Proverbs 24:15

Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king’s hand. And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the Lord; for ye have compassion on me. Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who hath seen him there: for it is told me that he dealeth very subtilly. 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.

The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.

And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod. And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.

And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here?

And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.

And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.

If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.

The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.

He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
