2 Samuel chapter 11 Now it came H1961 to pass after H310 the death H4194 of Saul, H7586 when David H1732 was returned H7725 from the slaughter H5221 of the Amalekites, H6003 and David H1732 had stayed H3427 two H8147 days H3117 in Ziklag; H6860 [ref]2 It came H1961 even to pass on the third H7992 day, H3117 that, behold, H2009 a man H376 came H935 out of the camp H4264 from Saul H7586 with his clothes H899 rent, H7167 and earth H127 on his head: H7218 and so it was, when he came H935 to David, H1732 that he fell H5307 to the earth, H776 and did obeisance. H7812 [ref]3 And David H1732 said H559 to him, From where H335 H2088 come H935 you? And he said H559 to him, Out of the camp H4264 of Israel H3478 am I escaped. H4422 [ref]4 And David H1732 said H559 to him, How H4100 went H1961 the matter? H1697 I pray H4994 you, tell H5046 me. And he answered, H559 That the people H5971 are fled H5127 from the battle, H4421 and many H7235 of the people H5971 also H1571 are fallen H5307 and dead; H4191 and Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 his son H1121 are dead H4191 also. H1571 [ref]5 And David H1732 said H559 to the young H5288 man that told H5046 him, How H349 know H3045 you that Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 his son H1121 be dead? H4191 [ref]6 And the young H5288 man that told H5046 him said, H559 As I happened H7136 by chance H7122 on mount H2022 Gilboa, H1533 behold, H2009 Saul H7586 leaned H8172 on his spear; H2595 and, see, H2009 the chariots H7393 and horsemen H1167 H6571 followed H1692 hard H1692 after him. [ref]7 And when he looked H6437 behind H310 him, he saw H7200 me, and called H7121 to me. And I answered, H559 Here H2009 am I. [ref]8 And he said H559 to me, Who H4310 are you? And I answered H559 him, I am an Amalekite. H6003 [ref]9 He said H559 to me again, Stand, H5975 I pray H4994 you, on me, and slay H4191 me: for anguish H7661 is come H270 on me, because H3588 my life H5315 is yet H5750 whole H3605 in me. 10 So I stood H5975 on him, and slew H4191 him, because H3588 I was sure H3045 that he could not live H2421 after H310 that he was fallen: H5307 and I took H3947 the crown H5145 that was on his head, H7218 and the bracelet H685 that was on H5921 his arm, H2220 and have brought H935 them here to my lord. H113 [ref]11 Then David H1732 took hold H2388 on his clothes, H899 and rent H7167 them; and likewise H1571 all H3605 the men H582 that were with him: [ref]12 And they mourned, H5594 and wept, H1058 and fasted H6684 until H5704 even, H6153 for Saul, H7586 and for Jonathan H3083 his son, H1121 and for the people H5971 of the LORD, H3068 and for the house H1004 of Israel; H3478 because H3588 they were fallen H5307 by the sword. H2719 [ref]13 And David H1732 said H559 to the young H5288 man that told H5046 him, From where H335 H2088 are you? And he answered, H559 I am the son H1121 of a stranger, H376 H1616 an Amalekite. H6003 14 And David H1732 said H559 to him, How H349 were you not afraid H3372 to stretch H7971 forth your hand H3027 to destroy H7843 the LORD's H3068 anointed? H4899 [ref]15 And David H1732 called H7121 one H259 of the young H5288 men, and said, H559 Go H5066 near, H5066 and fall H6293 on him. And he smote H5221 him that he died. H4191 [ref]16 And David H1732 said H559 to him, Your blood H1818 be on your head; H7218 for your mouth H6310 has testified H6030 against you, saying, H559 I have slain H4191 the LORD's H3068 anointed. H4899 [ref]17 And David H1732 lamented H6969 with this H2063 lamentation H7015 over H5921 Saul H7586 and over H5921 Jonathan H3083 his son: H1121 [ref]18 (Also he bade H559 them teach H3925 the children H1121 of Judah H3063 the use of the bow: H7198 behold, H2009 it is written H3789 in the book H5612 of Jasher. H3477 ) [ref]19 The beauty H6643 of Israel H3478 is slain H2491 on your high H1116 places: how