1 Samuel 30
Schlachter-Bibel 1951
1Als nun David samt seinen Männern am dritten Tag gen Ziklag kam, waren die Amalekiter in das Mittagsland und in Ziklag eingefallen und hatten Ziklag geschlagen und mit Feuer verbrannt
2und hatten die Weiber und alles, was dort war, hinweggeführt, klein und groß. Sie hatten aber niemand getötet, sondern sie hinweggetrieben und waren ihres Weges gezogen.
3Als nun David samt seinen Männern zur Stadt kam und sah, daß sie mit Feuer verbrannt und ihre Weiber, ihre Söhne und Töchter gefangen waren,
4erhoben David und das Volk, das bei ihm war, ihre Stimme und weinten, bis sie nicht mehr weinen konnten.
5Und die beiden Weiber Davids, Achinoam, die Jesreelitin, und Abigail, das Weib Nabals, des Karmeliters, waren auch gefangen weggeführt worden.
6Und David war sehr bedrängt, denn das Volk wollte ihn steinigen; denn die Seele des ganzen Volks war betrübt, ein jeder wegen seiner Söhne und wegen seiner Töchter.
7David aber hielt sich fest an dem HERRN, seinem Gott. Und David sprach zu Abjatar, dem Priester, dem Sohne Achimelechs: Bring mir doch das Ephod her! Und als Abjatar das Ephod zu David gebracht hatte,
8fragte David den HERRN und sprach: Soll ich dieser Horde nachjagen? Werde ich sie einholen? Er sprach zu ihm: Jage ihnen nach; denn du wirst sie gewiß einholen und wirst gewiß Rettung schaffen!
9Da zog David hin samt den sechshundert Männern, die bei ihm waren. Und als sie an den Bach Besor kamen, blieb eine Anzahl stehen.
10David aber und vierhundert Mann jagten nach; die zweihundert Mann aber, die stehenblieben, waren zu müde, um über den Bach Besor zu gehen.
11Und sie fanden einen ägyptischen Mann auf dem Felde, den führten sie zu David und gaben ihm Brot zu essen und tränkten ihn mit Wasser
12und gaben ihm ein Stück Feigenkuchen und zwei Rosinenkuchen. Und als er gegessen hatte, kam er wieder zu sich selbst; denn er hatte während drei Tagen und drei Nächten nichts gegessen und kein Wasser getrunken.
13David sprach zu ihm: Wem gehörst du? Und woher bist du? Er sprach: Ich bin ein ägyptischer Jüngling, eines Amalekiters Knecht, und mein Herr hat mich verlassen, denn ich wurde krank vor drei Tagen.
14Wir sind eingefallen in das Mittagsland der Kreter und in Juda und in das Mittagsland von Kaleb und haben Ziklag mit Feuer verbrannt.
15David sprach zu ihm: Willst du mich zu dieser Horde hinabführen? Er antwortete: Schwöre mir bei Gott, daß du mich nicht töten, noch in die Hand meines Herrn ausliefern wirst, so will ich dich zu dieser Horde hinabführen!
16Also führte er ihn hinab und siehe, sie lagen über das ganze Land zerstreut, aßen und tranken und hielten Feste ob all der großen Beute, die sie aus dem Lande der Philister und aus dem Land Juda geraubt hatten.
17Und David schlug sie von der Morgendämmerung an bis zum Abend des folgenden Tages, so daß keiner von ihnen entrann, außer vierhundert Jünglingen, welche auf Kamele stiegen und entflohen.
18Also errettete David alles, was die Amalekiter genommen hatten; und seine beiden Weiber errettete David auch.
19Und es mangelte nichts, weder Kleines noch Großes, weder Söhne noch Töchter noch von der Beute irgend etwas, das sie ihnen genommen hatten. David brachte alles wieder.
20Und David nahm alle Schafe und Rinder, und sie trieben sie vor ihm her, und sie sprachen: Das ist Davids Beute!
21Und als David zu den zweihundert Männern kam, die so matt gewesen, daß sie David nicht nachfolgen konnten und am Bach Besor verblieben waren, zogen sie David und dem Volk, das mit ihm war, entgegen. Und David trat zum Volk und grüßte sie.
