사무엘상 23

1혹이 다윗에게 고하여 가로되 보소서 블레셋 사람이 그일라를 쳐서 그 타작 마당을 탈취하더이다 2이에 다윗이 여호와께 묻자와 가로되 내가 가서 이 블레셋 사람을 치리이까 여호와께서 다윗에게 이르시되 가서 블레셋 사람을 치고 그일라를 구원하라 하시니 3다윗의 사람들이 그에게 이르되 보소서 우리가 유다에 있기도 두렵거든 하물며 그일라에 가서 블레셋 사람의 군대를 치는 일이리이까 4다윗이 여호와께 다시 묻자온대 여호와께서 대답하여 가라사대 일어나 그일라로 내려가라 내가 블렛셋 사람을 네 손에 붙이리라 하신지라 5다윗과 그의 사람들이 그일라로 가서 블레셋 사람과 싸워 그들을 크게 도륙하고 그들의 가축을 끌어오니라 다윗이 이와 같이 그일라 거민을 구원하니라 6아히멜렉의 아들 아비아달이 그일라 다윗에게로 도망할 때에 손에 에봇을 가지고 내려왔었더라 7다윗이 그일라에 온 것을 혹이 사울에게 고하매 사울이 가로되 하나님이 그를 내 손에 붙이셨도다 그가 문과 문빗장이 있는 성에 들어갔으니 갇혔도다 8사울이 모든 백성을 군사로 불러 모으고 그일라로 내려가서 다윗과 그의 사람들을 에워싸려 하더니 9다윗이 사울의 자기를 해하려 하는 계교를 알고 제사장 아비아달에게 이르되 에봇을 이리로 가져오라 하고 10다윗이 가로되 이스라엘 하나님 여호와여 사울이 나의 연고로 이성을 멸하려고 그일라로 내려오기를 꾀한다 함을 주의 종이 분명히 들었나이다 11그일라 사람들이 나를 그의 손에 붙이겠나이까 주의 종의 들은 대로 사울이 내려 오겠나이까 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와여 원컨대 주의 종에게 일러 주옵소서 여호와께서 가라사대 그가 내려 오리라 12다윗이 가로되 그일라 사람들이 나와 내 사람들을 사울의 손에 붙이겠나이까 여호와께서 가라사대 그들이 너를 붙이리라 13다윗과 그의 사람 육백 명 가량이 일어나 그일라를 떠나서 갈 수 있는 곳으로 갔더니 다윗이 그일라에서 피한 것을 혹이 사울에게 고하매 사울이 가기를 그치니라 14다윗이 황무지 요새에도 있었고 또 십 황무지 산골에도 유하였으므로 사울이 매일 찾되 하나님이 그를 그의 손에 붙이지 아니하시니라 15다윗이 사울의 자기 생명을 찾으려고 나온 것을 보았으므로 그가 십 황무지 수풀에 있었더니 16사울의 아들 요나단이 일어나 수풀에 들어가서 다윗에게 이르러 그로 하나님을 힘있게 의지하게 하였는데 17곧 요나단이 그에게 이르기를 두려워 말라 내 부친 사울의 손이 네게 미치지 못할 것이요 너는 이스라엘 왕이 되고 나는 네 다음이 될 것을 내 부친 사울도 안다 하니라 18두 사람이 여호와 앞에서 언약하고 다윗은 수풀에 거하고 요나단은 자기 집으로 돌아가니라 19때에 십 사람들이 기브아에 이르러 사울에게 나아와 가로되 다윗이 우리와 함께 광야 남편 하길라 산 수풀 요새에 숨지 아니하였나이까 20그러하온즉 왕은 내려오시기를 원하시는 대로 내려 오소서 그를 왕의 손에 붙일 것이 우리의 의무니이다 21사울이 가로되 너희가 나를 긍휼히 여겼으니 여호와께 복받기를 원하노라 22혹이 내게 말하기를 그가 심히 공교히 행동한다 하나니 너희는 가서 더 자세히 살펴서 그가 어디 은적하였으며 누가 거기서 그를 보았는지 알아보고 23그가 숨어 있는 모든 곳을 탐지하고 실상을 내게 회보하라 내가 너희와 함께 가리니 그가 이 땅에 있으면 유다 천천인 중에서 그를 찾아내리라 24그들이 일어나 사울보다 먼저 십으로 가니라 다윗과 그의 사람들이 광야 남편 마온 황무지 아라바에 있더니 25사울과 그의 사람들이 찾으러 온 것을 혹이 다윗에게 고하매 이에 다윗이 바위로 내려 마온 황무지에 있더니 사울이 듣고 마온 황무지로 다윗을 따라가서는 26사울이 산 이편으로 가매 다윗과 그의 사람들은 산 저편으로 가며 다윗이 사울을 두려워하여 급히 피하려 하였으니 이는 사울과 그의 사람들이 다윗과 그의 사람들을 에워싸고 잡으려 함이었더라 27사자가 사울에게 와서 가로되 급히 오소서 블레셋 사람이 땅을 침노하나이다 28이에 사울이 다윗 쫓기를 그치고 돌아와서 블레셋 사람을 치러 갔으므로 그곳을 셀라하마느곳이라 칭하니라 29다윗이 거기서 올라가서 엔게디 요새에 거하니라

1David was told, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors.” 2Therefore David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go and strike these Philistines?” Yahweh said to David, “Go strike the Philistines, and save Keilah.” 3David’s men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?” 4Then David inquired of Yahweh yet again. Yahweh answered him, and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.” 5David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their livestock, and killed them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah. 6When Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came down with an ephod in his hand. 7It was told Saul that David had come to Keilah. Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that has gates and bars.” 8Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men. 9David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.” 10Then David said, “O Yahweh, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake. 11Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? Yahweh, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant.” Yahweh said, “He will come down.” 12Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” Yahweh said, “They will deliver you up.” 13Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went wherever they could go. It was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he gave up going there. 