사무엘상 30

1다윗과 그의 사람들이 제삼일에 시글락에 이를 때에 아말렉 사람들이 이미 남방과 시글락을 침노하였는데 그들이 시글락을 쳐서 불사르고 2거기 있는 대소 여인들을 하나도 죽이지 아니하고 다 사로잡아 끌고 자기 길을 갔더라 3다윗과 그의 사람들이 성에 이르러 본즉 성이 불탔고 자기들의 아내와 자녀들이 사로잡혔는지라 4다윗과 그와 함께 한 백성이 울 기력이 없도록 소리를 높여 울었더라 5(다윗의 두 아내 이스르엘 여인 아히노암과 갈멜 사람 나발의 아내 되었던 아비가일도 사로잡혔더라) 6백성이 각기 자녀들을 위하여 마음이 슬퍼서 다윗을 돌로 치자 하니 다윗이 크게 군급하였으나 그 하나님 여호와를 힘입고 용기를 얻었더라 7다윗이 아히멜렉의 아들 제사장 아비아달에게 이르되 청컨대 에봇을 내게로 가져오라 아비아달이 에봇을 다윗에게로 가져오매 8다윗이 여호와께 묻자와 가로되 내가 이 군대를 쫓아가면 미치겠나이까 여호와께서 대답하시되 쫓아가라 네가 반드시 미치고 정녕 도로 찾으리라 9이에 다윗과 그와 함께 한 육백 명이 가서 브솔 시내에 이르러는 뒤 떨어진 자를 거기 머물렀으되 10곧 피곤하여 브솔 시내를 건너지 못하는 이백 인을 머물렀고 다윗은 사백 인을 거느리고 쫓아가니라 11무리가 들에서 애굽 사람 하나를 만나 다윗에게로 데려다가 떡을 주어 먹게 하며 물을 마시우고 12무화과 뭉치에서 뗀 덩이 하나와 건포도 두 송이를 주었으니 그가 낮 사흘, 밤 사흘을 떡도 먹지 못하였고 물도 마시지 못하였음이라 그가 먹고 정신을 차리매 13다윗이 그에게 이르되 너는 뉘게 속하였으며 어디로서냐 가로되 나는 애굽 소년이요 아말렉 사람의 종이더니 사흘 전에 병이 들매 주인이 나를 버렸나이다 14우리가 그렛 사람의 남방과 유다에 속한 지방과 갈멜 남방을 침노하고 시글락을 불살랐나이다 15다윗이 그에게 이르되 네가 나를 그 군대에게로 인도하겠느냐 그가 가로되 당신이 나를 죽이지도 아니하고 내 주인의 수중에 붙이지도 아니하겠다고 하나님으로 맹세하소서 그리하면 내가 당신을 이 군대에게로 인도하리이다 16그가 인도하여 내려가니 그들이 온 땅에 편만하여 블레셋 사람의 땅과 유다 땅에서 크게 탈취하였음을 인하여 먹고 마시며 춤추는지라 17다윗이 새벽부터 이튿날 저물때까지 그들을 치매 약대 타고 도망한 소년 사백 명 외에는 피한 사람이 없었더라 18다윗이 아말렉 사람의 취하였던 모든 것을 도로 찾고 그 두 아내를 구원하였고 19그들의 탈취하였던 것 곧 무리의 자녀들이나 빼앗겼던 것의 대소를 물론하고 아무 것도 잃은 것이 없이 다윗이 도로 찾아왔고 20또 양떼와 소떼를 다 탈취하였더니 무리가 그 가축 앞에 몰고 가며 가로되 이는 다윗의 탈취한 것이라 하였더라 21다윗이 이왕에 피곤하여 능히 자기를 따르지 못하므로 브솔 시내에 머물게 한 이백 인에게 오매 그들이 다윗과 그와 함께 한 백성을 영접하러 나온지라 다윗이 그 백성에게 이르러 문안하매 22다윗과 함께 갔던 자 중에 악한 자와 비류들이 다 가로되 그들이 우리와 함께 가지 아니하였은즉 우리가 도로 찾은 물건은 무엇이든지 그들에게 주지 말고 각 사람의 처자만 주어서 데리고 떠나가게 하라 하는지라 23다윗이 가로되 나의 형제들아 여호와께서 우리를 보호하시고 우리를 치러 온 그 군대를 우리 손에 붙이셨은즉 그가 우리에게 주신 것을 너희가 이같이 못하리라 24이 일에 누가 너희를 듣겠느냐 전장에 내려갔던 자의 분깃이나 소유물 곁에 머물렀던 자의 분깃이 일반일지니 같이 분배할 것이니라 하고 25그 날부터 다윗이 이것으로 이스라엘의 율례와 규례를 삼았더니 오늘까지 이르니라 26다윗이 시글락에 이르러 탈취물을 그 친구 유다 장로들에게 보내어 가로되 보라 여호와의 원수에게서 탈취한 것을 너희에게 선사하노라 하고 27벧엘에 있는 자와 남방 라못에 있는 자와 얏딜에 있는 자와 28아로엘에 있는 자와 십못에 있는 자와 에스드모아에 있는 자와 29라갈에 있는 자와 여라므엘 사람의 성읍들에 있는 자와 겐 사람의 성읍들에 있는 자와 30홀마에 있는 자와 고라산에 있는 자와 아닥에 있는 자와 헤브론에 있는 자에게와 다윗과 그의 사람들의 왕래하던 모든 곳에 보내었더라 31(없음)

1When David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid on the South, and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire, 2and had taken captive the women and all who were therein, both small and great. They didn’t kill any, but carried them off, and went their way. 3When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive. 4Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep. 5David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. 6David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in Yahweh his God. 7David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring me here the ephod.” Abiathar brought the ephod to David. 8David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue; for you shall surely overtake them, and shall without fail recover all.” 9So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed. 10But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn’t go over the brook Besor. 11They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink. 12They gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights. 13David asked him, “To whom do you belong? Where are you from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick. 14We made a raid on the South of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.” 15David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this troop?