H349 are the mighty H1368 fallen! H5307 [ref]20 Tell H5046 it not in Gath, H1661 publish H1319 it not in the streets H2351 of Askelon; H831 lest H6435 the daughters H1323 of the Philistines H6430 rejoice, H8055 lest H6435 the daughters H1323 of the uncircumcised H6189 triumph. H5937 [ref]21 You mountains H2022 of Gilboa, H1533 let there be no H408 dew, H2919 neither H408 let there be rain, H4306 on you, nor fields H7704 of offerings: H8641 for there H8033 the shield H4043 of the mighty H1368 is vilely H1602 cast H1602 away, the shield H4043 of Saul, H7586 as though he had not been anointed H4899 with oil. H8081 [ref]22 From the blood H1818 of the slain, H2491 from the fat H2459 of the mighty, H1368 the bow H7198 of Jonathan H3083 turned H7734 not back, H268 and the sword H2719 of Saul H7586 returned H7725 not empty. H7387 [ref]23 Saul H7586 and Jonathan H3083 were lovely H157 and pleasant H5273 in their lives, H2416 and in their death H4194 they were not divided: H6504 they were swifter H7043 than eagles, H5404 they were stronger H1396 than lions. H738 [ref]24 You daughters H1323 of Israel, H3478 weep H1058 over H413 Saul, H7586 who clothed H3847 you in scarlet, H8144 with other delights, H5730 who put H5927 on ornaments H5716 of gold H2091 on your apparel. H3830 [ref]25 How H349 are the mighty H1368 fallen H5307 in the middle H8432 of the battle! H4421 O Jonathan, H3083 you were slain H2491 in your high H1116 places. [ref]26 I am distressed H6887 for you, my brother H251 Jonathan: H3083 very H3966 pleasant H5276 have you been to me: your love H160 to me was wonderful, H6381 passing the love H160 of women. H802 [ref]27 How H349 are the mighty H1368 fallen, H5307 and the weapons H3627 of war H4421 perished! H6 [ref]Psalm chapter 1401 To the chief H5329 Musician, H5329 A Psalm H4210 of David. H1732 Deliver H2502 me, O LORD, H3068 from the evil H7451 man: H120 preserve H5341 me from the violent H2555 man; H376 [ref]2 Which H834 imagine H2803 mischiefs H7451 in their heart; H3820 continually H3605 H3117 are they gathered H1481 together for war. H4421 [ref]3 They have sharpened H8150 their tongues H3956 like a serpent; H5175 adders' H5919 poison H2534 is under H8478 their lips. H8193 Selah. H5542 [ref]4 Keep H8104 me, O LORD, H3068 from the hands H3027 of the wicked; H7563 preserve H5341 me from the violent H2555 man; H376 who H834 have purposed H2803 to overthrow H1760 my goings. H6471 [ref]5 The proud H1343 have hid H2934 a snare H6341 for me, and cords; H2256 they have spread H6566 a net H7568 by the wayside; H3027 H4570 they have set H7896 gins H4170 for me. Selah. H5542 [ref]6 I said H559 to the LORD, H3068 You are my God: H410 hear H238 the voice of my supplications, H8469 O LORD. H3068 [ref]7 O GOD H3069 the Lord, H136 the strength H5797 of my salvation, H3444 you have covered H5526 my head H7218 in the day H3117 of battle. H5402 [ref]8 Grant H5414 not, O LORD, H3068 the desires H3970 of the wicked: H7563 further H6329 not his wicked H2162 device; lest they exalt H7311 themselves. Selah. H5542 [ref]9 As for the head H7218 of those that compass H4524 me about, let the mischief H5999 of their own lips H8193 cover H3680 them. [ref]10 Let burning H784 coals H1513 fall H4131 on them: let them be cast H5307 into the fire; H784 into deep H4113 pits, that they rise H6965 not up again. [ref]11 Let not an evil speaker H376 H3956 be established H3559 in the earth: H776 evil H7451 shall hunt H6679 the violent H2555 man H376 to overthrow H4073 him. [ref]12 I know H3045 that the LORD H3068 will maintain H6213 the cause H1779 of the afflicted, H6041 and the right H4941 of the poor. H34 [ref]13 Surely H389 the righteous H6662 shall give thanks H3034 to your name: H8034 the upright H3477 shall dwell H3427 in your presence. H6440 [ref]Matthew chapter 131 The same G1565 day G2250 went G1831 Jesus G2424 out