撒母耳记上 24
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
大卫在隐.基底不伤扫罗
24 扫罗追赶非利士人回来的时候,有人告诉他说:“看哪,大卫在隐.基底的旷野。”(本节在《马索拉文本》为24:2) 2 扫罗就从以色列人中选出三千精兵,带领他们到野羊盘石去搜索大卫和跟随他的人。 3 到了路旁的羊圈,那里有一个洞,扫罗进去大解;那时,大卫和跟随他的人正坐在洞里的深处。 4 跟随大卫的人对他说:“耶和华曾应许你说:‘我要把你的仇敌交在你的手里,你可以随意待他。’看哪!今天就是时候了。”于是大卫起来,悄悄地割下扫罗外袍的衣边。 5 事后,大卫为了割下扫罗的衣边,心中自责, 6 就对跟随他的人说:“我在耶和华面前绝对不能这样对待我主耶和华的受膏者,我绝对不能动手攻击他,因为他是耶和华的受膏者。” 7 大卫用这些话阻止了跟随他的人,不让他们起来攻击扫罗。扫罗起来,出了山洞,继续走他的路去了。
大卫向扫罗表白
8 随后,大卫也起来,离开了山洞,在扫罗背后呼叫,说:“我主!我王!”扫罗回头向后看的时候,大卫就脸伏于地,向他叩拜。 9 大卫对扫罗说:“你为甚么听信人的话,说:‘大卫想要害你’呢? 10 现在你亲眼看到,今天耶和华在山洞里,把你交在我手里。有人叫我杀你,我却爱惜你。我说:‘我不敢下手伤害我主,因为他是耶和华的受膏者。’ 11 我父啊,请看,你外袍的衣边在我手中。我割下了你外袍的衣边,却没有杀你。你从此可以知道,也可以看出我手中没有邪恶,也没有过犯。我虽然没有得罪你,你却要猎取我的性命。 12 愿耶和华在你我之间判断是非;愿耶和华在你身上为我伸冤。我的手却不敢伤害你。 13 正如古时的格言:‘恶事出于恶人。’所以,我的手不敢伤害你。 14 以色列的王出去追捕谁呢?你现在追赶谁呢?不过是追赶一条死狗,一只跳蚤罢了! 15 愿耶和华在你我中间施行审判,断定是非;愿他鉴察,为我的案件伸冤,救我脱离你的手。”
扫罗认错
16 大卫对扫罗说完了这些话,扫罗就说:“我儿大卫啊,这是你的声音吗?”于是扫罗放声大哭, 17 对大卫说:“你比我公义,因为你以良善待我,我却以恶待你。 18 今天你所作的说明了你以良善待我,因为耶和华把我交在你手里,你却没有杀我。 19 如果人遇见仇敌,怎会让他平平安安离去呢?愿耶和华因你今天对我所作的以福报答你。 20 现在我知道你必要作王,以色列的王国必在你手里坚立起来。 21 现在你要指着耶和华向我起誓,不剪除我的后裔,也不从我父家消灭我的名。” 22 于是大卫向扫罗起誓,扫罗就回自己的家去了,大卫和跟随他的人也上山寨去了。

大卫不杀扫罗
24 扫罗追击非利士人回来,得知大卫在隐·基底的旷野, 2 就率领三千以色列精兵去野羊岩附近搜索大卫和他的部下。 3 他们来到路旁的一处羊圈,那里有一个山洞,扫罗进去大解。大卫和他的部下就躲在洞的深处。 4 大卫的部下对大卫说:“耶和华说过要把你的仇敌交在你手中,任你处置,今天机会来了。”大卫就爬过去,偷偷割了扫罗外袍的一角。 5 事后,大卫心里不安, 6 他对部下说:“我不该做这样的事,我主是耶和华所膏立的王,我绝不出手伤害他,因为他是耶和华所膏立的。” 7 大卫用这些话拦住他的部下,不让他们杀扫罗。
扫罗起来离开山洞走了, 8 大卫随后也来到洞外,在后面喊扫罗:“我主我王啊!”扫罗回头一看,见大卫俯伏在地,向他下拜。 9 大卫对扫罗说:“你为什么听信谗言,认为我要谋害你呢? 10 你现在亲眼看见了,刚才在山洞里,耶和华把你交在我手中,有人叫我杀你,我却不肯,因为你是耶和华所膏立的王,我不会动手伤害你。 11 我父请看,你的这块袍子在我手中。我割下了你的袍角,没有杀你,现在你应该明白我并未图谋背叛你。我没有对不起你,你却要置我于死地。 12 愿耶和华在你我之间判定是非,替我申冤,我却不会动手伤害你。 13 俗语说,‘恶事出于恶人’,所以我不会动手伤害你。 14 以色列王出来要捉拿谁呢?一条死狗吗?一只跳蚤吗? 15 愿耶和华做我们的审判官,在你我之间判定是非。愿耶和华鉴察,为我申冤,从你手中拯救我。”
16 大卫说完了,扫罗问道:“我儿大卫啊!是你吗?”便放声大哭起来。 17 扫罗对大卫说:“你比我公义,因为你善待我,我却恶待你。 18 你今天使我明白你善待了我,耶和华把我交在你手中,你却没有下手杀我。 19 有谁会让自己手中的仇敌平安离去呢?愿耶和华因你今日善待我而赐福你。 20 我知道你必做王,以色列国必在你手中得到坚固。 21 现在请你凭耶和华向我起誓,你不会杀害我的子孙,灭绝我的后代。” 22 大卫便向扫罗起誓。之后,扫罗回家了,大卫和部下也回堡垒去了。
1 Samuel 24
New International Version
David Spares Saul’s Life
24 [a]After Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, he was told, “David is in the Desert of En Gedi.(A)” 2 So Saul took three thousand able young men from all Israel and set out to look(B) for David and his men near the Crags of the Wild Goats.
