1
David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him.
Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν Δαυὶδ, καὶ διεσώθη, καὶ ἔρχεται εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ Ὀδολλάμ· καὶ ἀκούουσιν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ καταβαίνουσι πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ.
2
And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
Καὶ συνήγοντο πρὸς αὐτὸν πᾶς ἐν ἀνάγκῇ, καὶ πᾶς ὑπόχρεως, καὶ πᾶς κατώδυνος ψυχῇ, καὶ ἦν ἐπʼ αὐτῶν ἡγούμενος, καὶ ἦσαν μετʼ αὐτοῦ ὡς τετρακόσιοι ἄνδρες.
3
And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.
Καὶ ἀπῆλθε Δαυὶδ ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Μασσηφὰθ τῆς Μωὰβ, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς βασιλέα Μωὰβ, γινέσθωσαν δὴ ὁ πατήρ μου καὶ ἡ μήτηρ μου παρὰ σοί, ἕως ὅτου γνῶ τί ποιήσει μοι ὁ Θεός.
4
And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.
Καὶ παρεκάλεσε τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ βασιλέως Μωὰβ, καὶ κατῴκουν μετʼ αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, ὄντος τοῦ Δαυὶδ ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ.
5
And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.
Καὶ εἶπε Γὰδ ὁ προφήτης πρὸς Δαυὶδ, μὴ κάθου ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ· πορεύου, καὶ ἥξεις εἰς γῆν Ἰούδα· καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἦλθε καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν πόλει Σαρίκ.
6
When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him;)
Καὶ ἤκουσε Σαοὺλ, ὅτι ἔγνωσται Δαυὶδ, καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ Σαοὺλ ἐκάθητο ἐν τῷ βουνῷ ὑπὸ τὴν ἄρουραν τὴν ἐν Ῥαμᾷ, καὶ τὸ δόρυ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ παρειστήκεισαν αὐτῷ.
7
Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds;
Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ τοὺς παρεστηκότας αὐτῷ, ἀκούσατε δὴ υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν, εἰ ἀληθῶς πᾶσιν ὑμῖν δώσει ὁ υἱὸς Ἰεσσαὶ ἀγροὺς καὶ ἀμπελῶνας, καὶ πάντας ὑμᾶς τάξει ἑκατοντάρχους καὶ χιλιάρχους,
8
That all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that sheweth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or sheweth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
ὅτι σύγκεισθε πάντες ὑμεῖς ἐπʼ ἐμὲ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἀποκαλύπτων τὸ ὠτίον μου, ἐν τῷ διαθέσθαι τὸν υἱόν μου διαθήκην μετὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ἰεσσαὶ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι πονῶν περὶ ἐμοῦ ἐξ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀποκαλύπτων τὸ ὠτίον μου, ὅτι ἐπήγειρεν ὁ υἱός μου τὸν δοῦλόν μου ἐπʼ ἐμὲ εἰς ἐχθρὸν, ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη;
9
Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
Καὶ ἀποκρίνεται Δωὴκ ὁ Σύρος ὁ καθεστηκὼς ἐπὶ τάς ἡμιόνους Σαοὺλ, καὶ εἶπεν, ἑωρακα τὸν υἱὸν Ἰεσσαὶ παραγινόμενον εἰς Νομβᾶ πρὸς Ἀβιμέλεχ υἱὸν Ἀχιτὼβ τὸν ἱερέα.
10
And he enquired of the Lord for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
Καὶ ἠρώτα αὐτῷ διὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπισιτισμὸν ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ, καὶ τὴν ῥομφαίαν Γολιὰθ τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ.
11
Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καλέσαι τὸν Ἀβιμέλεχ υἱὸν Ἀχιτὼβ καὶ πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ τοὺς ἱερεῖς τοὺς ἐν Νομβᾶ· καὶ παρεγένοντο πάντες πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα.
12
And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.
Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ, ἄκουε δὴ υἱὲ Ἀχιτώβ· καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ, λάλει κύριε.
