Давид в Кеиле
23 Давиду сказали: «Посмотри, филистимляне напали на Кеиль и грабят зерно с токов».
2 Давид спросил Господа: «Должен ли я пойти и сразиться с этими филистимлянами?»
Господь ответил: «Да, пойди и сразись с филистимлянами, и спаси Кеиль».
3 Но люди Давида сказали ему: «Мы боимся даже здесь в Иудее. Ты только подумай, что будет, если мы пойдём в Кеиль против армии филистимлян!»
4 Тогда Давид снова спросил Господа, и Господь ответил ему: «Иди в Кеиль, и Я помогу тебе разбить филистимлян». 5 Давид пошёл со своими людьми в Кеиль, и они сразились с филистимлянами. Они нанесли филистимлянам крупное поражение и угнали их скот, и так Давид спас жителей этого города. 6 Когда Авиафар, сын Ахимелеха, бежал к Давиду, он принёс с собой ефод.
7 Саулу донесли, что Давид находится в Кеиле, и он сказал: «Бог предал его в мои руки! Давид попал в западню, так как зашёл в город с воротами и запорами». 8 И созвал Саул свою армию на войну, чтобы идти к Кеилю и напасть на Давида и его людей.
9 Когда Давид узнал, что Саул задумал против него, он сказал священнику Авиафару: «Принеси ефод».
10 И сказал Давид: «Господи, Бог Израиля, я услышал, что Саул хочет прийти в Кеиль и разрушить город из-за меня. 11 Так ли это? Придёт ли сюда Саул? И выдадут ли жители Кеиля меня в руки Саула? Господи, Бог Израиля, ответь слуге твоему!»
Господь ответил: «Придёт».
12 Давид снова спросил: «Отдадут ли жители Кеиля меня и людей моих в руки Саула?»
Господь ответил: «Отдадут».
13 Тогда Давид и его люди, которых было около шестисот человек, покинули Кеиль и переходили с одного места на другое. Но, когда Саулу донесли, что Давид бежал из Кеиля, он не пошёл туда.
Саул преследует Давида
14 Давид ушёл в пустыню Зиф и прятался там в горах и крепостях. Саул же искал его день за днём, но Господь[a] не позволял ему поймать Давида.
15 Находясь в Хоресе[b] в пустыне Зиф, Давид узнал, что Саул вышел, чтобы убить его. 16 Но сын Саула Ионафан пришёл к Давиду в Хорес, воодушевил и укрепил его веру в Бога. 17 Ионафан сказал Давиду: «Не бойся. Мой отец Саул не сделает тебе ничего. Ты станешь царём Израиля, а я буду вторым после тебя. Даже мой отец знает это».
18 И они оба заключили соглашение перед Господом. Ионафан пошёл домой, а Давид остался в Хоресе.
Зифеи доносят Саулу о Давиде
19 Зифеи пришли к Саулу в Гиву и донесли ему: «Давид прячется у нас в крепости Хореса на холме Гахил, к югу от Иесимона. 20 Приходи, царь, когда пожелаешь, а нашим делом будет передать его в твои руки».
21 И ответил им Саул: «Благословит вас Господь за то, что вы помогаете мне. 22 Идите и разведайте больше о нём. Узнайте, где он находится, и кто видел его там. Мне сказали, что он очень хитёр и хочет провести меня. 23 Высмотрите все места, в которых скрывается Давид, а затем возвращайтесь и расскажите мне обо всём. Тогда я пойду с вами, и если Давид там, то я найду его, даже если мне придётся искать его во всех семьях Иудеи».
24 Тогда зифеи вернулись в Зиф раньше Саула.
Давид же со своими людьми находился в пустыне Маон, к югу от Иесимона.
25 Саул со своими людьми отправился на поиски Давида, но его предупредили об этом, и он перешёл к «Скале» в пустыне Маон. Узнав об этом, Саул пошёл туда, разыскивая Давида.
26 Саул шёл с одной стороны горы, а Давид и его люди на другой стороне горы торопились уйти от царя, в то время как Саул со своими людьми обходил гору, чтобы захватить их.
27 Затем к Саулу пришёл вестник и сказал: «Скорее возвращайся! Филистимляне напали на нас!»
28 Тогда Саул перестал преследовать Давида и пошёл сражаться с филистимлянами. Поэтому люди назвали это место «Села-Гаммахлекоф»[c].

