I Samuel

1 Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshing floors.

1 καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Δαυὶδ λέγοντες ἰδοὺ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι πολεμοῦσιν ἐν τῇ Κεϊλά, καὶ αὐτοὶ διαρπάζουσιν, καταπατοῦσιν τοὺς ἅλω.	1 Καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Δαυὶδ λέγοντες· ἰδοὺ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι πολεμοῦσιν ἐν τῇ Κεϊλά, καὶ αὐτοὶ διαρπάζουσι, καταπατοῦσι τοὺς ἅλω.
1 And it was told to David, saying, “Look! the allophyles are fighting in Keila, and they are plundering, they are trampling the threshing floors.”	1 And it was told to David, saying, “Look! the allophyles are fighting in Keila, and they are plundering, they are trampling the threshing floors.”

2 Therefore David inquired of Yahweh, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And Yahweh said to David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.

2 καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν Δαυὶδ διὰ τοῦ κυρίου λέγων εἰ πορευθῶ καὶ πατάξω τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους τούτους; καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πορεύου καὶ πατάξεις ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις τούτοις καὶ σώσεις τὴν Κεϊλά.	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.
2 And David inquired by the Lord, saying, “Shall I go and attack these allophyles?” And the Lord said, “Go, and you shall attack among these allophyles and rescue Keila.”	2 And David inquired by the Lord, saying, “Shall I go and attack these allophyles?” And the Lord said, “Go, and you shall attack among these allophyles and rescue Keila.”

3 And David’s men said to him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?

3 καὶ εἶπαν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ Δαυὶδ πρὸς αὐτόν ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ἐνταῦθα ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ φοβούμεθα, καὶ πῶς ἔσται ἐὰν πορευθῶμεν εἰς Κεϊλά; εἰς τὰ σκῦλα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων εἰσπορευσόμεθα.	3 καὶ εἶπαν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ Δαυὶδ πρὸς αὐτόν· ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ἐνταῦθα ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ φοβούμεθα, καὶ πῶς ἔσται ἐὰν πορευθῶμεν εἰς Κεϊλά; εἰς τὰ σκῦλα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων εἰσπορευσόμεθα;
3 And David’s men said to him, “Look! we are afraid here in Judea, and how will it be if we go to Keila? We shall enter into the spoils of the allophyles.”	3 And David’s men said to him, “Look! we are afraid here in Judea, and how will it be if we go to Keila? We shall enter into the spoils of the allophyles.”

4 Then David inquired of Yahweh yet again. And Yahweh answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.

4 καὶ προσέθετο Δαυὶδ ἐρωτῆσαι ἔτι διὰ τοῦ κυρίου, καὶ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ κύριος καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν ἀνάστηθι καὶ κατάβηθι εἰς Κεϊλά, ὅτι ἐγὼ παραδίδωμι τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους εἰς χεῖράς σου.	4 καὶ προσέθετο Δαυὶδ ἔτι ἐπερωτῆσαι διὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ Κύριος καὶ εἶπε αὐτῷ· ἀνάστηθι καὶ κατάβηθι εἰς Κεϊλά, ὅτι ἐγὼ παραδίδωμι τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους εἰς χεῖράς σου.
4 And David continued to inquire again by the Lord, and the Lord answered him and said to him, “Arise, and go down to Keila, because I am giving the allophyles into your hands.”	4 And David continued to inquire again by the Lord, and the Lord answered him and said to him, “Arise, and go down to Keila, because I am giving the allophyles into your hands.”

5 So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

5 καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς Κεϊλὰ καὶ ἐπολέμησεν ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις, καὶ ἔφυγον ἐκ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπήγαγεν τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτοῖς πληγὴν μεγάλην, καὶ ἔσωσεν Δαυὶδ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Κεϊλά.	5 καὶ ἐπορεύθης 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.
5 And David went, and the men who were with him, to Keila and fought with the allophyles, and they fled from before him, and he carried away their livestock and struck a great blow among them. And David rescued the inhabitants of Keila.	5 And David went, and the men who were with him, to Keila and fought with the allophyles, and they fled from before him, and he carried away their livestock and struck a great blow among them. And David rescued the inhabitants of Keila.

