book: Judg

Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit  in length; and he wore it under his clothing on his right thigh.

Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go.”


book: Judg

She said, “I will surely go with you. Nevertheless, the journey that you take won’t be for your honour; for the LORD will sell Sisera into a woman’s hand.” Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.

Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh. Ten thousand men followed him; and Deborah went up with him.


book: Judg

Deborah said to Barak, “Go; for this is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Hasn’t the LORD gone out before you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.


book: Judg

The LORD confused Sisera, all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak. Sisera abandoned his chariot and fled away on his feet.


book: Judg

But Barak pursued the chariots and the army to Harosheth of the Gentiles; and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword. There was not a man left.


book: Judg

However Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.


book: Judg

Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, “Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; don’t be afraid.” He came in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.


book: Judg

He said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty.”
She opened a container of milk, and gave him a drink, and covered him.


book: Judg

To hear the whistling for the flocks?
At the watercourses of Reuben,

It was so; for he rose up early on the next day, and pressed the fleece together, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.


book: Judg
contenido:
Gideon said to God, “Don’t let your anger be kindled against me, and I will speak but this once. Please let me make a trial just this once with the fleece. Let it now be dry only on the fleece, and on all the ground let there be dew.”


book: Judg
contenido:
Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him, rose up early and encamped beside the spring of Harod. Midian’s camp was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.


book: Judg

The LORD said to Gideon, “The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel brag against me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’


book: Judg

Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.’” So twenty-two thousand of the people returned, and ten thousand remained.


book: Judg
contenido:
The LORD said to Gideon, “There are still too many people. Bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. It shall be, that those whom I tell you, ‘This shall go with you,’ shall go with you; and whoever I tell you, ‘This shall not go with you,’ shall not go.”


book: Judg

So he brought down the people to the water; and the LORD said to Gideon, “Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, like a dog laps, you shall set him by himself; likewise everyone who bows down on his knees to drink.”


book: Judg

The number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people bowed down on their knees to drink water.


book: Judg

The LORD said to Gideon, “I will save you by the three hundred men who lapped, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, each to his own place.”


book: Judg

So the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the rest of the men of Israel to their own tents, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.


book: Judg

That same night, the LORD said to him, “Arise, go down into the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.


book: Judg

You will hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened to go down into the camp.” Then went he down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who were in the camp.


book: Judg

The Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is on the seashore for multitude.


book: Judg
contenido:
When Gideon had come, behold, there was a man telling a dream to his fellow. He said, “Behold, I dreamt a dream; and behold, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.”


book: Judg
contenido:
His fellow answered, “This is nothing other than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel. God has delivered Midian into his hand, with all the army.”


book: Judg
contenido:
It was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, that he worshipped. Then he returned into the camp of Israel and said, “Arise, for the LORD has delivered the army of Midian into your hand!”


book: Judg
contenido:
He divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all them trumpets and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.


book: Judg
contenido:
He said to them, “Watch me, and do likewise. Behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so you shall do.


book: Judg
contenido:
When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and shout, ‘For the LORD and for Gideon!’”


book: Judg
contenido:
So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch. Then they blew the trumpets and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.


book: Judg

The three companies blew the trumpets, broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands with which to blow; and they shouted, “The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!”


book: Judg

They each stood in his place around the camp, and all the army ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.


book: Judg

They blew the three hundred trumpets, and the LORD set every man’s sword against his fellow and against all the army; and the army fled as far as Beth Shittah towards Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.

The men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued Midian.


book: Judg

Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against Midian and take the waters before them as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan!” So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together and took the waters as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan.


book: Judg
contenido:
They took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. They killed Oreb at Oreb’s rock, and Zeeb they killed at Zeeb’s wine press, as they pursued Midian. Then they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.


book: Judg
contenido:
The men of Ephraim said to him, “Why have you treated us this way, that you didn’t call us when you went to fight with Midian?” They rebuked him sharply.


book: Judg
contenido:
He said to them, “What have I now done in comparison with you? Isn’t the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?


book: Judg
contenido:
God has delivered into your hand the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb! What was I able to do in comparison with you?” Then their anger was abated towards him when he had said that.


book: Judg

Gideon came to the Jordan and passed over, he and the three hundred men who were with him, faint, yet pursuing.


book: Judg

He said to the men of Succoth, “Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.”


book: Judg
contenido:
The princes of Succoth said, “Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your army?”


book: Judg
contenido:
Gideon said, “Therefore when the LORD has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.”


book: Judg
contenido:
He went up there to Penuel, and spoke to them in the same way; and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.


book: Judg

He spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, “When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.”


book: Judg

Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand men, all who were left of all the army of the children of the east; for there fell one hundred and twenty thousand men who drew sword.


book: Judg
contenido:
Gideon went up by the way of those who lived in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and struck the army; for the army felt secure.


book: Judg
contenido:
Zebah and Zalmunna fled and he pursued them. He took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and confused all the army.


book: Judg
contenido:
He caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him; and he described for him the princes of Succoth, and its elders, seventy-seven men.


book: Judg
contenido:
He came to the men of Succoth, and said, “See Zebah and Zalmunna, concerning whom you taunted me, saying, ‘Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your men who are weary?’”


book: Judg
contenido:
He took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.


book: Judg
contenido:
Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “What kind of men were they whom you killed at Tabor?”
They answered, “They were like you. They all resembled the children of a king.”


book: Judg
contenido:
He said, “They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As the LORD lives, if you had saved them alive, I would not kill you.”


book: Judg
contenido:
He said to Jether his firstborn, “Get up and kill them!” But the youth didn’t draw his sword; for he was afraid, because he was yet a youth.


book: Judg
contenido:
Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “You rise and fall on us; for as the man is, so is his strength.” Gideon arose, and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescents that were on their camels’ necks.


book: Judg
contenido:
Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over us, both you, your son, and your son’s son also; for you have saved us out of the hand of Midian.”


book: Judg
contenido:
Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you. The LORD shall rule over you.”


book: Judg
contenido:
Gideon said to them, “I do have a request: that you would each give me the earrings of his plunder.” (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)


book: Judg
contenido:
They answered, “We will willingly give them.” They spread a garment, and every man threw the earrings of his plunder into it.


book: Judg
contenido:
The weight of the golden earrings that he requested was one thousand and seven hundred shekels  of gold, in addition to the crescents, and the pendants, and the purple clothing that was on the kings of Midian, and in addition to the chains that were about their camels’ necks.


book: Judg

Gideon made an ephod out of it, and put it in Ophrah, his city. Then all Israel played the prostitute with it there; and it became a snare to Gideon and to his house.

book: Judg

As soon as Gideon was dead, the children of Israel turned again and played the prostitute following the Baals, and made Baal Berith their god.


book: Judg

The children of Israel didn’t remember the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side;


book: Judg
contenido:
neither did they show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shown to Israel.


book: Judg
contenido:
Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to his mother’s brothers, and spoke with them and with all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying,


book: Judg
contenido:
“Please speak in the ears of all the men of Shechem, ‘Is it better for you that all the sons of Jerubbaal, who are seventy persons, rule over you, or that one rule over you?’ Remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.”


book: Judg
contenido:
His mother’s brothers spoke of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words. Their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, “He is our brother.”


book: Judg
contenido:
They gave him seventy pieces of silver out of the house of Baal Berith, with which Abimelech hired vain and reckless fellows who followed him.


book: Judg
contenido:
He went to his father’s house at Ophrah, and killed his brothers the sons of Jerubbaal, being seventy persons, on one stone; but Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left, for he hid himself.


book: Judg
contenido:
All the men of Shechem assembled themselves together with all the house of Millo, and went and made Abimelech king by the oak of the pillar that was in Shechem.


book: Judg
contenido:
When they told it to Jotham, he went and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim and lifted up his voice, cried out, and said to them, “Listen to me, you men of Shechem, that God may listen to you.


book: Judg
contenido:
“But the olive tree said to them, ‘Should I stop producing my oil, with which they honour God and man by me, and go to wave back and forth over the trees?’


book: Judg

“But the fig tree said to them, ‘Should I leave my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to wave back and forth over the trees?’


book: Judg

“The vine said to them, ‘Should I leave my new wine, which cheers God and man, and go to wave back and forth over the trees?’


book: Judg

“The bramble said to the trees, ‘If in truth you anoint me king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade; and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.’


book: Judg
contenido:
“Now therefore, if you have dealt truly and righteously, in that you have made Abimelech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done to him according to the deserving of his hands


book: Judg
contenido:
and you have risen up against my father’s house today and have slain his sons, seventy persons, on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his female servant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother);


book: Judg
contenido:
if you then have dealt truly and righteously with Jerubbaal and with his house today, then rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you;


book: Judg
contenido:
but if not, let fire come out from Abimelech and devour the men of Shechem and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem and from the house of Millo and devour Abimelech.”


book: Judg
contenido:
Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech,


book: Judg
contenido:
that the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and that their blood might be laid on Abimelech their brother who killed them, and on the men of Shechem who strengthened his hands to kill his brothers.


book: Judg
contenido:
The men of Shechem set an ambush for him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all who came along that way by them; and Abimelech was told about it.


book: Judg
contenido:
Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brothers and went over to Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their trust in him.


book: Judg
contenido:
They went out into the field, harvested their vineyards, trod the grapes, celebrated, and went into the house of their god and ate and drank, and cursed Abimelech.


book: Judg
contenido:
Gaal the son of Ebed said, “Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Isn’t he the son of Jerubbaal? Isn’t Zebul his officer? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem, but why should we serve him?


book: Judg
contenido:
I wish that this people were under my hand! Then I would remove Abimelech.” He said to Abimelech, “Increase your army and come out!”


book: Judg
contenido:
He sent messengers to Abimelech craftily, saying, “Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brothers have come to Shechem; and behold, they incite the city against you.


book: Judg
contenido:
It shall be that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, you shall rise early and rush on the city. Behold, when he and the people who are with him come out against you, then may you do to them as you shall find occasion.”


book: Judg
contenido:
Abimelech rose up, and all the people who were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies.


book: Judg
contenido:
Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city. Abimelech rose up, and the people who were with him, from the ambush.


book: Judg
contenido:
When Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, “Behold, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains.”
Zebul said to him, “You see the shadows of the mountains as if they were men.”


book: Judg
contenido:
Gaal spoke again and said, “Behold, people are coming down by the middle of the land, and one company comes by the way of the oak of Meonenim.”


book: Judg
contenido:
Then Zebul said to him, “Now where is your mouth, that you said, ‘Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him?’ Isn’t this the people that you have despised? Please go out now and fight with them.”


book: Judg
contenido:
Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many fell wounded, even to the entrance of the gate.


book: Judg
contenido:
Abimelech lived at Arumah; and Zebul drove out Gaal and his brothers, that they should not dwell in Shechem.


book: Judg
contenido:
He took the people and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field; and he looked, and behold, the people came out of the city. So, he rose up against them and struck them.


book: Judg
contenido:
Abimelech and the companies that were with him rushed forward and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city; and the two companies rushed on all who were in the field and struck them.


book: Judg
contenido:
Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city and killed the people in it. He beat down the city and sowed it with salt.


book: Judg
contenido:
When all the men of the tower of Shechem heard of it, they entered into the stronghold of the house of Elberith.


book: Judg
contenido:
Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people who were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it up, and laid it on his shoulder. Then he said to the people who were with him, “What you have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done!”


book: Judg
contenido:
All the people likewise each cut down his bough, followed Abimelech, and put them at the base of the stronghold, and set the stronghold on fire over them, so that all the people of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.


book: Judg
contenido:
But there was a strong tower within the city, and all the men and women of the city fled there, and shut themselves in, and went up to the roof of the tower.


book: Judg
contenido:
Abimelech came to the tower and fought against it, and came near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire.


book: Judg
contenido:
Then he called hastily to the young man, his armour bearer, and said to him, “Draw your sword and kill me, that men not say of me, ‘A woman killed him.’ His young man thrust him through, and he died.”


book: Judg
contenido:
Thus God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father in killing his seventy brothers;


book: Judg
contenido:
and God repaid all the wickedness of the men of Shechem on their heads; and the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal came on them.


book: Judg
contenido:
After Abimelech, Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, arose to save Israel. He lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.


book: Judg

He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkey colts. They had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.


book: Judg
contenido:
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and served the Baals, the Ashtaroth, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines. They abandoned the LORD, and didn’t serve him.


book: Judg
contenido:
The LORD’s anger burnt against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the children of Ammon.


book: Judg
contenido:
They troubled and oppressed the children of Israel that year. For eighteen years they oppressed all the children of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.


book: Judg
contenido:
The children of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was very distressed.


book: Judg
contenido:
The children of Israel cried to the LORD, saying, “We have sinned against you, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baals.”


book: Judg
contenido:
The LORD said to the children of Israel, “Didn’t I save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?


book: Judg
contenido:
The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.


book: Judg
contenido:
The children of Israel said to the LORD, “We have sinned! Do to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, please, today.”


book: Judg
contenido:
They put away the foreign gods from amongst them and served the LORD; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.


book: Judg

Then the children of Ammon were gathered together and encamped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together and encamped in Mizpah.


book: Judg

The people, the princes of Gilead, said to one another, “Who is the man who will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”


book: Judg

Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour. He was the son of a prostitute. Gilead became the father of Jephthah.


book: Judg

Gilead’s wife bore him sons. When his wife’s sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out and said to him, “You will not inherit in our father’s house, for you are the son of another woman.”


book: Judg
contenido:
Then Jephthah fled from his brothers and lived in the land of Tob. Outlaws joined up with Jephthah, and they went out with him.


book: Judg
contenido:
When the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah out of the land of Tob.


