1ΚΑΙ ἐγενήθη εἰσελθόντος Δαυὶδ καὶ τῶν ἄνδρῶν αὐτοῦ τὴν Σεκελὰκ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, καὶ Ἀμαλὴκ ἐπέθετο ἐπὶ τὸν νότον καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν Σεκελὰκ καὶ ἐπάταξε τὴν Σεκελὰκ καὶ ἐνεπύρισαν αὐτὴν ἐν πυρί·
1On the third day David and his men arrived in Ziklag, and the Amalekites had raided the Negev, attacked Ziklag, and burned it down.
2καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ ἀπὸ μικροῦ ἕως μεγάλου οὐκ ἐθανάτωσαν ἄνδρα καὶ γυναῖκα, ἀλλ᾿ ᾐχμαλώτευσαν καὶ ἀπῆλθον εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῶν.
2They had taken captive the women and all who were there, both young and old. They had not killed anyone, but had carried them off as they went on their way.
3καὶ ἦλθε Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν πόλιν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐμπεπύρισται ἐν πυρί, αἱ δὲ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῶν ᾐχμαλωτευμένοι.
3When David and his men came to the city, they found it burned down and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive.
4καὶ ᾖρε Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῶν καί ἔκλαυσαν, ἕως ὅτου οὐκ ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἰσχὺς ἔτι τοῦ κλαίειν.
4So David and the troops with him lifted up their voices and wept until they had no strength left to weep.
5καὶ ἀμφότεραι αἱ γυναῖκες Δαυὶδ ᾐχμαλωτεύθησαν, Ἀχινόομ ἡ Ἰεζραηλῖτις καὶ Ἀβιγαία ἡ γυνὴ Νάβαλ τοῦ Καρμηλίου.
5David’s two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel, had been taken captive.
6καὶ ἐθλίβη Δαυὶδ σφόδρα, ὅτι εἶπεν ὁ λαὸς λιθοβολῆσαι αὐτόν, ὅτι κατώδυνος ψυχὴ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ, ἑκάστου ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐκραταιώθη Δαυὶδ ἐν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ αὐτοῦ.
6And David was greatly distressed because the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of every man grieved for his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God.
7καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ἀβιάθαρ τὸν ἱερέα υἱὸν Ἀβιμέλεχ· προσάγαγε τὸ ἐφούδ.
7Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring me the ephod.” So Abiathar brought it to him,
8καὶ ἐπηρώτησε Δαυὶδ διά τοῦ Κυρίου λέγων· εἰ καταδιώξω ὀπίσω τοῦ γεδδοὺρ τούτου, εἰ καταλήψομαι αὐτούς; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· καταδίωκε, ὅτι καταλαμβάνων καταλήψῃ αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐξαιρούμενος ἐξελῇ.
8and David inquired of the LORD: “Should I pursue these raiders? Will I overtake them?” “Pursue them,” the LORD replied, “for you will surely overtake them and rescue the captives.”
9καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυίδ, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἑξακόσιοι ἄνδρες μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔρχονται ἕως τοῦ χειμάρρου Βοσόρ, καὶ οἱ περισσοὶ ἔστησαν.
9So David and his six hundred men went to the Brook of Besor, where some stayed behind
10καὶ κατεδίωξεν ἐν τετρακοσίοις ἀνδράσιν, ὑπέστησαν δὲ διακόσιοι ἄνδρες, οἵτινες ἐκάθισαν πέραν τοῦ χειμάρρου τοῦ Βοσόρ.
10because two hundred men were too exhausted to cross the brook. But David and four hundred men continued in pursuit.
11καὶ εὑρίσκουσιν ἄνδρα Αἰγύπτιον ἐν ἀγρῷ καὶ λαμβάνουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ ἄγουσιν αὐτὸν πρὸς Δαυίδ·
11Now his men found an Egyptian in the field and brought him to David. They gave the man water to drink and food to eat—
12καὶ διδόασιν αὐτῷ ἄρτον, καὶ ἔφαγε, καὶ ἐπότισαν αὐτὸν ὕδωρ· καὶ διδόασιν αὐτῷ κλάσμα παλάθης, καὶ ἔφαγε, καὶ κατέστη τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ, ὅτι οὐ βεβρώκει ἄρτον καὶ οὐ πεπώκει ὕδωρ τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ τρεῖς νύκτας.
