(2) And Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, and with him went three thousand men chosen out of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

(3) And Saul encamped in the hill of Echela in front of Jessemon, by the way, and David dwelt in the wilderness: and David saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.	(3) καὶ παρενέβαλεν Σαουλ ἐν τῷ βουνῷ τοῦ Εχελα ἐπὶ προσώπου τοῦ Ιεσσαιµουν ἐπὶ τῆς ὁδοῦ, καὶ Δαυιδ ἐκάθισεν ἐν τῇ ἐρήµῳ. καὶ εἶδεν Δαυιδ ὅτι ἥκει Σαουλ ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν ἔρηµον,

(5) And David arose secretly, and goes into the place where Saul was sleeping, and there was Abenner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul was sleeping in a chariot, and the people had encamped along round about him.	(5) καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυιδ λάθρᾳ καὶ εἰσπορεύεται εἰς τὸν τόπον, οὗ ἐκάθευδεν ἐκεῖ Σαουλ, καὶ ἐκεῖ Αβεννηρ υἱὸς Νηρ ἀρχιστράτηγος αὐτοῦ, καὶ Σαουλ ἐκάθευδεν ἐν λαµπήνῃ, καὶ ὁ λαὸς παρεµβεβληκὼς κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ.

(6) And David answered and spoke to Abimelech the Chettite, and to Abessa the son Saruia the brother of Joab, saying, Who will go in with me to Saul into the camp? And Abessa said, I will go in with thee.	(6) καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Δαυιδ καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Αχιµελεχ τὸν Χετταῖον καὶ πρὸς Αβεσσα υἱὸν Σαρουιας ἀδελφὸν Ιωαβ λέγων Τίς εἰσελεύσεται µετ’ ἐµοῦ πρὸς Σαουλ εἰς τὴν παρεµβολήν; καὶ εἶπεν Αβεσσα Ἐγὼ εἰσελεύσοµαι µετὰ σοῦ.

(7) καὶ εἰσπορεύεται Δαυιδ καὶ Αβεσσα εἰς τὸν λαὸν τὴν νύκτα, καὶ ἰδοὺ Σαουλ καθεύδων ὕπνῳ ἐν λαµπήνῃ, καὶ τὸ δόρυ ἐµπεπηγὸς εἰς τὴν γῆν πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ Αβεννηρ καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἐκάθευδεν κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ.

(8) And Abessa said to David, The Lord has this day shut up thine enemy into thine hands, and now I will smite him to the earth with the spear to the ground once for all, and I will not smite him again.	(8) καὶ εἶπεν Αβεσσα πρὸς Δαυιδ Ἀπέκλεισεν σήµερον κύριος τὸν ἐχθρόν σου εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου, καὶ νῦν πατάξω αὐτὸν τῷ δόρατι εἰς τὴν γῆν ἅπαξ καὶ οὐ δευτερώσω αὐτῷ.

(9) καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Αβεσσα Μὴ ταπεινώσῃς αὐτόν, ὅτι τίς ἐποίσει χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ χριστὸν κυρίου καὶ ἀθῳωθήσεται;

(10) And David said, As the Lord lives, if the Lord smite him not, or his day come and he die, or he go down to battle and be added to his fathers, do not so.	(10) καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ Ζῇ κύριος, ἐὰν µὴ κύριος παίσῃ αὐτόν, ἢ ἡ ἡµέρα αὐτοῦ ἔλθῃ καὶ ἀποθάνῃ, ἢ εἰς πόλεµον καταβῇ καὶ προστεθῇ·

(11) The Lord forbid it me that I should lift up my hand against the anointed of the Lord: and now take, I pray thee, the spear from his bolster, and the pitcher of water, and let us return home.	(11) µηδαµῶς µοι παρὰ κυρίου ἐπενεγκεῖν χεῖρά µου ἐπὶ χριστὸν κυρίου· καὶ νῦν λαβὲ δὴ τὸ δόρυ ἀπὸ πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν φακὸν τοῦ ὕδατος, καὶ ἀπέλθωµεν καθ’ ἑαυτούς.

(12) So David took the spear, and the pitcher of water from his bolster, and they went home: and there was no one that saw, and no one that knew, and there was no one that awoke, all being asleep, for a stupor from the Lord had fallen upon them.	(12) καὶ ἔλαβεν Δαυιδ τὸ δόρυ καὶ τὸν φακὸν τοῦ ὕδατος ἀπὸ πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπῆλθον καθ’ ἑαυτούς· καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ βλέπων καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ γινώσκων καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐξεγειρόµενος, πάντες ὑπνοῦντες, ὅτι θάµβος κυρίου ἐπέπεσεν ἐπ’ αὐτούς.

(14) And David called to the people, and spoke to Abenner, saying, Wilt thou not answer, Abenner? and Abenner answered and said, Who art thou that callest?	(14) καὶ προσεκαλέσατο Δαυιδ τὸν λαὸν καὶ τῷ Αβεννηρ ἐλάλησεν λέγων Οὐκ ἀποκριθήσει, Αβεννηρ; καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Αβεννηρ καὶ εἶπεν Τίς εἶ σὺ ὁ καλῶν µε;

(15) And David said to Abenner, Art not thou a man? and who is like thee in Israel? Why then dost thou not guard thy lord the king? for one out of the people went in to destroy thy lord the king.	(15) καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Αβεννηρ Οὐκ ἀνὴρ σύ; καὶ τίς ὡς σὺ ἐν Ισραηλ; καὶ διὰ τί οὐ φυλάσσεις τὸν κύριόν σου τὸν βασιλέα; ὅτι εἰσῆλθεν εἷς ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ διαφθεῖραι τὸν βασιλέα κύριόν σου.

(16) And this thing is not good which thou hast done. As the Lord lives, ye are worthy of death, ye who guard your lord the king, the anointed of the Lord: and now behold, I pray you, the spear of the king, and the cruse of water: where are the articles that should be at his head?

(17) And Saul recognized the voice of David, and said, Is this thy voice, son David? and David said, I am thy servant, my lord, O king.	(17) καὶ ἐπέγνω Σαουλ τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ Δαυιδ καὶ εἶπεν Ἦ φωνή σου αὕτη, τέκνον Δαυιδ; καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ Δοῦλός σου, κύριε βασιλεῦ.

(19) And now let my lord the king hear the word of his servant. If God stirs thee up against me, let thine offering be acceptable: but if the sons of men, they are cursed before the Lord, for they have cast me out this day so that I should not be established in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other Gods.