6 And it happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.

6 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ φυγεῖν Ἀβιαθὰρ υἱὸν Ἀβιμέλεχ πρὸς Δαυὶδ καὶ αὐτὸς μετὰ Δαυὶδ εἰς Κεϊλὰ κατέβη ἔχων ἐφοὺδ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ.	6 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ φεύγειν Ἀβιάθαρ υἱὸν Ἀβιμέλεχ πρὸς Δαυὶδ καὶ αὐτὸς μετὰ Δαυὶδ εἰς Κεϊλὰ κατέβη ἔχων ἐφοὺδ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ.
6 And it happened, when Abiathar son of Abimelech fled to David, that he came down with David to Keila having an ephod in his hand.	6 And it happened, when Abiathar son of Abimelech fled to David, that he came down with David to Keila having an ephod in his hand.

7 And it was told Saul that David came to Keilah. And Saul said, God has delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that has gates and bars.

7 καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαοὺλ ὅτι ἥκει Δαυὶδ εἰς Κεϊλά, καὶ εἶπεν Σαοὺλ πέπρακεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεὸς εἰς χεῖράς μου, ὅτι ἀποκέκλεισται εἰσελθὼν εἰς πόλιν θυρῶν καὶ μοχλῶν.	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.
7 And it was told Saoul that David had come to Keila, and Saoul said, “God has sold him into my hands, for he has shut himself in having entered a city of doors and bars.”	7 And it was told Saoul that David had come to Keila, and Saoul said, “God has sold him into my hands, for he has shut himself in having entered a city of doors and bars.”

8 And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.

8 καὶ παρήγγειλεν Σαοὺλ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ εἰς πόλεμον καταβαίνειν εἰς Κεϊλὰ συνέχειν τὸν Δαυὶδ καὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ.	8 καὶ παρήγγειλε Σαοὺλ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ καταβαίνειν εἰς πόλεμον εἰς Κεϊλὰ συνέχειν τὸν Δαυὶδ καὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ.
8 And Saoul summoned all the people to war to go down to Keila to besiege David and his men.	8 And Saoul summoned all the people to war to go down to Keila to besiege David and his men.

9 And David knew that Saul secretly practised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring here the ephod.

9 καὶ ἔγνω Δαυὶδ ὅτι οὐ παρασιωπᾷ Σαοὺλ περὶ αὐτοῦ τὴν κακίαν, καὶ εἶπεν Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ἀβιαθὰρ τὸν ἱερέα προσάγαγε τὸ ἐφοὺδ κυρίου.	9 καὶ ἔγνω Δαυὶδ ὅτι οὐ παρασιωπᾷ Σαοὺλ περὶ αὐτοῦ τὴν κακίαν, καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ἀβιάθαρ τὸν ἱερέα· προσάγαγε τὸ ἐφοὺδ Κυρίου.
9 And David learned that Saoul was not keeping quiet about his evil, and David said to the priest Abiathar, “Bring the ephod of the Lord.”	9 And David learned that Saoul was not keeping quiet about his evil, and David said to the priest Abiathar, “Bring the ephod of the Lord.”

10 Then said David, Oh Yahweh Elohim of Israēl, your servant has certainly heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.

10 καὶ εἶπεν Δαυὶδ κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραήλ, ἀκούων ἀκήκοεν ὁ δοῦλός σου ὅτι ζητεῖ Σαοὺλ ἐλθεῖν ἐπὶ Κεϊλὰ διαφθεῖραι τὴν πόλιν δι’ ἐμέ.	10 καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ, ἀκούων ἀκήκοεν ὁ δοῦλός σου ὅτι ζητεῖ Σαοὺλ ἐλθεῖν ἐπὶ Κεϊλὰ διαφθεῖραι τὴν πόλιν δι’ ἐμέ.
10 And David said, “Oh Lord, the God of Israēl, while hearing your slave has heard that Saoul seeks to come to Keila to destroy the city because of me.	10 And David said, “Oh Lord, the God of Israēl, while hearing your slave has heard that Saoul seeks to come to Keila to destroy the city because of me.

11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? Oh Yahweh Elohim of Israēl, I beseech you, tell your servant. And Yahweh said, He will come down.

11 εἰ ἀποκλεισθήσεται; καὶ νῦν εἰ καταβήσεται Σαούλ, καθὼς ἤκουσεν ὁ δοῦλός σου; κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραήλ, ἀπάγγειλον τῷ δούλῳ σου. καὶ εἶπεν κύριος ἀποκλεισθήσεται.	11 εἰ ἀποκλεισθήσεται; καὶ νῦν εἰ καταβήσεται Σαούλ, καθὼς ἤκουσεν ὁ δοῦλός σου; Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ, ἀπάγγειλον τῷ δούλῳ σου. καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· ἀποκλεισθήσεται.
11 Will it be shut up? And now, will Saoul come down as your slave has heard? Oh Lord, the God of Israēl, tell your slave.” And the Lord said, “It will be shut up.”	11 Will it be shut up? And now, will Saoul come down as your slave has heard? Oh Lord, the God of Israēl, tell your slave.” And the Lord said, “It will be shut up.”

