1 Samuel 23

1 Samuel 23:3

The rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just.

He, that is the sure refuge and defence of Israel, hath said of me, to Samuel his prophet, that I, whom my God hath appointed to rule over Israel, should be upright and just in my government.

1 Samuel 23:5

Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant.

Although I have not in every point been answerable to that, which God hath required of me, and foretold concerning me, yet, in his great mercy, he hath made an everlasting covenant with me.

1 Samuel 23:17

Is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives?

Is not this water purchased with the extreme hazard of the blood and life of those men, which went to fetch it?
