撒母耳記上 22
1 大衛就離開那裏，逃到亞杜蘭洞。他的弟兄和他父親的全家聽見了，就都下到他那裏。
And David departed thence, and escaped to the cave 'Adullam: and when his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down to him thither.
2 凡受窘迫的、欠債的、心裏苦惱的都聚集到大衛那裏；大衛就作他們的頭目，跟隨他的約有四百人。
And there gathered themselves unto him every one that was in distress, and every one that had a creditor, and every one that had an embittered spirit; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
3 大衛從那裏往摩押的米斯巴去，對摩押王說：「求你容我父母搬來，住在你們這裏，等我知道上帝要為我怎樣行。」
And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, go forth with you, until I can know what God will do for me.
4 大衛領他父母到摩押王面前。大衛住山寨多少日子，他父母也住摩押王那裏多少日子。
And he conducted them to the presence of the king of Moab: and they remained with him all the time that David was in the strong-hold.
5 先知迦得對大衛說：「你不要住在山寨，要往猶大地去。」大衛就離開那裏，進入哈列的樹林。
And the prophet Gad said unto David, Thou must not remain in the strong-hold: depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Chereth.
6 掃羅在基比亞的拉瑪，坐在垂絲柳樹下，手裏拿着槍，眾臣僕侍立在左右。掃羅聽見大衛和跟隨他的人在何處，
And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him, [now Saul was sitting in Gib'ah under the tamarisk on the hill, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him; ]
7 就對左右侍立的臣僕說：「便雅憫人哪，你們要聽我的話！耶西的兒子能將田地和葡萄園賜給你們各人嗎？能立你們各人作千夫長百夫長嗎？
Then said Saul unto his servants that stood about him, Hear, I pray you, men of Benjamin! will the son of Jesse give, indeed, to every one of you fields and vineyards? will he appoint you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds?
8 你們竟都結黨害我！我的兒子與耶西的兒子結盟的時候，無人告訴我；我的兒子挑唆我的臣子謀害我，就如今日的光景，也無人告訴我，為我憂慮。」
That ye have conspired, all of you, against me, and there is none that informeth me, while my son hath made a covenant with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is concerned for me, or informeth me that my son hath stirred up my servant to lie in wait against me, as it is this day?
9 那時以東人多益站在掃羅的臣僕中，對他說：「我曾看見耶西的兒子到了挪伯，亞希突的兒子亞希米勒那裏。
Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Achimelech the son of Achitub.
10 亞希米勒為他求問耶和華，又給他食物，並給他殺非利士人歌利亞的刀。」
And he asked counsel for him of the Lord, and he gave him provision, and gave him also the sword of Goliath the philistine.
11 王就打發人將祭司亞希突的兒子亞希米勒和他父親的全家，就是住挪伯的祭司都召了來；他們就來見王。
Then sent the king to call Achimelech, the son of Achitub, the priest, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came, all of them, to the king.
12 掃羅說：「亞希突的兒子，要聽我的話！」他回答說：「主啊，我在這裏。」
And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Achitub. And he said, here am I, my Lord.
13 掃羅對他說：「你為甚麼與耶西的兒子結黨害我，將食物和刀給他，又為他求問上帝，使他起來謀害我，就如今日的光景？」
And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou didst give him bread, and a sword, and hast asked counsel for him of God, that he should rise to lie in wait against me, as it is this day!
14 亞希米勒回答王說：「王的臣僕中有誰比大衛忠心呢？他是王的女婿，又是王的參謀，並且在王家中是尊貴的。
Then answered Achimelech the king, and said, And who is among all thy servants so trusted as David, and the king's son-in-law, and freely admitted to thy private council, and is honored in thy house?
15 我豈是從今日才為他求問上帝呢？斷不是這樣！王不要將罪歸我和我父的全家；因為這事，無論大小，僕人都不知道。」
Did I this day then begin to ask counsel for him of God? far be it from me; let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, [nor] to all the house of my father; for thy servant knew not of all this, either a little or great thing.
16 王說：「亞希米勒啊，你和你父的全家都是該死的！」
And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Achimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.
17 王就吩咐左右的侍衛說：「你們去殺耶和華的祭司；因為他們幫助大衛，又知道大衛逃跑，竟沒有告訴我。」掃羅的臣子卻不肯伸手殺耶和華的祭司。
And the king said unto the runners that stood about him, Turn round and slay the priests of the Lord; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he was fleeing, and did not disclose it to me. But the servants of the king would not stretch forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the Lord.
18 王吩咐多益說：「你去殺祭司吧！」以東人多益就去殺祭司，那日殺了穿細麻布以弗得的八十五人；
And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou round, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned round, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day eighty and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.
19 又用刀將祭司城挪伯中的男女、孩童、吃奶的，和牛、羊、驢盡都殺滅。
And Nob, the city of the priests, he smote with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and lambs, with the edge of the sword.
20 亞希突的兒子亞希米勒有一個兒子，名叫亞比亞他，逃到大衛那裏。
And there escaped one of the sons of Achimelech the son of Achitub, whose name was Ebyathar, and he fled after David.
21 亞比亞他將掃羅殺耶和華祭司的事告訴大衛。
And Ebyathar told David that Saul had slain the priests of the Lord.
22 大衛對亞比亞他說：「那日我見以東人多益在那裏，就知道他必告訴掃羅。你父的全家喪命，都是因我的緣故。
And David said unto Ebyathar, I knew on that day, because Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have myself occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father's house.
23 你可以住在我這裏，不要懼怕。因為尋索你命的就是尋索我的命；你在我這裏可得保全。」
Remain thou with me, fear nothing; for he that will seek my life will seek thy life; but thou shalt be well guarded with me.
