ΚΑΙ ἀπέθανε Σαμουήλ, καὶ συναθροίζονται πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ κόπτονται αὐτὸν καὶ θάπτουσιν αὐτὸν ἐν οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν ᾿Αρμαθαίμ. καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ καὶ κατέβη εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Μαάν. 2 καὶ ἦν ἄνθρωπος ἐν τῇ Μαάν, καὶ τὰ ποίμνια αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ Καρμήλῳ· καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος μέγας σφόδρα, καὶ τούτῳ ποίμνια τρισχίλια καὶ αἶγες χίλιαι· καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ κείρειν τὸ ποίμνιον αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ Καρμήλῳ. 3 καὶ ὄνομα τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ Νάβαλ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ ᾿Αβιγαία· καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ ἀγαθὴ συνέσει καὶ καλὴ τῷ εἴδει σφόδρα, καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος σκληρὸς καὶ πονηρὸς ἐν ἐπιτηδεύμασι, καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος κυνικός. 4 καὶ ἤκουσε Δαυὶδ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ὅτι κείρει Νάβαλ ὁ Καρμήλιος τὸ ποίμνιον αὐτοῦ, 5 καὶ ἀπέστειλε Δαυὶδ δέκα παιδάρια καὶ εἶπε τοῖς παιδαρίοις· ἀνάβητε εἰς Κάρμηλον καὶ ἀπέλθατε πρὸς Νάβαλ καὶ ἐρωτήσατε αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου εἰς εἰρήνην 6 καὶ ἐρεῖτε τάδε· εἰς ὥρας· καὶ σὺ ὑγιαίνων, καὶ ὁ οἶκός σου, καὶ πάντα τὰ σὰ ὑγιαίνοντα. 7 καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἀκήκοα ὅτι κείρουσί σοι νῦν οἱ ποιμένες σου, οἳ ἦσαν μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκωλύσαμεν αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐκ ἐνετειλάμεθα αὐτοῖς οὐθὲν πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ὄντων αὐτῶν ἐν Καρμήλῳ· 8 ἐρώτησον τὰ παιδάριά σου καὶ ἀπαγγελοῦσί σοι. καὶ εὑρέτωσαν τὰ παιδάρια χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, ὅτι ἐφ᾿ ἡμέραν ἀγαθὴν ἥκομεν· δὸς δὴ ὃ ἐὰν εὕρῃ ἡ χείρ σου τῷ υἱῷ σου τῷ Δαυίδ. 9 καὶ ἔρχονται τὰ παιδάρια καὶ λαλοῦσι τοὺς λόγους τούτους πρὸς Νάβαλ κατὰ πάντα τὰ ρήματα ταῦτα ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Δαυίδ. καὶ ἀνεπήδησε 10 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Νάβαλ τοῖς παισὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ εἶπε· τίς ὁ Δαυὶδ καὶ τίς ὁ υἱὸς ᾿Ιεσσαί; σήμερον πεπληθυμμένοι εἰσὶν οἱ δοῦλοι ἀναχωροῦντες ἕκαστος ἐκ προσώπου τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ. 11 καὶ λήψομαι τοὺς ἄρτους μου καὶ τὸν οἶνόν μου καὶ τὰ θύματά μου, ἃ τέθυκα τοῖς κείρουσί μου τὰ πρόβατα, καὶ δώσω αὐτὰ ἀνδράσιν, οἷς οὐκ οἶδα πόθεν εἰσί; 12 καὶ ἀπεστράφησαν τὰ παιδάρια Δαυὶδ εἰς ὁδὸν αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν καὶ ἦλθον καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν τῷ Δαυὶδ κατὰ τὰ ρήματα ταῦτα. 13 καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ τοῖς ἀνδράσιν αὐτοῦ· ζώσασθε ἕκαστος τὴν ρομφαίαν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἀνέβησαν ὀπίσω Δαυὶδ ὡς τετρακόσιοι ἄνδρες, καὶ οἱ διακόσιοι ἐκάθισαν μετὰ τῶν σκευῶν. 