И$ бы'сть эTшеDшђ дв~дђ и^ мђжемъ е^го эT сикела'га. и^ въ дн~ь тре'тїи. и^ аMмали'къ на'иде на ё'жнђю странђ` и^ на сикела'гъ. и^ побра'ша мђже'и сикела'гъскихъ. и^ гра'дъ зажго'ша ѓ^ гнемъ”

¹

And it came to pass when David and his men had entered Sekelac on the third day, that Amalec had made an incursion upon the south, and upon Sekelac, and smitten Sekelac, and burnt it with fire.

²

Же'ны же и^ вс^я сђщая на мњ'стњ то'мъ. эT ма'ла и^ до вели'ка побра'ша и^ не ё^би'ша эT них# ни мђжа ни жены`. н^о плени'ша и^дя'хђ пђте'мъ свои^мъ”

²

And as to the women and all things that were in it, great and small, they slew neither man nor woman, but carried them captives, and went on their way.

³

И$ прїиде дв~дъ и^ мђжи е^го въ' градъ, и^ съж#же'нъ бя'ше ѓ^гне'мъ граD. и^ же'ныy и^хъ и^ сн~ове и^хъ и^ дще'ри и^хъ бя'хђ полоне'ни”

³

And David and his men came into the city, and, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were carried captive.

⁴

И въздви'же дв~дъ и^ мђжи е^го гла'съ свои. и^ пла'кашася доnдеже нача'ша не мощи` пла'катися”

⁴

And David and his men lifted up their voice, and wept till there was no longer any power within them to weep.

⁵

И же'ны е^го ѓ%бњ бњша плњне'ни. а^хинамїи, і^и^л~ьтяны'ни. і^ а^вигњя' бы'вшїя жена`, нава'на карми'льскаго”

⁵

And both the wives of David were carried captive, Achinaam the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

⁶

И$ ѓ^скорбњ` дв~дъ ѕњ'ло, ја%ко съвњща'шася лю'дїе ка'менїеM поби'ти е^го, ја^ко ѓ^ѕло'блена бя'ше дш~а всXњ людїи, комђж'до сн~овъ своиX ра'ди и^ дще'рїи. н^о ё^крњпи'ся дв~дъ ѓ^ г~њ бѕ~њ е^го”

⁶

And David was greatly distressed, because the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, each for his sons and his daughters: but David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.

⁷

И$ рече дв~дъ къ а^виџа'рђ і^е^ре'ю сн~ђ а^вимеле'ховђ. принеси` е^фђ'дъ и^ принесе` а^виџа'ръ е^фђ'дъ къ дв~дђ”

⁷

And David said to Abiathar the priest the son of Achimelech, Bring near the ephod.

⁸

И$ въпроси` дв~дъ г~а гл~я. а^ще женђ` въ слњдъ во'и си'хъ а^ще пости'гнђ я& и^ побњжђ л^и я&. и^ рече г~ь жени`, ја%ко пости'гнђя пости'гнеши. і^ и^збавя'и и^зба'вити и%маши своя лю'ди”

⁸

And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? and he said to him, Pursue, for thou shalt surely overtake them, and thou shalt surely rescue the captives.

⁹

І$ и'де дв~дъ са'мъ и^ х~, мђжъ с ни'мъ. и^ прїидо'ша даже до пото'ка въсо'рска. а^ прочїи ѓ^ста'ша,

⁹

So David went, he and the six hundred men with him, and they come as far as the brook Bosor, and the superfluous ones stopped.

¹⁰

и^ гна'въ съ д~ ми сты` мђжъ, с~ б^о и^хъ ѓ^ста'ша, и^ сњдя'хђ ѓ^бо'нъ поl пото'ка въсо'р#ска”

¹⁰

And he pursued them with four hundred men; and there remained behind two hundred men, who tarried on the other side of the brook Bosor.

¹¹

И$ ѓ^брњто'ша т^ђ мђж'а е^гљ=птянина на селњ`. и^ поя'ша и&. и^ приведо'ша и& къ дв~дђ. и^ да'ша е^мђ хлњбъ ја%сти, и^ напои'ша и& воды`”

¹¹

And they find an Egyptian in the field, and they take him, and bring him to David; and they gave him bread and he ate, and they caused him to drink water.

