撒母耳记上 23

大卫营救基伊拉
23 一天,大卫得知非利士人正在攻打基伊拉,抢掠麦场, 2 便求问耶和华:“我可以去攻打非利士人吗?”耶和华答道:“你可以去攻打非利士人,营救基伊拉。” 3 大卫的部下却对他说:“我们在犹大这里尚且胆战心惊,何况去基伊拉攻打非利士军队呢!” 4 大卫再求问耶和华,耶和华答道:“到基伊拉去吧,我一定把非利士人交在你手里。” 5 于是,大卫和部下到基伊拉去攻打非利士人,大败敌人,夺取了他们的牲畜,救出基伊拉人。
6 亚希米勒的儿子祭司亚比亚他到基伊拉投奔大卫时,把以弗得也带了去。 7 扫罗得知大卫在基伊拉,就说:“这一次是上帝把他交在我手中了,因为他竟然自投网罗,进入有门有闩的城。” 8 扫罗召集全军准备攻打基伊拉,围困大卫和他的部下。 9 大卫知道了扫罗的计谋,便吩咐祭司亚比亚他把以弗得带来, 10 然后说:“耶和华,以色列的上帝啊,仆人听说扫罗要来毁灭基伊拉,因为我在这里。 11 基伊拉的人会不会把我交给扫罗呢?扫罗是不是像我听说的那样要来这里呢?耶和华,以色列的上帝啊,求你告诉我。”耶和华说:“扫罗一定会来。” 12 大卫又问耶和华:“基伊拉的人会不会把我和我的部下交给扫罗呢?”耶和华说:“他们一定会。” 13 于是,大卫率领自己的六百部下离开基伊拉,到处流浪。扫罗得知大卫已经离开基伊拉,就不去了。
14 大卫住在旷野的堡垒或西弗旷野的山区。扫罗天天搜捕大卫,但上帝没有把大卫交在他的手中。 15 大卫在西弗旷野的何利沙得知扫罗要来杀他。 16 扫罗的儿子约拿单去何利沙见大卫,鼓励大卫坚定地信靠上帝。 17 他对大卫说:“不要害怕,我父亲害不了你。你将做以色列的王,我将做你的宰相。我父亲也明白这一点。” 18 二人在耶和华面前立了约。之后,大卫仍留在何利沙,约拿单则回家去了。
19 西弗人去基比亚见扫罗,说:“大卫就躲在我们那里,在旷野南面哈基拉山上何利沙的堡垒里。 20 王啊,你随时都可以下来,我们一定把他交在王的手里。” 21 扫罗说:“愿耶和华赐福给你们!因为你们体恤我。 22 我听说他非常狡猾,你们再回去弄清楚他的行踪,谁在那里见过他, 23 查明他的藏身之处,回来如实告诉我,然后我会与你们同去。如果他在犹大境内,我要搜遍千家万户,找到他。” 24 于是,西弗人先回去了。当时大卫和他的部下在旷野南面的亚拉巴,即玛云旷野。 25 大卫听说扫罗和手下正在搜寻他,便率领部下前往玛云旷野的磐石,住在那里。扫罗得知后,便去玛云旷野追赶大卫。 26 扫罗在山这边走,大卫和他的部下在山那边走,急急忙忙地躲避扫罗。扫罗和他的手下四面包围过来,眼看就要抓住他们了。 27 这时,扫罗的信使前来禀报,说非利士人前来犯境,请王速回。 28 扫罗只好放弃追赶大卫,回师迎战非利士人。因此,那地方叫“脱险岩”。 29 后来,大卫从那里转移到隐·基底的堡垒里。

大卫攻打非利士人
23 有人告诉大卫:“看哪,非利士人正在攻打基伊拉,并且抢掠禾场。” 2 大卫就求问耶和华说:“我可以去击打这些非利士人吗?”耶和华对大卫说:“你可以去击打非利士人,拯救基伊拉。” 3 跟随大卫的人对他说:“看哪,我们在犹大地这里尚且惧怕,何况到基伊拉去攻打非利士人的军兵呢?” 4 于是大卫再求问耶和华。耶和华回答他说:“你只管起来,下到基伊拉去,因为我必把非利士人交在你的手里。” 5 大卫和跟随他的人就到基伊拉去,与非利士人争战,掳走了他们的牲畜,又在他们中间杀戮多人。这样,大卫拯救了基伊拉的居民。