of the house, G3614 and sat G2521 by the sea G2281 side. G3844 [ref]2 And great G4183 multitudes G3793 were gathered G4863 together G4863 to him, so G5620 that he went G1684 into G1519 a ship, G4143 and sat; G2521 and the whole G3956 multitude G3793 stood G2476 on G1909 the shore. G123 [ref]3 And he spoke G2980 many G4183 things to them in parables, G3850 saying, G3004 Behold, G2400 a sower G4687 went G1831 forth G1831 to sow; G4687 [ref]4 And when G1722 G3588 he sowed, G4687 some G3588 G3303 seeds fell G4098 by the way G3598 side, G3844 and the fowls G4071 came G2064 and devoured G2719 them up: [ref]5 Some G3588 G243 fell G4098 on stony G4075 places, where G3699 they had G2192 not much G4183 earth: G1093 and immediately G2112 they sprung G1816 up, because G1223 they had G2192 no G3361 deepness G899 of earth: G1093 [ref]6 And when the sun G2246 was up, they were scorched; G2739 and because G1223 they had G2192 no G3361 root, G4491 they withered G3583 away. [ref]7 And some G3588 G243 fell G4098 among G1909 thorns; G173 and the thorns G173 sprung G305 up, and choked G638 them: [ref]8 But other G243 fell G4098 into G1909 good G2570 ground, G1093 and brought G1325 forth fruit, G2590 some G3588 G3303 an hundred times, G1540 some G3588 G1161 sixty times, G1835 some G3588 G1161 thirty times. G5144 [ref]9 Who G3588 has G2192 ears G3775 to hear, G191 let him hear. G191 [ref]10 And the disciples G3101 came, G4334 and said G2036 to him, Why G1302 speak G2980 you to them in parables? G3850 [ref]11 He answered G611 and said G3004 to them, Because G3754 it is given G1325 to you to know G1097 the mysteries G3466 of the kingdom G932 of heaven, G3772 but to them it is not given. G1325 [ref]12 For whoever G3748 has, G2192 to him shall be given, G1325 and he shall have more abundance: G4052 but whoever G3748 has G2192 not, from him shall be taken G142 away G142 even G2532 that he has. G2192 [ref]13 Therefore G1223 G5124 speak G2980 I to them in parables: G3850 because G3754 they seeing G991 see G991 not; and hearing G191 they hear G191 not, neither G3761 do they understand. G4920 [ref]14 And in them is fulfilled G378 the prophecy G4394 of Esaias, G2268 which G3588 said, G3004 By hearing G189 you shall hear, G191 and shall not understand; G4920 and seeing G991 you shall see, G991 and shall not perceive: G1492 [ref]15 For this G5127 people's G2992 heart G2588 is waxed G3975 gross, G3975 and their ears G3775 are dull G917 of hearing, G191 and their eyes G3788 they have closed; G2576 lest G3379 at G3379 any G3379 time G3379 they should see G1492 with their eyes G3788 and hear G191 with their ears, G3775 and should understand G4920 with their heart, G2588 and should be converted, G1994 and I should heal G2390 them. [ref]16 But blessed G3107 are your G5216 eyes, G3788 for they see: G991 and your G5216 ears, G3775 for they hear. G191 [ref]17 For truly G281 I say G3004 to you, That many G4183 prophets G4396 and righteous G1342 men have desired G1939 to see G1492 those things which G3739 you see, G991 and have not seen G1492 them; and to hear G191 those things which G3739 you hear, G191 and have not heard G191 them. [ref]18 Hear G191 you therefore G3767 the parable G3850 of the sower. G4687 [ref]19 When any G3956 one hears G191 the word G3056 of the kingdom, G932 and understands G4920 it not, then comes G2064 the wicked G4190 one, and catches G726 away G726 that which G3588 was sown G4687 in his heart. G2588 This G3778 is he which G3588 received G4687 seed G4687 by the way G3598 side. G3844 [ref]20 But he that received G4687 the seed G4687 into G1909 stony G4075 places, the same G3778 is he that hears G191 the word, G3056 and immediately G2117 with joy G5479 receives G2983 it; [ref]21 Yet G1161 has G2192 he not root G4491 in himself, G1438 but endures G2076 for a while: G4340 for when tribulation G2347 or G2228 persecution