, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah{H3063}, and upon the south{H5045} of Caleb{H3612}; and we burned{H8313}{(H8804)} Ziklag{H6860} with fire{H784}. 15 And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)} to him, Canst thou bring me down{H3381}{(H8686)} to this company{H1416}? And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, Swear{H7650}{(H8734)} unto me by God{H430}, that thou wilt neither kill{H4191}{(H8686)} me, nor{H518} deliver{H5462}{(H8686)} me into the hands{H3027} of my master{H113}, and I will bring thee down{H3381}{(H8686)} to this company{H1416}. 16 And when he had brought him down{H3381}{(H8686)}, behold, they were spread abroad{H5203}{(H8803)} upon all{H6440} the earth{H776}, eating{H398}{(H8802)} and drinking{H8354}{(H8802)}, and dancing{H2287}{(H8802)}, because of all the great{H1419} spoil{H7998} that they had taken{H3947}{(H8804)} out of the land{H776} of the Philistines{H6430}, and out of the land{H776} of Judah{H3063}. 17 And David{H1732} smote{H5221}{(H8686)} them from the twilight{H5399} even unto the evening{H6153} of the next day{H4283}: and there escaped{H4422}{(H8738)} not a man{H376} of them, save four{H702} hundred{H3967} young{H5288} men{H376}, which rode{H7392}{(H8804)} upon camels{H1581}, and fled{H5127}{(H8799)}. 18 And David{H1732} recovered{H5337}{(H8686)} all that the Amalekites{H6002} had carried away{H3947}{(H8804)}: and David{H1732} rescued{H5337}{(H8689)} his two{H8147} wives{H802}. 19 And there was nothing lacking{H5737}{(H8738)} to them, neither{H4480} small{H6996} nor great{H1419}, neither sons{H1121} nor daughters{H1323}, neither spoil{H7998}, nor any thing that they had taken{H3947}{(H8804)} to them: David{H1732} recovered{H7725}{(H8689)} all. 20 And David{H1732} took{H3947}{(H8799)} all the flocks{H6629} and the herds{H1241}, which they drave{H5090}{(H8804)} before{H6440} those{H1931} other cattle{H4735}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, This is David's{H1732} spoil{H7998}. 21 And David{H1732} came{H935}{(H8799)} to the two hundred{H3967} men{H582}, which were so faint{H6296}{(H8765)} that they could not follow{H3212}{(H8800)}{H310} David{H1732}, whom they had made also to abide{H3427}{(H8686)} at the brook{H5158} Besor{H1308}: and they went forth{H3318}{(H8799)} to meet{H7125}{(H8800)} David{H1732}, and to meet{H7125}{(H8800)} the people{H5971} that were with him: and when David{H1732} came near{H5066}{(H8799)} to the people{H5971}, he saluted{H7592}{(H8799)}{H7965} them. 22 Then answered{H6030}{(H8799)} all the wicked{H7451} men{H376} and men of Belial{H1100}, of those{H582} that went{H1980}{(H8804)} with David{H1732}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Because they went{H1980}{(H8804)} not with us, we will not give{H5414}{(H8799)} them ought of the spoil{H7998} that we have recovered{H5337}{(H8689)}, save to every man{H376} his wife{H802} and his children{H1121}, that they may lead them away{H5090}{(H8799)}, and depart{H3212}{(H8799)}. 23 Then said{H559}{(H8799)} David{H1732}, Ye shall not do so{H6213}{(H8799)}, my brethren{H251}, with that which the LORD{H3068} hath given{H5414}{(H8804)} us, who hath preserved{H8104}{(H8799)} us, and delivered{H5414}{(H8799)} the company{H1416} that came{H935}{(H8802)} against us into our hand{H3027}. 24 For who will hearken{H8085}{(H8799)} unto you in this matter{H1697}? but as his part{H2506} is that goeth down{H3381}{(H8802)}{(H8675)}{H3381}{(H8717)} to the battle{H4421}, so shall his part{H2506} be that tarrieth{H3427}{(H8802)} by the stuff{H3627}: they shall part{H2505}{(H8799)} alike{H3162}. 25 And it was so from that day{H3117} forward{H4605}, that he made{H7760}{(H8799)} it a statute{H2706} and an ordinance{H4941} for Israel{H3478} unto this day{H3117}. 26 And when David{H1732} came{H935}{(H8799)} to Ziklag{H6860}, he sent{H7971}{(H8762)} of the spoil{H7998} unto the elders{H2205} of Judah{H3063}, even to his friends{H7453}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Behold a present{H1293} for you of the spoil{H7998} of the enemies{H341}{(H8802)} of the LORD{H3068}; 27 To them{H834} which were in Bethel{H1008}, and to them which were in south{H5045} Ramoth{H7418}, and to them which were in Jattir{H3492}, 28 And to them which were in Aroer{H6177}, and to them which were in Siphmoth{H8224}, and to them which were in Eshtemoa{H851}, 29 And to them which were in Rachal{H7403}, and to them which were in the cities{H5892} of the Jerahmeelites{H3397}, and to them which were in the cities{H5892} of the Kenites{H7017}, 30 And to them which were in Hormah{H2767}, and to them which were in Chorashan{H3565}, and to them which were in Athach{H6269}, 31 And to them which were in Hebron{H2275}, and to all the places{H4725} where David{H1732} himself and his men{H582} were wont to haunt{H1980}{(H8694)}.