22Da antworteten alle bösen und nichtswürdigen Leute unter denen, die mit David gezogen waren, und sprachen: Weil sie nicht mit uns gezogen sind, soll man ihnen nichts geben von der Beute, die wir gerettet haben, außer einem jeden sein Weib und seine Kinder; die sollen sie nehmen und gehen!
23Da sprach David: Ihr sollt nicht also tun, meine Brüder, mit dem, was uns der HERR gegeben hat, der uns behütet und diese Horde, die wider uns gekommen war, in unsre Hand gegeben hat.
24Wer könnte eurem Vorschlag gehorchen? Sondern wie das Teil derer ist, die in den Streit hinabgezogen sind, also soll auch das Teil derer sein, die bei dem Gepäck geblieben sind; es soll gleich geteilt werden!
25Das ist seit der Zeit und forthin in Israel zum Brauch und Recht geworden bis auf diesen Tag.
26Als aber David gen Ziklag kam, sandte er von der Beute den Ältesten in Juda, seinen Freunden, und sprach: Sehet, da habt ihr ein Geschenk von der Beute der Feinde des HERRN!
27Nämlich denen zu Bethel, und denen zu Ramot im Mittagsland, und denen zu Jattir,
28und denen zu Aroer, und denen zu Siphmot, und denen zu Estemoa,
29und denen zu Rachal, und denen in den Städten der Jerachmeeliter, und denen in den Städten der Keniter;
30und denen zu Horma, und denen zu Koreschan, und denen zu Atach,
31und denen zu Hebron, und an allen Orten, wohin David mit seinen Männern gekommen war.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y CUANDO David y los suyos vinieron á Siclag al tercer día, los de Amalec habían invadido el mediodía y á Siclag, y habían desolado á Siclag, y puéstola á fuego.
2Y habíanse llevado cautivas á las mujeres que estaban en ella, desde el menor hasta el mayor; mas á nadie habían muerto, sino llevado, é ídose su camino.
3Vino pues David con los suyos á la ciudad, y he aquí que estaba quemada á fuego, y sus mujeres y sus hijos é hijas llevadas cautivas.
4Entonces David y la gente que con él estaba, alzaron su voz y lloraron, hasta que les faltaron las fuerzas para llorar.
5Las dos mujeres de David, Ahinoam Jezreelita y Abigail la que fué mujer de Nabal del Carmelo, también eran cautivas.
6Y David fué muy angustiado, porque el pueblo hablaba de apedrearlo; porque todo el pueblo estaba con ánimo amargo, cada uno por sus hijos y por sus hijas: mas David se esforzó en Jehová su Dios.
7Y dijo David al sacerdote Abiathar hijo de Ahimelech: Yo te ruego que me acerques el ephod. Y Abiathar acercó el ephod á David.
8Y David consultó á Jehová, diciendo: ¿Seguiré esta tropa? ¿podréla alcanzar? Y él le dijo: Síguela, que de cierto la alcanzarás, y sin falta librarás la presa.
9Partióse pues David, él y los seiscientos hombres que con él estaban, y vinieron hasta el torrente de Besor, donde se quedaron algunos.
10Y David siguió el alcance con cuatrocientos hombres; porque se quedaron atrás doscientos, que cansados no pudieron pasar el torrente de Besor.
11Y hallaron en el campo un hombre Egipcio, el cual trajeron á David, y diéronle pan que comiese, y á beber agua;
12Diéronle también un pedazo de masa de higos secos, y dos hilos de pasas. Y luego que comió, volvió en él su espíritu; porque no había comido pan ni bebido agua en tres días y tres noches.
13Y díjole David: ¿De quién eres tú? ¿y de dónde eres? Y respondió el mozo Egipcio: Yo soy siervo de un Amalecita, y dejóme mi amo hoy ha tres días, porque estaba enfermo;
14Pues hicimos una incursión á la parte del mediodía de Cerethi, y á Judá, y al mediodía de Caleb; y pusimos fuego á Siclag.
15Y díjole David: ¿Me llevarás tú á esa tropa? Y él dijo: Hazme juramento por Dios que no me matarás, ni me entregarás en las manos de mi amo, y yo te llevaré á esa gente.
16Llevólo pues: y he aquí que estaban derramados sobre la haz de toda aquella tierra, comiendo y bebiendo y haciendo fiesta, por toda aquella gran presa que habían tomado de la tierra de los Filisteos, y de la tierra de Judá.
