και ειπεν τουτο εσται το δικαιωμα του βασιλεως ος βασιλευσει εφ υμας τους υιους υμων λημψεται και θησεται αυτους εν αρμασιν αυτου και ιππευσιν αυτου και προτρεχοντας των αρματων αυτου

The donkeys of Kish, Saul’s father, were lost. Kish said to Saul his son, “Now take one of the servants with you, and arise, go look for the donkeys.”

And the asses H860 of Kish H7027 Saul’s H7586 father H1 were lost. H6 (QalImpf) And Kish H7027 said H559 (QalImpf) to Saul H7586 his son, H1121 Take H3947 (QalImpv) now one H259 of the servants H5288 with thee, and arise, H6965 (QalImpv) go H3212 (QalImpv) seek H1245 (PielImpv) the asses. H860

When you have departed from me today, then you will find two men by Rachel’s tomb, on the border of Benjamin at Zelzah. They will tell you, ‘The donkeys which you went to look for have been found; and behold, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys and is anxious for you, saying, “What shall I do for my son?”’

When thou art departed H3212 (QalInf) from me H5978 to day, H3117 then thou shalt find H4672 (QalPerf) two H8147 men H582 by Rachel’s H7354 sepulchre H6900 in the border H1366 of Benjamin H1144 at Zelzah; H6766 and they will say H559 (QalPerf) unto thee, The asses H860 which thou wentest H1980 (QalPerf) to seek H1245 (PielInf) are found: H4672 (NiphPerf) and, lo, thy father H1 hath left H5203 (QalPerf) the care H1697 of^§ the asses, H860 and sorroweth H1672 (QalPerf) for you, saying, H559 (QalInf) What shall I do H6213 (QalImpf) for my son?

ως αν απελθης σημερον απ εμου και ευρησεις δυο ανδρας προς τοις ταφοις ραχηλ εν τω οριω βενιαμιν αλλομενους μεγαλα και ερουσιν σοι ευρηνται αι ονοι ας επορευθητε ζητειν και ιδου ο πατηρ σου αποτετινακται το ρημα των ονων και εδαψιλευσατο δι υμας λεγων τι ποιησω υπερ του υιου μου

When all who knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said to one another, “What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”

And it came to pass, when all that knew H3045 (QalActPtc) him beforetime H865 H8032 saw H7200 (QalImpf) that, behold, he prophesied H5012 (NiphPerf) among the prophets, H5030 then the people H5971 said H559 (QalImpf) one H376 to another,^§ H7453 What is this that is come unto the son H1121 of Kish?

and he said to the children of Israel, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.’

και ειπεν προς υιους ισραηλ ταδε ειπεν κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ λεγων εγω ανηγαγον τους υιους ισραηλ εξ αιγυπτου και εξειλαμην υμας εκ χειρος φαραω βασιλεως αιγυπτου και εκ πασων των βασιλειων των θλιβουσων υμας

He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families and the family of the Matrites was chosen. Then Saul the son of Kish was chosen; but when they looked for him, he could not be found.

When he had caused the tribe H7626 of Benjamin H1144 to come near H7126 (HiphImpf) by their families, H4940 the family H4940 of Matri H4309 was taken, H3920 (NiphImpf) and Saul H7586 the son H1121 of Kish H7027 was taken: H3920 (NiphImpf) and when they sought H1245 (PielImpf) him, he could not be found.

και προσαγει σκηπτρον βενιαμιν εις φυλας και κατακληρουται φυλη ματταρι και προσαγουσιν την φυλην ματταρι εις ανδρας και κατακληρουται σαουλ υιος κις και εζητει αυτον και ουχ ευρισκετο

But certain worthless fellows said, “How could this man save us?” They despised him, and brought him no tribute. But he held his peace.

