And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου, καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτὴν εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ, καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἔθηκεν ἐν τῷ σκηνώματι αὐτοῦ.
And there came out women in dances to meet David out of all the cities of Israel, with timbrels, and with rejoicing, and with cymbals.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐξῆλθον αἱ χορεύουσαι εἰς συνάντησιν Δαυὶδ ἐκ πασῶν πόλεων Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τυμπάνοις, καὶ ἐν χαρμοσύνῃ, καὶ ἐν κυμβάλοις.
And the women began [the strain], and said, Saul has smitten his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐξῆρχον αἱ γυναῖκες, καὶ ἔλεγον, ἐπάταξε Σαοὺλ ἐν χιλιάσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ Δαυὶδ ἐν μυριάσιν αὐτοῦ.
And it seemed evil in the eyes of Saul concerning this matter, and he said, To David they have given ten thousands, and to me they have given thousands.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ πονηρὸν ἐφάνη τὸ ῥῆμα ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Σαοὺλ περὶ τοῦ λόγου τούτου, καὶ εἶπε, τῷ Δαυὶδ ἔδωκαν τὰς μυριάδας, καὶ ἐμοὶ ἔδωκαν τὰς χιλιάδας.
And Saul was alarmed on account of David.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐφοβήθη Σαοὺλ ἀπὸ προσώπου Δαυὶδ,
And he removed him from him, and made him a captain of a thousand for himself; and he went out and came in before the people.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτὸν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ἑαυτῷ χιλίαρχον· καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο καὶ εἰσεπορεύετο ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ λαοῦ.
And David was prudent in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἦν Δαυὶδ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ συνιῶν, καὶ Κύριος ἦν μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
And Saul saw that he was very wise, and he was afraid of him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶδε Σαοὺλ ὡς αὐτὸς συνιεῖ σφόδρα, καὶ εὐλαβεῖτο ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ.
And all Israel and Juda loved David, because he came in and went out before the people.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδας ἠγάπα τὸν Δαυὶδ, ὅτι αὐτὸς εἰσεπορεύετο καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸ προσώπου τοῦ λαοῦ.
And Melchol the daughter of Saul loved David; and it was told Saul, and the thing was pleasing in his eyes.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἠγάπησε Μελχὸλ ἡ θυγάτηρ Σαοὺλ τὸν Δαυίδ· καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαοὺλ, καὶ ηὐθύνθη ἐν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ.
And Saul said, I will give her to him, and she shall be a stumbling-block to him. Now the hand of the Philistines was against Saul.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ, δώσω αὐτὴν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ εἰς σκάνδαλον· καὶ ἦν ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ χεὶρ ἀλλοφύλων.
And Saul charged his servants, saying, Speak ye privately to David, saying, Behold, the king delights in thee, and all his servants love thee, and do thou become the king's son-in-law.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐνετείλατο Σαοὺλ τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ, λέγων, λαλήσατε ὑμεῖς λάθρα τῷ Δαυὶδ, λέγοντες, ἰδοὺ θέλει ἐν σοὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς, καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἀγαπῶσί σε, καὶ σὺ ἐπιγάμβρευσον τῷ βασιλεῖ.
And the servants of Saul spoke these words in the ears of David; and David said, [Is it] a light thing in your eyes to become son-in-law to the king? whereas I [am] an humble man, and not honourable?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐλάλησαν οἱ παῖδες Σαοὺλ εἰς τὰ ὦτα Δαυὶδ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα· καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ, εἰ κούφον ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ὑμῶν ἐπιγαμβρεῦσαι βασιλεῖ; κᾀγὼ ἀνὴρ ταπεινὸς, καὶ οὐχὶ ἔνδοξος.
And the servants of Saul reported to him according to these words, which David spoke.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπήγγειλαν οἱ παῖδες Σαοὺλ αὐτῷ κατὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα, ἃ ἐλάλησε Δαυίδ.
And Saul said, Thus shall ye speak to David, The king wants no gift but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to avenge himself on the king's enemies. Now Saul thought to cast him into the hands of the Philistines.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ, τάδε ἐρεῖτε τῷ Δαυὶδ, οὐ βούλεται ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν δόματι ἀλλʼ ἢ ἐν ἑκατὸν ἀκροβυστίαις ἀλλοφύλων ἐκδικῆσαι ἐχθροὺς τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ Σαοὺλ ἐλογίσατο ἐμβαλεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.
And the servants of Saul report these words to David, and David was well pleased to become the son-in-law to the king.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπαγγέλλουσιν οἱ παῖδες Σαοὺλ τῷ Δαυὶδ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα, καὶ ηὐθύνθη ὁ λόγος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Δαυὶδ ἐπιγαμβρεῦσαι τῷ βασιλεῖ.
And David arose, and went, he and his men, and smote among the Philistines a hundred men: and he brought their foreskins, and he becomes the king's son-in-law, and [Saul] gives him Melchol his daughter to wife.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις ἑκατὸν ἄνδρας· καὶ ἀνήνεγκε τὰς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπιγαμβρεύεται τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ δίδωσιν αὐτῷ τὴν Μελχὸλ θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα.