G1375 rises G1096 because G1223 of the word, G3056 by and by he is offended. G4624 [ref]22 He also G1161 that received G4687 seed G4687 among G1519 the thorns G173 is he that hears G191 the word; G3056 and the care G3308 of this G5127 world, G165 and the deceitfulness G539 of riches, G4149 choke G4846 the word, G3056 and he becomes G1096 unfruitful. G175 [ref]23 But he that received G4687 seed G4687 into G1909 the good G2570 ground G1093 is he that hears G191 the word, G3056 and understands G4920 it; which G3739 also G1211 bears G2592 fruit, G2592 and brings G4160 forth, G4160 some G3588 G3033 an hundred times, G1540 some G3588 G1161 sixty, G1835 some G3588 G1161 thirty. G5144 [ref]24 Another G243 parable G3850 put G3908 he forth G3908 to them, saying, G3004 The kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 is likened G3666 to a man G444 which sowed G4687 good G2570 seed G4690 in his field: G68 [ref]25 But while G1722 G3588 men G444 slept, G2518 his enemy G2190 came G2064 and sowed G4687 tares G2215 among G303 G3319 the wheat, G4621 and went G565 his way. [ref]26 But when G3753 the blade G5528 was sprung G985 up, and brought G4160 forth G4160 fruit, G2590 then G5119 appeared G5316 the tares G2215 also. G2532 [ref]27 So G1161 the servants G1401 of the householder G3617 came G4334 and said G3004 to him, Sir, G2962 did not you sow G4687 good G2570 seed G4690 in your field? G68 from where G4159 then G3767 has G2192 it tares? G2215 [ref]28 He said G3004 to them, An enemy G2190 has done G4160 this. G5124 The servants G1401 said G5346 to him, Will G2309 you then G3767 that we go G565 and gather G4816 them up? [ref]29 But he said, G5346 No; G3756 lest G3379 while you gather G4816 up the tares, G2215 you root G1610 up also G260 the wheat G4621 with them. 30 Let G863 both G297 grow G4885 together G4885 until G3360 the harvest: G2326 and in the time G2540 of harvest G2326 I will say G2046 to the reapers, G2327 Gather G4816 you together G4816 first G4412 the tares, G2215 and bind G1210 them in bundles G1197 to burn G2618 them: but gather G4863 the wheat G4621 into G1519 my barn. G596 [ref]31 Another G243 parable G3850 put G3908 he forth G3908 to them, saying, G3004 The kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 is like G3664 to a grain G2848 of mustard G4615 seed, which G3739 a man G444 took, G2983 and sowed G4687 in his field: G68 [ref]32 Which G3739 indeed G3303 is the least G3398 of all G3956 seeds: G4690 but when G3752 it is grown, G837 it is the greatest G3187 among herbs, G3001 and becomes G1096 a tree, G1186 so G5620 that the birds G4071 of the air G3772 come G2064 and lodge G2681 in the branches G2798 thereof. G846 [ref]33 Another G243 parable G3850 spoke G2980 he to them; The kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 is like G3664 to leaven, G2219 which G3739 a woman G1135 took, G2983 and hid G1470 in three G5140 measures G4568 of meal, G224 till G2193 the whole G3650 was leavened. G2220 [ref]34 All G3956 these G5023 things spoke G2980 Jesus G2424 to the multitude G3793 in parables; G3850 and without G5565 a parable G3850 spoke G2980 he not to them: [ref]35 That it might be fulfilled G4137 which G3588 was spoken G4483 by the prophet, G4396 saying, G3004 I will open G455 my mouth G4750 in parables; G3850 I will utter G2044 things which have been kept secret G2928 from the foundation G2602 of the world. G2889 [ref]36 Then G5119 Jesus G2424 sent G863 the multitude G3793 away, G863 and went G2064 into G1519 the house: G3614 and his disciples G3101 came G4334 to him, saying, G3004 Declare G5419 to us the parable G3850 of the tares G2215 of the field. G68 [ref]37 He answered G611 and said G2036 to them, He that sows G4687 the good G2570 seed G4690 is the Son G5207 of man; G444 [ref]38 The field G68 is the world; G2889 the good G2570 seed G4690 are the children