1 Samuel 23:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 They told David, "The Philistines are fighting in Keilah and are looting the threshing floors."
2 So David asked the LORD, "Should I go and strike down these Philistines?" The LORD said to David, "Go, strike down the Philistines and deliver Keilah."
3 But David's men said to him, "We are afraid while we are still here in Judah! What will it be like if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?"
4 So David asked the LORD once again. But again the LORD replied, "Arise, go down to Keilah, for I will give the Philistines into your hand."
5 So David and his men went to Keilah and fought the Philistines. He took away their cattle and thoroughly defeated them. David delivered the inhabitants of Keilah.
6 Now when Abiathar son of Ahimelech had fled to David at Keilah, he had brought with him an ephod.
7 When Saul was told that David had come to Keilah, Saul said, "God has delivered him into my hand, for he has boxed himself into a corner by entering a city with two barred gates."
8 So Saul mustered all his army to go down to Keilah and besiege David and his men.
9 When David realized that Saul was planning to harm him, he told Abiathar the priest, "Bring the ephod!"
10 Then David said, "O LORD God of Israel, your servant has clearly heard that Saul is planning to come to Keilah to destroy the city because of me.
11 Will the leaders of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down as your servant has heard? O LORD God of Israel, please inform your servant!" Then the LORD said, "He will come down."
12 David asked, "Will the leaders of Keilah deliver me and my men into Saul's hand?" The LORD said, "They will deliver you over."
13 So David and his men, who numbered about six hundred, set out and left Keilah; they moved around from one place to another. When told that David had escaped from Keilah, Saul called a halt to his expedition.
14 David stayed in the strongholds that were in the desert and in the hill country of the desert of Ziph. Saul looked for him all the time, but God did not deliver David into his hand.
15 David realized that Saul had come out to seek his life; at that time David was in Horesh in the desert of Ziph.
16 Then Jonathan son of Saul left and went to David at Horesh. He encouraged him through God.
17 He said to him, "Don't be afraid! For the hand of my father Saul cannot find you. You will rule over Israel, and I will be your second in command. Even my father Saul realizes this."
18 When the two of them had made a covenant before the LORD, David stayed on at Horesh, but Jonathan went to his house.
19 Then the Ziphites went up to Saul at Gibeah and said, "Isn't David hiding among us in the strongholds at Horesh on the hill of Hakilah, south of Jeshimon?
20 Now at your own discretion, O king, come down. Delivering him into the king's hand will be our responsibility."
21 Saul replied, "May you be blessed by the LORD, for you have had compassion on me.
22 Go and make further arrangements. Determine precisely where he is and who has seen him there, for I am told that he is extremely cunning.
23 Locate precisely all the places where he hides and return to me with dependable information. Then I will go with you. If he is in the land, I will find him among all the thousands of Judah."
24 So they left and went to Ziph ahead of Saul. Now David and his men were in the desert of Maon, in the Arabah to the south of Jeshimon.
25 Saul and his men went to look for him. But David was informed and went down to the rock and stayed in the desert of Maon. When Saul heard about it, he pursued David in the desert of Maon.
26 Saul went on one side of the mountain, while David and his men went on the other side of the mountain. David was hurrying to get away from Saul, but Saul and his men were surrounding David and his men so they could capture them.
27 But a messenger came to Saul saying, "Come quickly, for the Philistines have raided the land!"
28 So Saul stopped pursuing David and went to confront the Philistines. Therefore that place is called Sela Hammahlekoth.
29 Then David went up from there and stayed in the strongholds of En Gedi.
1 Then they told H5046 David, H1732 saying, H559 Behold, H2009 the Philistines H6430 fight H3898 against Keilah, H7084 and they H1992 rob H8154 H853 the threshingfloors. H1637
2 Therefore David H1732 inquired H7592 of the LORD, H3068 saying, H559 Shall I go H1980 and smite H5221 these H428 Philistines H6430 ? And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 David, H1732 Go, H1980 and smite H5221 the Philistines, H6430 and save H3467 H853 Keilah. H7084
3 And David's H1732 men H376 said H559 unto H413 him, Behold, H2009 we H587 be afraid H3372 here H6311 in Judah: H3063 how much H637 more then if H3588 we come H1980 to Keilah H7084 against H413 the armies H4634 of the Philistines H6430 ?