And Saul saw that the Lord [was] with David, and [that] all Israel loved him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶδε Σαοὺλ ὅτι Κύριος μετὰ Δαυὶδ, καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ἠγάπα αὐτόν.
And he was yet more afraid of David.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ προσέθετο εὐλαβεῖσθαι ἀπὸ Δαυὶδ ἔτι.
And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, to slay David.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐλάλησε Σαοὺλ πρὸς Ἰωνάθαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ πρὸς πὰντας τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ θανατῶσαι τὸν Δαυίδ.
And Jonathan, Saul's son, loved David much: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul seeks to kill thee: take heed to thyself therefore to-morrow morning, and hide thyself, and dwell in secret.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ Ἰωνάθαν ὁ υἱὸς Σαοὺλ ἡρεῖτο τὸν Δαυὶδ σφόδρα· καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν Ἰωνάθαν τῷ Δαυὶδ, λέγων, Σαοὺλ ζητεῖ θανατῶσαί σε· φύλαξαι οὖν αὔριον πρωῒ, καὶ κρύβηθι καὶ κάθισον κρυδῇ·
And I will go forth, and stand near my father in the field where thou shalt be, and I will speak concerning thee to my father; and I will see what his answer may be, and I will tell thee.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγὼ ἐξελεύσομαι καὶ στήσομαι ἐχόμενος τοῦ πατρός μου ἐν ἀγρῷ οὗ ἐὰν ᾖς ἐκεῖ· καὶ ἐγὼ λαλήσω περὶ σοῦ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου, καὶ ὄψομαι ὅ, τι ἐὰν ᾖ, καὶ ἀπαγγελῶ σοι.
And Jonathan spoke favourably concerning David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against thy servant David, for he has not sinned against thee, and his deeds [are] very good.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐλάλησεν Ἰωνάθαν περὶ Δαυὶδ ἀγαθὰ πρὸς Σαοὺλ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν, μὴ ἁμαρτησάτω ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς τὸν δοῦλόν σου Δαυὶδ, ὅτι οὐχ ἡμάρτηκεν εἰς σὲ, καὶ τὰ ποιήματα αὐτοῦ ἀγαθὰ σφόδρα·
And he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great deliverance; and all Israel saw, and rejoiced: why then dost thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔθετο τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν ἀλλόφυλον, καὶ ἐποίησε Κύριος σωτηρίαν μεγάλην, καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ εἶδον, καὶ ἐχάρησαν· καὶ ἱνατί ἁμαρτάνεις εἰς αἷμα ἀθῶον θανατῶσαι τὸν Δαυὶδ δωρεάν;
And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, saying, [As] the Lord lives, he shall not die.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἤκουσε Σαοὺλ τῆς φωνῆς Ἰωνάθαν· καὶ ὤμοσε Σαοὺλ, λέγων, ζῇ Κύριος, εἰ ἀποθανεῖται.
And Jonathan called David, and told him all these words; and Jonathan brought David in to Saul, and he was before him as in former times.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἰωνάθαν τὸν Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα· καὶ εἰσήγαγεν Ἰωνάθαν τὸν Δαυὶδ πρὸς Σαοὺλ, καὶ ἦν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν.
And there was again war against Saul; and David did valiantly, and fought against the Philistines, and smote them with a very great slaughter, and they fled from before him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ προσέθετο ὁ πόλεμος γενέσθαι πρὸς Σαοὺλ, καὶ κατίσχυσε Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐπολέμησε τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτοῖς πληγὴν μεγάλην σφόδρα, καὶ ἔφυγον ἐκ προσώπου αὐτοῦ.
And an evil spirit from God was upon Saul, and he was resting in his house, and a spear [was] in his hand, and David was playing on the harp with his hands.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγένετο πνεῦμα Θεοῦ πονηρὸν ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν οἴκῳ καθεύδων, καὶ δόρυ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ Δαυὶδ ἔψαλλε ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ.
And Saul sought to smite David with the spear; and David withdrew [suddenly] from the presence of Saul; and he drove the spear into the wall; and David retreated and escaped.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐζήτει Σαοὺλ πατάξαι τὸ δόρυ εἰς Δαυίδ· καὶ ἀπέστη Δαυὶδ ἐκ προσώπου Σαούλ· καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸ δόρυ εἰς τὸν τοῖχον· καὶ Δαυὶδ ἀνεχώρησε καὶ διεσώθη.
And it came to pass in that night, that Saul sent messengers to the house of David to watch him, in order to slay him in the morning; and Melchol David's wife told him, saying, Unless thou save thy life this night, to-morrow thou shalt be slain.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἀπέστειλε Σαοὺλ ἀγγελους εἰς οἶκον Δαυὶδ φυλάξαι αὐτὸν, τοῦ θανατῶσαι αὐτὸν πρωΐ· καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ Δαυὶδ Μελχὸλ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, λέγουσα, ἐὰν μὴ σὺ σώσῃς τὴν ψυχὴν σαυτοῦ τὴν νύκτα ταύτην, αὔριον θανατωθήσῃ.
