Never! As surely as the LORD lives, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, for with God’s help he has accomplished this today.” So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.1 Samuel 14:46 · שָׁא֔וּלThen Saul gave up his pursuit of the Philistines, and the Philistines returned to their own land.1 Samuel 14:47 · וְשָׁא֛וּלAfter Saul had assumed the kingship over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side—the Moabites, the Ammonites, the Edomites, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he routed them.1 Samuel 14:49 · שָׁא֔וּלNow the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua. His two daughters were named Merab (his firstborn) and Michal (his younger daughter).1 Samuel 14:50 · שָׁא֔וּל · שָׁאֽוּל׃His wife’s name was Ahinoam daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the commander of his army was Abner, the son of Saul’s uncle Ner.1 Samuel 14:51 · שָׁא֛וּלSaul’s father Kish and Abner’s father Ner were sons of Abiel.1 Samuel 14:52 · שָׁא֑וּל · שָׁא֜וּלAnd the war with the Philistines was fierce for all the days of Saul. So whenever he noticed any strong or brave man, Saul would enlist him.1 Samuel 15:1 · שָׁא֔וּלThen Samuel said to Saul, “The LORD sent me to anoint you king over His people Israel. Now therefore, listen to the words of the LORD.1 Samuel 15:4 · שָׁאוּל֙So Saul summoned the troops and numbered them at Telaim—200,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 men of Judah.1 Samuel 15:5 · שָׁא֖וּלSaul came to the city of Amalek and lay in wait in the valley.1 Samuel 15:6 · שָׁא֣וּלAnd he warned the Kenites, “Since you showed kindness to all the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt, go on and get away from the Amalekites. Otherwise I will sweep you away with them.” So the Kenites moved away from the Amalekites.1 Samuel 15:7 · שָׁא֖וּלThen Saul struck down the Amalekites all the way from Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt.1 Samuel 15:9 · שָׁא֨וּלSaul and his troops spared Agag, along with the best of the sheep and cattle, the fat calves and lambs, and the best of everything else. They were unwilling to devote them to destruction, but they devoted to destruction all that was despised and worthless.1 Samuel 15:11 · שָׁאוּל֙“I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned away from following Me and has not carried out My instructions.” And Samuel was distressed and cried out to the LORD all that night.1 Samuel 15:12 · שָׁא֖וּל · שָׁא֤וּלEarly in the morning Samuel got up to confront Saul, but he was told, “Saul has gone to Carmel, and behold, he has set up a monument for himself and has turned and gone down to Gilgal.”1 Samuel 15:13 · שָׁא֑וּל · שָׁא֗וּלWhen Samuel reached him, Saul said to him, “May the LORD bless you. I have carried out the LORD’s instructions.”1 Samuel 15:15 · שָׁא֜וּלSaul answered, “The troops brought them from the Amalekites; they spared the best sheep and cattle to sacrifice to the LORD your God, but the rest we devoted to destruction.”1 Samuel 15:16 · שָׁא֔וּל“Stop!” exclaimed Samuel. “Let me tell you what the LORD said to me last night.” “Tell me,” Saul replied.1 Samuel 15:20 · שָׁא֜וּל“But I did obey the LORD,” Saul replied. “I went on the mission that the LORD gave me. I brought back Agag king of Amalek and devoted the Amalekites to destruction.1 Samuel 15:24 · שָׁא֤וּלThen Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned; I have transgressed the LORD’s commandment and your instructions, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.1 Samuel 15:26 · שָׁא֔וּל“I will not return with you,” Samuel replied. “For you have rejected the word of the LORD, and He has rejected you as king over Israel.”1 Samuel 15:31 · שָׁא֑וּל · שָׁא֖וּלSo Samuel went back with Saul, and Saul worshiped the LORD.1 Samuel 15:34 · וְשָׁא֛וּל · שָׁאֽוּל׃Then Samuel went to Ramah, but Saul went up to his home in Gibeah of Saul.1 Samuel 15:35 · שָׁאוּל֙ · שָׁא֑וּל · שָׁא֖וּלAnd to the day of his death, Samuel never again visited Saul. Samuel mourned for Saul, and the LORD regretted that He had made Saul king over Israel.1 Samuel 16:1 · שָׁא֔וּלNow the LORD said to Samuel, “How long are you going to mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem, for I have selected from his sons a king for Myself.”1 Samuel 16:2 · שָׁא֖וּל“How can I go?” Samuel asked. “Saul will hear of it and kill me!” The LORD answered, “Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.’1 Samuel 16:14 · שָׁא֑וּלNow the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and a spirit of distress from the LORD began to torment him.1 Samuel 16:15 · שָׁא֖וּלSaul’s servants said to him, “Surely a spirit of distress from God is tormenting you.1 Samuel 16:17 · שָׁא֖וּלAnd Saul commanded his servants, “Find me someone who plays well, and bring him to me.”1 Samuel 16:19 · שָׁא֛וּלSo Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.”1 Samuel 16:20 · שָׁאֽוּל׃And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine, and one young goat and sent them to Saul with his son David.1 Samuel 16:21 · שָׁא֔וּלWhen David came to Saul and entered his service, Saul loved him very much, and David became his armor-bearer.1 Samuel 16:22 · שָׁא֔וּלThen Saul sent word to Jesse, saying, “Let David remain in my service, for I am pleased with him.”1 Samuel 16:23 · שָׁא֔וּל · לְשָׁאוּל֙And whenever the spirit from God came upon Saul, David would pick up his harp and play. Then Saul would find relief and feel better, and the spirit of distress would depart from him.1 Samuel 17:2 · וְשָׁא֤וּלSaul and the men of Israel assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah, arraying themselves for battle against the Philistines.1 Samuel 17:8 · לְשָׁא֔וּלAnd Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and array yourselves for battle?

