ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Α´ - 1 Samuele - Kings I 27

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 και ειπεν δαυιδ εν τη καρδια αυτου λεγων νυν προστεθησομαι εν ημερα μια εις χειρας σαουλ και ουκ εστιν μοι αγαθον εαν μη σωθω εις γην αλλοφυλων και ανη σαουλ του ζητειν με εις παν οριον ισραηλ και σωθησομαι εκ χειρος αυτου	1 But David said to himself: "I shall perish some day at the hand of Saul. I have no choice but to escape to the land of the Philistines; then Saul will give up his continual search for me throughout the land of Israel, and I shall be out of his reach."
2 και ανεστη δαυιδ και οι τετρακοσιοι ανδρες μετ' αυτου και επορευθη προς αγχους υιον αμμαχ βασιλεα γεθ	2 Accordingly, David departed with his six hundred men and went over to Achish, son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3 και εκαθισεν δαυιδ μετα αγχους εν γεθ αυτος και οι ανδρες αυτου εκαστος και ο οικος αυτου και δαυιδ και αμφοτεραι αι γυναικες αυτου αχινααμ η ιεζραηλιτις και αβιγαια η γυνη ναβαλ του καρμηλιου	3 David and his men lived in Gath with Achish; each one had his family, and David had his two wives, Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal from Carmel.
4 και ανηγγελη τω σαουλ οτι πεφευγεν δαυιδ εις γεθ και ου προσεθετο ετι ζητειν αυτον	4 When Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, he no longer searched for him.
5 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς αγχους ει δη ευρηκεν ο δουλος σου χαριν εν οφθαλμοις σου δοτωσαν δη μοι τοπον εν μια των πολεων των κατ' αγρον και καθησομαι εκει και ινα τι καθηται ο δουλος σου εν πολει βασιλευομενη μετα σου	5 David said to Achish: "If I meet with your approval, let me have a place to live in one of the country towns. Why should your servant live with you in the royal city?"
6 και εδωκεν αυτω εν τη ημερα εκεινη την σεκελακ δια τουτο εγενηθη σεκελακ τω βασιλει της ιουδαιας εως της ημερας ταυτης	6 That same day Achish gave him Ziklag, which has, therefore, belonged to the kings of Judah up to the present time.
7 και εγενηθη ο αριθμος των ημερων ων εκαθισεν δαυιδ εν αγρω των αλλοφυλων τεσσαρας μηνας	7 In all, David lived a year and four months in the country of the Philistines.
8 και ανεβαινεν δαυιδ και οι ανδρες αυτου και επετιθεντο επι παντα τον γεσιρι και επι τον αμαληκιτην και ιδου η γη κατωκειτο απο ανηκοντων η απο γελαμψουρ τετειχισμενων και εως γης αιγυπτου	8 David and his men went up and made raids on the Geshurites, Girzites, and Amalekites-peoples living in the land between Telam, on the approach to Shur, and the land of Egypt.
9 και ετυπτε την γην και ουκ εζωογονει ανδρα και γυναικα και ελαμβανεν ποιμνια και βουκολια και ονους και καμηλους και ιματισμον και ανεστρεψαν και ηρχοντο προς αγχους	9 In attacking the land David would not leave a man or woman alive, but would carry off sheep, oxen, asses, camels, and clothes. On his return he brought these to Achish,
10 και ειπεν αγχους προς δαυιδ επι τινα επεθεσθε σημερον και ειπεν δαυιδ προς αγχους κατα νοτον της ιουδαιας και κατα νοτον ιεσμεγα και κατα νοτον του κενεζι	10 who asked, "Whom did you raid this time?" And David answered, "The Negeb of Judah," or "The Negeb of Jerahmeel," or "The Negeb of the Kenites."
11 και ανδρα και γυναικα ουκ εζωογονησεν του εισαγαγειν εις γεθ λεγων μη αναγγειλωσιν εις γεθ καθ' ημων λεγοντες ταδε δαυιδ ποιει και τοδε το δικαιωμα αυτου πασας τας ημερας ας εκαθητο δαυιδ εν αγρω των αλλοφυλων	11 But David would not leave a man or woman alive to be brought to Gath, fearing that they would betray him by saying, "This is what David did." This was his custom as long as he lived in the country of the Philistines.
12 και επιστευθη δαυιδ εν τω αγχους σφοδρα λεγων ησχυνται αισχυνομενος εν τω λαω αυτου εν ισραηλ και εσται μοι δουλος εις τον αιωνα	12 And Achish trusted David, thinking, "He must certainly be detested by his people Israel. I shall have him as my vassal forever."