14 καὶ τῇ ᾿Αβιγαίᾳ γυναικὶ Νάβαλ ἀπήγγειλεν ἓν τῶν παιδαρίων λέγων· ἰδοὺ Δαυὶδ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους ἐκ τῆς ἐρήμου εὐλογῆσαι τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐξέκλινεν ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν. 15 καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες ἀγαθοὶ ἡμῖν σφόδρα· οὐκ ἀπεκώλυσαν ἡμᾶς οὐδὲ ἐνετείλαντο ἡμῖν οὐδὲν πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, ἃς ἦμεν παρ᾿ αὐτοῖς· 16 καὶ ἐν τῷ εἶναι ἡμᾶς ἐν ἀγρῷ ὡς τεῖχος ἦσαν περὶ ἡμᾶς καὶ τὴν νύκτα καὶ τὴν ἡμέραν πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, ἃς ἤμεθα παρ᾿ αὐτοῖς ποιμαίνοντες τὸ ποίμνιον. 17 καὶ νῦν γνῶθι καὶ ἰδὲ σὺ τί ποιήσεις, ὅτι συντετέλεσται ἡ κακία εἰς τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν καὶ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ· καὶ οὗτος υἱὸς λοιμός, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι λαλῆσαι πρὸς αὐτόν. 18 καὶ ἔσπευσεν ᾿Αβιγαία καὶ ἔλαβε διακοσίους ἄρτους καὶ δύο ἀγγεῖα οἴνου καὶ πέντε πρόβατα πεποιημένα καὶ πέντε οἰφὶ ἀλφίτου καὶ γόμορ ἓν σταφίδος καὶ διακοσίας παλάθας καὶ ἔθετο ἐπὶ τοὺς ὄνους 19 καὶ εἶπε τοῖς παιδαρίοις αὐτῆς· προπορεύεσθε ἔμπροσθέν μου, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ὀπίσω ὑμῶν παραγίνομαι. καὶ τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς οὐκ ἀπήγγειλε. 20 καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῆς ἐπιβεβηκυίης ἐπὶ τὴν ὄνον καὶ καταβαινούσης ἐν σκέπῃ τοῦ ὄρους καὶ ἰδοὺ Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ κατέβαινον εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀπήντησεν αὐτοῖς· 21 καὶ Δαυὶδ εἶπεν· ἴσως εἰς ἄδικον πεφύλακα πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ οὐκ ἐνετειλάμεθα λαβεῖν ἐκ πάντων τῶν αὐτοῦ οὐθέν, καὶ ἀνταπέδωκέ μοι πονηρὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν· 22 τάδε ποιήσαι ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Δαυὶδ καὶ τάδε προσθείη, εἰ ὑπολείψομαι ἐκ πάντων τῶν τοῦ Νάβαλ ἕως πρωΐ οὐροῦντα πρὸς τοῖχον. 23 καὶ εἶδεν ᾿Αβιγαία τὸν Δαυὶδ καὶ ἔσπευσε καὶ κατεπήδησεν ἀπὸ τῆς ὄνου καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐνώπιον Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν 24 ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν· ἐν ἐμοὶ κύριέ μου ἡ ἀδικία· λαλησάτω δὴ ἡ δούλη σου εἰς τὰ ὦτά σου, καὶ ἄκουσον λόγων τῆς δούλης σου. 25 μὴ δὴ θέσθω ὁ κύριός μου καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸν λοιμὸν τοῦτον, ὅτι κατὰ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ οὗτός ἐστι· Νάβαλ ὄνομα αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀφροσύνη μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐγὼ ἡ δούλη σου οὐκ εἶδον τὰ παιδάρια τοῦ κυρίου μου, ἃ ἀπέστειλας. 26 καὶ νῦν, κύριέ μου, ζῇ Κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου,καθὼς ἐκώλυσέ σε Κύριος τοῦ μὴ ἐλθεῖν εἰς αἷμα ἀθῷον καὶ σώζειν τὴν χεῖρά σού σοι, καὶ νῦν γένοιντο ὡς Νάβαλ οἱ ἐχθροί σου καὶ οἱ ζητοῦντες τῷ κυρίῳ μου κακά. 27 καὶ νῦν λαβὲ τὴν εὐλογίαν ταύτην, ἣν ἐνήνοχεν ἡ δούλη σου τῷ κυρίῳ μου, καὶ δώσεις τοῖς παιδαρίοις τοῖς παρεστηκόσι τῷ κυρίῳ μου. 28 ἆρον δὴ τὸ ἀνόμημα τῆς δούλης σου, ὅτι ποιῶν ποιήσει Κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου οἶκον πιστόν, ὅτι πόλεμον κυρίου μου ὁ Κύριος πολεμεῖ, καὶ κακία οὐχ εὑρεθήσεται ἐν σοὶ πώποτε. 29 καὶ ἀναστήσεται ἄνθρωπος καταδιώκων σε καὶ ζητῶν τὴν ψυχήν σου, καὶ ἔσται ψυχὴ κυρίου μου ἐνδεδεμένη ἐν δεσμῷ τῆς ζωῆς παρὰ Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ, καὶ ψυχὴν ἐχθρῶν σου σφενδονήσεις ἐν μέσῳ τῆς σφενδόνης. 