3 He came to the sheep pens along the way; a cave(C) was there, and Saul went in to relieve(D) himself. David and his men were far back in the cave. 4 The men said, “This is the day the Lord spoke(E) of when he said[b] to you, ‘I will give your enemy into your hands for you to deal with as you wish.’”(F) Then David crept up unnoticed and cut(G) off a corner of Saul’s robe.
5 Afterward, David was conscience-stricken(H) for having cut off a corner of his robe. 6 He said to his men, “The Lord forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the Lord’s anointed,(I) or lay my hand on him; for he is the anointed of the Lord.” 7 With these words David sharply rebuked his men and did not allow them to attack Saul. And Saul left the cave and went his way.
8 Then David went out of the cave and called out to Saul, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground.(J) 9 He said to Saul, “Why do you listen(K) when men say, ‘David is bent on harming(L) you’? 10 This day you have seen with your own eyes how the Lord delivered you into my hands in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared(M) you; I said, ‘I will not lay my hand on my lord, because he is the Lord’s anointed.’ 11 See, my father, look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut(N) off the corner of your robe but did not kill you. See that there is nothing in my hand to indicate that I am guilty(O) of wrongdoing(P) or rebellion. I have not wronged(Q) you, but you are hunting(R) me down to take my life.(S) 12 May the Lord judge(T) between you and me. And may the Lord avenge(U) the wrongs you have done to me, but my hand will not touch you. 13 As the old saying goes, ‘From evildoers come evil deeds,(V)’ so my hand will not touch you.
14 “Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Who are you pursuing? A dead dog?(W) A flea?(X) 15 May the Lord be our judge(Y) and decide(Z) between us. May he consider my cause and uphold(AA) it; may he vindicate(AB) me by delivering(AC) me from your hand.”
16 When David finished saying this, Saul asked, “Is that your voice,(AD) David my son?” And he wept aloud. 17 “You are more righteous than I,”(AE) he said. “You have treated me well,(AF) but I have treated you badly.(AG) 18 You have just now told me about the good you did to me; the Lord delivered(AH) me into your hands, but you did not kill me. 19 When a man finds his enemy, does he let him get away unharmed? May the Lord reward(AI) you well for the way you treated me today. 20 I know that you will surely be king(AJ) and that the kingdom(AK) of Israel will be established in your hands. 21 Now swear(AL) to me by the Lord that you will not kill off my descendants or wipe out my name from my father’s family.(AM)”
22 So David gave his oath to Saul. Then Saul returned home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.(AN)

New King James Version
David Spares Saul
24 Now it happened, (A)when Saul had returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, “Take note! David is in the Wilderness of En Gedi.” 2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel, and (B)went to seek David and his men on the Rocks of the Wild Goats. 3 So he came to the sheepfolds by the road, where there was a cave; and (C)Saul went in to (D)attend to his needs. ((E)David and his men were staying in the recesses of the cave.) 4 (F)Then the men of David said to him, “This is the day of which the Lord said to you, ‘Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as it seems good to you.’ ” And David arose and secretly cut off a corner of Saul’s robe. 5 Now it happened afterward that (G)David’s heart troubled him because he had cut Saul’s robe. 6 And he said to his men, (H)“The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the Lord’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.” 7 So David (I)restrained his servants with these words, and did not allow them to rise against Saul. And Saul got up from the cave and went on his way.
8 David also arose afterward, went out of the cave, and called out to Saul, saying, “My lord the king!” And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed down. 9 And David said to Saul: (J)“Why do you listen to the words of men who say, ‘Indeed David seeks your harm’? 10 Look, this day your eyes have seen that the Lord delivered you today into my hand in the cave, and someone urged me to kill you. But my eye spared you, and I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord’s anointed.’ 11 Moreover, my father, see! Yes, see the corner of your robe in my hand! For in that I cut off the corner of your robe, and did not kill you, know and see that there is (K)neither evil nor rebellion in my hand, and I have not sinned against you. Yet you (L)hunt my life to take it. 12 (M)Let the Lord judge between you and me, and let the Lord avenge me on you. But my hand shall not be against you. 13 As the proverb of the ancients says, (N)‘Wickedness proceeds from the wicked.’ But my hand shall not be against you. 14 After whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? (O)A dead dog? (P)A flea? 15 (Q)Therefore let the Lord be judge, and judge between you and me, and (R)see and (S)plead my case, and deliver me out of your hand.”
16 So it was, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, (T)“Is this your voice, my son David?” And Saul lifted up his voice and wept. 17 (U)Then he said to David: “You are (V)more righteous than I; for (W)you have rewarded me with good, whereas I have rewarded you with evil. 18 And you have shown this day how you have dealt well with me; for when (X)the Lord delivered me into your hand, you did not kill me. 19 For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him get away safely? Therefore may the Lord reward you with good for what you have done to me this day. 20 And now (Y)I know indeed that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand. 21 (Z)Therefore swear now to me by the Lord (AA)that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name from my father’s house.”
22 So David swore to Saul. And Saul went home, but David and his men went up to (AB)the stronghold.
