11:1 In the spring of the year, at the time when kings 2 normally conduct wars, 3 David sent out Joab with his officers 4 and the entire Israelite army. 5 They defeated the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed behind in Jerusalem. 6
18:17 7 Then Saul said to David, “Here’s my oldest daughter, Merab. I want to give her to you in marriage. Only be a brave warrior 8 for me and fight the battles of the Lord.” For Saul thought, “There’s no need for me to raise my hand against him. Let it be the hand of the Philistines!”
51:4 Against you – you above all 11 – I have sinned;
I have done what is evil in your sight.
So 12 you are just when you confront me; 13
you are right when you condemn me. 14
51:14 Rescue me from the guilt of murder, 15 O God, the God who delivers me!
Then my tongue will shout for joy because of your deliverance. 16
20:13 Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord!
For he rescues the oppressed from the clutches of evildoers. 17
