1 西弗人到基比亞見掃羅,說:「大衛正躲在曠野附近的哈基拉山中。」2 掃羅就帶領三千以色列精兵到西弗的曠野去追捕大衛。3 他們在曠野附近路邊的哈基拉山上紮營。大衛在曠野聽說掃羅追來了,4 就派人去打探消息,得知掃羅的追兵果然已到。5 大衛來到掃羅的營地,看見了他和他的元帥——尼珥的兒子押尼珥睡覺的地方,他睡在軍營中間,其他人圍繞著他紮營。6 大衛問赫人亞希米勒和洗魯雅的兒子約押的兄弟亞比篩:「誰願意跟我到掃羅的營裡?」亞比篩答道:「我願意。」7 大衛和亞比篩就趁夜間走進掃羅的軍營,發現掃羅正在熟睡,他的矛插在地上,靠近他的頭,押尼珥和其他人睡在他周圍。8 亞比篩對大衛說:「現在上帝把你的敵人交在你手中了,讓我一矛把他釘在地上,決不用刺第二下。」9 大衛卻說:「不要殺他,誰殺害耶和華所膏立的王,都難逃罪責。10 我憑永活的耶和華起誓,耶和華必親手擊殺他。他要麼壽終而死,要麼命喪沙場。11 我在耶和華面前絕不敢出手傷害祂所膏立的王。我們拿走他旁邊的矛和水瓶吧。」12 大衛拿上掃羅的矛和水瓶同亞比篩離開了,沒有人看見,沒有人知道,他們都在沉睡,沒有人醒來,因為耶和華使他們都熟睡了。13 大衛爬上營地對面的山坡,遠遠地站在山頂上,與他們相距很遠。14 他呼喊掃羅的士兵和尼珥的兒子押尼珥:「押尼珥,你回答我!」押尼珥問道:「你是誰,竟敢在王面前喊叫?」15 大衛說:「你不是勇士嗎?在以色列有誰比得上你呢?有人來刺殺你的王,你的主,你為何沒有保護他呢?16 你失職了。我憑永活的耶和華起誓,你們都該死。因為你們沒有保護你們的主——耶和華所膏立的王。你看看王身邊的矛和水瓶在哪裡?」17 掃羅聽出是大衛的聲音,就說:「我兒大衛!是你嗎?」大衛答道:「我主我王啊,是我。18 我主為什麼又要追殺僕人呢?我做錯了什麼,犯了什麼罪?19 我主我王,請聽僕人說,如果是耶和華使你與我作對,願祂悅納我獻上的祭物;如果這是出於人的主意,願他們在耶和華面前受咒詛。因為他們趕我離開耶和華所賜的產業,叫我去服侍外族人的神明。20 求你不要讓我死在遠離耶和華的異鄉!以色列王為何要像在山上獵殺鷓鴣一樣追捕一隻跳蚤呢?」21 掃羅說:「我犯罪了。我兒大衛,你回來吧,我不會再傷害你,因為你今日保存了我的性命。我真是糊塗,犯了大錯。」22 大衛答道:「王的矛在這裡,請派一個人來拿回去吧。23 耶和華賜福給公義、信實的人。今天耶和華把你交在我手中,但我不願下手傷害耶和華所膏立的王。24 我今天保存了你的性命,願耶和華也保存我的性命,救我脫離一切患難。」25 掃羅對大衛說:「我兒大衛,願你蒙福。你一定能建功立業,戰勝仇敵。」於是,大衛起身離開,掃羅也回家去了。

1 Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is not David hiding himself on the hill of Hachilah, which is on the east of Jeshimon?” (撒上23:19)2 So Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph with three thousand chosen men of Israel to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph. (撒上23:14; 撒上24:2)3 And Saul encamped on the hill of Hachilah, which is beside the road on the east of Jeshimon. But David remained in the wilderness. When he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness,4 David sent out spies and learned that Saul had indeed come.5 Then David rose and came to the place where Saul had encamped. And David saw the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army. Saul was lying within the encampment, while the army was encamped around him. (撒上14:50; 撒上17:20; 撒上17:55; 撒下2:8)6 Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Joab’s brother Abishai the son of Zeruiah, “Who will go down with me into the camp to Saul?” And Abishai said, “I will go down with you.” (士7:9; 撒下2:18; 撒下3:39; 撒下16:10; 撒下19:22; 代上2:16)7 So David and Abishai went to the army by night. And there lay Saul sleeping within the encampment, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head, and Abner and the army lay around him. (撒上26:5; 撒上26:11; 撒上26:16)8 Then Abishai said to David, “God has given your enemy into your hand this day. Now please let me pin him to the earth with one stroke of the spear, and I will not strike him twice.” (撒上24:4; 撒上24:18)9 But David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him, for who can put out his hand against the Lord’s anointed and be guiltless?” (撒上24:6; 撒上24:10; 撒上26:11; 撒上26:16; 撒上26:23; 撒下1:16)10 And David said, “As the Lord lives, the Lord will strike him, or his day will come to die, or he will go down into battle and perish. (创47:29; 申31:14; 得3:13; 撒上25:38; 撒上31:6)11 The Lord forbid that I should put out my hand against the Lord’s anointed. But take now the spear that is at his head and the jar of water, and let us go.” (撒上24:6; 撒上26:7; 撒上26:16)12 So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul’s head, and they went away. No man saw it or knew it, nor did any awake, for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the Lord had fallen upon them. (创2:21; 创15:12)13 Then David went over to the other side and stood far off on the top of the hill, with a great space between them.14 And David called to the army, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, “Will you not answer, Abner?” Then Abner answered, “Who are you who calls to the king?”15 And David said to Abner, “Are you not a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.16 This thing that you have done is not good. As the Lord lives, you deserve to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the Lord’s anointed. And now see where the king’s spear is and the jar of water that was at his head.” (得3:13; 撒上26:7; 撒上26:11)17 Saul recognized David’s voice and said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And David said, “It is my voice, my lord, O king.” (撒上24:16)18 And he said, “Why does my lord pursue after his servant? For what have I done? What evil is on my hands? (撒上24:9; 撒上24:11)19 Now therefore let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is the Lord who has stirred you up against me, may he accept an offering, but if it is men, may they be cursed before the Lord, for they have driven me out this day that I should have no share in the heritage of the Lord, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’ (撒下14:16; 撒下20:19; 撒下21:3; 诗120:5)20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the Lord, for the king of Israel has come out to seek a single flea like one who hunts a partridge in the mountains.” (撒上24:14)21 Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Behold, I have acted foolishly, and have made a great mistake.” (撒上15:24; 撒上24:17)22 And David answered and said, “Here is the spear, O king! Let one of the young men come over and take it.23 The Lord rewards every man for his righteousness and his faithfulness, for the Lord gave you into my hand today, and I would not put out my hand against the Lord’s anointed. (诗7:8; 诗18:20)24 Behold, as your life was precious this day in my sight, so may my life be precious in the sight of the Lord, and may he deliver me out of all tribulation.”25 Then Saul said to David, “Blessed be you, my son David! You will do many things and will succeed in them.” So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place. (创32:28)
