David Takes Saul’s Spear
1 Then the Ziphites H2130 came H935 to Saul H7586 at Gibeah H1390, saying H559, “Is not David H1732 hiding H5641 on the hill H1389 of Hachilah H2444, which is before H5921 H6440 [fn]Jeshimon H3452?”
2 So Saul H7586 arose H6965 and went H3381 down H3381 to the wilderness H4057 of Ziph H2128, having with him three H7969 thousand H505 chosen H977 men H376 of Israel H3478, to search H1245 for David H1732 in the wilderness H4057 of Ziph H2128. 3 And Saul H7586 camped H2583 in the hill H1389 of Hachilah H2444, which H834 is before H5921 H6440 [fn]Jeshimon H3452, beside H5921 the road H1870. Now David H1732 was staying H3427 in the wilderness H4057, and he saw H7200 that Saul H7586 came H935 after H310 him into the wilderness H4057. 4 So David H1732 sent H7971 out H7971 spies H7270 and knew H3045 that Saul H7586 was certainly H3559 coming H935. 5 David H1732 then arose H6965 and came H935 to the place H4725 where H834 H8033 Saul H7586 had camped H2583. And David H1732 saw H7200 the place H4725 where H834 H8033 Saul H7586 lay H7901, as well as Abner H74 the son H1121 of Ner H5369, the commander H8269 of his army H6635; and Saul H7586 was lying H7901 in the circle H4570 of H4570 the H4570 camp H4570, and the people H5971 were camped H2583 around H5439 him.
6 Then David H1732 answered H6030 and said H559 to Ahimelech H288 the Hittite H2850 and to Abishai H52 the son H1121 of Zeruiah H6870, Joab’s H3097 brother H251, saying H559, “Who H4310 will go H3381 down H3381 with me to Saul H7586 in the camp H4264?” And Abishai H52 said H559, “I will go H3381 down H3381 with you.” 7 So David H1732 and Abishai H52 came H935 to the people H5971 by night H3915, and behold H2009, Saul H7586 lay H7901 sleeping H3463 inside the circle H4570 of H4570 the H4570 camp H4570 with his spear H2595 stuck H4600 in the ground H776 at H4763 his head H4763; and Abner H74 and the people H5971 were lying H7901 around H5439 him. 8 Then Abishai H52 said H559 to David H1732, “Today H3117 God H430 has surrendered H5462 your enemy H340 into your hand H3027; so now H6258, please H4994 let me strike H5221 him with the spear H2595 [fn]to the ground H776 with one H259 stroke H6471, and I will not [fn]strike him the second H8138 time H8138.” 9 But David H1732 said H559 to Abishai H52, “Do not destroy H7843 him, for who H4310 can send H7971 forth H7971 his hand H3027 against the anointed H4899 of Yahweh H3068 and be without H5352 guilt H5352?” 10 David H1732 also said H559, “As Yahweh H3068 lives H2416, surely H3588 H518 Yahweh H3068 will smite H5062 him, or H176 his day H3117 will come H935 that he dies H4191, or H176 he will go H3381 down H3381 into battle H4421 and be swept H5595 away H5595. 11 Yahweh H3068 forbid H2486 that I should send H7971 forth H7971 my hand H3027 against the anointed H4899 of Yahweh H3068; but now H6258 please H4994 take H3947 the spear H2595 that is at H4763 his head H4763 and the jug H6835 of water H4325, and let us go H1980.” 12 So David H1732 took H3947 the spear H2595 and the jug H6835 of water H4325 from beside Saul’s H7586 head H4763, and they went H1980 away, but no H369 one H369 saw H7200 or knew H3045 it, nor H369 did any awake H6974, for they were all H3605 asleep H3463, because H3588 a [fn]sound H8639 sleep H8639 from Yahweh H3068 had fallen H5307 on them.
