1 ثُمَّ حَشَدَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ جُيُوشَهُمْ فِي أَفِيقَ بَيْنَمَا تَجَمَّعَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ عِنْدَ الْعَيْنِ الَّتِي فِي يَزْرَعِيلَ.2 وَتَقَدَّمَ قَادَةُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ بِكَتَائِبِهِمْ وَسَرَايَاهُمْ، أَمَّا دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ فَكَانُوا يَسِيرُونَ فِي الْمُؤَخَّرَةِ مَعَ الْمَلِكِ أَخِيشَ.3 فَسَأَلَهُ قَادَةُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ: «مَاذَا يَفْعَلُ هَؤُلاءِ الْعِبْرَانِيُّونَ هُنَا؟» فَأَجَابَهُمْ أَخِيشُ: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا دَاوُدَ الَّذِي كَانَ ضَابِطاً عِنْدَ شَاوُلَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَقَدْ مَكَثَ مَعِي طَوَالَ هَذِهِ الْمُدَّةِ، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهِ عِلَّةً مُنْذُ أَنْ قَدِمَ إِلَيَّ وَحَتَّى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ».4 غَيْرَ أَنَّ قَادَةَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَبْدَوْا سُخْطَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ قَائِلِينَ: «أَرْجِعِ الرَّجُلَ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِ الَّذِي حَدَّدْتَهُ لَهُ، وَلا تَدَعْهُ يَشْتَرِكُ مَعَنَا فِي الْحَرْبِ لِئَلّا يَنْقَلِبَ عَلَيْنَا. إِذْ كَيْفَ يَسْتَرِدُّ هَذَا رِضَى سَيِّدِهِ؟ أَلَيْسَ بِقَطْعِ رُؤُوسِ رِجَالِنَا؟5 أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ دَاوُدُ الَّذِي غَنَّتْ لَهُ النِّسَاءُ رَاقِصَاتٍ قَائِلاتٍ: قَتَلَ شَاوُلُ أُلُوفاً، وَقَتَلَ دَاوُدُ عَشَرَاتِ الأُلُوفِ؟»6 فَاسْتَدْعَى أَخِيشُ دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أُقْسِمُ لَكَ بِالرَّبِّ الْحَيِّ إِنَّكَ مُسْتَقِيمٌ، وَيَسُرُّنِي انْضِمَامُكَ إِلَى جَيْشِي لأَنَّنِي لَمْ أَجِدْ فِيكَ عِلَّةً مُنْذُ أَنْ جِئْتَ إِلَيَّ حَتَّى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ قَادَةَ جَيْشِي سَاخِطُونَ عَلَيْكَ.7 فَامْضِ الآنَ بِسَلامٍ وَعُدْ إِلَى مَوْضِعِكَ وَلا تَقْتَرِفْ مَا يُسِيءُ إِلَى أَقْطَابِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ».8 فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ: «مَاذَا جَنَيْتُ، وَأَيُّ عِلَّةٍ وَجَدْتَ فِي عَبْدِكَ مُنْذُ أَنْ مَثُلْتُ أَمَامَكَ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ حَتَّى لَا أَشْتَرِكَ فِي مُحَارَبَةِ أَعْدَاءِ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ؟»9 فَقَالَ أَخِيشُ: «إِنَّنِي وَاثِقٌ أَنَّكَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، كَمَلاكِ اللهِ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ رُؤَسَاءَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ أَصَرُّوا قَائِلِينَ: لَا يَصْعَدُ دَاوُدُ مَعَنَا لِخَوْضِ الْحَرْبِ.10 لِذَلِكَ بَكِّرْ صَبَاحاً مَعَ عَبِيدِ سَيِّدِكَ الَّذِينَ وَفَدُوا مَعَكَ وَارْجِعُوا عِنْدَ طُلُوعِ الصَّبَاحِ».11 فَاسْتَيْقَظَ دَاوُدُ وَرِجَالُهُ مُبَكِّرِينَ لِيَرْجِعُوا إِلَى بِلادِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَأَمَّا الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ فَتَقَدَّمُوا نَحْوَ يَزْرَعِيلَ.

1 Now the Philistines had gathered all their forces at Aphek. And the Israelites were encamped by the spring that is in Jezreel. (يش 12:18; يش 17:16; قض 7:1; 1صم 4:1; 1صم 28:1)2 As the lords of the Philistines were passing on by hundreds and by thousands, and David and his men were passing on in the rear with Achish, (يش 13:3; 1صم 28:1)3 the commanders of the Philistines said, “What are these Hebrews doing here?” And Achish said to the commanders of the Philistines, “Is this not David, the servant of Saul, king of Israel, who has been with me now for days and years, and since he deserted to me I have found no fault in him to this day.” (1صم 27:7; دا 6:5)4 But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with him. And the commanders of the Philistines said to him, “Send the man back, that he may return to the place to which you have assigned him. He shall not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us. For how could this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Would it not be with the heads of the men here? (1صم 14:21; 1صم 27:6; 1صم 29:2; 1صم 30:1)5 Is not this David, of whom they sing to one another in dances, ‘Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his ten thousands’?” (1صم 18:7; 1صم 21:11)6 Then Achish called David and said to him, “As the Lord lives, you have been honest, and to me it seems right that you should march out and in with me in the campaign. For I have found nothing wrong in you from the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, the lords do not approve of you. (1صم 20:3; 2صم 3:25; 2مل 19:27; مز 121:8; إش 37:28)7 So go back now; and go peaceably, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines.”8 And David said to Achish, “But what have I done? What have you found in your servant from the day I entered your service until now, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”9 And Achish answered David and said, “I know that you are as blameless in my sight as an angel of God. Nevertheless, the commanders of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’ (يش 13:3; 2صم 14:17; 2صم 14:20; 2صم 19:27)10 Now then rise early in the morning with the servants of your lord who came with you, and start early in the morning, and depart as soon as you have light.” (1أخ 12:19; 1أخ 12:22)11 So David set out with his men early in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. But the Philistines went up to Jezreel. (يش 17:16)
