1 Samuel, 29

1. The Philistines mustered all their forces at Aphek while the Israelites pitched camp near the spring in Jezreel.

1. Now the Philistines gathered all their forces at Aphek; and the Israelites were encamped by the fountain which is in Jezreel.

2. The Philistine commanders marched past with their hundreds and their thousands, and David and his men brought up the rear with Achish.

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 A'chish,

3. The Philistine chiefs asked, 'What are these Hebrews doing?' Achish replied to them, 'Why, this is David the servant of Saul, king of Israel, who has been with me for the last year or two. I have had no fault to find with him from the day he gave himself up to me until the present time.'

3. the commanders of the Philistines said, "What are these Hebrews doing here?" And A'chish said to the commanders of the Philistines, "Is not this 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."

4. But the Philistine chiefs were angry with him. 'Send the man back,' they said, 'make him go back to the place which you assigned to him. He cannot go into battle with us, in case he turns on us once battle is joined. Would there be a better way for the man to regain his master's favour than with the heads of these men here?

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?

5. Is not this the David of whom they sang as they danced: Saul has killed his thousands, and David his tens of thousands'?

5. Is not this David, of whom they sing to one another in dances, `Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands'?"

6. So Achish called David and said, 'As Yahweh lives, you are loyal, and I am quite content with all your doings in our campaigning together, since I have found no fault with you from the day you came to me until the present time. But you are not acceptable to the chiefs.

6. Then A'chish 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.

7. So go home, in peace, rather than antagonise them.'

7. So go back now; and go peaceably, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines."

8. 'But what have I done,' David asked Achish, 'what fault have you had to find with your servant from the day I entered your service to the present time, for me not to be allowed to go and fight the enemies of my lord the king?'

8. And David said to A'chish, "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. In reply, Achish said to David, 'In my opinion, it is true, you are as good as an angel of God; but the Philistine chiefs have said, "He must not go into battle with us."

9. And A'chish made answer to David, "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.'

10. So get up early tomorrow morning, with your master's servants who came with you, and go to the place which I assigned to you. Do not harbour resentment, since personally I have no fault to find with you. Get up early tomorrow morning and, as soon as it is light, be off.'

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."

11. So David and his men got up early to leave at dawn and go back to Philistine territory. And the Philistines marched on Jezreel.

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.

Fusnote:

29:1-2 - Filistejci okupljaju svoje trupe za bitku protiv Izraela, a na Davida, koji je među njima, gleda se sa sumnjom. Davidov savez s izraelskim neprijateljima odražava složenu situaciju u kojoj on pokušava ostati siguran od Šaula (vidi također 1. Samuelova 27:1 i 1. Samuelova 28:1-2).

29:3-5 - Filistejski prinčevi dovode u pitanje Davidovu prisutnost u vojsci, prisjećajući se njegove reputacije ratnika za Izrael. Davidova slava kao ubojice Golijata i vojskovođe nije zaboravljena, čak ni među njegovim neprijateljima (vidi također 1. Samuelova 17:50-52 i 1. Samuelova 18:7).

29:6-7 - Akiš, kralj Gata, brani Davida, tvrdeći da je bio lojalan. Međutim, kako bi izbjegao unutarnji sukob, Akiš potiče Davida da se vrati kući i ne sudjeluje u bitci protiv Izraela. Ovo pokazuje Ahiševu diplomaciju i Davidovu vještinu u održavanju odnosa s Filistejcima (vidi također 1. Samuelova 27:8-12 i 1. Samuelova 30:1-3).

29:8-9 - David dovodi u pitanje odluku, ali Achish ponavlja svoje povjerenje, govoreći da se David čini besprijekoran poput Božjeg anđela. Ovo otkriva do koje je mjere David uspio steći Ahiševo povjerenje, iako je bio Izraelac (vidi također 1. Samuelova 28:1-2 i 2. Samuelova 14:17).

29:10-11 - David i njegovi ljudi povlače se, vraćajući se u Ziklag, gdje će se na kraju suočiti s daljnjim poteškoćama. Davidov odlazak iz bitke pokazuje kako ga je Bog zaštitio od borbe protiv vlastitog naroda, Izraela (vidi također 1. Samuelova 30:1-3 i Psalam 34:7).

Stihovi vezani uz 1 Samuel, 29:

Prva Samuelova glava 29 pripovijeda o Davidovoj dilemi među Filistejcima. Kako Bog koristi čak i neprijatelje da zaštiti svoje pomazanike? Ovaj napeti tekst opisuje Davidovo odbacivanje od strane filistejskih vođa prije bitke protiv Izraela. Poglavlje istražuje teme povjerenja, ugleda i božanske providnosti koja djeluje kroz naizgled negativne okolnosti. Davidov integritet je doveden u pitanje, ali je njegov izlazak iz sukoba osiguran. Razmotrite s nama pet biblijskih odlomaka koji osvjetljavaju načela vjernosti i božanskog vodstva dokazana u ovom ključnom poglavlju.

Psalmi 118:6: "Gospodin je sa mnom; Neću se bojati. Što mi mogu muškarci?" - To odražava povjerenje koje je David mogao imati u Boga, umjesto da ovisi o zaštiti Filistejaca.

Izreke 3,5-6: "Uzdaj se u Gospodina svim svojim srcem i ne oslanjaj se na vlastiti razum; priznaj Gospodina na svim svojim putovima i on će poravniti tvoje staze." - Nudi perspektivu o tome kako je David mogao postupiti, vjerujući Bogu, a ne ljudskim savezima.

2. Korinćanima 6,17: "Zato iziđi između njih i odvoji se, govori Gospodin. Ne diraj nečiste stvari, i ja ću te dočekati." - Odnosi se na Davidovo odvajanje od Filistejaca, iako je bilo prisiljeno okolnostima.

Psalmi 26,4-5: "Ne družim se s lažnim ljudima, niti se družim s licemjerima. Mrzim okupljanje zločinaca i ne sjedim s bezbožnicima." - To je u suprotnosti s Davidovim ranijim druženjem s Filistejcima i njegovim kasnijim odvajanjem.

Efežanima 5,11: "Ne sudjelujte u besplodnim djelima tame; nego ih izložite svjetlu." - Razmišlja o Davidovom kompromitirajućem položaju među Filistejcima i njegovom konačnom odvajanju od njih.

FAQ:

Zašto su filistejski knezovi odbacili Davida?

Filistejski su se vođe bojali da će se David okrenuti protiv njih u bitci, pa su zahtijevali da ga Akiš pošalje natrag. (1. Samuelova 29,3-5)

Što je Akiš rekao Davidu kad ga je poslao?

Akiš je rekao da vjeruje Davidu, ali ga filistejski knezovi nisu željeli u ratu, pa bi se trebao vratiti u Siklag. (1. Samuelova 29,6-7)

Kako je David reagirao na odluku Filistejaca?

David je odglumio ogorčenje i upitao Akiša zašto se ne može boriti, ali on ga je poslušao i vratio se u Siklag. (1. Samuelova 29,8-11)

Zašto su se Filistejci bojali da će ih David izdati?

Sjetili su se kako je David pobijedio Golijata i njegove slave u Izraelu kao velikog ratnika. (1. Samuelova 29,5)

Što ova epizoda otkriva o božanskoj providnosti?

To pokazuje da je Bog spriječio Davida da se bori protiv Izraela, čuvajući svoj integritet i buduću vladavinu. (1. Samuelova 29:11)
