(1 Samuel 24:2-7) And Saul proceeded to take three thousand chosen men out of all Israel and to go looking for David and his men upon the bare rocks of the mountain goats. At length he came to the stone sheepfolds along the road, where a cave was. So Saul came in to ease nature, while David and his men were in the parts of the cave farthest back, sitting down. And David’s men began to say to him: “Here is the day on which Jehovah does say to you, ‘Look! I am giving your enemy into your hand, and you must do to him just as it may seem good in your eyes.’” So David rose up and quietly cut off the skirt of the sleeveless coat that belonged to Saul. But it came about afterward that David’s heart kept striking him for the reason that he had cut off the skirt [of the sleeveless coat] that belonged to Saul. Hence he said to his men: “It is unthinkable, on my part, from Jehovah’s standpoint, that I should do this thing to my lord, the anointed of Jehovah, by thrusting out my hand against him, for he is the anointed of Jehovah.” Accordingly David dispersed his men with these words, and he did not allow them to rise up against Saul. As for Saul, he rose up from the cave and kept going on his way.
(1 Samuel 25:9-13) Accordingly David’s young men came and spoke to Na′bal in accord with all these words in the name of David and then waited.

And do I have to take my bread and my water and my slaughtered meat that I have butchered for my shearers and give it to men of whom I do not even know from where they are?” Upon that David’s young men turned around on their way and went back and came and reported to him in accord with all these words. Immediately David said to his men: “Gird on every one his sword!” So they girded on every one his sword and David also girded on his own sword; and they began to go up after David, about four hundred men, while two hundred sat by the baggage.
(1 Samuel 25:21, 22) As for David, he had said: “It was altogether for disappointment that I guarded everything that belongs to this fellow in the wilderness and not a single thing of all that belongs to him showed up missing, and yet he repays me evil in return for good. So may God do to the enemies of David and so may he add to it if I shall let anyone of all who are his that urinates against the wall remain until the morning.”
(1 Samuel 25:32, 33) At this David said to Ab′i·gail: “Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, who has sent you this day to meet me! And blessed be your sensibleness, and blessed be you who have restrained me this day from entering into bloodguilt and having my own hand come to my salvation.

(1 Samuel 30:3-6) When David came with his men to the city, why, there it was burned with fire, and, as for their wives and their sons and their daughters, they had been carried off captive. And David and the people that were with him began to raise their voice and weep, until there was in them no power to weep [anymore]. And David’s two wives had been carried off captive, A·hin′o·am the Jez′re·el·i·tess and Ab′i·gail the wife of Na′bal the Car′mel·ite. And it became very distressing to David, because the people said to stone him; for the soul of all the people had become bitter, each one because of his sons and his daughters.

(Psalm 73:13-22) Surely it is in vain that I have cleansed my heart And that I wash my hands in innocence itself. And I came to be plagued all day long, And my correction is every morning. If I had said: “I will tell a story like that,” Look! against the generation of your sons I should have acted treacherously. And I kept considering so as to know this; It was a trouble in my eyes, Until I proceeded to come into the grand sanctuary of God. I wanted to discern their future. Surely on slippery ground is where you place them. You have made them fall to ruins. O how they have become an object of astonishment as in a moment! [How] they have reached their end, have been brought to their finish through sudden terrors! Like a dream after awaking, O Jehovah, [So] when arousing [yourself] you will despise their very image. For my heart was soured And in my kidneys I was sharply pained, And I was unreasoning and I could not know; I became as mere beasts from your standpoint.
(1 Samuel 1:4-8) And there came to be a day when El·ka′nah proceeded to sacrifice, and he gave to Pe·nin′nah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters portions; but to Han′nah he gave one portion. Nonetheless it was Han′nah that he loved, and, as for Jehovah, he had closed up her womb. And her rival wife also vexed her sorely for the sake of making her feel disconcerted because Jehovah had closed up her womb. And that was the way she would do year by year, as often as she went up into the house of Jehovah. That was the way she would vex her, so that she would weep and not eat. And El·ka′nah her husband proceeded to say to her: “Han′nah, why do you weep, and why do you not eat, and why does your heart feel bad? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
(1 Samuel 1:11) And she went on to make a vow and say: “O Jehovah of armies, if you will without fail look upon the affliction of your slave girl and actually remember me, and you will not forget your slave girl and actually give to your slave girl a male offspring, I will give him to Jehovah all the days of his life, and no razor will come upon his head.”