But the children H1121 of Belial H1100 said, H559 (QalPerf) How shall this man save H3467 (HiphImpf) us? And they despised H959 (QalImpf) him, and brought H935 (HiphPerf) him no presents. H4503 But he held his peace.^§ H2790 (HiphPtc)

1 Samuel 10:27 Or, he was, as though he had been deaf

και υιοι λοιμοι ειπαν τι σωσει ημας ουτος και ητιμασαν αυτον και ουκ ηνεγκαν αυτω δωρα

He counted them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

And when he numbered H6485 (QalImpf) them in Bezek, H966 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 were three H7969 hundred H3967 thousand, H505 and the men H376 of Judah H3063 thirty H7970 thousand. H505

και επισκεπτεται αυτους αβιεζεκ εν βαμα παν ανδρα ισραηλ εξακοσιας χιλιαδας και ανδρας ιουδα εβδομηκοντα χιλιαδας

Now, behold, the king walks before you. I am old and gray-headed. Behold, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my youth to this day.

And now, behold, the king H4428 walketh H1980 (HithPtc) before H6440 you: and I am old H2204 (QalPerf) and grayheaded; H7867 (QalPerf) and, behold, my sons H1121 are with you: and I have walked H1980 (HithPerf) before H6440 you from my childhood H5271 unto this day. H3117

και νυν ιδου ο βασιλευς διαπορευεται ενωπιον υμων καγω γεγηρακα και καθησομαι και οι υιοι μου ιδου εν υμιν καγω ιδου διεληλυθα ενωπιον υμων εκ νεοτητος μου και εως της ημερας ταυτης

“When you saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, you said to me, ‘No, but a king shall reign over us,’ when Yahweh your God was your king.

And when ye saw H7200 (QalImpf) that Nahash H5176 the king H4428 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 came H935 (QalPerf) against you, ye said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Nay; but a king H4428 shall reign H4427 (QalImpf) over us: when the Lord H3068 your God H430 was your king. H4428

και ειδετε οτι ναας βασιλευς υιων αμμων ηλθεν εφ υμας και ειπατε ουχι αλλ η οτι βασιλευς βασιλευσει εφ ημων και κυριος ο θεος ημων βασιλευς ημων

Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years.^‡

1 Samuel 13:1 The traditional Hebrew text omits “thirty” and “forty-”. The blanks are filled in here from a few manuscripts of the Septuagint.

Saul H7586 reigned H4427 (QalInf) one year;^§ H1121 H8141 and when he had reigned H4427 (QalPerf) two H8147 years H8141 over Israel, H3478

1 Samuel 13:1 Heb. the son of one year in his reigning

Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

And Saul, H7586 and Jonathan H3129 his son, H1121 and the people H5971 that were present H4672 (NiphPtc) with them, abode H3427 (QalActPtc) in Gibeah H1387 of Benjamin: H1144 but the Philistines H6430 encamped H2583 (QalPerf) in Michmash. H4363

και σαουλ και ιωναθαν υιος αυτου και ο λαος οι ευρεθεντες μετ αυτων εκαθισαν εν γαβεε βενιαμιν και εκλαιον και οι αλλοφυλοι παρεμβεβληκεισαν εις μαχεμας

So it came to pass in the day of battle that neither sword nor spear was found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.

So it came to pass in the day H3117 of battle, H4421 that there was neither sword H2719 nor spear H2595 found H4672 (NiphPerf) in the hand H3027 of any of the people H5971 that were with Saul H7586 and Jonathan: H3129 but with Saul H7586 and with Jonathan H3129 his son H1121 was there found. H4672 (NiphImpf)

και εγενηθη εν ταις ημεραις του πολεμου μαχεμας και ουχ ευρεθη ρομφαια και δορυ εν χειρι παντος του λαου του μετα σαουλ και μετα ιωναθαν και ευρεθη τω σαουλ και τω ιωναθαν υιω αυτου

Now it happened on a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he didn’t tell his father.

Now it came to pass^§ upon a day, H3117 that Jonathan H3129 the son H1121 of Saul H7586 said H559 (QalImpf) unto the young man H5288 that bare H5375 (QalActPtc) his armour, H3627 Come, H3212 (QalImpv) and let us go over H5674 (QalImpf) to the Philistines’ H6430 garrison, H4673 that is on the other side. H5676 H1975 But he told H5046 (HiphPerf) not his father. H1

1 Samuel 14:1 Or, there was a day

και γινεται ημερα και ειπεν ιωναθαν υιος σαουλ τω παιδαριω τω αιροντι τα σκευη αυτου δευρο και διαβωμεν εις μεσσαβ των αλλοφυλων την εν τω περαν εκεινω και τω πατρι αυτου ουκ απηγγειλεν

including Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of Yahweh in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t know that Jonathan was gone.