30 καὶ ἔσται ὅτι ποιήσῃ Κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου πάντα, ὅσα ἐλάλησεν ἀγαθὰ ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ ἐντελεῖταί σοι εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραήλ, 31 καὶ οὐκ ἔσται σοι τοῦτο βδελυγμὸς καὶ σκάνδαλον τῷ κυρίῳ μου, ἐκχέαι αἷμα ἀθῷον δωρεὰν καὶ σῶσαι χεῖρα κυρίῳ μου αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀγαθώσει Κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου, καὶ μνησθήσῃ τῆς δούλης σου ἀγαθῶσαι αὐτῇ. 32 καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ τῇ ᾿Αβιγαίᾳ· εὐλογητὸς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ᾿Ισραήλ, ὃς ἀπέστειλέ σε σήμερον ἐν ταύτῃ εἰς ἀπάντησίν μοι. 33 καὶ εὐλογητὸς ὁ τρόπος σου, καὶ εὐλογημένη σὺ ἡ ἀποκωλύσασά με σήμερον ἐν ταύτῃ μὴ ἐλθεῖν εἰς αἵματα καὶ σῶσαι χεῖρά μου ἐμοί. 34 πλὴν ὅτι ζῇ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ᾿Ισραήλ, ὃς ἀπεκώλυσέ με σήμερον τοῦ κακοποιῆσαί σε, ὅτι εἰ μὴ ἔσπευσας καὶ παρεγένου εἰς ἀπάντησίν μοι, τότε εἶπα· εἰ ὑπολειφθήσεται τῷ Νάβαλ ἕως φωτὸς τοῦ πρωΐ οὐρῶν πρὸς τοῖχον. 35 καὶ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῆς πάντα, ἃ ἔφερεν αὐτῷ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· ἀνάβηθι εἰς εἰρήνην εἰς οἶκόν σου· βλέπε, ἤκουσα τῆς φωνῆς σου καὶ ἠρέτισα τὸ πρόσωπόν σου. 36 καὶ παρεγενήθη ᾿Αβιγαία πρὸς Νάβαλ, καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτῷ πότος ἐν οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ ὡς πότος βασιλέως, καὶ ἡ καρδία Νάβαλ ἀγαθὴ ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς μεθύων ἕως σφόδρα· καὶ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ ρῆμα μικρὸν ἢ μέγα ἕως φωτὸς τοῦ πρωΐ. 37 καὶ ἐγένετο πρωΐ, ὡς ἐξένηψεν ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴνου Νάβαλ, ἀπήγγειλεν ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ τὰ ρήματα ταῦτα, καὶ ἐναπέθανεν ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ αὐτὸς γίνεται ὡς λίθος. 38 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡσεὶ δέκα ἡμέραι καὶ ἐπάταξε Κύριος τὸν Νάβαλ, καὶ ἀπέθανε. 39 καὶ ἤκουσε Δαυὶδ καὶ εἶπεν· εὐλογητὸς Κύριος, ὃς ἔκρινε τὴν κρίσιν τοῦ ὀνειδισμοῦ μου ἐκ χειρὸς Νάβαλ, καὶ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ περιεποιήσατο ἐκ χειρὸς κακῶν, καὶ τὴν κακίαν Νάβαλ ἀπέστρεψε Κύριος εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἀπέστειλε Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐλάλησε περὶ ᾿Αβιγαίας, λαβεῖν αὐτὴν ἑαυτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα. 40 καὶ ἦλθον οἱ παῖδες Δαυὶδ πρὸς ᾿Αβιγαίαν εἰς Κάρμηλον καὶ ἐλάλησαν αὐτῇ λέγοντες· Δαυὶδ ἀπέστειλεν ἡμᾶς πρός σε λαβεῖν σε αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα. 41 καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ἡ δούλη σου εἰς παιδίσκην νίψαι πόδας τῶν παίδων σου. 42 καὶ ἀνέστη ᾿Αβιγαία καὶ ἐπέβη ἐπί τὴν ὄνον καὶ πέντε κοράσια ἠκολούθουν αὐτῇ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω τῶν παίδων Δαυίδ, καὶ γίνεται αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα. 43 καὶ τὴν ᾿Αχινόομ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ ἐξ ᾿Ιεζραέλ, καὶ ἀμφότεραι ἦσαν αὐτῷ γυναῖκες. 44 καὶ Σαοὺλ ἔδωκε Μελχὸλ τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκα Δαυὶδ τῷ Φαλτὶ υἱῷ ᾿Αμὶς τῷ ἐκ Ρομμά.

