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.

¹

И рече́ даві́дъ въ се́рдцы своє́мъ, глаго́ля: ны́нѣ впаду́ въ де́нь єди́нъ въ ру́ки Сау́ли, и не бу́детъ ми́ бла́го, а́ще не спасу́ся въ земли́ иноплеме́нничи, и преста́нетъ Сау́лъ иска́ти мене́ во вся́комъ предѣ́лѣ Ізра́илевѣ, и спасу́ся изъ руки́ єго́.

²

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

²

И воста́ даві́дъ и ше́сть со́тъ муже́й и́же съ ни́мъ, и и́де ко агху́су сы́ну Амма́хову царю́ ге́ѳску.

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.

³

И пребы́сть даві́дъ у агху́са въ ге́ѳѣ, са́мъ и му́жіє єго́ вси́ и до́мъ єго́, и даві́дъ и о́бѣ жены́ єго́, Ахінаа́мъ Ієзраилі́тыня и Авіге́а жена́ Нава́ла карми́лскаго.

⁴

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

⁴

И возвѣсти́ша Сау́лу, я́ко отбѣже́ даві́дъ въ ге́ѳъ, и не приложи́ ктому́ [сау́лъ] иска́ти єго́.

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?

⁵

И рече́ даві́дъ ко агху́су: а́ще обрѣ́те ра́бъ тво́й благода́ть предъ очи́ма твои́ма, да да́си ми́ мѣ́сто во єди́нѣмъ от градо́въ и́же на селѣ́, и ся́ду та́мо: и вску́ю сѣди́тъ ра́бъ тво́й во гра́дѣ ца́рственнѣмъ съ тобо́ю?

⁶

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

⁶

И даде́ єму́ агху́съ въ де́нь то́й секела́гъ: сего́ ра́ди бы́сть царю́ Іуде́йску секела́гъ до дне́шняго дне́.

⁷

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

⁷

И бы́сть число́ дні́й, въ ня́же сѣдя́ше даві́дъ на селѣ́ иноплеме́нничи, четы́ри ме́сяцы.

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.

⁸

И восхожда́ше даві́дъ и му́жіє єго́ и напада́ху на вся́каго гессе́ра и на Амаликі́та, и се́, земля́ населя́шеся от ламсу́ра и до земли́ Єги́петскія:

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.

⁹

и поража́ше даві́дъ зе́млю, и не оставля́ше въ живы́хъ му́жеска по́лу и же́нска: и взима́ху стада́, и бу́йволицы и осля́та, и велблю́ды и ри́зы, и возвраща́ющеся прихожда́ху ко агху́су.

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.

¹⁰

И рече́ агху́съ къ даві́ду: на кого́ нападо́сте ны́нѣ? И рече́ даві́дъ ко агху́су: къ ю́гу Іуде́и и къ ю́гу Ієсмеги́ и къ ю́гу Кенезі́а:

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.

¹¹

и му́жеска по́лу и же́нска не оставля́хъ въ живы́хъ є́же вводи́ти въ ге́ѳъ, глаго́ля: да не возвѣстя́тъ въ ге́ѳѣ на на́съ, глаго́люще: сія́ твори́тъ даві́дъ. И сіє́ оправда́ніє єго́ во вся́ дни́, въ ня́же сѣдя́ше даві́дъ на селѣ́ иноплеме́нничи.

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.

¹²

И увѣ́рися даві́дъ агху́су зѣло́, глаго́ля: омерзѣ́ніємъ омерзѣ́ въ лю́дехъ свои́хъ во Ізра́или, и бу́детъ ми́ ра́бъ во вѣ́ки.
