Первая книга Царств 27

1 И рече Давид в сердцы своем, глаголя: ныне впаду в день един в руки Саули, и не будет ми благо, аще не спасуся в земли иноплеменничи, и престанет Саул искати мене во всяком пределе Израилеве, и спасуся из руки его.

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.

2 И воста Давид и шесть сот мужей иже с ним, и иде ко Агхусу сыну Аммахову царю Гефску.

So David arose, and the six hundred men that were with him, and he went to Anchus, son Ammach, king of Geth.

3 И пребысть Давид у Агхуса в Гефе, сам и мужие его вси и дом его, и Давид и обе жены его, Ахинаам Иезраилитыня и Авигеа жена Навала Кармилскаго.

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.

4 И возвестиша Саулу, яко отбеже Давид в Геф, и не приложи ктому (Саул) искати его.

And it was told Saul that David had fled to Geth; and he no longer sought after him.

5 И рече Давид ко Агхусу: аще обрете раб твой благодать пред очима твоима, да даси ми место во единем от градов иже на селе, и сяду тамо: и вскую седит раб твой во граде царственнем с тобою?

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?

6 И даде ему Агхус в день той Секелаг: сего ради бысть царю Иудейску Секелаг до днешняго дне.

And he gave him Sekelac in that day: therefore Sekelac came into possession of the king of Judea to this day.

7 И бысть число дний, в няже седяше Давид на селе иноплеменничи, четыри месяцы.

And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was four months.

8 И восхождаше Давид и мужие его и нападаху на всякаго Гессера и на Амаликита, и се, земля населяшеся от Ламсура и до земли Египетския:

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.

9 и поражаше Давид землю, и не оставляше в живых мужеска полу и женска: и взимаху стада, и буйволицы и ослята, и велблюды и ризы, и возвращающеся прихождаху ко Агхусу.

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.

10 И рече Агхус к Давиду: на кого нападосте ныне? И рече Давид ко Агхусу: к югу Иудеи и к югу Иесмеги и к югу Кенезиа:

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.

11 и мужеска полу и женска не оставлях в живых еже вводити в Геф, глаголя: да не возвестят в Гефе на нас, глаголюще: сия творит Давид. И сие оправдание его во вся дни, в няже седяше Давид на селе иноплеменничи.

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.

12 И уверися Давид Агхусу зело, глаголя: омерзением омерзе в людех своих во Израили, и будет ми раб во веки.

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.
