King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. And David[H1732] fled[H1272] from Naioth[H4480] [H5121] in Ramah,[H7414] and came[H935] and said[H559] before[H6440] Jonathan,[H3083] What[H4100] have I done?[H6213] what[H4100] is mine iniquity?[H5771] and what[H4100] is my sin[H2403] before[H6440] thy father,[H1] that[H3588] he seeketh[H1245] [H853] my life?[H5315]

2. And he said[H559] unto him, God forbid;[H2486] thou shalt not[H3808] die:[H4191] behold,[H2009] my father[H1] will do[H6213] nothing[H3808] [H1697] either great[H1419] or[H176] small,[H6996] but that he will show[H3808] [H1540] it[H853] me:[H241] and why[H4069] should my father[H1] hide[H5641] [H853] this[H2088] thing[H1697] from[H4480] me? it[H2063] is not[H369] so.

3. And David[H1732] swore[H7650] moreover,[H5750] and said,[H559] Thy father[H1] certainly knoweth[H3045] [H3045] that[H3588] I have found[H4672] grace[H2580] in thine eyes;[H5869] and he saith,[H559] Let not[H408] Jonathan[H3083] know[H3045] this,[H2063] lest[H6435] he be grieved:[H6087] but truly[H199] as the LORD[H3068] liveth,[H2416] and as thy soul[H5315] liveth,[H2416] there[H3588] is but a step[H6587] between[H996] me and death.[H4194]

4. Then said[H559] Jonathan[H3083] unto[H413] David,[H1732] Whatsoever[H4100] thy soul[H5315] desireth,[H559] I will even do[H6213] it for thee.

5. And David[H1732] said[H559] unto[H413] Jonathan,[H3083] Behold,[H2009] tomorrow[H4279] is the new moon,[H2320] and I[H595] should not fail to sit[H3427] [H3427] with[H5973] the king[H4428] at meat:[H398] but let me go,[H7971] that I may hide myself[H5641] in the field[H7704] unto[H5704] the third[H7992] day at even.[H6153]

6. If[H518] thy father[H1] at all miss[H6485] [H6485] me, then say,[H559] David[H1732] earnestly asked[H7592] [H7592] leave of[H4480] me that he might run[H7323] to Bethlehem[H1035] his city:[H5892] for[H3588] there is a yearly[H3117] sacrifice[H2077] there[H8033] for all[H3605] the family.[H4940]

7. If[H518] he say[H559] thus,[H3541] It is well;[H2896] thy servant[H5650] shall have peace:[H7965] but if[H518] he be very wroth,[H2734] [H2734] then be sure[H3045] that[H3588] evil[H7451] is determined[H3615] by[H4480] [H5973] him.

8. Therefore thou shalt deal[H6213] kindly[H2617] with[H5921] thy servant;[H5650] for[H3588] thou hast brought[H935] [H853] thy servant[H5650] into a covenant[H1285] of the LORD[H3068] with[H5973] thee: notwithstanding, if[H518] there be[H3426] in me iniquity,[H5771] slay[H4191] me thyself;[H859] for[H5704] why[H4100] shouldest thou bring[H935] me to thy father?[H1]

9. And Jonathan[H3083] said,[H559] Far be it[H2486] from thee: for[H3588] if[H518] I knew certainly[H3045] [H3045] that[H3588] evil[H7451] were determined[H3615] by[H4480] [H5973] my father[H1] to come[H935] upon[H5921] thee, then would not[H3808] I tell[H5046] it thee?

10. Then said[H559] David[H1732] to[H413] Jonathan,[H3083] Who[H4310] shall tell[H5046] me? or[H176] what[H4100] if thy father[H1] answer[H6030] thee roughly?[H7186]

11. And Jonathan[H3083] said[H559] unto[H413] David,[H1732] Come,[H1980] and let us go out[H3318] into the field.[H7704] And they went out[H3318] both[H8147] of them into the field.[H7704]

12. And Jonathan[H3083] said[H559] unto[H413] David,[H1732] O LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel,[H3478] when[H3588] I have sounded[H2713] [H853] my father[H1] about tomorrow[H4279] any time,[H6256] or the third[H7992] day, and, behold,[H2009] if there be good[H2896] toward[H413] David,[H1732] and I then[H227] send[H7971] not[H3808] unto[H413] thee, and show it thee;[H1540] [H853] [H241]

13. The LORD[H3068] do[H6213] so[H3541] and much[H3541] more[H3254] to Jonathan:[H3083] but if[H3588] it please[H3190] [H413] my father[H1] to do thee[H853] evil,[H7451] then I will show it thee,[H1540] [H853] [H241] and send thee away,[H7971] that thou mayest go[H1980] in peace:[H7965] and the LORD[H3068] be[H1961] with[H5973] thee, as[H834] he hath been[H1961] with[H5973] my father.[H1]

