Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Now the Philistines brought all their forces together at Aphek, while Israel camped by the spring in Jezreel.
1Καὶ συναθροίζουσιν ἀλλόφυλοι πάσας τὰς παρεμβολὰς αὐτῶν εἰς Ἀφὲκ, καὶ Ἰσραὴλ παρενέβαλεν ἐν Ἀεδὼρ τὴν ἐν Ἰεζραέλ.
2As the Philistine leaders marched out their units of hundreds and thousands, David and his men marched behind them with Achish.
2Καὶ οἱ σατράπαι τῶν ἀλλοφύλων παρεπορεύοντο εἰς ἑκατοντάδας καὶ χιλιάδας, καὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ παρεπορεύοντο ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων μετὰ Ἀγχοῦς.
3Then the commanders of the Philistines asked, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish replied, “Is this not David, the servant of King Saul of Israel? He has been with me all these days, even years, and from the day he defected until today I have found no fault in him.”
3Καὶ εἶπον οἱ σατράπαι τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, τίνες οἱ διαπορευόμενοι οὗτοι; καὶ εἶπεν Ἀγχοῦς πρὸς τοὺς στρατηγοὺς τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, οὐκ οὗτος Δαυὶδ ὁ δοῦλος Σαοὺλ βασιλέως Ἰσραήλ; γέγονε μεθʼ ἡμῶν ἡμέρας τοῦτο δεύτερον ἔτος, καὶ οὐχ εὕρηκα ἐν αὐτῷ οὐθὲν ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας ἐνέπεσε πρὸς μὲ καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
4But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with Achish and told him, “Send that man back and let him return to the place you assigned him. He must not go down with us into battle only to become our adversary during the war. What better way for him to regain the favor of his master than with the heads of our men?
4Καὶ ἐλυπήθησαν ἐπʼ αὐτῷ οἱ στρατηγοὶ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, ἀπόστρεψον τὸν ἄνδρα, καὶ ἀποστραφήτω εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ, οὗ κατέστησας αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ, καὶ μὴ ἐρχέσθω μεθʼ ἡμῶν εἰς τὸν πόλεμον, καὶ μὴ γινέσθω ἐπίβουλος τῆς παρεμβολῆς· καὶ ἐν τίνι διαλλαγήσεται οὗτος τῷ κυρίῳ αὐτοῦ; οὐχὶ ἐν ταῖς κεφαλαῖς τῶν ἀνδρῶν ἐκείνων;
5Is this not the David about whom they sing in their dances: ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?”
5οὐχ οὗτος Δαυὶδ, ᾧ ἐξῆρχον ἐν χοροῖς, λέγοντες, ἐπάταξε Σαοὺλ ἐν χιλιάσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ Δαυὶδ ἐν μυριάσιν αὐτοῦ;
6So Achish summoned David and told him, “As surely as the LORD lives, you have been upright in my sight, and it seems right that you should march in and out with me in the army, because I have found no fault in you from the day you came to me until this day. But you have no favor in the sight of the leaders.
6Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἀγχοῦς τὸν Δαυὶδ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ζῇ Κύριος, ὅτι εὐθὺς σὺ καὶ ἀγαθὸς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου, καὶ ἡ ἔξοδός σου καὶ ἡ εἴσοδός σου μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ, καὶ ὅτι οὐχ εὕρηκα κατὰ σοῦ κακίαν ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας ἥκεις πρὸς μὲ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας· καὶ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς τῶν σατραπῶν οὐκ ἀγαθὸς σύ.
7Therefore turn back now and go in peace, so that you will not do anything to displease the leaders of the Philistines.”
7Καὶ νῦν ἀνάστρεφε καὶ πορεύου εἰς εἰρήνην, καὶ οὐ μὴ ποιήσῃς κακίαν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς τῶν σατραπῶν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.
8“But what have I done?” David replied. “What have you found against your servant, from the day I came to you until today, to keep me from going along to fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
8Καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ἀγχοῦς, τί πεποίηκά σοι καὶ τί εὗρες ἐν τῷ δούλῳ σου ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας ἤμην ἐνώπιόν σου καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης, ὅτι οὐ μὴ ἔλθω πολεμήσας τοὺς ἐχθροὺς τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως;
9Achish replied, “I know that you are as pleasing in my sight as an angel of God. But the commanders of the Philistines have said, ‘He must not go into battle with us.’
9Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἀγχοῦς πρὸς Δαυὶδ, οἶδα ὅτι ἀγαθὸς σὺ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου, ἀλλʼ οἱ σατράπαι τῶν ἀλλοφύλων λέγουσιν, οὐχ ἥξει μεθʼ ἡμῶν εἰς πόλεμον.
10Now then, get up early in the morning, along with your master’s servants who came with you, and go as soon as it is light.”
10Καὶ νῦν ὄρθρισον τοπρωῒ σὺ καὶ οἱ παῖδες τοῦ κυρίου σου οἱ ἥκοντες μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ πορεύεσθε εἰς τὸν τόπον οὗ κατέστησα ὑμᾶς ἐκεῖ, καὶ λόγον λοιμὸν μὴ θῇς ἐν καρδίᾳ σου, ὅτι ἀγαθὸς σὺ ἐνώπιόν μου· καὶ ὀρθρίσατε ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ φωτισάτω ὑμῖν, καὶ πορεύθητε.
11So David and his men got up early in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
11Καὶ ὤρθρισε Δαυὶδ αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ ἀπελθεῖν καὶ φυλάσσειν τὴν γῆν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἀνέβησαν πολεμεῖν ἐπὶ Ἰεζραήλ.