The three oldest had followed Saul,1 Samuel 17:15 · שָׁא֑וּלbut David went back and forth from Saul to tend his father’s sheep in Bethlehem.1 Samuel 17:19 · וְשָׁא֤וּלThey are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines.”1 Samuel 17:31 · שָׁא֖וּלNow David’s words were overheard and reported to Saul, who sent for him.1 Samuel 17:32 · שָׁא֔וּלAnd David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail on account of this Philistine. Your servant will go and fight him!”1 Samuel 17:33 · שָׁא֜וּלBut Saul replied, “You cannot go out against this Philistine to fight him. You are just a boy, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”1 Samuel 17:34 · שָׁא֔וּלDavid replied, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep, and whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock,1 Samuel 17:37 · שָׁא֤וּלDavid added, “The LORD, who delivered me from the claws of the lion and the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” “Go,” said Saul, “and may the LORD be with you.”1 Samuel 17:38 · שָׁא֤וּלThen Saul clothed David in his own tunic, put a bronze helmet on his head, and dressed him in armor.1 Samuel 17:39 · שָׁא֗וּלDavid strapped his sword over the tunic and tried to walk, but he was not accustomed to them. “I cannot walk in these,” David said to Saul. “I am not accustomed to them.” So David took them off.1 Samuel 17:55 · שָׁא֜וּלAs Saul had watched David going out to confront the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this young man?” “As surely as you live, O king,” Abner replied, “I do not know.”1 Samuel 17:57 · שָׁא֑וּלSo when David returned from killing the Philistine, still holding his head in his hand, Abner took him and brought him before Saul.1 Samuel 17:58 · שָׁא֔וּל“Whose son are you, young man?” asked Saul. “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem,” David replied.1 Samuel 18:1 · שָׁא֔וּלAfter David had finished speaking with Saul, the souls of Jonathan and David were knit together, and Jonathan loved him as himself.1 Samuel 18:2 · שָׁא֖וּלAnd from that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return to his father’s house.1 Samuel 18:5 · שָׁאוּל֙ · שָׁא֔וּל · שָׁאֽוּל׃ פSo David marched out and prospered in everything Saul sent him to do, and Saul set him over the men of war.

What more can he have but the kingdom?”1 Samuel 18:9 · שָׁא֖וּלAnd from that day forward Saul kept a jealous eye on David.1 Samuel 18:10 · שָׁאוּל֙ · שָׁאֽוּל׃The next day a spirit of distress sent from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house while David played the harp as usual. Now Saul was holding a spear,1 Samuel 18:11 · שָׁאוּל֙and he hurled it, thinking, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.1 Samuel 18:12 · שָׁא֖וּל · שָׁא֖וּלSo Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with David but had departed from Saul.1 Samuel 18:13 · שָׁאוּל֙Therefore Saul sent David away and gave him command of a thousand men.

I will give her to you in marriage. Only be valiant for me and fight the LORD’s battles.” But Saul was thinking, “I need not raise my hand against him; let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”1 Samuel 18:18 · שָׁא֗וּלAnd David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my family or my father’s clan in Israel, that I should become the son-in-law of the king?”1 Samuel 18:19 · שָׁא֖וּלSo when it was time to give Saul’s daughter Merab to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.1 Samuel 18:20 · שָׁא֖וּל · לְשָׁא֔וּלNow Saul’s daughter Michal loved David, and when this was reported to Saul, it pleased him.1 Samuel 18:21 · שָׁא֜וּל · שָׁאוּל֙“I will give her to David,” Saul thought, “so that she may be a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “For a second time now you can be my son-in-law.”1 Samuel 18:22 · שָׁא֜וּלThen Saul ordered his servants, “Speak to David privately and tell him, ‘Behold, the king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you.