14. And thou shalt not[H3808] only while[H518] yet[H5750] I live[H2416] show[H6213] [H5973] me the kindness[H2617] of the LORD,[H3068] that I die[H4191] not: [H3808]

15. But also thou shalt not[H3808] cut off[H3772] [H853] thy kindness[H2617] from[H4480] [H5973] my house[H1004] forever:[H5704] [H5769] no, not[H3808] when the LORD[H3068] hath cut off[H3772] [H853] the enemies[H341] of David[H1732] every one[H376] from the face[H4480] [H5921] [H6440] of the earth.[H127]

16. So Jonathan[H3083] made[H3772] a covenant with[H5973] the house[H1004] of David,[H1732] saying, Let the LORD[H3068] even require[H1245] it at the hand[H4480] [H3027] of David's[H1732] enemies.[H341]

17. And Jonathan[H3083] caused[H853] David[H1732] to swear[H7650] again,[H3254] because he loved[H160] him: for[H3588] he loved[H157] him as he loved[H160] his own soul.[H5315]

18. Then Jonathan[H3083] said[H559] to David, Tomorrow[H4279] is the new moon:[H2320] and thou shalt be missed,[H6485] because[H3588] thy seat[H4186] will be empty.[H6485]

19. And when thou hast stayed three days,[H8027] then thou shalt go down[H3381] quickly,[H3966] and come[H935] to[H413] the place[H4725] where[H834] thou didst hide thyself[H5641] when[H8033] [H3117] the business[H4639] was in hand, and shalt remain[H3427] by[H681] the stone[H68] Ezel.[H237]

20. And I[H589] will shoot[H3384] three[H7969] arrows[H2671] on the side[H6654] thereof, as though I shot[H7971] at a mark.[H4307]

21. And, behold,[H2009] I will send[H7971] [H853] a lad,[H5288] saying, Go,[H1980] find out[H4672] [H853] the arrows.[H2671] If[H518] I expressly say[H559] [H559] unto the lad,[H5288] Behold,[H2009] the arrows[H2671] are on this side[H4480] [H2008] of thee, take[H3947] them; then come[H935] thou: for[H3588] there is peace[H7965] to thee, and no[H369] hurt;[H1697] as the LORD[H3068] liveth.[H2416]

22. But if[H518] I say[H559] thus[H3541] unto the young man,[H5958] Behold,[H2009] the arrows[H2671] are beyond[H4480] [H1973] thee; go thy way:[H1980] for[H3588] the LORD[H3068] hath sent thee away.[H7971]

23. And as touching the matter[H1697] which[H834] thou[H859] and I[H589] have spoken[H1696] of, behold,[H2009] the LORD[H3068] be between[H996] thee and me forever.[H5704] [H5769]

24. So David[H1732] hid himself[H5641] in the field:[H7704] and when the new moon[H2320] was come,[H1961] the king[H4428] sat him down[H3427] to eat[H398] meat.[H3899]

25. And the king[H4428] sat[H3427] upon[H5921] his seat,[H4186] as at other times,[H6471] [H6471] even upon[H413] a seat[H4186] by the wall:[H7023] and Jonathan[H3083] arose,[H6965] and Abner[H74] sat[H3427] by Saul's[H7586] side,[H4480] [H6654] and David's[H1732] place[H4725] was empty.[H6485]

26. Nevertheless Saul[H7586] spoke[H1696] not[H3808] any thing[H3972] that[H1931] day:[H3117] for[H3588] he thought,[H559] Something hath befallen[H4745] him, he[H1931] is not[H1115] clean;[H2889] surely[H3588] he is not[H3808] clean.[H2889]

27. And it came to pass[H1961] on the morrow,[H4480] [H4283] which was the second[H8145] day of the month,[H2320] that David's[H1732] place[H4725] was empty:[H6485] and Saul[H7586] said[H559] unto[H413] Jonathan[H3083] his son,[H1121] Wherefore[H4069] cometh[H935] not[H3808] the son[H1121] of Jesse[H3448] to[H413] meat,[H3899] neither[H1571] yesterday,[H8543] nor[H1571] today?[H3117]

28. And Jonathan[H3083] answered[H6030] [H853] Saul,[H7586] David[H1732] earnestly asked[H7592] [H7592] leave of[H4480] [H5973] me to go to[H5704] Bethlehem: [H1035]

