撒母耳記上 27
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
大衛投奔非利士人
27 大衛心裡想：「終有一天，我會死在掃羅手裡，我最好逃到非利士人那裡。這樣，掃羅就不會在以色列到處追捕我了，我便可以逃離他的手。」 2 於是，大衛率領他的六百個隨從去投靠瑪俄的兒子迦特王亞吉。 3 他部下的家眷和他的兩位妻子——耶斯列人亞希暖和拿八的遺孀迦密人亞比該也跟他一同住在迦特王亞吉那裡。 4 掃羅聽到這個消息，就不再追捕他了。 5 大衛對亞吉說：「如果你開恩，就讓我到郊野的一個城邑去住吧，何必讓僕人與王一同住在都城呢？」 6 亞吉當天把洗革拉賜給他，因此那地方至今仍屬猶大王。 7 大衛在非利士人的地方共住了一年零四個月。 8 他率領部下襲擊基述人、基色人和亞瑪力人，這些人自古以來就住在遠至書珥和埃及一帶的地方。 9 大衛攻打那一帶，殺死所有的人，搶走牛、羊、驢、駱駝和衣物，回去見亞吉。 10 亞吉問：「你們今天攻打了哪裡？」大衛會說：「攻打了猶大南部」，或說：「攻打了耶拉篾南部」，或說：「攻打了基尼南部。」 11 大衛把那地方的人都殺掉，一個也不帶到迦特，因為他害怕他們會洩露真相。大衛在非利士人那裡居住的時候，常常這樣做。 12 亞吉相信了大衛的話，心裡想：「以色列人恨透了大衛，他必永遠留在迦特做我的僕人。」
1 Samuel 27
King James Version
27 And 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.
2 And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3 And 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.
4 And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.
5 And 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?
6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.
7 And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
8 And 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.
9 And 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.
10 And 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.
11 And 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.
12 And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.