ΚΑΙ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν τοῖς στενοῖς ᾿Εγγαδδί. 2 καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς ἐνέστρεψε Σαοὺλ ἀπὸ ὄπισθεν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ ἀπηγγέλη αὐτῷ λεγόντων, ὅτι Δαυὶδ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ᾿Εγγαδδί. 3 καὶ ἔλαβε μεθ᾿ ἑαυτοῦ τρεῖς χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν ἐκλεκτοὺς ἐκ παντὸς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐπορεύθη ζητεῖν τὸν Δαυὶδ καὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον Σαδαιέμ. 4 καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὰς ἀγέλας τῶν ποιμνίων τὰς ἐπὶ τῆς ὁδοῦ, καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ σπήλαιον, καὶ Σαοὺλ εἰσῆλθε παρασκευάσασθαι· καὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ ἐσώτερον τοῦ σπηλαίου ἐκάθηντο. 5 καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἄνδρες Δαυὶδ πρὸς αὐτόν· ἰδοὺ ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη, ἣν εἶπε Κύριος πρός σε παραδοῦναι τὸν ἐχθρόν σου εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου, καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτῷ ὡς ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου. καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ καὶ ἀφεῖλε τὸ πτερύγιον τῆς διπλοΐδος τοῦ Σαοὺλ λαθραίως. 6 καὶ ἐγενήθη μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἐπάταξε καρδία Δαυὶδ αὐτόν, ὅτι ἀφεῖλε τὸ πτερύγιον τῆς διπλοΐδος αὐτοῦ, 7 καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ· μηδαμῶς μοι παρὰ Κυρίου, εἰ ποιήσω τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο τῷ κυρίῳ μου τῷ χριστῷ Κυρίου ἐπενέγκαι χεῖρά μου ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, ὅτι χριστὸς Κυρίου ἐστὶν οὗτος· 8 καὶ ἔπεισε Δαυὶδ τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ ἐν λόγοις καὶ οὐκ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ἀναστάντας θανατῶσαι τὸν Σαούλ. καὶ ἀνέστη Σαοὺλ καὶ κατέβη τὴν ὁδόν. 9 καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ σπηλαίου, καὶ ἐβόησε Δαυὶδ ὀπίσω Σαοὺλ λέγων· κύριε βασιλεῦ· καὶ ἐπέβλεψε Σαοὺλ εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔκυψε Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ. 10 καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Σαούλ· ἱνατί ἀκούεις τῶν λόγων τοῦ λαοῦ λεγόντων· ἰδοὺ Δαυὶδ ζητεῖ τὴν ψυχήν σου; 11 ἰδοὺ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ ἑωράκασιν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ὡς παρέδωκέ σε Κύριος σήμερον εἰς χεῖράς μου ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ, καὶ οὐκ ἠβουλήθην ἀποκτεῖναί σε καὶ ἐφεισάμην σου καὶ εἶπα· οὐκ ἐποίσω χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ κύριόν μου, ὅτι χριστὸς Κυρίου οὗτός ἐστι. 12 καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ πτερύγιον τῆς διπλοΐδος σου ἐν τῇ χειρί μου· ἐγὼ ἀφῄρηκα τὸ πτερύγιον καὶ οὐκ ἀπέκταγκά σε. καὶ γνῶθι καὶ ἰδὲ σήμερον ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι κακία ἐν τῇ χειρί μου οὐδὲ ἀσέβεια καὶ ἀθέτησις, καὶ οὐχ ἡμάρτηκα εἰς σέ· καὶ σὺ δεσμεύεις τὴν ψυχήν μου λαβεῖν αὐτήν. 13 δικάσαι Κύριος ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ, καὶ ἐκδικήσαι με Κύριος ἐκ σοῦ· καὶ ἡ χείρ μου οὐκ ἔσται ἐπὶ σοί, 14 καθὼς λέγεται ἡ παραβολὴ ἡ ἀρχαία· ἐξ ἀνόμων ἐξελεύσεται πλημμέλεια· καὶ ἡ χείρ μου οὐκ ἔσται ἐπὶ σέ. 15 καὶ νῦν ὀπίσω τίνος σὺ ἐκπορεύῃ, βασιλεῦ ᾿Ισραήλ; ὀπίσω τίνος καταδιώκεις σύ; ὀπίσω κυνὸς τεθνηκότος καὶ ὀπίσω ψύλλου ἑνός; 16 γένοιτο Κύριος εἰς κριτὴν καὶ δικαστὴν ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον σοῦ· ἴδοι Κύριος καὶ κρίναι τὴν κρίσιν μου καὶ δικάσαι μοι ἐκ χειρός σου. 17 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς συνετέλεσε Δαυὶδ τὰ ρήματα ταῦτα λαλῶν πρὸς Σαούλ, καὶ εἶπε Σαούλ· ἡ φωνή σου αὕτη τέκνον Δαυίδ; καὶ ᾖρε Σαοὺλ τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔκλαυσε. 18 καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς Δαυίδ· δίκαιος σὺ ὑπὲρ ἐμέ, ὅτι σὺ ἀνταπέδωκάς μοι ἀγαθά, ἐγὼ δὲ ἀνταπέδωκά σοι κακά. 19 καὶ σὺ ἀπήγγειλάς μοι σήμερον ἃ ἐποίησάς μοι ἀγαθά, ὡς ἀπέκλεισέ με Κύριος εἰς χεῖράς σου σήμερον καὶ οὐκ ἀπέκτεινάς με· 20 καὶ ὅτι εἰ εὕροι τις τὸν ἐχθρὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν θλίψει καὶ ἐκπέμψει αὐτὸν ἐν ὁδῷ ἀγαθῇ, καὶ Κύριος ἀποτίσει αὐτῷ ἀγαθά, καθὼς πεποίηκας σήμερον. 21 καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ γινώσκω ὅτι βασιλεύων βασιλεύσεις καὶ στήσεται ἐν χειρί σου ἡ βασιλεία ᾿Ισραήλ. 22 καὶ νῦν ὄμοσόν μοι ἐν Κυρίῳ ὅτι οὐκ ἐξολοθρεύσεις τὸ σπέρμα μου ὀπίσω μου, οὐκ ἀφανιεῖς τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός μου. 23 καὶ ὤμοσε Δαυὶδ τῷ Σαούλ. καὶ ἀπῆλθε Σαοὺλ εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ ἀνέβησαν εἰς τὴν Μεσσαρὰ στενήν.

