Αποστολική Διακονία της Εκκλησίας της Ελλάδος

ΚΑΙ ἔρχονται οἱ Ζιφαῖοι ἐκ τῆς αὐχμώδους πρὸς τὸν Σαοὺλ εἰς τὸν βουνὸν λέγοντες· ἰδοὺ Δαυὶδ σκεπάζεται μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ βουνῷ τοῦ ᾿Εχελὰ τοῦ κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ ᾿Ιεσσαιμοῦν. 2 καὶ ἀνέστη Σαοὺλ καὶ κατέβη εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Ζίφ καὶ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ τρεῖς χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν ἐκλεκτοὶ ἐξ ᾿Ισραὴλ ζητεῖν τὸν Δαυὶδ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ Ζίφ. 3 καὶ παρενέβαλε Σαοὺλ ἐν τῷ βουνῷ τοῦ ᾿Εχελὰ τῷ ἐπὶ προσώπου τοῦ ᾿Ιεσσαιμοῦν ἐπὶ τῆς ὁδοῦ, καὶ Δαυὶδ ἐκάθισεν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ. καὶ εἶδε Δαυὶδ ὅτι ἥκει Σαοὺλ ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ εἰς τήν ἔρημον, 4 καὶ ἀπέστειλε Δαυὶδ κατασκόπους καὶ ἔγνω ὅτι ἥκει Σαοὺλ ἕτοιμος ἐκ Κεϊλά. 5 καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ λάθρᾳ καὶ εἰσπορεύεται εἰς τὸν τόπον, οὗ ἐκάθευδεν ἐκεῖ Σαούλ, καὶ ἐκεῖ ᾿Αβεννὴρ υἱὸς Νὴρ ἀρχιστράτηγος αὐτοῦ, καὶ Σαοὺλ ἐκάθευδεν ἐν λαμπήνῃ, καὶ ὁ λαὸς παρεμβεβληκὼς κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ. 6 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Δαυὶδ και εἶπε πρὸς ᾿Αβιμέλεχ τὸν Χετταῖον καὶ πρὸς ᾿Αβεσσὰ υἱὸν Σαρουΐας ἀδελφὸν ᾿Ιωὰβ λέγων· τίς εἰσελεύσεται μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ πρὸς Σαοὺλ εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν; καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεσσά· ἐγὼ εἰσελεύσομαι μετὰ σοῦ. 7 καὶ εἰσπορεύεται Δαυὶδ καὶ ᾿Αβεσσὰ εἰς τὸν λαὸν τὴν νύκτα, καὶ ἰδοὺ Σαοὺλ καθεύδων ὕπνῳ ἐν λαμπήνῃ, καὶ τὸ δόρυ αὐτοῦ ἐμπεπηγὸς εἰς τὴν γῆν πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, καί ᾿Αβεννὴρ καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἐκάθευδε κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ. 8 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεσσὰ πρὸς Δαυίδ· ἀπέκλεισε Κύριος σήμερον τὸν ἐχθρόν σου εἰς χεῖράς σου, καὶ νῦν πατάξω αὐτὸν τῷ δόρατι εἰς τὴν γῆν ἅπαξ καὶ οὐ δευτερώσω αὐτῷ. 9 καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς ᾿Αβεσσά· μὴ ταπεινώσῃς αὐτόν, ὅτι τίς ἐποίσει χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ χριστὸν Κυρίου καὶ ἀθωωθήσεται; 10 καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· ζῇ Κύριος, ἐὰν μὴ Κύριος παίσῃ αὐτόν, ἢ ἡ ἡμέρα αὐτοῦ ἔλθῃ καὶ ἀποθάνῃ, ἢ εἰς πόλεμον καταβῇ καὶ προστεθῇ· 11 μηδαμῶς μοι παρὰ Κυρίου ἐπενεγκεῖν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ χριστὸν Κυρίου· καὶ νῦν λαβὲ δὴ τὸ δόρυ ἀπὸ προσκεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν φακὸν τοῦ ὕδατος, καὶ ἀπέλθωμεν ἡμεῖς καθ᾿ ἑαυτούς. 12 καὶ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ τὸ δόρυ καὶ τὸν φακὸν τοῦ ὕδατος ἀπὸ προσκεφαλῆς 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. 