И$ рече дв~дъ въ срDцы свое^мъ гл~я, нн~њ приложиTмися бы'ти въ дн~ь е^ді'нъ в рђкђ саё'лю. и^ не бђдетъ м^и бл~го. а^ще не и^дђ` в зе'млю и^ноплеме'нничђ, и^ т^ђ и^збђдђ е^го, а^ще по'слетъ саё'лъ и^ска'ти мене` въ вся` предњлы і^и^л~я, и^ сп~сђся и^з# рђки` е^го”

¹

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.

²

И$ въста'въ дв~дъ, и^ х~ мђжъ и^же с ни'мъ, і^ и'де къ а^кхђ'сђ сн~ђ а^ма'ховђ цр~ю ге'џъскђ”

²

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

³

И$ пребы'сть ё^ него самъ и^ мђжи е^го с ниM и^ до'мъ е^го, и^ ѓ'бњ женњ` е^го. а^хиное'ми і^и^л~ьтяны'ни. и^ а^вигњя' и^же бњ` жена` нава'на карми'льскаго”

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.

⁴

И$ възвњсти'ша саё'лђ ја%ко эTбњже дв~дъ в ге'џы. и^ не приложи` ктомђ` саё'лъ и^ска'ти дв~да”

⁴

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

⁵

И$ рече дв~дъ къ а^кхђ'сђ а^ще ѓ^брњте` ра'бъ твой ра'дость преD ѓ^чи'ма твои'ма. да даси` м^и мњсто е^ді'но ѓ^гра'дникъ на селњ`, и^ ся'дђ т^ђ. а^ въскђ'ю седи'тъ ра'бъ твой въ гра'дњ, црsтвђ'ющи с тобо'ю”

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?

⁶

И$ да` е^мђ въ дн~ь то'и сикела'гъ, сего ра'ди бы'сть црsтвђ і^ё'де'искђ сикела'гъ, до дне'шняго дн~е.

⁶

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

⁷

И$ бы'сть число` дне'и. в ня'же сњ'де дв~дъ на селњ` и^ноплемеnничи четы'ри мsцы”

⁷

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

⁸

И$ въсхожда'ше дв~дъ и^ мђжи е^го, напада'хђ на вс^я гесњры, и^ на а^м#мали'киты. и^ с^е си` земля` прилежа'ше эT ламосђ'ра. и^ до земля` е^гљ=петъски”

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.

⁹

И побњжDа'ша зе'млю т^ђ. и^ не живяше мђжеска по'лђ и же'ньска. пои^ма'хђ ста'да и^ бђ'иволицы, ѓ^сля'та вельблю'ды и^ ри'зы. и^ възвраща'ющася прихожда'хђ, къ а^кхђ'сђ”

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.

¹⁰

И$ рече а^кхђ'съ къ дв~дђ ка'мо вое^ва'стњ нн~њ” И$ рече дв~дъ къ а^кхђ'сђ. на ю%гъ і^ё^дея и^ на ю%гъ и^е^зме'ги. и^ на ю%гъ кенезїя”

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.

¹¹

Ни мђжеска по'лђ и^ же'ньска не живи'хомъ ја%ко не въвести` в ге'џы гл~я, е^гда ка'ко възвестя'тъ в ге'џы на' ны гл~юще. ја%ко с^е дв~дъ тво'ритъ. себњ ѓ^правда'нїе е^го, вс^я дн~и. в ня'же сњде дв~дъ на селњ` и^ноплеме'нничи”

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.

¹²

И$ ё^вњри'ся дв~дъ а^кхђ'сови ѕњло гл~я. ё^крњпи'ся крњпя'ся в лю'дех# свои^хъ і^и^л~и. и^ бђдетъ м^и ра'бъ въ вњки”

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.
