1 Samuel 26

1 Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Look, David is hiding himself on the hill of Hakilah, which is near Jeshimon."

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 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.

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 Saul camped on the hill of Hakilah, which is before Jeshimon, near the road. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.

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 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had certainly come.

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

5 David arose, and came to the place where Saul had camped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army: and Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were camped around 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 answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hethite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, "Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?" 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 to the people by night: and, look, 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.

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 delivered up your enemy into your hand this day. 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."

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 David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him; for who can put forth his hand against YHWH's anointed, and be guiltless?"

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 David said, "As YHWH lives, YHWH will strike him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.

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 YHWH forbid that I should put forth my hand against YHWH's anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head, and the jar 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 jar of water at his head, and they went away. And no one saw it or knew about it, nor did any awake. For they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from YHWH had fallen 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 crossed over to the other side and stood on the top of the hill some distance away; there was a great distance 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 David called to the people, and to Abner, saying, "Will you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner replied, "Who are you that calls?"

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 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.

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 This thing isn't good that you have done. As YHWH lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, YHWH's anointed. Now look, where is the king's spear, and where is the jar of water that 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 Saul knew David's voice, and said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" David said, "It is my voice, my lord, O 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 He said, "Why does my lord pursue after his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in my hand?

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 Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that God has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is from human beings, they are cursed before YHWH; for they have driven me out this day that I shouldn't cling to YHWH's inheritance, saying, 'Go, serve 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 Now therefore, do not let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of YHWH; for the king of Israel has come out to seek my life, as when one hunts a partridge 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 sinned. Come back, my son David, for I will not harm you, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Look, I have behaved foolishly, and have made a great mistake."

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 And David answered and said, "Look, the king's spear. Now 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 YHWH will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; because YHWH delivered you into my hand today, and I wouldn't put forth my hand against YHWH's anointed.

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 Look, as your life was respected this day in my eyes, so let my life be respected in the eyes of YHWH, and let him deliver me out of all oppression."

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, "You are blessed, my son. You will accomplish much, and will surely be successful." So David went his way, and Saul returned 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.