So Melchol lets David down by the window, and he departed, and fled, and escaped.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ κατάγει ἡ Μελχὸλ τὸν Δαυὶδ διὰ τῆς θυρίδος, καὶ ἀπῆλθε καὶ ἔφυγε καὶ σώζεται.
And Melchol took images, and laid them on the bed, and she put the liver of a goat by his head, and covered them with clothes.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ Μελχὸλ τὰ κενοτάφια, καὶ ἔθετο ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην, καὶ ἧπαρ τῶν αἰγῶν ἔθετο πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκάλυψεν αὐτὰ ἱματίῳ.
And Saul sent messengers to take David; and they say that he is sick.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπέστειλε Σαοὺλ ἀγγέλους λαβεῖν τὸν Δαυὶδ, καὶ λέγουσιν ἐνοχλεῖσθαι αὐτόν.
And he sends to David, saying, Bring him to me on the bed, that I may slay him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀποστέλλει ἐπὶ τὸν Δαυὶδ, λέγων, ἀγάγετε αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης πρὸς μὲ τοῦ θανατῶσαι αὐτόν.
And the messengers come, and, behold, the images [were] on the bed, and the goat's liver at his head.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔρχονται οἱ ἄγγελοι, καὶ ἰδοὺ τὰ κενοτάφια ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης, καὶ ἧπαρ τῶν αἰγῶν πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ.
And Saul said to Melchol, Why hast thou thus deceived me, and suffered my enemy to depart, and he has escaped? and Melchol said to Saul, He said, Let me go, and if not, I will slay thee.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ τῇ Μελχὸλ, ἱνατί οὕτως παρελογίσω με, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλας τὸν ἐχθρόν μου, καὶ διεσώθη; καὶ εἶπε Μελχὸλ τῷ Σαοὺλ, αὐτὸς εἶπεν, ἐξαπόστειλόν με, εἰ δὲ μὴ, θανατώσω σε.
So David fled, and escaped, and comes to Samuel to Armathaim, and tells him all that Saul had done to him: and Samuel and David went, and dwelt in Navath in Rama.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ Δαυὶδ ἔφυγε καὶ διεσώθη, καὶ παραγίνεται πρὸς Σαμουὴλ εἰς Ἀρμαθαὶμ, καὶ ἀπαγγέλλει αὐτῷ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ Σαούλ· καὶ ἐπορεύθη Σαμουὴλ καὶ Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν Ναυὰθ ἐν Ῥαμᾶ.
And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] in Navath in Rama.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαοὺλ, λέγοντες, ἰδοὺ Δαυὶδ ἐν Ναυὰθ ἐν Ῥαμᾴ.
And Saul sent messengers to take David, and they saw the assembly of the prophets, and Samuel stood [as] appointed over them; and the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they prophesy.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπέστειλε Σαοὺλ ἀγγέλους λαβεῖν τὸν Δαυὶδ, καὶ εἶδον τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τῶν προφητῶν, καὶ Σαμουὴλ εἱστήκει καθεστηκὼς ἐπʼ αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐπὶ τούς ἀγγέλους τοῦ Σαοὺλ πνεῦμα Θεοῦ, καὶ προφητεύουσι.
And it was told Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied: and Saul sent again a third set of messengers, and they also prophesied.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαοὺλ, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους ἑτέρους, καὶ ἐπροφήτευσαν καὶ αὐτοί· καὶ προσέθετο Σαοὺλ ἀποστεῖλαι ἀγγέλους τρίτους, καὶ ἐπροφήτευσαν καὶ αὐτοί.
And Saul was very angry, and went himself also to Armathaim, and he comes as far as the well of the threshing-floor that is in Sephi; and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? and they said, Behold, in Navath in Rama.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ Σαοὺλ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ αὐτὸς εἰς Ἁρμαθαὶμ, καὶ ἔρχεται ἕως τοῦ φρέατος τοῦ ἅλω τοῦ ἐν τῷ Σεφί, καὶ ἠρώτησε καὶ εἶπε, ποῦ Σαμουὴλ καὶ Δαυίδ; καὶ εἶπαν, ἰδοὺ ἐν Ναυὰθ ἐν Ῥαμᾷ.
And he went thence to Navath in Rama: and there came the Spirit of God upon him also, and he went on prophesying till he came to Navath in Rama.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Ναυὰθ ἐν Ῥαμᾷ· καὶ ἐγενήθη καὶ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ πνεῦμα Θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπορεύετο προφητεύων ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν αὐτὸν εἰς Ναυὰθ ἐν Ῥαμᾷ.
