CHAPTER 25
1 Samuel 25:1
1 And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented
him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to
the wilderness of Paran. 1 Samuel 25:2
2 And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man
was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats:  and he
was shearing  his sheep  in Carmel. 1 Samuel 25:3
3 Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she
was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man
was churlish  and evil  in his doings;  and he was of the house of Caleb.
1 Samuel 25:4
4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep. 1 Samuel
25:5
5 And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you
up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name: 1 Samuel 25:6
6 And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to
thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast. 1
Samuel 25:7
7 And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were
with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the
while they were in Carmel.
1 Samuel 25:8
8 Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find
favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever
cometh to thine hand  unto thy servants,  and to thy son  David. 1 Samuel 25:9
9 And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those
words in the name of David, and ceased. 1 Samuel 25:10
10 And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the
son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man  from
 his master.
1 Samuel 25:11
11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed
for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be? 1 Samuel
25:12
12 So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him
all those sayings.
1 Samuel 25:13
13 And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded
on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up 
after  David  about four  hundred  men;  and two hundred  abode  by the stuff.
1 Samuel 25:14
14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David
sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master;  and he railed  on
them.
1 Samuel 25:15
15 But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we
any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:
1 Samuel 25:16
16 They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with
them keeping the sheep.
1 Samuel 25:17
17 Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined
against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of
Belial, that a man cannot speak to him. 1 Samuel 25:18
18 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of
wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures  of parched  corn, and an
hundred  clusters of raisins,  and two hundred  cakes  of figs, and laid them
on asses.
1 Samuel 25:19
19 And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you.
But she told not her husband Nabal. 1 Samuel 25:20
20 And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of
the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met
them.
1 Samuel 25:21
21 Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in
the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and
he hath requited me evil for good. 1 Samuel 25:22
22 So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that
pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall. 1 Samuel
25:23
23 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell
before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, 1 Samuel 25:24
24 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity
be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the
words of thine handmaid. 1 Samuel 25:25
25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as
his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine
handmaid saw  not the young men  of my lord,  whom thou didst send. 1 Samuel
25:26
26 Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing
the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging
thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies,  and they that seek  evil 
to my lord,  be as Nabal. 1 Samuel 25:27
27 And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it
even be given unto the young men that follow my lord. 1 Samuel 25:28
28 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will
certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of
the LORD,  and evil  hath not been found  in thee all thy days. 1 Samuel 25:29
29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my
lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls 
of thine enemies,  them shall he sling out,  as out of the middle  of a sling.
1 Samuel 25:30
30 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord
according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have
appointed thee ruler over Israel; 1 Samuel 25:31
31 That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord,
either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged
himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember
thine handmaid.
1 Samuel 25:32
32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent
thee this day to meet me:
1 Samuel 25:33
33 And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day
from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand. 1
Samuel 25:34
34 For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back
from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there
had not been left unto Nabal  by the morning  light  any that pisseth against
the wall.
1 Samuel 25:35
35 So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto
her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and
have accepted thy person.
1 Samuel 25:36
36 And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like
the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very
drunken: wherefore she told  him nothing,  less  or more,  until the morning 
light.
1 Samuel 25:37
37 But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and
his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he
became as a stone.
1 Samuel 25:38
38 And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he
died.
1 Samuel 25:39
39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that
hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept 
his servant  from evil:  for the LORD  hath returned  the wickedness of Nabal 
upon his own head.  And David  sent  and communed  with Abigail, to take  her
to him to wife.
1 Samuel 25:40
40 And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake
unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife. 1
Samuel 25:41
41 And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold,
let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
1 Samuel 25:42
42 And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of
hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David,  and
became his wife.
1 Samuel 25:43
43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his
wives.
1 Samuel 25:44
44 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of
Laish, which was of Gallim.
CHAPTER 26
1 Samuel 26:1
1 And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide
himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon? 1 Samuel 26:2
2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three
thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness  of
Ziph.
1 Samuel 26:3
3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the
way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came  after him
into the wilderness.
1 Samuel 26:4
4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very
deed.
1 Samuel 26:5
5 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David
beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son  of Ner,  the captain  of
his host:  and Saul  lay  in the trench,  and the people  pitched  round about 
him.
1 Samuel 26:6
6 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son
of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the
camp?  And Abishai  said,  I will go down  with thee. 1 Samuel 26:7
7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay
sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: 
but Abner  and the people  lay  round about  him. 1 Samuel 26:8
8 Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand
this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to
the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time. 1 Samuel 26:9
9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his
hand against the LORD'S anointed, and be guiltless? 1 Samuel 26:10
10 David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his
day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish. 1 Samuel
26:11
11 The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the LORD'S
anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and
the cruse of water, and let us go. 1 Samuel 26:12
12 So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they
gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were
all asleep;  because a deep sleep  from the LORD  was fallen  upon them.
