And the Ziphites
came
unto Saul
to Gibeah,
saying,
Doth not David
hide
himself in the hill
of Hachilah,
which is before
Jeshimon?

Then Saul
arose,
and went down
to the wilderness
of Ziph,
having three
thousand
chosen
men
of Israel
with him, to seek
David
in the wilderness
of Ziph.

And Saul
pitched

by the way.
But David
abode
in the wilderness,
and he saw
that Saul
came
after
him into the wilderness.

David
therefore sent out
spies,
and understood
that Saul
was come
in very deed.
And David
arose,
and came
to the place
where Saul
had pitched:
and David
beheld
the place
where Saul
lay,
and Abner
the son
of Ner,
the captain
of his host:
and Saul
lay
in the trench,
and the people
pitched
round about
him.

Then answered
David
and said
to Ahimelech
the Hittite,
and to Abishai
the son
of Zeruiah,
brother
to Joab,
saying,
Who will go down
with me to Saul
to the camp?
And Abishai
said,
I will go down
with thee.

So David
and Abishai
came
to the people
by night:
and, behold, Saul
lay
sleeping
within the trench,
and his spear
stuck
in the ground
at his bolster:
but Abner
and the people
lay
round about
him.

Then said
Abishai
to David,
God
hath delivered
thine enemy
into thine hand
this day:
now therefore let me smite
him, I pray thee, with the spear
even to the earth
at once,
and I will not smite him the second time.

And David
said
to Abishai,
Destroy
him not: for who can stretch forth
his hand
against the LORD'S
anointed,
and be guiltless?
David
said
furthermore, As the LORD
liveth,
the LORD
shall smite
him; or his day
shall come
to die;
or he shall descend
into battle,
and perish.
say
The LORD
forbid
that I should stretch forth
mine hand
against the LORD'S
anointed:
but, I pray thee, take
thou now the spear
that is at his bolster,
and the cruse
of water,
and let us go.

So David
took
the spear
and the cruse
of water
from Saul's
bolster;
and they gat them away,
and no man saw
it, nor knew
it, neither awaked:
for they were all asleep;
because a deep sleep
from the LORD
was fallen
upon them.

Then David
went over
to the other side,
and stood
on the top
of an hill
afar off;
a great
space
being between them:
And David
cried
to the people,
and to Abner
the son
of Ner,
saying,
Answerest
thou not, Abner?
Then Abner
answered
and said,
Who art thou that criest
to the king?

And David

Art not thou a valiant man?
and who is like to thee in Israel?
wherefore then hast thou not kept
thy lord
the king?
for there came
one
of the people
in to destroy
the king
thy lord.
say

This thing
is not good

As the LORD
liveth,
ye are worthy
to die,
because ye have not kept
your master,
the LORD'S
anointed.
And now see
where the king's
spear
is, and the cruse
of water
that was at his bolster.

And Saul
knew
David's
voice,
and said,
Is this thy voice,
my son
David?
And David
said,
It is my voice,
my lord,
O king.
And he said,
Wherefore doth my lord
thus pursue
after
his servant?
for what have I done?
or what evil
is in mine hand?
Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord
the king
hear
the words
of his servant.
If the LORD
have stirred thee up
against me, let him accept
an offering:
but if they be the children
of men,
cursed
be they before
the LORD;
for they have driven
me out this day
from abiding
in the inheritance
of the LORD,
saying,
Go,
serve

Then said
Saul,
I have sinned:
return,
my son
David:
for I will no more do thee harm,
because my soul
was precious
in thine eyes
this day:
behold, I have played the fool,
and have erred
exceedingly.

And David
answered
and said,
Behold the king's
spear!
and let one
of the young men
come over
and fetch
it.
The LORD
render
to every man
his righteousness
and his faithfulness:
for the LORD
delivered
thee into my hand
to day,
but I would
not stretch forth
mine hand
against the LORD'S
anointed.
And, behold, as thy life
was much set by
this day
in mine eyes,
so let my life
be much set by
in the eyes
of the LORD,
and let him deliver
me out of all tribulation.

Then Saul
said
to David,
Blessed

thou shalt both do
great
things, and also shalt still

So David
went
on his way,
and Saul
returned
to his place.
