Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:14 - But now your kingdom will not endure; the LORD has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him ruler of his people, because you have not kept the LORD's command.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:47 - After Saul had assumed rule over Israel, he fought against their enemies on every side: Moab, the Ammonites, Edom, the kings[fn] of Zobah, and the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he inflicted punishment on them.[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:19 - Why did you not obey the LORD? Why did you pounce on the plunder and do evil in the eyes of the LORD?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:23 - For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has rejected you as king.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:1 - The LORD said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:7 - But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:21 - “I will give her to him,” he thought, “so that she may be a snare to him and so that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “Now you have a second opportunity to become my son-in-law.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:16 - But when the men entered, there was the idol in the bed, and at the head was some goats' hair.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:9 - “Never!” Jonathan said. “If I had the least inkling that my father was determined to harm you, wouldn't I tell you?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:13 - But if my father intends to harm you, may the LORD deal with Jonathan, be it ever so severely, if I do not let you know and send you away in peace. May the LORD be with you as he has been with my father.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:27 - But the next day, the second day of the month, David's place was empty again. Then Saul said to his son Jonathan, “Why hasn't the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:29 - He said, ‘Let me go, because our family is observing a sacrifice in the town and my brother has ordered me to be there. If I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away to see my brothers.' That is why he has not come to the king's table.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:30 - Saul's anger flared up at Jonathan and he said to him, “You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Don't I know that you have sided with the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of the mother who bore you?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:31 - As long as the son of Jesse lives on this earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Now send someone to bring him to me, for he must die!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:33 - But Saul hurled his spear at him to kill him. Then Jonathan knew that his father intended to kill David.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:40 - Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy and said, “Go, carry them back to town.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:41 - After the boy had gone, David got up from the south side of the stone and bowed down before Jonathan three times, with his face to the ground. Then they kissed each other and wept together—but David wept the most.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:13 - So he pretended to be insane in their presence; and while he was in their hands he acted like a madman, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his beard.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:3 - He came to the sheep pens along the way; a cave was there, and Saul went in to relieve himself. David and his men were far back in the cave.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:8 - Then David went out of the cave and called out to Saul, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:10 - This day you have seen with your own eyes how the LORD delivered you into my hands in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you; I said, ‘I will not lay my hand on my lord, because he is the LORD's anointed.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:12 - May the LORD judge between you and me. And may the LORD avenge the wrongs you have done to me, but my hand will not touch you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:13 - As the old saying goes, ‘From evildoers come evil deeds,' so my hand will not touch you.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:24 - She fell at his feet and said: “Pardon your servant, my lord, and let me speak to you; hear what your servant has to say.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:25 - Please pay no attention, my lord, to that wicked man Nabal. He is just like his name—his name means Fool, and folly goes with him. And as for me, your servant, I did not see the men my lord sent.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:30 - When the LORD has fulfilled for my lord every good thing he promised concerning him and has appointed him ruler over Israel,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:41 - She bowed down with her face to the ground and said, “I am your servant and am ready to serve you and wash the feet of my lord's servants.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:3 - Saul made his camp beside the road on the hill of Hakilah facing Jeshimon, but David stayed in the wilderness. When he saw that Saul had followed him there,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:9 - But David said to Abishai, “Don't destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the LORD's anointed and be guiltless?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:11 - But the LORD forbid that I should lay a hand on the LORD's anointed. Now get the spear and water jug that are near his head, and let's go.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:13 - Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on top of the hill some distance away; there was a wide space between them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:20 - Now do not let my blood fall to the ground far from the presence of the LORD. The king of Israel has come out to look for a flea—as one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:23 - The LORD rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness. The LORD delivered you into my hands today, but I would not lay a hand on the LORD's anointed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:8 - Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites and the Amalekites. (From ancient times these peoples had lived in the land extending to Shur and Egypt.)

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:14 - “What does he look like?” he asked. “An old man wearing a robe is coming up,” she said. Then Saul knew it was Samuel, and he bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:20 - Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, filled with fear because of Samuel's words. His strength was gone, for he had eaten nothing all that day and all that night.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:23 - He refused and said, “I will not eat.” But his men joined the woman in urging him, and he listened to them. He got up from the ground and sat on the couch.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:15 - David asked him, “Can you lead me down to this raiding party?” He answered, “Swear to me before God that you will not kill me or hand me over to my master, and I will take you down to them.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:16 - He led David down, and there they were, scattered over the countryside, eating, drinking and reveling because of the great amount of plunder they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from Judah.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:17 - David fought them from dusk until the evening of the next day, and none of them got away, except four hundred young men who rode off on camels and fled.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:24 - Who will listen to what you say? The share of the man who stayed with the supplies is to be the same as that of him who went down to the battle. All will share alike.”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:10 - “So I stood beside him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band on his arm and have brought them here to my lord.”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:17 - David took up this lament concerning Saul and his son Jonathan,
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:18 - and he ordered that the people of Judah be taught this lament of the bow (it is written in the Book of Jashar):

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:24 - “Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet and finery, who adorned your garments with ornaments of gold.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:25 - “How the mighty have fallen in battle! Jonathan lies slain on your heights.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:13 - Joab son of Zeruiah and David's men went out and met them at the pool of Gibeon. One group sat down on one side of the pool and one group on the other side.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:23 - But Asahel refused to give up the pursuit; so Abner thrust the butt of his spear into Asahel's stomach, and the spear came out through his back. He fell there and died on the spot. And every man stopped when he came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:21 - Then Abner said to David, “Let me go at once and assemble all Israel for my lord the king, so that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may rule over all that your heart desires.” So David sent Abner away, and he went in peace.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:27 - Now when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into an inner chamber, as if to speak with him privately. And there, to avenge the blood of his brother Asahel, Joab stabbed him in the stomach, and he died.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:29 - May his blood fall on the head of Joab and on his whole family! May Joab's family never be without someone who has a running sore or leprosy[fn] or who leans on a crutch or who falls by the sword or who lacks food.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:32 - They buried Abner in Hebron, and the king wept aloud at Abner's tomb. All the people wept also.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:33 - The king sang this lament for Abner: “Should Abner have died as the lawless die?

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 4:11 - How much more—when wicked men have killed an innocent man in his own house and on his own bed—should I not now demand his blood from your hand and rid the earth of you!”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 4:12 - So David gave an order to his men, and they killed them. They cut off their hands and feet and hung the bodies by the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-Bosheth and buried it in Abner's tomb at Hebron.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 8:2 - David also defeated the Moabites. He made them lie down on the ground and measured them off with a length of cord. Every two lengths of them were put to death, and the third length was allowed to live. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute.