¹²

И$ да'ша е^мђ ё^крђхъ сы'ра, и^ ја%сть. и^ ста` дђхъ е^го в немъ, ја%ко бя'ше не ја^лъ хлњба, ни пи'лъ воды`, г~. дн~и, и^ г~ но'щи”

¹²

And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and he ate, and his spirit was restored in him; for he had not eaten bread, and had not drunk water three days and three nights.

¹³

И$ рече дв~дъ эTкђдђ е^си, и^ чїи е^си т^ы. и^ рече е^мђ ѓ'трокъ. е^гљ=птянинъ е^смь а^зъ и^ ра'бъ мђжа а^м#мали'кова, и^ ѓ^ста'ви мя господи'нъ мои, ја%ко разболњ'хся дне'сь ё^же тре'тїи дн~ь.

¹³

And David said to him, Whose art thou? and whence art thou? and the young man the Egyptian said, I am the servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me, because I was taken ill three days ago.

¹⁴

и^ м^ы с^е входи'хомъ на ю%гъ до хеле'фи и^ на і^ё^де'искїя страны`. и^ на гелвђ'е и^ сикеи'лђ, заж#го'хомъ ѓ^гне'мъ”

¹⁴

And we made an incursion on the south of the Chelethite, and on the parts of Judea, and on the south of Chelub, and we burnt Sekelac with fire.

¹⁵

И$ рече е^мђ дв~дъ. вести л^и м^я и%маши до во'и тXњ, ѓ%н же реq к немђ клени` м^и ся бм~ъ ја%ко не ё^бі'еши м^я, и^ не предаси` мене` в рђцњ господи'нђ мое^мђ и^ доведђ тя на во'я си`”

¹⁵

And David said to him, Wilt thou bring me down to this troop? and he said, Swear now to me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, and that thou wilt not deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down upon this troop.

¹⁶

И$ кля'тся е^мђ дв~дъ. и^ веде` и& та'мо. и^ с^е тїи бя'хђ розошли'ся по всеи земли`. и^ бяхђ ја^дђще и^ пїю'ще и^ празднђ'юще ѓ^ все'и коры'сти то'и вели'цеи. ја%же бя'хђ взяли` на зеMли и^ноплеме'нничи, и^ на земли` і^ё'динњ”

¹⁶

So he brought him down thither, and behold, they were scattered abroad upon the surface of the whole land, eating and drinking, and feasting by reason of all the great spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda.

¹⁷

И$ прїиде на' ня дв~дъ, и^ би я& эT ё'тра и^ до' вечера. и^ наё'трїя и^зби` я&. и^ ни е^ді'нъ же ѓ^ста` эT ни'хъ мђжъ. ра'звњ у~ ѓ%трокъ всњдше на велблю'ды ё^бњжа'ша”

¹⁷

And David came upon them, and smote them from the morning till the evening, and on the next day; and not one of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who were mounted on camels, and fled.

¹⁸

И$ взя'тъ дв~дъ вс^я е^ли'ко бњша взя'ли а^м#мали'киты. и^ ѓ'бњ женњ` свои` поја%тъ”

¹⁸

And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued both his wives.

¹⁹

И$ не ѓ^ста` т^ђ ничтоy эT ма'ла и^ до вели'ка, и^ эT коры'сти до сн~овъ и^ дще'рїи и^ вс^я и^же бњша взя'ли, възврати` я& дв~дъ въспятъ вс^я”

¹⁹

And nothing was wanting to them of great or small, either of the spoils, or the sons and daughters, or anything that they had taken of theirs; and David recovered all.

²⁰

И$ поя` дв~дъ вс^я ста'да и^ па'ствины, и^ женя'ше я& преD плњномъ и^ плњ'нъ нарица'шеся плњ'нъ двDвъ”

²⁰

And he took all the flocks, and the herds, and led them away before the spoils: and it was said of these spoils, These are the spoils of David.

