1 Samuel 23:23

See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.

See {H7200} therefore, and take knowledge {H3045} of all the lurking places {H4224} where he hideth {H2244} himself, and come ye again {H7725} to me with the certainty {H3559}, and I will go {H1980} with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be {H3426} in the land {H776}, that I will search {H2664} him out throughout all the thousands {H505} of Judah {H3063}.

So look closely, find out where all his hiding-places are, and come back when you're sure. Then I will go with you, and if he is there in that territory, I'll search till I find him among all the thousands of Y'hudah."

Observe and find out all the places where he hides. Then come back to me with certainty, and I will go with you. If he is in the land, I will search him out among all the clans of Judah.”

See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking-places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me of a certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah.
