Though men may rise up to pursue you and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord will be bound in the bundle of life with Yahweh your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies as from a sling’s pocket.

Yet a man H120 is risen H6965 (QalImpf) to pursue H7291 (QalInf) thee, and to seek H1245 (PielInf) thy soul: H5315 but the soul H5315 of my lord H113 shall be bound H6887 (QalPasPtc) in the bundle H6872 of life H2416 with the Lord H3068 thy God; H430 and the souls H5315 of thine enemies, H341 (QalActPtc) them shall he sling out, H7049 (PielImpf) as out of the middle H8432 H3709 of a sling.^§ H7050

και εγενετο πρωι ως εξενηψεν απο του οινου ναβαλ απηγγειλεν αυτω η γυνη αυτου τα ρηματα ταυτα και εναπεθανεν η καρδια αυτου εν αυτω και αυτος γινεται ως λιθος

David H1732 also took H3947 (QalPerf) Ahinoam H293 of Jezreel; H3157 and they were also both H8147 of them his wives. H802

και την αχινααμ ελαβεν δαυιδ εξ ιεζραελ και αμφοτεραι ησαν αυτω γυναικες

Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: therefore Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day.

Then Achish H397 gave H5414 (QalImpf) him Ziklag H6860 that day: H3117 wherefore Ziklag H6860 pertaineth unto the kings H4428 of Judah H3063 unto this day. H3117

και εγενηθη εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις και συναθροιζονται αλλοφυλοι εν ταις παρεμβολαις αυτων εξελθειν πολεμειν μετα ισραηλ και ειπεν αγχους προς δαυιδ γινωσκων γνωσει οτι μετ εμου εξελευσει εις πολεμον συ και οι ανδρες σου

Samuel said, “Why then do you ask me, since Yahweh has departed from you and has become your adversary?

Then said H559 (QalImpf) Samuel, H8050 Wherefore then dost thou ask H7592 (QalImpf) of me, seeing the Lord H3068 is departed H5493 (QalPerf) from thee, and is become thine enemy? H6145

και ειπεν σαμουηλ ινα τι επερωτας με και κυριος αφεστηκεν απο σου και γεγονεν μετα του πλησιον σου

Then Saul fell immediately his full length on the earth, and was terrified, because of Samuel’s words. There was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all day long or all night long.

Then Saul H7586 fell H5307 (QalImpf) straightway H4116 (PielImpf) all H4393 along H6967 on the earth,^§ H776 and was sore H3966 afraid, H3372 (QalImpf) because of the words H1697 of Samuel: H8050 and there was no strength H3581 in him; for he had eaten H398 (QalPerf) no bread H3899 all the day, H3117 nor all the night. H3915

1 Samuel 28:20 Heb. made haste and fell with the fullness of his stature

και εσπευσεν σαουλ και επεσεν εστηκως επι την γην και εφοβηθη σφοδρα απο των λογων σαμουηλ και ισχυς εν αυτω ουκ ην ετι ου γαρ εφαγεν αρτον ολην την ημεραν και ολην την νυκτα εκεινην

Now therefore, please listen also to the voice of your servant, and let me set a morsel of bread before you. Eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way.”

Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken H8085 (QalImpv) thou also unto the voice H6963 of thine handmaid, H8198 and let me set H7760 (QalImpf) a morsel H6595 of bread H3899 before H6440 thee; and eat, H398 (QalImpv) that thou mayest have strength, H3581 when thou goest H3212 (QalImpf) on thy way. H1870

και νυν ακουσον δη φωνης της δουλης σου και παραθησω ενωπιον σου ψωμον αρτου και φαγε και εσται εν σοι ισχυς οτι πορευση εν οδω

Then the princes of the Philistines said, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, “Isn’t this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years? I have found no fault in him since he fell away until today.”

Then said H559 (QalImpf) the princes H8269 of the Philistines, H6430 What do these Hebrews H5680 here? And Achish H397 said H559 (QalImpf) unto the princes H8269 of the Philistines, H6430 Is not this David, H1732 the servant H5650 of Saul H7586 the king H4428 of Israel, H3478 which hath been with me these days, H3117 or these years, H8141 and I have found H4672 (QalPerf) no fault H3972 in him since H3117 he fell H5307 (QalInf) unto me unto this day? H3117

και ειπον οι σατραπαι των αλλοφυλων τινες οι διαπορευομενοι ουτοι και ειπεν αγχους προς τους στρατηγους των αλλοφυλων ουχ ουτος δαυιδ ο δουλος σαουλ βασιλεως ισραηλ γεγονεν μεθ ημων ημερας τουτο δευτερον ετος και ουχ ευρηκα εν αυτω ουθεν αφ ης ημερας ενεπεσεν προς με και εως της ημερας ταυτης

But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, “Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where you have appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us. For with what should this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Should it not be with the heads of these men?