book: Judg
contenido:
Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, “Didn’t you hate me, and drive me out of my father’s house? Why have you come to me now when you are in distress?”


book: Judg
contenido:
The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “Therefore we have turned again to you now, that you may go with us and fight with the children of Ammon. You will be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”


book: Judg
contenido:
Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, “If you bring me home again to fight with the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivers them before me, will I be your head?”


book: Judg
contenido:
The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “The LORD will be witness between us. Surely we will do what you say.”


book: Judg

Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them. Jephthah spoke all his words before the LORD in Mizpah.


book: Judg
contenido:
Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, “What do you have to do with me, that you have come to me to fight against my land?”


book: Judg
contenido:
The king of the children of Ammon answered the messengers of Jephthah, “Because Israel took away my land when he came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and to the Jordan. Now therefore restore that territory again peaceably.”


book: Judg
contenido:
and he said to him, “Jephthah says: Israel didn’t take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon;


book: Judg
contenido:
but when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh,


book: Judg
contenido:
then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, ‘Please let me pass through your land;’ but the king of Edom didn’t listen. In the same way, he sent to the king of Moab, but he refused; so Israel stayed in Kadesh.


book: Judg
contenido:
Then they went through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and they encamped on the other side of the Arnon; but they didn’t come within the border of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.


book: Judg
contenido:
Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, ‘Please let us pass through your land to my place.’


book: Judg

But Sihon didn’t trust Israel to pass through his border; but Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.


book: Judg

The LORD, the God of Israel, delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they struck them. So Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.


book: Judg
contenido:
They possessed all the border of the Amorites, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan.


book: Judg
contenido:
So now the LORD, the God of Israel, has dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and should you possess them?


book: Judg
contenido:
Won’t you possess that which Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whoever the LORD our God has dispossessed from before us, them will we possess.


book: Judg
contenido:
Now are you anything better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them?


book: Judg
contenido:
Israel lived in Heshbon and its towns, and in Aroer and its towns, and in all the cities that are along the side of the Arnon for three hundred years! Why didn’t you recover them within that time?


book: Judg
contenido:
Therefore I have not sinned against you, but you do me wrong to war against me. May The LORD the Judge be judge today between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.”


book: Judg
contenido:
However, the king of the children of Ammon didn’t listen to the words of Jephthah which he sent him.


book: Judg
contenido:
Then the LORD’s Spirit came on Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed over to the children of Ammon.


book: Judg

Jephthah vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, “If you will indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hand,


book: Judg

then it shall be, that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, it shall be the LORD’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.”


book: Judg

So Jephthah passed over to the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hand.


book: Judg

He struck them from Aroer until you come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and to Abelcheramim, with a very great slaughter. So the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.


book: Judg
contenido:
Jephthah came to Mizpah to his house; and behold, his daughter came out to meet him with tambourines and with dances. She was his only child. Besides her he had neither son nor daughter.


book: Judg
contenido:
When he saw her, he tore his clothes, and said, “Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low, and you are one of those who trouble me; for I have opened my mouth to the LORD, and I can’t go back.”


book: Judg
contenido:
She said to him, “My father, you have opened your mouth to the LORD; do to me according to that which has proceeded out of your mouth, because the LORD has taken vengeance for you on your enemies, even on the children of Ammon.”


book: Judg

Then she said to her father, “Let this thing be done for me. Leave me alone two months, that I may depart and go down on the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions.”


book: Judg

He said, “Go.” He sent her away for two months; and she departed, she and her companions, and mourned her virginity on the mountains.


book: Judg

At the end of two months, she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed. She was a virgin. It became a custom in Israel

that the daughters of Israel went yearly to celebrate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.


book: Judg
contenido:
The men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they said to Jephthah, “Why did you pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didn’t call us to go with you? We will burn your house around you with fire!”


book: Judg
contenido:
Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, you didn’t save me out of their hand.

Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for she pleases me well.”


book: Judg

Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and his mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion roared at him.

They couldn’t in three days declare the riddle.


book: Judg

On the seventh day, they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you called us to impoverish us? Isn’t that so?”


book: Judg

Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, “You just hate me, and don’t love me. You’ve told a riddle to the children of my people, and haven’t told it to me.”
He said to her, “Behold, I haven’t told my father or my mother, so why should I tell you?”


book: Judg

She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted; and on the seventh day, he told her, because she pressed him severely; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.


book: Judg

The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?”

“If you hadn’t ploughed with my heifer,
you wouldn’t have found out my riddle.”


book: Judg

The LORD’s Spirit came mightily on him, and he went down to Ashkelon and struck thirty men of them. He took their plunder, then gave the changes of clothing to those who declared the riddle. His anger burnt, and he went up to his father’s house.

book: Judg

Then the Philistines said, “Who has done this?”
They said, “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion.” The Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.


book: Judg

Samson said to them, “If you behave like this, surely I will take revenge on you, and after that I will cease.”

Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cave in Etam’s rock, and said to Samson, “Don’t you know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?”
He said to them, “As they did to me, so I have done to them.”


book: Judg

They said to him, “We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines.”
Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not attack me yourselves.”


book: Judg

They spoke to him, saying, “No, but we will bind you securely and deliver you into their hands; but surely we will not kill you.” They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.


book: Judg
contenido:
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. Then the LORD’s Spirit came mightily on him, and the ropes that were on his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire; and his bands dropped from off his hands.


book: Judg
contenido:
Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men.”


book: Judg

When he had finished speaking, he threw the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.


book: Judg

book: Judg

The lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, “Entice him, and see in which his great strength lies, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.”


book: Judg

Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me where your great strength lies, and what you might be bound to afflict you.”


book: Judg

Samson said to her, “If they bind me with seven green cords that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.”


book: Judg
contenido:
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.


book: Judg

Now she had an ambush waiting in the inner room. She said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He broke the cords as a flax thread is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.


book: Judg

Delilah said to Samson, “Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies. Now please tell me how you might be bound.”

book: Judg

book: Judg

Delilah said to Samson, “Until now, you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me with what you might be bound.”
He said to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head with the fabric on the loom.”


book: Judg

She fastened it with the pin, and said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He awakened out of his sleep, and plucked away the pin of the beam and the fabric.


book: Judg
contenido:
She said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies.”


book: Judg
contenido:
He told her all his heart and said to her, “No razor has ever come on my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will go from me and I will become weak, and be like any other man.”


book: Judg
contenido:
When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, “Come up this once, for he has told me all his heart.” Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand.


book: Judg

She made him sleep on her knees; and she called for a man and shaved off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.


book: Judg

She said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!”
He awoke out of his sleep, and said, “I will go out as at other times, and shake myself free.” But he didn’t know that the LORD had departed from him.

When the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, “Our god has delivered our enemy and the destroyer of our country, who has slain many of us, into our hand.”


book: Judg

When their hearts were merry, they said, “Call for Samson, that he may entertain us.” They called for Samson out of the prison; and he performed before them. They set him between the pillars;


book: Judg

and Samson said to the boy who held him by the hand, “Allow me to feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean on them.”


book: Judg

Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were on the roof about three thousand men and women, who saw while Samson performed.


book: Judg
contenido:
Samson called to the LORD, and said, “Lord GOD, remember me, please, and strengthen me, please, only this once, God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.”


book: Judg
contenido:
Samson took hold of the two middle pillars on which the house rested and leaned on them, the one with his right hand and the other with his left.


book: Judg

Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” He bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people who were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than those who he killed in his life.

book: Judg

He restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, then his mother said, “I most certainly dedicate the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a carved image and a molten image. Now therefore I will restore it to you.”


book: Judg

Micah said to him, “Where did you come from?”
He said to him, “I am a Levite of Bethlehem Judah, and I am looking for a place to live.”


book: Judg

Micah said to him, “Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver per year, a suit of clothing, and your food.” So the Levite went in.

They came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.


book: Judg
contenido:
When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite; so they went over there and said to him, “Who brought you here? What do you do in this place? What do you have here?”


book: Judg
contenido:
He said to them, “Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I have become his priest.”


book: Judg

They said to him, “Please ask counsel of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.”


book: Judg

Then the five men departed and came to Laish and saw the people who were there, how they lived in safety, in the way of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was no one in the land possessing authority, that might put them to shame in anything, and they were far from the Sidonians, and had no dealings with anyone else.


book: Judg
contenido:
They said, “Arise, and let’s go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. Do you stand still? Don’t be slothful to go and to enter in to possess the land.


book: Judg

When you go, you will come to an unsuspecting people, and the land is large; for God has given it into your hand, a place where there is no lack of anything that is in the earth.”

They went over there and came to the house of the young Levite man, even to the house of Micah, and asked him how he was doing.


book: Judg

The six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.


book: Judg

The five men who went to spy out the land went up, and came in there, and took the engraved image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image; and the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.


book: Judg
contenido:
When these went into Micah’s house, and took the engraved image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”


book: Judg
contenido:
They said to him, “Hold your peace, put your hand on your mouth, and go with us. Be a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?”


book: Judg
contenido:
The priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, the teraphim, and the engraved image, and went with the people.


book: Judg

He said, “You have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and have gone away! What more do I have? How can you ask me, ‘What ails you?’”


book: Judg

The children of Dan said to him, “Don’t let your voice be heard amongst us, lest angry fellows fall on you, and you lose your life, with the lives of your household.”


book: Judg

The children of Dan went their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.


book: Judg
contenido:
They took that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and unsuspecting, and struck them with the edge of the sword; then they burnt the city with fire.


book: Judg
contenido:
There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with anyone else; and it was in the valley that lies by Beth Rehob. They built the city and lived in it.


book: Judg
contenido:
They called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel; however the name of the city used to be Laish.


book: Judg

The children of Dan set up for themselves the engraved image; and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.

So they sat down, ate, and drank, both of them together. Then the young lady’s father said to the man, “Please be pleased to stay all night, and let your heart be merry.”


book: Judg
contenido:
He arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the young lady’s father said, “Please strengthen your heart and stay until the day declines;” and they both ate.


book: Judg

When the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father-in-law, the young lady’s father, said to him, “Behold, now the day draws towards evening, please stay all night. Behold, the day is ending. Stay here, that your heart may be merry; and tomorrow go on your way early, that you may go home.”


book: Judg

But the man wouldn’t stay that night, but he rose up and went near Jebus (also called Jerusalem). With him were a couple of saddled donkeys. His concubine also was with him.


book: Judg

When they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, “Please come and let’s enter into this city of the Jebusites, and stay in it.”


book: Judg

Behold, an old man came from his work out of the field at evening. Now the man was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he lived in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.


book: Judg

He lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the street of the city; and the old man said, “Where are you going? Where did you come from?”


book: Judg
contenido:
He said to him, “We are passing from Bethlehem Judah to the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim. I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem Judah. I am going to the LORD’s house; and there is no one who has taken me into his house.


book: Judg

Yet there is both straw and feed for our donkeys; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your servant, and for the young man who is with your servants. There is no lack of anything.”


book: Judg

The old man said, “Peace be to you! Just let me supply all your needs, but don’t sleep in the street.”


book: Judg

So he brought him into his house, and gave the donkeys fodder. Then they washed their feet, and ate and drank.


book: Judg

As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain wicked fellows, surrounded the house, beating at the door; and they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, “Bring out the man who came into your house, that we can have sex with him!”


book: Judg

The man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, “No, my brothers, please don’t act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house, don’t do this folly.


book: Judg

Behold, here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. I will bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them what seems good to you; but to this man don’t do any such folly.”


book: Judg

But the men wouldn’t listen to him; so the man grabbed his concubine, and brought her out to them; and they had sex with her, and abused her all night until the morning. When the day began to dawn, they let her go.


book: Judg

Then the woman came in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, until it was light.


book: Judg

Her lord rose up in the morning and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way; and behold, the woman his concubine had fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.


book: Judg

He said to her, “Get up, and let’s get going!” but no one answered. Then he took her up on the donkey; and the man rose up, and went to his place.

