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·
1And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
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.
2and had taken captive the women and all that were therein, both small and great; they slew not any, but carried them off, and went 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.
3And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
4καὶ ᾖρε Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῶν καί ἔκλαυσαν, ἕως ὅτου οὐκ ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἰσχὺς ἔτι τοῦ κλαίειν.
4Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5καὶ ἀμφότεραι αἱ γυναῖκες Δαυὶδ ᾐχμαλωτεύθησαν, Ἀχινόομ ἡ Ἰεζραηλῖτις καὶ Ἀβιγαία ἡ γυνὴ Νάβαλ τοῦ Καρμηλίου.
5And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
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; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
7καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ἀβιάθαρ τὸν ἱερέα υἱὸν Ἀβιμέλεχ· προσάγαγε τὸ ἐφούδ.
7And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech: 'I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod.' And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
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, saying: 'Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them?' And He answered him: 'Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake them, and shalt without fail recover all.'
9καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυίδ, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἑξακόσιοι ἄνδρες μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔρχονται ἕως τοῦ χειμάρρου Βοσόρ, καὶ οἱ περισσοὶ ἔστησαν.
9So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
10καὶ κατεδίωξεν ἐν τετρακοσίοις ἀνδράσιν, ὑπέστησαν δὲ διακόσιοι ἄνδρες, οἵτινες ἐκάθισαν πέραν τοῦ χειμάρρου τοῦ Βοσόρ.
10But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
11καὶ εὑρίσκουσιν ἄνδρα Αἰγύπτιον ἐν ἀγρῷ καὶ λαμβάνουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ ἄγουσιν αὐτὸν πρὸς Δαυίδ·
11And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they gave him water to drink;
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.
12and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins; and when he had eaten, his spirit came back to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, 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.
13And David said unto him: 'To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou?' And he said: 'I am a young Egyptian, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
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 made a raid upon the South of the Cherethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.'
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.
15And David said to him: 'Wilt thou bring me down to this troop?' And he said: 'Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop.'
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.
16And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and feasting, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of 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 smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day; and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels and fled.
18καὶ ἀφείλατο Δαυὶδ πάντα, ἃ ἔλαβον οἱ Ἀμαληκῖται, καὶ ἀμφοτέρας τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτοῦ ἐξείλατο.
18And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued 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.
19And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them; David brought back all.
20καὶ ἔλαβε πάντα τὰ ποίμνια καὶ τὰ βουκόλια καὶ ἀπήγαγεν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν σκύλων, καὶ τοῖς σκύλοις ἐκείνοις ἐλέγετο· ταῦτα τὰ σκῦλα Δαυίδ.
20And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said: 'This is David's spoil.'
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.
21And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him; and when David came near to the people, he saluted 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.
22Then answered all the wicked men and base fellows, of those that went with David, and said: 'Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.'
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.
23Then said David: 'Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given unto us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
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.
24And who will hearken unto you in this matter? for as is the share of him that goeth down to the battle, so shall be the share of him that tarrieth by the baggage; they shall share alike.'
25καὶ ἐγενήθη ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ἐπάνω, καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς πρόσταγμα καὶ εἰς δικαίωμα τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἕως τῆς σήμερον.
25And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this 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·
26And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying: 'Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD';
27τοῖς ἐν Βαιθσοὺρ καὶ τοῖς ἐν Ραμὰ νότου καὶ τοῖς ἐν Ἰεθθὸρ
27to them that were in Beth-el, and to them that were in Ramoth of the South, and to them that were in Jattir;
28καὶ τοῖς ἐν Ἀροὴρ καὶ τοῖς ἐν Ἀμμαδὶ καὶ τοῖς ἐν Σαφὶ καὶ τοῖς ἐν Ἐσθιὲ
28and to them that were in Aroer, and to them that were in Siphmoth, and to them that were in 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
29and to them that were in Racal, and to them that were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them that were in the cities of the Kenites;
30καὶ τοῖς ἐν Ἱεριμοὺθ καὶ τοῖς ἐν Βηρσαβεὲ καὶ τοῖς ἐν Νομβὲ
30and to them that were in Hormah, and to them that were in Bor-ashan, and to them that were in Athach;
31καὶ τοῖς ἐν Χεβρὼν καὶ εἰς πάντας τοὺς τόπους, οὓς διῆλθε Δαυὶδ ἐκεῖ, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ.
31and to them that were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
