I SAMUEL

I Samuel 23

1Now it was reported to David, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and looting the threshing floors.”
Joshua 15:44, Joshua 15:44, Nehemiah 3:17, Nehemiah 3:18, Micah 6:15
2So David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go and attack these Philistines?” And the LORD said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines and save Keilah.”
1 Samuel 23:4, 1 Samuel 23:4, 2 Samuel 5:19, 2 Samuel 5:23, 2 Samuel 5:19
3But David’s men said to him, “Look, we are afraid here in Judah; how much more if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
Jeremiah 12:5, 1 Samuel 23:15, 1 Samuel 23:23, 1 Samuel 23:26, Psalms 11:1
4Once again, David inquired of the LORD, and the LORD answered him: “Go at once to Keilah, for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
Judges 7:7, Judges 7:7, Joshua 8:7, Joshua 8:7, Judges 6:39
5Then David and his men went to Keilah, fought against the Philistines, and carried off their livestock, striking them with a mighty blow. So David saved the people of Keilah.
6(Now Abiathar son of Ahimelech had brought the ephod with him when he fled to David at Keilah.)
1 Samuel 22:20, 1 Samuel 22:20, Exodus 28:30, Exodus 28:31, 1 Samuel 14:3
7When Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah, he said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he has trapped himself by entering a town with gates and bars.”
1 Samuel 24:4, 1 Samuel 24:6, 1 Samuel 24:4, 1 Samuel 24:6, Psalms 71:10
8Then Saul summoned all his troops to go to war at Keilah and besiege David and his men.
9When David learned that Saul was plotting evil against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod.”
1 Samuel 30:7, 1 Samuel 30:7, 1 Samuel 23:6, 1 Samuel 23:6, Numbers 27:21
10And David said, “O LORD, God of Israel, Your servant has heard that Saul intends to come to Keilah and destroy the city on my account.
1 Samuel 23:8, 1 Samuel 22:19, Genesis 18:24, Esther 3:6, Proverbs 28:15
11Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O LORD, God of Israel, please tell Your servant.” “He will,” said the LORD.
Psalms 50:15, Matthew 7:7, Matthew 7:8, Jeremiah 33:3, Psalms 50:15
12So David asked, “Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me and my men into the hand of Saul?” “They will,” said the LORD.
Psalms 31:8, 1 Samuel 23:20, Psalms 31:8, 1 Samuel 23:20, Psalms 62:1
13Then David and his men, about six hundred strong, set out and departed from Keilah, moving from place to place. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah, he declined to go forth.
1 Samuel 22:2, 1 Samuel 25:13, 1 Samuel 22:2, 1 Samuel 25:13, 1 Samuel 30:9
14And David stayed in the wilderness strongholds and in the hill country of the Wilderness of Ziph. Day after day Saul searched for him, but God would not deliver David into his hand.
Psalms 54:3, Psalms 54:4, Psalms 54:3, Psalms 54:4, Psalms 32:7
15While David was in Horesh in the Wilderness of Ziph, he saw that Saul had come out to take his life.
16And Saul’s son Jonathan came to David in Horesh and strengthened his hand in God,
Isaiah 35:3, Isaiah 35:4, Isaiah 35:3, Isaiah 35:4, Hebrews 12:12
17saying, “Do not be afraid, for my father Saul will never lay a hand on you. And you will be king over Israel, and I will be your second-in-command. Even my father Saul knows this is true.”
1 Samuel 20:31, 1 Samuel 20:31, 1 Samuel 24:20, 1 Samuel 24:20, Job 5:11
18So the two of them made a covenant before the LORD. And David remained in Horesh, while Jonathan went home.
1 Samuel 18:3, 2 Samuel 21:7, 1 Samuel 20:42, 1 Samuel 18:3, 2 Samuel 21:7
19Then the Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding among us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah south of Jeshimon?
1 Samuel 26:1, 1 Samuel 26:1, 1 Samuel 26:3, 1 Samuel 26:3, Psalms 54:1
20Now, O king, come down whenever your soul desires, and we will be responsible for delivering him into your hand.”
1 Samuel 23:12, 1 Samuel 23:12, 1 Kings 21:11, 1 Kings 21:14, 2 Kings 10:5
21“May you be blessed by the LORD,” replied Saul, “for you have had compassion on me.
1 Samuel 22:8, 1 Samuel 22:8, Psalms 10:3, Isaiah 66:5, Judges 17:2
22Please go and prepare further. Investigate and watch carefully where he goes and who has seen him there, for I am told that he is extremely cunning.
Job 5:13, Job 5:13
23Observe and find out all the places where he hides. Then come back to me with certainty, and I will go with you. If he is in the land, I will search him out among all the clans of Judah.”
Mark 14:10, Mark 14:11, Mark 14:1, Micah 5:2, 1 Kings 18:10
24So they set out and went to Ziph ahead of Saul. Now David and his men were in the Wilderness of Maon in the Arabah south of Jeshimon,
1 Samuel 25:2, Joshua 15:55, 1 Samuel 25:2, Joshua 15:55
25and Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told about it, he went down to the rock and stayed in the Wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard of this, he pursued David there.
1 Samuel 23:28, Judges 15:8, 1 Samuel 23:28, Judges 15:8
26Saul was proceeding along one side of the mountain, and David and his men along the other side. Even though David was hurrying to get away, Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men to capture them.
Psalms 17:9, Psalms 17:9, 2 Samuel 17:21, 2 Samuel 17:22, Revelation 20:9
27Then a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Come quickly, for the Philistines have raided the land!”
2 Kings 19:9, 2 Kings 19:9, Deuteronomy 32:36, Revelation 12:16, Genesis 22:14
28So Saul broke off his pursuit of David and went to meet the Philistines. That is why that place is called Sela-hammahlekoth.
29And David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of En-gedi.
2 Chronicles 20:2, 2 Chronicles 20:2, Joshua 15:62, Joshua 15:62, Ezekiel 47:10
