Löydetty 1058 Tulokset: David's Reign
David then asked Ahimelech the Hittite, and Abishai, son of Zeruiah and Joab's brother, "Who will go down into the camp with me to Saul?" Abishai answered, "I will go down with you." (1 Samuel 26, 6)
So, that night, David and Abishai went into the camp and found Saul sleeping in the center, his spear thrust into the ground at his head, while Abner and the rest of the soldiers were sleeping around him. (1 Samuel 26, 7)
Abishai said to David, "God has delivered your enemy into your hands this day. Let me nail him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; I will not repeat it." (1 Samuel 26, 8)
But David answered Abishai, "Do not harm him. For who could harm Yahweh's anointed and not be punished? (1 Samuel 26, 9)
So David took the spear and the water jug from near Saul's head and they left. Nobody saw, nobody knew, nobody woke up. All remained asleep, for a deep sleep from Yahweh had fallen on them. (1 Samuel 26, 12)
On the opposite slope David stood at a distance, on top of the hill, (1 Samuel 26, 13)
David said to Abner, "Are you not a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then did you not closely guard your lord the king? An ordinary man has broken into the camp and made an attempt on the life of the king your lord. (1 Samuel 26, 15)
Saul recognized David's voice and asked, "Is that your voice, David my son?" David answered, "It is my voice, my lord, O king! (1 Samuel 26, 17)
Then Saul said, "I have done wrong. Come back, David my son. I will not harm you anymore since you valued my life this day. I have acted like a fool and have made a great mistake." (1 Samuel 26, 21)
David answered, "I have your spear with me, O king! Let one of your servants come over to fetch it. (1 Samuel 26, 22)
Finally Saul told David, "Blessed are you, David my son! You shall succeed in everything you do." Then David went his way and Saul went home. (1 Samuel 26, 25)
David thought, "Some day I shall die at the hand of Saul. It is better for me to escape to the land of the Philistines where I shall be beyond his reach and Saul will get tired of searching for me within the borders of Israel." (1 Samuel 27, 1)
