1And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.2And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.3And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.4And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.5And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?6Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.7And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.8And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt.9And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.10And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.11And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines.12And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.
1وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ فِي قَلْبِهِ، إِنِّي سَأَهْلِكُ يَوْماً بِيَدِ شَاوُلَ، فَلاَ شَيْءَ خَيْرٌ لِي مِنْ أَنْ أُفْلِتَ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ فَيَيْأَسُ شَاوُلُ مِنِّي فَلاَ يُفَتِّشُ عَلَيَّ بَعْدُ فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَنْجُو مِنْ يَدِهِ.2فَقَامَ دَاوُدُ وَعَبَرَ هُوَ وَالسِّتُّ مِئَةِ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ إِلَى أَخِيشَ بْنِ مَعُوكَ مَلِكِ جَتٍّ3وَأَقَامَ دَاوُدُ عِنْدَ أَخِيشَ فِي جَتٍّ هُوَ وَرِجَالُهُ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ وَبَيْتُهُ، دَاوُدُ وَامْرَأَتَاهُ أَخِينُوعَمُ الْيَزْرَعِيلِيَّةُ وَأَبِيجَايِلُ امْرَأَةُ نَابَالَ الْكَرْمَلِيَّةُ.4فَأُخْبِرَ شَاوُلُ أَنَّ دَاوُدَ قَدْ هَرَبَ إِلَى جَتٍّ فَلَمْ يَعُدْ أَيْضاً يُفَتِّشُ عَلَيْهِ.5فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ لأَخِيشَ، إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ فَلْيُعْطُونِي مَكَاناً فِي إِحْدَى قُرَى الْحَقْلِ فَأَسْكُنَ هُنَاكَ. وَلِمَاذَا يَسْكُنُ عَبْدُكَ فِي مَدِينَةِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ مَعَكَ.6فَأَعْطَاهُ أَخِيشُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ صِقْلَغَ. لِذَلِكَ صَارَتْ صِقْلَغُ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.7وَكَانَ عَدَدُ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي سَكَنَ فِيهَا دَاوُدُ فِي بِلاَدِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ سَنَةً وَأَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ.8وَصَعِدَ دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ وَغَزَوْا الْجَشُورِيِّينَ وَالْجَرِزِّيِّينَ وَالْعَمَالِقَةَ لأَنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ مِنْ قَدِيمٍ سُكَّانُ الأَرْضِ مِنْ عِنْدِ شُورٍ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.9وَضَرَبَ دَاوُدُ الأَرْضَ، وَلَمْ يَسْتَبْقِ رَجُلاً وَلاَ امْرَأَةً، وَأَخَذَ غَنَماً وَبَقَراً وَحَمِيراً وَجِمَالاً وَثِيَاباً وَرَجَعَ وَجَاءَ إِلَى أَخِيشَ.10فَقَالَ أَخِيشُ، إِذاً لَمْ تَغْزُوا الْيَوْمَ. فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ، بَلَى. عَلَى جَنُوبِيِّ يَهُوذَا وَجَنُوبِيِّ الْيَرْحَمْئِيلِيِّينَ وَجَنُوبِيِّ الْقِينِيِّينَ.11فَلَمْ يَسْتَبْقِ دَاوُدُ رَجُلاً وَلاَ امْرَأَةً حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ إِلَى جَتٍّ إِذْ قَالَ، لِئَلاَّ يُخْبِرُوا عَنَّا قَائِلِينَ، هَكَذَا فَعَلَ دَاوُدُ. وَهَكَذَا عَادَتُهُ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ إِقَامَتِهِ فِي بِلاَدِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ.12فَصَدَّقَ أَخِيشُ دَاوُدَ قَائِلاً، قَدْ صَارَ مَكْرُوهاً لَدَى شَعْبِهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيَكُونُ لِي عَبْداً إِلَى الأَبَدِ.
