Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 5:8 - So they called together all the rulers of the Philistines and asked them, “What shall we do with the ark of the god of Israel?” They answered, “Have the ark of the god of Israel moved to Gath.” So they moved the ark of the God of Israel.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:3 - Now the donkeys belonging to Saul's father Kish were lost, and Kish said to his son Saul, “Take one of the servants with you and go and look for the donkeys.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:9 - (Formerly in Israel, if someone went to inquire of God, they would say, “Come, let us go to the seer,” because the prophet of today used to be called a seer.)
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:10 - “Good,” Saul said to his servant. “Come, let's go.” So they set out for the town where the man of God was.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:15 - Now the day before Saul came, the LORD had revealed this to Samuel:
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:16 - “About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. Anoint him ruler over my people Israel; he will deliver them from the hand of the Philistines. I have looked on my people, for their cry has reached me.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:21 - Saul answered, “But am I not a Benjamite, from the smallest tribe of Israel, and is not my clan the least of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin? Why do you say such a thing to me?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:2 - When you leave me today, you will meet two men near Rachel's tomb, at Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys you set out to look for have been found. And now your father has stopped thinking about them and is worried about you. He is asking, “What shall I do about my son?” '
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:3 - “Then you will go on from there until you reach the great tree of Tabor. Three men going up to worship God at Bethel will meet you there. One will be carrying three young goats, another three loaves of bread, and another a skin of wine.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:8 - “Go down ahead of me to Gilgal. I will surely come down to you to sacrifice burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, but you must wait seven days until I come to you and tell you what you are to do.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:18 - and said to them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt, and I delivered you from the power of Egypt and all the kingdoms that oppressed you.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:24 - Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see the man the LORD has chosen? There is no one like him among all the people.” Then the people shouted, “Long live the king!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:25 - Samuel explained to the people the rights and duties of kingship. He wrote them down on a scroll and deposited it before the LORD. Then Samuel dismissed the people to go to their own homes.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 11:1 - Nahash[fn] the Ammonite went up and besieged Jabesh Gilead. And all the men of Jabesh said to him, “Make a treaty with us, and we will be subject to you.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 11:2 - But Nahash the Ammonite replied, “I will make a treaty with you only on the condition that I gouge out the right eye of every one of you and so bring disgrace on all Israel.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:10 - They cried out to the LORD and said, ‘We have sinned; we have forsaken the LORD and served the Baals and the Ashtoreths. But now deliver us from the hands of our enemies, and we will serve you.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:19 - The people all said to Samuel, “Pray to the LORD your God for your servants so that we will not die, for we have added to all our other sins the evil of asking for a king.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:20 - “Do not be afraid,” Samuel replied. “You have done all this evil; yet do not turn away from the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:13 - “You have done a foolish thing,” Samuel said. “You have not kept the command the LORD your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:6 - Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, “Come, let's go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will act in our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:8 - Jonathan said, “Come on, then; we will cross over toward them and let them see us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:9 - If they say to us, ‘Wait there until we come to you,' we will stay where we are and not go up to them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:10 - But if they say, ‘Come up to us,' we will climb up, because that will be our sign that the LORD has given them into our hands.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:12 - The men of the outpost shouted to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, “Come up to us and we'll teach you a lesson.” So Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, “Climb up after me; the LORD has given them into the hand of Israel.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:19 - While Saul was talking to the priest, the tumult in the Philistine camp increased more and more. So Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:36 - Saul said, “Let us go down and pursue the Philistines by night and plunder them till dawn, and let us not leave one of them alive.” “Do whatever seems best to you,” they replied. But the priest said, “Let us inquire of God here.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:40 - Saul then said to all the Israelites, “You stand over there; I and Jonathan my son will stand over here.” “Do what seems best to you,” they replied.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:42 - Saul said, “Cast the lot between me and Jonathan my son.” And Jonathan was taken.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:43 - Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” So Jonathan told him, “I tasted a little honey with the end of my staff. And now I must die!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:45 - But the men said to Saul, “Should Jonathan die—he who has brought about this great deliverance in Israel? Never! As surely as the LORD lives, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, for he did this today with God's help.” So the men rescued Jonathan, and he was not put to death.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:1 - Samuel said to Saul, “I am the one the LORD sent to anoint you king over his people Israel; so listen now to the message from the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:6 - Then he said to the Kenites, “Go away, leave the Amalekites so that I do not destroy you along with them; for you showed kindness to all the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt.” So the Kenites moved away from the Amalekites.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:10 - Then the word of the LORD came to Samuel:
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:11 - “I regret that I have made Saul king, because he has turned away from me and has not carried out my instructions.” Samuel was angry, and he cried out to the LORD all that night.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:12 - Early in the morning Samuel got up and went to meet Saul, but he was told, “Saul has gone to Carmel. There he has set up a monument in his own honor and has turned and gone on down to Gilgal.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:13 - When Samuel reached him, Saul said, “The LORD bless you! I have carried out the LORD's instructions.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:16 - “Enough!” Samuel said to Saul. “Let me tell you what the LORD said to me last night.” “Tell me,” Saul replied.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:17 - Samuel said, “Although you were once small in your own eyes, did you not become the head of the tribes of Israel? The LORD anointed you king over Israel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:20 - “But I did obey the LORD,” Saul said. “I went on the mission the LORD assigned me. I completely destroyed the Amalekites and brought back Agag their king.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:24 - Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned. I violated the LORD's command and your instructions. I was afraid of the men and so I gave in to them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:26 - But Samuel said to him, “I will not go back with you. You have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you as king over Israel!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:28 - Samuel said to him, “The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to one of your neighbors—to one better than you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:32 - Then Samuel said, “Bring me Agag king of the Amalekites.” Agag came to him in chains.[fn] And he thought, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:33 - But Samuel said, “As your sword has made women childless, so will your mother be childless among women.” And Samuel put Agag to death before the LORD at Gilgal.