ΚΑΙ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Δαυὶδ λέγοντες· ἰδοὺ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι πολεμοῦσιν ἐν τῇ Κεϊλά, καὶ αὐτοὶ διαρπάζουσι, καταπατοῦσι τοὺς ἅλω. 2 καὶ ἐπηρώτησε Δαυὶδ διὰ τοῦ Κυρίου λέγων· εἰ πορευθῶ καὶ πατάξω τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους τούτους; καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· πορεύου καὶ πατάξεις ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις τούτοις καὶ σώσεις τὴν Κεϊλά. 3 καὶ εἶπαν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ Δαυὶδ πρὸς αὐτόν· ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ἐνταῦθα ἐν τῇ ᾿Ιουδαίᾳ φοβούμεθα, καὶ πῶς ἔσται ἐὰν πορευθῶμεν εἰς Κεϊλά; εἰς τὰ σκῦλα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων εἰσπορευσόμεθα; 4 καὶ προσέθετο Δαυὶδ ἔτι ἐπερωτῆσαι διὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ Κύριος καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀνάστηθι καὶ κατάβηθι εἰς Κεϊλά, ὅτι ἐγὼ παραδίδωμι τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους εἰς χεῖράς σου. 5 καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ εἰς Κεϊλὰ καὶ ἐπολέμησε τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις, καὶ ἔφυγον ἐκ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπήγαγε τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτοῖς πληγὴν μεγάλην, καὶ ἔσωσε Δαυὶδ τούς κατοικοῦντας Κεϊλά. 6 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ φεύγειν ᾿Αβιάθαρ υἱὸν ᾿Αβιμέλεχ πρὸς Δαυὶδ καὶ αὐτὸς μετὰ Δαυὶδ εἰς Κεϊλὰ κατέβη ἔχων ἐφοὺδ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ. 7 καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαοὺλ ὅτι ἥκει ὁ Δαυὶδ εἰς Κεϊλά, καὶ εἶπε Σαούλ· πέπρακεν αὐτὸν ὁ Θεὸς εἰς τὰς χεῖράς μου, ὅτι ἀποκέκλεισται εἰσελθὼν εἰς πόλιν θυρῶν καὶ μοχλῶν. 8 καὶ παρήγγειλε Σαοὺλ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ καταβαίνειν εἰς πόλεμον εἰς Κεϊλὰ συνέχειν τὸν Δαυὶδ καὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ. 9 καὶ ἔγνω Δαυὶδ ὅτι οὐ παρασιωπᾷ Σαοὺλ περὶ αὐτοῦ τὴν κακίαν, καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς ᾿Αβιάθαρ τὸν ἱερέα· προσάγαγε τὸ ἐφοὺδ Κυρίου. 10 καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ᾿Ισραήλ, ἀκούων ἀκήκοεν ὁ δοῦλός σου ὅτι ζητεῖ Σαοὺλ ἐλθεῖν ἐπὶ Κεϊλὰ διαφθεῖραι τὴν πόλιν δι᾿ ἐμέ. 11 εἰ ἀποκλεισθήσεται; καὶ νῦν εἰ καταβήσεται Σαούλ, καθὼς ἤκουσεν ὁ δοῦλός σου; Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ᾿Ισραήλ, ἀπάγγειλον τῷ δούλῳ σου. καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· ἀποκλεισθήσεται.* 13 καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ὡς τετρακόσιοι καὶ ἐξῆλθον ἐκ Κεϊλὰ καὶ ἐπορεύοντο οὗ ἐὰν ἐπορεύοντο· καὶ τῷ Σαοὺλ ἀπηγγέλη ὅτι, διασέσωσται Δαυὶδ ἐκ Κεϊλά, καὶ ἀνῆκε τοῦ ἐλθεῖν. 14 Καὶ ἐκάθισε Δαυὶδ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἐν Μασερὲμ ἐν τοῖς στενοῖς, καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Ζίφ, ἐν τῇ γῇ τῇ αὐχμώδει· καὶ ἐζήτει αὐτὸν Σαοὺλ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, καὶ οὐ παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν Κύριος εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ. 