And the princes H8269 of the Philistines H6430 were wroth H7107 (QalImpf) with him; and the princes H8269 of the Philistines H6430 said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, Make H7725 this fellow H376 return, H7725 (HiphImpv) that he may go again H7725 (QalImpf) to his place H4725 which thou hast appointed H6485 (HiphPerf) him, and let him not go down H3381 (QalImpf) with us to battle, H4421 lest in the battle H4421 he be an adversary H7854 to us: for wherewith should he reconcile H7521 (HithImpf) himself unto his master? H113 should it not be with the heads H7218 of these men? H582

και ελυπηθησαν επ αυτω οι στρατηγοι των αλλοφυλων και λεγουσιν αυτω αποστρεψον τον ανδρα εις τον τοπον αυτου ου κατεστησας αυτον εκει και μη ερχεσθω μεθ ημων εις τον πολεμον και μη γινεσθω επιβουλος της παρεμβολης και εν τινι διαλλαγησεται ουτος τω κυριω αυτου ουχι εν ταις κεφαλαις των ανδρων εκεινων

David said to Achish, “But what have I done? What have you found in your servant so long as I have been before you to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”

And David H1732 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Achish, H397 But what have I done? H6213 (QalPerf) and what hast thou found H4672 (QalPerf) in thy servant H5650 so long as H3117 I have been with thee H6440 unto this day, H3117 that I may not go H935 (QalImpf) fight H3898 (NiphPerf) against the enemies H341 (QalActPtc) of my lord H113 the king? H4428

και ειπεν δαυιδ προς αγχους τι πεποιηκα σοι και τι ευρες εν τω δουλω σου αφ ης ημερας ημην ενωπιον σου και εως της ημερας ταυτης οτι ου μη ελθω πολεμησαι τους εχθρους του κυριου μου του βασιλεως

When David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid on the South and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag and burned it with fire,

And it came to pass, when David H1732 and his men H582 were come H935 (QalInf) to Ziklag H6860 on the third H7992 day, H3117 that the Amalekites H6003 had invaded H6584 (QalPerf) the south, H5045 and Ziklag, H6860 and smitten H5221 (HiphImpf) Ziklag, H6860 and burned H8313 (QalImpf) it with fire; H784

και εγενηθη εισελθοντος δαυιδ και των ανδρων αυτου εις σεκελακ τη ημερα τη τριτη και αμαληκ επεθετο επι τον νοτον και επι σεκελακ και επαταξεν την σεκελακ και ενεπυρισεν αυτην εν πυρι

It was so from that day forward that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.

And it was so from that day H3117 forward,^§ H4605 that he made H7760 (QalImpf) it a statute H2706 and an ordinance H4941 for Israel H3478 unto this day. H3117

1 Samuel 30:25 Heb. and forward

και εγενηθη απο της ημερας εκεινης και επανω και εγενετο εις προσταγμα και εις δικαιωμα τω ισραηλ εως της σημερον

On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

και εγενηθη τη επαυριον και ερχονται οι αλλοφυλοι εκδιδυσκειν τους νεκρους και ευρισκουσιν τον σαουλ και τους τρεις υιους αυτου πεπτωκοτας επι τα ορη γελβουε

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

Now it came to pass after H310 the death H4194 of Saul, H7586 when David H1732 was returned H7725 (QalPerf) from the slaughter H5221 (HiphInf) of the Amalekites, H6002 and David H1732 had abode H3427 (QalImpf) two H8147 days H3117 in Ziklag; H6860

και εγενετο μετα το αποθανειν σαουλ και δαυιδ ανεστρεψεν τυπτων τον αμαληκ και εκαθισεν δαυιδ εν σεκελακ ημερας δυο

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 1:2 “Behold”, from “הִנֵּה”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection.

it came even to pass on the third H7992 day, H3117 that, behold, a man H376 came H935 (QalActPtc) out of the camp H4264 from Saul H7586 with his clothes H899 rent, H7167 (QalPasPtc) and earth H127 upon his head: H7218 and so it was, when he came H935 (QalInf) to David, H1732 that he fell H5307 (QalImpf) to the earth, H776 and did obeisance. H7812 (HithImpf)

και εγενηθη τη ημερα τη τριτη και ιδου ανηρ ηλθεν εκ της παρεμβολης εκ του λαου σαουλ και τα ιματια αυτου διερρωγοτα και γη επι της κεφαλης αυτου και εγενετο εν τω εισελθειν αυτον προς δαυιδ και επεσεν επι την γην και προσεκυνησεν αυτω

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.”

And David H1732 said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, How H4100 went^§ the matter? H1697 I pray thee, tell H5046 (HiphImpv) me. And he answered, H559 (QalImpf) That the people H5971 are fled H5127 (QalPerf) from the battle, H4421 and many H7235 (HiphInf) of the people H5971 also are fallen H5307 (QalPerf) and dead; H4191 (QalImpf) and Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 his son H1121 are dead H4191 (QalPerf) also.

2 Samuel 1:4 Heb. What was, etc.

και ειπεν αυτω δαυιδ τις ο λογος ουτος απαγγειλον μοι και ειπεν οτι εφυγεν ο λαος εκ του πολεμου και πεπτωκασι πολλοι εκ του λαου και απεθανον και απεθανεν και σαουλ και ιωναθαν ο υιος αυτου απεθανεν

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.”

