| 15 | And David was afraid because Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the Wilderness of Ziph at Horesh. | David in the hill country. 1Sm.23.15-29 | וַיַּרְא דָוִד כִּי־יָצָא שָׁאוּל לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת־נַפְשֹׁו וְדָוִד בְּמִדְבַּר־זִיף בַּחֹרְשָׁה׃ ס |
| 16 | And Jonathan, Saul's son, rose, and went to David at Horesh, and strengthened his hand in God. | וַיָּקָם יְהֹונָתָן בֶּן־שָׁאוּל וַיֵּלֶךְ אֶל־דָּוִד חֹרְשָׁה וַיְחַזֵּק אֶת־יָדֹו בֵּאלֹהִים׃ | |
| 17 | And he said to him, "Fear not; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you; you shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you; Saul my father also knows this." | וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אַל־תִּירָא כִּי לֹא תִמְצָאֲךָ יַד שָׁאוּל אָבִי וְאַתָּה תִּמְלֹךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָנֹכִי אֶהְיֶה־לְּךָ לְמִשְׁנֶה וְגַם־שָׁאוּל אָבִי יֹדֵעַ כֵּן׃ | |
| 18 | And the two of them made a covenant before Yahweh; David remained at Horesh, and Jonathan went home. | וַיִּכְרְתוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם בְּרִית לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיֵּשֶׁב דָּוִד בַּחֹרְשָׁה וִיהֹונָתָן הָלַךְ לְבֵיתֹו׃ ס | |
| 19 | Then the Ziphites went up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Does not David hide among us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah, which is south of Jeshimon? | וַיַּעֲלוּ זִפִים אֶל־שָׁאוּל הַגִּבְעָתָה לֵאמֹר הֲלֹוא דָוִד מִסְתַּתֵּר עִמָּנוּ בַמְּצָדֹות בַּחֹרְשָׁה בְּגִבְעַת הַחֲכִילָה אֲשֶׁר מִימִין הַיְשִׁימֹון׃ | |
| 20 | Now come down, O king, according to all your heart's desire to come down; and our part shall be to surrender him into the king's hand." | וְעַתָּה לְכָל־אַוַּת נַפְשְׁךָ הַמֶּלֶךְ לָרֶדֶת רֵד וְלָנוּ הַסְגִּירֹו בְּיַד הַמֶּלֶךְ׃ | |
| 21 | And Saul said, "May you be blessed by Yahweh; for you have had compassion on me. | וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל בְּרוּכִים אַתֶּם לַיהוָה כִּי חֲמַלְתֶּם עָלָי׃ | |
| 22 | Go, make yet more sure; know and see the place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for it is told me that he is very cunning. | לְכוּ־נָא הָכִינוּ עֹוד וּדְעוּ וּרְאוּ אֶת־מְקֹומֹו אֲשֶׁר תִּהְיֶה רַגְלֹו מִי רָאָהוּ שָׁם כִּי אָמַר אֵלַי עָרֹום יַעְרִם הוּא׃ | |
| 23 | See therefore, and take note of all the lurking places where he hides, and come back to me with sure information. Then I will go with you; and if he is in the land, I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah." | וּרְאוּ וּדְעוּ מִכֹּל הַמַּחֲבֹאִים אֲשֶׁר יִתְחַבֵּא שָׁם וְשַׁבְתֶּם אֵלַי אֶל־נָכֹון וְהָלַכְתִּי אִתְּכֶם וְהָיָה אִם־יֶשְׁנֹו בָאָרֶץ וְחִפַּשְׂתִּי אֹתֹו בְּכֹל אַלְפֵי יְהוּדָה׃ | |
| 24 | And they arose, and went to Ziph ahead of Saul. Now David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah to the south of Jeshimon. | וַיָּקוּמוּ וַיֵּלְכוּ זִיפָה לִפְנֵי שָׁאוּל וְדָוִד וַאֲנָשָׁיו בְּמִדְבַּר מָעֹון בָּעֲרָבָה אֶל יְמִין הַיְשִׁימֹון׃ | |
| 25 | And Saul and his men went to seek him. And David was told; therefore he went down to the rock which is in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon. | וַיֵּלֶךְ שָׁאוּל וַאֲנָשָׁיו לְבַקֵּשׁ וַיַּגִּדוּ לְדָוִד וַיֵּרֶד הַסֶּלַע וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּמִדְבַּר מָעֹון וַיִּשְׁמַע שָׁאוּל וַיִּרְדֹּף אַחֲרֵי־דָוִד מִדְבַּר מָעֹון׃ | |
| 26 | Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain; and David was making haste to get away from Saul, as Saul and his men were closing in upon David and his men to capture them, | וַיֵּלֶךְ שָׁאוּל מִצַּד הָהָר מִזֶּה וְדָוִד וַאֲנָשָׁיו מִצַּד הָהָר מִזֶּה וַיְהִי דָוִד נֶחְפָּז לָלֶכֶת מִפְּנֵי שָׁאוּל וְשָׁאוּל וַאֲנָשָׁיו עֹטְרִים אֶל־דָּוִד וְאֶל־אֲנָשָׁיו לְתָפְשָׂם׃ | |
| 27 | when a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Make haste and come; for the Philistines have made a raid upon the land." | וּמַלְאָךְ בָּא אֶל־שָׁאוּל לֵאמֹר מַהֲרָה וְלֵכָה כִּי־פָשְׁטוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים עַל־הָאָרֶץ׃ | |
| 28 | So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines; therefore that place was called the Rock of Escape. | וַיָּשָׁב שָׁאוּל מִרְדֹף אַחֲרֵי דָוִד וַיֵּלֶךְ לִקְרַאת פְּלִשְׁתִּים עַל־כֵּן קָרְאוּ לַמָּקֹום הַהוּא סֶלַע הַמַּחְלְקֹות׃ | |
| 29 | And David went up from there, and dwelt in the stongholds of Engedi. | וַיַּעַל דָּוִד מִשָּׁם וַיֵּשֶׁב בִּמְצָדֹות עֵין־גֶּדִי׃ | |
