Berean Standard Bible
1ΚΑΙ 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.
1So David left Gath and took refuge in the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and the rest of his father’s household heard about it, they went down to him there.
2καὶ συνήγοντο πρὸς αὐτὸν πᾶς ἐν ἀνάγκῃ καὶ πᾶς ὑπόχρεως καὶ πᾶς κατώδυνος ψυχῇ, καὶ ἦν ἐπ᾿ αὐτῶν ἡγούμενος· καὶ ἦσαν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ὡς τετρακόσιοι ἄνδρες.
2And all who were distressed or indebted or discontented rallied around him, and he became their leader. About four hundred men were with him.
3καὶ ἀπῆλθε Δαυὶδ ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Μασσηφὰθ τῆς Μωὰβ καὶ εἶπε πρὸς βασιλέα Μωάβ· γινέσθωσαν δὴ ὁ πατὴρ μου καὶ ἡ μήτηρ μου παρὰ σοί, ἕως ὅτου γνῶ τί ποιήσει μοι ὁ Θεός.
3From there David went to Mizpeh of Moab, where he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother stay with you until I learn what God will do for me.”
4καὶ παρεκάλεσε τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ βασιλέως Μωάβ, καὶ κατῴκουν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ὄντος τοῦ Δαυὶδ ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ.
4So he left them in the care of the king of Moab, and they stayed with him the whole time David was in the stronghold.
5καὶ εἶπε Γὰδ ὁ προφήτης πρὸς Δαυίδ· μὴ κάθου ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ, πορεύου καὶ ἥξεις εἰς γῆν Ἰούδα. καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυὶδ καὶ ἦλθε καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν πόλει Σαρίχ.
5Then the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Depart and go into the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.
6Καὶ ἤκουσε Σαούλ, ὅτι ἔγνωσται Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ· καὶ Σαοὺλ ἐκάθητο ἐν τῷ βουνῷ ὑπὸ τὴν ἄρουραν τὴν ἐν Ραμά, καὶ τὸ δόρυ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ παρειστήκεισαν αὐτῷ.
6Soon Saul learned that David and his men had been discovered. At that time Saul was in Gibeah, sitting under the tamarisk tree on the hill at Gibeah, with his spear in hand and all his servants standing around him.
7καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ τοὺς παρεστηκότας αὐτῷ· ἀκούσατε δὴ υἱοὶ Βενιαμίν· εἰ ἀληθῶς πᾶσιν ὑμῖν δώσει ὁ υἱὸς Ἰεσσαὶ ἀγροὺς καὶ ἀμπελῶνας καὶ πάντας ὑμᾶς τάξει ἑκατοντάρχους καὶ χιλιάρχους;
7Then Saul said to his servants, “Listen, men of Benjamin! Is the son of Jesse giving all of you fields and vineyards and making you commanders of thousands or hundreds?
8ὅτι σύγκεισθε πάντες ὑμεῖς ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἀποκαλύπτων τὸ ὠτίον μου ἐν τῷ διαθέσθαι τὸν υἱόν μου διαθήκην μετὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ἰεσσαί, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι πονῶν περὶ ἐμοῦ ἐξ ὑμῶν καὶ ἀποκαλύπτων τὸ ὠτίον μου, ὅτι ἐπήγειρεν ὁ υἱός μου τὸν δοῦλόν μου ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ εἰς ἐχθρόν, ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη.
8Is that why all of you have conspired against me? Not one of you told me that my own son had made a covenant with the son of Jesse. Not one of you has shown concern for me or revealed to me that my son has stirred up my own servant to lie in wait against me, as is the case today.”
9καὶ ἀποκρίνεται Δωὴκ ὁ Σύρος ὁ καθεστηκὼς ἐπὶ τὰς ἡμιόνους Σαοὺλ καὶ εἶπεν· ἑώρακα τὸν υἱὸν Ἰεσσαὶ παραγινόμενον εἰς Νομβὰ πρὸς Ἀβιμέλεχ υἱὸν Ἀχιτὼβ τὸν ἱερέα,
9But Doeg the Edomite, who had stationed himself with Saul’s servants, answered: “I saw the son of Jesse come to Ahimelech son of Ahitub at Nob.
10καὶ ἠρώτα αὐτῷ διά τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἐπισιτισμὸν ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ καὶ τὴν ρομφαίαν Γολιὰθ τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ.
10Ahimelech inquired of the LORD for him and gave him provisions. He also gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
11καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καλέσαι τὸν Ἀβιμέλεχ υἱὸν Ἀχιτὼβ καὶ πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ τοὺς ἱερεῖς τοὺς ἐν Νομβά, καὶ παρεγένοντο πάντες πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα.
11Then the king sent messengers to summon Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and his father’s whole family, who were priests at Nob. And all of them came to the king.