When he had come into his house, he took a knife and cut up his concubine, and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Israel.


book: Judg

It was so, that all who saw it said, “Such a deed has not been done or seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt to this day! Consider it, take counsel, and speak.”


book: Judg
contenido:
Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to the LORD at Mizpah.


book: Judg
contenido:
The chiefs of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen who drew sword.


book: Judg
contenido:
(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) The children of Israel said, “Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?”


book: Judg
contenido:
The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered, “I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night.


book: Judg
contenido:
The men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house by night. They intended to kill me and they raped my concubine, and she is dead.


book: Judg
contenido:
I took my concubine and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.


book: Judg
contenido:
All the people arose as one man, saying, “None of us will go to his tent, neither will any of us turn to his house.


book: Judg
contenido:
and we will take ten men of one hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of one thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand to get food for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that the men of Gibeah have done in Israel.”


book: Judg
contenido:
The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What wickedness is this that has happened amongst you?


book: Judg
contenido:
Now therefore deliver up the men, the wicked fellows who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and put away evil from Israel.”
But Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the children of Israel.


book: Judg
contenido:
The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.


book: Judg
contenido:
The children of Benjamin were counted on that day out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, in addition to the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were counted seven hundred chosen men.


book: Judg
contenido:
Amongst all these soldiers there were seven hundred chosen men who were left-handed. Every one of them could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.


book: Judg
contenido:
The men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were counted four hundred thousand men who drew sword. All these were men of war.


book: Judg
contenido:
The children of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and asked counsel of God. They asked, “Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin?”
The LORD said, “Judah first.”


book: Judg
contenido:
The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.


book: Judg
contenido:
The children of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and on that day destroyed twenty-two thousand of the Israelite men down to the ground.


book: Judg
contenido:
The people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day.


book: Judg
contenido:
The children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening; and they asked of the LORD, saying, “Shall I again draw near to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?”
The LORD said, “Go up against him.”


book: Judg
contenido:
Benjamin went out against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men. All these drew the sword.


book: Judg
contenido:
Then all the children of Israel and all the people went up, and came to Bethel, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until evening; then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.


book: Judg
contenido:
and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, “Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease?”
The LORD said, “Go up; for tomorrow I will deliver him into your hand.”


book: Judg
contenido:
The children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.


book: Judg
contenido:
The children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to strike and kill of the people as at other times, in the highways, of which one goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah, in the field, about thirty men of Israel.


book: Judg
contenido:
The children of Benjamin said, “They are struck down before us, as at the first.” But the children of Israel said, “Let’s flee, and draw them away from the city to the highways.”


book: Judg
contenido:
All the men of Israel rose up out of their place and set themselves in array at Baal Tamar. Then the ambushers of Israel broke out of their place, even out of Maareh Geba.


book: Judg
contenido:
Ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel came over against Gibeah, and the battle was severe; but they didn’t know that disaster was close to them.


book: Judg
contenido:
The LORD struck Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand and one hundred men. All these drew the sword.


book: Judg
contenido:
So the children of Benjamin saw that they were struck, for the men of Israel yielded to Benjamin because they trusted the ambushers whom they had set against Gibeah.


book: Judg
contenido:
The ambushers hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; then the ambushers spread out, and struck all the city with the edge of the sword.


book: Judg
contenido:
Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambushers was that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city.


book: Judg
contenido:
The men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, “Surely they are struck down before us, as in the first battle.”


book: Judg
contenido:
But when the cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them; and behold, the whole city went up in smoke to the sky.


book: Judg
contenido:
The men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed; for they saw that disaster had come on them.


book: Judg
contenido:
Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness, but the battle followed hard after them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the middle of it.


book: Judg
contenido:
They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them, and trod them down at their resting place, as far as near Gibeah towards the sunrise.


book: Judg
contenido:
They turned and fled towards the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon. They gleaned five thousand men of them in the highways, and followed hard after them to Gidom, and struck two thousand men of them.


book: Judg
contenido:
So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword. All these were men of valour.


book: Judg
contenido:
But six hundred men turned and fled towards the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and stayed in the rock of Rimmon four months.


book: Judg
contenido:
The men of Israel turned again on the children of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword—including the entire city, the livestock, and all that they found. Moreover they set all the cities which they found on fire.


book: Judg
contenido:
Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, “None of us will give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.”


book: Judg
contenido:
The people came to Bethel and sat there until evening before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept severely.


book: Judg
contenido:
They said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, why has this happened in Israel, that there should be one tribe lacking in Israel today?”


book: Judg
contenido:
On the next day, the people rose early and built an altar there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.


book: Judg
contenido:
The children of Israel said, “Who is there amongst all the tribes of Israel who didn’t come up in the assembly to the LORD?” For they had made a great oath concerning him who didn’t come up to the LORD to Mizpah, saying, “He shall surely be put to death.”


book: Judg
contenido:
The children of Israel grieved for Benjamin their brother, and said, “There is one tribe cut off from Israel today.


book: Judg
contenido:
How shall we provide wives for those who remain, since we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?”


book: Judg
contenido:
They said, “What one is there of the tribes of Israel who didn’t come up to the LORD to Mizpah?” Behold, no one came from Jabesh Gilead to the camp to the assembly.


book: Judg
contenido:
For when the people were counted, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead there.


book: Judg
contenido:
The congregation sent twelve thousand of the most valiant men there, and commanded them, saying, “Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the little ones.


book: Judg
contenido:
This is the thing that you shall do: you shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has lain with a man.”


book: Judg
contenido:
They found amongst the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead four hundred young virgins who had not known man by lying with him; and they brought them to the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.


book: Judg
contenido:
The whole congregation sent and spoke to the children of Benjamin who were in the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to them.


book: Judg
contenido:
Benjamin returned at that time; and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh Gilead. There still weren’t enough for them.


book: Judg
contenido:
Then the elders of the congregation said, “How shall we provide wives for those who remain, since the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?”


book: Judg
contenido:
They said, “There must be an inheritance for those who are escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe not be blotted out from Israel.


book: Judg
contenido:
However, we may not give them wives of our daughters, for the children of Israel had sworn, saying, ‘Cursed is he who gives a wife to Benjamin.’”


book: Judg
contenido:
They said, “Behold, there is a feast of the LORD from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.”


book: Judg
contenido:
and see, and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come out of the vineyards, and each man catch his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.


book: Judg
contenido:
It shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, that we will say to them, ‘Grant them graciously to us, because we didn’t take for each man his wife in battle, neither did you give them to them; otherwise you would now be guilty.’”


book: Judg
contenido:
The children of Benjamin did so, and took wives for themselves according to their number, of those who danced, whom they carried off. They went and returned to their inheritance, built the cities, and lived in them.


book: Judg
contenido:
The children of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they each went out from there to his own inheritance.


book: Ruth
contenido:
In the days when the judges judged, there was a famine in the land. A certain man of Bethlehem Judah went to live in the country of Moab with his wife and his two sons.


book: Ruth
contenido:
The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi. The names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Judah. They came into the country of Moab and lived there.


book: Ruth
contenido:
They took for themselves wives of the women of Moab. The name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other was Ruth. They lived there about ten years.


book: Ruth
contenido:
Then she arose with her daughters-in-law, that she might return from the country of Moab; for she had heard in the country of Moab how the LORD  had visited his people in giving them bread.


book: Ruth
contenido:
She went out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her. They went on the way to return to the land of Judah.


book: Ruth
contenido:
Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return each of you to her mother’s house. May the LORD deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.


book: Ruth
contenido:
May The LORD grant you that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband.”
Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices, and wept.


book: Ruth
contenido:
Naomi said, “Go back, my daughters. Why do you want to go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?


book: Ruth
contenido:
Go back, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, ‘I have hope,’ if I should even have a husband tonight, and should also bear sons,


book: Ruth
contenido:
would you then wait until they were grown? Would you then refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me seriously for your sakes, for the LORD’s hand has gone out against me.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
They lifted up their voices and wept again; then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth stayed with her.


book: Ruth
contenido:
She said, “Behold,  your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
Ruth said, “Don’t urge me to leave you, and to return from following you, for where you go, I will go; and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God  my God.


book: Ruth
contenido:
Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May The LORD do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts you and me.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
So they both went until they came to Bethlehem. When they had come to Bethlehem, all the city was excited about them, and they asked, “Is this Naomi?”


book: Ruth
contenido:
She said to them, “Don’t call me Naomi.  Call me Mara,  for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.


book: Ruth
contenido:
I went out full, and the LORD has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?”


book: Ruth
contenido:
So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab. They came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.


book: Ruth
contenido:
Naomi had a relative of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.


book: Ruth
contenido:
Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Let me now go to the field, and glean amongst the ears of grain after him in whose sight I find favour.”
She said to her, “Go, my daughter.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
She went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.


book: Ruth
contenido:
Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May The LORD be with you.”
They answered him, “May The LORD bless you.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
The servant who was set over the reapers answered, “It is the Moabite lady who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.


book: Ruth
contenido:
She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers amongst the sheaves.’ So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she rested a little in the house.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Don’t go to glean in another field, and don’t go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.


book: Ruth
contenido:
Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Haven’t I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from that which the young men have drawn.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
Then she fell on her face and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favour in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since I am a foreigner?”


book: Ruth
contenido:
Boaz answered her, “I have been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father, your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn’t know before.


book: Ruth
contenido:
May the LORD repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
Then she said, “Let me find favour in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your servant, though I am not as one of your servants.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
At meal time Boaz said to her, “Come here, and eat some bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.”
She sat beside the reapers, and they passed her parched grain. She ate, was satisfied, and left some of it.


book: Ruth
contenido:
When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even amongst the sheaves, and don’t reproach her.


book: Ruth
contenido:
So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah  of barley.


book: Ruth
contenido:
She took it up, and went into the city. Then her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she had enough.


book: Ruth
contenido:
Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.”
She told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by the LORD, who has not abandoned his kindness to the living and to the dead.” Naomi said to her, “The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’”


book: Ruth
contenido:
Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you in any other field.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
So she stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived with her mother-in-law.


book: Ruth
contenido:
Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?


book: Ruth
contenido:
Now isn’t Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he will be winnowing barley tonight on the threshing floor.


book: Ruth
contenido:
Therefore wash yourself, anoint yourself, get dressed, and go down to the threshing floor; but don’t make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.


book: Ruth
contenido:
It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall note the place where he is lying. Then you shall go in, uncover his feet, and lay down. Then he will tell you what to do.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
When Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. She came softly, uncovered his feet, and laid down.


book: Ruth
contenido:
He said, “Who are you?”
She answered, “I am Ruth your servant. Therefore spread the corner of your garment over your servant; for you are a near kinsman.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
He said, “You are blessed by the LORD, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, because you didn’t follow young men, whether poor or rich.


book: Ruth
contenido:
Now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people knows that you are a worthy woman.


book: Ruth
contenido:
Stay this night, and in the morning, if he will perform for you the part of a kinsman, good. Let him do the kinsman’s duty. But if he will not do the duty of a kinsman for you, then I will do the duty of a kinsman for you, as the LORD lives. Lie down until the morning.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
She lay at his feet until the morning, then she rose up before one could discern another. For he said, “Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
He said, “Bring the mantle that is on you, and hold it.” She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; then he went into the city.


book: Ruth
contenido:
When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, “How did it go, my daughter?”
She told her all that the man had done for her.


book: Ruth
contenido:
She said, “He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said, ‘Don’t go empty to your mother-in-law.’”


book: Ruth
contenido:
Then she said, “Wait, my daughter, until you know what will happen; for the man will not rest until he has settled this today.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. Behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by. Boaz said to him, “Come over here, friend, and sit down!” He came over, and sat down.


book: Ruth
contenido:
He said to the near kinsman, “Naomi, who has come back out of the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s.


book: Ruth
contenido:
I thought I should tell you, saying, ‘Buy it before those who sit here, and before the elders of my people.’ If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know. For there is no one to redeem it besides you; and I am after you.”
He said, “I will redeem it.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
The near kinsman said, “I can’t redeem it for myself, lest I endanger my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can’t redeem it.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man took off his sandal, and gave it to his neighbour; and this was the way of formalizing transactions in Israel.


book: Ruth
contenido:
Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, “You are witnesses today, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, from the hand of Naomi.


book: Ruth
contenido:
Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, I have purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from amongst his brothers and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses today.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which both built the house of Israel; and treat you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem.


book: Ruth
contenido:
Let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the offspring  which the LORD will give you by this young woman.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she bore a son.


book: Ruth
contenido:
The women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you today without a near kinsman. Let his name be famous in Israel.


book: Ruth
contenido:
He shall be to you a restorer of life and sustain you in your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.”


book: Ruth
contenido:
The women, her neighbours, gave him a name, saying, “A son is born to Naomi”. They named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He had two wives. The name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD  of Armies in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to the LORD, were there.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions;


book: 1Sam
contenido:
So year by year, when she went up to the LORD’s house, her rival provoked her. Therefore she wept, and didn’t eat.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? Why don’t you eat? Why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
So Hannah rose up after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of the LORD’s temple.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
She vowed a vow, and said, “The LORD of Armies, if you will indeed look at the affliction of your servant and remember me, and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a boy, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come on his head.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now Hannah spoke in her heart. Only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have not been drinking wine or strong drink, but I poured out my soul before the LORD.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Don’t consider your servant a wicked woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Eli answered, “Go in peace; and may the God  of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
She said, “Let your servant find favour in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate; and her facial expression wasn’t sad any more.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
They rose up in the morning early and worshipped the LORD, then returned and came to their house to Ramah. Then Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When the time had come, Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel,  saying, “Because I have asked him of the LORD.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
But Hannah didn’t go up, for she said to her husband, “Not until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and stay there forever.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems good to you. Wait until you have weaned him; only may the LORD establish his word.”
So the woman waited and nursed her son until she weaned him.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah  of meal, and a container of wine, and brought him to the LORD’s house in Shiloh. The child was young.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
She said, “Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the LORD.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Therefore I have also given him to the LORD. As long as he lives he is given to the LORD.” He worshipped the LORD there.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Hannah prayed, and said:
“My heart exults in the LORD!
My horn is exalted in the LORD.
My mouth is enlarged over my enemies,
because I rejoice in your salvation.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
There is no one as holy as the LORD,
for there is no one besides you,
nor is there any rock like our God.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
“Don’t keep talking so exceedingly proudly.
Don’t let arrogance come out of your mouth,
for the LORD is a God of knowledge.
By him actions are weighed.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread.
Those who were hungry are satisfied.
Yes, the barren has borne seven.
She who has many children languishes.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He raises up the poor out of the dust.
He lifts up the needy from the dunghill
to make them sit with princes
and inherit the throne of glory.
For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s.
He has set the world on them.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He will keep the feet of his holy ones,
but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness;
for no man will prevail by strength.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Those who strive with the LORD shall be broken to pieces.
He will thunder against them in the sky.
“The LORD will judge the ends of the earth.
He will give strength to his king,
and exalt the horn of his anointed.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The custom of the priests with the people was that when anyone offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant came while the meat was boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand;


book: 1Sam

The child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. The LORD’s word was rare in those days. There were not many visions, then.

Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Ebenezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.


book: 1Sam

The Philistines put themselves in array against Israel. When they joined battle, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men of the army in the field.


book: 1Sam

When the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let’s get the ark of the LORD’s covenant out of Shiloh and bring it to us, that it may come amongst us and save us out of the hand of our enemies.”


book: 1Sam

So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of Armies, who sits above the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.


book: 1Sam

When the ark of the LORD’s covenant came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth resounded.


book: 1Sam

When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, “What does the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” They understood that the LORD’s ark had come into the camp.


book: 1Sam

The Philistines were afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp.” They said, “Woe to us! For there has not been such a thing before.


book: 1Sam

Woe to us! Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods that struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.

book: 1Sam

When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching, for his heart trembled for God’s ark. When the man came into the city and told about it, all the city cried out.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, “What does the noise of this tumult mean?”
The man hurried, and came and told Eli.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The man said to Eli, “I am he who came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army.”
He said, “How did the matter go, my son?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He who brought the news answered, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter amongst the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and God’s ark has been captured.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When he made mention of God’s ark, Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck broke, and he died, for he was an old man and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
His daughter-in-law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to giving birth. When she heard the news that God’s ark was taken and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth; for her pains came on her.


book: 1Sam

book: 1Sam
contenido:
Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon’s house step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.


book: 1Sam

But the LORD’s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod, and he destroyed them and struck them with tumours, even Ashdod and its borders.


book: 1Sam

book: 1Sam

They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?”
They answered, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried over to Gath.” They carried the ark of the God of Israel there.


book: 1Sam

The Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, “What shall we do with the LORD’s ark? Show us how we should send it to its place.”


book: 1Sam

They said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, don’t send it empty; but by all means return a trespass offering to him. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then they said, “What should the trespass offering be which we shall return to him?”
They said, “Five golden tumours and five golden mice, for the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Therefore you shall make images of your tumours and images of your mice that mar the land; and you shall give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will release his hand from you, from your gods, and from your land.


book: 1Sam

They put the LORD’s ark on the cart, and the box with the golden mice and the images of their tumours.


book: 1Sam

book: 1Sam

The Levites took down the LORD’s ark and the box that was with it, in which the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone; and the men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to the LORD.


book: 1Sam

These are the golden tumours which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering to the LORD: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;


book: 1Sam

and the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fortified cities and of country villages, even to the great stone on which they set down the LORD’s ark. That stone remains to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.

book: 1Sam

They gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, “We have sinned against the LORD.” Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.


book: 1Sam

book: 1Sam

book: 1Sam

book: 1Sam

book: 1Sam

They said to him, “Behold, you are old, and your sons don’t walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.”
Samuel prayed to the LORD.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they tell you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me as the king over them.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, in that they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so they also do to you.


book: 1Sam

Now therefore listen to their voice. However you shall protest solemnly to them, and shall show them the way of the king who will reign over them.”


book: 1Sam

He said, “This will be the way of the king who shall reign over you: he will take your sons, and appoint them as his servants, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and they will run before his chariots.


book: 1Sam

He will appoint them to him for captains of thousands, and captains of fifties; and he will assign some to plough his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and the instruments of his chariots.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He will take your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, even their best, and give them to his servants.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He will take one tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give it to his officers, and to his servants.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He will take your male servants, your female servants, your best young men, and your donkeys, and assign them to his own work.


book: 1Sam

You will cry out in that day because of your king whom you will have chosen for yourselves; and the LORD will not answer you in that day.”


book: 1Sam

But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, “No; but we will have a king over us,


book: 1Sam

that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.”


book: 1Sam

The LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to their voice, and make them a king.”
Samuel said to the men of Israel, “Everyone go to your own city.”


book: 1Sam

Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valour.


book: 1Sam

He had a son, whose name was Saul, an impressive young man; and there was not amongst the children of Israel a better person than he. From his shoulders and upward he was taller than any of the people.


book: 1Sam

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.”

He passed through the hill country of Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they didn’t find them. Then they passed through the land of Shaalim, and they weren’t there. Then he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they didn’t find them.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, “Come! Let’s return, lest my father stop caring about the donkeys, and be anxious for us.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The servant said to him, “Behold now, there is a man of God in this city, and he is a man who is held in honour. All that he says surely happens. Now let’s go there. Perhaps he can tell us which way to go.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Saul said to his servant, “But, behold, if we go, what should we bring the man? For the bread is spent in our sacks, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The servant answered Saul again, and said, “Behold, I have in my hand the fourth part of a shekel  of silver. I will give that to the man of God, to tell us our way.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
(In earlier times in Israel, when a man went to enquire of God, he said, “Come! Let’s go to the seer;” for he who is now called a prophet was before called a seer.)


book: 1Sam

Then Saul said to his servant, “Well said. Come! Let’s go.” So they went to the city where the man of God was.


book: 1Sam

As they went up the ascent to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said to them, “Is the seer here?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
They answered them, and said, “He is. Behold, he is before you. Hurry now, for he has come today into the city; for the people have a sacrifice today in the high place.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
As soon as you have come into the city, you will immediately find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people will not eat until he comes, because he blesses the sacrifice. Afterwards those who are invited eat. Now therefore go up; for at this time you will find him.”


book: 1Sam

They went up to the city. As they came within the city, behold, Samuel came out towards them, to go up to the high place.


book: 1Sam

“Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man out of the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over my people Israel. He will save my people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon my people, because their cry has come to me.”


book: 1Sam

When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said to him, “Behold, the man of whom I spoke to you! He will have authority over my people.”


book: 1Sam

Samuel answered Saul, and said, “I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you are to eat with me today. In the morning I will let you go, and will tell you all that is in your heart.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
As for your donkeys who were lost three days ago, don’t set your mind on them; for they have been found. For whom is all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for you, and for all your father’s house?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul answered, “Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak to me like this?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the guest room, and made them sit in the best place amongst those who were invited, who were about thirty persons.


book: 1Sam

Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the portion which I gave you, of which I said to you, ‘Set it aside.’”


book: 1Sam

The cook took up the thigh, and that which was on it, and set it before Saul. Samuel said, “Behold, that which has been reserved! Set it before yourself and eat; because it has been kept for you for the appointed time, for I said, ‘I have invited the people.’” So Saul ate with Samuel that day.


book: 1Sam

They arose early; and about daybreak, Samuel called to Saul on the housetop, saying, “Get up, that I may send you away.” Saul arose, and they both went outside, he and Samuel, together.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
As they were going down at the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to go on ahead of us.” He went ahead, then Samuel said, “But stand still first, that I may cause you to hear God’s message.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, “Hasn’t the LORD anointed you to be prince over his inheritance?


book: 1Sam

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?”’


book: 1Sam

“Then you will go on forward from there, and you will come to the oak of Tabor. Three men will meet you there going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three young goats, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a container of wine.

“After that you will come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is; and it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a lute, a tambourine, a pipe, and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying.


book: 1Sam

Then the LORD’s Spirit will come mightily on you, and you will prophesy with them, and will be turned into another man.

book: 1Sam

When they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied amongst them.


book: 1Sam

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 amongst the prophets?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
One of the same place answered, “Who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb, “Is Saul also amongst the prophets?”


book: 1Sam

Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, “Where did you go?”
He said, “To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul said to his uncle, “He told us plainly that the donkeys were found.” But concerning the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he didn’t tell him.


book: 1Sam

and he said to the children of Israel, “The LORD, 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.’

But you have today rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, ‘No! Set a king over us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Therefore they asked of the LORD further, “Is there yet a man to come here?”
The LORD answered, “Behold, he has hidden himself amongst the baggage.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
They ran and got him there. When he stood amongst the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is no one like him amongst all the people?”
All the people shouted, and said, “Long live the king!”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
But certain worthless fellows said, “How could this man save us?” They despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh Gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Nahash the Ammonite said to them, “On this condition I will make it with you, that all your right eyes be gouged out. I will make this dishonour all Israel.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people, then all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, “What ails the people that they weep?” They told him the words of the men of Jabesh.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, “Whoever doesn’t come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” The dread of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out as one man.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He counted them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
They said to the messengers who came, “Tell the men of Jabesh Gilead, ‘Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will be rescued.’” The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Therefore the men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
On the next day, Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the middle of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day. Those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The people said to Samuel, “Who is he who said, ‘Shall Saul reign over us?’ Bring those men, that we may put them to death!”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel said to all Israel, “Behold, I have listened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now, behold, the king walks before you. I am old and grey-headed. Behold, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my youth to this day.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Here I am. Witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? Of whose hand have I taken a bribe to make me blind my eyes? I will restore it to you.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
They said, “You have not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have you taken anything from anyone’s hand.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He said to them, “The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness today, that you have not found anything in my hand.”
They said, “He is witness.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel said to the people, “It is the LORD who appointed Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now therefore stand still, that I may plead with you before the LORD concerning all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
“When Jacob had come into Egypt, and your fathers cried to the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made them to dwell in this place.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
“But they forgot the LORD their God; and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the army of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
They cried to the LORD, and said, ‘We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you.’


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The LORD sent Jerubbaal, Bedan, Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you lived in safety.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
“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 the LORD your God was your king.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now therefore see the king whom you have chosen, and whom you have asked for. Behold, the LORD has set a king over you.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
If you will fear the LORD, and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then both you and also the king who reigns over you are followers of the LORD your God.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
But if you will not listen to the LORD’s voice, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then the LORD’s hand will be against you, as it was against your fathers.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Isn’t it wheat harvest today? I will call to the LORD, that he may send thunder and rain; and you will know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the LORD’s sight, in asking for a king.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
So Samuel called to the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day. Then all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
All the people said to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to the LORD your God, that we not die; for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for a king.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. You have indeed done all this evil; yet don’t turn away from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you a people for himself.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the right way.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things he has done for you.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the Mount of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. He sent the rest of the people to their own tents.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was considered an abomination to the Philistines. The people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. They came up and encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in tombs, and in pits.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He stayed seven days, according to the time set by Samuel; but Samuel didn’t come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul said, “Bring the burnt offering to me here, and the peace offerings.” He offered the burnt offering.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
It came to pass that as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel said, “What have you done?”
Saul said, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you didn’t come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;


book: 1Sam
contenido:
therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven’t entreated the favour of the LORD.’ I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which he commanded you; for now the LORD would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
But now your kingdom will not continue. The LORD has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and the LORD has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which the LORD commanded you.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel arose, and went from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. Saul counted the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;


book: 1Sam
contenido:
another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looks down on the valley of Zeboim towards the wilderness.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears”;


book: 1Sam
contenido:
but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, each man to sharpen his own ploughshare, mattock, axe, and sickle.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now it fell on a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armour, “Come! Let’s go over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he didn’t tell his father.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people who were with him were about six hundred men;


book: 1Sam
contenido:
including Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the LORD in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t know that Jonathan was gone.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armour, “Come! Let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that the LORD will work for us; for there is no restraint on the LORD to save by many or by few.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
His armour bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Turn and, behold, I am with you according to your heart.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
If they say this to us, ‘Wait until we come to you!’ then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
But if they say this, ‘Come up to us!’ then we will go up; for the LORD has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, “Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves!”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armour bearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something!”
Jonathan said to his armour bearer, “Come up after me; for the LORD has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armour bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armour bearer killed them after him.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armour bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and amongst all the people; the garrison, and the raiders, also trembled; and the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away and scattered.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Saul said to the people who were with him, “Count now, and see who is missing from us.” When they had counted, behold, Jonathan and his armour bearer were not there.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring God’s ark here.” For God’s ark was with the children of Israel at that time.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
While Saul talked to the priest, the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand!”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle; and behold, they were all striking each other with their swords in very great confusion.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before, and who went up with them into the camp, from all around, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When the people had come to the forest, behold, honey was dripping, but no one put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
But Jonathan didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath. Therefore he put out the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes brightened.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then one of the people answered, and said, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’” So the people were faint.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have brightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
How much more, if perhaps the people had eaten freely today of the plunder of their enemies which they found? For now there has been no great slaughter amongst the Philistines.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against the LORD, in that they eat meat with the blood.”
He said, “You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me today!”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul said, “Disperse yourselves amongst the people, and tell them, ‘Every man bring me here his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don’t sin against the LORD in eating meat with the blood.’” All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul said, “Let’s go down after the Philistines by night, and take plunder amongst them until the morning light, and let’s not leave a man of them.”
They said, “Do whatever seems good to you.”
Then the priest said, “Let’s draw near here to God.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul asked counsel of God, “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he didn’t answer him that day.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul said, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people; and know and see in which this sin has been today.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
For, as the LORD lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man amongst all the people who answered him.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Therefore Saul said to the LORD, the God of Israel, “Show the right.”
Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people escaped.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done!”
Jonathan told him, and said, “I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and behold, I must die.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has worked with God today!” So the people rescued Jonathan, that he didn’t die.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He did valiantly, and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered them.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel said to Saul, “The LORD sent me to anoint you to be king over his people, over Israel. Now therefore listen to the voice of the LORD’s words.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The LORD of Armies says, ‘I remember what Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him on the way, when he came up out of Egypt.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now go and strike Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and don’t spare them; but kill both man and woman, infant and nursing baby, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul summoned the people, and counted them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul said to the Kenites, “Go, depart, go down from amongst 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 amongst the Amalekites.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, of the cattle, and of the fat calves, and the lambs, and all that was good, and were not willing to utterly destroy them; but everything that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
“It grieves me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he has turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments.” Samuel was angry; and he cried to the LORD all night.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and Samuel was told, saying, “Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set up a monument for himself, and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, “You are blessed by the LORD! I have performed the commandment of the LORD.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel said, “Then what does this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the cattle which I hear mean?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul said, “They have brought them from the Amalekites; for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the cattle, to sacrifice to the LORD your God. We have utterly destroyed the rest.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Samuel said to Saul, “Stay, and I will tell you what the LORD said to me last night.”
He said to him, “Say on.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel said, “Though you were little in your own sight, weren’t you made the head of the tribes of Israel? The LORD anointed you king over Israel;


book: 1Sam
contenido:
and the LORD sent you on a journey, and said, ‘Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.’


