And David said in his heart, Now shall I be one day delivered [for death] into the hands of Saul; and there is no good thing for me unless I should escape into the land of the Philistines, and Saul should cease from seeking me through every coast of Israel: so I shall escape out of his hand.

ΚΑΙ εἶπε Δαυὶδ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ λέγων· νῦν προστεθήσομαι ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ εἰς χεῖρας Σαούλ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι μοι ἀγαθόν, ἐὰν μὴ σωθῶ εἰς γῆν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἀνῇ Σαοὺλ τοῦ ζητεῖν με εἰς πᾶν ὅριον ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ σωθήσομαι ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ.

И҆ речѐ даві́дъ въ се́рдцы свое́мъ, глаго́лѧ: нн҃ѣ впадꙋ̀ въ де́нь є҆ди́нъ въ рꙋ́ки саꙋ̑ли, и҆ не бꙋ́детъ мѝ бла́го, а҆́ще не спасꙋ́сѧ въ землѝ и҆ноплеме́нничи, и҆ преста́нетъ саꙋ́лъ и҆ска́ти менѐ во всѧ́комъ предѣ́лѣ і҆и҃левѣ, и҆ спасꙋ́сѧ и҆з̾ рꙋкѝ є҆гѡ̀.

2

So David arose, and the six hundred men that were with him, and he went to Anchus, son of Ammach, king of Geth.

καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἑξακόσιοι ἄνδρες οἱ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπορεύθη πρὸς ᾿Αγχοῦς υἱὸν ᾿Αμμὰχ βασιλέα Γέθ.

И҆ воста̀ даві́дъ и҆ ше́сть сѡ́тъ мꙋже́й и҆̀же съ ни́мъ, и҆ и҆́де ко а҆гхꙋ́сꙋ сы́нꙋ а҆мма́ховꙋ царю̀ ге́ѳскꙋ.

3

And David dwelt with Anchus, he and his men, each with his family; and David and both his wives, Achinaam, the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

καὶ ἐκάθισε Δαυὶδ μετὰ ᾿Αγχοῦς, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ, ἕκαστος καὶ ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ, καὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ ἀμφότεραι αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτοῦ, ᾿Αχινὰαχ ᾿Ιεζραηλῖτις καὶ ᾿Αβιγαία ἡ γυνὴ Νάβαλ τοῦ Καρμηλίου.

И҆ пребы́сть даві́дъ ᲂу҆ а҆гхꙋ́са въ ге́ѳѣ, са́мъ и҆ мꙋ́жїе є҆гѡ̀ всѝ и҆ до́мъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ даві́дъ и҆ ѻ҆́бѣ жєны̀ є҆гѡ̀, а҆хїнаа́мъ і҆езраилі́тынѧ и҆ а҆вїге́а жена̀ нава́ла карми́льскагѡ.

4

And it was told Saul that David had fled to Geth; and he no longer sought after him

καὶ ἀνηγγέλη τῷ Σαοὺλ ὅτι πέφευγε Δαυὶδ εἰς Γέθ, καὶ οὐ προσέθετο ἔτι ζητεῖν αὐτόν.

И҆ возвѣсти́ша саꙋ́лꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿбѣжѐ даві́дъ въ ге́ѳъ, и҆ не приложѝ ктомꙋ̀ (саꙋ́лъ) и҆ска́ти є҆го̀.

5

And David said to Anchus, If now thy servant has found grace in thine eyes, let them give me, I pray thee, a place in one of the cities in the country, and I will dwell there: for why does thy servant dwell with thee in a royal city?

καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς ᾿Αγχοῦς· εἰ δή εὕρηκεν ὁ δοῦλός σου χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, δότωσαν δή μοι τόπον ἐν μιᾷ τῶν πόλεων τῶν κατ᾿ ἀγρὸν καὶ καθήσομαι ἐκεῖ· καὶ ἱνατί κάθηται ὁ δοῦλός σου ἐν πόλει βασιλευομένη μετὰ σοῦ;

И҆ речѐ даві́дъ ко а҆гхꙋ́сꙋ: а҆́ще ѡ҆брѣ́те ра́бъ тво́й благода́ть пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма твои́ма, да да́си мѝ мѣ́сто во є҆ди́нѣмъ ѿ градѡ́въ и҆̀же на селѣ̀, и҆ сѧ́дꙋ та́мѡ: и҆ вскꙋ́ю сѣди́тъ ра́бъ тво́й во гра́дѣ ца́рственнѣмъ съ тобо́ю;

6

And he gave him Sekelac in that day: therefore Sekelac came into possession of the king of Judea to this day.

καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τὴν Σεκελάκ· διὰ τοῦτο ἐγενήθη Σεκελὰκ τῷ βασιλεῖ τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

И҆ дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀ а҆гхꙋ́съ въ де́нь то́й секела́гъ: сегѡ̀ ра́ди бы́сть царю̀ і҆ꙋде́йскꙋ секела́гъ до дне́шнѧгѡ днѐ.

7

And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was four months.