And he took off his clothes, and prophesied before them; and lay down naked all that day and all that night: therefore they said, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐξεδύσατο τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπροφήτευσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν· καὶ ἔπεσε γυμνὸς ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἐκείνην καὶ ὅλην τὴν νύκτα· διὰ τοῦτο ἔλεγον, εἰ καὶ Σαοὺλ ἐν προφήταις;
And David fled from Navath in Rama, and comes into the presence of Jonathan; and he said, What have I done, and what [is] my fault, and wherein have I sinned before thy father, that he seeks my life?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπέδρα Δαυὶδ ἐκ Ναυὰθ ἐν Ῥαμᾷ, καὶ ἔρχεται ἐνώπιον Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ εἶπε, τί πεποίηκα, καὶ τί τὸ ἀδίκημά μου, καὶ τί ἡμάρτηκα ἐνώπιον τοῦ πατρός σου, ὅτι ἐπιζητεῖ τὴν ψυχήν μου;
And Jonathan said to him, Far be it from thee: thou shalt not die: behold, my father will not do any thing great or small without discovering it to me; and why should my father hide this matter from me? this thing is not [so].
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰωνάθαν, μηδαμῶς σοι, οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνῃς· ἰδοὺ οὐ μὴ ποιήσῃ ὁ πατήρ μου ῥῆμα μέγα ἢ μικρὸν, καὶ οὐκ ἀποκαλύψει τὸ ὠτίον μου· καὶ τί ὅτι κρύψει ὁ πατήρ μου ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο; οὐκ ἔστι τοῦτο.
And David answered Jonathan, and said, Thy father knows surely that I have found grace in thy sight, and he said, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he refuse his consent: but [as] the Lord lives and thy soul lives, as I said, [the space] is filled up between me and death.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπεκρίθη Δαυὶδ τῷ Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ εἶπε, γινώσκων οἶδεν ὁ πατήρ σου, ὅτι, εὕρηκα χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, καὶ εἶπε, μὴ γνῶναι τοῦτο Ἰωνάθαν, μὴ οὐ βούληται· ἀλλὰ ζῇ Κύριος καὶ ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, ὅτι καθὼς εἶπον, ἐμπέπλησται ἀναμέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ τοῦ θανάτου.
And Jonathan said to David, What does thy soul desire, and what shall I do for thee?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν Ἰωνάθαν πρὸς Δαυὶδ, τί ἐπιθυμεῖ ἡ ψυχή σου, καὶ τί ποιήσω σοι;
And David said to Jonathan, Behold, to-morrow [is] the new moon, and I shall not on any account sit down to eat, but thou shalt let me go, and I will hide in the plain till the evening.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ἰωνάθαν, ἰδοὺ δὴ νεομηνία αὔριον, καὶ ἐγὼ καθίσας οὐ καθήσομαι φαγεῖν, καὶ ἐξαποστελεῖς με, καὶ κρυβήσομαι ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ ἕως δείλης.
And if thy father do in anywise enquire for me, then shalt thou say, David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethleem his city, for [there is] there a yearly sacrifice for all the family.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐὰν ἐπισκεπτόμενος ἐπισκέψηταί με ὁ πατήρ σου, καὶ ἐρεῖς, παραιτούμενος παρῃτήσατο ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ Δαυὶδ δραμεῖν ἕως εἰς Βηθλεὲμ τὴν πόλιν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι θυσία τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκεῖ ὅλῃ τῇ φυλῇ.
If he shall say thus, Well,— [all is] safe for thy servant: but if he shall answer harshly to thee, know that evil is determined by him.
Greek · SeptuagintἘὰν τάδε εἴπῃ, ἀγαθῶς, εἰρήνη τῷ δούλῳ σου· καὶ ἐὰν σκληρῶς ἀποκριθῇ σοι, γνῶθι ὅτι συντετέλεσται ἡ κακία παρʼ αὐτοῦ.
And thou shalt deal mercifully with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the Lord with thyself: and if there is iniquity in thy servant, slay me thyself; but why dost thou thus bring me to thy father?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ποιήσεις ἔλεος μετὰ δούλου σου, ὅτι εἰσήγαγες εἰς διαθήκην Κυρίου τὸν δοῦλόν σου μετὰ σεαυτοῦ· καὶ εἰ ἔστιν ἀδικία ἐν τῷ δούλῳ σου, θανάτωσόν με σὺ, καὶ ἕως τοῦ πατρός σου ἱνατί οὕτως εἰσάγεις με;
And Jonathan said, That be far from thee: for if I surely know that evil is determined by my father to come upon thee, although it should not be against thy cities, I will tell thee.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν Ἰωνάθαν, μηδαμῶς σοι· ὅτι ἐὰν γινῶσκων γνῶ ὅτι συντετέλεσται ἡ κακία παρὰ τοῦ πατρός μου τοῦ ἐλθεῖν ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ ἐὰν μὴ ᾖ εἰς τὰς πόλεις σου, ἐγὼ ἀπαγγελῶ σοι.