13
And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast enquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Σαοὺλ, ἱνατί συνέθου κατʼ ἐμοῦ σὺ καὶ ὁ υἱὸς Ἰεσσαὶ, δοῦναί σε αὐτῷ ἄρτον καὶ ῥομφαίαν, καὶ ἐρωτᾷν αὐτῷ διὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ, θέσθαι αὐτὸν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ εἰς ἐχθρὸν, ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη;
14
Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king’s son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thine house?
Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ εἶπε, καὶ τίς ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς δούλοις σου ὡς Δαυὶδ πιστὸς, καὶ γαμβρὸς τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἄρχων παντὸς παραγγέλματός σου, καὶ ἔνδοξος ἐν τῷ οἰκῳ σου;
15
Did I then begin to enquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.
Ἢ σήμερον ἦργμαι ἐρωτᾷν αὐτῷ διὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ; μηδαμῶς· μὴ δότω ὁ βασιλεὺς κατὰ τοῦ δούλου αὐτοῦ λόγον, καὶ ἐφʼ ὅλον τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου, ὅτι οὐκ ᾔδει ὁ δοῦλός σου ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις ῥῆμα μικρὸν, ἢ μέγα.
16
And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father’s house.
Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαοὺλ, θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ Ἀβιμέλεχ σὺ, καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός σου.
17
And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the Lord; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not shew it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the Lord.
Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς παρατρέχουσι τοῖς ἐφεστηκόσι πρὸς αὐτὸν, προσαγάγετε καὶ θανατοῦτε τοὺς ἱερεῖς τοῦ Κυρίου, ὅτι ἡ χεὶρ αὐτῶν μετὰ Δαυὶδ, καὶ ὅτι ἔγνωσαν ὅτι φεύγει αὐτὸς, καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκάλυψαν τὸ ὠτίον μου· καὶ οὐκ ἐβουλήθησαν οἱ παῖδες τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπενεγκεῖν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἁπαντῆσαι εἰς τοὺς ἱερεῖς Κυρίου.
18
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.
Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Δωὴκ, ἐπιστρέφου σὺ, καὶ ἀπάντα εἰς τοὺς ἱερεῖς· καὶ ἐπεστράφη Δωὴκ ὁ Σύρος, καὶ ἐθανάτωσε τοὺς ἱερεῖς τοῦ Κυρίου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, τριακοσίους καὶ πέντε ἄνδρας, πάντας αἴροντας ἐφούδ.
19
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.
Καὶ τὴν Νομβᾶ τὴν πόλιν τῶν ἱερέων ἐπάταξεν ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς ἕως γυναικὸς, ἀπὸ νηπίου ἕως θηλάζοντος, καὶ μόσχου, καὶ ὄνου, καὶ προβάτου.
20
And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
Καὶ διασώζεται υἱὸς εἷς τῷ Ἀβιμέλεχ υἱῷ Ἀχιτὼβ, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἀβιάθαρ, καὶ ἔφυγεν ὀπίσω Δαυίδ.
21
And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain the Lord’s priests.
Καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν Ἀβιάθαρ τῷ Δαυὶδ, ὅτι ἐθανάτωσε Σαοὺλ πάντας τοὺς ἱερεῖς τοῦ Κυρίου.
22
And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father’s house.
Καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ τῷ Ἀβιάθαρ, ἤδειν ὅτι ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ὅτι Δωὴκ ὁ Σύρος ὅτι ἀπαγγέλλων ἀπαγγελεῖ τῷ Σαούλ· ἐγώ εἰμι αἴτιος τῶν ψυχῶν οἴκου τοῦ πατρός σου.
23
Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.
Κάθου μετʼ ἐμοῦ· μὴ φοβοῦ, ὅτι οὗ ἐὰν ζητῶ τῇ ψυχῇ μου τόπον, ζητήσω καὶ τῇ ψυχῇ σου, ὅτι πεφύλαξαι σὺ παρʼ ἐμοί.
