(1) And it was told David, saying, behold, the Philistines war in Keila, and they rob, they trample on the threshing-floors.	(1) Καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Δαυιδ λέγοντες Ἰδοὺ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι πολεµοῦσιν ἐν τῇ Κεϊλα, καὶ αὐτοὶ διαρπάζουσιν, καταπατοῦσιν τοὺς ἅλω.

And the Lord said, Go, and thou shalt smite these Philistines, and shalt save Keila.	(2) καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν Δαυιδ διὰ τοῦ κυρίου λέγων Εἰ πορευθῶ καὶ πατάξω τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους τούτους; καὶ εἶπεν κύριος Πορεύου καὶ πατάξεις ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις τούτοις καὶ σώσεις τὴν Κεϊλα.

(3) And the men of David said to him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judea; and how shall it be if we go to Keila? Shall we go after the spoils of the Philistines?	(3) καὶ εἶπαν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ Δαυιδ πρὸς αὐτόν Ἰδοὺ ἡµεῖς ἐνταῦθα ἐν τῇ Ιουδαίᾳ φοβούµεθα, καὶ πῶς ἔσται ἐὰν πορευθῶµεν εἰς Κεϊλα; εἰς τὰ σκῦλα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων εἰσπορευσόµεθα.

(4) And David enquired yet again of the Lord; and the Lord answered him, and said to him, Arise and go down to Keila, for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hands.	(4) καὶ προσέθετο Δαυιδ ἐρωτῆσαι ἔτι διὰ τοῦ κυρίου, καὶ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ κύριος καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν Ἀνάστηθι καὶ κατάβηθι εἰς Κεϊλα, ὅτι ἐγὼ παραδίδωµι τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους εἰς χεῖράς σου.

(5) So David and his men with him went to Keila, and fought with the Philistines; and they fled from before him, and he carried off their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter, and David rescued the inhabitants of Keila.	(5) καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυιδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ µετ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς Κεϊλα καὶ ἐπολέµησεν ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις, καὶ ἔφυγον ἐκ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπήγαγεν τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτοῖς πληγὴν µεγάλην, καὶ ἔσωσεν Δαυιδ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Κεϊλα.

(6) And it came to pass when Abiathar the son of Achimelech fled to David, that he went down with David to Keila, having and ephod in his hand.	(6) Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ φυγεῖν Αβιαθαρ υἱὸν Αβιµελεχ πρὸς Δαυιδ καὶ αὐτὸς µετὰ Δαυιδ εἰς Κεϊλα κατέβη ἔχων εφουδ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ.

(7) And it was told Saul that David was come to Keila: and Saul said, God has sold him into my hands, for he is shut up, having entered into a city that has gates and bars.	(7) καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαουλ ὅτι ἥκει Δαυιδ εἰς Κεϊλα, καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ Πέπρακεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεὸς εἰς χεῖράς µου, ὅτι ἀποκέκλεισται εἰσελθὼν εἰς πόλιν θυρῶν καὶ µοχλῶν.

(8) And Saul charged all the people to go down to war to Keila, to besiege David and his men.	(8) καὶ παρήγγειλεν Σαουλ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ εἰς πόλεµον καταβαίνειν εἰς Κεϊλα συνέχειν τὸν Δαυιδ καὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ.

(9) And David knew that Saul spoke openly of mischief against him: and David said to Abiathar the priest, Bring the ephod of the Lord.	(9) καὶ ἔγνω Δαυιδ ὅτι οὐ παρασιωπᾷ Σαουλ περὶ αὐτοῦ τὴν κακίαν, καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Αβιαθαρ τὸν ἱερέα Προσάγαγε τὸ εφουδ κυρίου.

(10) And David said, Lord God of Israel, thy servant has indeed heard, that Saul seeks to come against Keila to destroy the city on my account.	(10) καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ Κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ, ἀκούων ἀκήκοεν ὁ δοῦλός σου ὅτι ζητεῖ Σαουλ ἐλθεῖν ἐπὶ Κεϊλα διαφθεῖραι τὴν πόλιν δι’ ἐµέ.

(11) Will the place be shut up? And now will Saul come down, as thy servant has heard? Lord God of Israel, tell thy servant. And the Lord said, It will be shut up.	(11) εἰ ἀποκλεισθήσεται; καὶ νῦν εἰ καταβήσεται Σαουλ, καθὼς ἤκουσεν ὁ δοῦλός σου; κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ, ἀπάγγειλον τῷ δούλῳ σου. καὶ εἶπεν κύριος Ἀποκλεισθήσεται.

