21 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, “Behold, thine hand- maid shath_ obeyed thy voice, and I have_put my slife in my hand, and haye_hearkened_unto thy words which thou spakest unto me.

5 Is not this David, of whom they ‘sang one_to-another in xdances, say- Ing,
