撒母耳記上 22
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
大衛匿於亞杜蘭洞
22 大衛就離開那裡，逃到亞杜蘭洞。他的弟兄和他父親的全家聽見了，就都下到他那裡。 2 凡受窘迫的，欠債的，心裡苦惱的，都聚集到大衛那裡。大衛就做他們的頭目，跟隨他的約有四百人。
3 大衛從那裡往摩押的米斯巴去，對摩押王說：「求你容我父母搬來，住在你們這裡，等我知道神要為我怎樣行。」 4 大衛領他父母到摩押王面前。大衛住山寨多少日子，他父母也住摩押王那裡多少日子。 5 先知迦得對大衛說：「你不要住在山寨，要往猶大地去。」大衛就離開那裡，進入哈列的樹林。
掃羅責臣不忠於己
6 掃羅在基比亞的拉瑪，坐在垂絲柳樹下，手裡拿著槍，眾臣僕侍立在左右。掃羅聽見大衛和跟隨他的人在何處， 7 就對左右侍立的臣僕說：「便雅憫人哪，你們要聽我的話！耶西的兒子能將田地和葡萄園賜給你們各人嗎？能立你們各人做千夫長百夫長嗎？ 8 你們竟都結黨害我。我的兒子與耶西的兒子結盟的時候，無人告訴我。我的兒子挑唆我的臣子謀害我，就如今日的光景，也無人告訴我，為我憂慮。」 9 那時以東人多益站在掃羅的臣僕中，對他說：「我曾看見耶西的兒子到了挪伯亞希突的兒子亞希米勒那裡。 10 亞希米勒為他求問耶和華，又給他食物，並給他殺非利士人歌利亞的刀。」
多益殘殺挪伯諸祭司
11 王就打發人將祭司亞希突的兒子亞希米勒和他父親的全家，就是住挪伯的祭司都召了來，他們就來見王。 12 掃羅說：「亞希突的兒子，要聽我的話！」他回答說：「主啊，我在這裡。」 13 掃羅對他說：「你為什麼與耶西的兒子結黨害我，將食物和刀給他，又為他求問神，使他起來謀害我，就如今日的光景？」 14 亞希米勒回答王說：「王的臣僕中有誰比大衛忠心呢？他是王的女婿，又是王的參謀，並且在王家中是尊貴的。 15 我豈是從今日才為他求問神呢？斷不是這樣。王不要將罪歸我和我父的全家，因為這事無論大小，僕人都不知道。」 16 王說：「亞希米勒啊，你和你父的全家都是該死的！」 17 王就吩咐左右的侍衛說：「你們去殺耶和華的祭司，因為他們幫助大衛，又知道大衛逃跑，竟沒有告訴我。」掃羅的臣子卻不肯伸手殺耶和華的祭司。 18 王吩咐多益說：「你去殺祭司吧！」以東人多益就去殺祭司，那日殺了穿細麻布以弗得的八十五人。 19 又用刀將祭司城挪伯中的男女、孩童、吃奶的，和牛、羊、驢盡都殺滅。
亞比亞他逃歸大衛
20 亞希突的兒子亞希米勒有一個兒子，名叫亞比亞他，逃到大衛那裡。 21 亞比亞他將掃羅殺耶和華祭司的事告訴大衛。 22 大衛對亞比亞他說：「那日我見以東人多益在那裡，就知道他必告訴掃羅。你父的全家喪命，都是因我的緣故。 23 你可以住在我這裡，不要懼怕，因為尋索你命的就是尋索我的命。你在我這裡可得保全。」

掃羅殘殺祭司
22 大衛離開迦特，逃到亞杜蘭洞。他的兄弟和親屬知道後，都來到他那裡， 2 所有受壓迫的、負債的和心懷不滿的人都紛紛來投奔他。大衛就做了他們的首領，跟隨他的有四百多人。 3 後來，大衛到摩押的米斯巴去，請求摩押王收留他的父母，直到他明白上帝給他的安排為止。 4 大衛把父母留在了摩押王那裡。在大衛住堡壘期間，他的父母一直住在摩押。 5 迦得先知吩咐大衛離開堡壘回猶大去，大衛就動身前往哈列的樹林。
6 當時，掃羅正在基比亞的拉瑪，坐在垂絲柳下，手中拿著矛，臣僕侍立在左右。他得知大衛一行人的行蹤後， 7 就對左右的臣僕說：「便雅憫人啊，你們聽著！難道耶西的兒子會給你們田地和葡萄園嗎？他能立你們做千夫長和百夫長嗎？ 8 為什麼你們一同謀害我？我的兒子跟耶西的兒子立約，沒有人告訴我。就是今天我的兒子鼓動我的臣僕來謀害我，也沒有人關心我，告訴我。」 9 以東人多益正站在掃羅的臣僕中，他說：「我在挪伯親眼看見耶西的兒子到了亞希突的兒子亞希米勒那裡。 10 亞希米勒為他求問耶和華，給他食物，還把非利士人歌利亞的刀給了他。」
