Kings I 22
1 And David departed thence, and escaped; and he comes to the cave of Odollam, and his brethren hear, and the house of his father, and they go down to him there.
Derpå drog David bort derfra og Redde sig ind i Adullams Hule. Da hans Brødre og hele hans Faders Hus fik det at vide, kom de derned til ham.
2 And there gathered to him every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was troubled in mind; and he was a leader over them, and there were with him about four hundred men.
Og alle Slags Mennesker, som var i Nød, flokkede sig om ham, forgældede Mennesker og Folk, som var bitre i Hu, og han blev deres Høvding. Henved 400 Mand sluttede sig til ham.
3 And David departed thence to Massephath of Moab, and said to the king of Moab, Let, I pray thee, my father and my mother be with thee, until I know what God will do to me.
Derfra drog David til Mizpe i Moab og sagde til Moabiternes Konge: "Lad min Fader og min Moder bo hos eder, indtil jeg får at vide, hvad Gud har for med mig!"
4 And he persuaded the King of Moab, and they dwell with him continually, while David was in the hold.
Han lod dem da tage Ophold hos Moabiternes Konge, og de boede hos ham, al den Tid David var i Klippeborgen.
5 And Gad the prophet said to David, Dwell not in the hold: go, and thou shalt enter the land of Juda. So David went, and came and dwelt in the city of Saric.
Men Profeten Gad sagde til David: "Du skal ikke blive i Klippeborgen; bryd op og drag til Judas Land!" Så drog David til Ja'ar-Heret.
6 And Saul heard that David was discovered, and his men with him: now Saul dwelt in the hill below the field that is in Rama, and his spear [was] in his hand, and all his servants stood near him.
Nu kom dette Saul for Øre, thi David og de Mænd, han havde hos sig, havde vakt Opmærksomhed. Saul sad engang i Gibea under Tamarisken på Højen med sit Spyd i Hånden, omgivet af alle sine Folk.
7 And Saul said to his servants that stood by him, Hear now, ye sons of Benjamin, will the son of Jessae indeed give all of you fields and vineyards, and will he make you all captains of hundreds and captains of thousands?
Da sagde Saul til sine folk, som stod hos ham: "Hør dog, I Benjaminiter! Vil Isajs Søn give eder alle sammen Marker og Vingårde eller gøre eder alle til Tusind- og Hundredførere,
8 That ye are conspiring against me, and there is no one that informs me, whereas my son has made a covenant with the son of Jessae, and there is no one of you that is sorry for me, or informs me, that my son has stirred up my servant against me for an enemy, as [it is] this day?
siden I alle har sammensvoret eder imod mig, og ingen lod mig det vide, da min Søn sluttede Pagt med Isajs Søn? Ingen af eder havde Medfølelse med mig og lod mig vide, at min Søn havde fået min Træl til at optræde som min Fjende, som han nu gør."
9 And Doec the Syrian who was over the mules of Saul answered and said, I saw the son of Jessae as he came to Nomba to Abimelech son of Achitob the priest.
Da tog Edomiten Doeg, der stod blandt Sauls Folk, Ordet og sagde: "Jeg så, at Isajs Søn kom til Ahimelek, Ahitubs Søn, i Nob,
10 And [the priest] enquired of God for him, and gave him provision, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
og han rådspurgte HERREN for ham og gav ham Rejsetæring og Filisteren Goliats Sværd!"
11 And the king sent to call Abimelech son of Achitob and all his father's sons, the priests that were in Nomba; and they all came to the king.
Da sendte Kongen Bud og lod Præsten Ahimelek, Ahitubs Søn, hente tillige med hele hans Fædrenehus, Præsterne i Nob; og da de alle var kommet til Kongen,
12 And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Achitob. And he said, Lo! I [am here], speak, [my] lord.
sagde Saul: "Hør nu, Ahitubs Søn!" Han svarede: "Ja, Herre!"
13 And Saul said to him, Why have thou and the son of Jessae conspired against me, that thou shouldest give him bread and a sword, and shouldest enquire of God for him, to raise him up against me as an enemy, as [he is] this day?
Da sagde Saul til ham: "Hvorfor sammensvor du og Isajs Søn eder imod mig? Du gav ham jo Brød og Sværd og rådspurgte Gud for ham, så at han kunde optræde som min Fjende, som han nu gør!"
14 And he answered the king, and said, And who [is] there among all thy servants faithful as David, and [he is] a son-in-law of the king, and [he is] executor of all thy commands, and [is] honourable in thy house?
Ahimelek svarede Kongen:"Hvem blandt alle dine Folk er så betroet som David? Han er jo Kongens Svigersøn, Øverste for din Livvagt og højt æret i dit Hus?
15 Have I begun to-day to enquire of God for him? By no means: let not the king bring a charge against his servant, and against thee whole of my father's house; for thy servant knew not in all these matters anything great or small.
Er det første Gang, jeg har rådspurgt Gud for ham? Det være langt fra! Kongen må ikke lægge sin Træl eller hele mit Fædrenehus noget til Last, thi din Træl kendte ikke det mindste til noget af dette!"
16 And king Saul said, Thou shalt surely die, Abimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.
Men Kongen sagde: "Du skal dø, Ahimelek, du og hele dit Fædrenehus!"
17 And the king said to the footmen that attended on him, Draw nigh and slay the priests of the Lord, because their hand [is] with David, and because they knew that he fled, and they did not inform me. But the servants of the king would not lift their hands to fall upon the priest of the Lord.
Og Kongen sagde til Vagten, som stod hos ham: "Træd frem og dræb HERRENs Præster; thi de står også i Ledtog med David, og skønt de vidste, at han var på Flugt, gav de mig ikke Underretning derom!" Men Kongens Folk vilde ikke lægge Hånd på HERRENs Præster.
18 And the king said to Doec, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests: and Doec the Syrian turned, and slew the priests of the Lord in that day, three hundred and five men, all wearing an ephod.
Da sagde Kongen til Doeg: "Træd du så frem og stød Præsterne ned!" Da trådte Edomiten Doeg frem og stødte Præsterne ned; han dræbte den Dag femogfirsindstyve Mænd, som bar Efod.
19 And he smote Nomba the city of the priest with the edge of the sword, both man, and woman, infant and suckling, and calf, and ox, and sheep.
Og Nob, Præsternes By, lod Kongen hugge ned med Sværdet. Mænd og Kvinder, Børn og diende, Hornkvæg, Æsler og Får.
20 And one son of Abimelech son of Achitob escapes, and his name [was] Abiathar, and he fled after David.
Kun een af Ahimeleks, Ahitubs Søns, Sønner ved Navn Ebjatar undslap og flygtede til David.
21 And Abiathar told David that Saul had slain all the priests of the Lord.
Og Ebjatar fortalte David, at Saul havde dræbt HERRENs Præster.
22 And David said to Abiathar, I knew it in that day, that Doec the Syrian would surely tell Saul: I am guilty of the death of the house of thy father.
Da sagde David til Ebjatar: "Jeg vidste dengang, at når Edomiten Doeg var der, vilde han give Saul Underretning derom! Jeg bærer Skylden for hele dit Fædrenehus's Død.
23 Dwell with me; fear not, for wherever I shall seek a place [of safety] for my life, I will also seek a place for thy life, for thou art safely guarded [while] with me.
Bliv hos mig, frygt ikke! Den, som står dig efter Livet, står mig efter Livet, thi du står under min Varetægt."