And David said to Jonathan, Who can tell me if thy father should answer roughly?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ἰωνάθαν, τίς ἀπαγγείλῃ μοι, ἐὰν ἀποκριθῇ ὁ πατήρ σου σκληρῶς;
And Jonathan said to David, Go, and abide in the field. And they went out both into the field.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν Ἰωνάθαν πρὸς Δαυὶδ, πορεύου, καὶ μὲνε εἰς ἀγρόν· καὶ ἐκπορεύονται ἀμφότεροι εἰς ἀγρόν.
And Jonathan said to David, The Lord God of Israel knows that I will sound my father as I have an opportunity, three several times, and, behold, [if good] should be determined concerning David, and I do not send to thee to the field,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν Ἰωνάθαν πρὸς Δαυὶδ, Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ οἶδεν, ὅτι ἀνακρινῶ τὸν πάτερα μου ὡς ἂν ὁ καιρὸς, τρισσῶς, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀγαθὸν ᾖ περὶ Δαυὶδ, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποστείλω πρὸς σὲ εἰς ἀγρὸν,
God do so to Jonathan and more also: as I shall [also] report the evil to thee, and make it known to thee, and I will let thee go; and thou shalt depart in peace, and the Lord shall be with thee, as he was with my father.
Greek · Septuagintτάδε ποιήσαι ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἰωνάθαν καὶ τάδε προσθείη· ὅτι ἀνοίσω τὰ κακὰ ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ ἀποκαλύψω τὸ ὠτίον σου, καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ σε καὶ ἀπελεύσῃ εἰς εἰρήνην, καὶ ἔσται Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ καθὼς ἦν μετὰ τοῦ πατρός μου.
And if indeed I continue to live, then shalt thou deal mercifully with me; and if I indeed die,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐὰν μὲν ἔτι μου ζῶντος, καὶ ποιήσεις ἔλεος μετʼ ἐμοῦ· καὶ ἐὰν θανάτῳ ἀποθάνω,
thou shalt not withdraw thy mercy from my house for ever: and if thou doest not, when the Lord cuts off the enemies of David each from the face of the earth,
Greek · Septuagintοὐκ ἐξαρεῖς ἔλεός σου ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου μου ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος· καὶ εἰ μὴ, ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν Κύριον τοὺς ἐχθροὺς Δαυὶδ ἔκαστον ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου τῆς γῆς,
[should it happen] that the name of Jonathan be discovered by the house of David, then let the Lord seek out the enemies of David.
Greek · Septuagintεὑρεθῆναι τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Ἰωνάθαν ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐκζητῆσαι Κύριος ἐχθροὺς τοῦ Δαυίδ.
And Jonathan swore yet again to David, because he loved the soul of him that loved him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ προσέθετο ἔτι Ἰωνάθαν ὀμόσαι τῷ Δαυίδ, ὅτι ἠγάπησε ψυχὴν ἀγαπῶντος αὐτόν.
And Jonathan said, To-morrow [is] the new moon, and thou wilt be enquired for, because thy seat will be observed as vacant.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν Ἰωνάθαν, αὔριον νεομηνία, καὶ ἐπισκεπήσῃ, ὅτι ἐπισκεπήσεται καθέδρα σου.
And thou shalt stay three days, and watch an opportunity, and shalt come to thy place where thou mayest hide thyself in the day of thy business, and thou shalt wait by that ergab.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ τρισσεύσεις καὶ ἐπισκεψῃ καὶ ἥξεις εἰς τὸν τόπον σου οὗ κρυβῇς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἐργασίμῃ, καὶ καθήσῃ παρὰ τὸ ἐργὰβ ἐκεῖνο.
And I will shoot three arrows, aiming them at a mark.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγὼ τρισσεύσω ταῖς σχίζαις ἀκοντίζων, ἐκπέμπων εἰς τὴν ʼΑματταρί.
And behold, I [will] send a lad, saying, Go find me the arrow.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἰδοὺ ἀποστέλλω τὸ παιδάριον, λέγων, δεῦρο, εὗρέ μοι τὴν σχίζαν. Ἐὰν εἴπω λέγων τῷ παιδαρίῳ, ὧδε ἡ σχίζα ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ὧδε, λάβε αὐτήν· παραγίνου, ὅτι εἰρήνη σοι, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι λόγος, ζῇ Κύριος·
If I should expressly say to the lad, The arrow [is] here, and on this side of thee, take it; [then] come, for it is well with thee, and there is no reason [for fear, as] the Lord lives: [but] if I should say thus to the young man, The arrow [is] on that side of thee, and beyond; go, for the Lord hath sent thee away.
Greek · Septuagintἐὰν τάδε εἴπω τῷ νεανίσκῳ, ὧδε ἡ σχίζα ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἐπέκεινα· πορεύου, ὅτι ἐξαπέσταλκέ σε Κύριος.
And as for the word which thou and I have spoken, behold, the Lord [is] witness between me and thee for ever.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐλαλήσαμεν ἐγὼ καὶ σὺ, ἰδοὺ Κύριος μάρτυς ἀναμέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος.
