| 1 Samuel 26 Text (WEB)
|
- The Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, "Doesn't David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert?"
- Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
- Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, by the way. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
- David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had certainly come.
- David arose, and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army: and Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were encamped around him.
- Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, "Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?" Abishai said, "I will go down with you."
- So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay around him.
- Then Abishai said to David, "God has delivered up your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time."
- David said to Abishai, "Don't destroy him; for who can put forth his hand against Yahweh's anointed, and be guiltless?"
- David said, "As Yahweh lives, Yahweh will strike him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.
- Yahweh forbid that I should put forth my hand against Yahweh's anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head, and the jar of water, and let us go."
- So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul's head; and they went away: and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Yahweh was fallen on them.
- Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain afar off; a great space being between them;
- and David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, "Don't you answer, Abner?" Then Abner answered, "Who are you who cries to the king?"
- David said to Abner, "Aren't you a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord, the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.
- This thing isn't good that you have done. As Yahweh lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, Yahweh's anointed. Now see where the king's spear is, and the jar of water that was at his head."
- Saul knew David's voice, and said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" David said, "It is my voice, my lord, O king."
- He said, "Why does my lord pursue after his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in my hand?
- Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that Yahweh has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, they are cursed before Yahweh; for they have driven me out this day that I shouldn't cling to Yahweh's inheritance, saying, 'Go, serve other gods!'
- Now therefore, don't let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Yahweh; for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains."
- Then Saul said, "I have sinned. Return, my son David; for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly."
- David answered, "Behold the spear, O king! Then let one of the young men come over and get it.
- Yahweh will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; because Yahweh delivered you into my hand today, and I wouldn't put forth my hand against Yahweh's anointed.
- Behold, as your life was respected this day in my eyes, so let my life be respected in the eyes of Yahweh, and let him deliver me out of all oppression."
- Then Saul said to David, "You are blessed, my son David. You shall both do mightily, and shall surely prevail." So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.

- ויבאו הזפים אל־שאול הגבעתה לאמר הלוא דוד מסתתר בגבעת החכילה על פני הישימן׃
- ויקם שאול וירד אל־מדבר־זיף ואתו שלשת־אלפים איש בחורי ישראל לבקש את־דוד במדבר־זיף׃
- ויחן שאול בגבעת החכילה אשר על־פני הישימן על־הדרך ודוד ישב במדבר וירא כי בא שאול אחריו המדברה׃
- וישלח דוד מרגלים וידע כי־בא שאול אל־נכון׃
- ויקם דוד ויבא אל־המקום אשר חנה־שם שאול וירא דוד את־המקום אשר שכב־שם שאול ואבנר בן־נר שר־צבאו ושאול שכב במעגל והעם חנים ׃
- ויען דוד ויאמר אל־אחימלך החתי ואל־אבישי בן־צרויה אחי יואב לאמר מי־ירד אתי אל־שאול אל־המחנה ויאמר אבישי אני ארד עמך׃
- ויבא דוד ואבישי אל־העם לילה והנה שאול שכב ישן במעגל וחניתו מעוכה־בארץ ואבנר והעם שכבים ׃ ס
- ויאמר אבישי אל־דוד סגר אלהים היום את־אויבך בידך ועתה אכנו נא בחנית ובארץ פעם אחת ולא אשנה לו׃
- ויאמר דוד אל־אבישי אל־תשחיתהו כי מי שלח ידו במשיח יהוה ונקה׃ ף
- ויאמר דוד חי־יהוה כי אם־יהוה יגפנו או־יומו יבוא ומת או במלחמה ירד ונספה׃
- חלילה לי מיהוה משלח ידי במשיח יהוה ועתה קח־נא את־החנית אשר ואת־צפחת המים ונלכה לנו׃
- ויקח דוד את־החנית ואת־צפחת המים מראשתי שאול וילכו להם ואין ראה ואין יודע ואין מקיץ כי כלם ישנים כי תרדמת יהוה נפלה עליהם׃
- ויעבר דוד העבר ויעמד על־ראש־ההר מרחק רב המקום ביניהם׃
- ויקרא דוד אל־העם ואל־אבנר בן־נר לאמר הלוא תענה אבנר ויען אבנר ויאמר מי אתה קראת אל־המלך׃ ף
- ויאמר דוד אל־אבנר הלוא־איש אתה ומי כמוך בישראל ולמה לא שמרת אל־אדניך המלך כי־בא אחד העם להשחית את־המלך אדניך׃
- לא־טוב הדבר הזה אשר עשית חי־יהוה כי בני־מות אתם אשר לא־שמרתם על־אדניכם על־משיח יהוה ועתה ראה אי־חנית המלך ואת־צפחת המים אשר ׃
- ויכר שאול את־קול דוד ויאמר הקולך זה בני דוד ויאמר דוד קולי אדני המלך׃
- ויאמר למה זה אדני רדף אחרי עבדו כי מה עשיתי ומה־בידי רעה׃
- ועתה ישמע־נא אדני המלך את דברי עבדו אם־יהוה הסיתך בי ירח מנחה ואם בני האדם ארורים הם לפני יהוה כי־גרשוני היום מהסתפח בנחלת יהוה לאמר לך עבד אלהים אחרים׃
- ועתה אל־יפל דמי ארצה מנגד פני יהוה כי־יצא מלך ישראל לבקש את־פרעש אחד כאשר ירדף הקרא בהרים׃
- ויאמר שאול חטאתי שוב בני־דוד כי לא־ארע לך עוד תחת אשר יקרה נפשי בעיניך היום הזה הנה הסכלתי ואשגה הרבה מאד׃
- ויען דוד ויאמר הנה המלך ויעבר אחד מהנערים ויקחה׃
- ויהוה ישיב לאיש את־צדקתו ואת־אמנתו אשר נתנך יהוה היום ביד ולא אביתי לשלח ידי במשיח יהוה׃
- והנה כאשר גדלה נפשך היום הזה בעיני כן תגדל נפשי בעיני יהוה ויצלני מכל־צרה׃ ף
- ויאמר שאול אל־דוד ברוך אתה בני דוד גם עשה תעשה וגם יכל תוכל וילך דוד לדרכו ושאול שב למקומו׃ ף

