撒母耳记上24:1~15
大卫饶扫罗的命
1 扫罗追赶非利士人回来,有人告诉他说:「大卫在隐‧基底的旷野。」
2 扫罗就从以色列人中挑选三千精兵,率领他们往野羊的磐石去,寻索大卫和跟随他的人。
3 到了路旁的羊圈,在那里有洞,扫罗进去大解。大卫和跟随他的人正藏在洞里的深处。
4 跟随的人对大卫说:「耶/和/华曾应许你说:『我要将你的仇敌交在你手里,你可以任意待他。』如今时候到了!」大卫就起来,悄悄地割下扫罗外袍的衣襟。
5 随后大卫心中自责,因为割下扫罗的衣襟;
6 对跟随他的人说:「我的主乃是耶/和/华的受膏者,我在耶/和/华面前万不敢伸手害他,因他是耶/和/华的受膏者。」
7 大卫用这话拦住跟随他的人,不容他们起来害扫罗。扫罗起来,从洞里出去行路。
8 随后大卫也起来,从洞里出去,呼叫扫罗说:「我主,我王!」扫罗回头观看,大卫就屈身、脸伏于地下拜。
9 大卫对扫罗说:「你为何听信人的谗言,说大卫想要害你呢?
10 今日你亲眼看见在洞中,耶/和/华将你交在我手里;有人叫我杀你,我却爱惜你,说:『我不敢伸手害我的主,因为他是耶/和/华的受膏者。』
11 我父啊,看看你外袍的衣襟在我手中。我割下你的衣襟,没有杀你;你由此可以知道我没有恶意叛逆你。你虽然猎取我的命,我却没有得罪你。
12 愿耶/和/华在你我中间判断是非,在你身上为我伸冤,我却不亲手加害于你。
13 古人有句俗语说:『恶事出于恶人。』我却不亲手加害于你。
14 以色列王出来要寻找谁呢?追赶谁呢?不过追赶一条死狗,一个虼蚤就是了。
15 愿耶/和/华在你我中间施行审判,断定是非,并且鉴察,为我伸冤,救我脱离你的手。」
David Spares Saul’s Life
1 After Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, he was told, “David is in the Desert of En Gedi.”
2 So Saul took three thousand able young men from all Israel and set out to look for David and his men near the Crags of the Wild Goats.
3 He came to the sheep pens along the way; a cave was there, and Saul went in to relieve himself. David and his men were far back in the cave.
4 The men said, “This is the day the Lord spoke of when he said to you, ‘I will give your enemy into your hands for you to deal with as you wish.’ ” Then David crept up unnoticed and cut off a corner of Saul’s robe.
5 Afterward, David was conscience-stricken for having cut off a corner of his robe.
6 He said to his men, “The Lord forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the Lord’s anointed, or lay my hand on him; for he is the anointed of the Lord.”
7 With these words David sharply rebuked his men and did not allow them to attack Saul. And Saul left the cave and went his way.
8 Then David went out of the cave and called out to Saul, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground.
9 He said to Saul, “Why do you listen when men say, ‘David is bent on harming you’?
10 This day you have seen with your own eyes how the Lord delivered you into my hands in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you; I said, ‘I will not lay my hand on my lord, because he is the Lord’s anointed.’
11 See, my father, look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut off the corner of your robe but did not kill you. See that there is nothing in my hand to indicate that I am guilty of wrongdoing or rebellion. I have not wronged you, but you are hunting me down to take my life.
12 May the Lord judge between you and me. And may the Lord avenge the wrongs you have done to me, but my hand will not touch you.
13 As the old saying goes, ‘From evildoers come evil deeds,’ so my hand will not touch you.
14 “Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Who are you pursuing? A dead dog? A flea?
15 May the Lord be our judge and decide between us. May he consider my cause and uphold it; may he vindicate me by delivering me from your hand.”
