Kings I 27
1 And David said in his heart, Now shall I be one day delivered [for death] into the hands of Saul; and there is no good thing for me unless I should escape into the land of the Philistines, and Saul should cease from seeking me through every coast of Israel: so I shall escape out of his hand.
David je v svojem srcu rekel: »Sedaj bom nekega dne umrl po Savlovi roki. Zame ni nič boljšega, kakor da bi hitro pobegnil v deželo Filistejcev in Savel bo obupal nad menoj, da me še išče v kateremkoli območju Izraela. Tako bom pobegnil iz njegove roke.«
2 So David arose, and the six hundred men that were with him, and he went to Anchus, son Ammach, king of Geth.
David se je dvignil in šel preko s šeststo možmi, ki so bili z njim, k Ahíšu, Maóhovemu sinu, kralju Gata.
3 And David dwelt with Anchus, he and his men, each with his family; and David and both his wives, Achinaam, the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
David je prebival z Ahíšem v Gatu, on in njegovi možje, vsak mož s svojo družino, David s svojima dvema ženama, Jezreélko Ahinóam in Karmelčanko Abigájilo, Nabálovo ženo.
4 And it was told Saul that David had fled to Geth; and he no longer sought after him.
To je bilo povedano Savlu, da je David pobegnil v Gat in ni ga več ponovno iskal.
5 And David said to Anchus, If now thy servant has found grace in thine eyes, let them give me, I pray thee, a place in one of the cities in the country, and I will dwell there: for why does thy servant dwell with thee in a royal city?
David je rekel Ahíšu: »Če sem torej našel milost v tvojih očeh, naj mi dajo prostor v nekem mestu v deželi, da bom tam lahko prebival, kajti zakaj bi tvoj služabnik prebival s teboj v kraljevem mestu?«
6 And he gave him Sekelac in that day: therefore Sekelac came into possession of the king of Judea to this day.
Potem mu je Ahíš ta dan izročil Ciklág. Zato Ciklág pripada Judovim kraljem do tega dne.
7 And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was four months.
Časa, ko je David prebival v deželi Filistejcev, je bil polno leto in štiri mesece.
8 And David and his men went up, and made an attack on all the Gesirites and on the Amalekites: and behold, the land was inhabited, (even the land from Gelampsur) by those who come from the fortified [cities] even to the land of Egypt.
David in njegovi možje so odšli gor in vdrli h Gešuréjcem, Girzéjcem in Amalečanom, kajti ti narodi so bili od davnine prebivalci dežele, kakor greš v Šur, celo v egiptovsko deželo.
9 And he smote the land, and saved neither man nor woman alive; and they took flocks, and herds, and asses, and camels, and raiment; and they returned and came to Anchus.
David je udaril deželo in ni pustil živega niti moškega niti ženske in odvedel ovce, vole, osle, kamele, obleke in se vrnil in prišel k Ahíšu.
10 And Anchus said to David, On whom have ye made an attack to-day? And David said to Anchus, On the south of Judea, and on the south of Jesmega, and on the south of the Kenezite.
Ahíš je rekel: »Kam ste danes vpadli?« David je rekel: »Zoper južni Juda in zoper jug Jerahmeélovcev in zoper jug Kenéjcev.«
11 And I have not saved man or woman alive to bring them to Geth, saying, Lest they carry a report to Geth against us, saying, These things David does. And this was his manner all the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines.
David ni rešil živega niti moškega niti ženske, da prinesejo novice v Gat, rekoč: »Da ne bi povedali o nas, rekoč: ›Tako je storil David in takšen bo njegov način, vse dokler on prebiva v deželi Filistejcev.‹«
12 So David had the full confidence of Anchus, who said, He is thoroughly disgraced among his people in Israel and he shall be my servant for ever.
Ahíš je verjel Davidu, rekoč: »Svojemu ljudstvu Izraelu je storil, da ga popolnoma prezira, zato bo on moj služabnik na veke.«