|
- Et venerunt Ziphæi ad Saul in Gabaa, dicentes : Ecce, David absconditus est in colle Hachila, quæ est ex adverso solitudinis.
- Et surrexit Saul, et descendit in desertum Ziph, et cum eo tria millia virorum de electis Israël, ut quæreret David in deserto Ziph.
- Et castrametatus est Saul in Gabaa Hachila, quæ erat ex adverso solitudinis in via : David autem habitabat in deserto. Videns autem quod venisset Saul post se in desertum,
- misit exploratores, et didicit quod illuc venisset certissime.
- Et surrexit David clam, et venit ad locum ubi erat Saul : cumque vidisset locum in quo dormiebat Saul, et Abner filius Ner, princeps militiæ ejus, et Saulem dormientem in tentorio, et reliquum vulgus per circuitum ejus,
- ait David ad Achimelech Hethæum, et Abisai filium Sarviæ, fratrem Joab, dicens : Quis descendet mecum ad Saul in castra ? Dixitque Abisai : Ego descendam tecum.
- Venerunt ergo David et Abisai ad populum nocte, et invenerunt Saul jacentem et dormientem in tentorio, et hastam fixam in terra ad caput ejus : Abner autem et populum dormientes in circuitu ejus.
- Dixitque Abisai ad David : Conclusit Deus inimicum tuum hodie in manus tuas : nunc ergo perfodiam eum lancea in terra, semel, et secundo opus non erit.
- Et dixit David ad Abisai : Ne interficias eum : quis enim extendet manum suam in christum Domini, et innocens erit ?
- Et dixit David : Vivit Dominus, quia nisi Dominus percusserit eum, aut dies ejus venerit ut moriatur, aut in prælium descendens perierit :
- propitius sit mihi Dominus ne extendam manum meam in christum Domini : nunc igitur tolle hastam, quæ est ad caput ejus, et scyphum aquæ, et abeamus.
- Tulit igitur David hastam, et scyphum aquæ, qui erat ad caput Saul, et abierunt : et non erat quisquam, qui videret, et intelligeret, et evigilaret, sed omnes dormiebant, quia sopor Domini irruerat super eos.
- Cumque transisset David ex adverso, et stetisset in vertice montis de longe, et esset grande intervallum inter eos,
- clamavit David ad populum, et ad Abner filium Ner, dicens : Nonne respondebis, Abner ? Et respondens Abner, ait : Quis es tu, qui clamas, et inquietas regem ?
- Et ait David ad Abner : Numquid non vir tu es ? et quis alius similis tui in Israël ? quare ergo non custodisti dominum tuum regem ? ingressus est enim unus de turba ut interficeret regem, dominum tuum.
- Non est bonum hoc, quod fecisti : vivit Dominus, quoniam filii mortis estis vos, qui non custodistis dominum vestrum, christum Domini : nunc ergo vide ubi sit hasta regis, et ubi sit scyphus aquæ qui erat ad caput ejus.
- Cognovit autem Saul vocem David, et dixit : Numquid vox hæc tua, fili mi David ? Et ait David : Vox mea, domine mi rex.
- Et ait : Quam ob causam dominus meus persequitur servum suum ? Quid feci ? aut quod est malum in manu mea ?
- Nunc ergo audi, oro, domine mi rex, verba servi tui : si Dominus incitat te adversum me, odoretur sacrificium : si autem filii hominum, maledicti sunt in conspectu Domini : qui ejecerunt me hodie, ut non habitem in hæreditate Domini, dicentes : Vade, servi diis alienis.
- Et nunc non effundatur sanguis meus in terram coram Domino : quia egressus est rex Israël ut quærat pulicem unum, sicut persequitur perdix in montibus.
- Et ait Saul : Peccavi, revertere fili mi David : nequaquam enim ultra tibi malefaciam, eo quod pretiosa fuerit anima mea in oculis tuis hodie : apparet enim quod stulte egerim, et ignoraverim multa nimis.
- Et respondens David, ait : Ecce hasta regis : transeat unus de pueris regis, et tollat eam.
- Dominus autem retribuet unicuique secundum justitiam suam et fidem : tradidit enim te Dominus hodie in manum meam, et nolui extendere manum meam in christum Domini.
- Et sicut magnificata est anima tua hodie in oculis meis, sic magnificetur anima mea in oculis Domini, et liberet me de omni angustia.
- Ait ergo Saul ad David : Benedictus tu fili mi David : et quidem faciens facies, et potens poteris. Abiit autem David in viam suam, et Saul reversus est in locum suum.

- And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?
- Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
- And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
- David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed.
- And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him.
- Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.
- So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him.
- Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.
- And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD's anointed, and be guiltless?
- David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.
- The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the LORD's anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.
- So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them.
- Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space being between them:
- And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?
- And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.
- This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the LORD liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster.
- And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.
- And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand?
- Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.
- Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.
- Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
- And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.
- The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness: for the LORD delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD's anointed.
- And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.
- Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