and Ahiah, H281 the son H1121 of Ahitub, H285 I-chabod’s H350 brother, H251 the son H1121 of Phinehas, H6372 the son H1121 of Eli, H5941 the Lord’s H3068 priest H3548 in Shiloh, H7887 wearing H5375 (QalActPtc) an ephod. H646 And the people H5971 knew H3045 (QalPerf) not that Jonathan H3129 was gone. H1980 (QalPerf)

και αχια υιος αχιτωβ αδελφου ιωχαβηδ υιου φινεες υιου ηλι ιερευς του θεου εν σηλωμ αιρων εφουδ και ο λαος ουκ ηδει οτι πεπορευται ιωναθαν

Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring God’s ark here.” For God’s ark was with the children of Israel at that time.

And Saul H7586 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Ahiah, H281 Bring hither H5066 (HiphImpv) the ark H727 of God. H430 For the ark H727 of God H430 was at that time H3117 with the children H1121 of Israel. H3478

και ειπεν σαουλ τω αχια προσαγαγε το εφουδ οτι αυτος ηρεν το εφουδ εν τη ημερα εκεινη ενωπιον ισραηλ

and the people pounced on the plunder, and took sheep, cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.

And the people H5971 flew H5860 (QalImpf) H6213 (QalImpf) upon the spoil, H7998 and took H3947 (QalImpf) sheep, H6629 and oxen, H1241 and calves, H1121 and slew H7819 (QalImpf) them on the ground: H776 and the people H5971 did eat H398 (QalImpf) them with the blood. H1818

και εκλιθη ο λαος εις τα σκυλα και ελαβεν ο λαος ποιμνια και βουκολια και τεκνα βοων και εσφαξεν επι την γην και ησθιεν ο λαος συν τω αιματι

For as Yahweh lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.

For, as the Lord H3068 liveth, H2416 which saveth H3467 (HiphPtc) Israel, H3478 though it be H3426 in Jonathan H3129 my son, H1121 he shall surely H4191 (QalInf) die. H4191 (QalImpf) But there was not a man among all the people H5971 that answered H6030 (QalActPtc) him.

οτι ζη κυριος ο σωσας τον ισραηλ οτι εαν αποκριθη κατα ιωναθαν του υιου μου θανατω αποθανειται και ουκ ην ο αποκρινομενος εκ παντος του λαου

Then he said to all Israel, “You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” The people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”

Then said H559 (QalImpf) he unto all Israel, H3478 Be ye on one H259 side, H5676 and I and Jonathan H3129 my son H1121 will be on the other H259 side. H5676 And the people H5971 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Saul, H7586 Do H6213 (QalImpv) what seemeth H5869 good H2896 unto thee.

και ειπεν παντι ισραηλ υμεις εσεσθε εις δουλειαν και εγω και ιωναθαν ο υιος μου εσομεθα εις δουλειαν και ειπεν ο λαος προς σαουλ το αγαθον ενωπιον σου ποιει

Therefore Saul said to Yahweh, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people escaped.

Therefore Saul H7586 said H559 (QalImpf) unto the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 Give^§ H3051 (QalImpv) a perfect H8549 lot. And Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3129 were taken: H3920 (NiphImpf) but the people H5971 escaped.^§ H3318 (QalPerf)

1 Samuel 14:41a Or, shew the innocent
1 Samuel 14:41b Heb. went forth

και ειπεν σαουλ κυριε ο θεος ισραηλ τι οτι ουκ απεκριθης τω δουλω σου σημερον ει εν εμοι η εν ιωναθαν τω υιω μου η αδικια κυριε ο θεος ισραηλ δος δηλους και εαν ταδε ειπης εν τω λαω σου ισραηλ δος δη οσιοτητα και κληρουται ιωναθαν και σαουλ και ο λαος εξηλθεν

Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan was selected.