And it came to pass after this, H310 that David H1732 enquired H7592 (QalImpf) of the Lord, H3068 saying, H559 (QalInf) Shall I go up H5927 (QalImpf) into any H259 of the cities H5892 of Judah? H3063 And the Lord H3068 said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, Go up. H5927 (QalImpv) And David H1732 said, H559 (QalImpf) Whither shall I go up? H5927 (QalImpf) And he said, H559 (QalImpf) Unto Hebron. H2275

και εγενετο μετα ταυτα και επηρωτησεν δαυιδ εν κυριω λεγων ει αναβω εις μιαν των πολεων ιουδα και ειπεν κυριος προς αυτον αναβηθι και ειπεν δαυιδ που αναβω και ειπεν εις χεβρων

Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.”

Therefore now let your hands H3027 be strengthened, H2388 (QalImpf) and be ye valiant:^§ H1121 H2428 for your master H113 Saul H7586 is dead, H4191 (QalPerf) and also the house H1004 of Judah H3063 have anointed H4886 (QalPerf) me king H4428 over them.

2 Samuel 2:7 Heb. be ye the sons of valor

και νυν κραταιουσθωσαν αι χειρες υμων και γινεσθε εις υιους δυνατους οτι τεθνηκεν ο κυριος υμων σαουλ και γε εμε κεχρικεν ο οικος ιουδα εφ εαυτους εις βασιλεα

Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.

Ish-bosheth H378 Saul’s H7586 son H1121 was forty H705 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign H4427 (QalInf) over Israel, H3478 and reigned H4427 (QalPerf) two H8147 years. H8141 But the house H1004 of Judah H3063 followed H310 David. H1732

τεσσαρακοντα ετων ιεβοσθε υιος σαουλ οτε εβασιλευσεν επι τον ισραηλ και δυο ετη εβασιλευσεν πλην του οικου ιουδα οι ησαν οπισω δαυιδ

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

And the time^§ H4557 H3117 that David H1732 was king H4428 in Hebron H2275 over the house H1004 of Judah H3063 was seven H7651 years H8141 and six H8337 months. H2320

2 Samuel 2:11 Heb. number of days

και εγενοντο αι ημεραι ας δαυιδ εβασιλευσεν εν χεβρων επι τον οικον ιουδα επτα ετη και εξ μηνας

και εγενετο ο πολεμος σκληρος ωστε λιαν εν τη ημερα εκεινη και επταισεν αβεννηρ και ανδρες ισραηλ ενωπιον παιδων δαυιδ

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

And there were three H7969 sons H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 there, Joab, H3097 and Abishai, H52 and Asahel: H6214 and Asahel H6214 was as light H7031 of foot^§ H7272 as a H259 wild H7704 roe.^§ H6643

και εγενοντο εκει τρεις υιοι σαρουιας ιωαβ και αβεσσα και ασαηλ και ασαηλ κουφος τοις ποσιν αυτου ωσει μια δορκας εν αγρω

However, he refused to turn away. 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.

Howbeit he refused H3985 (PielImpf) to turn aside: H5493 (QalInf) wherefore Abner H74 with the hinder end H310 of the spear H2595 smote H5221 (HiphImpf) him under H413 the fifth H2570 rib, that the spear H2595 came out H3318 (QalImpf) behind H310 him; and he fell down H5307 (QalImpf) there, and died H4191 (QalImpf) in the same place: H8478 and it came to pass, that as many as came H935 (QalActPtc) to the place H4725 where Asahel H6214 fell down H5307 (QalPerf) and died H4191 (QalImpf) stood still. H5975 (QalImpf)

και ουκ εβουλετο του αποστηναι και τυπτει αυτον αβεννηρ εν τω οπισω του δορατος επι την ψοαν και διεξηλθεν το δορυ εκ των οπισω αυτου και πιπτει εκει και αποθνησκει υποκατω αυτου και εγενετο πας ο ερχομενος εως του τοπου ου επεσεν εκει ασαηλ και απεθανεν και υφιστατο

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

And the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 gathered themselves together H6908 (HithImpf) after H310 Abner, H74 and became one H259 troop, H92 and stood H5975 (QalImpf) on the top H7218 of an hill. H1389

και συναθροιζονται υιοι βενιαμιν οι οπισω αβεννηρ και εγενηθησαν εις συναντησιν μιαν και εστησαν επι κεφαλην βουνου ενος

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?”

Then Abner H74 called H7121 (QalImpf) to Joab, H3097 and said, H559 (QalImpf) Shall the sword H2719 devour H398 (QalImpf) for ever? H5331 knowest H3045 (QalPerf) thou not that it will be bitterness H4751 in the latter end? H314 how long shall it be then, ere thou bid H559 (QalImpf) the people H5971 return H7725 (QalInf) from following H310 their brethren? H251

και εκαλεσεν αβεννηρ ιωαβ και ειπεν μη εις νικος καταφαγεται η ρομφαια η ουκ οιδας οτι πικρα εσται εις τα εσχατα και εως ποτε ου μη ειπης τω λαω αναστρεφειν απο οπισθεν των αδελφων ημων

Now there was a long war between Saul’s house and David’s house. David grew stronger and stronger, but Saul’s house grew weaker and weaker.
