23:24. And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: and David and his
men were in the desert of Maon, in the plain at the right hand of
Jesimon.
23:25. Then Saul and his men went to seek him: and it was told David,
and forthwith he went down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of
Maon: and when Saul had heard of it, he pursued after David in the
wilderness of Maon.
23:26. And Saul went on this side of the mountain: and David and his men
were on the other side of the mountain: and David despaired of being
able to escape from the face of Saul: and Saul and his men encompassed
David and his men round about, to take them.
23:27. And a messenger came to Saul, saying: Make haste to come, for the
Philistines have poured in themselves upon the land.
23:28. Wherefore Saul returned, leaving the pursuit of David, and went
to meet the Philistines. For this cause they called that place the rock
of division.
1 Kings Chapter 24
Saul seeketh David in the wilderness of Engaddi: he goeth into a cave
where David hath him in his power.
24:1. Then David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds of
Engaddi.
24:2. And when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, they
told him, saying: Behold, David is in the desert of Engaddi.
24:3. Saul, therefore, took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel,
and went out to seek after David and his men, even upon the most craggy
rocks, which are accessible only to wild goats.
24:4. And he came to the sheepcotes which were in his way. And there was
a cave, into which Saul went, to ease nature: now David and his men lay
hid in the inner part of the cave.
24:5. And the servants of David said to him: Behold the day, of which
the Lord said to thee: I will deliver thy enemy unto thee, that thou
mayst do to him as it shall seem good in thy eyes. Then David arose, and
secretly cut off the hem of Saul's robe.
24:6. After which David's heart struck him, because he had cut off the
hem of Saul's robe.
Heart struck him... Viz., with remorse, as fearing he had done amiss.
24:7. And he said to his men: The Lord be merciful unto me, that I may
do no such thing to my master, the Lord's anointed, as to lay my hand
upon him, because he is the Lord's anointed.
24:8. And David stopped his men with his words, and suffered them not to
rise against Saul: but Saul, rising up out of the cave, went on his way.
24:9. And David also rose up after him: and going out of the cave, cried
after Saul, saying: My lord the king. And Saul looked behind him: and
David bowing himself down to the ground, worshipped,
24:10. And said to Saul: Why dost thou hear the words of men that say:
David seeketh thy hurt?
24:11 Behold this day thy eyes have seen, that the Lord hath delivered
thee into my hand, in the cave, and I had a thought to kill thee, but my
eye hath spared thee. For I said: I will not put out my hand against my
lord, because he is the Lord's anointed.
A thought to kill thee... That is, a suggestion, to which I did not
consent.
24:12. Moreover, see and know, O my father, the hem of thy robe in my
hand, that when I cut off the hem of thy robe, I would not put out my
hand against thee. Reflect, and see, that there is no evil in my hand,
nor iniquity, neither have I sinned against thee: but thou liest in wait
for my life, to take it away.
24:13. The Lord judge between me and thee and the Lord revenge me of
thee: but my hand shall not be upon thee.