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 16:3 - Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what to do. You are to anoint for me the one I indicate.”
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 16:11 - So he asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?” “There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered. “He is tending the sheep.” Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:12 - So he sent for him and had him brought in. He was glowing with health and had a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the LORD said, “Rise and anoint him; this is the one.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:15 - Saul's attendants said to him, “See, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:17 - So Saul said to his attendants, “Find someone who plays well and bring him to me.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:19 - Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:20 - So Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them with his son David to Saul.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:21 - David came to Saul and entered his service. Saul liked him very much, and David became one of his armor-bearers.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:22 - Then Saul sent word to Jesse, saying, “Allow David to remain in my service, for I am pleased with him.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:9 - If he is able to fight and kill me, we will become your subjects; but if I overcome him and kill him, you will become our subjects and serve us.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:32 - David said to Saul, “Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:33 - Saul replied, “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:34 - But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:37 - The LORD who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” Saul said to David, “Go, and the LORD be with you.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:39 - David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them. “I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “because I am not used to them.” So he took them off.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:40 - Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd's bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:43 - He said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:44 - “Come here,” he said, “and I'll give your flesh to the birds and the wild animals!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:45 - David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:1 - Saul told his son Jonathan and all the attendants to kill David. But Jonathan had taken a great liking to David
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:3 - I will go out and stand with my father in the field where you are. I'll speak to him about you and will tell you what I find out.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:4 - Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king do wrong to his servant David; he has not wronged you, and what he has done has benefited you greatly.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:7 - So Jonathan called David and told him the whole conversation. He brought him to Saul, and David was with Saul as before.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:8 - Once more war broke out, and David went out and fought the Philistines. He struck them with such force that they fled before him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:13 - Then Michal took an idol and laid it on the bed, covering it with a garment and putting some goats' hair at the head.
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 19:18 - When David had fled and made his escape, he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:4 - Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you want me to do, I'll do for you.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:5 - So David said, “Look, tomorrow is the New Moon feast, and I am supposed to dine with the king; but let me go and hide in the field until the evening of the day after tomorrow.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:10 - David asked, “Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:11 - “Come,” Jonathan said, “let's go out into the field.” So they went there together.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:12 - Then Jonathan said to David, “I swear by the LORD, the God of Israel, that I will surely sound out my father by this time the day after tomorrow! If he is favorably disposed toward you, will I not send you word and let you know?
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 20:38 - Then he shouted, “Hurry! Go quickly! Don't stop!” The boy picked up the arrow and returned to his master.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:1 - David went to Nob, to Ahimelek the priest. Ahimelek trembled when he met him, and asked, “Why are you alone? Why is no one with you?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:8 - David asked Ahimelek, “Don't you have a spear or a sword here? I haven't brought my sword or any other weapon, because the king's mission was urgent.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:10 - That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:11 - But the servants of Achish said to him, “Isn't this David, the king of the land? Isn't he the one they sing about in their dances: “ ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands'?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:14 - Achish said to his servants, “Look at the man! He is insane! Why bring him to me?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:1 - David left Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and his father's household heard about it, they went down to him there.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:2 - All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him, and he became their commander. About four hundred men were with him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:3 - From there David went to Mizpah in Moab and said to the king of Moab, “Would you let my father and mother come and stay with you until I learn what God will do for me?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:5 - But the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Go into the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:7 - He said to them, “Listen, men of Benjamin! Will the son of Jesse give all of you fields and vineyards? Will he make all of you commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:9 - But Doeg the Edomite, who was standing with Saul's officials, said, “I saw the son of Jesse come to Ahimelek son of Ahitub at Nob.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:11 - Then the king sent for the priest Ahimelek son of Ahitub and all the men of his family, who were the priests at Nob, and they all came to the king.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:3 - But David's men said to him, “Here in Judah we are afraid. How much more, then, if we go to Keilah against the Philistine forces!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:4 - Once again David inquired of the LORD, and the LORD answered him, “Go down to Keilah, for I am going to give the Philistines into your hand.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:6 - (Now Abiathar son of Ahimelek had brought the ephod down with him when he fled to David at Keilah.)