11 於是，掃羅派人把挪伯的祭司——亞希突的兒子亞希米勒及其家人都召來。他們都來到王面前。 12 掃羅說：「亞希突的兒子，聽著！」亞希米勒答道：「我主啊，我在這裡。」 13 掃羅說：「你為什麼和耶西的兒子一同謀害我？你為什麼把食物和刀給他，又為他求問耶和華，使他像今天這樣背叛我，伺機害我呢？」 14 亞希米勒答道：「王的臣僕中有誰像大衛那樣忠心呢？他是王的女婿，又是王的護衛長，在王室中受尊重。 15 那也不是我第一次為他求問耶和華，求王不要因這事加罪於我或我的家人，因為我根本不知道謀反的事。」 16 王卻說：「亞希米勒啊，你和你全家都必死無疑！」 17 他就命令身旁的護衛，說：「把這些耶和華的祭司殺掉，因為他們跟大衛同謀，明知道大衛在潛逃，卻不來告訴我。」掃羅的臣僕不願意下手殺害耶和華的祭司。 18 掃羅就對多益說：「你去把祭司殺掉！」以東人多益就殺了他們。那天，他下手殺了八十五個穿細麻布以弗得的祭司。 19 他又把祭司城挪伯的男女老少、牛羊和驢全部殺掉。
20 只有亞希米勒的一個兒子亞比亞他逃出去，投奔了大衛。 21 亞比亞他把掃羅屠殺耶和華祭司的事告訴了大衛， 22 大衛說：「那天我見以東人多益在那裡，就知道他一定會告訴掃羅。是我連累了你父親一家。 23 你就放心留在我這裡，不要害怕，誰想殺你，就是想殺我。你在我這裡很安全。」

扫罗残杀祭司
22 大卫离开迦特，逃到亚杜兰洞。他的兄弟和亲属知道后，都来到他那里， 2 所有受压迫的、负债的和心怀不满的人都纷纷来投奔他。大卫就做了他们的首领，跟随他的有四百多人。 3 后来，大卫到摩押的米斯巴去，请求摩押王收留他的父母，直到他明白上帝给他的安排为止。 4 大卫把父母留在了摩押王那里。在大卫住堡垒期间，他的父母一直住在摩押。 5 迦得先知吩咐大卫离开堡垒回犹大去，大卫就动身前往哈列的树林。
6 当时，扫罗正在基比亚的拉玛，坐在垂丝柳下，手中拿着矛，臣仆侍立在左右。他得知大卫一行人的行踪后， 7 就对左右的臣仆说：“便雅悯人啊，你们听着！难道耶西的儿子会给你们田地和葡萄园吗？他能立你们做千夫长和百夫长吗？ 8 为什么你们一同谋害我？我的儿子跟耶西的儿子立约，没有人告诉我。就是今天我的儿子鼓动我的臣仆来谋害我，也没有人关心我，告诉我。” 9 以东人多益正站在扫罗的臣仆中，他说：“我在挪伯亲眼看见耶西的儿子到了亚希突的儿子亚希米勒那里。 10 亚希米勒为他求问耶和华，给他食物，还把非利士人歌利亚的刀给了他。”
11 于是，扫罗派人把挪伯的祭司——亚希突的儿子亚希米勒及其家人都召来。他们都来到王面前。 12 扫罗说：“亚希突的儿子，听着！”亚希米勒答道：“我主啊，我在这里。” 13 扫罗说：“你为什么和耶西的儿子一同谋害我？你为什么把食物和刀给他，又为他求问耶和华，使他像今天这样背叛我，伺机害我呢？” 14 亚希米勒答道：“王的臣仆中有谁像大卫那样忠心呢？他是王的女婿，又是王的护卫长，在王室中受尊重。 15 那也不是我第一次为他求问耶和华，求王不要因这事加罪于我或我的家人，因为我根本不知道谋反的事。” 16 王却说：“亚希米勒啊，你和你全家都必死无疑！” 17 他就命令身旁的护卫，说：“把这些耶和华的祭司杀掉，因为他们跟大卫同谋，明知道大卫在潜逃，却不来告诉我。”扫罗的臣仆不愿意下手杀害耶和华的祭司。 18 扫罗就对多益说：“你去把祭司杀掉！”以东人多益就杀了他们。那天，他下手杀了八十五个穿细麻布以弗得的祭司。 19 他又把祭司城挪伯的男女老少、牛羊和驴全部杀掉。
20 只有亚希米勒的一个儿子亚比亚他逃出去，投奔了大卫。 21 亚比亚他把扫罗屠杀耶和华祭司的事告诉了大卫， 22 大卫说：“那天我见以东人多益在那里，就知道他一定会告诉扫罗。是我连累了你父亲一家。 23 你就放心留在我这里，不要害怕，谁想杀你，就是想杀我。你在我这里很安全。”
1 Samuel 22
New English Translation
David Goes to Adullam and Mizpah
22 So David left there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and the rest of his father’s family[a] learned about it, they went down there to him. 2 All those who were in trouble or owed someone money or were discontented[b] gathered around[c] him, and he became their leader. He had about 400 men with him.