Давид спасает Кеилу
23 Когда Давиду сказали: «Послушай, филистимляне воюют против города Кеилы и грабят гумна», 2 он вопросил Господа:
– Пойти ли мне и напасть ли на этих филистимлян?
Господь ответил ему:
– Пойди, напади на филистимлян и спаси Кеилу.
3 Но люди Давида сказали ему:
– Мы боимся даже здесь, в Иудее. Что же будет, если мы двинемся в Кеилу против войск филистимлян!
4 Давид еще раз вопросил Господа, и Господь ответил ему:
– Спустись в Кеилу, потому что Я отдаю филистимлян в твои руки.
5 И Давид со своими людьми пришел в Кеилу, сразился с филистимлянами и увел их скот. Он нанес филистимлянам тяжелые потери и спас жителей Кеилы. 6 (А Авиатар, сын Ахимелеха, принес с собой эфод, когда прибежал к Давиду в Кеилу.)
Саул преследует Давида
7 Саулу донесли, что Давид пришел в Кеилу, и он сказал:
– Бог отдал его мне, ведь Давид сам запер себя, войдя в город с воротами и засовами.
8 Саул созвал для битвы весь народ, чтобы сойти в Кеилу и осадить в нем Давида вместе с его людьми.
9 Когда Давид узнал, что Саул задумал против него зло, он сказал священнику Авиатару:
– Принеси эфод.
10 Давид сказал:
– О Господь, Бог Израиля, Твой слуга услышал, что Саул собирается прийти в Кеилу и разорить город из-за меня. 11 Выдадут ли меня ему жители Кеилы? Придет ли сюда Саул, как слышал Твой слуга? Господи, Бог Израиля, молю Тебя, скажи Твоему слуге!
Господь ответил:
– Придет.
12 Давид спросил опять:
– Выдадут ли ему жители Кеилы меня и моих людей?
Господь ответил:
– Выдадут.
13 Давид и его люди, которых было около шестисот человек, покинули Кеилу и скитались, где могли. Когда Саулу донесли, что Давид убежал из Кеилы, он отменил поход.
14 Давид был в неприступных местах в пустыне, в горах пустыни Зиф. Изо дня в день Саул искал Давида, но Бог не отдавал Давида ему в руки.
15 Давид был в Хореше, в пустыне Зиф, когда узнал, что Саул ищет его и хочет убить. 16 Сын Саула Ионафан пришел к Давиду в Хореш и помог ему укрепиться в Боге.
17 – Не бойся, – сказал он. – Рука моего отца Саула не найдет тебя. Ты будешь царем над Израилем, а я буду вторым после тебя. Даже мой отец Саул это знает.
18 Затем они оба заключили перед Господом союз. Ионафан пошел домой, а Давид остался в Хореше.
19 Зифиты поднялись к Саулу в Гиву и сказали:
– Разве Давид не скрывается у нас в неприступных местах Хореша, на горе Хахила, к югу от Иешимона? 20 Сойди, царь, когда это будет тебе угодно, а уж мы отвечаем за то, чтобы передать его царю.
21 Саул ответил:
– Благословенны вы у Господа за то, что пожалели меня! 22 Ступайте и удостоверьтесь еще раз. Разведайте, где Давид обычно ходит и кто видел его там. Мне говорят, что он очень хитер. 23 Разведайте все его укрытия, где он прячется, и возвращайтесь ко мне с достоверными сведениями. Тогда я пойду с вами; если он еще в стране, то я его найду, даже если мне придется искать среди всех кланов Иудеи.
24 Они отправились в путь и пришли в Зиф перед Саулом. Давид и его люди были в пустыне Маон, что в Иорданской долине, к югу от Иешимона. 25 Саул и его люди принялись искать, и когда об этом сказали Давиду, он спустился к скале и оставался в пустыне Маон. Когда Саул услышал об этом, он погнался за Давидом в пустыню Маон. 26 Саул шел по одной стороне горы, а Давид со своими людьми – по другой. Давид спешил скрыться от Саула, а Саул и его люди шли в обход к Давиду и его людям, чтобы схватить их. 27 Тогда к Саулу пришел вестник, который сказал:
– Скорее возвращайся! Филистимляне устроили набег на землю.
28 Саул прекратил преследовать Давида и пошел на филистимлян. Вот почему это место было названо Скала разделения[a].

1 Samuel 23
King James Version
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.

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.