15 καὶ εἶδε Δαυὶδ ὅτι ἐξέρχεται Σαοὺλ τοῦ ζητεῖν τὸν Δαυίδ· καὶ Δαυὶδ ἦν ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ αὐχμώδει ἐν τῇ Καινῇ Ζίφ. 16 καὶ ἀνέστη ᾿Ιωνάθαν υἱὸς Σαοὺλ καὶ ἐπορεύθη πρὸς Δαυὶδ εἰς Καινὴν καὶ ἐκραταίωσε τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐν Κυρίῳ. 17 καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· μὴ φοβοῦ, ὅτι οὐ μὴ εὕρῃ σε ἡ χεὶρ Σαοὺλ τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ σὺ βασιλεύσεις ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἐγὼ ἔσομαί σοι εἰς δεύτερον· καὶ Σαοὺλ ὁ πατήρ μου οἶδεν οὕτως. 18 καὶ διέθεντο ἀμφότεροι διαθήκην ἐνώπιον Κυρίου. καὶ ἀκάθητο Δαυὶδ ἐν Καινῇ, καὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν ἀπῆλθεν εἰς οἶκον αὐτοῦ. 19 Καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ Ζιφαῖοι ἐκ τῆς αὐχμώδους πρὸς Σαοὺλ ἐπὶ τὸν βουνὸν λέγοντες· οὐκ ἰδοὺ Δαυὶδ κέκρυπται παρ᾿ ἡμῖν ἐν Μεσσαρά, ἐν τοῖς στενοῖς, ἐν τῇ Καινῇ ἐν τῷ βουνῷ τοῦ ᾿Εχελὰ τοῦ ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ ᾿Ιεσσαιμοῦν; 20 καὶ νῦν πᾶν τὸ πρὸς ψυχὴν τοῦ βασιλέως εἰς κατάβασιν καταβαινέτω πρὸς ἡμᾶς· κεκλείκασιν αὐτὸν εἰς χεῖρας τοῦ βασιλέως. 21 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Σαούλ· εὐλογημένοι ὑμεῖς τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι ἐπονέσατε περὶ ἐμοῦ· 22 πορεύθητε δὴ καὶ ἑτοιμάσατε ἔτι καὶ γνῶτε τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ, οὗ ἔσται ὁ ποὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν τάχει ἐκεῖ, οὗ εἴπατε, μή ποτε πανουργεύσηται· 23 καὶ ἴδετε καὶ γνῶτε, καὶ πορεύσομαι μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἔσται εἰ ἔστιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐξερευνήσω αὐτὸν ἐν πάσαις χιλιάσιν ᾿Ιούδα. 24 καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ Ζιφαῖοι καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἔμπροσθεν Σαούλ· καὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τῇ Μαὰν καθ᾿ ἑσπέραν ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ ᾿Ιεσσαιμοῦν. 25 καὶ ἐπορεύθη Σαοὺλ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ ζητεῖν αὐτόν· καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ Δαυίδ, καὶ κατέβη εἰς τὴν πέτραν τὴν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ Μαάν. καὶ ἤκουσε Σαοὺλ καὶ κατεδίωξεν ὀπίσω Δαυὶδ εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Μαάν. 26 καὶ πορεύονται Σαοὺλ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ ἐκ μέρους τοῦ ὄρους τούτου, καὶ ἦν Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ ἐκ μέρους τοῦ ὄρους τούτου· καὶ ἦν Δαυὶδ σκεπαζόμενος πορεύεσθαι ἀπὸ προσώπου Σαούλ, καὶ Σαοὺλ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ παρενέβαλον ἐπὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ συλλαβεῖν αὐτούς. 27 καὶ πρὸς Σαοὺλ ἦλθεν ἄγγελος λέγων· σπεῦδε καὶ δεῦρο, ὅτι ἀλλόφυλοι ἐπέθεντο ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν. 28 καὶ ἀνέστρεψε Σαοὺλ μὴ καταδιώκειν ὀπίσω Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς συνάντησιν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων· διὰ τοῦτο ἐπεκλήθη ὁ τόπος ἐκεῖνος Πέτρα ἡ μερισθεῖσα.

