2 και σατραπαι αλλοφυλων παρεπορευοντο εις εκατονταδας και χιλιαδας και δαυιδ και οι ανδρες αυτου παρεπορευοντο επ' εσχατων μετα αγχους	2 The Philistine commanders marched past with their hundreds and their thousands, and David and hismen brought up the rear with Achish.
3 και ειπον οι σατραπαι των αλλοφυλων τινες οι διαπορευομενοι ουτοι και ειπεν αγχους προς τους στρατηγους των αλλοφυλων ουχ ουτος δαυιδ ο δουλος σαουλ βασιλεως ισραηλ γεγονεν μεθ' ημων ημερας τουτο δευτερον ετος και ουχ ευρηκα εν αυτω ουθεν αφ' ης ημερας ενεπεσεν προς με και εως της ημερας ταυτης	3 The Philistine chiefs asked, 'What are these Hebrews doing?' Achish replied to them, 'Why, this isDavid the servant of Saul, king of Israel, who has been with me for the last year or two. I have had no fault to findwith him from the day he gave himself up to me until the present time.'
4 και ελυπηθησαν επ' αυτω οι στρατηγοι των αλλοφυλων και λεγουσιν αυτω αποστρεψον τον ανδρα εις τον τοπον αυτου ου κατεστησας αυτον εκει και μη ερχεσθω μεθ' ημων εις τον πολεμον και μη γινεσθω επιβουλος της παρεμβολης και εν τινι διαλλαγησεται ουτος τω κυριω αυτου ουχι εν ταις κεφαλαις των ανδρων εκεινων	4 But the Philistine chiefs were angry with him. 'Send the man back,' they said, 'make him go back to theplace which you assigned to him. He cannot go into battle with us, in case he turns on us once battle is joined.Would there be a better way for the man to regain his master's favour than with the heads of these men here?
5 ουχ ουτος δαυιδ ω εξηρχον εν χοροις λεγοντες επαταξεν σαουλ εν χιλιασιν αυτου και δαυιδ εν μυριασιν αυτου	5 Is not this the David of whom they sang as they danced: Saul has kil ed his thousands, and David histens of thousands'?
6 και εκαλεσεν αγχους τον δαυιδ και ειπεν αυτω ζη κυριος οτι ευθης συ και αγαθος εν οφθαλμοις μου και η εξοδος σου και η εισοδος σου μετ' εμου εν τη παρεμβολη και οτι ουχ ευρηκα κατα σου κακιαν αφ' ης ημερας ηκεις προς με εως της σημερον ημερας και εν οφθαλμοις των σατραπων ουκ αγαθος συ	6 So Achish called David and said, 'As Yahweh lives, you are loyal, and I am quite content with al yourdoings in our campaigning together, since I have found no fault with you from the day you came to me until thepresent time. But you are not acceptable to the chiefs.
7 και νυν αναστρεφε και πορευου εις ειρηνην και ου μη ποιησεις κακιαν εν οφθαλμοις των σατραπων των αλλοφυλων	7 So go home, in peace, rather than antagonise them.'
8 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς αγχους τι πεποιηκα σοι και τι ευρες εν τω δουλω σου αφ' ης ημερας ημην ενωπιον σου και εως της ημερας ταυτης οτι ου μη ελθω πολεμησαι τους εχθρους του κυριου μου του βασιλεως	8 'But what have I done,' David asked Achish, 'what fault have you had to find with your servant from theday I entered your service to the present time, for me not to be al owed to go and fight the enemies of my lordthe king?'
9 και απεκριθη αγχους προς δαυιδ οιδα οτι αγαθος συ εν οφθαλμοις μου αλλ' οι σατραπαι των αλλοφυλων λεγουσιν ουχ ηξει μεθ' ημων εις πολεμον	9 In reply, Achish said to David, 'In my opinion, it is true, you are as good as an angel of God; but thePhilistine chiefs have said, "He must not go into battle with us."
10 και νυν ορθρισον το πρωι συ και οι παιδες του κυριου σου οι ηκοντες μετα σου και πορευεσθε εις τον τοπον ου κατεστησα υμας εκει και λογον λοιμον μη θης εν καρδια σου οτι αγαθος συ ενωπιον μου και ορθρισατε εν τη οδω και φωτισατω υμιν και πορευθητε	10 So get up early tomorrow morning, with your master's servants who came with you, and go to theplace which I assigned to you. Do not harbour resentment, since personal y I have no fault to find with you. Getup early tomorrow morning and, as soon as it is light, be off.'
11 και ωρθρισεν δαυιδ αυτος και οι ανδρες αυτου απελθειν και φυλασσειν την γην των αλλοφυλων και οι αλλοφυλοι ανεβησαν πολεμειν επι ισραηλ	11 So David and his men got up early to leave at dawn and go back to Philistine territory. And thePhilistines marched on Jezreel.
