⁷ I am `for' peace: But when I speak, they are for war. Psalm 121 A Song of Ascents.

⁴ For my love they are my adversaries: But I `give myself unto' prayer.

¹⁴ Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:

¹⁴ For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition,

¹⁵ having abolished in the flesh the enmity, `even' the law of commandments `contained' in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man, `so' making peace;

¹⁶ and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

¹⁷ and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh:

¹⁸ If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men.

⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God.

²⁰ He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: He hath profaned his covenant.

²⁰ For they speak not peace; But they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land.

¹⁴ Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it.

¹⁹ I am of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?

² Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

³ And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.

⁴ David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come of a certainty.

⁹ And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearkenest thou to men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?

¹⁰ Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that Jehovah had delivered thee to-day into my hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee; but `mine eye' spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is Jehovah's anointed.

¹¹ Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against thee, though thou huntest after my life to take it.
