David Will

And david said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.

• Faith

david said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto david, Go, and the LORD be with thee.

And the Philistine said to david, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.

And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite david even to the wall with it. And david avoided out of his presence twice.

And Saul said to david, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD'S battles. For Saul said, Let not mine hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.

And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to david, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the twain.

Then said Jonathan unto david, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.

Then Jonathan said to david, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.

And david went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.

Then david inquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine hand.

Then said david, will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will deliver thee up.

And the men of david said unto him, Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then david arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.

Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son david.

Then answered david and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.

Then said Abishai to david, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.

Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son david: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.

• Prisoners

And david saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did david, and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines.

And david said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to david, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever.

And david said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.

Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with david, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.

Now then do it: for the LORD hath spoken of david, saying, By the hand of my servant david I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.

And Abner said unto david, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a league with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth. And david sent Abner away; and he went in peace.

• Armies

And david inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto david, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.

• Sarcasm
• Thankfulness

And david said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.

And david said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.

• Condolence
• Friendship
• David

Then said david, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And david sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And david's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.

• Uriah
• Patriotism

And Uriah said unto david, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.

And david said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.

• Servants
• Servant
• Seven

And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of david feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?

Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after david this night:

• Armies

And david sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also.

The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against david: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.

And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So david bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

• Punishment

And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before david my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father david did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.

And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto david my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.

Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto david thy father:

Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to david thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.

Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for david thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

• Government

Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for david my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

• David
• Obedience

Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for david my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:

And unto his son will I give one tribe, that david my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.

And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as david my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for david, and will give Israel unto thee.

And I will for this afflict the seed of david, but not for ever.

For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant david's sake.

Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of david thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.

And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant david's sake.

• Temple

And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the LORD said to david, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

And there fell some of Manasseh to david, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.

• Armies

And david inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.

And david said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And david sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of david came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

• David
• Liberality

And king david said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.

And david said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So david prepared abundantly before his death.

And david said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with david thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.

And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to david and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of david, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

And the key of the house of david will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant david's sake.

Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of david thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.

In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto david; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of david my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.

Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and david my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.

And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant david; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant david a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.

In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of david that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

And I will pour upon the house of david, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

• Government
• David
• Obedience

And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them david to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found david the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of david.

For david, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of david, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in david, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