4 Then David H1732 inquired H7592 of the LORD H3068 yet H5750 again. H3254 And the LORD H3068 answered H6030 him and said, H559 Arise, H6965 go down H3381 to Keilah; H7084 for H3588 I H589 will deliver H5414 H853 the Philistines H6430 into thine hand. H3027
5 So David H1732 and his men H376 went H1980 to Keilah, H7084 and fought H3898 with the Philistines, H6430 and brought away H5090 H853 their cattle, H4735 and smote H5221 them with a great H1419 slaughter. H4347 So David H1732 saved H3467 H853 the inhabitants H3427 of Keilah. H7084
6 And it came to pass, H1961 when Abiathar H54 the son H1121 of Ahimelech H288 fled H1272 to H413 David H1732 to Keilah, H7084 that he came down H3381 with an ephod H646 in his hand. H3027
7 And it was told H5046 Saul H7586 that H3588 David H1732 was come H935 to Keilah. H7084 And Saul H7586 said, H559 God H430 hath delivered H5234 him into mine hand; H3027 for H3588 he is shut in, H5462 by entering H935 into a town H5892 that hath gates H1817 and bars. H1280
8 And Saul H7586 called H8085 H853 all H3605 the people H5971 together to war, H4421 to go down H3381 to Keilah, H7084 to besiege H6696 H413 David H1732 and his men. H376
9 And David H1732 knew H3045 that H3588 Saul H7586 secretly practiced H2790 mischief H7451 against H5921 him ; and he said H559 to H413 Abiathar H54 the priest, H3548 Bring hither H5066 the ephod. H646
10 Then said H559 David, H1732 O LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 thy servant H5650 hath certainly heard H8085 H8085 that H3588 Saul H7586 seeketh H1245 to come H935 to H413 Keilah, H7084 to destroy H7843 the city H5892 for my sake. H5668
11 Will the men H1167 of Keilah H7084 deliver me up H5462 into his hand H3027 ? will Saul H7586 come down, H3381 as H834 thy servant H5650 hath heard H8085 ? O LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 I beseech thee, H4994 tell H5046 thy servant. H5650 And the LORD H3068 said, H559 He will come down. H3381
12 Then said H559 David, H1732 Will the men H1167 of Keilah H7084 deliver H5462 me and my men H376 into the hand H3027 of Saul H7586 ? And the LORD H3068 said, H559 They will deliver thee up. H5462
13 Then David H1732 and his men, H376 which were about six H8337 hundred H3967 H376 , arose H6965 and departed H3318 out of Keilah H4480 H7084 , and went H1980 whithersoever H834 they could go. H1980 And it was told H5046 Saul H7586 that H3588 David H1732 was escaped H4422 from Keilah H4480 H7084 ; and he forbore H2308 to go forth. H3318
14 And David H1732 abode H3427 in the wilderness H4057 in strongholds, H4679 and remained H3427 in a mountain H2022 in the wilderness H4057 of Ziph. H2128 And Saul H7586 sought H1245 him every H3605 day, H3117 but God H430 delivered H5414 him not H3808 into his hand. H3027
15 And David H1732 saw H7200 that H3588 Saul H7586 was come out H3318 to seek H1245 H853 his life: H5315 and David H1732 was in the wilderness H4057 of Ziph H2128 in a wood. H2793
16 And Jonathan H3083 Saul's H7586 son H1121 arose, H6965 and went H1980 to H413 David H1732 into the wood, H2793 and strengthened H2388 H853 his hand H3027 in God. H430
17 And he said H559 unto H413 him, Fear H3372 not: H408 for H3588 the hand H3027 of Saul H7586 my father H1 shall not H3808 find H4672 thee ; and thou H859 shalt be king H4427 over H5921 Israel, H3478 and I H595 shall be H1961 next H4932 unto thee ; and that H3651 also H1571 Saul H7586 my father H1 knoweth. H3045
18 And they two H8147 made H3772 a covenant H1285 before H6440 the LORD: H3068 and David H1732 abode H3427 in the wood, H2793 and Jonathan H3083 went H1980 to his house. H1004
19 Then came up H5927 the Ziphites H2130 to H413 Saul H7586 to Gibeah, H1390 saying, H559 Doth not H3808 David H1732 hide himself H5641 with H5973 us in strongholds H4679 in the wood, H2793 in the hill H1389 of Hachilah, H2444 which H834 is on the south H4480 H3225 of Jeshimon H3452 ?
20 Now H6258 therefore , O king, H4428 come down H3381 according to all H3605 the desire H185 of thy soul H5315 to come down; H3381 and our part shall be to deliver H5462 him into the king's H4428 hand. H3027
21 And Saul H7586 said, H559 Blessed H1288 be ye H859 of the LORD; H3068 for H3588 ye have compassion H2550 on H5921 me.
22 Go H1980 , I pray you, H4994 prepare H3559 yet, H5750 and know H3045 and see H7200 H853 his place H4725 where H834 his haunt H7272 is, H1961 and who H4310 hath seen H7200 him there: H8033 for H3588 it is told H559 H413 me that he H1931 dealeth very subtlely H6191 H6191 .
23 See H7200 therefore , and take knowledge H3045 of all H4480 H3605 the lurking places H4224 where H834 he hideth himself, H2244 and come ye again H7725 to H413 me with H413 the certainty, H3559 and I will go H1980 with H854 you : and it shall come to pass, H1961 if H518 he be H1961 H3426 in the land, H776 that I will search him out H2664 H853 throughout all H3605 the thousands H505 of Judah. H3063
24 And they arose, H6965 and went H1980 to Ziph H2128 before H6440 Saul: H7586 but David H1732 and his men H376 were in the wilderness H4057 of Maon, H4584 in the plain H6160 on H413 the south H3225 of Jeshimon. H3452
25 Saul H7586 also and his men H376 went H1980 to seek H1245 him . And they told H5046 David: H1732 wherefore he came down H3381 into a rock, H5553 and abode H3427 in the wilderness H4057 of Maon. H4584 And when Saul H7586 heard H8085 that , he pursued H7291 after H310 David H1732 in the wilderness H4057 of Maon. H4584
26 And Saul H7586 went H1980 on this side H4480 H2088 H4480 H6654 of the mountain, H2022 and David H1732 and his men H376 on that side H4480 H2088 H4480 H6654 of the mountain: H2022 and David H1732 made haste H1961 H2648 to get away H1980 for fear of H4480 H6440 Saul; H7586 for Saul H7586 and his men H376 compassed H5849 H413 David H1732 and his men H376 round about to take H8610 them.
27 But there came H935 a messenger H4397 unto H413 Saul, H7586 saying, H559 Haste H4116 thee , and come; H1980 for H3588 the Philistines H6430 have invaded H6584 H5921 the land. H776
28 Wherefore Saul H7586 returned H7725 from pursuing H4480 H7291 after H310 David, H1732 and went H1980 against H7125 the Philistines: H6430 therefore H5921 H3651 they called H7121 that H1931 place H4725 Sela-hammahlekoth. G5555
29 And David H1732 went up H5927 from thence H4480 H8033 , and dwelt H3427 in strongholds H4679 at En- H5872 gedi.