1 Samuel 26:13
13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar
off; a great space being between them: 1 Samuel 26:14
14 And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying,
Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that
criest  to the king?
1 Samuel 26:15
15 And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee
in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came
one of the people in to destroy  the king  thy lord. 1 Samuel 26:16
16 This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the LORD liveth, ye are
worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD'S anointed. And
now see  where the king's  spear  is, and the cruse  of water  that was at his
bolster.
1 Samuel 26:17
17 And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And
David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king. 1 Samuel 26:18
18 And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what
have I done? or what evil is in mine hand? 1 Samuel 26:19
19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his
servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an
offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before  the LORD; 
for they have driven  me out this day  from abiding  in the inheritance  of the
LORD,  saying,  Go,  serve  other  gods. 1 Samuel 26:20
20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the
LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt
a partridge  in the mountains. 1 Samuel 26:21
21 Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do
thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have
played the fool, and have erred  exceedingly. 1 Samuel 26:22
22 And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the
young men come over and fetch it.
1 Samuel 26:23
23 The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness: for the
LORD delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine
hand against the LORD'S  anointed. 1 Samuel 26:24
24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my
life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all
tribulation.
1 Samuel 26:25
25 Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do
great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul 
returned  to his place.
CHAPTER 27
1 Samuel 27:1
1 And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul:
there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land
 of the Philistines;  and Saul  shall despair  of me, to seek  me any more in
any coast  of Israel:  so shall I escape  out of his hand. 1 Samuel 27:2
2 And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with
him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath. 1 Samuel 27:3
3 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his
household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail
 the Carmelitess,  Nabal's  wife. 1 Samuel 27:4
4 And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again
for him.
1 Samuel 27:5
5 And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them
give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why
should thy servant  dwell  in the royal  city  with thee? 1 Samuel 27:6
6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the
kings of Judah unto this day.
1 Samuel 27:7
7 And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full
year and four months.
1 Samuel 27:8
8 And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites,
and the Amalekites: for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land,
as thou goest to Shur,  even unto the land  of Egypt. 1 Samuel 27:9
9 And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away
the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and
returned,  and came  to Achish. 1 Samuel 27:10
10 And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day? And David said, Against
the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the
south of the Kenites.
1 Samuel 27:11
11 And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath,
saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his
manner  all the while  he dwelleth  in the country  of the Philistines. 1
Samuel 27:12
12 And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to
abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever. CHAPTER 28
1 Samuel 28:1
1 And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies
together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know
thou assuredly,  that thou shalt go out  with me to battle, thou and thy men.
1 Samuel 28:2
2 And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And
Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever.
1 Samuel 28:3
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in
Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar
spirits, and the wizards, out of the land. 1 Samuel 28:4
4 And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in
Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa. 1
Samuel 28:5
5 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart
greatly trembled.
1 Samuel 28:6
6 And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by
dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. 1 Samuel 28:7
7 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar
spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him,
Behold, there is a woman that hath  a familiar spirit  at Endor. 1 Samuel 28:8
8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two
men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee,
divine  unto me by the familiar spirit,  and bring me him up,  whom I shall
name  unto thee.
1 Samuel 28:9
9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he
hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the
land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
1 Samuel 28:10
10 And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall
no punishment happen to thee for this thing. 1 Samuel 28:11
11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me
up Samuel.
1 Samuel 28:12
12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman
spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul. 1 Samuel
28:13
13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the
woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth. 1 Samuel 28:14
14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh
up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and
he stooped  with his face  to the ground,  and bowed  himself. 1 Samuel 28:15
15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And
Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me,
and God is departed  from me, and answereth  me no more, neither by prophets, 
nor by dreams:  therefore I have called  thee, that thou mayest make known 
unto me what I shall do. 1 Samuel 28:16
16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is
departed from thee, and is become thine enemy? 1 Samuel 28:17
17 And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the
kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David: 1
Samuel 28:18
18 Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce
wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day.
1 Samuel 28:19
19 Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the
Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also
shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines. 1 Samuel
28:20
20 Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid,
because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had
eaten no bread  all the day,  nor all the night. 1 Samuel 28:21
21 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said
unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life
in my hand,  and have hearkened  unto thy words  which thou spakest unto me.
1 Samuel 28:22
22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine
handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou
mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way. 1 Samuel 28:23
23 But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with
the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from
the earth, and sat upon the bed. 1 Samuel 28:24
24 And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it,
and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof: 1 Samuel
28:25
25 And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat.
Then they rose up, and went away that night.
