撒母耳记上 21:1-15

大卫逃亡

1大卫来到挪伯的祭司亚希米勒那里。亚希米勒战战兢兢地出来迎接他,问道:“你为什么独自一人,没有随从呢?” 2大卫答道:“王差遣我来办一件事,他吩咐我不可把事情泄露给任何人。我已经吩咐部下在某处跟我会合。 3现在你这里有什么吃的吗?请给我五个饼,或任何吃的东西。” 4祭司答道:“我们没有普通的饼,只有圣饼21:4 圣饼”指分别出来献给耶和华的饼。,如果你的部下没有亲近过女色,就可以吃。” 5大卫答道:“当然没有亲近过女色。每逢我们出来办事,即使是平常的任务,我的部下总是保持圣洁,何况这次是特别的任务。” 6于是,祭司把圣饼给他,因为那里没有别的饼,只有从耶和华的会幕里更换下来的供饼。 7那天,扫罗的司牧长以东多益碰巧在耶和华的会幕。 8大卫亚希米勒:“你这里有没有刀枪?因为王的事紧急,仓促间我连兵器也没有带。” 9祭司答道:“你在以拉谷杀的非利士歌利亚的刀在这里,用布包着放在以弗得后面。如果你要就拿去吧,这里没有别的刀了。”大卫答道:“这刀再好不过了,把它给我吧。”

10那日,大卫为了躲避扫罗,逃往迦特亚吉那里。 11亚吉的臣仆对亚吉说:“这个大卫不是以色列的王吗?民众跳舞歌唱‘扫罗杀死千千,大卫杀死万万’,歌颂的不是他吗?” 12大卫听到这些话,担心迦特亚吉会加害于他, 13就在他们面前装作疯子,在城门上胡乱涂画,任由唾沫沿着胡子流下来。 14亚吉对臣仆说:“你们看,这是个疯子,为什么把他带到我这里来? 15我这里缺少疯子吗?你们怎么可以把这个家伙带到我家里,在我面前疯疯癫癫呢?”

1 Samuel 21:1-15

David at Nob

In Hebrew texts 21:1-15 is numbered 21:2-16. 1David went to Nob, to Ahimelek the priest. Ahimelek trembled when he met him, and asked, “Why are you alone? Why is no one with you?”

2David answered Ahimelek the priest, “The king sent me on a mission and said to me, ‘No one is to know anything about the mission I am sending you on.’ As for my men, I have told them to meet me at a certain place. 3Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever you can find.”

4But the priest answered David, “I don’t have any ordinary bread on hand; however, there is some consecrated bread here—provided the men have kept themselves from women.”

5David replied, “Indeed women have been kept from us, as usual whenever21:5 Or from us in the past few days since I set out. The men’s bodies are holy even on missions that are not holy. How much more so today!” 6So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, since there was no bread there except the bread of the Presence that had been removed from before the Lord and replaced by hot bread on the day it was taken away.

7Now one of Saul’s servants was there that day, detained before the Lord; he was Doeg the Edomite, Saul’s chief shepherd.

8David asked Ahimelek, “Don’t you have a spear or a sword here? I haven’t brought my sword or any other weapon, because the king’s mission was urgent.”

9The priest replied, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, is here; it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want it, take it; there is no sword here but that one.”

David said, “There is none like it; give it to me.”

David at Gath

10That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath. 11But the servants of Achish said to him, “Isn’t this David, the king of the land? Isn’t he the one they sing about in their dances:

“ ‘Saul has slain his thousands,

and David his tens of thousands’?”

12David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish king of Gath. 13So he pretended to be insane in their presence; and while he was in their hands he acted like a madman, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his beard.

14Achish said to his servants, “Look at the man! He is insane! Why bring him to me? 15Am I so short of madmen that you have to bring this fellow here to carry on like this in front of me? Must this man come into my house?”