And Saul H7586 said, H559 (QalImpf) Cast H5307 (HiphImpv) lots between me and Jonathan H3129 my son. H1121 And Jonathan H3129 was taken. H3920 (NiphImpf)

και ειπεν σαουλ βαλετε ανα μεσον εμου και ανα μεσον ιωναθαν του υιου μου ον αν κατακληρωσηται κυριος αποθανετω και ειπεν ο λαος προς σαουλ ουκ εστιν το ρημα τουτο και κατεκρατησεν σαουλ του λαου και βαλλουσιν ανα μεσον αυτου και ανα μεσον ιωναθαν του υιου αυτου και κατακληρουται ιωναθαν

Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side: against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned himself, he defeated them.

So Saul H7586 took H3920 (QalPerf) the kingdom H4410 over Israel, H3478 and fought H3898 (NiphImpf) against all his enemies H341 (QalActPtc) on every side, H5439 against Moab, H4124 and against the children H1121 of Ammon, H5983 and against Edom, H123 and against the kings H4428 of Zobah, H6678 and against the Philistines: H6430 and whithersoever he turned H6437 (QalImpf) himself, he vexed H7561 (HiphImpf) them.

και σαουλ κατακληρουται εργον επι ισραηλ και επολεμει κυκλω παντας τους εχθρους αυτου εις τον μωαβ και εις τους υιους αμμων και εις τους υιους εδωμ και εις τον βαιθεωρ και εις βασιλεα σουβα και εις τους αλλοφυλους ου αν εστραφη εσωζετο

Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.

Now the sons H1121 of Saul H7586 were Jonathan, H3129 and Ishui, H3440 and Melchi-shua: H4444 and the names H8034 of his two H8147 daughters H1323 were these; the name H8034 of the firstborn H1067 Merab, H4764 and the name H8034 of the younger H6996 Michal: H4324

και ησαν υιοι σαουλ ιωναθαν και ιεσσιου και μελχισα και ονοματα των δυο θυγατερων αυτου ονομα τη πρωτοτοκω μεροβ και ονομα τη δευτερα μελχολ

The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.

and the name H8034 of Saul’s H7586 wife H802 was Ahinoam, H293 the daughter H1323 of Ahimaaz: H290 and the name H8034 of the captain H8269 of his host H6635 was Abner, H74 the son H1121 of Ner, H5369 Saul’s H7586 uncle. H1730

και ονομα τη γυναικι αυτου αχινοομ θυγατηρ αχιμαας και ονομα τω αρχιστρατηγω αβεννηρ υιος νηρ υιου οικειου σαουλ

Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

And Kish H7027 was the father H1 of Saul; H7586 and Ner H5369 the father H1 of Abner H74 was the son H1121 of Abiel. H22

και κις πατηρ σαουλ και νηρ πατηρ αβεννηρ υιος ιαμιν υιου αβιηλ

There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he took him into his service.

And there was sore H2389 war H4421 against the Philistines H6430 all the days H3117 of Saul: H7586 and when Saul H7586 saw H7200 (QalPerf) any strong H1368 man, H376 or any valiant H2428 man, H1121 he took H622 (QalImpf) him unto him.

και ην ο πολεμος κραταιος επι τους αλλοφυλους πασας τας ημερας σαουλ και ιδων σαουλ παντα ανδρα δυνατον και παντα ανδρα υιον δυναμεως και συνηγαγεν αυτους προς αυτον

Saul said to the Kenites, “Go, depart, go down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for you showed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt.” So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

And Saul H7586 said H559 (QalImpf) unto the Kenites, H7017 Go, H3212 (QalImpv) depart, H5493 (QalImpv) get you down H3381 (QalImpv) from among H8432 the Amalekites, H6002 lest I destroy H622 (QalImpf) you with them: for ye shewed H6213 (QalPerf) kindness H2617 to all the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 when they came up H5927 (QalInf) out of Egypt. H4714 So the Kenites H7017 departed H5493 (QalImpf) from among H8432 the Amalekites. H6003

και ειπεν σαουλ προς τον κιναιον απελθε και εκκλινον εκ μεσου του αμαληκιτου μη προσθω σε μετ αυτου και συ εποιησας ελεος μετα των υιων ισραηλ εν τω αναβαινειν αυτους εξ αιγυπτου και εξεκλινεν ο κιναιος εκ μεσου αμαληκ

Yahweh said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided a king for myself among his sons.”