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Why then didn’t you obey the LORD’s voice, but took the plunder, and did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul said to Samuel, “But I have obeyed the LORD’s voice, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
But the people took of the plunder, sheep and cattle, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice to the LORD your God in Gilgal.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel said, “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the LORD’s voice? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim.  Because you have rejected the LORD’s word, he has also rejected you from being king.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and your words, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you; for you have rejected the LORD’s word, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel said to him, “The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has given it to a neighbour of yours who is better than you.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then he said, “I have sinned; yet please honour me now before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and come back with me, that I may worship the LORD your God.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Samuel said, “Bring Agag the king of the Amalekites here to me!”
Agag came to him cheerfully. Agag said, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel said, “As your sword has made women childless, so your mother will be childless amongst women!” Then Samuel cut Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The LORD 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 amongst his sons.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me.”
The LORD said, “Take a heifer with you, and say, I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do. You shall anoint to me him whom I name to you.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel did that which the LORD spoke, and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, “Do you come peaceably?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He said, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” He sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
But the LORD said to Samuel, “Don’t look on his face, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for I don’t see as man sees. For man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, “The LORD has not chosen this one, either.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. Samuel said to Jesse, “The LORD has not chosen these.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your children here?”
He said, “There remains yet the youngest. Behold, he is keeping the sheep.”
Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him, for we will not sit down until he comes here.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with a handsome face and good appearance. The LORD said, “Arise! Anoint him, for this is he.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the middle of his brothers. Then the LORD’s Spirit came mightily on David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up and went to Ramah.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Let our lord now command your servants who are in front of you to seek out a man who is a skilful player on the harp. Then when the evil spirit from God is on you, he will play with his hand, and you will be well.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then one of the young men answered, and said, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is skilful in playing, a mighty man of valour, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and the LORD is with him.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, and a container of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by David his son to Saul.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me; for he has found favour in my sight.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When the spirit from God was on Saul, David took the harp, and played with his hand; so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
A champion out of the camp of the Philistines named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span  went out.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he wore a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels  of bronze.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron.  His shield bearer went before him.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, “Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you will be our servants and serve us.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel today! Give me a man, that we may fight together!”

When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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;


book: 1Sam
contenido:
and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took and went, as Jesse had commanded him. He came to the place of the wagons, as the army which was going out to the fight shouted for the battle.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
As he talked with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came up out of the ranks of the Philistines, and said the same words; and David heard them.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. The king will give great riches to the man who kills him, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger burnt against David, and he said, “Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride, and the naughtiness of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He turned away from him towards another, and spoke like that again; and the people answered him again the same way.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David said to Saul, “Your servant was keeping his father’s sheep; and when a lion or a bear came, and took a lamb out of the flock,


book: 1Sam
contenido:
I went out after him, and struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and struck him, and killed him.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Your servant struck both the lion and the bear. This uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, since he has defied the armies of the living God.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David said, “The LORD who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.”
Saul said to David, “Go! The LORD will be with you.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul dressed David with his clothing. He put a helmet of bronze on his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David strapped his sword on his clothing, and he tried to move; for he had not tested it. David said to Saul, “I can’t go with these; for I have not tested them.” Then David took them off.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He took his staff in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag which he had. His sling was in his hand; and he came near to the Philistine.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When the Philistine looked around, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and had a good looking face.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” The Philistine cursed David by his gods.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the field.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to you in the name of the LORD of Armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Today, the LORD will deliver you into my hand. I will strike you, and take your head from off you. I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines today to the birds of the sky, and to the wild animals of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,


book: 1Sam
contenido:
and that all this assembly may know that the LORD doesn’t save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hand.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When the Philistine arose, and walked and came near to meet David, David hurried, and ran towards the army to meet the Philistine.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David put his hand in his bag, took a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then David ran, stood over the Philistine, took his sword, drew it out of its sheath, killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The men of Israel and of Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as Gai and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath and to Ekron.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
As David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, you young man?”
David answered, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his clothing, even including his sword, his bow, and his sash.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely; and Saul set him over the men of war. It was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
As they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The women sang to one another as they played, and said,
“Saul has slain his thousands,
and David his ten thousands.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, “They have creditd David with ten thousands, and they have only credited me with thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
On the next day, an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the middle of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;


book: 1Sam
contenido:
and Saul threw the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” David escaped from his presence twice.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Therefore Saul removed him from his presence, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul said to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight the LORD’s battles.” For Saul said, “Don’t let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
But at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David, “You shall today be my son-in-law a second time.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul commanded his servants, “Talk with David secretly, and say, ‘Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore be the king’s son-in-law.’”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, “Does it seem to you a light thing to be the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and little known?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul said, “Tell David, ‘The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies.’” Now Saul thought he would make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. Before the deadline,


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then the princes of the Philistines went out; and as often as they went out, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly esteemed.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, and live in a secret place, and hide yourself.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good towards you;


book: 1Sam
contenido:
for he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, “As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as before.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
There was war again. David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
An evil spirit from the LORD was on Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled, and escaped that night.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul sent messengers to David’s house, to watch him, and to kill him in the morning. Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you don’t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Michal took the teraphim,  and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head, and covered it with clothes.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?”
Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul sent messengers to seize David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, God’s Spirit came on Saul’s messengers, and they also prophesied.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?”
One said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then God’s Spirit came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also amongst the prophets?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He said to him, “Far from it; you will not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me. Why would my father hide this thing from me? It is not so.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David swore moreover, and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favour in your eyes; and he says, ‘Don’t let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved;’ but truly as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to dine with the king; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
If your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.’


book: 1Sam
contenido:
If he says, ‘It is well,’ your servant shall have peace; but if he is angry, then know that evil is determined by him.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Therefore deal kindly with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you; but if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Jonathan said, “Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then wouldn’t I tell you that?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Jonathan said to David, “By the LORD, the God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good towards David, won’t I then send to you, and disclose it to you?


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The LORD do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do you evil, if I don’t disclose it to you, and send you away, that you may go in peace. May the LORD be with you, as he has been with my father.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
but you shall also not cut off your kindness from my house forever; no, not when the LORD has cut off every one of the enemies of David from the surface of the earth.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
So Jonathan made a covenant with David’s house, saying, “The LORD will require it at the hand of David’s enemies.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When you have stayed three days, go down quickly, and come to the place where you hid yourself when this started, and remain by the stone Ezel.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Behold, I will send the boy, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ If I tell the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are on this side of you. Take them;’ then come; for there is peace to you and no danger, as the LORD lives.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
But if I say this to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are beyond you;’ then go your way; for the LORD has sent you away.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD is between you and me forever.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
So David hid himself in the field. When the new moon had come, the king sat himself down to eat food.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, but David’s place was empty.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Nevertheless Saul didn’t say anything that day, for he thought, “Something has happened to him. He is not clean. Surely he is not clean.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
On the next day after the new moon, the second day, David’s place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why doesn’t the son of Jesse come to eat, either yesterday, or today?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He said, ‘Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city. My brother has commanded me to be there. Now, if I have found favour in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers.’ Therefore he has not come to the king’s table.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Saul’s anger burnt 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?


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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!”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
In the morning, Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy with him.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He said to his boy, “Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.” As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When the boy had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the boy, and said, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Jonathan cried after the boy, “Go fast! Hurry! Don’t delay!” Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
As soon as the boy was gone, David arose out of the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. They kissed one another, and wept one with another, and David wept the most.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have both sworn in the LORD’s name, saying, ‘The LORD is between me and you, and between my offspring and your offspring, forever.’” He arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said to him, “Why are you alone, and no man with you?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has commanded me to do something, and has said to me, ‘Let no one know anything about the business about which I send you, and what I have commanded you. I have sent the young men to a certain place.’


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now therefore what is under your hand? Please give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever is available.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The priest answered David, and said, “I have no common bread, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David answered the priest, and said to him, “Truly, women have been kept from us as usual these three days. When I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was only a common journey. How much more then today shall their vessels be holy?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the show bread that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David said to Ahimelech, “Isn’t there here under your hand spear or sword? For I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The priest said, “Behold, the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you would like to take that, take it; for there is no other except that here.”
David said, “There is none like that. Give it to me.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The servants of Achish said to him, “Isn’t this David the king of the land? Didn’t they sing to one another about him in dances, saying,
‘Saul has slain his thousands,
and David his ten thousands?’”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He changed his behaviour before them, and pretended to be insane in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see the man is insane. Why then have you brought him to me?


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Should this fellow come into my house?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David therefore departed from there, and escaped to Adullam’s cave. When his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered themselves to him; and he became captain over them. There were with him about four hundred men.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come out with you, until I know what God will do for me.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The prophet Gad said to David, “Don’t stay in the stronghold. Depart, and go into the land of Judah.”
Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul heard that David was discovered, with the men who were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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,


book: 1Sam
contenido:
that 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?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered and said, “I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob; and they all came to the king.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have enquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is today?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “Who amongst all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, captain of your body guard, and honoured in your house?


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Have I today begun to enquire of God for him? Be it far from me! Don’t let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knows nothing of all this, less or more.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The king said to the guard who stood about him, “Turn, and kill the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and didn’t disclose it to me.” But the servants of the king wouldn’t put out their hand to fall on the priests of the LORD.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The king said to Doeg, “Turn and attack the priests!”
Doeg the Edomite turned, and he attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle and donkeys and sheep, with the edge of the sword.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for the death of all the persons of your father’s house.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Stay with me. Don’t be afraid, for he who seeks my life seeks your life. For you will be safe with me.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David was told, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Therefore David enquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and strike these Philistines?”
The LORD said to David, “Go strike the Philistines, and save Keilah.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David’s men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then David enquired of the LORD yet again. The LORD answered him, and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their livestock, and killed them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul was told that David had come to Keilah. Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in by entering into a town that has gates and bars.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then David said, “O LORD, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? LORD, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant.”
The LORD said, “He will come down.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?”
The LORD said, “They will deliver you up.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went wherever they could go. Saul was told that David was escaped from Keilah; and he gave up going there.

David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God didn’t deliver him into his hand.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He said to him, “Don’t be afraid; for the hand of Saul my father won’t find you; and you will be king over Israel, and I will be next to you; and Saul my father knows that also.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
They both made a covenant before the LORD. Then David stayed in the woods, and Jonathan went to his house.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now therefore, O king, come down. According to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part will be to deliver him up into the king’s hand.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Please go make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for I have been told that he is very cunning.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides himself, and come again to me with certainty, and I will go with you. It shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search him out amongst all the thousands of Judah.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard that, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David hurried to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men to take them.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come; for the Philistines have made a raid on the land!”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
So Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines. Therefore they called that place Sela Hammahlekoth.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When Saul had returned from following the Philistines, he was told, “Behold, David is in the wilderness of En Gedi.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild goats.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He came to the sheep pens by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were staying in the innermost parts of the cave.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David’s men said to him, “Behold, the day of which the LORD said to you, ‘Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.’” Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe secretly.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He said to his men, “The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the LORD’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, since he is the LORD’s anointed.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
So David checked his men with these words, and didn’t allow them to rise against Saul. Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, “My lord the king!”
When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and showed respect.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Behold, today your eyes have seen how the LORD had delivered you today into my hand in the cave. Some urged me to kill you; but I spared you; and I said, I will not stretch out my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD’s anointed.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Moreover, my father, behold, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and didn’t kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
May the LORD judge between me and you, and may the LORD avenge me of you; but my hand will not be on you.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Out of the wicked comes wickedness;’ but my hand will not be on you.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
May the LORD therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and you, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
It came to pass, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, “Is that your voice, my son David?” Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He said to David, “You are more righteous than I; for you have done good to me, whereas I have done evil to you.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
You have declared today how you have dealt well with me, because when the LORD had delivered me up into your hand, you didn’t kill me.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away unharmed? Therefore may the LORD reward you good for that which you have done to me today.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now, behold, I know that you will surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Swear now therefore to me by the LORD, that you will not cut off my offspring after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father’s house.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and mourned for him, and buried him at his house at Ramah.
Then David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
There was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats; and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail. This woman was intelligent and had a beautiful face; but the man was surly and evil in his doings. He was of the house of Caleb.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Tell him, ‘Long life to you! Peace be to you! Peace be to your house! Peace be to all that you have!


