撒母耳记上 23
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
大衛攻打非利士人
23 有人告訴大衛：“看哪，非利士人正在攻打基伊拉，並且搶掠禾場。” 2 大衛就求問耶和華說：“我可以去擊打這些非利士人嗎？”耶和華對大衛說：“你可以去擊打非利士人，拯救基伊拉。” 3 跟隨大衛的人對他說：“看哪，我們在猶大地這裡尚且懼怕，何況到基伊拉去攻打非利士人的軍兵呢？” 4 於是大衛再求問耶和華。耶和華回答他說：“你只管起來，下到基伊拉去，因為我必把非利士人交在你的手裡。” 5 大衛和跟隨他的人就到基伊拉去，與非利士人爭戰，擄走了他們的牲畜，又在他們中間殺戮多人。這樣，大衛拯救了基伊拉的居民。
6 亞希米勒的兒子亞比亞他逃到基伊拉去見大衛的時候，是手裡帶著以弗得下來的。 7 有人告訴掃羅，大衛到了基伊拉，掃羅就說：“ 神把他交在我的手中了，因為他進了一座有門有閂的城，把自己關閉起來了。” 8 於是掃羅召集眾人去爭戰，要下到基伊拉去，圍困大衛和跟隨他的人。 9 大衛知道掃羅設計害他，就對亞比亞他祭司說：“把以弗得拿來！” 10 大衛說：“耶和華以色列的 神啊！你僕人確實聽見了掃羅想要到基伊拉來，為了我的緣故要毀滅這城。 11 基伊拉人會把我交在掃羅的手裡嗎？掃羅會照著你僕人所聽到的下來嗎？耶和華以色列的 神啊！求你告訴你僕人。”耶和華說：“他必下來。” 12 大衛又說：“基伊拉人會把我和跟隨我的人交在掃羅手裡嗎？”耶和華說：“他們必把你們交出來。” 13 大衛和跟從他的人，約有六百人，就起身離開基伊拉，到處漂泊。有人告訴掃羅，大衛已經逃離了基伊拉，掃羅就不出去了。 14 大衛住在曠野的山寨裡，又住在西弗曠野的山裡。掃羅天天尋索大衛， 神卻不把大衛交在他手裡。
大衛再與約拿單立約
15 大衛懼怕，因為掃羅出來尋索他的命。那時大衛住在西弗曠野的何列斯那裡。 16 掃羅的兒子約拿單起身，到何列斯去見大衛，鼓勵他，使他靠 神堅強起來， 17 對他說：“你不要懼怕！我父親掃羅的手必不能害你。你必要作以色列的王，我要在你以下位居第二，這事連我父親掃羅也知道了。” 18 於是他們二人在耶和華面前立了約。大衛仍住在何列斯，約拿單卻回自己的家去了。
19 西弗人上到基比亞去見掃羅，說：“大衛不是在我們這裡的何列斯的山寨，就是在曠野南邊的哈基拉山上藏著嗎？ 20 王啊，現在請下來，請你隨著你的心願下來，我們必親自把他交在王的手裡。” 21 掃羅說：“願耶和華賜福你們，因為你們關心我。 22 你們要去再確實查看他腳蹤所到的地方，有誰看見他在那裡，因為有人對我說，他非常狡猾。 23 你們要去查看他所有藏身的地方，確定以後再回來見我，我就與你們同去；如果他在本地，我必從猶大的千門萬戶中把他搜出來。”
掃羅在瑪雲曠野追尋大衛
24 於是西弗人起身，在掃羅以先到西弗去了。那時大衛和跟隨他的人卻在瑪雲曠野，就是在荒野南邊的亞拉巴。 25 掃羅和跟隨他的人去尋找大衛。有人告訴大衛，他就下到磐石那裡，留在瑪雲曠野。掃羅聽見了，就在瑪雲曠野追趕大衛。 26 掃羅在山這邊走，大衛和跟隨他的人卻在山那邊走。大衛匆匆忙忙逃避掃羅，掃羅和跟隨他的人卻四面包圍大衛和跟隨他的人，要把他們捉住。 27 那時忽有使者來見掃羅說：“請你趕快回去，因為非利士人來突擊這地。” 28 於是掃羅不再追趕大衛，回去迎戰非利士人。因此這地方被稱為西拉．哈瑪希羅結。 29 大衛從那裡上去，住在隱．基底的山寨裡。（本節在《馬索拉文本》為24:1）

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)

David Saves the City of Keilah
23 Then they told David, saying, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against (A)Keilah, and they are robbing the threshing floors.”
2 Therefore David (B)inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go and [a]attack these Philistines?”
And the Lord said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
3 But David’s men said to him, “Look, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?” 4 Then David inquired of the Lord once again.
And the Lord answered him and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.” 5 And David and his men went to Keilah and (C)fought with the Philistines, struck them with a mighty blow, and took away their livestock. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
6 Now it happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech (D)fled to David at Keilah, that he went down with an ephod in his hand.
7 And Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah. So Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he has shut himself in by entering a town that has gates and bars.” 8 Then Saul called all the people together for war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.
9 When David knew that Saul plotted evil against him, (E)he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.” 10 Then David said, “O Lord God of Israel, Your servant has certainly heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah (F)to destroy the city for my sake. 11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O Lord God of Israel, I pray, tell Your servant.”
And the Lord said, “He will come down.”
12 Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah [b]deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?”
And the Lord said, “They will deliver you.”
13 So David and his men, (G)about six hundred, arose and departed from Keilah and went wherever they could go. Then it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah; so he halted the expedition.
David in Wilderness Strongholds
14 And David stayed in strongholds in the wilderness, and remained in (H)the mountains in the Wilderness of (I)Ziph. Saul (J)sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand. 15 So David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. And David was in the Wilderness of Ziph [c]in a forest. 16 Then Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went to David in the woods and [d]strengthened his hand in God. 17 And he said to him, (K)“Do not fear, for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you. You shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you. (L)Even my father Saul knows that.” 18 So the two of them (M)made a covenant before the Lord. And David stayed in the woods, and Jonathan went to his own house.
19 Then the Ziphites (N)came up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is David not hiding with us in strongholds in the woods, 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 your soul to come down; and (O)our part shall be to deliver him into the king’s hand.”
21 And Saul said, “Blessed are you of the Lord, for you have compassion on me. 22 Please go and find out for sure, and see the place where his hideout is, and who has seen him there. For I am told he is very crafty. 23 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides; and come back to me with certainty, and I will go with you. And it shall be, if he is in the land, that I will search for him throughout all the [e]clans of Judah.”
24 So they arose and went to Ziph before Saul. But David and his men were in the Wilderness (P)of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon. 25 When Saul and his men went to seek him, they told David. Therefore he went down [f]to the rock, and stayed in the Wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued David in the Wilderness of Maon. 26 Then Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain. (Q)So David made haste to get away from Saul, for Saul and his men (R)were encircling David and his men to take them.
27 (S)But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have invaded the land!” 28 Therefore Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines; so they called that place [g]the Rock of Escape. 29 Then David went up from there and dwelt in strongholds at (T)En Gedi.