So David hides himself in the field, and the [new] month arrives, and the king comes to the table to eat.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ κρύπτεται Δαυὶδ ἐν ἀγρῷ, καὶ παραγίνεται ὁ μὴν, καὶ ἔρχεται ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τὴν τράπεζαν τοῦ φαγεῖν.
And he sat upon his seat as in former times, even on his seat by the wall, and he went before Jonathan; and Abenner sat on one side of Saul, and the place of David was empty.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐπὶ τὴν καθέδραν αὐτοῦ ὡς ἅπαξ καὶ ἅπαξ ἐπὶ τῆς καθέδρας παρὰ τοῖχον, καὶ προέφθασε τὸν Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ ἐκάθισεν Ἀβεννὴρ ἐκ πλαγίων Σαοὺλ, καὶ ἐπεσκέπη ὁ τόπος Δαυίδ.
And Saul said nothing on that day, for he said, It seems to have fallen out that he is not clean, because he has not purified himself.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ οὐκ ἐλάλησε Σαοὺλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ὅτι εἴρηκε, σύμπτωμα φαίνεται, μὴ καθαρὸς εἶναι, ὅτι οὐ κεκαθάρισται.
And it came to pass on the morrow, on the second day of the month, that the place of David was empty; and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why has not the son of Jessæ attended both yesterday and to-day at the table?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγενήθη τῇ ἐπαύριον τοῦ μηνὸς τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ, καὶ ἐπεσκέπη ὁ τόπος τοῦ Δαυίδ· καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς Ἰωνάθαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, τί ὅτι οὐ παραγέγονεν ὁ υἱὸς Ἰεσσαὶ καὶ ἐχθὲς καὶ σήμερον ἐπὶ τὴν τράπεζαν;
And Jonathan answered Saul, and said to him, David asked leave of me to go as far as Bethleem his city;
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἰωνάθαν τῷ Σαοὺλ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, παρῄτηται παρʼ ἐμοῦ Δαυὶδ ἕως εἰς Βηθλεὲμ τὴν πόλιν αὐτοῦ πορευθῆναι.
and he said, Let me go, I pray thee, for we have a family sacrifice in the city, and my brethren have sent for me; and now, if I have found grace in thine eyes, I will even go over and see my brethren: therefore he is not present at the table of the king.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν, ἐξαπόστειλον δή με, ὅτι θυσία τῆς φυλῆς ἡμῖν ἐν τῇ πόλει, καὶ ἐνετείλαντο πρὸς μὲ οἱ ἀδελφοί μου· καὶ νῦν εἰ εὕρηκα χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, διαβήσομαι δὴ καὶ ὄψομαι τοὺς ἀδελφούς μου· διὰ τοῦτο οὐ παραγέγονεν ἐπὶ τὴν τράπεζαν τοῦ βασιλέως.
And Saul was exceedingly angry with Jonathan, and said to him, Thou son of traitorous damsels! for do I not know that thou art an accomplice with the son of Jessæ to thy shame, and to the shame of thy mother's nakedness?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ Σαοὺλ ἐπὶ Ἰωνάθαν σφόδρα, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, υἱὲ κορασίων αὐτομολούντων, οὐ γὰρ οἶδα ὅτι μέτοχος εἶ σὺ τῷ υἱῷ Ἰεσσαὶ εἰς αἰσχύνην σου, καὶ εἰς αἰσχύνην ἀποκαλύψεως μητρός σου;
For so long as the son of Jessæ lives upon the earth, thy kingdom shall not be established: now then send and take the young man, for he shall surely die.
Greek · Septuagintὅτι πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἃς ὁ υἱὸς Ἰεσσαὶ ζῇ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, οὐχ ἑτοιμασθήσεται ἡ βασιλεία σου· νῦν οὖν ἀποστείλας λάβε τὸν νεανίαν, ὅτι υἱὸς θανάτου οὗτος.
And Jonathan answered Saul, Why is he to die? what has he done?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἰωνάθαν τῷ Σαοὺλ, ἵνατί ἀποθνήσκει; τί πεποίηκε;
And Saul lifted up his spear against Jonathan to slay him: so Jonathan knew that this evil was determined on by his father to slay David.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐπῇρε Σαοὺλ τὸ δόρυ ἐπὶ Ἰωνάθαν τοῦ θανατῶσαι αὐτόν· καὶ ἔγνω Ἰωνάθαν ὅτι συντετέλεσται ἡ κακία αὕτη παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ θανατῶσαι τὸν Δαυίδ.