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds have now been with us, and we didn’t harm them. Nothing was missing from them all the time they were in Carmel.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favour in your eyes; for we come on a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand, to your servants, and to your son David.’”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters these days.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Shall I then take my bread, my water, and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who I don’t know where they come from?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David said to his men, “Every man put on his sword!”
Every man put on his sword. David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David, and two hundred stayed by the baggage.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to Greet our master; and he insulted them.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
But the men were very good to us, and we were not harmed, and we didn’t miss anything, as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house; for he is such a worthless fellow that one can’t speak to him.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two containers of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five seahs  of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
She said to her young men, “Go on before me. Behold, I am coming after you.” But she didn’t tell her husband, Nabal.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
As she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that behold, David and his men came down towards her, and she met them.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now David had said, “Surely in vain I have kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him. He has returned me evil for good.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got off her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
She fell at his feet, and said, “On me, my lord, on me be the blame! Please let your servant speak in your ears. Hear the words of your servant.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Please don’t let my lord pay attention to this worthless fellow, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he. Nabal  is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your servant, didn’t see my lord’s young men, whom you sent.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, since the LORD has withheld you from blood guiltiness, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the LORD’s battles. Evil will not be found in you all your days.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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 the LORD your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies, as from the hollow of a sling.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
It will come to pass, when the LORD has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you prince over Israel,


book: 1Sam
contenido:
that this shall be no grief to you, nor offence of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. When the LORD has dealt well with my lord, then remember your servant.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, who have kept me today from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
For indeed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from harming you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn’t have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
So David received from her hand that which she had brought him. Then he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. Behold, I have listened to your voice, and have granted your request.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore she told him nothing until the morning light.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
In the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed is the LORD, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil. The LORD has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head.” David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to himself as wife.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When David’s servants had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, to take you to him as wife.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
She arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, “Behold, your servant is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Abigail hurried, and arose, and rode on a donkey, with five ladies of hers who followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, by the way. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then David arose, and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army. Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were encamped around him.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then David answered and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, “Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?”
Abishai said, “I will go down with you.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay around him.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Abishai said to David, “God has delivered up your enemy into your hand today. Now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him; for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD’s anointed, and be guiltless?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David said, “As the LORD lives, the LORD will strike him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The LORD forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the LORD’s anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head, and the jar of water, and let’s go.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul’s head; and they went away: and no man saw it, or knew it, nor did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain afar off; a great space being between them;


book: 1Sam
contenido:
and David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, “Don’t you answer, Abner?”
Then Abner answered, “Who are you who cries to the king?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David said to Abner, “Aren’t you a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord, the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
This thing isn’t good that you have done. As the LORD lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD’s anointed. Now see where the king’s spear is, and the jar of water that was at his head.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul knew David’s voice, and said, “Is this your voice, my son David?”
David said, “It is my voice, my lord, O king.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that the LORD has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, they are cursed before the LORD; for they have driven me out today that I shouldn’t cling to the LORD’s inheritance, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods!’


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now therefore, don’t let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD; for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, my son David; for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes today. Behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The LORD will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; because the LORD delivered you into my hand today, and I wouldn’t stretch out my hand against the LORD’s anointed.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Behold, as your life was respected today in my eyes, so let my life be respected in the LORD’s eyes, and let him deliver me out of all oppression.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Saul said to David, “You are blessed, my son David. You will both do mightily, and will surely prevail.” So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David said in his heart, “I will now perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel. So shall I escape out of his hand.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David said to Achish, “If now I have found favour in your eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for those were the inhabitants of the land, who were of old, on the way to Shur, even to the land of Egypt.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David struck the land, and saved no man or woman alive, and took away the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned, and came to Achish.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Achish said, “Against whom have you made a raid today?”
David said, “Against the South of Judah, against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring them to Gath, saying, “Lest they should tell about us, saying, ‘David did this, and this has been his way all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.’”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Achish believed David, saying, “He has made his people Israel utterly to abhor him. Therefore he will be my servant forever.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
In those days, the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. Achish said to David, “Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the army, you and your men.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David said to Achish, “Therefore you will know what your servant can do.”
Achish said to David, “Therefore I will make you my bodyguard forever.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. Saul had sent away those who had familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman who has a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her.”
His servants said to him, “Behold, there is a woman who has a familiar spirit at Endor.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul disguised himself and put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. Then he said, “Please consult for me by the familiar spirit, and bring me up whomever I shall name to you.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The woman said to him, “Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, “As the LORD lives, no punishment will happen to you for this thing.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid! What do you see?”
The woman said to Saul, “I see a god coming up out of the earth.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
He said to her, “What does he look like?”
She said, “An old man comes up. He is covered with a robe.” Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and showed respect.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me, to bring me up?”
Saul answered, “I am very distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me, and answers me no more, by prophets, or by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I shall do.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Samuel said, “Why then do you ask me, since the LORD has departed from you and has become your adversary?


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The LORD has done to you as he spoke by me. The LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand, and given it to your neighbour, even to David.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Because you didn’t obey the LORD’s voice, and didn’t execute his fierce wrath on Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you today.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Moreover the LORD will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will deliver the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The woman came to Saul, and saw that he was very troubled, and said to him, “Behold, your servant has listened to your voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have listened to your words which you spoke to me.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
But he refused, and said, “I will not eat.” But his servants, together with the woman, constrained him; and he listened to their voice. So he arose from the earth and sat on the bed.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The woman had a fattened calf in the house. She hurried and killed it; and she took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread of it.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
She brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate. Then they rose up, and went away that night.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek; and the Israelites encamped by the spring which is in Jezreel.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
The lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rear with Achish.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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?


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Isn’t this David, of whom people sang to one another in dances, saying,
‘Saul has slain his thousands,
and David his ten thousands?’”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then Achish called David, and said to him, “As the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, the lords don’t favour you.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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?”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Achish answered David, “I know that you are good in my sight, as an angel of God. Notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Therefore now rise up early in the morning with the servants of your lord who have come with you; and as soon as you are up early in the morning, and have light, depart.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
So David rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines, and the Philistines went up to Jezreel.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
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 burnt it with fire,


book: 1Sam
contenido:
and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They didn’t kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters were taken captive.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept until they had no more power to weep.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring the ephod here to me.”
Abiathar brought the ephod to David.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David enquired of the LORD, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?”
He answered him, “Pursue; for you will surely overtake them, and will without fail recover all.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn’t go over the brook Besor.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
They gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, and drank no water for three days and three nights.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David asked him, “To whom do you belong? Where are you from?”
He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I got sick.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
We made a raid on the South of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the South of Caleb; and we burnt Ziklag with fire.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this troop?”
He said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me and not deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop.”


book: 1Sam
contenido:
When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great plunder that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither plunder, nor anything that they had taken to them. David brought back all.


book: 1Sam
contenido:
David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, “This is David’s plunder.”

David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to stay at the brook Besor; and they went out to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. When David came near to the people, he greeted them.


book: 1Sam

Then all the wicked men and worthless fellows, of those who went with David, answered and said, “Because they didn’t go with us, we will not give them anything of the plunder that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away, and depart.”


book: 1Sam

Then David said, “Do not do so, my brothers, with that which the LORD has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.


book: 1Sam

book: 1Sam

book: 1Sam

When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.

They put his armour in the house of the Ashtaroth, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.


book: 1Sam

all the valiant men arose, went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan; and they came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.


book: 2Sam

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


book: 2Sam

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.


book: 2Sam

David said to him, “Where do you come from?”
He said to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
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.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed close behind him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me; for anguish has taken hold of me, because my life lingers in me.’


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So I stood beside him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.”


book: 2Sam

They mourned, wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD,  and for the house of Israel; because they had fallen by the sword.


book: 2Sam

David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?”
He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”


book: 2Sam

David called one of the young men, and said, “Go near, and cut him down!” He struck him so that he died.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David said to him, “Your blood be on your head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have slain the LORD’s anointed.’”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
(and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Don’t tell it in Gath.
Don’t publish it in the streets of Ashkelon,
lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
You mountains of Gilboa,
let there be no dew or rain on you, and no fields of offerings;
For there the shield of the mighty was defiled and cast away,
The shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
From the blood of the slain,
from the fat of the mighty,
Jonathan’s bow didn’t turn back.
Saul’s sword didn’t return empty.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives.
In their death, they were not divided.
They were swifter than eagles.
They were stronger than lions.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,
who clothed you delicately in scarlet,
who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan.
You have been very pleasant to me.
Your love to me was wonderful,
passing the love of women.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
After this, David enquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?”
The LORD said to him, “Go up.”
David said, “Where shall I go up?”
He said, “To Hebron.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So David went up there with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David brought up his men who were with him, every man with his household. They lived in the cities of Hebron.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. They told David, “The men of Jabesh Gilead were those who buried Saul.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, “Blessed are you by the LORD, that you have shown this kindness to your lord, even to Saul, and have buried him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now may the LORD show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
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.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s army, had taken Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;


book: 2Sam
contenido:
and he made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
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.


book: 2Sam

Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Joab the son of Zeruiah and David’s servants went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Abner said to Joab, “Please let the young men arise and play before us!”
Joab said, “Let them arise!”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of David’s servants.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
They each caught his opponent by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: therefore that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The battle was very severe that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before David’s servants.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild gazelle.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Asahel pursued Abner; and in going he didn’t turn to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Abner said to him, “Turn away to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armour.” But Asahel would not turn away from following him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Abner said again to Asahel, “Turn away from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I look Joab your brother in the face?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
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.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner. The sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
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?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Joab said, “As God  lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone away, and not each followed his brother.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stood still, and pursued Israel no more, and they fought no more.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and came to Mahanaim.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Joab returned from following Abner; and when he had gathered all the people together, nineteen men of David’s and Asahel were missing.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
But David’s servants had struck Benjamin and of Abner’s men so that three hundred and sixty men died.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
They took up Asahel, and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now there was long war between Saul’s house and David’s house. David grew stronger and stronger, but Saul’s house grew weaker and weaker.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;


book: 2Sam
contenido:
While there was war between Saul’s house and David’s house, Abner made himself strong in Saul’s house.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah; and Ishbosheth said to Abner, “Why have you gone in to my father’s concubine?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then Abner was very angry about Ishbosheth’s words, and said, “Am I a dog’s head that belongs to Judah? Today I show kindness to Saul’s house your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David; and yet you charge me today with a fault concerning this woman!


book: 2Sam
contenido:
to transfer the kingdom from Saul’s house, and to set up David’s throne over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, “Whose is the land?” and saying, “Make your alliance with me, and behold, my hand will be with you, to bring all Israel around to you.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
He said, “Good. I will make a treaty with you, but one thing I require of you. That is, you will not see my face unless you first bring Michal, Saul’s daughter, when you come to see my face.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, saying, “Deliver me my wife Michal, whom I was given to marry for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Her husband went with her, weeping as he went, and followed her to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go! Return!” and he returned.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, “In times past, you sought for David to be king over you.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now then do it; for the LORD has spoken of David, saying, ‘By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.’”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to the whole house of Benjamin.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. David made Abner and the men who were with him a feast.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Abner said to David, “I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your soul desires.” David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Behold, David’s servants and Joab came from a raid, and brought in a great plunder with them; but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When Joab and all the army who was with him had come, they told Joab, “Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away, and he has gone in peace.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then Joab came to the king, and said, “What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you. Why is it that you have sent him away, and he is already gone?


book: 2Sam
contenido:
You know Abner the son of Ner. He came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you do.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When Joab had come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David didn’t know it.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the middle of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the body, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Afterward, when David heard it, he said, “I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Let it fall on the head of Joab, and on all his father’s house. Let there not fail from the house of Joab one who has a discharge, or who is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your clothes, and clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn in front of Abner.” King David followed the bier.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
They buried Abner in Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at Abner’s grave; and all the people wept.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Your hands weren’t bound, and your feet weren’t put into fetters. As a man falls before the children of iniquity, so you fell.”
All the people wept again over him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
All the people came to urge David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, “God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or anything else, until the sun goes down.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
All the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; as whatever the king did pleased all the people.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to kill Abner the son of Ner.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king said to his servants, “Don’t you know that a prince and a great man has fallen today in Israel?


book: 2Sam
contenido:
I am weak today, though anointed king. These men, the sons of Zeruiah are too hard for me. May the LORD reward the evildoer according to his wickedness.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Saul’s son had two men who were captains of raiding bands. The name of one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin (for Beeroth also is considered a part of Benjamin:


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news came about Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel; and his nurse picked him up and fled. As she hurried to flee, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went and came at about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, as he took his rest at noon.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
They came there into the middle of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they struck him in the body: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now when they came into the house, as he lay on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him, killed him, beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
They brought the head of Ishbosheth to David to Hebron, and said to the king, “Behold, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life! The LORD has avenged my lord the king today of Saul, and of his offspring. ”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, “As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,


book: 2Sam
contenido:
when someone told me, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ thinking that he brought good news, I seized him and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, should I not now require his blood from your hand, and rid the earth of you?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David commanded his young men, and they killed them, cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in Abner’s grave in Hebron.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and spoke, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led Israel out and in. The LORD said to you, ‘You will be shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be prince over Israel.’”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “The blind and the lame will keep you out of here;” thinking, “David can’t come in here.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David said on that day, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him go up to the watercourse and strike those lame and blind, who are hated by David’s soul.” Therefore they say, “The blind and the lame can’t come into the house.”


book: 2Sam

David lived in the stronghold, and called it David’s city. David built around from Millo and inward.


book: 2Sam

Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, with cedar trees, carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.


book: 2Sam

David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.


book: 2Sam

David took more concubines and wives for himself out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and more sons and daughters were born to David.


book: 2Sam

When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.


book: 2Sam

David enquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?”
The LORD said to David, “Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand.”


book: 2Sam

David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there. Then he said, “The LORD has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When David enquired of the LORD, he said, “You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them in front of the mulberry trees.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then stir yourself up; for then the LORD has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David arose, and went with all the people who were with him, from Baale Judah, to bring up from there God’s ark, which is called by the Name, even the name of the LORD of Armies who sits above the cherubim.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
They set God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house that was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
They brought it out of Abinadab’s house, which was in the hill, with God’s ark; and Ahio went before the ark.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD with all kinds of instruments made of cypress wood, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with castanets, and with cymbals.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached for God’s ark, and took hold of it; for the cattle stumbled.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The LORD’s anger burnt against Uzzah; and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by God’s ark.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David was displeased, because the LORD had broken out against Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah,  to this day.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So David would not move the LORD’s ark to be with him in David’s city; but David carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The LORD’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and the LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
King David was told, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that belongs to him, because of God’s ark.”
So David went and brought up God’s ark from the house of Obed-Edom into David’s city with joy.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So David and all the house of Israel brought up the LORD’s ark with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
As the LORD’s ark came into David’s city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out through the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
They brought in the LORD’s ark, and set it in its place, in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Armies.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
He gave to all the people, even amongst the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, dates, and raisins. So all the people departed, each to his own house.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then David returned to bless his household. Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David said to Michal, “It was before the LORD, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of the LORD, over Israel. Therefore I will celebrate before the LORD.