6 亚希米勒的儿子亚比亚他逃到基伊拉去见大卫的时候,是手里带着以弗得下来的。 7 有人告诉扫罗,大卫到了基伊拉,扫罗就说:“ 神把他交在我的手中了,因为他进了一座有门有闩的城,把自己关闭起来了。” 8 于是扫罗召集众人去争战,要下到基伊拉去,围困大卫和跟随他的人。 9 大卫知道扫罗设计害他,就对亚比亚他祭司说:“把以弗得拿来!” 10 大卫说:“耶和华以色列的 神啊!你仆人确实听见了扫罗想要到基伊拉来,为了我的缘故要毁灭这城。 11 基伊拉人会把我交在扫罗的手里吗?扫罗会照着你仆人所听到的下来吗?耶和华以色列的 神啊!求你告诉你仆人。”耶和华说:“他必下来。” 12 大卫又说:“基伊拉人会把我和跟随我的人交在扫罗手里吗?”耶和华说:“他们必把你们交出来。” 13 大卫和跟从他的人,约有六百人,就起身离开基伊拉,到处漂泊。有人告诉扫罗,大卫已经逃离了基伊拉,扫罗就不出去了。 14 大卫住在旷野的山寨里,又住在西弗旷野的山里。扫罗天天寻索大卫, 神却不把大卫交在他手里。
大卫再与约拿单立约
15 大卫惧怕,因为扫罗出来寻索他的命。那时大卫住在西弗旷野的何列斯那里。 16 扫罗的儿子约拿单起身,到何列斯去见大卫,鼓励他,使他靠 神坚强起来, 17 对他说:“你不要惧怕!我父亲扫罗的手必不能害你。你必要作以色列的王,我要在你以下位居第二,这事连我父亲扫罗也知道了。” 18 于是他们二人在耶和华面前立了约。大卫仍住在何列斯,约拿单却回自己的家去了。
19 西弗人上到基比亚去见扫罗,说:“大卫不是在我们这里的何列斯的山寨,就是在旷野南边的哈基拉山上藏着吗? 20 王啊,现在请下来,请你随着你的心愿下来,我们必亲自把他交在王的手里。” 21 扫罗说:“愿耶和华赐福你们,因为你们关心我。 22 你们要去再确实查看他脚踪所到的地方,有谁看见他在那里,因为有人对我说,他非常狡猾。 23 你们要去查看他所有藏身的地方,确定以后再回来见我,我就与你们同去;如果他在本地,我必从犹大的千门万户中把他搜出来。”
扫罗在玛云旷野追寻大卫
24 于是西弗人起身,在扫罗以先到西弗去了。那时大卫和跟随他的人却在玛云旷野,就是在荒野南边的亚拉巴。 25 扫罗和跟随他的人去寻找大卫。有人告诉大卫,他就下到盘石那里,留在玛云旷野。扫罗听见了,就在玛云旷野追赶大卫。 26 扫罗在山这边走,大卫和跟随他的人却在山那边走。大卫匆匆忙忙逃避扫罗,扫罗和跟随他的人却四面包围大卫和跟随他的人,要把他们捉住。 27 那时忽有使者来见扫罗说:“请你赶快回去,因为非利士人来突击这地。” 28 于是扫罗不再追赶大卫,回去迎战非利士人。因此这地方被称为西拉.哈玛希罗结。 29 大卫从那里上去,住在隐.基底的山寨里。(本节在《马索拉文本》为24:1)
1 Samuel 23
New International Version
David Saves Keilah
23 When David was told, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah(A) and are looting the threshing floors,”(B) 2 he inquired(C) of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?”
The Lord answered him, “Go, attack the Philistines and save Keilah.”
