And he said H559 to him, Fear H3372 not: for the hand H3027 of Saul H7586 my father H1 shall not find H4672 you; and you shall be king H4427 over H5921 Israel, H3478 and I shall be next H4932 to you; and that also H1571 Saul H7586 my father H1 knows. H3045
And it shall come H1961 to pass, when H3588 the LORD H3068 shall have done H6213 to my lord H113 according to all H3605 the good H2896 that he has spoken H1696 concerning H5921 you, and shall have appointed H6680 you ruler H5057 over Israel; H3478
Have you not known? H3045 have you not heard, H8085 that the everlasting H5769 God, H430 the LORD, H3068 the Creator H1254 of the ends H7098 of the earth, H776 faints H3286 not, neither H3808 is weary? H3021 there is no H369 searching H2714 of his understanding. H8394
But they that wait H6960 on the LORD H3068 shall renew H2498 their strength; H3581 they shall mount H5927 up with wings H83 as eagles; H5404 they shall run, H7323 and not be weary; H3021 and they shall walk, H3212 and not faint. H3286
I, even I, am he that comforts H5162 you: who H4310 are you, that you should be afraid H3372 of a man H582 that shall die, H4191 and of the son H1121 of man H120 which shall be made H5414 as grass; H2682
Is not this H2088 the word H1697 that we did tell H1696 you in Egypt, H4714 saying, H559 Let us alone, H2308 that we may serve H5647 the Egyptians? H4714 For it had been better H2896 for us to serve H5647 the Egyptians, H4714 than that we should die H4191 in the wilderness. H4057
For thus H3541 said H559 the Lord H136 GOD, H3069 the Holy H6918 One of Israel; H3478 In returning H7729 and rest H5183 shall you be saved; H3467 in quietness H8252 and in confidence H985 shall be your strength: H1369 and you would H14 not.
Have I need H2638 of mad H7696 men, that you have brought H935 this H2088 fellow to play the mad H7696 man in my presence? H5921 shall this H2088 fellow come H935 into H413 my house? H1004
And the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 passed H5674 on by hundreds, H3967 and by thousands: H505 but David H1732 and his men H582 passed H5674 on in the rear guard H314 with Achish. H397
And the princes H8269 of the Philistines H6430 were wroth H7107 with him; and the princes H8269 of the Philistines H6430 said H559 to him, Make this fellow H376 return, H7725 that he may go H7725 again H7725 to his place H4725 which H834 you have appointed H6485 him, and let him not go H3381 down H3381 with us to battle, H4421 lest H3808 in the battle H4421 he be an adversary H7854 to us: for with which H4100 should he reconcile H7521 himself to his master? H113 should it not be with the heads H7218 of these H1992 men? H582
Then Achish H397 called H7121 David, H1732 and said H559 to him, Surely, as the LORD H3068 lives, H2416 you have been upright, H3477 and your going H3318 out and your coming H935 in with me in the host H4264 is good H2896 in my sight: H5869 for I have not found H4672 evil H7451 in you since the day H3117 of your coming H935 to me to this H2088 day: H3117 nevertheless the lords H5633 favor H2896 you not.
And Achish H397 answered H6030 and said H559 to David, H1732 I know H3045 that you are good H2896 in my sight, H5869 as an angel of God: H430 notwithstanding H389 the princes H8269 of the Philistines H6430 have said, H559 He shall not go H5927 up with us to the battle. H4421

So David H1732 and his men H582 came H935 to the city, H5892 and, behold, H2009 it was burned H8313 with fire; H784 and their wives, H802 and their sons, H1121 and their daughters, H1323 were taken captives. H7617
