1 Samuel 27
1 And David said in his heart, Now I may yet perish suddenly one day by the hand of Saul; there is nothing better for me than that I should escape at once into the land of the Philistines, then Saul will abstain from me, to seek me any more in all the territory of Israel: and so shall I escape out of his hand.
et ait David in corde suo aliquando incidam in uno die in manu Saul nonne melius est ut fugiam et salver in terra Philisthinorum ut desperet Saul cessetque me quaerere in cunctis finibus Israhel fugiam ergo manus eius
2 And David arose, and he passed over himself with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Ma'och, the king of Gath.
et surrexit David et abiit ipse et sescenti viri cum eo ad Achis filium Mahoc regem Geth
3 And David remained with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, also David with his two wives, Achino'am the Yizre'elitess, and Abigayil, Nabal's wife, the Carmelitess.
et habitavit David cum Achis in Geth ipse et viri eius vir et domus eius David et duae uxores eius Ahinoem Iezrahelites et Abigail uxor Nabal Carmeli
4 And when it was told unto Saul that David was fled to Gath, he continued no more to seek for him.
et nuntiatum est Saul quod fugisset David in Geth et non addidit ultra ut quaereret eum
5 And David said unto Achish, If now I have found grace in thy eyes, let them give me a place in some one of the country-towns, that I may dwell there; for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?
dixit autem David ad Achis si inveni gratiam in oculis tuis detur mihi locus in una urbium regionis huius ut habitem ibi cur enim manet servus tuus in civitate regis tecum
6 Then gave Achish unto him on that day Ziklag: therefore hath Ziklag pertained unto the kings of Judah until this day.
dedit itaque ei Achis in die illa Siceleg propter quam causam facta est Siceleg regum Iuda usque in diem hanc
7 And the number of the days that David dwelt in the fields of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
fuit autem numerus dierum quibus habitavit David in regione Philisthinorum quattuor mensuum
8 And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gizrites, and the 'Amalekites; for these nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, till thou comest to Shur, and as far as the land of Egypt.
et ascendit David et viri eius et agebant praedas de Gesuri et de Gedri et de Amalechitis hii enim pagi habitabantur in terra antiquitus euntibus Sur usque ad terram Aegypti
9 And David smote the land, and left not alive either man or woman, and took away the flocks, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.
et percutiebat David omnem terram nec relinquebat viventem virum et mulierem tollensque oves et boves et asinos et camelos et vestes revertebatur et veniebat ad Achis
10 And Achish said, Whither have ye made an inroad today? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Yerachmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.
dicebat autem ei Achis in quem inruisti hodie respondebatque David contra meridiem Iudae et contra meridiem Hiramel et contra meridiem Ceni
11 And David left not alive either man or woman, to bring [them] to Gath, saying, That they may not tell on us, saying, So hath David done, and so is his custom all the days he hath dwelt in the fields of the Philistines.
virum et mulierem non vivificabat David nec adducebat in Geth dicens ne forte loquantur adversum nos haec fecit David et hoc erat decretum illi omnibus diebus quibus habitavit in regione Philisthinorum
12 And Achish had confidence in David, saying, He hath surely spoiled his odor among his people, among Israel; and he will become unto me a servant for ever.
credidit ergo Achis David dicens multa mala operatus est contra populum suum Israhel erit igitur mihi servus sempiternus