ΚΑΙ ἀπῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν Δαυὶδ καὶ διεσώθη καὶ ἔρχεται εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ ᾿Οδολλάμ. καὶ ἀκούουσιν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ καταβαίνουσι πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ. 2 καὶ 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. 3 καὶ 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. 4 καὶ παρεκάλεσε τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦβασιλέως Μωάβ, καὶ κατῴκουν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ὄντος τοῦ Δαυὶδ ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ. 5 καὶ εἶπε Γὰδ ὁ προφήτης πρὸς Δαυίδ· μὴ κάθου ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ, πορεύου καὶ ἥξεις εἰς γῆν ᾿Ιούδα. καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυὶδ καὶ ἦλθε καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν πόλει Σαρίχ. 6 Καὶ 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. 7 καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ τοὺς παρεστηκότας αὐτῷ· ἀκούσατε δὴ υἱοὶ Βενιαμίν· εἰ ἀληθῶς πᾶσιν ὑμῖν δώσει ὁ υἱὸς ᾿Ιεσσαὶ ἀγροὺς καὶ ἀμπελῶνας καὶ πάντας ὑμᾶς τάξει ἑκατοντάρχους καὶ χιλιάρχους; 8 ὅτι σύγκεισθε πάντες ὑμεῖς ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἀποκαλύπτων τὸ ὠτίον μου ἐν τῷ διαθέσθαι τὸν υἱόν μου διαθήκην μετὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ ᾿Ιεσσαί, 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. 9 καὶ ἀποκρίνεται Δωὴκ ὁ Σύρος ὁ καθεστηκὼς ἐπὶ τὰς ἡμιόνους Σαοὺλ καὶ εἶπεν· ἑώρακα τὸν υἱὸν ᾿Ιεσσαὶ παραγινόμενον εἰς Νομβὰ πρὸς ᾿Αβιμέλεχ υἱὸν ᾿Αχιτὼβ τὸν ἱερέα, 10 καὶ ἠρώτα αὐτῷ διά τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἐπισιτισμὸν ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ καὶ τὴν ρομφαίαν Γολιὰθ τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ. 11 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καλέσαι τὸν ᾿Αβιμέλεχ υἱὸν ᾿Αχιτὼβ καὶ πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ τοὺς ἱερεῖς τοὺς ἐν Νομβά, καὶ παρεγένοντο πάντες πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα. 12 καὶ εἶπε Σαούλ· ἄκουε δή, υἱὲ ᾿Αχιτώβ· καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ἐγώ, λάλει κύριε. 13 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Σαούλ· ἱνατί συνέθου κατ᾿ ἐμοῦ σὺ καὶ ὁ υἱὸς ᾿Ιεσσαὶ δοῦναί σε αὐτῷ ἄρτον καὶ ρομφαίαν καὶ ἐρωτᾶν αὐτῷ διὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ θέσθαι αὐτὸν ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ εἰς ἐχθρόν, ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη; 14 καὶ 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; 15 ἦ 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. 16 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαούλ· θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ, ᾿Αβιμέλεχ, σὺ καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός σου. 17 καὶ 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. 18 καὶ 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. 19 καὶ τὴν Νομβὰ τὴν πόλιν τῶν ἱερέων ἐπάταξεν ἐν στόματι ρομφαίας ἀπ᾿ ἀνδρὸς ἕως γυναικός, ἀπὸ νηπίου ἕως θηλάζοντος καὶ μόσχου καὶ ὄνου καὶ προβάτου. 20 καὶ διασώζεται υἱὸς εἷς τῷ ᾿Αβιμέλεχ υἱῷ ᾿Αχιτώβ, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ ᾿Αβιάθαρ, καὶ ἔφυγεν ὀπίσω Δαυίδ. 21 καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν ᾿Αβιάθαρ τῷ Δαυίδ, ὅτι ἐθανάτωσε Σαοὺλ πάντας τοὺς ἱερεῖς τοῦ Κυρίου. 22 καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ τῷ ᾿Αβιάθαρ· ᾔδειν ὅτι ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὅτι Δωὴκ ὁ Σύρος ὅτι ἀπαγγέλλων ἀπαγγελεῖ τῷ Σαούλ· ἐγώ εἰμι αἴτιος τῶν ψυχῶν οἴκου τοῦ πατρός σου· 23 κάθου μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ, μὴ φοβοῦ, ὅτι οὗ ἐὰν ζητῶ τῇ ψυχῇ μου τόπον, ζητήσω καὶ τῇ ψυχῇ σου, ὅτι πεφύλαξαι σὺ παρ᾿ ἐμοί.

