1 Samuelin 26
Raamattu 1933/38
26 Siifiläiset tulivat Saulin luo Gibeaan ja sanoivat: "Daavid piileksii Gibeat-Hakilassa, kallioerämaan puolella".
2 Niin Saul nousi ja meni Siifin erämaahan, ja hänen kanssansa kolmetuhatta Israelin valiomiestä, etsimään Daavidia Siifin erämaasta.
3 Ja Saul leiriytyi Gibeat-Hakilaan, joka on kallioerämaan puolella tien varrella. Mutta Daavid oleskeli erämaassa. Ja kun Daavid huomasi, että Saul oli tullut hänen jäljessään erämaahan,
4 lähetti hän vakoojia ja sai varman tiedon Saulin tulosta.
5 Niin Daavid nousi ja meni siihen paikkaan, johon Saul oli leiriytynyt; ja Daavid näki, missä paikassa Saul ja hänen sotapäällikkönsä Abner, Neerin poika, makasivat. Saul näet makasi leirissä, ja väki oli asettunut hänen ympärilleen.
6 Ja Daavid puhui heettiläiselle Ahimelekille ja Abisaille, Serujan pojalle, Jooabin veljelle, ja sanoi: "Kuka lähtee minun kanssani Saulin tykö leiriin?" Abisai vastasi: "Minä lähden sinun kanssasi".
7 Niin Daavid ja Abisai menivät yöllä väen luo ja näkivät, että Saul makasi ja nukkui leirissä, ja hänen keihäänsä oli pistettynä maahan hänen päänpohjiinsa; mutta Abner ja väki makasivat hänen ympärillänsä.
8 Ja Abisai sanoi Daavidille: "Jumala on tänä päivänä antanut vihamiehesi sinun käsiisi. Salli nyt minun keihästää hänet maahan; yksi isku vain, toista ei tarvita."
9 Mutta Daavid vastasi Abisaille: "Älä surmaa häntä; sillä kuka on rankaisematta satuttanut kätensä Herran voideltuun?"
10 Ja Daavid sanoi vielä: "Niin totta kuin Herra elää: Herra itse lyö hänet, tahi hänen kuolinpäivänsä tulee, tahi hän menee sotaan ja tuhoutuu siellä.
11 Mutta minä en satuta kättäni Herran voideltuun. Pois se, Herra varjelkoon! Vaan ota nyt keihäs hänen päänpohjistaan ja vesiastia, ja sitten menkäämme."
12 Ja Daavid otti keihään ja vesiastian Saulin päänpohjista, ja sitten he menivät tiehensä. Eikä kukaan nähnyt tai huomannut sitä, eikä kukaan herännyt, vaan he nukkuivat kaikki; sillä Herran lähettämä raskas uni oli vallannut heidät.
13 Kun sitten Daavid oli tullut toiselle puolelle, asettui hän kauas vuoren laelle, pitkän välimatkan päähän.
14 Ja Daavid huusi väelle ja Abnerille, Neerin pojalle, ja sanoi: "Etkö vastaa, Abner?" Abner vastasi ja sanoi: "Kuka sinä olet, joka niin huudat kuninkaalle?"
15 Daavid sanoi Abnerille: "Sinähän olet mies, eikä sinun vertaistasi ole Israelissa. Miksi et sitten vartioinut herraasi, kuningasta? Sillä joku kansasta tuli surmaamaan kuningasta, sinun herraasi.
16 Ei ole hyvin tehty, mitä sinä olet tehnyt. Niin totta kuin Herra elää: te olette kuoleman omat, koska ette vartioineet herraanne, Herran voideltua. Katsohan nyt: missä ovat kuninkaan keihäs ja vesiastia, jotka olivat hänen päänpohjissaan?"
17 Niin Saul tunsi Daavidin äänen ja sanoi: "Sehän on sinun äänesi, poikani Daavid". Daavid vastasi: "Niin on, herrani, kuningas".
18 Ja hän sanoi vielä: "Miksi herrani vainoaa palvelijaansa? Mitä minä olen tehnyt, tahi mitä pahaa minulla on tekeillä?
19 Kuulkoon nyt herrani, kuningas, mitä hänen palvelijansa sanoo: Jos Herra on yllyttänyt sinut minua vastaan, niin saakoon hän tuntea ruokauhrin hajua; mutta jos sen ovat tehneet ihmiset, niin olkoot he kirotut Herran edessä, koska tänä päivänä karkoittavat minut pois Herran perintöosasta, sanoen: 'Mene ja palvele muita jumalia'.
20 Älköön kuitenkaan minun vereni vuotako maahan siellä kaukana Herran kasvoista. Niin, Israelin kuningas on lähtenyt liikkeelle etsimään yhtä kirppua, niinkuin ajetaan peltokanaa vuorilla."
21 Niin Saul sanoi: "Minä olen tehnyt syntiä. Tule takaisin, poikani Daavid; sillä minä en enää tee sinulle pahaa, koska minun henkeni tänä päivänä on ollut kallis sinun silmissäsi. Katso, minä olen tehnyt tyhmästi ja erehtynyt kovin pahoin."
