And [G2532] it was reported [to the [G3588] Saul that [G3754] David went safe [G1295] from [G1537] Keilah, and [G2532] he spared the [G3588] to come forth [G1831].

17: And [G2532] he said [G2036] to [G4314] him [G1473], Do not [G3361] fear [G5399]! for [G3754] in no way will find you [G1473][G2147] the [G3588] hand [G5495] of Saul the [G3588] father [G3962] of me [G1473]. And [G2532] you [G1473] will reign over [G1909] Israel, and [G2532] I [G1473] will be to you [G1473] for [G1519] second [G1208]. And [G2532] Saul the [G3588] father [G3962] of me [G1473] knows [G1492] so [G3779].

19: And [G2532] ascended up the [G3588] Ziphites] to [G4314] Saul, unto [G1909] the [G3588] hill [G1015], saying [G3004], Look [is] not [G3756][G2400] David hid [G2928] by [G3844] us [G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] narrows [G4728], in [G1722] the [G3588] New [G2537], in [G1722] the [G3588] hill [G1015] of the [G3588] Hachilah, of the [place] the [G3588] at [G1537] right [G1188] of the [G3588] Jeshimon?
20: And [G2532] now [G3568], every desire [G3956] of the [G3588] [G4314] the [G3588] soul [G5590] of the [G3588] king , into [G1519] descent [G2600] let him go down [G2597] to [G4314] us [G1473]! They are being uncovered into [G1519] the [G3588] hands [G5495] of the [G3588] king .
21: And [G2532] said [G2036] to them [G1473] Saul], Being blessed [G2127] [are] you [G1473] to the [G3588] Boss '[G2962], for [G3754] you toiled on account of [G4012] me [G1473].
22: You should go [G4198] indeed [G1211] and [G2532] prepare [G2090] yet [G2089], and [G2532] know [G1097] and [G2532] see [G1492] the [G3588] his place [G5117][G1473] where [G3739] is the [G3588] his foot [G4228][G1473], quickly [G1722][G5034], there [in that place [G1563] of which [G3739] you said [G2036], lest at any time [G3379] he should trick [you !
23: And [G2532] look [G1492] and [G2532] know [G1097] of [G1537] all [G3956] the [G3588] places [G5117] where [G3699] he [G1473] hides [G2928] there [G1563]! And [G2532] return [G1994] to [G4314] me [G1473] at [G1519] ready [G2092]! and [G2532] I will go [G4198] with [G3326] you [G1473]. And [G2532] it will be if [G1487] he is in [G1909] the [G3588] land '[G1093], that [G2532] I will search [G1830] him out [G1473] among [G1722] all [G3956] thousands [G5505] of Judah.
24: And [G2532] rose up the [G3588] Ziphites], and [G2532] went [G4198] before [G1715] Saul. And [G2532] David and [G2532] the [G3588] his men [G1473] [were] in [G1722] the [G3588] wilderness [G2048] of the [G3588] Maon, to [G2596] west [G2073] at [G1537] right [G1188] of the [G3588] Jeshimon.

And [G2532] he went down [G2597] into [G1519] the [G3588] rock [G4073], the [G3588] [one] in [G1722] the [G3588] wilderness [G2048] of Maon. And [G2532] Saul heard , and [G2532] he pursued [G2614] unto [G1519] the [G3588] wilderness [G2048] of the [G3588] Maon after [G3694] David.

And [G2532] David was sheltering to go [G4198] from face [G4383] of Saul. And [G2532] Saul and [G2532] the [G3588] his men [G1473] camped by [G1909] David and [G2532] the [G3588] his men [G1473] the [G3588] to seize [G4815] them [G1473].
