Chap. XXVI.
The Ziphians bewrraying the place, Saul besiegeth Dauid. 5. who by night
goeth where Saul and his men are a sleepe, 9. hurteth him not: 12. but
taketh from him his speare and bottle of water: 14. sheweth what he hath
done. 21. Saul againe confesseth his fault, and promiseth peace.
1 And there came Zepheites vnto Saul in Gabaa, saying:
Behold Dauid is hid in the hil Hachila, which is ouer
against the wildernes.
2 And Saul arose, and went downe into
the desert Ziph, and with him three thousand men of the
chosen of Israel, to seeke Dauid in the desert Ziph.
3 And
Saul camped in Gabaa Hachila, which was ouer against the
wildernes in the way: and Dauid dwelt in the desert. And
seing that Saul was come after him into the desert,
4 he sent
discouerers, and lerned that he was come thither most certainly.
5 And Dauid arose secretly, and came to the place
where Saul was: and when he had seene the place, wherein
Saul slept, and Abner the sonne of Ner, the prince of his
warre, and Saul sleeping in the tent, and the rest of the multitude
round about him,
6 Dauid spake to Achimelech the
Hetheit, and Abisai the sonne of Seruia the brother of Ioab,
saying: Who wil goe downe with me to Saul into the campe?
And Abisai said: I wil goe with thee.
7 Dauid therefore and
Abisai came to the people by night, and found Saul lying
and sleeping in the tent, and his speare fixed in the ground at
his head: and Abner, and the people sleeping round about
him.
8 And Abisai said to Dauid: God hath shut vp thine
enemie this day into thy handes: now therefore I wil thrust

him through with my speare in the earth once, and twise shal
not neede.
9 And Dauid said to Abisai: Kil him not: for
note who shal extend his hand vpon the annointed of our Lord, &
shal be innocent?
10 And Dauid said: Our Lord liueth, vnlesse
our Lord shal strike him, or his day come to die, or descendig
into battel he perish:
11 Our Lord be merciful vnto me,
that I extend not my hand vpon the annointed of our Lord.
now therefore take the speare, which is at his head, & cuppe
of water, and let vs goe.
12 Dauid therefore tooke the speare,
and cuppe of water, which was at Saules head, and they went
away: and there was none that sawe, or vnderstood, or awaked,
but al slept, because the dead sleepe note of our Lord.
had fallen vpon them.
13 And when Dauid had passed ouer
against, and stood in the toppe of the mountaine farre of, and
a good space betwen them,
14 Dauid cried to the people, and
to Abner the sonne of Ner, saying: Wilt thou not answer
Abner? And Abner answering sayd: Who art thou, that criest
and disquietest the king?
15 And Dauid sayd to Abner: Art not
thou a man? And who is like thee in Israel? why therefore hast
thou not kept thy lord the king? for one of the multitude
hath entered in to kil the king thy lord.
16 This thing is not
good, which you haue done: Our Lord liueth, you are the
children of death, which haue not kept your lord, the annointed
of our Lord. Now therefore behold where the kinges
speare is, & where the cup of water is, which was at his head.
17 And Saul knew Dauids voice, and sayd: Is this thy voice,
my sonne Dauid? And Dauid sayd: My voice, my lord king,
18 and he said: For what cause doth my lord persecute his
seruant? What haue I done? or what euil is there in my hand?
19 Now therefore heare, I pray, my lord King, the wordes of
thy seruant: If our Lord stirre thee vp against me, let there
be odoure of sacrifice: but if the sonnes of men, they are cursed
in the sight of our Lord, which haue cast me out this day,
that I should not dwel in the inheritance of our Lord, saying:
Goe, serue strange goddes.
20 And now let not my blood be
shed vpon the earth before our Lord, for the king of Israel,
is come forth to seeke one flea, as the perdix is pursued in the
mountaines.
21 And Saul sayd: I haue sinned, returne my
sonne Dauid, for I wil no more doe thee euil, for that my life
hath bene precious in thyne eies to day: for it appeareth that
I haue done foolishly, and haue bene ignorant of very many
-- --

thinges.
22 And Dauid answering, sayd: Behold the kings
speare, let one of the kings seruants passe, and take it.
23 And
our Lord wil reward euerie one according to his iustice, and
fidelitie: for our Lord hath deliuered thee this day into my
hand, & I would not extend my hand vpon the annointed of
our Lord.
24 And as thy life hath bene magnified to day in
myne eies, so be my life magnified in the eies of our Lord, and
deliuer he me from al distresse.
25 Saul therefore sayd to Dauid:
Blessed art thou my sonne Dauid: and truly doing thou shalt
doe, and preuayling thou shalt preuaile. And Dauid went into
his way, and Saul returned into his place.
