Chapter27
1ButDavidsaidtohimself:"IshallperishsomedayatthehandofSaul.IhavenochoicebuttoescapetothelandofthePhilistines;thenSaulwillgiveuphiscontinualsearchformethroughoutthelandofIsrael,andIshallbeoutofhisreach."
达味心里想:"终有一天我会落在撒乌耳手中,倒不如逃到培肋舍特地方去,使撒乌耳绝望,再不在全以色列境内寻找我,我方能摆脱他的毒手。"
2Accordingly,DaviddepartedwithhissixhundredmenandwentovertoAchish,sonofMaoch,kingofGath.
达味遂带了他那六百人,动身往加特王玛敖客的儿子阿基士那里去。
3DavidandhismenlivedinGathwithAchish;eachonehadhisfamily,andDavidhadhistwowives,AhinoamfromJezreelandAbigail,thewidowofNabalfromCarmel.
达味和他的两个妻子:依次勒耳人阿希诺罕与曾作加尔默耳人纳巴耳妻子的阿彼盖耳,他的部队,以及他们的眷属,同阿基士一起住在加特。
4WhenSaulwastoldthatDavidhadfledtoGath,henolongersearchedforhim.
有人告诉撒乌耳,达味逃到加特去了,撒乌耳就再不去搜寻他。
5DavidsaidtoAchish:"IfImeetwithyourapproval,letmehaveaplacetoliveinoneofthecountrytowns.Whyshouldyourservantlivewithyouintheroyalcity?"
达味向阿基士说:"假使我在你眼中获得宠幸,请在乡间城镇里给我一块地方,叫我住在那里;为什么你的仆人要同你一起住在京城内呢?"
61ThatsamedayAchishgavehimZiklag,whichhas,therefore,belongedtothekingsofJudahuptothepresenttime.
那一天,阿基士就将漆刻拉格赐给他;因此漆刻拉格直到今日还属犹大王。
7Inall,DavidlivedayearandfourmonthsinthecountryofthePhilistines.
达味住在培肋舍特人地方,共计一年零四个月。
8DavidandhismenwentupandmaderaidsontheGeshurites,Girzites,andAmalekites-peopleslivinginthelandbetweenTelam,ontheapproachtoShur,andthelandofEgypt.
达味带着他的人上去,袭击了革叔尔人、基尔齐人和阿玛肋克人。这些民族所住的地方,是从特郎经叔尔直到埃及地。
9InattackingthelandDavidwouldnotleaveamanorwomanalive,butwouldcarryoffsheep,oxen,asses,camels,andclothes.OnhisreturnhebroughtthesetoAchish,
当达味攻击那地方时,没有让那里的男女生存,只把牛、羊、驴、骆驼和衣服抢来,带回交给阿基士。
10whoasked,"Whomdidyouraidthistime?"AndDavidanswered,"TheNegebofJudah,"or"TheNegebofJerahmeel,"or"TheNegeboftheKenites."
每当阿基士问说:"今天你们袭击了什么地方?"时,达味总是答说:"袭击了犹大的南方,耶辣默耳人的南方,刻尼人的南方。"
11ButDavidwouldnotleaveamanorwomanalivetobebroughttoGath,fearingthattheywouldbetrayhimbysaying,"ThisiswhatDaviddid."ThiswashiscustomaslongashelivedinthecountryofthePhilistines.
达味没有让那里的男女活着带回加特来,因为达味想:"怕他们对我们作不利的宣传说:达味这样对待了我们。"这是他住在培肋舍特地方整个时期内的作风。
12AndAchishtrustedDavid,thinking,"HemustcertainlybedetestedbyhispeopleIsrael.Ishallhavehimasmyvassalforever."
阿基士相信了达味,心中想:"他在自己民族以色列人中,已留下臭名,他要永久作我的奴隶了"。
