1 Samuel 19:14

14 When Saul sent the men to capture David, Michal said, “He is ill.”

1 Samuel 20:13

13 But if my father intends to harm you, may the LORD deal with Jonathan, be it ever so severely, if I do not let you know and send you away in peace. May the LORD be with you as he has been with my father.

1 Samuel 20:20

20 I will shoot three arrows to the side of it, as though I were shooting at a target.

1 Samuel 20:21

21 Then I will send a boy and say, ‘Go, find the arrows.’ If I say to him, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; bring them here,’ then come, because, as surely as the LORD lives, you are safe; there is no danger.

1 Samuel 20:22

22 But if I say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,’ then you must go, because the LORD has sent you away.

1 Samuel 20:29

1 Samuel 25:25

1 Samuel 25:32

32 David said to Abigail, “Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who has sent you today to meet me.

1 Samuel 25:39

39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise be to the LORD, who has upheld my cause against Nabal for treating me with contempt.