ΚΑΙ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ καὶ ἀπῆλθε, καὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν. 2 καὶ ἔρχεται Δαυὶδ εἰς Νομβὰ πρὸς ᾿Αβιμέλεχ τὸν ἱερέα. καὶ ἐξέστη ᾿Αβιμέλεχ τῇ ἀπαντήσει αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· τί ὅτι σὺ μόνος καὶ οὐθεὶς μετὰ σοῦ; 3 καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ τῷ ἱερεῖ· ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐντέταλταί μοι ρῆμα σήμερον καὶ εἶπέ μοι· μηδεὶς γνώτω τὸ ρῆμα, περὶ οὗ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω σε καὶ ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐγὼ ἐντέταλμαί σοι· καὶ τοῖς παιδαρίοις διαμεμαρτύρημαι ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τῷ λεγομένῳ Θεοῦ πίστις, Φελλανὶ ᾿Αλεμωνί· καὶ νῦν εἰ εἰσὶν ὑπὸ τὴν χεῖρά σου πέντε ἄρτοι, δὸς εἰς χεῖρά μου τὸ εὑρεθέν. 4 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἱερεὺς τῷ Δαυίδ, καὶ εἶπεν· οὐκ εἰσὶν ἄρτοι βέβηλοι ὑπὸ τὴν χεῖρά μου, ὅτι ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἄρτοι ἅγιοί εἰσιν· εἰ πεφυλαγμένα τὰ παιδάριά ἐστιν ἀπὸ γυναικός, καὶ φάγεται. 5 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Δαυὶδ τῷ ἱερεῖ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ γυναικὸς ἀπεσχήμεθα ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν· ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν με εἰς ὁδὸν γέγονε πάντα τὰ παιδία ἡγνισμένα, καὶ αὐτὴ ἡ ὁδὸς βέβηλος, διότι ἁγιασθήσεται σήμερον διὰ τὰ σκεύη μου. 6 καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ᾿Αβιμέλεχ ὁ ἱερεὺς τοὺς ἄρτους τῆς προθέσεως, ὅτι οὐκ ἦν ἐκεῖ ἄρτος, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἄρτοι τοῦ προσώπου οἱ ἀφῃρημένοι ἐκ προσώπου Κυρίου τοῦ παρατεθῆναι ἄρτον θερμὸν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἔλαβεν αὐτούς. 7 καὶ ἐκεῖ ἦν ἓν τῶν παιδαρίων τοῦ Σαοὺλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ συνεχόμενος νεεσσαρὰν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Δωὴκ ὁ Σύρος νέμων τὰς ἡμιόνους Σαούλ. 8 καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς ᾿Αβιμέλεχ· ἰδὲ εἰ ἔστιν ἐνταῦθα ὑπὸ τὴν χεῖρά σου δόρυ ἢ ρομφαία, ὅτι τὴν ρομφαίαν μου καὶ τὰ σκεύη οὐκ εἴληφα ἐν τῇ χειρί μου, ὅτι ἦν τὸ ρῆμα τοῦ βασιλέως κατὰ σπουδήν. 9 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἱερεύς· ἰδοὺ ἡ ρομφαία Γολιὰθ τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου, ὃν ἐπάταξας ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι ᾿Ηλά, καὶ αὐτὴν ἐνειλημμένη ἦν ἐν ἱματίῳ· εἰ ταύτην λήψῃ, σεαυτῷ λαβέ, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἑτέρα πάρεξ ταύτης ἐνταῦθα. καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ὥσπερ αὐτή, δός μοι αὐτήν. 10 καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν αὐτῷ· καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ καὶ ἔφυγεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐκ προσώπου Σαούλ. Καὶ ἦλθε Δαυὶδ πρὸς ᾿Αγχοῦς βασιλέα Γέθ. 11 καὶ εἶπον οἱ παῖδες ᾿Αγχοῦς πρὸς αὐτόν· οὐχὶ οὗτος Δαυὶδ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῆς γῆς; οὐχὶ τούτῳ ἐξῆρχον αἱ χορεύουσαι λέγουσαι· ἐπάταξε Σαοὺλ ἐν χιλιάσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ Δαυὶδ ἐν μυριάσιν αὐτοῦ; 12 καὶ ἔθετο Δαυὶδ τὰ ρήματα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐφοβήθη σφόδρα ἀπὸ προσώπου ᾿Αγχοῦς βασιλέως Γέθ. 13 καὶ ἠλλοίωσε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ καὶ προσεποιήσατο ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἐτυμπάνιζεν ἐπὶ ταῖς θύραις τῆς πόλεως καὶ παρεφέρετο ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔπιπτεν ἐπὶ τὰς θύρας τῆς πύλης, καὶ τὰ σίελα αὐτοῦ κατέρρει ἐπὶ τὸν πώγωνα αὐτοῦ. 14 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αγχοῦς πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ· ἰδοὺ ἴδετε ἄνδρα ἐπίληπτον, ἱνατί εἰσηγάγετε αὐτὸν πρός με; 15 μὴ ἐλαττοῦμαι ἐπιλήπτων ἐγώ, ὅτι εἰσαγηόχατε αὐτὸν ἐπιληπτεύεσθαι πρός με; οὗτος οὐκ εἰσελεύσεται εἰς οἰκίαν.