3 But David’s men said to him, “Here in Judah we are afraid. How much more, then, if we go to Keilah against the Philistine forces!”
4 Once again David inquired(D) of the Lord, and the Lord answered him, “Go down to Keilah, for I am going to give the Philistines(E) into your hand.(F)” 5 So David and his men went to Keilah, fought the Philistines and carried off their livestock. He inflicted heavy losses on the Philistines and saved the people of Keilah. 6 (Now Abiathar(G) son of Ahimelek had brought the ephod(H) down with him when he fled to David at Keilah.)
Saul Pursues David
7 Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah, and he said, “God has delivered him into my hands,(I) for David has imprisoned himself by entering a town with gates and bars.”(J) 8 And Saul called up all his forces for battle, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.
9 When David learned that Saul was plotting against him, he said to Abiathar(K) the priest, “Bring the ephod.(L)” 10 David said, “Lord, God of Israel, your servant has heard definitely that Saul plans to come to Keilah and destroy the town on account of me. 11 Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me to him? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? Lord, God of Israel, tell your servant.”
And the Lord said, “He will.”
12 Again David asked, “Will the citizens of Keilah surrender(M) me and my men to Saul?”
And the Lord said, “They will.”
13 So David and his men,(N) about six hundred in number, left Keilah and kept moving from place to place. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah, he did not go there.
14 David stayed in the wilderness(O) strongholds and in the hills of the Desert of Ziph.(P) Day after day Saul searched(Q) for him, but God did not(R) give David into his hands.
15 While David was at Horesh in the Desert of Ziph, he learned that[a] Saul had come out to take his life.(S) 16 And Saul’s son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength(T) in God. 17 “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “My father Saul will not lay a hand on you. You will be king(U) over Israel, and I will be second to you. Even my father Saul knows this.” 18 The two of them made a covenant(V) before the Lord. Then Jonathan went home, but David remained at Horesh.
19 The Ziphites(W) went up to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding among us(X) in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hakilah,(Y) south of Jeshimon? 20 Now, Your Majesty, come down whenever it pleases you to do so, and we will be responsible for giving(Z) him into your hands.”
21 Saul replied, “The Lord bless(AA) you for your concern(AB) for me. 22 Go and get more information. Find out where David usually goes and who has seen him there. They tell me he is very crafty. 23 Find out about all the hiding places he uses and come back to me with definite information. Then I will go with you; if he is in the area, I will track(AC) him down among all the clans of Judah.”
24 So they set out and went to Ziph ahead of Saul. Now David and his men were in the Desert of Maon,(AD) in the Arabah south of Jeshimon.(AE) 25 Saul and his men began the search, and when David was told about it, he went down to the rock and stayed in the Desert of Maon. When Saul heard this, he went into the Desert of Maon in pursuit of David.
26 Saul(AF) was going along one side of the mountain, and David and his men were on the other side, hurrying to get away from Saul. As Saul and his forces were closing in on David and his men to capture them, 27 a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Come quickly! The Philistines are raiding the land.” 28 Then Saul broke off his pursuit of David and went to meet the Philistines. That is why they call this place Sela Hammahlekoth.[b] 29 And David went up from there and lived in the strongholds(AG) of En Gedi.[c](AH)

1 Samuel 23
King James Version
23 Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshingfloors.
2 Therefore David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the Lord said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.
3 And David's men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?
4 Then David enquired of the Lord yet again. And the Lord answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine hand.
5 So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
6 And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.
7 And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.
8 And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
9 And David knew that Saul secretly practised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.
10 Then said David, O Lord God of Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the Lord said, He will come down.
12 Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the Lord said, They will deliver thee up.
13 Then David and his men, which were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth.
14 And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.
15 And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.
16 And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.
17 And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.
18 And they two made a covenant before the Lord: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.
19 Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?
20 Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king's hand.
21 And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the Lord; for ye have compassion on me.
22 Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who hath seen him there: for it is told me that he dealeth very subtilly.
23 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.
24 And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.
25 Saul also and his men went to seek him. And they told David; wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
26 And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them.
27 But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.
28 Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth.
29 And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi.