14David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God didn’t deliver him into his hand. 15David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the wood. 16Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose, and went to David into the woods, and strengthened his hand in God. 17He said to him, “Don’t be afraid; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you; and you shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you; and that also Saul my father knows.” 18They both made a covenant before Yahweh: and David stayed in the woods, and Jonathan went to his house. 19Then the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert? 20Now therefore, O king, come down, according to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him up into the king’s hand.” 21Saul said, “You are blessed by Yahweh; for you have had compassion on me. 22Please go make yet more sure, 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 subtly. 23See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides himself, and come again to me with certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah.” 24They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert. 25Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard that, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon. 26Saul 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 to take them. 27But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come; for the Philistines have made a raid on the land!” 28So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela Hammahlekoth. 29David went up from there, and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.

1En men boodschapte David, zeggende: Zie, de Filistijnen strijden tegen Kehila, en zij beroven de schuren. 2En David vraagde den HEERE, zeggende: Zal ik heengaan en deze Filistijnen slaan? En de HEERE zeide tot David: Ga heen, en gij zult de Filistijnen slaan en Kehila verlossen. 3Doch de mannen Davids zeiden tot hem: Zie, wij vrezen hier in Juda; hoeveel te meer, als wij naar Kehila tegen der Filistijnen slagorden gaan zullen. 4Toen vraagde David den HEERE nog verder; en de HEERE antwoordde hem en zeide: Maak u op, trek af naar Kehila; want Ik geef de Filistijnen in uw hand. 5Alzo toog David en zijn mannen naar Kehila, en hij streed tegen de Filistijnen, en dreef hun vee weg, en hij sloeg onder hen een groten slag; alzo verloste David de inwoners van Kehila. 6En het geschiedde, toen Abjathar, de zoon van Achimelech, tot David vluchtte naar Kehila, dat hij afkwam met den efod in zijn hand. 7Als aan Saul te kennen gegeven werd, dat David te Kehila gekomen was, zo zeide Saul: God heeft hem in mijn hand overgegeven, want hij is besloten, komende in een stad met poorten en grendelen. 8Toen liet Saul al het volk ten strijde roepen, dat zij aftogen naar Kehila, om David en zijn mannen te belegeren. 9Als nu David verstond, dat Saul dit kwaad tegen hem heimelijk voorhad, zeide hij tot den priester Abjathar: Breng den efod herwaarts. 