12καὶ εἶπε Σαούλ· ἄκουε δή, υἱὲ Ἀχιτώβ· καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ἐγώ, λάλει κύριε.
12“Listen now, son of Ahitub,” said Saul. “Here I am, my lord,” he replied.
13καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Σαούλ· ἱνατί συνέθου κατ᾿ ἐμοῦ σὺ καὶ ὁ υἱὸς Ἰεσσαὶ δοῦναί σε αὐτῷ ἄρτον καὶ ρομφαίαν καὶ ἐρωτᾶν αὐτῷ διὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ θέσθαι αὐτὸν ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ εἰς ἐχθρόν, ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη;
13And Saul asked him, “Why have you and the son of Jesse conspired against me? You gave him bread and a sword and inquired of God for him so that he could rise up against me to lie in wait, as he is doing today.”
14καὶ 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 οἴκῳ σου;
14Ahimelech answered the king, “Who among all your servants is as faithful as David, the king’s son-in-law, the captain of your bodyguard who is honored in your house?
15ἦ σήμερον ἦργμαι ἐρωτᾶν αὐτῷ διὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ; μηδαμῶς. μὴ δότω ὁ βασιλεὺς κατὰ τοῦ δούλου αὐτοῦ λόγον καὶ ἐφ᾿ ὅλον τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου, ὅτι οὐκ ᾔδει ὁ δοῦλός σου ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις ρῆμα μικρὸν ἢ μέγα.
15Was that day the first time I inquired of God for him? Far be it from me! Let not the king accuse your servant or any of my father’s household, for your servant knew nothing of this whole affair—not in part or in whole.”
16καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαούλ· θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ, Ἀβιμέλεχ, σὺ καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός σου.
16But the king replied, “You will surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house!”
17καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς παρατρέχουσι τοῖς ἐφεστηκόσι πρὸς αὐτόν· προσαγάγετε καὶ θανατοῦτε τοὺς ἱερεῖς τοῦ Κυρίου, ὅτι ἡ χεὶρ αὐτῶν μετὰ Δαυίδ, καὶ ὅτι ἔγνωσαν ὅτι φεύγει αὐτός, καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκάλυψαν τὸ ὠτίον μου. καὶ οὐκ ἐβουλήθησαν οἱ παῖδες τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπενεγκεῖν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἀπαντῆσαι εἰς τοὺς ἱερεῖς Κυρίου.
17Then the king ordered the guards at his side, “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because they too sided with David. For they knew he was fleeing, but they did not tell me.” But the king’s servants would not lift a hand to strike the priests of the LORD.
18καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Δωήκ· 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.
18So the king ordered Doeg, “You turn and strike down the priests!” And Doeg the Edomite turned and struck down the priests himself. On that day he killed eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod.
19καὶ τὴν Νομβὰ τὴν πόλιν τῶν ἱερέων ἐπάταξεν ἐν στόματι ρομφαίας ἀπ᾿ ἀνδρὸς ἕως γυναικός, ἀπὸ νηπίου ἕως θηλάζοντος καὶ μόσχου καὶ ὄνου καὶ προβάτου.
19He also put to the sword Nob, the city of the priests, with its men and women, children and infants, oxen, donkeys, and sheep.
20καὶ διασώζεται υἱὸς εἷς τῷ Ἀβιμέλεχ υἱῷ Ἀχιτώβ, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἀβιάθαρ, καὶ ἔφυγεν ὀπίσω Δαυίδ.
20But one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub escaped. His name was Abiathar, and he fled to David.
21καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν Ἀβιάθαρ τῷ Δαυίδ, ὅτι ἐθανάτωσε Σαοὺλ πάντας τοὺς ἱερεῖς τοῦ Κυρίου.
21And Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the LORD.
22καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ τῷ Ἀβιάθαρ· ᾔδειν ὅτι ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὅτι Δωὴκ ὁ Σύρος ὅτι ἀπαγγέλλων ἀπαγγελεῖ τῷ Σαούλ· ἐγώ εἰμι αἴτιος τῶν ψυχῶν οἴκου τοῦ πατρός σου·
22Then David said to Abiathar, “I knew that Doeg the Edomite was there that day, and that he was sure to tell Saul. I myself am responsible for the lives of everyone in your father’s house.
23κάθου μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ, μὴ φοβοῦ, ὅτι οὗ ἐὰν ζητῶ τῇ ψυχῇ μου τόπον, ζητήσω καὶ τῇ ψυχῇ σου, ὅτι πεφύλαξαι σὺ παρ᾿ ἐμοί.
23Stay with me; do not be afraid, for he who seeks your life is seeking mine as well. You will be safe with me.”
