“And Saul said, Blessed ye of the LORD; for ye have compassion on me.”
Context
18And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.
19Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which on the south of Jeshimon?
20Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part to deliver him into the king’s hand.
21And Saul said, Blessed ye of the LORD; for ye have compassion on me.
22Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is, who hath seen him there: for it is told me he dealeth very subtilly.
23See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.
24And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.