12 Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And Yahweh said, They will deliver you up.

12 N/A	12 καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· εἰ παραδώσουσι παρὰ τῆς Κεϊλὰ ἐμὲ καὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας μου εἰς χεῖρας Σαούλ; καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· παραδώσουσι.
12 N/A	12 Then David said, Will they of Keila betray me and my men into the hands of Saul? Then the Lord said, They will betray.

13 Then David and his men, which were about 600, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went wherever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbear to go forth.

13 καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ὡς τετρακόσιοι καὶ ἐξῆλθον ἐκ Κεϊλὰ καὶ ἐπορεύοντο οὗ ἐὰν ἐπορεύθησαν· καὶ τῷ Σαοὺλ ἀπηγγέλη ὅτι διασέσωται Δαυὶδ ἐκ Κεϊλά, καὶ ἀνῆκεν τοῦ ἐξελθεῖν.	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.
13 And David arose, and the men who were with him, about 400, and they departed from Keila, and they kept going wherever they went, and it was told Saoul that David had escaped from Keila, and he ceased to go out.	13 And David arose, and the men who were with him, about 400, and they departed from Keila, and they kept going wherever they went, and it was told Saoul that David had escaped from Keila, and he ceased to go out.

14 And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.

14 καὶ ἐκάθισεν Δαυὶδ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἐν Μασερὲμ ἐν τοῖς στενοῖς καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Ζὶφ ἐν τῇ γῇ τῇ αὐχμώδει· καὶ ἐζήτει αὐτὸν Σαοὺλ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, καὶ οὐ παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν κύριος εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ.	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.
14 And David settled in the wilderness in Maserem at the narrows, and he sat in the wilderness in Mount Ziph in the dry land, and Saoul kept seeking him all the days, and the Lord did not give him into his hands.	14 And David settled in the wilderness in Maserem at the narrows, and he sat in the wilderness in Mount Ziph in the dry land, and Saoul kept seeking him all the days, and the Lord did not give him into his hands.

15 And David saw that Saul came out to seek his life; and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.

15 καὶ εἶδεν Δαυὶδ ὅτι ἐξέρχεται Σαοὺλ τοῦ ζητεῖν τὸν Δαυίδ· καὶ Δαυὶδ ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ αὐχμώδει ἐν τῇ Καινῇ Ζίφ.	15 καὶ εἶδε Δαυὶδ ὅτι ἐξέρχεται Σαοὺλ τοῦ ζητεῖν τὸν Δαυίδ· καὶ Δαυὶδ ἦν ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ αὐχμώδει ἐν τῇ Καινῇ Ζίφ.
15 And David saw that Saoul is coming out to seek David, and David was in the dry mountain in New Ziph.	15 And David saw that Saoul is coming out to seek David, and David was in the dry mountain in New Ziph.

16 And Jonathan Saul’s son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.

16 καὶ ἀνέστη Ἰωνάθαν υἱὸς Σαοὺλ καὶ ἐπορεύθη πρὸς Δαυὶδ εἰς Καινὴν καὶ ἐκραταίωσεν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐν κυρίῳ.	16 καὶ ἀνέστη Ἰωνάθαν υἱὸς Σαοὺλ καὶ ἐπορεύθης πρὸς Δαυὶδ εἰς Καινὴν καὶ ἐκραταίωσε τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐν Κυρίῳ.
16 And Saoul’s son Jōnathan arose and departed to David at New and strengthened his hands in the Lord.	16 And Saoul’s son Jōnathan arose and departed to David at New and strengthened his hands in the Lord.

17 And he said to him, Fear not; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you; and you shall be king over Israēl, and I shall be next to you; and that also Saul my father knows.