22 Daavid vastasi ja sanoi: "Tässä on kuninkaan keihäs; tulkoon joku miehistä tänne ottamaan sen.
23 Herra palkitsee jokaiselle hänen vanhurskautensa ja uskollisuutensa. Sillä Herra antoi sinut tänä päivänä minun käsiini, mutta minä en tahtonut satuttaa kättäni Herran voideltuun.
24 Katso, niinkuin sinun henkesi tänä päivänä on ollut suuriarvoinen minun silmissäni, niin on myös minun henkeni oleva suuriarvoinen Herran silmissä, ja hän on pelastava minut kaikesta hädästä."
25 Saul sanoi Daavidille: "Siunattu ole sinä, poikani Daavid! Mihin sinä ryhdyt, siihen sinä pystyt." Sitten Daavid meni pois, ja Saul palasi kotiinsa.

David Again Spares Saul’s Life
26 The Ziphites(A) went to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding(B) on the hill of Hakilah, which faces Jeshimon?(C)”
2 So Saul went down to the Desert of Ziph, with his three thousand select Israelite troops, to search(D) there for David. 3 Saul made his camp beside the road on the hill of Hakilah(E) facing Jeshimon, but David stayed in the wilderness. When he saw that Saul had followed him there, 4 he sent out scouts and learned that Saul had definitely arrived.
5 Then David set out and went to the place where Saul had camped. He saw where Saul and Abner(F) son of Ner, the commander of the army, had lain down. Saul was lying inside the camp, with the army encamped around him.
6 David then asked Ahimelek the Hittite(G) and Abishai(H) son of Zeruiah,(I) Joab’s brother, “Who will go down into the camp with me to Saul?”
“I’ll go with you,” said Abishai.
7 So David and Abishai went to the army by night, and there was Saul, lying asleep inside the camp with his spear stuck in the ground near his head. Abner and the soldiers were lying around him.
8 Abishai said to David, “Today God has delivered your enemy into your hands. Now let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; I won’t strike him twice.”
9 But David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed(J) and be guiltless?(K) 10 As surely as the Lord lives,” he said, “the Lord himself will strike(L) him, or his time(M) will come and he will die,(N) or he will go into battle and perish. 11 But the Lord forbid that I should lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed. Now get the spear and water jug that are near his head, and let’s go.”
12 So David took the spear and water jug near Saul’s head, and they left. No one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up. They were all sleeping, because the Lord had put them into a deep sleep.(O)
13 Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on top of the hill some distance away; there was a wide space between them. 14 He called out to the army and to Abner son of Ner, “Aren’t you going to answer me, Abner?”
Abner replied, “Who are you who calls to the king?”
15 David said, “You’re a man, aren’t you? And who is like you in Israel? Why didn’t you guard your lord the king? Someone came to destroy your lord the king. 16 What you have done is not good. As surely as the Lord lives, you and your men must die, because you did not guard your master, the Lord’s anointed. Look around you. Where are the king’s spear and water jug that were near his head?”
17 Saul recognized David’s voice and said, “Is that your voice,(P) David my son?”
David replied, “Yes it is, my lord the king.” 18 And he added, “Why is my lord pursuing his servant? What have I done, and what wrong(Q) am I guilty of? 19 Now let my lord the king listen(R) to his servant’s words. If the Lord has incited you against me, then may he accept an offering.(S) If, however, people have done it, may they be cursed before the Lord! They have driven me today from my share in the Lord’s inheritance(T) and have said, ‘Go, serve other gods.’(U) 20 Now do not let my blood(V) fall to the ground far from the presence of the Lord. The king of Israel has come out to look for a flea(W)—as one hunts a partridge in the mountains.(X)”
21 Then Saul said, “I have sinned.(Y) Come back, David my son. Because you considered my life precious(Z) today, I will not try to harm you again. Surely I have acted like a fool and have been terribly wrong.”
22 “Here is the king’s spear,” David answered. “Let one of your young men come over and get it. 23 The Lord rewards(AA) everyone for their righteousness(AB) and faithfulness. The Lord delivered(AC) you into my hands today, but I would not lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed. 24 As surely as I valued your life today, so may the Lord value my life and deliver(AD) me from all trouble.”
25 Then Saul said to David, “May you be blessed,(AE) David my son; you will do great things and surely triumph.”
So David went on his way, and Saul returned home.
1 Samuel 26
King James Version
1 Samuel 26
King James Version
26 And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?
2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed.
5 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him.
6 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.
7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him.
8 Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.
9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the Lord's anointed, and be guiltless?
10 David said furthermore, As the Lord liveth, the Lord shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.
11 The Lord forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.
12 So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the Lord was fallen upon them.
13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space being between them:
14 And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?
15 And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.
16 This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the Lord liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the Lord's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster.
17 And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.
18 And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand?
19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the Lord have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the Lord; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other gods.
20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the Lord: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.
21 Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
22 And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.
23 The Lord render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the Lord delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed.
24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the Lord, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.
25 Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