book: 2Sam

I will be yet more vile than this, and will be worthless in my own sight. But the maids of whom you have spoken will honour me.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but God’s ark dwells within curtains.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
For I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought the children of Israel up out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a tabernacle.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
In all places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel, did I say a word to any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now therefore tell my servant David this, ‘The LORD of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people, over Israel.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more. The children of wickedness will not afflict them any more, as at the first,


book: 2Sam
contenido:
and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover the LORD tells you that the LORD will make you a house.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When your days are fulfilled, and you sleep with your fathers, I will set up your offspring after you, who will proceed out of your body, and I will establish his kingdom.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;


book: 2Sam
contenido:
but my loving kindness will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Your house and your kingdom will be made sure forever before you. Your throne will be established forever.”’”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then David the king went in, and sat before the LORD; and he said, “Who am I, Lord  GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?


book: 2Sam
contenido:
This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord GOD; but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this amongst men, Lord GOD!


book: 2Sam
contenido:
For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Therefore you are great, LORD God. For there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

He said, “I am your servant.”


book: 2Sam

book: 2Sam

David said to him, “Don’t be afraid; for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your father. You will eat bread at my table continually.”


book: 2Sam

Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said to him, “All that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your master’s son.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Till the land for him, you, your sons, and your servants. Bring in the harvest, that your master’s son may have bread to eat; but Mephibosheth your master’s son will always eat bread at my table.”

book: 2Sam

David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David honours your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn’t David sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When they told David this, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”


book: 2Sam

When the children of Ammon saw that they had become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth Rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate. The Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and may the LORD do what seems good to him.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.


book: 2Sam

When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.

David was told that; and he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred charioteers of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and struck Shobach the captain of their army, so that he died there.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.


book: 2Sam

At evening, David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house. From the roof, he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to look at.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David sent and enquired after the woman. One said, “Isn’t this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, Uriah the Hittite’s wife?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her (for she was purified from her uncleanness); and she returned to her house.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When Uriah had come to him, David asked him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” Uriah departed out of the king’s house, and a gift from the king was sent after him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and didn’t go down to his house.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When they had told David, saying, “Uriah didn’t go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Haven’t you come from a journey? Why didn’t you go down to your house?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Uriah said to David, “The ark, Israel, and Judah, are staying in tents; and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open field. Shall I then go into my house to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing!”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David said to Uriah, “Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day, and the next day.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When David had called him, he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk. At evening, he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but didn’t go down to his house.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
He wrote in the letter, saying, “Send Uriah to the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck, and die.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When Joab kept watch on the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The men of the city went out, and fought with Joab. Some of the people fell, even of David’s servants; and Uriah the Hittite died also.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
and he commanded the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,


book: 2Sam
contenido:
it shall be that, if the king’s wrath arise, and he asks you, ‘Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Didn’t you know that they would shoot from the wall?


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Didn’t a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?’ then you shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.’”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The messenger said to David, “The men prevailed against us, and came out to us into the field, and we were on them even to the entrance of the gate.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The shooters shot at your servants from off the wall; and some of the king’s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then David said to the messenger, “Tell Joab, ‘Don’t let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make your battle stronger against the city, and overthrow it.’ Encourage him.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The LORD sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, “There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
but the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and raised. It grew up together with him, and with his children. It ate of his own food, drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was like a daughter to him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
A traveller came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to prepare for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but took the poor man’s lamb, and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David’s anger burnt hot against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves to die!


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Nathan said to David, “You are the man. This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
I gave you your master’s house, and your master’s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more such things.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Why have you despised the LORD’s word, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken Uriah the Hittite’s wife to be your wife.’


book: 2Sam
contenido:
“This is what the LORD says: ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbour, and he will lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.”
Nathan said to David, “The LORD also has put away your sin. You will not die.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the LORD’s enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you will surely die.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Nathan departed to his house.
The LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and it was very sick.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the ground.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The elders of his house arose beside him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, and he didn’t eat bread with them.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
On the seventh day, the child died. David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he didn’t listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?”
They said, “He is dead.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the LORD’s house, and worshipped. Then he came to his own house; and when he requested, they set bread before him, and he ate.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then his servants said to him, “What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child was dead, you rose up and ate bread.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
He said, “While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who knows whether the LORD will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?’


book: 2Sam
contenido:
But now he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. She bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. The LORD loved him;


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Joab sent messengers to David, and said, “I have fought against Rabbah. Yes, I have taken the city of waters.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called by my name.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent  of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David’s head. He brought a great quantity of plunder out of the city.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
He brought out the people who were in it, and put them under saws, under iron picks, under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick kiln; and he did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
After this, Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Amnon was so troubled that he became sick because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
He said to him, “Why, son of the king, are you so sad from day to day? Won’t you tell me?”
Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Jonadab said to him, “Lay down on your bed, and pretend to be sick. When your father comes to see you, tell him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.’”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So Amnon lay down and faked being sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was lying down. She took dough, and kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
She took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. Amnon said, “Have all men leave me.” Then every man went out from him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the room, that I may eat from your hand.” Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the room to Amnon her brother.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister!”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
She answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me! For no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Don’t you do this folly.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
As for me, where would I carry my shame? And as for you, you will be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
However he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then Amnon hated her with exceedingly great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. Amnon said to her, “Arise, be gone!”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
She said to him, “Not so, because this great wrong in sending me away is worse than the other that you did to me!”
But he would not listen to her.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then he called his servant who ministered to him, and said, “Now put this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
She had a garment of various colours on her; for the king’s daughters who were virgins dressed in such robes. Then his servant brought her out and bolted the door after her.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of various colours that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head, and went her way, crying aloud as she went.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother. Don’t take this thing to heart.”
So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
After two full years, Absalom had sheep shearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Absalom came to the king, and said, “See now, your servant has sheep shearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king said to Absalom, “No, my son, let’s not all go, lest we be burdensome to you.” He pressed him; however he would not go, but blessed him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.”
The king said to him, “Why should he go with you?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Absalom commanded his servants, saying, “Mark now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine; and when I tell you, ‘Strike Amnon,’ then kill him. Don’t be afraid. Haven’t I commanded you? Be courageous, and be valiant!”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man got up on his mule, and fled.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
While they were on the way, the news came to David, saying, “Absalom has slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left!”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered, “Don’t let my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men the king’s sons; for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now therefore don’t let my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king’s sons are dead; for only Amnon is dead.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
But Absalom fled. The young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, many people were coming by way of the hillside behind him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
As soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept. The king also and all his servants wept bitterly.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. David mourned for his son every day.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Joab sent to Tekoa, and brought a wise woman from there, and said to her, “Please act like a mourner, and put on mourning clothing, please, and don’t anoint yourself with oil, but be as a woman who has mourned a long time for the dead.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, showed respect, and said, “Help, O king!”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Your servant had two sons, and they both fought together in the field, and there was no one to part them, but the one struck the other, and killed him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Behold, the whole family has risen against your servant, and they say, ‘Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he killed, and so destroy the heir also.’ Thus they would quench my coal which is left, and would leave to my husband neither name nor remainder on the surface of the earth.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The woman of Tekoa said to the king, “My lord, O king, may the iniquity be on me, and on my father’s house; and may the king and his throne be guiltless.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king said, “Whoever says anything to you, bring him to me, and he will not bother you any more.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then she said, “Please let the king remember the LORD your God, that the avenger of blood destroy not any more, lest they destroy my son.”
He said, “As the LORD lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the earth.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The woman said, “Why then have you devised such a thing against the people of God? For in speaking this word the king is as one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring home again his banished one.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
For we must die, and are like water spilled on the ground, which can’t be gathered up again; neither does God take away life, but devises means, that he who is banished not be an outcast from him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now therefore seeing that I have come to speak this word to my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid. Your servant said, ‘I will now speak to the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant.’


book: 2Sam
contenido:
For the king will hear, to deliver his servant out of the hand of the man who would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then your servant said, ‘Please let the word of my lord the king bring rest; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad. May the LORD, your God, be with you.’”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then the king answered the woman, “Please don’t hide anything from me that I ask you.”
The woman said, “Let my lord the king now speak.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king said, “Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?”
The woman answered, “As your soul lives, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right hand or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken; for your servant Joab urged me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your servant.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Your servant Joab has done this thing to change the face of the matter. My lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king said to Joab, “Behold now, I have done this thing. Go therefore, and bring the young man Absalom back.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Joab fell to the ground on his face, showed respect, and blessed the king. Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favour in your sight, my lord, king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king said, “Let him return to his own house, but let him not see my face.” So Absalom returned to his own house, and didn’t see the king’s face.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now in all Israel there was no one to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty. From the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no defect in him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When he cut the hair of his head (now it was at every year’s end that he cut it; because it was heavy on him, therefore he cut it); he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels,  after the king’s weight.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Three sons were born to Absalom, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar. She was a woman with a beautiful face.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but he would not come to him. Then he sent again a second time, but he would not come.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Therefore he said to his servants, “Behold, Joab’s field is near mine, and he has barley there. Go and set it on fire.” So Absalom’s servants set the field on fire.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom to his house, and said to him, “Why have your servants set my field on fire?”

Absalom answered Joab, “Behold, I sent to you, saying, ‘Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say, “Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still. Now therefore let me see the king’s face, and if there is iniquity in me, let him kill me.”’”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So Joab came to the king, and told him; and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Absalom.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. When any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgement, then Absalom called to him, and said, “What city are you from?”
He said, “Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Absalom said moreover, “Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
It was so, that when any man came near to bow down to him, he stretched out his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgement. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
At the end of forty years, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If the LORD shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.’”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they didn’t know anything.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise! Let’s flee; or else none of us will escape from Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king went out, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
All his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner, and also an exile. Return to your own place.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Whereas you came but yesterday, should I today make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Ittai answered the king, and said, “As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king is, whether for death or for life, your servant will be there also.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
All the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over. The king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, towards the way of the wilderness.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down God’s ark; and Abiathar went up, until all the people finished passing out of the city.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king said to Zadok, “Carry God’s ark back into the city. If I find favour in the LORD’s eyes, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation;


book: 2Sam
contenido:
but if he says, ‘I have no delight in you;’ behold, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king said also to Zadok the priest, “Aren’t you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered, and went barefoot. All the people who were with him each covered his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is amongst the conspirators with Absalom.”
David said, “LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When David had come to the top, where God was worshipped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his tunic torn, and earth on his head.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so I will now be your servant; then will you defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Don’t you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore whatever you hear out of the king’s house, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son. Send to me everything that you shall hear by them.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When David was a little past the top, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him with a couple of donkeys saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, and one hundred clusters of raisins, and one hundred summer fruits, and a container of wine.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king said to Ziba, “What do you mean by these?”
Ziba said, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that those who are faint in the wilderness may drink.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king said, “Where is your master’s son?”
Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem; for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore me the kingdom of my father.’”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then the king said to Ziba, “Behold, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours.”
Ziba said, “I bow down. Let me find favour in your sight, my lord, O king.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When king David came to Bahurim, behold, a man of the family of Saul’s house came out, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera. He came out and cursed as he came.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
He cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David, and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The LORD has returned on you all the blood of Saul’s house, in whose place you have reigned! The LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son! Behold, you are caught by your own mischief, because you are a man of blood!”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over and take off his head.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because the LORD has said to him, ‘Curse David;’ who then shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, “Behold, my son, who came out of my bowels, seeks my life. How much more this Benjamite, now? Leave him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD has invited him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
It may be that the LORD will look on the wrong done to me, and that the LORD will repay me good for the cursing of me today.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him, and cursed as he went, threw stones at him, and threw dust.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had come to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Hushai said to Absalom, “No; but whomever the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, I will be his, and I will stay with him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Again, whom should I serve? Shouldn’t I serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father’s presence, so I will be in your presence.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s concubines that he has left to keep the house. Then all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man enquired at the inner sanctuary of God. All the counsel of Ahithophel both was like this with David and with Absalom.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me now choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David tonight.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
I will come on him while he is weary and exhausted, and will make him afraid. All the people who are with him will flee. I will strike the king only,


book: 2Sam
contenido:
and I will bring back all the people to you. The man whom you seek is as if all returned. All the people shall be in peace.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying, “Ahithophel has spoken like this. Shall we do what he says? If not, speak up.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Hushai said moreover, “You know your father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are fierce in their minds, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. Your father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Behold, he is now hidden in some pit, or in some other place. It will happen, when some of them have fallen at the first, that whoever hears it will say, ‘There is a slaughter amongst the people who follow Absalom!’