And Jonathan sprang up from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second [day] of the month, for he grieved bitterly for David, because his father determined [on mischief] against him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀνεπήδησεν Ἰωνάθαν ἀπὸ τῆς τραπέζης ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔφαγεν ἐν τῇ δευτέρᾳ τοῦ μηνὸς ἄρτον, ὅτι ἐθρανσθη ἐπὶ τὸν Δαυὶδ, ὅτι συνετέλεσεν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
And morning came, and Jonathan went out to the field, as he appointed [to do] for a signal to David, and a little boy [was] with him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγενήθη πρωὶ, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰωνάθαν εἰς ἀγρόν, καθὼς ἐτάξατο εἰς τὸ μαρτύριον Δαυίδ, καὶ παιδάριον μικρὸν μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
And he said to the boy, Run, find me the arrows which I shoot: and the boy ran, and [Jonathan] shot an arrow, and sent it beyond [him].
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε τῷ παιδαρίω, δράυε, εὗρέ μοι τὰς σχίζας ἐν αἷς ἐγὼ ἀκοντίζω· και τὸ παιδάμε ἔδραυε, και αὐτὸς ἠκόντισε τῇ σχίζῃ, καὶ παρήγαγεν αὐτήν.
And the boy came to the place where the arrow was which Jonathan shot; and Jonathan cried out after the lad, and said, The arrow [is] on that side of thee and beyond thee.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἦλθεν τὸ παιδάριον ἕως τοῦ τόπου τῆς σχίζης οὗ ἠκόντιζεν Ἰωνάθαν· καὶ ἀνεβόησεν Ἰωνάθαν ὀπίσω τοῦ νεανίου, καὶ εἶπεν, ἐκεῖ ἡ σχίζα ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἐπέκεινα·
And Jonathan cried out after his boy, saying, Make all speed, and stay not. And Jonathan's boy gathered up the arrows, and brought the arrows to his master.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀνεβόησεν Ἰωνάθαν ὀπίσω τοῦ παιδαρίου αὐτοῦ, λέγων, ταχύνας σπεῦσον, καὶ μὴ στῇς· καὶ ἀνέλεξε τὸ παιδάριον Ἰωνάθαν τὰς σχίζας, καὶ ἤνεγκε τὰς σχίζας πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ.
And the boy knew nothing, only Jonathan and David [knew].
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ τὸ παιδάριον οὐκ ἔγνω οὐθὲν, πάρεξ Ἰωνάθαν καὶ Δαυίδ.
And Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to his boy, Go, enter into the city.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ Ἰωνάθαν ἔδωκε τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπε τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ, πορεύου, εἴσελθε εἰς τὴν πόλιν.
And when the lad went in, then David arose from the argab, and fell upon his face, and did obeisance to him three times, and they kissed each other, and wept for each other, for a great while.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ὡς εἰσῆλθε τὸ παιδάριον, καὶ Δαυὶδ ἀνέστη ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀργὰβ, καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ τρίς, καὶ κατεφίλησεν ἕκαστος τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔκλαυσεν ἕκαστος τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, ἕως συντελείας μεγάλης.
And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, and as we have both sworn in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord shall be witness between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever—[even so let it be].
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν Ἰωνάθαν τῷ Δαυὶδ, πορεύου εἰς εἰρήνην, καὶ ὡς ὀμωμόκαμεν ἡμεῖς ἀμφότεροι ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου, λέγοντες, Κύριος ἔσται μάρτυς ἀνὰμέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ, καὶ ἀνὰμέσον τοῦ σηέρματός μου καὶ ἀναμέσον τοῦ σπέρματός σον ἕως αἰῶνος·
And David arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ καὶ ἀπῆλθε, καὶ Ἰωνάθαν εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν.
And David comes to Nomba to Abimelech the priest: and Abimelech was amazed at meeting him, and said to him, Why [art] thou alone, and nobody with thee?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔρχεται Δαυὶδ εἰς Νομβᾶ πρὸς Ἀβιμέλεχ τὸν ἱερέα· καὶ ἐξέστη Ἀβιμέλεχ τῇ ἀπαντήσει αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, τί ὅτι σὺ μόνος, καὶ οὐθεὶς μετὰ σοῦ;
And David said to the priest, The king gave me a command to-day, and said to me, Let no one know the matter on which I send thee, and concerning which I have charged thee: and I have charged my servants [to be] in the place that is called, The faithfulness of God, phellani maemoni.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ τῷ ἱερεῖ, ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐντέταλταί μοι ῥῆμα σήμερον, καὶ εἶπέ μοι, μηδεὶς γνώτω τὸ ῥῆμα περὶ οὗ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω σε, καὶ ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐγὼ ἐντέταλμαί σοι· καὶ τοῖς παιδαρίοις διαμεμαρτύρημαι ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τῷ λεγομένῳ, Θεοῦ πίστις φελλανὶ μαεμωνί.
And now if there are under thy hand five loaves, give into my hand what is ready.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ νῦν εἰ εἰσὶν ὑπὸ τὴν χεῖρά σου πέντε ἄρτοι, δὸς εἰς χεῖρά μου τὸ εὑρεθέν.
And the priest answered David, and said, There are no common loaves under my hand, for I have none but holy loaves: if the young men have been kept at least from women, then they shall eat [them].