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:9 - When David learned that Saul was plotting against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:16 - And Saul's son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:17 - “Don't be afraid,” he said. “My father Saul will not lay a hand on you. You will be king over Israel, and I will be second to you. Even my father Saul knows this.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:19 - The Ziphites went up to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding among us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hakilah, south of Jeshimon?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:20 - Now, Your Majesty, come down whenever it pleases you to do so, and we will be responsible for giving him into your hands.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:27 - a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Come quickly! The Philistines are raiding the land.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:4 - The men said, “This is the day the LORD spoke of when he said[fn] to you, ‘I will give your enemy into your hands for you to deal with as you wish.' ” Then David crept up unnoticed and cut off a corner of Saul's robe.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:6 - He said to his men, “The LORD forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the LORD's anointed, or lay my hand on him; for he is the anointed of the LORD.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:9 - He said to Saul, “Why do you listen when men say, ‘David is bent on harming you'?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:16 - When David finished saying this, Saul asked, “Is that your voice, David my son?” And he wept aloud.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:17 - “You are more righteous than I,” he said. “You have treated me well, but I have treated you badly.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:5 - So he sent ten young men and said to them, “Go up to Nabal at Carmel and greet him in my name.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:9 - When David's men arrived, they gave Nabal this message in David's name. Then they waited.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:17 - Now think it over and see what you can do, because disaster is hanging over our master and his whole household. He is such a wicked man that no one can talk to him.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:22 - May God deal with David,[fn] be it ever so severely, if by morning I leave alive one male of all who belong to him!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:34 - Otherwise, as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has kept me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, not one male belonging to Nabal would have been left alive by daybreak.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:36 - When Abigail went to Nabal, he was in the house holding a banquet like that of a king. He was in high spirits and very drunk. So she told him nothing at all until daybreak.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:40 - His servants went to Carmel and said to Abigail, “David has sent us to you to take you to become his wife.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:1 - The Ziphites went to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding on the hill of Hakilah, which faces Jeshimon?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:6 - David then asked Ahimelek the Hittite and Abishai son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, “Who will go down into the camp with me to Saul?” “I'll go with you,” said Abishai.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:7 - So David and Abishai went to the army by night, and there was Saul, lying asleep inside the camp with his spear stuck in the ground near his head. Abner and the soldiers were lying around him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:8 - Abishai said to David, “Today God has delivered your enemy into your hands. Now let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; I won't strike him twice.”
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 26:12 - So David took the spear and water jug near Saul's head, and they left. No one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up. They were all sleeping, because the LORD had put them into a deep sleep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:15 - David said, “You're a man, aren't you? And who is like you in Israel? Why didn't you guard your lord the king? Someone came to destroy your lord the king.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:16 - What you have done is not good. As surely as the LORD lives, you and your men must die, because you did not guard your master, the LORD's anointed. Look around you. Where are the king's spear and water jug that were near his head?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:25 - Then Saul said to David, “May you be blessed, David my son; you will do great things and surely triumph.” So David went on his way, and Saul returned home.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:2 - So David and the six hundred men with him left and went over to Achish son of Maok king of Gath.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:5 - Then David said to Achish, “If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be assigned to me in one of the country towns, that I may live there. Why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:9 - Whenever David attacked an area, he did not leave a man or woman alive, but took sheep and cattle, donkeys and camels, and clothes. Then he returned to Achish.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:10 - When Achish asked, “Where did you go raiding today?” David would say, “Against the Negev of Judah” or “Against the Negev of Jerahmeel” or “Against the Negev of the Kenites.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:1 - In those days the Philistines gathered their forces to fight against Israel. Achish said to David, “You must understand that you and your men will accompany me in the army.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:2 - David said, “Then you will see for yourself what your servant can do.” Achish replied, “Very well, I will make you my bodyguard for life.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:7 - Saul then said to his attendants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I may go and inquire of her.” “There is one in Endor,” they said.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:8 - So Saul disguised himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman. “Consult a spirit for me,” he said, “and bring up for me the one I name.”
