⁸ Then Abishai said to David, God has given up your hater into your hands today; now let me give him one blow through to the earth with his spear, and there will be no need to give him a second.

⁴ And on the way he came to a place where sheep were kept, where there was a hollow in the rock; and Saul went in for a private purpose. Now David and his men were in the deepest part of the hollow.

²³ And the Lord will give to every man the reward of his righteousness and his faith: because the Lord gave you into my hands today, and I would not put out my hand against the man who has been marked with the holy oil.

¹⁸ And he said to David, You are right and I am wrong: for you have given me back good, but I have given you evil.

¹⁹ And you have made clear to me how good you have been to me today: because, when the Lord gave me up into your hands, you did not put me to death.

¹⁴ And David kept in the waste land, in safe places, waiting in the hill-country in the waste land of Ziph. And Saul was searching for him every day, but God did not give him up into his hands.

⁴ And Judah went up; and the Lord gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands; and they overcame ten thousand of them in Bezek.

⁴⁴ And the Lord gave them peace on every side, as he had said to their fathers: all those who were against them gave way before them, for the Lord gave them all up into their hands.

³⁰ How would it be possible for one to overcome a thousand, and two to send ten thousand in flight, if their rock had not let them go, if the Lord had not given them up?

²² However, the holy Writings have put all things under sin, so that that for which God gave the undertaking, based on faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who have such faith.

²³ But before faith came, we were kept in prison under the law, waiting for the revelation of the faith which was to come.

³² For God has let them all go against his orders, so that he might have mercy on them all.

⁹ What are you designing against the Lord? he will put an end to it: his haters will not come up again a second time.

⁸ And you have not given me into the hand of my hater; you have put my feet in a wide place.