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἱερεὺς τῷ Δαυὶδ, καὶ εἶπεν, οὔκ εἰσιν ἄρτοι βέβηλοι ὑπὸ τὴν χεῖρά μου, ὅτι ἀλλʼ ἢ ἄρτοι ἅγιοί εἰσιν· εἰ πεφυλαγμένα τὰ παιδάριά ἐστι πλὴν ἀπὸ γυναικὸς, καὶ φάγεται.
And David answered the priest, and said to him, Yea, we have been kept from women for three days: when I came forth for the journey all the young men were purified; but this expedition is unclean, wherefore it shall be sanctified this day because of my weapons.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπεκρίθη Δαυὶδ τῷ ἱερεῖ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ γυναικὸς ἀπεσχήμεθα ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν· ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν με εἰς ὁδὸν γέγονε πάντα τὰ παιδία ἡγνισμένα, καὶ αὐτὴ ἡ ὁδὸς βέβηλος, διότι ἁγιασθήσεται σήμερον διὰ τὰ σκεύη μου.
So Abimelech the priest gave him the shewbread; for there were no loaves there, but only the presence loaves which had been removed from the presence of the Lord, in order that hot bread should be set on, on the day on which he took them.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Ἀβιμέλεχ ὁ ἱερεὺς τοὺς ἄρτους τῆς προθέσεως, ὅτι ἐκεῖ οὐκ ἦν ἄρτοι, ἀλλʼ ἢ ἄρτοι τοῦ προσώπου οἱ ἀφῃρημένοι ἐκ προσώπου Κυρίου, τοῦ παρατεθῆναι ἄρτον θερμὸν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἔλαβεν αὐτούς.
And there was there on that day one of Saul's servants detained before the Lord, and his name [was] Doec the Syrian, tending the mules of Saul.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐκεῖ ἦν ἓν τῶν παιδαρίων τοῦ Σαοὺλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ συνεχόμενος Νεεσσαρὰν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Δωὴκ Σύρος, νέμων τὰς ἡμιόνους Σαούλ.
And David said to Abimelech, See if there is here under thy hand spear or sword, for I have not brought in my hand my sword or my weapons, for the word of the king was urgent.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ἀβιμέλεχ, ἴδε εἰ ἔστιν ἐνταῦθα ὑπὸ τὴν χεῖρά σου δόρυ ἢ ῥομφαία, ὅτι τὴν ῥομφαίαν μου καὶ τὰ σκεύη οὐκ εἴληφα ἐν τῇ χειρί μου, ὅτι ἦν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦ βασιλέως κατὰ σπουδήν.
And the priest said, Behold the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou smotest in the valley of Ela; and it is wrapt in a cloth: if thou wilt take it, take it for thyself, for there is no other except it here. And David said, Behold, there is none like it; give it me.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἱερεὺς, ἰδοὺ ἡ ῥομφαία Γολιὰθ τὸυ ἀλλοφύλου, ὃν ἐπάταξας ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι Ἠλᾶ· καὶ αὕτη ἐνειλημένη ἦν ἐν ἱματίῳ· εἰ ταύτην λήψῃ, σεαυτῷ λάβε, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἑτέρα πάρεξ ταύτης ἐνταῦθα· καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ, ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ὥσπερ αὐτή· δός μοι αὐτήν.
And he gave it him; and David arose, and fled in that day from the presence of Saul: and David came to Anchus king of Geth.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν αὐτῷ· καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἔφυγεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐκ προσώπου Σαούλ· καὶ ἦλθε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ἀγχοῦς βασιλέα Γέθ.
And the servants of Anchus said to him, [Is] not this David the king of the land? Did not the dancing women begin the song to him, saying, Saul has smitten his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπον οἱ παῖδες Ἀγχοῦς πρὸς αὐτὸν, οὐχὶ οὗτος Δαυὶδ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῆς γῆς; οὐχὶ τούτῳ ἐξῆρχον αἱ χορεύουσαι, λέγουσαι, ἐπάταξε Σαοὺλ ἐν χιλιάσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ Δαυὶδ ἐν μυριάσιν αὐτοῦ;
And David laid up the words in his heart, and was greatly afraid of Anchus king of Geth.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔθετο Δαυὶδ τὰ ῥήματα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐφοβήθη σφόδρα ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἀγχοῦς βασιλέως Γέθ.
And he changed his appearance before him, and feigned himself a false character in that day; and drummed upon the doors of the city, and used extravagant gestures with his hands, and fell against the doors of the gate, and his spittle ran down upon his beard.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἠλλοίωσε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσεποιήσατο ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἐτυμπάνιζεν ἐπὶ ταῖς θύραις τῆς πόλεως, καὶ παρεφέρετο ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔπιπτεν ἐπὶ τὰς θύρας τῆς πύλης, καὶ τὰ σίελα αὐτοῦ κατέῤῥει ἐπὶ τὸν πώγωνα αὐτοῦ.