(13) And David arose, and the men with him, in number about four hundred, and they went forth from Keila, and went whithersoever they could go: and it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keila, and he forbore to come.	(13) καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυιδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ µετ’ αὐτοῦ ὡς τετρακόσιοι καὶ ἐξῆλθον ἐκ Κεϊλα καὶ ἐπορεύοντο οὗ ἐὰν ἐπορεύθησαν· καὶ τῷ Σαουλ ἀπηγγέλη ὅτι διασέσωται Δαυιδ ἐκ Κεϊλα, καὶ ἀνῆκεν τοῦ ἐξελθεῖν.

(14) And he dwelt in Maserem in the wilderness, in the narrow passes; and dwelt in the wilderness in mount Ziph, in the dry country. And Saul sought him continually, but the Lord delivered him not into his hands.	(14) Καὶ ἐκάθισεν Δαυιδ ἐν τῇ ἐρήµῳ ἐν Μασερεµ ἐν τοῖς στενοῖς καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐν τῇ ἐρήµῳ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Ζιφ ἐν τῇ γῇ τῇ αὐχµώδει· καὶ ἐζήτει αὐτὸν Σαουλ πάσας τὰς ἡµέρας, καὶ οὐ παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν κύριος εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ.

(15) And David perceived that Saul went forth to seek David; and David was in the dry mountain in the New Ziph.	(15) καὶ εἶδεν Δαυιδ ὅτι ἐξέρχεται Σαουλ τοῦ ζητεῖν τὸν Δαυιδ· καὶ Δαυιδ ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ αὐχµώδει ἐν τῇ Καινῇ Ζιφ.

(16) καὶ ἀνέστη Ιωναθαν υἱὸς Σαουλ καὶ ἐπορεύθη πρὸς Δαυιδ εἰς Καινὴν καὶ ἐκραταίωσεν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐν κυρίῳ.

(17) And he said to him, Fear not, for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be second to thee; and Saul my father knows it.	(17) καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν Μὴ φοβοῦ, ὅτι οὐ µὴ εὕρῃ σε ἡ χεὶρ Σαουλ τοῦ πατρός µου, καὶ σὺ βασιλεύσεις ἐπὶ Ισραηλ, καὶ ἐγὼ ἔσοµαί σοι εἰς δεύτερον· καὶ Σαουλ ὁ πατήρ µου οἶδεν οὕτως.

(18) So they both made a covenant before the Lord; and David dwelt in Caene, and Jonathan went to his home.	(18) καὶ διέθεντο ἀµφότεροι διαθήκην ἐνώπιον κυρίου. καὶ ἐκάθητο Δαυιδ ἐν Καινῇ, καὶ Ιωναθαν ἀπῆλθεν εἰς οἶκον αὐτοῦ.

(19) And the Ziphites came up out of the dry country to Saul to the hill, saying, Behold, is not David hidden with us in Messara, in the narrows in Caene in the hill of Echela, which is on the right of Jessaemon?	(19) Καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ Ζιφαῖοι ἐκ τῆς αὐχµώδους πρὸς Σαουλ ἐπὶ τὸν βουνὸν λέγοντες Οὐκ ἰδοὺ Δαυιδ κέκρυπται παρ’ ἡµῖν ἐν Μεσσαρα ἐν τοῖς στενοῖς ἐν τῇ Καινῇ ἐν τῷ βουνῷ τοῦ Εχελα τοῦ ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ Ιεσσαιµουν;

(20) And now according to all the king’s desire to come down, let him come down to us; they have shut him up into the hands of the king.	(20) καὶ νῦν πᾶν τὸ πρὸς ψυχὴν τοῦ βασιλέως εἰς κατάβασιν καταβαινέτω πρὸς ἡµᾶς· κεκλείκασιν αὐτὸν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας τοῦ βασιλέως.

(21) And Saul said to them, Blessed be ye of the Lord, for ye have been grieved on my account.	(21) καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Σαουλ Εὐλογηµένοι ὑµεῖς τῷ κυρίῳ, ὅτι ἐπονέσατε περὶ ἐµοῦ·

(22) Go, I pray you, and make preparations yet, and notice his place where his foot shall be, quickly, in that place which ye spoke of, lest by any means he should deal craftily.	(22) πορεύθητε δὴ καὶ ἑτοιµάσατε ἔτι καὶ γνῶτε τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ, οὗ ἔσται ὁ ποὺς αὐτοῦ, ἐν τάχει ἐκεῖ οὗ εἴπατε, µήποτε πανουργεύσηται·

(23) Take notice, then, and learn, and I will go with you; and it shall come to pass that if he is in the land, I will search him out among all the thousands of Juda.	(23) καὶ ἴδετε καὶ γνῶτε, καὶ πορευσόµεθα µεθ’ ὑµῶν, καὶ ἔσται εἰ ἔστιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐξερευνήσω αὐτὸν ἐν πάσαις χιλιάσιν Ιουδα.
