English Standard Version (897 Treffer)

Rut 4,17 And the women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi.” They named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David. Rut 4,22 Obed fathered Jesse, and Jesse fathered David. 1Sam 16,13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up and went to Ramah. 1Sam 16,19 Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.” 1Sam 16,20 And Jesse took a donkey laden with bread and a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them by David his son to Saul. 1Sam 16,21 And David came to Saul and entered his service. And Saul loved him greatly, and he became his armor-bearer. 1Sam 16,22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Let David remain in my service, for he has found favor in my sight.” 1Sam 16,23 And whenever the harmful spirit from God was upon Saul, David took the lyre and played it with his hand. So Saul was refreshed and was well, and the harmful spirit departed from him. 1Sam 17,12 Now David was the son of an Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, named Jesse, who had eight sons. In the days of Saul the man was already old and advanced in years.* 1Sam 17,14 David was the youngest. The three eldest followed Saul, 1Sam 17,15 but David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem. 1Sam 17,17 And Jesse said to David his son, “Take for your brothers an ephah* of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to your brothers. 1Sam 17,20 And David rose early in the morning and left the sheep with a keeper and took the provisions and went, as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the encampment as the host was going out to the battle line, shouting the war cry. 1Sam 17,22 And David left the things in charge of the keeper of the baggage and ran to the ranks and went and greeted his brothers. 1Sam 17,23 As he talked with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came up out of the ranks of the Philistines and spoke the same words as before. And David heard him. 1Sam 17,26 And David said to the men who stood by him, “What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?” 1Sam 17,28 Now Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men. And Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, “Why have you come down? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your presumption and the evil of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle.” 1Sam 17,29 And David said, “What have I done now? Was it not but a word?” 1Sam 17,31 When the words that David spoke were heard, they repeated them before Saul, and he sent for him. 1Sam 17,32 And David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.” 1Sam 17,33 And Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, for you are but a youth, and he has been a man of war from his youth.” 1Sam 17,34 But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep sheep for his father. And when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb from the flock, 1Sam 17,37 And David said, “The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and the LORD be with you!” 1Sam 17,38 Then Saul clothed David with his armor. He put a helmet of bronze on his head and clothed him with a coat of mail, 1Sam 17,39 and David strapped his sword over his armor. And he tried in vain to go, for he had not tested them. Then David said to Saul, “I cannot go with these, for I have not tested them.” So David put them off. 1Sam 17,41 And the Philistine moved forward and came near to David, with his shield-bearer in front of him. 1Sam 17,42 And when the Philistine looked and saw David, he disdained him, for he was but a youth, ruddy and handsome in appearance. 1Sam 17,43 And the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 1Sam 17,44 The Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and to the beasts of the field.” 1Sam 17,45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 1Sam 17,48 When the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine. 1Sam 17,49 And David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone and slung it and struck the Philistine on his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground. 1Sam 17,50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. There was no sword in the hand of David. 1Sam 17,51 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled. 1Sam 17,54 And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent. 1Sam 17,55 As soon as Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this youth?” And Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I do not know.” 1Sam 17,57 And as soon as David returned from the striking down of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand. 1Sam 17,58 And Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, young man?” And David answered, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.” 1Sam 18,1 David and Jonathan’s Friendship As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 1Sam 18,3 Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul. 1Sam 18,4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt. 1Sam 18,5 And David went out and was successful wherever Saul sent him, so that Saul set him over the men of war. And this was good in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul’s servants. 1Sam 18,6 Saul’s Jealousy of David As they were coming home, when David returned from striking down the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with songs of joy, and with musical instruments.* 1Sam 18,7 And the women sang to one another as they celebrated, “Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his ten thousands.” 1Sam 18,8 And Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands, and what more can he have but the kingdom?” 1Sam 18,9 And Saul eyed David from that day on. 1Sam 18,10 The next day a harmful spirit from God rushed upon Saul, and he raved within his house while David was playing the lyre, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand. 1Sam 18,11 And Saul hurled the spear, for he thought, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David evaded him twice. 1Sam 18,12 Saul was afraid of David because the LORD was with him but had departed from Saul. 1Sam 18,14 And David had success in all his undertakings, for the LORD was with him. 1Sam 18,16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he went out and came in before them. 1Sam 18,17 David Marries Michal Then Saul said to David, “Here is my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you for a wife. Only be valiant for me and fight the LORD’s battles.” For Saul thought, “Let not my hand be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.” 1Sam 18,18 And David said to Saul, “Who am I, and who are my relatives, my father’s clan in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?” 