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop.” 16When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great plunder that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah. 17David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled. 18David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives. 19There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither plunder, nor anything that they had taken to them. David brought back all. 20David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, “This is David’s plunder.” 21David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to stay at the brook Besor; and they went out to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. When David came near to the people, he greeted them. 22Then all the wicked men and base fellows, of those who went with David, answered and said, “Because they didn’t go with us, we will not give them anything of the plunder that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away, and depart.” 23Then David said, “You shall not do so, my brothers, with that which Yahweh has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand. 24Who will listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who tarries by the baggage: they shall share alike.” 25It was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day. 26When David came to Ziklag, he sent of the plunder to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, “Behold, a present for you of the plunder of the enemies of Yahweh.” 27He sent it to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramoth of the South, and to those who were in Jattir, 28and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa, 29and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites, 30and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Borashan, and to those who were in Athach, 31and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.

1Het geschiedde nu, als David en zijn mannen den derden dag te Ziklag kwamen, dat de Amalekieten in het zuiden en te Ziklag ingevallen waren, en Ziklag geslagen, en dezelve met vuur verbrand hadden; 2En dat zij de vrouwen, die daarin waren, gevankelijk weggevoerd hadden; doch zij hadden niemand doodgeslagen, van den kleinste tot den grootste, maar hadden ze weggevoerd en waren huns weegs gegaan. 3En David en zijn mannen kwamen aan de stad, en ziet, zij was met vuur verbrand; en hun vrouwen, en hun zonen en hun dochteren waren gevankelijk weggevoerd. 4Toen hief David en het volk, dat bij hem was, hun stem op, en weenden, tot dat er geen kracht meer in hen was om te wenen. 5Davids beide vrouwen waren ook gevankelijk weggevoerd, Ahinoam, de Jizreelietische, en Abigail, de huisvrouw van Nabal, den Karmeliet. 6En David werd zeer bang, want het volk sprak van hem te stenigen; want de zielen van het ganse volk waren verbitterd, een iegelijk over zijn zonen en over zijn dochteren; doch David sterkte zich in den HEERE, zijn God. 7En David zeide tot den priester Abjathar, den zoon van Achimelech: Breng mij toch den efod hier. En Abjathar bracht den efod tot David. 8Toen vraagde David den HEERE, zeggende: Zal ik deze bende achternajagen? Zal ik ze achterhalen? En Hij zeide tot hem: Jaag na, want gij zult gewisselijk achterhalen, en gij zult gewisselijk verlossen. 9David dan ging heen, hij en de zes honderd mannen, die bij hem waren; en als zij kwamen aan de beek Besor, zo bleven de overigen staan. 10En David vervolgde hen, hij en die vierhonderd mannen; en tweehonderd mannen bleven staan, die zo moede waren, dat zij over de beek Besor niet konden gaan. 11En zij vonden een Egyptischen man op het veld, en zij brachten hem tot David; en zij gaven hem brood, en hij at, en zij gaven hem water te drinken. 