13 καὶ διέβη Δαυὶδ εἰς τὸ πέραν καὶ ἔστη ἐπὶ τὴν κορυφὴν τοῦ ὄρους μακρόθεν, καὶ πολλὴ ἡ ὁδὸς ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν. 14 καὶ προσεκαλέσατο Δαυὶδ τὸν λαὸν καὶ τῷ ᾿Αβεννὴρ ἐλάλησε λέγων· οὐκ ἀποκριθήσῃ ᾿Αβεννήρ; καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ᾿Αβεννὴρ καὶ εἶπε· τίς εἶ σὺ ὁ καλῶν με; 15 καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς ᾿Αβεννήρ· οὐκ ἀνὴρ σύ; καὶ τίς ὡς σὺ ἐν ᾿Ισραήλ; καὶ διατί οὐ φυλάσσεις τὸν κύριόν σου τὸν βασιλέα; ὅτι εἰσῆλθεν εἷς ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ διαθφεῖραι τὸν κύριόν σου τὸν βασιλέα. 16 καὶ οὐκ ἀγαθὸν τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο, ὃ πεποίηκας· ζῇ Κύριος, ὅτι υἱοὶ θανατώσεως ὑμεῖς οἱ φυλάσσοντες τὸν βασιλέα τὸν κύριον ὑμῶν τὸν χριστὸν Κυρίου. καὶ νῦν ἰδὲ δή· τὸ δόρυ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ὁ φακὸς τοῦ ὕδατος ποῦ ἐστι τὰ πρὸς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ; 17 καὶ ἐπέγνω Σαοὺλ τὴν φωνὴν Δαυὶδ καὶ εἶπεν· ἡ φωνή σου αὕτη, τέκνον Δαυίδ; καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· δοῦλός σου, κύριε βασιλεῦ. 18 καὶ εἶπεν· ἱνατί τοῦτο καταδιώκει ὁ κύριος ὀπίσω τοῦ δούλου αὐτοῦ; ὅτι τί ἡμάρτηκα καὶ τί εὑρέθη ἐν ἐμοὶ ἀδίκημα; 19 καὶ νῦν ἀκουσάτω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ ρῆμα τοῦ δούλου αὐτοῦ· εἰ ὁ Θεὸς ἐπισείει σε ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ, ὀσφανθείη θυσίας σου· καὶ εἰ υἱοὶ ἀνθρώπων, ἐπικατάρατοι οὗτοι ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, ὅτι ἐξέβαλόν με σήμερον μὴ ἐστηρίχθαι ἐν κληρονομίᾳ Κυρίου λέγοντες· πορεύου, δούλευε θεοῖς ἑτέροις. 20 καὶ νῦν μὴ πέσοι τὸ αἷμά μου ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐξεναντίας προσώπου Κυρίου, ὅτι ἐξελήλυθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ ζητεῖν ψυχήν μου, καθὼς καταδιώκει ὁ νυκτικόραξ ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσι. 21 καὶ εἶπε Σαούλ· ἡμάρτηκα· ἐπίστρεφε τέκνον Δαυίδ, ὅτι οὐ κακοποιήσω σε ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ἔντιμος ψυχή μου ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ ἐν τῇ σήμερον· μεματαίωμαι καὶ ἠγνόηκα πολλὰ σφόδρα. 22 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Δαυὶδ καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ τὸ δόρυ τοῦ βασιλέως· διελθέτω εἷς τῶν παιδαρίων καὶ λαβέτω αὐτό. 23 καὶ Κύριος ἐπιστρέψει ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὰς δικαιοσύνας αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν πίστιν αὐτοῦ, ὡς παρέδωκέ σε Κύριος σήμερον εἰς χεῖράς μου καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησα ἐπενεγκεῖν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ χριστὸν Κυρίου· 24 καὶ ἰδοὺ καθὼς ἐμεγαλύνθη ἡ ψυχή σου σήμερον ἐν ταύτῃ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου, οὕτως μεγαλυνθείη ἡ ψυχή μου ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ σκεπάσαι με καὶ ἐξελεῖταί με ἐκ πάσης θλίψεως. 25 καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς Δαυίδ· εὐλογημένος σύ, τέκνον, καὶ ποιῶν ποιήσεις καὶ δυνάμενος δυνήσῃ. καὶ ἀπῆλθε Δαυὶδ εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ Σαοὺλ ἀνέστρεψεν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ.
