And David H1732 said H559 to Ahimelech H288 the priest, H3548 The king H4428 has commanded H6680 me a business, H1697 and has said H559 to me, Let no H408 man H376 know H3045 any H3972 thing H1697 of the business H1697 about which H834 I send H7971 you, and what H834 I have commanded H6680 you: and I have appointed H3045 my servants H5288 to such H492 and such H492 a place. H4725

And he changed H8138 his behavior H2940 before H5869 them, and feigned himself mad H1984 in their hands, H3027 and scrabbled H8427 on H5921 the doors H1817 of the gate, H8179 and let his spittle H7388 fall H3381 down H3381 on his beard. H2206

And Achish H397 said, H559 Where H413 have you made a road H6584 to day? H3117 And David H1732 said, H559 Against H5921 the south H5045 of Judah, H3063 and against H5921 the south H5045 of the Jerahmeelites, H3397 and against H413 the south H5045 of the Kenites. H7017

And the king H4428 said H559 to her, What H4100 ails you? And she answered, H559 I am indeed H61 a widow H490 woman, H802 and my husband H376 is dead. H4191

Will you speak H1696 wickedly H5766 for God? H410 and talk H1696 deceitfully H7423 for him?

Will you accept H5375 his person? H6440 will you contend H7378 for God? H410

For your mouth H6310 utters H502 your iniquity, H5771 and you choose H977 the tongue H3956 of the crafty. H6175

The lip H8193 of truth H571 shall be established H3559 for ever: H5703 but a lying H8367 tongue H3956 is but for a moment. H7281

Lying H8367 lips H8193 are abomination H8441 to the LORD: H3068 but they that deal H6213 truly H530 are his delight. H7522

Remove H7368 far H7369 from me vanity H7723 and lies: H3576 give H5414 me neither H408 poverty H7389 nor riches; H6239 feed H2963 me with food H3899 convenient H2706 for me:

These H428 are the things that you shall do; H6213 Speak H1696 you every man H376 the truth H571 to his neighbor; H7453 execute H8199 the judgment H4941 of truth H571 and peace H7965 in your gates: H8179

For if G1487 the truth G225 of God G2316 has more abounded G4052 through G1722 my lie G5582 to his glory; G1391 why G5101 yet G2089 am I also G2504 judged G2919 as a sinner? G268

And not rather, (as we be slanderously G987 reported, G987 and as some G5100 affirm G5346 that we say, G3004 ) Let us do G4160 evil, G2556 that good G18 may come? G2064 whose G3739 damnation G2917 is just. G1738

Why G1352 putting G659 away G659 lying, G5579 speak G2980 every G1520 G1538 man truth G226 with his neighbor: G4139 for we are members G3196 one G240 of another. G240

Lie G5574 not one G240 to another, G240 seeing that you have put G554 off G554 the old G3820 man G444 with his deeds; G4234