10En David zeide: HEERE, God van Israel! Uw knecht heeft zekerlijk gehoord, dat Saul zoekt naar Kehila te komen, en de stad te verderven om mijnentwil. 11Zullen mij ook de burgers van Kehila in zijn hand overgeven? Zal Saul afkomen, gelijk als Uw knecht gehoord heeft? O HEERE, God van Israel, geef het toch Uw knecht te kennen! De HEERE nu zeide: Hij zal afkomen. 12Daarna zeide David: Zouden de burgers van Kehila mij en mijn mannen overgeven in de hand van Saul? En de HEERE zeide: Zij zouden u overgeven. 13Toen maakte zich David en zijn mannen op, omtrent zeshonderd man, en zij gingen uit Kehila, en zij gingen heen, waar zij konden gaan. Toen aan Saul geboodschapt werd, dat David uit Kehila ontkomen was, zo hield hij op uit te trekken. 14David nu bleef in de woestijn in de vestingen, en hij bleef op den berg in de woestijn Zif; en Saul zocht hem alle dagen, doch God gaf hem niet over in zijn hand. 15Als David zag, dat Saul uitgetogen was, om zijn ziel te zoeken, zo was David in de woestijn Zif in een woud. 16Toen maakte zich Jonathan, de zoon van Saul, op, en hij ging tot David in het woud; en hij versterkte zijn hand in God. 17En hij zeide tot hem: Vrees niet, want de hand van Saul, mijn vader, zal u niet vinden, maar gij zult koning worden over Israel, en ik zal de tweede bij u zijn; ook weet mijn vader Saul zulks wel. 18En die beiden maakten een verbond voor het aangezicht des HEEREN; en David bleef in het woud, maar Jonathan ging naar zijn huis. 19Toen togen de Zifieten op tot Saul naar Gibea, zeggende: Heeft zich niet David bij ons verborgen in de vestingen in het woud, op den heuvel van Hachila, die aan de rechterhand der wildernis is? 20Nu dan, o koning, kom spoedig af naar al de begeerte uwer ziel; en het komt ons toe hem over te geven in de hand des konings. 21Toen zeide Saul: Gezegend zijt gijlieden den HEERE, dat gij u over mij ontfermd hebt! 22Gaat toch heen, en bereidt de zaak nog meer, dat gij weet en beziet zijn plaats, waar zijn gang is, wie hem daar gezien heeft; want hij heeft tot mij gezegd, dat hij zeer listiglijk pleegt te handelen. 23Daarom ziet toe, en verneemt naar alle schuilplaatsen, in dewelke hij schuilt; komt dan weder tot mij met vast bescheid, zo zal ik met ulieden gaan; en het zal geschieden, zo hij in het land is, zo zal ik hem naspeuren onder alle duizenden van Juda. 24Toen maakten zij zich op, en zij gingen naar Zif voor het aangezicht van Saul. David nu en zijn mannen waren in de woestijn van Maon, in het vlakke veld, aan de rechterhand der wildernis. 25Saul en zijn mannen gingen ook om te zoeken. Dat werd David geboodschapt, die van dien rotssteen afgegaan was, en bleef in de woestijn van Maon. Toen Saul dat hoorde, jaagde hij David na in de woestijn van Maon. 26En Saul ging aan deze zijde des bergs, en David en zijn mannen aan gene zijde des bergs. Het geschiedde nu, dat zich David haastte, om te ontgaan van het aangezicht van Saul; en Saul en zijn mannen omsingelden David en zijn mannen, om die te grijpen. 27Doch daar kwam een bode tot Saul, zeggende: Haast u, en kom, want de Filistijnen zijn in het land gevallen. 28Toen keerde zich Saul van David na te jagen, en hij toog den Filistijnen tegemoet; daarom noemde men die plaats Sela-Machlekoth.