1Sam 18,19 But at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife. 1Sam 18,20 Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. 1Sam 18,21 Saul thought, “Let me give her to him, that she may be a snare for him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” Therefore Saul said to David a second time,* “You shall now be my son-in-law.” 1Sam 18,22 And Saul commanded his servants, “Speak to David in private and say, ‘Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now then become the king’s son-in-law.’” 1Sam 18,23 And Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, “Does it seem to you a little thing to become the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor man and have no reputation?” 1Sam 18,24 And the servants of Saul told him, “Thus and so did David speak.” 1Sam 18,25 Then Saul said, “Thus shall you say to David, ‘The king desires no bride-price except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, that he may be avenged of the king’s enemies.’” Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. 1Sam 18,26 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. Before the time had expired, 1Sam 18,27 David arose and went, along with his men, and killed two hundred of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins, which were given in full number to the king, that he might become the king’s son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for a wife. 1Sam 18,28 But when Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him, 1Sam 18,29 Saul was even more afraid of David. So Saul was David’s enemy continually. 1Sam 18,30 Then the commanders of the Philistines came out to battle, and as often as they came out David had more success than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly esteemed. 1Sam 19,1 Saul Tries to Kill David And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted much in David. 1Sam 19,2 And Jonathan told David, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Therefore be on your guard in the morning. Stay in a secret place and hide yourself. 1Sam 19,4 And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king sin against his servant David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have brought good to you. 1Sam 19,5 For he took his life in his hand and he struck down the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood by killing David without cause?” 1Sam 19,7 And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan reported to him all these things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before. 1Sam 19,8 And there was war again. And David went out and fought with the Philistines and struck them with a great blow, so that they fled before him. 1Sam 19,9 Then a harmful spirit from the LORD came upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand. And David was playing the lyre. 1Sam 19,10 And Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he eluded Saul, so that he struck the spear into the wall. And David fled and escaped that night. 1Sam 19,11 Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him, that he might kill him in the morning. But Michal, David’s wife, told him, “If you do not escape with your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.” 1Sam 19,12 So Michal let David down through the window, and he fled away and escaped. 1Sam 19,14 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.” 1Sam 19,15 Then Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.” 1Sam 19,18 Now David fled and escaped, and he came to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and lived at Naioth. 1Sam 19,19 And it was told Saul, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.” 1Sam 19,20 Then Saul sent messengers to take David, and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied. 1Sam 19,22 Then he himself went to Ramah and came to the great well that is in Secu. And he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” And one said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.” 1Sam 20,1 Jonathan Warns David Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah and came and said before Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my guilt? And what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?” 1Sam 20,3 But David vowed again, saying, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he thinks, ‘Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.’ But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.” 1Sam 20,4 Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you say, I will do for you.” 1Sam 20,5 David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit at table with the king. But let me go, that I may hide myself in the field till the third day at evening. 1Sam 20,6 If your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethlehem his city, for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the clan.’ 1Sam 20,10 Then David said to Jonathan, “Who will tell me if your father answers you roughly?” 1Sam 20,11 And Jonathan said to David, “Come, let us go out into the field.” So they both went out into the field. 1Sam 20,12 And Jonathan said to David, “The LORD, the God of Israel, be witness!* When I have sounded out my father, about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if he is well disposed toward David, shall I not then send and disclose it to you? 1Sam 20,15 and do not cut off* your steadfast love from my house forever, when the LORD cuts off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.” 1Sam 20,16 And Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “May* the LORD take vengeance on David’s enemies.” 1Sam 20,17 And Jonathan made David swear again by his love for him, for he loved him as he loved his own soul. 1Sam 20,24 So David hid himself in the field. And when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food. 1Sam 20,25 The king sat on his seat, as at other times, on the seat by the wall. Jonathan sat opposite,* and Abner sat by Saul’s side, but David’s place was empty. 1Sam 20,27 But on the second day, the day after the new moon, David’s place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why has not the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?” 1Sam 20,28 Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem. 1Sam 20,33 But Saul hurled his spear at him to strike him. So Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death. 1Sam 20,34 And Jonathan rose from the table in fierce anger and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had disgraced him. 1Sam 20,35 In the morning Jonathan went out into the field to the appointment with David, and with him a little boy. 1Sam 20,39 But the boy knew nothing. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