13 Then David H1732 crossed H5674 over H5674 to the other H5676 side H5676 and stood H5975 on top H7218 of the mountain H2022 at a distance H7350 with a large H7227 area H4725 between H996 them. 14 And David H1732 called H7121 to the people H5971 and to Abner H74 the son H1121 of Ner H5369, saying H559, “Will you not answer H6030, Abner H74?” Then Abner H74 answered H6030 and said H559, “Who H4310 are you who calls H7121 to the king H4428?” 15 So David H1732 said H559 to Abner H74, “Are you not a man H376? And who H4310 is like H3644 you in Israel H3478? Why H4100 then have you not guarded H8104 your lord H113 the king H4428? For one H259 of the people H5971 came H935 to destroy H7843 the king H4428 your lord H113. 16 This H2088 thing H1697 that you have done H6213 is not good H2896. As Yahweh H3068 lives H2416, all of you [fn]must H1121 surely H3588 die H4194 because H834 you did not keep H8104 watch H8104 over your lord H113, the anointed H4899 of Yahweh H3068. So now H6258, see H7200 where H335 the king’s H4428 spear H2595 is and the jug H6835 of water H4325 that was at H4763 his head H4763.”
17 Then Saul H7586 recognized H5234 David’s H1732 voice H6963 and said H559, “Is this H2088 your voice H6963, my son H1121 David H1732?” And David H1732 said H559, “It is my voice H6963, my lord H113 the king H4428.” 18 He also said H559, “Why H4100 then H2088 is my lord H113 pursuing H7291 his servant H5650? For what H4100 have I done H6213? Or what H4100 evil H7451 is in my hand H3027? 19 So now H6258, please H4994 let my lord H113 the king H4428 listen H8085 to the words H1697 of his servant H5650. If H518 Yahweh H3068 has incited H5496 you up against me, let Him [fn]accept H7306 an offering H4503; but if H518 it is [fn]men H1121 H120, cursed H779 are they before H6440 Yahweh H3068, for they have driven H1644 me out H1644 today H3117 so H4480 that H4480 I would have no H4480 attachment H5596 with the inheritance H5159 of Yahweh H3068, saying H559, ‘Go H1980, serve H5647 other H312 gods H430.’ 20 So now H6258, do not let my blood H1818 fall H5307 to the ground H776 away H5048 from the presence H6440 of Yahweh H3068; for the king H4428 of Israel H3478 has come H3318 out H3318 to search H1245 for a single H259 flea H6550, just H834 as one pursues H7291 a partridge H7124 in the mountains H2022.”
21 Then Saul H7586 said H559, “I have sinned H2398. Return H7725, my son H1121 David H1732, for I will not harm H7489 you again H5750 because H8478 H834 my life H5315 was H3365 precious H3365 in your sight H5869 this H2088 day H3117. Behold H2009, I have played H5528 the H5528 fool H5528 and have committed H7686 a H7686 serious H7235 H3966 error H7686.” 22 And David H1732 replied H6030, “Behold H2009 the spear H2595 of the king H4428! Now let one H259 of the young H5288 men H5288 come H5674 over H5674 and take H3947 it. 23 Now Yahweh H3068 will repay H7725 each H376 man H376 for his righteousness H6666 and his faithfulness H530; for Yahweh H3068 gave H5414 you into my hand H3027 today H3117, but I was H14 not H3808 willing H14 to send H7971 forth my hand H3027 against the anointed H4899 of Yahweh H3068. 24 Now behold H2009, as your life H5315 was highly H1431 valued H1431 in my sight H5869 this H2088 day H3117, so H3651 may my life H5315 be highly H1431 valued H1431 in the sight H5869 of Yahweh H3068, and may He deliver H5337 me from all H3605 distress H6869.” 25 Then Saul H7586 said H559 to David H1732, “Blessed H1288 are you, my son H1121 David H1732; you will both H1571 accomplish H6213 much H6213 and surely H3201 prevail H3201.” So David H1732 went H1980 on his way H1870, and Saul H7586 returned H7725 to his place H4725.