17 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν μὴ φοβοῦ, ὅτι οὐ μὴ εὕρῃ σὲ ἡ χεὶρ Σαοὺλ τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ σὺ βασιλεύσεις ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐγὼ ἔσομαί σοί εἰς δεύτερον· καὶ Σαοὺλ ὁ πατήρ μου οἶδεν οὕτως.	17 καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· μὴ φοβοῦ, ὅτι οὐ μὴ εὕρῃ σε ἡ χεὶρ Σαοὺλ τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ σὺ βασιλεύσεις ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐγὼ ἔσομαί σοι εἰς δεύτερον· καὶ Σαοὺλ ὁ πατήρ μου οἶδεν οὕτως.
17 And he said to him, “Don't be afraid, for the hand of my father Saoul shall not find you, and you shall be king over Israēl, and I shall be second to you, and my father Saoul knows that this is so.”	17 And he said to him, “Don't be afraid, for the hand of my father Saoul shall not find you, and you shall be king over Israēl, and I shall be second to you, and my father Saoul knows that this is so.”

18 And they two made a covenant before Yahweh; and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.

18 καὶ διέθεντο ἀμφότεροι διαθήκην ἐνώπιον κυρίου. καὶ ἐκάθητο Δαυὶδ ἐν Καινῇ, καὶ Ἰωνάθαν ἀπῆλθεν εἰς οἶκον αὐτοῦ.	18 καὶ διέθεντο ἀμφότεροι διαθήκην ἐνώπιον Κυρίου. καὶ ἐκάθητο Δαυὶδ ἐν Καινῇ, καὶ Ἰωνάθαν ἀπῆλθεν εἰς οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
18 And both of them made a covenant before the Lord, and David sat at New, and Jōnathan departed to his house.	18 And both of them made a covenant before the Lord, and David sat at New, and Jōnathan departed to his house.

19 Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doesn’t David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?

19 καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ Ζιφαῖοι ἐκ τῆς αὐχμώδους πρὸς Σαοὺλ ἐπὶ τὸν βουνὸν λέγοντες οὐκ ἰδοὺ Δαυὶδ κέκρυπται παρ’ ἡμῖν ἐν Μεσσαρὰ ἐν τοῖς στενοῖς ἐν τῇ Καινῇ ἐν τῷ βουνῷ τοῦ Ἐχελὰ τοῦ ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ Ἰεσσαιμούν;	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 Ἐχελὰ τοῦ ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ Ἰεσσαιμοῦν;
19 And the Ziphaites from the dry country went up to Saoul on the hill, saying, “Look! is David not hiding among us in Messara in the narrows in New in the hill of Echela, which is on the right side of Jessaimoun?	19 And the Ziphaites from the dry country went up to Saoul on the hill, saying, “Look! is David not hiding among us in Messara in the narrows in New in the hill of Echela, which is on the right side of Jessaimoun?

20 Now therefore, Oh king, come down according to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king’s hand.

20 καὶ νῦν πᾶν τὸ πρὸς ψυχὴν τοῦ βασιλέως εἰς κατάβασιν καταβαινέτω πρὸς ἡμᾶς· κεκλείκασιν αὐτὸν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας τοῦ βασιλέως.	20 καὶ νῦν πᾶν τὸ πρὸς ψυχὴν τοῦ βασιλέως εἰς κατάβασιν καταβαινέτω πρὸς ἡμᾶς· κεκλείκασιν αὐτὸν εἰς χεῖρας τοῦ βασιλέως.
20 And now, as for everything that is on the king’s soul for a descent, let him descend to us; they have shut him up into the king’s hands.”	20 And now, as for everything that is on the king’s soul for a descent, let him descend to us; they have shut him up into the king’s hands.”

21 And Saul said, Blessed be of Yahweh; for you have mercy on me.

21 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Σαοὺλ εὐλογημένοι ὑμεῖς τῷ κυρίῳ, ὅτι ἐπονέσατε περὶ ἐμοῦ·	21 καὶ εἶπε αὐτοῖς Σαούλ· εὐλογημένοι ὑμεῖς τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι ἐπονέσατε περὶ ἐμοῦ·
21 And Saoul said to them, “May you be blessed to the Lord, for you were sorry for me.	21 And Saoul said to them, “May you be blessed to the Lord, for you were sorry for me.

22 Go, please, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for it is told me that he deals very craftily.

22 πορεύθητε δὴ καὶ ἑτοιμάσατε ἔτι καὶ γνῶτε τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ, οὗ ἔσται ὁ ποὺς αὐτοῦ, ἐν τάχει ἐκεῖ οὗ εἴπατε, μήποτε πανουργεύσηται·	22 πορεύθητε δὴ καὶ ἑτοιμάσατε ἔτι καὶ γνῶτε τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ, οὗ ἔσται ὁ ποὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν τάχει ἐκεῖ, οὗ εἴπατε, μή ποτε πανουργεύσηται·
22 Please go, and prepare once more, and know his place where his foot will be, quickly there where you said, lest he be cunning.	22 Please go, and prepare once more, and know his place where his foot will be, quickly there where you said, lest he be cunning.