G5207 of the kingdom; G932 but the tares G2215 are the children G5207 of the wicked G4190 one; [ref]39 The enemy G2190 that sowed G4687 them is the devil; G1228 the harvest G2326 is the end G4930 of the world; G165 and the reapers G2327 are the angels. G32 [ref]40 As therefore G3767 the tares G2215 are gathered G4816 and burned G2618 in the fire; G4442 so G3779 shall it be in the end G4930 of this G5127 world. G165 41 The Son G5207 of man G444 shall send G649 forth G649 his angels, G32 and they shall gather G4816 out of his kingdom G932 all G3956 things that offend, G4625 and them which do G4160 iniquity; G458 [ref]42 And shall cast G906 them into G1519 a furnace G2575 of fire: G4442 there G1563 shall be wailing G2805 and gnashing G1030 of teeth. G3599 [ref]43 Then G5119 shall the righteous G1342 shine G1584 forth G1584 as the sun G2246 in the kingdom G932 of their Father. G3962 Who G3588 has G2192 ears G3775 to hear, G191 let him hear. G191 [ref]44 Again, G3825 the kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 is like G3664 to treasure G2344 hid G2928 in a field; G68 the which G3739 when a man G444 has found, G2147 he hides, G2928 and for joy G5479 thereof G846 goes G5217 and sells G4453 all G3956 that he has, G2192 and buys G59 that field. G68 [ref]45 Again, G3825 the kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 is like G3664 to a merchant G1713 man, G444 seeking G2212 goodly G2573 pearls: G3135 [ref]46 Who, G3739 when he had found G2147 one G1520 pearl G3135 of great G4186 price, G4186 went G565 and sold G4097 all G3956 that he had, G2192 and bought G59 it. [ref]47 Again, G3825 the kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 is like G3664 to a net, G4522 that was cast G906 into G1519 the sea, G2281 and gathered G4863 of every G3956 kind: G1085 [ref]48 Which, G3739 when G3753 it was full, G4137 they drew G307 to shore, G123 and sat G2523 down, G2523 and gathered G4816 the good G2570 into G1519 vessels, G30 but cast G906 the bad G4550 away. G1854 [ref]49 So G3779 shall it be at G1722 the end G4930 of the world: G165 the angels G32 shall come G1831 forth, G1831 and sever G873 the wicked G4190 from among G3319 the just, G1342 [ref]50 And shall cast G906 them into G1519 the furnace G2575 of fire: G4442 there G1563 shall be wailing G2805 and gnashing G1030 of teeth. G3599 [ref]51 Jesus G2424 said G3004 to them, Have you understood G4920 all G3956 these G5023 things? They say G3004 to him, Yes, G3483 Lord. G2962 [ref]52 Then G1161 said G2036 he to them, Therefore G1223 G5124 every G3956 scribe G1122 which is instructed G3100 to the kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 is like G3664 to a man G444 that is an householder, G3617 which G3748 brings G1544 forth G1544 out of his treasure G2344 things new G2537 and old. G3820 [ref]53 And it came G1096 to pass, that when G3753 Jesus G2424 had finished G5055 these G5025 parables, G3850 he departed G3332 there. G1564 [ref]54 And when he was come G2064 into G1519 his own country, G3968 he taught G1321 them in their synagogue, G4864 so G5620 that they were astonished, G1605 and said, G3004 From where G4159 has this G3778 man this G3778 wisdom, G4678 and these G3588 mighty G1411 works? [ref]55 Is not this G3778 the carpenter's G5045 son? G5207 is not his mother G3384 called G3004 Mary? G3137 and his brothers, G80 James, G2385 and Joses, G2500 and Simon, G4613 and Judas? G2455 [ref]56 And his sisters, G79 are they not all G3956 with us? From where G4159 then G3767 has this G5129 man all G3956 these G5023 things? 57 And they were offended G4624 in him. But Jesus G2424 said G2036 to them, A prophet G4396 is not without G820 honor, G820 save G1508 in his own country, G3968 and in his own house. G3614 [ref]58 And he did G4160 not many G4183 mighty G1411 works there G1563 because G1223 of their unbelief. G570 [ref]