And the Lord H3068 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Samuel, H8050 How long wilt thou mourn H56 (HithPtc) for Saul, H7586 seeing I have rejected H3988 (QalPerf) him from reigning H4427 (QalInf) over Israel? H3478 fill H4390 (PielImpv) thine horn H7161 with oil, H8081 and go, H3212 (QalImpv) I will send H7971 (QalImpf) thee to Jesse H3448 the Beth-lehemite: H1022 for I have provided H7200 (QalPerf) me a king H4428 among his sons. H1121

και ειπεν κυριος προς σαμουηλ εως ποτε συ πενθεις επι σαουλ καγω εξουδενωκα αυτον μη βασιλευειν επι ισραηλ πλησον το κερας σου ελαιου και δευρο αποστειλω σε προς ιεσσαι εως εις βηθλεεμ οτι εορακα εν τοις υιοις αυτου εμοι βασιλευειν

He said, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to Yahweh. Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” He sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.

And he said, H559 (QalImpf) Peaceably: H7965 I am come H935 (QalPerf) to sacrifice H2076 (QalInf) unto the Lord: H3068 sanctify H6942 (HithImpv) yourselves, and come H935 (QalPerf) with me to the sacrifice. H2077 And he sanctified H6942 (PielImpf) Jesse H3448 and his sons, H1121 and called H7121 (QalImpf) them to the sacrifice. H2077

και ειπεν ειρηνη θυσαι τω κυριω ηκω αγιασθητε και ευφρανθητε μετ εμου σημερον και ηγιασεν τον ιεσσαι και τους υιους αυτου και εκαλεσεν αυτους εις την θυσιαν

Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. Samuel said to Jesse, “Yahweh has not chosen these.”

Again, Jesse H3448 made seven H7651 of his sons H1121 to pass H5674 (HiphImpf) before H6440 Samuel. H8050 And Samuel H8050 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Jesse, H3448 The Lord H3068 hath not chosen H977 (QalPerf) these.

και παρηγαγεν ιεσσαι τους επτα υιους αυτου ενωπιον σαμουηλ και ειπεν σαμουηλ ουκ εξελεξατο κυριος εν τουτοις

Then one of the young men answered and said, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is skillful in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and Yahweh is with him.”

Then answered H6030 (QalImpf) one H259 of the servants, H5288 and said, H559 (QalImpf) Behold, I have seen H7200 (QalPerf) a son H1121 of Jesse H3448 the Beth-lehemite, H1022 that is cunning H3045 (QalActPtc) in playing, H5059 (PielInf) and a mighty H1368 valiant man, H2428 and a man H376 of war, H4421 and prudent H995 (NiphPtc) in matters,^§ H1697 and a comely H8389 person, H376 and the Lord H3068 is with him.

1 Samuel 16:18 Or, speech

και απεκριθη εις των παιδαριων αυτου και ειπεν ιδου εορακα υιον τω ιεσσαι βηθλεεμιτην και αυτον ειδοτα ψαλμον και ο ανηρ συνετος και ο ανηρ πολεμιστης και σοφος λογω και ανηρ αγαθος τω ειδει και κυριος μετ αυτου

Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, “Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.”

Wherefore Saul H7586 sent H7971 (QalImpf) messengers H4397 unto Jesse, H3448 and said, H559 (QalImpf) Send H7971 (QalImpv) me David H1732 thy son, H1121 which is with the sheep. H6629

και απεστειλεν σαουλ αγγελους προς ιεσσαι λεγων αποστειλον προς με τον υιον σου δαυιδ τον εν τω ποιμνιω σου

Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a container of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by David his son to Saul.

And Jesse H3448 took H3947 (QalImpf) an ass H2543 laden with bread, H3899 and a bottle H4997 of wine, H3196 and a H259 kid, H1423 H5795 and sent H7971 (QalImpf) them by H3027 David H1732 his son H1121 unto Saul. H7586

και ελαβεν ιεσσαι γομορ αρτων και ασκον οινου και εριφον αιγων ενα και εξαπεστειλεν εν χειρι δαυιδ του υιου αυτου προς σαουλ

Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. The man was an elderly old man in the days of Saul.