3 Then David went from there to Mizpah in Moab, where he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother stay[d] with you until I know what God is going to do for me.” 4 So he had them stay with the king of Moab; they stayed with him the whole time[e] that David was in the stronghold. 5 Then Gad the prophet said to David, “Don’t stay in the stronghold. Go to the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.
Saul Executes the Priests
6 But Saul found out the whereabouts of David and the men who were with him.[f] Now Saul was sitting at Gibeah under the tamarisk tree at an elevated location with his spear in hand and all his servants stationed around him. 7 Saul said to his servants, “Listen up, you Benjaminites! Is Jesse’s son giving fields and vineyards to all of you? Or is he making all of you[g] commanders and officers?[h] 8 For all of you have conspired against me! No one informs me[i] when my own son makes an agreement with the son of Jesse. Not one of you feels sorry for me or informs me that my own son has commissioned my own servant to hide in ambush against me, as is the case today!”
9 But Doeg the Edomite, who had stationed himself with the servants of Saul, replied, “I saw this son of Jesse come to Ahimelech son of Ahitub at Nob. 10 He inquired of the Lord for him and gave him provisions. He also gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
11 Then the king arranged for a meeting with the priest Ahimelech son of Ahitub and all the priests of his father’s house who were at Nob. They all came to the king. 12 Then Saul said, “Listen, son of Ahitub.” He replied, “Here I am, my lord.” 13 Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and this son of Jesse? You gave[j] him bread and a sword and inquired of God on his behalf, so that he opposes[k] me and waits in ambush, as is the case today!”
14 Ahimelech replied to the king, “Who among all your servants is faithful like David? He is the king’s son-in-law, the leader of your bodyguard, and honored in your house. 15 Was it just today that I began to inquire of God on his behalf? Far be it from me! The king should not accuse[l] his servant or any of my father’s house, for your servant is not aware of all this—not in whole or in part!”[m]
16 But the king said, “You will surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house!” 17 Then the king said to the messengers[n] who were stationed beside him, “Turn and kill the priests of the Lord, for they too have sided[o] with David. They knew he was fleeing, but they did not inform me.” But the king’s servants refused to harm[p] the priests of the Lord.
18 Then the king said to Doeg, “You turn and strike down the priests!” So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck down the priests. He killed on that day eighty-five[q] men who wore the linen ephod. 19 As for Nob, the city of the priests, Doeg struck down men and women, children and infants, oxen, donkeys, and sheep—all with the sword.
20 But one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub escaped and fled to David. His name was Abiathar. 21 Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the Lord. 22 Then David said to Abiathar, “I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite was there that he would certainly tell Saul! I am guilty[r] of all the deaths in your father’s house. 23 Stay with me. Don’t be afraid. Whoever[s] seeks my life is seeking your life as well. You are secure with me.”
Footnotes
- 1 Samuel 22:1 tn Heb “house.”
- 1 Samuel 22:2 tn Heb “bitter of soul.”
- 1 Samuel 22:2 tn Heb “to.”
- 1 Samuel 22:3 tn Heb “go forth.”
- 1 Samuel 22:4 tn Heb “all the days.”
- 1 Samuel 22:6 tn Heb “and Saul heard that David and the men who were with him were known.”
- 1 Samuel 22:7 tc The MT has “to all of you.” If this reading is correct, we have here an example of a prepositional phrase functioning as the equivalent of a dative of advantage, which is not impossible from a grammatical point of view. However, the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate all have “and.” A conjunction rather than a preposition should probably be read on the front of this phrase.
- 1 Samuel 22:7 tn Heb “officers of a thousand and officers of a hundred.”
- 1 Samuel 22:8 tn Heb “uncovers my ear.”
- 1 Samuel 22:13 tn Heb “by giving.”
- 1 Samuel 22:13 tn Heb “rises up against.”
- 1 Samuel 22:15 tn Heb “set a matter against.”
- 1 Samuel 22:15 tn Heb “small or great.”
- 1 Samuel 22:17 tn Heb “runners.”
- 1 Samuel 22:17 tn Heb “their hand is.”
- 1 Samuel 22:17 tn Heb “to extend their hand to harm.”
- 1 Samuel 22:18 tc The number is confused in the Greek ms tradition. The LXX, with the exception of the Lucianic recension, has the number 305. The Lucianic recension, along with a couple of Old Latin mss, has the number 350.
- 1 Samuel 22:22 tc The translation follows the LXX, which reads “I am guilty,” rather than the MT, which has “I have turned.”
- 1 Samuel 22:23 tn Or “the one who.” This may refer specifically to Saul, in which case David acknowledges that Abiathar’s life is endangered because of his allegiance to David. The translation assumes that the statement is more generalized, meaning that any enemy of Abiathar is an enemy of David. In other words, David promises that he will protect Abiathar with his very own life.