12Zij gaven hem ook een stuk van een klomp vijgen, en twee stukken rozijnen; en hij at, en zijn geest kwam weder in hem; want hij had in drie dagen en drie nachten geen brood gegeten, noch water gedronken. 13Daarna zeide David tot hem: Wiens zijt gij? En van waar zijt gij? Toen zeide de Egyptische jongen: Ik ben de knecht van een Amalekietischen man, en mijn heer heeft mij verlaten, omdat ik voor drie dagen krank geworden ben. 14Wij waren ingevallen tegen het zuiden van de Cherethieten, en op hetgeen van Juda is, en tegen het zuiden van Kaleb; en wij hebben Ziklag met vuur verbrand. 15Toen zeide David tot hem: Zoudt gij mij wel henen afleiden tot deze bende? Hij dan zeide: Zweer mij bij God, dat gij mij niet zult doden, en dat gij mij niet zult overleveren in de hand mijns heren! Zo zal ik u tot deze bende afleiden. 16En hij leidde hem af, en ziet, zij lagen verstrooid over de ganse aarde, etende, en drinkende, en dansende, om al den groten buit, dien zij genomen hadden uit het land der Filistijnen, en uit het land van Juda. 17En David sloeg hen van de schemering tot aan den avond van hunlieder anderen dag; en er ontkwam niet een man van hen, behalve vierhonderd jonge mannen, die op kemelen reden en vloden. 18Alzo redde David al wat de Amalekieten genomen hadden; ook redde David zijn twee vrouwen. 19En onder hen werd niet gemist van den kleinste tot aan den grootste, en tot aan de zonen en dochteren; en van den buit, ook tot alles, wat zij van hen genomen hadden; David bracht het altemaal weder. 20David nam ook al de schapen en de runderen; zij dreven ze voor datzelve vee heen, en zeiden: Dit is Davids buit. 21Als David tot de tweehonderd mannen kwam, die zo moede waren geweest, dat zij David niet hadden kunnen navolgen, en die zij aan de beek Besor hadden laten blijven, die gingen David tegemoet, en het volk, dat bij hem was, tegemoet; en David trad tot het volk, en hij vraagde hen naar den welstand. 22Toen antwoordde een ieder boos en Belials man onder de mannen, die met David getogen waren, en zij zeiden: Omdat zij met ons niet getogen zijn, zullen wij hun van den buit, dien wij gered hebben, niet geven, maar aan een iegelijk zijn vrouw en zijn kinderen; laat hen die heenleiden, en weggaan. 23Maar David zeide: Alzo zult gij niet doen, mijn broeders, met hetgeen ons de HEERE gegeven heeft, en Hij heeft ons bewaard, en heeft de bende, die tegen ons kwam, in onze hand gegeven. 24Wie zou toch ulieden in deze zaak horen? Want gelijk het deel dergenen is, die in den strijd mede afgetogen zijn, alzo zal ook het deel dergenen zijn, die bij het gereedschap gebleven zijn; zij zullen gelijkelijk delen. 25En dit is van dien dag af en voortaan alzo geweest; want hij heeft het tot een inzetting en tot een recht gesteld in Israel, tot op dezen dag. 26Als nu David te Ziklag kwam, zo zond hij tot de oudsten van Juda, zijn vrienden, van den buit, zeggende: Ziet, daar is een zegen voor ulieden, van den buit der vijanden des HEEREN. 27Namelijk tot die te Beth-El, en tot die te Ramoth tegen het zuiden, en tot die te Jather, 28En tot die te Aroer, en tot die te Sifmoth, en tot die te Esthemoa, 29En tot die te Rachel, en tot die, welke in de steden der Jerahmeelieten waren, en tot die, welke in de steden der Kenieten waren, 30En tot die te Horma, en tot die te Chor-Asan, en tot die te Atach, 31En tot die te Hebron, en tot al de plaatsen, waar David gewandeld had, hij en zijn mannen.