23 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides himself, and come you again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you; and it will happen, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.

23 καὶ ἴδετε καὶ γνῶτε, καὶ πορευσόμεθα μεθ’ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἔσται εἰ ἔστιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐξερευνήσω αὐτὸν ἐν πάσαις χιλιάσιν Ἰούδα.	23 καὶ ἴδετε καὶ γνῶτε, καὶ πορεύσομαι μεθ’ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἔσται εἰ ἐστιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐξερευνήσω αὐτὸν ἐν πάσαις χιλιάσιν Ἰούδα.
23 And look, and know, and we will go with you, and it will be, if he is in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands of Jouda.”	23 And look, and know, and we will go with you, and it will be, if he is in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands of Jouda.”

24 And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.

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 Ἰεσσαιμούν.	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 Ἰεσσαιμοῦν.
24 And the Ziphaites rose up and departed ahead of Saoul, and David and his men were in the Maan wilderness in the evening to the right of Jessaimoun.	24 And the Ziphaites rose up and departed ahead of Saoul, and David and his men were in the Maan wilderness in the evening to the right of Jessaimoun.

25 Saul also and his men went to seek him. And they told David; therefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.

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 ἤκουσεν Σαοὺλ καὶ κατεδίωξεν ὀπίσω Δαυὶδ εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Μαάν.	25 καὶ ἐπορεύθης 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.
25 And Saoul departed, and his men, to search for him, and they reported to David, and he went down to the rock that is in the wilderness of Maan. And Saoul heard and pursued after David into the wilderness of Maan.	25 And Saoul departed, and his men, to search for him, and they reported to David, and he went down to the rock that is in the wilderness of Maan. And Saoul heard and pursued after David into the wilderness of Maan.

26 And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men all around to take them.

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.	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.
26 And Saoul and his men are going on one side of this mountain, and David and his men were on the other side of this mountain. And David was sheltering himself to depart from before Saoul, and Saoul and his men encamped against David and his men to capture them.	26 And Saoul and his men are going on one side of this mountain, and David and his men were on the other side of this mountain. And David was sheltering himself to depart from before Saoul, and Saoul and his men encamped against David and his men to capture them.

27 But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste you, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.

27 καὶ ἄγγελος πρὸς Σαοὺλ ἦλθεν λέγων σπεῦδε καὶ δεῦρο, ὅτι ἐπέθεντο οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.	27 καὶ πρὸς Σαοὺλ ἦλθεν ἄγγελος λέγων· σπεῦδε καὶ δεῦρο, ὅτι ἀλλόφυλοι ἐπέθεντο ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
27 And a messenger came to Saoul, saying, “Hurry, and come, for the allophyles have attacked the land.”	27 And a messenger came to Saoul, saying, “Hurry, and come, for the allophyles have attacked the land.”

28 Therefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines; therefore they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth.

28 καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν Σαοὺλ μὴ καταδιώκειν ὀπίσω Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς συνάντησιν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων· διὰ τοῦτο ἐπεκλήθη ὁ τόπος ἐκεῖνος Πέτρα ἡ μερισθεῖσα.	28 καὶ ἀνέστρεψε Σαοὺλ μὴ καταδιώκειν ὀπίσω Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐπορεύθης εἰς συνάντησιν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων· διὰ τοῦτο ἐπεκλήθη ὁ τόπος ἐκεῖνος Πέτρα ἡ μερισθεῖσα.
28 And Saoul turned back from pursuing after David and went to meet the allophyles; therefore that place was called the Divided Rock.	28 And Saoul turned back from pursuing after David and went to meet the allophyles; therefore that place was called the Divided Rock.

29 [LM 24:1] And David went up from there, and dwelt in strong holds at En-gedi.

29 [LM 24:1] καὶ ἀνέβη Δαυὶδ ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν τοῖς στενοῖς Ἐγγαδδί.	29 [LM 24:1] καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν τοῖς στενοῖς Ἐγγαδδί.
29 [LM 24:1] And David went up from there and settled in the narrows of Engaddi.	29 [LM 24:1] And David rose up from there, and dwelt in the narrow passes of Engaddi.