17E hiriólos David desde aquella mañana hasta la tarde del día siguiente: y no escapó de ellos ninguno, sino cuatrocientos mancebos, que habían subido en camellos y huyeron.
18Y libró David todo lo que los Amalecitas habían tomado: y asimismo libertó David á sus dos mujeres.
19Y no les faltó cosa chica ni grande, así de hijos como de hijas, del robo, y de todas las cosas que les habían tomado: todo lo recobró David.
20Tomó también David todas las ovejas y ganados mayores; y trayéndolo todo delante, decían: Esta es la presa de David.
21Y vino David á los doscientos hombres que habían quedado cansados y no habían podido seguir á David, á los cuales habían hecho quedar en el torrente de Besor; y ellos salieron á recibir á David, y al pueblo que con él estaba. Y como David llegó á la gente, saludóles con paz.
22Entonces todos los malos y perversos de entre los que habían ido con David, respondieron y dijeron: Pues que no fueron con nosotros, no les daremos de la presa que hemos quitado, sino á cada uno su mujer y sus hijos; los cuales tomen y se vayan.
23Y David dijo: No hagáis eso, hermanos míos, de lo que nos ha dado Jehová; el cual nos ha guardado, y ha entregado en nuestras manos la caterva que vino sobre nosotros.
24¿Y quién os escuchará en este caso? porque igual parte ha de ser la de los que vienen á la batalla, y la de los que quedan con el bagaje: que partan juntamente.
25Y desde aquel día en adelante fué esto puesto por ley y ordenanza en Israel, hasta hoy.
26Y como David llegó á Siclag, envió de la presa á los ancianos de Judá, sus amigos, diciendo: He aquí una bendición para vosotros, de la presa de los enemigos de Jehová.
27A los que estaban en Beth-el, y en Ramoth al mediodía, y á los que estaban en Jattir;
28Y á los que estaban en Aroer, y en Siphmoth, y á los que estaban en Esthemoa;
29Y á los que estaban en Rachâl, y á los que estaban en las ciudades de Jerameel, y á los que estaban en las ciudades del Cineo;
30Y á los que estaban en Horma, y á los que estaban en Chôrasán, y á los que estaban en Athach;
31Y á los que estaban en Hebrón, y en todos los lugares donde David había estado con los suyos.
King James Version
1And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
2And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.
3So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
4Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
7And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
8And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.
9So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
10But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
11And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
12And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
13And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.
14We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
15And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.
16And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
17And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.
18And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.
19And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
20And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil.
21And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
22Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.
23Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
24For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.
25And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
26And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
27To them which were in Beth-el, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,
28And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,
29And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites,
30And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chor-ashan, and to them which were in Athach,
31And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
World English Bible
1When David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid on the South and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag and burned it with fire,
2and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They didn’t kill any, but carried them off and went their way.
3When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters were taken captive.
4Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept until they had no more power to weep.
5David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
7David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
8David inquired of the LORD, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue, for you will surely overtake them, and will without fail recover all.”
9So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
10But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn’t go over the brook Besor.
11They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.
12They gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, and drank no water for three days and three nights.
13David asked him, “To whom do you belong? Where are you from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I got sick.
14We made a raid on the South of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
15David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this troop?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me and not deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop.”
16When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great plunder that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
17David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled.
18David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives.
19There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither plunder, nor anything that they had taken. David brought them all back.
20David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, “This is David’s plunder.”
21David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to stay at the brook Besor; and they went out to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. When David came near to the people, he greeted them.
22Then all the wicked men and worthless fellows of those who went with David answered and said, “Because they didn’t go with us, we will not give them anything of the plunder that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away and depart.”
23Then David said, “Do not do so, my brothers, with that which the LORD has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
24Who will listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays with the baggage. They shall share alike.”
25It was so from that day forward that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
26When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, “Behold, a present for you from the plunder of the LORD’s enemies.”
27He sent it to those who were in Bethel, to those who were in Ramoth of the South, to those who were in Jattir,
28to those who were in Aroer, to those who were in Siphmoth, to those who were in Eshtemoa,
29to those who were in Racal, to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
30to those who were in Hormah, to those who were in Borashan, to those who were in Athach,
31to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