29. And he said,[H559] Let me go,[H7971] I pray thee;[H4994] for[H3588] our family[H4940] hath a sacrifice[H2077] in the city;[H5892] and my brother,[H251] he[H1931] hath commanded[H6680] me to be there: and now,[H6258] if[H518] I have found[H4672] favor[H2580] in thine eyes,[H5869] let me get away,[H4422] I pray thee,[H4994] and see[H7200] [H853] my brethren.[H251] Therefore[H5921] [H3651] he cometh[H935] not[H3808] unto[H413] the king's[H4428] table.[H7979]

30. Then Saul's[H7586] anger[H639] was kindled[H2734] against Jonathan,[H3083] and he said[H559] unto him, Thou son[H1121] of the perverse[H5753] rebellious[H4780] woman, do not[H3808] I know[H3045] that[H3588] thou[H859] hast chosen[H977] the son[H1121] of Jesse[H3448] to thine own confusion,[H1322] and unto the confusion[H1322] of thy mother's[H517] nakedness?[H6172]

31. For[H3588] as long[H3605] [H3117] as[H834] the son[H1121] of Jesse[H3448] liveth[H2416] upon[H5921] the ground,[H127] thou[H859] shalt not[H3808] be established,[H3559] nor thy kingdom.[H4438] Wherefore now[H6258] send[H7971] and fetch[H3947] [H853] him unto[H413] me, for[H3588] he[H1931] shall surely die.[H1121] [H4194]

32. And Jonathan[H3083] answered[H6030] [H853] Saul[H7586] his father,[H1] and said[H559] unto[H413] him, Wherefore[H4100] shall he be slain?[H4191] what[H4100] hath he done?[H6213]

33. And Saul[H7586] cast[H2904] [H853] a javelin[H2595] at[H5921] him to smite[H5221] him: whereby Jonathan[H3083] knew[H3045] that[H3588] it[H1931] was determined[H3615] of[H4480] [H5973] his father[H1] to slay[H4191] [H853] David.[H1732]

34. So Jonathan[H3083] arose[H6965] from[H4480] [H5973] the table[H7979] in fierce[H2750] anger,[H639] and did eat[H398] no[H3808] meat[H3899] the second[H8145] day[H3117] of the month:[H2320] for[H3588] he was grieved[H6087] for[H413] David,[H1732] because[H3588] his father[H1] had done him shame.[H3637]

35. And it came to pass[H1961] in the morning,[H1242] that Jonathan[H3083] went out[H3318] into the field[H7704] at the time appointed[H4150] with David,[H1732] and a little[H6996] lad[H5288] with[H5973] him.

36. And he said[H559] unto his lad,[H5288] Run,[H7323] find out[H4672] now[H4994] [H853] the arrows[H2671] which[H834] I[H595] shoot.[H3384] And as the lad[H5288] ran,[H7323] he[H1931] shot[H3384] an arrow[H2678] beyond[H5674] him.

37. And when the lad[H5288] was come[H935] to[H5704] the place[H4725] of the arrow[H2678] which[H834] Jonathan[H3083] had shot,[H3384] Jonathan[H3083] cried[H7121] after[H310] the lad,[H5288] and said,[H559] Is not[H3808] the arrow[H2678] beyond[H4480] [H1973] thee?

38. And Jonathan[H3083] cried[H7121] after[H310] the lad,[H5288] Make speed,[H2363] haste,[H4120] stay[H5975] not.[H408] And Jonathan's[H3083] lad[H5288] gathered up[H3950] [H853] the arrows,[H2678] and came[H935] to[H413] his master.[H113]

39. But the lad[H5288] knew[H3045] not[H3808] any thing:[H3972] only[H389] Jonathan[H3083] and David[H1732] knew[H3045] [H853] the matter.[H1697]

40. And Jonathan[H3083] gave[H5414] [H853] his artillery[H3627] unto[H413] his[H834] lad,[H5288] and said[H559] unto him, Go,[H1980] carry[H935] them to the city.[H5892]

41. And as soon as the lad[H5288] was gone,[H935] David[H1732] arose[H6965] out of a place toward[H4480] [H681] the south,[H5045] and fell[H5307] on his face[H639] to the ground,[H776] and bowed himself[H7812] three[H7969] times:[H6471] and they kissed[H5401] one[H376] [H853] another,[H7453] and wept[H1058] one[H376] with[H854] another,[H7453] until[H5704] David[H1732] exceeded.[H1431]

42. And Jonathan[H3083] said[H559] to David,[H1732] Go[H1980] in peace,[H7965] forasmuch as[H834] we have sworn[H7650] both[H8147] of us[H587] in the name[H8034] of the LORD,[H3068] saying,[H559] The LORD[H3068] be[H1961] between[H996] me and thee, and between[H996] my seed[H2233] and thy seed[H2233] forever.[H5704] [H5769] And he arose[H6965] and departed:[H1980] and Jonathan[H3083] went[H935] into the city.[H5892]
