1 Samuel 26

1 And the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, and said, Is not David waiting secretly near us in the hill of Hachilah, before the waste land?

And they went the Ziphites to Saul Gibeah towards saying ¿ not [is] David hiding himself on [the] hill of Hakilah on [the] face of Jeshimon.

2 Then Saul went down to the waste land of Ziph, taking with him three thousand of the best men of Israel, to make search for David in the waste land of Ziph.

And he arose Saul and he went down to [the] wilderness of Ziph and [were] with him three thousand man [the] chosen [men] of Israel to seek David in [the] wilderness of Ziph.

3 And Saul put up his tents on the hill of Hachilah, which is in front of the waste land on the road. But David was in the waste land, and he saw that Saul was coming after him.

And he encamped Saul on [the] hill of Hakilah which [was] on [the] face of Jeshimon on the way and David [was] dwelling in the wilderness and he saw that he had come Saul after him the wilderness towards.

4 And so David sent out watchers, and got word from them that Saul was certainly coming.

And he sent David spies and he knew that he had come Saul to a certain [thing].

5 And David got up and came to the place where Saul's tents were: and David had a view of the place where Saul was sleeping with Abner, the son of Ner, the captain of his army: and Saul was sleeping inside the ring of carts, and the tents of the people were all round him.

And he arose David and he went to the place where he had encamped there Saul and he saw David the place where he lay there Saul and Abner [the] son of Ner [the] commander of army his and Saul [was] lying in the camp and the people [was] encamped (around him. *Q(K)*)

6 Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, Who will go down with me to the tents of Saul? And Abishai said, I will go down with you.

And he answered David and he said - to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Abishai [the] son of Zeruiah [the] brother of Joab saying who? will he go down with me to Saul into the camp and he said Abishai I I will go down with you.

7 So David and Abishai came down to the army by night: and Saul was sleeping inside the ring of carts with his spear planted in the earth by his head: and Abner and the people were sleeping round him.

And he went David and Abishai - to the people night and there! Saul [was] lying sleeping in the camp and spear his [was] thrust in the ground ([the] place of head his *Q(K)*) and Abner and the people [were] lying (around him. *Q(K)*)

8 Then Abishai said to David, God has given up your hater into your hands today; now let me give him one blow through to the earth with his spear, and there will be no need to give him a second.

And he said Abishai to David he has delivered up God this day enemy your in hand your and therefore let me strike him please with the spear and in the ground a time one and not I will repeat to him.

9 And David said to Abishai Do not put him to death; for who, without sin, may put out his hand against the man on whom the Lord has put the holy oil?

And he said David to Abishai may not you destroy him for who? has he stretched out hand his on [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh and will he be free from guilt?

10 And David said, By the living Lord, the Lord will send destruction on him; the natural day of his death will come, or he will go into the fight and come to his end.

And he said David [by] [the] life of Yahweh that except Yahweh he will strike him or day his it will come and he will die or in battle he will go down and he will be carried away.

11 Never will my hand be stretched out against the man marked with the holy oil; but take the spear which is by his head and the vessel of water, and let us go.

Far be it to me from Yahweh from stretching out hand my on [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh and now take please the spear which ([is the] place of head his *Q(K)*) and [the] jug of water and let us go for ourselves.

12 So David took the spear and the vessel of water from Saul's head; and they got away without any man seeing them, or being conscious of their coming, or awaking; for they were all sleeping because a deep sleep from the Lord had come on them.

And he took David the spear and [the] jug of water [at the] head of Saul and they went for themselves and there not [was one who] saw and there not [was one who] knew and there not [was one who] awoke for all of them [were] sleeping for deep sleep of Yahweh it had fallen on them.

13 Then David went over to the other side, and took his place on the top of a mountain some distance away, with a great space between them;

And he passed over David the other side and he stood on [the] top of the hill from a distance great place [was] between them.

14 And crying out to the people and to Abner, the son of Ner, David said, Have you no answer to give, Abner? Then Abner said, Who is that crying out to the king?

And he called out David to the people and to Abner [the] son of Ner saying ¿ not will you answer O Abner and he answered Abner and he said who? [are] you [who] you have called out to the king.

15 And David said to Abner, Are you not a man of war? is there any other like you in Israel? why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? for one of the people came in to put the king your lord to death.

And he said David to Abner ¿ not a man [are] you and who? [is] like you in Israel and why? not did you guard master your the king if he came one of the people to destroy the king master your.

16 What you have done is not good. By the living Lord, death is the right fate for you, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the man on whom the Lord has put the holy oil. Now see, where is the king's spear, and the vessel of water which was by his head?

Not [is] good the thing this which you have done [by] [the] life of Yahweh for [are] sons of death you who not you watched over master your over [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh and now - see where? [is] [the] spear of the king and [the] jug of water which ([was the] place of head his. *Q(K)*)

17 And Saul, conscious that the voice was David's, said, Is that your voice, David, my son? And David said, It is my voice, O my lord king.

And he recognized Saul [the] voice of David and he said ¿ voice your [is] this O son my David and he said David voice my O lord my the king.

18 And he said, Why does my lord go armed against his servant? what have I done? or what evil is there in me?

And he said why? this [is] lord my pursuing after servant his for what? have I done and what? [is] in hand my evil.

19 Let my lord the king give ear now to the words of his servant. If it is the Lord who is moving you against me, let him take an offering: but if it is the children of men, may they be cursed before the Lord, for driving me out today and keeping me from my place in the heritage of the Lord, saying, Go, be the servant of other gods.

And now let him hear please lord my the king [the] words of servant his if Yahweh he has incited you against me may he smell an offering and if - [the] sons of humankind [be] cursed they before Yahweh for they have driven out me this day from having a share in [the] inheritance of Yahweh saying go serve gods other.

20 Then do not let my blood be drained out on the earth away from the face of the Lord: for the king of Israel has come out to take my life, like one going after birds in the mountains.

And now may not it fall blood my [the] ground towards from before [the] presence of Yahweh for he has come out [the] king of Israel to seek a flea one just as someone pursues the partridge in the mountains.

21 Then Saul said, I have done wrong: come back to me, David my son: I will do you no more wrong, because my life was dear to you today truly, I have been foolish and my error is very great.

And he said Saul I have sinned return O son my David for not I will do harm to you again because that it was precious life my in view your the day this here! I have behaved foolishly and I have gone astray greatly very.

22 Then David said, Here is the king's spear! let one of the young men come over and get it.

And he answered David and he said here! ([the] spear of *Q(K)*) the king and let him pass over one from the young men and let him take it.

23 And the Lord will give to every man the reward of his righteousness and his faith: because the Lord gave you into my hands today, and I would not put out my hand against the man who has been marked with the holy oil.

And Yahweh he will return to everyone righteousness his and faithfulness his that he gave you Yahweh - this day in a hand and not I was willing to stretch out hand my on [the] [one] anointed of Yahweh.

24 And so, as your life was dear to me today, may my life be dear to the Lord, and may he make me free from all my troubles.

And here! just as it was great life your the day this in view my so may it be great life my in [the] eyes of Yahweh and may he deliver me from every trouble.

25 Then Saul said to David, May a blessing be on you, David, my son; you will do great things and without doubt you will overcome. Then David went on his way, and Saul went back to his place.

And he said Saul to David [be] blessed you O son my David both certainly you will do as well as certainly you will prevail and he went David to way his and Saul he returned to place his.