καὶ ἐγενήθη ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν ἡμερῶν, ὧν ἐκάθισε Δαυὶδ ἐν ἀγρῷ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τέσσαρας μῆνας.

И҆ бы́сть число̀ дні́й, въ нѧ́же сѣдѧ́ше даві́дъ на селѣ̀ и҆ноплеме́нничи, четы́ри мцⷭ҇ы.

8

And David and his men went up, and made an attack on all the Gesirites and on the Amalekites: and behold, the land was inhabited, (even the land from Gelampsur) by those who come from the fortified [cities] even to the land of Egypt.

καὶἀνέβαινε Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπετίθεντο ἐπὶ πάντα τὸν Γεσιρὶ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Αμαληκίτην· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ γῆ κατῳκεῖτο ἀπὸ ἀνηκόντων ἡ ἀπὸ Γελαμψοὺρ τετειχισμένων καὶ ἕως γῆς Αἰγύπτου.

И҆ восхожда́ше даві́дъ и҆ мꙋ́жїе є҆гѡ̀ и҆ напада́хꙋ на всѧ́каго гессе́ра и҆ на а҆маликі́та, и҆ сѐ, землѧ̀ населѧ́шесѧ ѿ ламсꙋ́ра и҆ до землѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ:

9

And he smote the land, and saved neither man nor woman alive; and they took flocks, and herds, and asses, and camels, and raiment; and they returned and came to Anchus.

καὶ ἔτυπτε τὴν γῆν καὶ οὐκ ἐζωογόνει ἄνδρα ἢ γυναῖκα καὶ ἐλάμβανον ποίμνια καὶ βουκόλια καὶ ὄνους καὶ καμήλους καὶ ἱματισμόν, καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν καὶ ἤρχοντο πρὸς ᾿Αγχοῦς.

и҆ поража́ше даві́дъ зе́млю, и҆ не ѡ҆ставлѧ́ше въ живы́хъ мꙋ́жеска по́лꙋ и҆ же́нска: и҆ взима́хꙋ стада̀, и҆ бꙋ́йвѡлицы и҆ ѻ҆слѧ́та, и҆ вельблю́ды и҆ ри̑зы, и҆ возвраща́ющесѧ прихожда́хꙋ ко а҆гхꙋ́сꙋ.

10

And Anchus said to David, On whom have ye made an attack to-day? And David said to Anchus, On the south of Judea, and on the south of Jesmega, and on the south of the Kenezite.

καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αγχοῦς πρὸς Δαυίδ· ἐπὶ τίνα ἐπέθεσθε σήμερον; καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς ᾿Αγχοῦς· κατὰ νότον τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας καὶ κατὰ νότον ᾿Ιεσμεγὰ καὶ κατὰ νότον τοῦ Κενεζί.

И҆ речѐ а҆гхꙋ́съ къ даві́дꙋ: на кого̀ нападо́сте нн҃ѣ; И҆ речѐ даві́дъ ко а҆гхꙋ́сꙋ: къ ю҆́гꙋ і҆ꙋде́и и҆ къ ю҆́гꙋ і҆есмегѝ и҆ къ ю҆́гꙋ кенезі́а:

11

And I have not saved man or woman alive to bring them to Geth, saying, Lest they carry a report to Geth against us, saying, These things David does. And this was his manner all the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines.

καὶ ἄνδρα καὶ γυναῖκα οὐκ ἐζωογόνησα τοῦ εἰσαγαγεῖν εἰς Γὲθ λέγων· μὴ ἀναγγείλωσιν εἰς Γὲθ καθ᾿ ἡμῶν λέγοντες· τάδε Δαυὶδ ποιεῖ, καὶ τόδε τὸ δικαίωμα αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, ἃς ἐκάθητο Δαυὶδ ἐν ἀγρῷ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.

и҆ мꙋ́жеска по́лꙋ и҆ же́нска не ѡ҆ставлѧ́хъ въ живы́хъ є҆́же вводи́ти въ ге́ѳъ, глаго́лѧ: да не возвѣстѧ́тъ въ ге́ѳѣ на на́съ, глаго́люще: сїѧ̑ твори́тъ даві́дъ. И҆ сїѐ ѡ҆правда́нїе є҆гѡ̀ во всѧ̑ дни̑, въ нѧ́же сѣдѧ́ше даві́дъ на селѣ̀ и҆ноплеме́нничи.

12

So David had the full confidence of Anchus, who said, He is thoroughly disgraced among his people in Israel and he shall be my servant for ever.

καὶ ἐπιστεύθη Δαυὶδ ἐν τῷ ᾿Αγχοῦς σφόδρα λέγων· ᾔσχυνται αἰσχυνόμενος ἐν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ ἐν ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἔσται μοι δοῦλος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

И҆ ᲂу҆вѣ́рисѧ даві́дъ а҆гхꙋ́сꙋ ѕѣлѡ̀, глаго́лѧ: ѡ҆мерзѣ́нїемъ ѡ҆мерзѣ̀ въ лю́дехъ свои́хъ во і҆и҃ли, и҆ бꙋ́детъ мѝ ра́бъ во вѣ́ки.