Now David H1732 was the son H1121 of that Ephrathite H376 H673 of Beth-lehem-judah, H1035 H3063 whose name H8034 was Jesse; H3448 and he had eight H8083 sons: H1121 and the man H376 went H935 (QalPerf) among men H582 for an old man H2204 (QalPerf) in the days H3117 of Saul. H7586

The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

And the three H7969 eldest H1419 sons H1121 of Jesse H3448 went H3212 (QalImpf) and followed H310 Saul H7586 to the battle: H4421 and the names H8034 of his three H7969 sons H1121 that went H1980 (QalPerf) to the battle H4421 were Eliab H446 the firstborn, H1060 and next H4932 unto him Abinadab, H41 and the third H7992 Shammah. H8048

Jesse said to David his son, “Now take for your brothers an ephah° of this parched grain and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to your brothers;

1 Samuel 17:17 1 ephah is about 22 liters or about ²⁄₃ of a bushel

And Jesse H3448 said H559 (QalImpf) unto David H1732 his son, H1121 Take H3947 (QalImpv) now for thy brethren H251 an ephah H374 of this H2088 parched H7039 corn, and these ten H6235 loaves, H3899 and run H7323 (HiphImpv) to the camp H4264 to thy brethren; H251

The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.

And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 returned H7725 (QalImpf) from chasing H1814 (QalInf) after H310 the Philistines, H6430 and they spoiled H8155 (QalImpf) their tents. H4264

και ανεστρεψαν ανδρες ισραηλ εκκλινοντες οπισω των αλλοφυλων και κατεπατουν τας παρεμβολας αυτων

When Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army, “Abner, whose son is this youth?” Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I can’t tell.”

And when Saul H7586 saw H7200 (QalInf) David H1732 go forth H3318 (QalActPtc) against H7125 (QalInf) the Philistine, H6430 he said H559 (QalPerf) unto Abner, H74 the captain H8269 of the host, H6635 Abner, H74 whose son H1121 is this youth? H5288 And Abner H74 said, H559 (QalImpf) As thy soul H5315 liveth, H2416 O king, H4428 I cannot H518 tell. H3045 (QalPerf)

The king said, “Inquire whose son the young man is!”

And the king H4428 said, H559 (QalImpf) Enquire H7592 (QalImpv) thou whose son H1121 the stripling H5958 is.

Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, you young man?” David answered, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”

And Saul H7586 said H559 (QalImpf) to him, Whose son H1121 art thou, thou young man? H5288 And David H1732 answered, H559 (QalImpf) I am the son H1121 of thy servant H5650 Jesse H3448 the Beth-lehemite. H1022

Saul said to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Yahweh’s battles.” For Saul said, “Don’t let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”

And Saul H7586 said H559 (QalImpf) to David, H1732 Behold my elder H1419 daughter H1323 Merab, H4764 her will I give H5414 (QalImpf) thee to wife: H802 only be thou valiant^§ H1121 H2428 for me, and fight H3898 (NiphImpv) the Lord’s H3068 battles. H4421 For Saul H7586 said, H559 (QalPerf) Let not mine hand H3027 be upon him, but let the hand H3027 of the Philistines H6430 be upon him.

1 Samuel 18:17 Heb. a son of valour

Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, greatly delighted in David.

And Saul H7586 spake H1696 (PielImpf) to Jonathan H3129 his son, H1121 and to all his servants, H5650 that they should kill H4191 (HiphInf) David. H1732

και ελαλησεν σαουλ προς ιωναθαν τον υιον αυτου και προς παντας τους παιδας αυτου θανατωσαι τον δαυιδ και ιωναθαν υιος σαουλ ηρειτο τον δαυιδ σφοδρα

Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, live in a secret place, and hide yourself.

But Jonathan H3083 Saul’s H7586 son H1121 delighted H2654 (QalPerf) much H3966 in David: H1732 and Jonathan H3083 told H5046 (HiphImpf) David, H1732 saying, H559 (QalInf) Saul H7586 my father H1 seeketh H1245 (PielPtc) to kill H4191 (HiphInf) thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed H8104 (NiphImpv) to thyself until the morning, H1242 and abide H3427 (QalPerf) in a secret H5643 place, and hide H2244 (NiphPerf) thyself:

και απηγγειλεν ιωναθαν τω δαυιδ λεγων σαουλ ζητει θανατωσαι σε φυλαξαι ουν αυριον πρωι και κρυβηθι και καθισον κρυβη

On the next day after the new moon, the second day, David’s place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why didn’t the son of Jesse come to eat, either yesterday, or today?”