²¹

И$ прїиде дв~дъ къ двњма сто'ма мQђ ѓ^ста'вшихъ, и^ти` въ слњ'дъ дв~двъ и^же повелњша ѓ^ста'ти на пото'цњ въсо'ръстњ. і^ и^зыидо'ша на срњте'нїе дв~дђ, и^ на срњте'нїе людеM, и^же с ни'мъ. и^ прїиде дв~дъ до людїи. и^ въпроси'ша е^го ѓ^ ми'рныхъ”

²¹

And David comes to the two hundred men who were left behind that they should not follow after David, and he had caused them to remain by the brook of Bosor; and they came forth to meet David, and to meet his people with him: and David drew near to the people, and they asked him how he did.

²²

И$ эTвњща'ша вс^и мђжи гнњвливыи` и^ лђка'вныи`, эT мђжебо'рцеи сходя'щихъ съ дв~домъ. и^ рњша ја%ко не гони'ша с на'ми. не да'мы и^мъ эT плњ'на, и^же е^смы` поя'ли. н^ото'кмо ко'ждо иX же'ны своя` и^ ча'да своя да во'змђтъ и^ възвратя'тся”

²²

Then every ill-disposed and bad man of the soldiers who had gone with David, answered and said, Because they did not pursue together with us, we will not give them of the spoils which we have recovered, only let each one lead away with him his wife and his children, and let them return.

²³

И$ рече дв~дъ не твори'те бра'тїя моя та'ко. преда'нїя ради гн~я и^ снабдњ'нїя и^мже съхрани` насъ. и^ преда'сть г~ь во'я пришеDшая на' ны в рђ'ки на'ша”

²³

And David said, Ye shall not do so, after the Lord has delivered the enemy to us, and guarded us, and the Lord has delivered into our hands the troop that came against us.

²⁴

И$ кт^о послђшаетъ ва'шего словеси`. ја%ко не на'ши л^и сђть. поне'же ја%ко по ча'сти съшеDшаго на' брань. та'ко е^сть ча'сть сњдя'щаго ё^ рњшины, с тњми` то'чно да раздњли'тся”

²⁴

And who will hearken to these your words? for they are not inferior to us; for according to the portion of him that went down to the battle, so shall be the portion of him that abides with the baggage; they shall share alike.

²⁵

И$ бы'сть эT дн~е того` и^ вы'ше, и^ бы'сть въ повеле'нїе и^ на ѓ^правда'нїе, до дн~е сего` і^и^л~ю

²⁵

And it came to pass from that day forward, that it became an ordinance and a custom in Israel until this day.

²⁶

И$ прїиде дв~дъ в сикела'гъ и^ посла` къ ста'рцемъ і^ё'диномъ эT плњ'на, і^ и^скрени'мъ е^го гл~я с^е ваM блsвенїе. эT плњ'нникъ и^же бњша плњни'ли вра'ѕи гн~и”

²⁶

And David came to Sekelac, and sent of the spoils to the elders of Juda, and to his friends, saying, Behold some of the spoils of the enemies of the Lord;

²⁷

И$же эT веџъсђра і^ и^же эT рано'ма на ю'гђ. и^ эT е^и^џиџе'ра.

²⁷

to those in Bæthsur, and to those in Rama of the south, and to those in Gethor.

²⁸

²⁸

And to those in Aroer, and to those in Ammadi, and to those in Saphi, and to those in Esthie, and to those in Geth, and to those in Cimath, and to those in Saphec, and to those in Themath,

²⁹

і^ и^же эT кина'на” І$ и^же эT сафе'ха. і^ и^же эT џимаџїя. і^ и^же эT карми'ла. І$ и^же эT гра'дъ и^рее^меи^ль. і^ и^же эT гра'дъ кинезїи'нъ.

²⁹

and to those in Carmel, and to those in the cities of Jeremeel, and to those in the cities of the Kenezite;

³⁰

і^ и^же эT римђџа і^ и^же эT вирсавїя. і^ и^же эT номъвњя”

³⁰

and to those in Jerimuth, and to those in Bersabee, and to those in Nombe,

³¹

І$ и^же эT хевро'на. и^ въ вс^я мњ'ста. а%може ходи'лъ дв~дъ т^ђ и^ мђжи е^го с ни'мъ”

³¹

and to those in Chebron, and to all the places which David and his men had passed through.