12a piece of a fig cake and two clusters of raisins. So he ate and was revived, for he had not had any food or water for three days and three nights.
13καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δαυίδ· τίνος σὺ εἶ καὶ πόθεν εἶ; καὶ εἶπε τὸ παιδάριον τὸ Αἰγύπτιον· ἐγώ εἰμι δοῦλος ἀνδρὸς Ἀμαληκίτου, καὶ κατέλιπέ με ὁ Κύριός μου, ὅτι ἠνωχλήθην ἐγὼ σήμερον τριταῖος.
13Then David asked him, “To whom do you belong, and where are you from?” “I am an Egyptian,” he replied, “the slave of an Amalekite. My master abandoned me three days ago when I fell ill.
14καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐπεθέμεθα ἐπὶ τὸν νότον τοῦ Χολθὶ καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ τῆς Ἰουδαίας μέρη καὶ ἐπὶ νότον Χελοὺβ καὶ τὴν Σεκελὰκ ἐνεπυρίσαμεν ἐν πυρί.
14We raided the Negev of the Cherethites, the territory of Judah, and the Negev of Caleb, and we burned down Ziklag.”
15καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δαυίδ· εἰ κατάξεις με ἐπὶ τὸ γεδδοὺρ τοῦτο; καὶ εἶπεν· ὄμοσον δή μοι κατὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ μὴ θανατώσειν με καὶ μὴ παραδοῦναί με εἰς χεῖρας τοῦ κυρίου μου, καὶ κατάξω σε ἐπὶ τὸ γεδδοὺρ τοῦτο.
15“Will you lead me to these raiders?” David asked. And the man replied, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or deliver me into the hand of my master, and I will lead you to them.”
16καὶ κατήγαγεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὗτοι διακεχυμένοι ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς ἐσθίοντες καὶ πίνοντες καὶ ἑορτάζοντες ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς σκύλοις τοῖς μεγάλοις, οἷς ἔλαβον ἐκ γῆς ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἐκ γῆς Ἰούδα.
16So he led David down, and there were the Amalekites spread out over all the land, eating, drinking, and celebrating the great amount of plunder they had taken from the land of the Philistines and the land of Judah.
17καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ ἑωσφόρου ἕως δείλης καὶ τῇ ἐπαύριον, καὶ οὐκ ἐσώθη ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀνὴρ ὅτι ἀλλ᾿ ἢ τετρακόσια παιδάρια, ἃ ἦν ἐπιβεβηκότα ἐπὶ τὰς καμήλους καὶ ἔφυγον.
17And David struck them down from twilight until the evening of the next day. Not a man escaped, except four hundred young men who fled, riding off on camels.
18καὶ ἀφείλατο Δαυὶδ πάντα, ἃ ἔλαβον οἱ Ἀμαληκῖται, καὶ ἀμφοτέρας τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτοῦ ἐξείλατο.
18So David recovered everything the Amalekites had taken, including his two wives.
19καὶ οὐ διεφώνησεν αὐτοῖς ἀπὸ μικροῦ ἕως μεγάλου καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν σκύλων καὶ ἕως υἱῶν καὶ θυγατέρων καὶ ἕως πάντων, ὧν ἔλαβον αὐτῶν· τὰ πάντα ἐπέστρεψε Δαυίδ.
19Nothing was missing, young or old, son or daughter, or any of the plunder the Amalekites had taken. David brought everything back.
20καὶ ἔλαβε πάντα τὰ ποίμνια καὶ τὰ βουκόλια καὶ ἀπήγαγεν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν σκύλων, καὶ τοῖς σκύλοις ἐκείνοις ἐλέγετο· ταῦτα τὰ σκῦλα Δαυίδ.
20And he recovered all the flocks and herds, which his men drove ahead of the other livestock, calling out, “This is David’s plunder!”
21καὶ παραγίνεται Δαυὶδ πρὸς τοὺς διακοσίους ἄνδρας τοὺς ὑπολειφθέντας τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ὀπίσω Δαυὶδ καί ἐκάθισεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ χειμάρρῳ τοῦ Βοσόρ, καὶ ἐξῆλθον εἰς ἀπάντησιν Δαυὶδ καὶ εἰς ἀπάντησιν τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσήγαγε Δαυὶδ ἕως τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτὸν τὰ εἰς εἰρήνην.