And it came to pass on the morrow, H4283 which was the second H8145 day of the month, H2320 that David’s H1732 place H4725 was empty: H6485 (NiphImpf) and Saul H7586 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Jonathan H3083 his son, H1121 Wherefore cometh H935 (QalPerf) not the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 to meat, H3899 neither yesterday, H8543 nor to day? H3117

και εγενηθη τη επαυριον του μηνος τη ημερα τη δευτερα και επεσκεπη ο τοπος του δαυιδ και ειπεν σαουλ προς ιωναθαν τον υιον αυτου τι οτι ου παραγεγονεν ο υιος ιεσσαι και εχθες και σημερον επι την τραπεζαν

Then Saul’s anger burned against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don’t I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?

Then Saul’s H7586 anger H639 was kindled H2734 (QalImpf) against Jonathan, H3083 and he said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, Thou son H1121 of the perverse H5753 (NiphPtc) rebellious H4780 woman,^§ do not I know H3045 (QalPerf) that thou hast chosen H977 (QalActPtc) the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 to thine own confusion, H1322 and unto the confusion H1322 of thy mother’s H517 nakedness? H6172

1 Samuel 20:30 Or, thou perverse rebell. Heb. son of perverse rebellion

και εθυμωθη οργη σαουλ επι ιωναθαν σφοδρα και ειπεν αυτω υιε κορασιων αυτομολουντων ου γαρ οιδα οτι μετοχος ει συ τω υιω ιεσσαι εις αισχυνην σου και εις αισχυνην αποκαλυψεως μητρος σου

For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you will not be established, nor will your kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die!”

For as long as H3117 the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 liveth H2425 (QalPerf) upon the ground, H127 thou shalt not be established, H3559 (NiphImpf) nor thy kingdom. H4438 Wherefore now send H7971 (QalImpv) and fetch H3947 (QalImpv) him unto me, for he shall surely die.^§ H1121 H4194

1 Samuel 20:31 Heb. is the son of death

οτι πασας τας ημερας ας ο υιος ιεσσαι ζη επι της γης ουχ ετοιμασθησεται η βασιλεια σου νυν ουν αποστειλας λαβε τον νεανιαν οτι υιος θανατου ουτος

Saul said to his servants who stood around him, “Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds?

then Saul H7586 said H559 (QalImpf) unto his servants H5650 that stood H5324 (NiphPtc) about him, Hear now, H8085 (QalImpv) ye Benjamites; H1145 will the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 give H5414 (QalImpf) every one of you fields H7704 and vineyards, H3754 and make H7760 (QalImpf) you all captains H8269 of thousands, H505 and captains H8269 of hundreds; H3967

και ειπεν σαουλ προς τους παιδας αυτου τους παρεστηκοτας αυτω και ειπεν αυτοις ακουσατε δη υιοι βενιαμιν ει αληθως πασιν υμιν δωσει ο υιος ιεσσαι αγρους και αμπελωνας και παντας υμας ταξει εκατονταρχους και χιλιαρχους

Is that why all of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who discloses to me when my son makes a treaty with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is today?”

that all of you have conspired H7194 (QalPerf) against me, and there is none that sheweth H1540 (QalActPtc) H241 me^§ that my son H1121 hath made a league H3772 (QalInf) with the son H1121 of Jesse, H3448 and there is none of you that is sorry H2470 (QalActPtc) for me, or sheweth H1540 (QalActPtc) H241 unto me that my son H1121 hath stirred up H6965 (HiphPerf) my servant H5650 against me, to lie in wait, H693 (QalActPtc) as at this day? H3117

1 Samuel 22:8 Heb. uncovereth mine ear

οτι συγκεισθε παντες υμεις επ εμε και ουκ εστιν ο αποκαλυπτων το ωτιον μου εν τω διαθεσθαι τον υιον μου διαθηκην μετα του υιου ιεσσαι και ουκ εστιν πονων περι εμου εξ υμων και αποκαλυπτων το ωτιον μου οτι επηγειρεν ο υιος μου τον δουλον μου επ εμε εις εχθρον ως η ημερα αυτη
