And it came H1961 to pass, after the year H8141 was expired, H8666 at the time H6256 when kings H4428 go H3318 forth H3318 to battle, that David H1732 sent H7971 Joab, H3097 and his servants H5650 with him, and all H3605 Israel; H3478 and they destroyed H7843 the children H1121 of Ammon, H5983 and besieged H6696 Rabbah. H7237 But David H1732 tarried H3427 still at Jerusalem. H3389

And David H1732 went H3318 out wherever H3605 H834 Saul H7586 sent H7971 him, and behaved H7919 himself wisely: H7919 and Saul H7586 set H7760 him over H5921 the men H582 of war, H4421 and he was accepted H3190 in the sight H5869 of all H3605 the people, H5971 and also H1571 in the sight H5869 of Saul's H7586 servants. H5650

I have more understanding H7919 than all H3605 my teachers: H3925 for your testimonies H5715 are my meditation. H7881

And in all H3605 matters H1697 of wisdom H2451 and understanding, H998 that the king H4428 inquired H1245 of them, he found H4672 them ten H6235 times better H3027 than H5921 all H3605 the magicians H2748 and astrologers H825 that were in all H3605 his realm. H4438

For I will give G1325 you a mouth G4750 and wisdom, G4678 which G3739 all G3956 your G5213 adversaries G480 shall not be able G1410 to gainsay G471 nor G3761 resist. G436

See G991 then G3767 that you walk G4043 circumspectly, G199 not as fools, G781 but as wise, G4680

Why H3651 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 said, H5002 I said H559 indeed that your house, H1004 and the house H1004 of your father, H1 should walk H1980 before H6440 me for ever: H5769 but now H6258 the LORD H3068 said, H5002 Be it far H2486 from me; for them that honor H3513 me I will honor, H3513 and they that despise H959 me shall be lightly H7043 esteemed. H7043

Then said H559 Saul, H7586 I have sinned: H2398 return, H7725 my son H1121 David: H1732 for I will no H3808 more H5750 do you harm, H7489 because H8478 H834 my soul H5315 was precious H3365 in your eyes H5869 this H2088 day: H3117 behold, H2009 I have played the fool, H5528 and have erred H7683 exceedingly. H7235 H3966

And he sent H7971 again H7725 a captain H8269 of the third H7992 fifty H2572 with his fifty. H2572 And the third H7992 captain H8269 of fifty H2572 went H5927 up, and came H935 and fell H3766 on H5921 his knees H1290 before H5048 Elijah, H452 and sought H2603 him, and said H1696 to him, O man H376 of God, H430 I pray H4994 you, let my life, H5315 and the life H5315 of these H428 fifty H2572 your servants, H5650 be precious H3365 in your sight. H5869

Precious H3368 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 is the death H4194 of his saints. H2623

To whom G3739 coming, G4334 as to a living G2198 stone, G3037 disallowed G593 indeed G3303 of men, G444 but chosen G1588 of God, G2316 and precious, G1784

To you therefore G3767 which G3588 believe G4100 he is precious: G5092 but to them which be disobedient, G544 the stone G3037 which the builders G3618 disallowed, G593 the same G3778 is made G1096 the head G2776 of the corner, G1137