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Even he who is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, will utterly melt; for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and those who are with him are valiant men.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
But I counsel that all Israel be gathered together to you, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that you go to battle in your own person.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So we will come on him in some place where he will be found, and we will light on him as the dew falls on the ground, then we will not leave so much as one of him and of all the men who are with him.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Moreover, if he has gone into a city, then all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there isn’t one small stone found there.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” For the LORD had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil on Absalom.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Ahithophel counselled Absalom and the elders of Israel that way; and I have counselled this way.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, ‘Don’t lodge tonight at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people who are with him.’”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying by En Rogel; and a female servant used to go and tell them; and they went and told king David. For they might not be seen to come into the city.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
But a boy saw them, and told Absalom. Then they both went away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down there.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The woman took and spread the covering over the well’s mouth, and spread out crushed grain on it; and nothing was known.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Absalom’s servants came to the woman to the house; and they said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?”
The woman said to them, “They have gone over the brook of water.”
When they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
After they had departed, they came up out of the well, and went and told king David; and they said to David, “Arise and pass quickly over the water; for thus has Ahithophel counselled against you.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then David arose, and all the people who were with him, and they passed over the Jordan. By the morning light there lacked not one of them who had not gone over the Jordan.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey, arose, and went home, to his city, and set his house in order, and hanged himself; and he died, and was buried in the tomb of his father.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Absalom set Amasa over the army instead of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Ithra the Israelite, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab’s mother.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,


book: 2Sam
contenido:
brought beds, basins, earthen vessels, wheat, barley, meal, parched grain, beans, lentils, roasted grain,


book: 2Sam
contenido:
honey, butter, sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David, and for the people who were with him, to eat; for they said, “The people are hungry, weary, and thirsty in the wilderness.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David counted the people who were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David sent the people out, a third part under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. The king said to the people, “I will also surely go out with you myself.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
But the people said, “You shall not go out; for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us. But you are worth ten thousand of us. Therefore now it is better that you are ready to help us out of the city.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king said to them, “I will do what seems best to you.”
The king stood beside the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, “Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom.” All the people heard when the king commanded all the captains concerning Absalom.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The people of Israel were struck there before David’s servants, and there was a great slaughter there that day of twenty thousand men.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
For the battle was there spread over the surface of all the country, and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Absalom happened to meet David’s servants. Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the sky and earth; and the mule that was under him went on.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Joab said to the man who told him, “Behold, you saw it, and why didn’t you strike him there to the ground? I would have given you ten pieces of silver, and a sash.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The man said to Joab, “Though I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, I still wouldn’t stretch out my hand against the king’s son; for in our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, ‘Beware that no one touch the young man Absalom.’


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Otherwise if I had dealt falsely against his life (and there is no matter hidden from the king), then you yourself would have set yourself against me.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then Joab said, “I’m not going to wait like this with you.” He took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the middle of the oak.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel; for Joab held the people back.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
They took Absalom and cast him into a great pit in the forest, and raised over him a very great heap of stones. Then all Israel fled, each to his own tent.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself the pillar which is in the king’s valley, for he said, “I have no son to keep my name in memory.” He called the pillar after his own name. It is called Absalom’s monument, to this day.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, “Let me now run and carry the king news, how the LORD has avenged him of his enemies.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Joab said to him, “You must not be the bearer of news today, but you must carry news another day. But today you must carry no news, because the king’s son is dead.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then Joab said to the Cushite, “Go, tell the king what you have seen!” The Cushite bowed himself to Joab, and ran.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said yet again to Joab, “But come what may, please let me also run after the Cushite.”
Joab said, “Why do you want to run, my son, since you will have no reward for the news?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
“But come what may,” he said, “I will run.”
He said to him, “Run!” Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the Plain, and outran the Cushite.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now David was sitting between the two gates; and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate to the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, a man running alone.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The watchman cried, and told the king. The king said, “If he is alone, there is news in his mouth.” He came closer and closer.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The watchman saw another man running; and the watchman called to the gatekeeper, and said, “Behold, a man running alone!”
The king said, “He also brings news.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The watchman said, “I think the running of the first one is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok.”
The king said, “He is a good man, and comes with good news.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Ahimaaz called, and said to the king, “All is well.” He bowed himself before the king with his face to the earth, and said, “Blessed is the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who lifted up their hand against my lord the king!”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king said, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?”
Ahimaaz answered, “When Joab sent the king’s servant, even me your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I don’t know what it was.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Behold, the Cushite came. The Cushite said, “News for my lord the king, for the LORD has avenged you today of all those who rose up against you.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king said to the Cushite, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?”
The Cushite answered, “May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up against you to do you harm, be as that young man is.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king was much moved, and went up to the room over the gate, and wept. As he went, he said, “My son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! I wish I had died for you, Absalom, my son, my son!”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The victory that day was turned into mourning amongst all the people; for the people heard it said that day, “The king grieves for his son.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The people sneaked into the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Joab came into the house to the king, and said, “Today you have shamed the faces of all your servants, who today have saved your life, and the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines;


book: 2Sam
contenido:
in that you love those who hate you, and hate those who love you. For you have declared today that princes and servants are nothing to you. For today I perceive that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died today, then it would have pleased you well.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now therefore arise, go out, and speak to comfort your servants; for I swear by the LORD, if you don’t go out, not a man will stay with you this night. That would be worse to you than all the evil that has happened to you from your youth until now.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. They told to all the people, saying, “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate.” All the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his tent.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
All the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why don’t you speak a word of bringing the king back?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, ‘Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house? Since the speech of all Israel has come to the king, to return him to his house.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
You are my brothers. You are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?’


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Say to Amasa, ‘Aren’t you my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if you aren’t captain of the army before me continually instead of Joab.’”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
He bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as one man; so that they sent to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your servants.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So the king returned, and came to the Jordan. Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
There were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of Saul’s house, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went through the Jordan in the presence of the king.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
A ferry boat went to bring over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, when he had come over the Jordan.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
He said to the king, “Don’t let my lord impute iniquity to me, or remember that which your servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
For your servant knows that I have sinned. Therefore behold, I have come today as the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD’s anointed?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be adversaries to me today? Shall any man be put to death today in Israel? For don’t I know that I am king over Israel today?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither groomed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
When he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, the king said to him, “Why didn’t you go with me, Mephibosheth?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
He answered, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, ‘I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go with the king,’ because your servant is lame.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
He has slandered your servant to my lord the king, but my lord the king is as an angel of God. Therefore do what is good in your eyes.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king; yet you set your servant amongst those who ate at your own table. What right therefore have I yet that I should cry any more to the king?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king said to him, “Why do you speak any more of your matters? I say, you and Ziba divide the land.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Mephibosheth said to the king, “Yes, let him take all, because my lord the king has come in peace to his own house.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went over the Jordan with the king, to conduct him over the Jordan.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even eighty years old. He had provided the king with sustenance while he stayed at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Barzillai said to the king, “How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?


book: 2Sam
contenido:
I am eighty years old, today. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear the voice of singing men and singing women any more? Why then should your servant be a burden to my lord the king?


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Your servant would but just go over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king repay me with such a reward?


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold, your servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to you.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king answered, “Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to you. Whatever you request of me, that I will do for you.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
All the people went over the Jordan, and the king went over. Then the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him. All the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, “Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king, and his household, over the Jordan, and all David’s men with him?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, “Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king’s cost? Or has he given us any gift?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, “We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more claim to David than you. Why then did you despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king?” The words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
There happened to be there a wicked fellow, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet, and said, “We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel!”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah joined with their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.

Joab said to Amasa, “Is it well with you, my brother?” Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.


book: 2Sam

But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand. So he struck him with it in the body, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and didn’t strike him again; and he died. Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.

One of Joab’s young men stood by him, and said, “He who favours Joab, and he who is for David, let him follow Joab!”

Then a wise woman cried out of the city, “Hear, hear! Please say to Joab, ‘Come near here, that I may speak with you.’”


book: 2Sam

He came near to her; and the woman said, “Are you Joab?”
He answered, “I am.”
Then she said to him, “Hear the words of your servant.”
He answered, “I’m listening.”


book: 2Sam

Then she spoke, saying, “They used to say in old times, ‘They shall surely ask counsel at Abel;’ and so they settled a matter.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
I am amongst those who are peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why will you swallow up the LORD’s inheritance?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The matter is not so. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David. Just deliver him, and I will depart from the city.”
The woman said to Joab, “Behold, his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”


book: 2Sam

The king called the Gibeonites, and said to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the children of Israel had sworn to them; and Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah);

and David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? And with what should I make atonement, that you may bless the LORD’s inheritance?”


book: 2Sam

My saviour, you save me from violence.

In my distress, I called on the LORD.
Yes, I called to my God.

The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken,

According to my cleanness in his eyesight.

book: 2Sam

I have consumed them,
and struck them through,
so that they can’t arise.
Yes, they have fallen under my feet.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
For you have armed me with strength for the battle.
You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.


book: 2Sam

Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth.
I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.


book: 2Sam

You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people.
You have kept me to be the head of the nations.
A people whom I have not known will serve me.

Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me.
You deliver me from the violent man.

The God of Israel said,
the Rock of Israel spoke to me,
‘One who rules over men righteously,
who rules in the fear of God,


book: 2Sam

shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises,
a morning without clouds,
when the tender grass springs out of the earth,
through clear shining after rain.’


book: 2Sam

Isn’t my house so with God?
Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant,
ordered in all things, and sure,
for it is all my salvation, and all my desire,
although he doesn’t make it grow.


book: 2Sam

But the man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear.
They will be utterly burnt with fire in their place.”


book: 2Sam

book: 2Sam

After him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines who were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel had gone away.

He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and the LORD worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take plunder.


book: 2Sam

After him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop, where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.

book: 2Sam
contenido:
The three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David; but he would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
He said, “Be it far from me, LORD, that I should do this! Isn’t this the blood of the men who risked their lives to go?” Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.


book: 2Sam

Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. He lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name amongst the three.


book: 2Sam

Wasn’t he most honourable of the three? Therefore he was made their captain. However he wasn’t included as one of the three.


book: 2Sam

book: 2Sam

The king said to Joab the captain of the army, who was with him, “Now go back and forth through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and count the people, that I may know the sum of the people.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Joab said to the king, “Now may the LORD your God add to the people, however many they may be, one hundred times; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king delight in this thing?”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Notwithstanding, the king’s word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the army. Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
They passed over the Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and to Jazer;


book: 2Sam

book: 2Sam

book: 2Sam

So when they had gone back and forth through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Joab gave up the sum of the counting of the people to the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David’s heart struck him after he had counted the people. David said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in that which I have done. But now, the LORD, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
“Go and speak to David, ‘The LORD says, “I offer you three things. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.”’”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
So Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, “Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ pestilence in your land? Now answer, and consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let us fall now into the LORD’s hand; for his mercies are great. Let me not fall into man’s hand.”


book: 2Sam

So the LORD sent a pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the appointed time; and seventy thousand men died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba.


book: 2Sam

When the angel stretched out his hand towards Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, “It is enough. Now withdraw your hand.” The LORD’s angel was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, “Behold, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me, and against my father’s house.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Gad came that day to David, and said to him, “Go up, build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Araunah looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on towards him. Then Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?”
David said, “To buy your threshing floor, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Behold, the cattle for the burnt offering, and the threshing instruments and the yokes of the oxen for the wood.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
All this, O king, does Araunah give to the king.” Araunah said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.”


book: 2Sam
contenido:
The king said to Araunah, “No; but I will most certainly buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels  of silver.


book: 2Sam
contenido:
David built an altar to the LORD there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was entreated for the land, and the plague was removed from Israel.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Now king David was old and advanced in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he couldn’t keep warm.


book: 1Kgs

book: 1Kgs

So they sought for a beautiful young lady throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

book: 1Kgs

Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, “Haven’t you heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord doesn’t know it?


book: 1Kgs

Now therefore come, please let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life, and your son Solomon’s life.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Go in to king David, and tell him, ‘Didn’t you, my lord, king, swear to your servant, saying, “Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne?” Why then does Adonijah reign?’


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Behold,  while you are still talking there with the king, I will also come in after you and confirm your words.”


book: 1Kgs

Bathsheba went in to the king in his room. The king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
She said to him, “My lord, you swore by the LORD  your God  to your servant, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.’


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
He has slain cattle and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but he hasn’t called Solomon your servant.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
You, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered criminals.”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
They told the king, saying, “Behold, Nathan the prophet!”
When he had come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Nathan said, “My lord, king, have you said, ‘Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne?’


book: 1Kgs

For he has gone down today, and has slain cattle, fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king’s sons, the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest. Behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, ‘Long live king Adonijah!’


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
But he hasn’t called me, even me your servant, Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Was this thing done by my lord the king, and you haven’t shown to your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Then king David answered, “Call Bathsheba in to me.” She came into the king’s presence and stood before the king.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
most certainly as I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;’ I will most certainly do this today.”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and showed respect to the king, and said, “Let my lord king David live forever!”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
King David said, “Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.” They came before the king.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
The king said to them, “Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel. Blow the trumpet, and say, ‘Long live king Solomon!’


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Then come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne; for he shall be king in my place. I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah.”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, “Amen. May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, say so.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
As the LORD has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.”


book: 1Kgs

So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on king David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon.


book: 1Kgs

Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the Tent, and anointed Solomon. They blew the trumpet; and all the people said, “Long live king Solomon!”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
All the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth shook with their sound.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they had finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, “Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
While he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said, “Come in; for you are a worthy man, and bring good news.”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
The king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to ride on the king’s mule.


book: 1Kgs

Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon. They have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that you have heard.


book: 1Kgs

Moreover the king’s servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne;’ and the king bowed himself on the bed.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Also thus said the king, ‘Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne today, my eyes even seeing it.’”


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Adonijah was afraid because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and hung onto the horns of the altar.


book: 1Kgs
contenido:
Solomon was told, “Behold, Adonijah fears king Solomon; for, behold, he is hanging onto the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let king Solomon swear to me first that he will not kill his servant with the sword.’”


book: 1Kgs

Solomon said, “If he shows himself a worthy man, not a hair of his shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness is found in him, he shall die.”
