Første Samuelsbog 27 |
| 1992 | King James Version |
| 1 David sagde til sig selv: "En skønne dag mister jeg livet for Sauls hånd. Jeg kan ikke gøre noget bedre end at bringe mig i sikkerhed i filistrenes land. Så vil Saul opgive at lede efter mig i hele Israel, og så er jeg i sikkerhed for ham." | 1 And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand. |
| 2 David brød op med sine seks hundrede mand og gik til Maoks søn Akish, kongen i Gat. | 2 And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath. |
| 3 David tog ophold hos Akish i Gat sammen med sine mænd, hver med sin husstand. David havde sine to hustruer med sig, Akinoam fra Jizre'el og Abigajil, der havde været gift med Nabal fra Karmel. | 3 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife. |
| 4 Da Saul fik at vide, at David var flygtet til Gat, holdt han op med at lede efter ham. | 4 And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him. |
| 5 David sagde til Akish: "Hvis jeg har fundet nåde for dine øjne, så lad mig få et sted i en af byerne ude i landet, så jeg kan tage ophold der. Hvorfor skal jeg bo hos dig i kongebyen, herre?" | 5 And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee? |
| 6 Akish gav ham straks Siklag. Det er derfor, Siklag tilhører Judas konger den dag i dag. | 6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day. |
| 7 Den tid, David opholdt sig i filistrenes land, var et år og fire måneder. | 7 And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months. |
| 8 David og hans mænd gjorde indfald hos geshuritterne,girzitterne og amalekitterne. Det var den befolkning, der boede i det område, som strækker sig fra Telam helt til Shur og til Egypten. | 8 And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt. |
| 9 Når David hærgede deres land, lod han hverken mænd eller kvinder i live. Men får og køer, æsler og kameler og klæder tog han, og så vendte han tilbage til Akish. | 9 And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish. |
| 10 Når Akish spurgte: "Hvor har I gjort indfald i dag?" svarede David: "I Judas sydland," eller: "I jerakme'elitternes sydland," eller: "I kenitternes sydland." | 10 And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites. |
| 11 David lod hverken mænd eller kvinder i live for ikke at skulle føre dem med til Gat; for han tænkte: "De ville røbe os og sige: Sådan har David gjort." Sådan bar han sig ad, lige så længe han opholdt sig i filistrenes land. | 11 And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines. |
| 12 Akish troede på David, og han tænkte: "Han har lagt sig grundigt for had i sit folk Israel. Han bliver i min tjeneste resten af sit liv." | 12 And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever. |