21When David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow him from the Brook of Besor, they came out to meet him and the troops with him. As David approached the men, he greeted them,
22καὶ ἀπεκρίθη πᾶς ἀνὴρ λοιμὸς καὶ πονηρὸς τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν πολεμιστῶν τῶν πορευθέντων μετὰ Δαυὶδ καὶ εἶπον, ὅτι οὐ κατεδίωξαν μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν, οὐ δώσομεν αὐτοῖς ἐκ τῶν σκύλων, ὧν ἐξειλόμεθα, ὅτι ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἕκαστος τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ ἀπαγέσθωσαν καὶ ἀποστρεφέτωσαν.
22but all the wicked and worthless men among those who had gone with David said, “Because they did not go with us, we will not share with them the plunder we recovered, except for each man’s wife and children. They may take them and go.”
23καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· οὐ ποιήσετε οὕτως μετὰ τὸ παραδοῦναι τὸν Κύριον ἡμῖν καὶ φυλάξαι ἡμᾶς καὶ παρέδωκε Κύριος τὸν γεδδοὺρ τὸν ἐπερχόμενον ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς εἰς χεῖρας ἡμῶν.
23But David said, “My brothers, you must not do this with what the LORD has given us. He has protected us and delivered into our hands the raiders who came against us.
24καὶ τίς ἐπακούσεται ὑμῶν τῶν λόγων τούτων; ὅτι οὐχ ἧττον ἡμῶν εἰσι· διότι κατὰ τὴν μερίδα τοῦ καταβαίνοντος εἰς τὸν πόλεμον, οὕτως ἔσται ἡ μερὶς τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τὰ σκεύη· κατὰ τὸ αὐτὸ μεριοῦνται.
24Who will listen to your proposal? The share of the one who went to battle will match the share of the one who stayed with the supplies. They will share alike.”
25καὶ ἐγενήθη ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ἐπάνω, καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς πρόσταγμα καὶ εἰς δικαίωμα τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἕως τῆς σήμερον.
25And so it has been from that day forward. David established this statute as an ordinance for Israel to this very day.
26Καὶ ἦλθε Δαυὶδ εἰς Σεκελὰκ καὶ ἀπέστειλε τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις τῶν σκύλων Ἰούδα καὶ τοῖς πλησίον αὐτοῦ λέγων· ἰδοὺ ἀπὸ τῶν σκύλων τῶν ἐχθρῶν Κυρίου·
26When David arrived in Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to his friends, the elders of Judah, saying, “Here is a gift for you from the plunder of the LORD’s enemies.”
27τοῖς ἐν Βαιθσοὺρ καὶ τοῖς ἐν Ραμὰ νότου καὶ τοῖς ἐν Ἰεθθὸρ
27He sent gifts to those in Bethel, Ramoth Negev, and Jattir;
28καὶ τοῖς ἐν Ἀροὴρ καὶ τοῖς ἐν Ἀμμαδὶ καὶ τοῖς ἐν Σαφὶ καὶ τοῖς ἐν Ἐσθιὲ
28to those in Aroer, Siphmoth, and Eshtemoa;
29καὶ τοῖς ἐν Γὲθ καὶ τοῖς ἐν Κινὰν καὶ τοῖς ἐν Σαφὲκ καὶ τοῖς ἐν Θιμὰθ καὶ τοῖς ἐν Καρμήλῳ καὶ τοῖς ἐν ταῖς πόλεσι τοῦ Ἱεραμηλὶ καὶ τοῖς ἐν ταῖς πόλεσι τοῦ Κενεζὶ
29to those in Racal and in the cities of the Jerahmeelites and Kenites;
30καὶ τοῖς ἐν Ἱεριμοὺθ καὶ τοῖς ἐν Βηρσαβεὲ καὶ τοῖς ἐν Νομβὲ
30to those in Hormah, Bor-ashan, and Athach;
31καὶ τοῖς ἐν Χεβρὼν καὶ εἰς πάντας τοὺς τόπους, οὓς διῆλθε Δαυὶδ ἐκεῖ, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ.
31and to those in Hebron and in all the places where David and his men had roamed.
