ΚΑΙ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ καὶ ἀπῆλθε, καὶ Ἰωνάθαν εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν. καὶ ἔρχεται Δαυὶδ εἰς Νομβὰ πρὸς Ἀβιμέλεχ τὸν ἱερέα. καὶ ἐξέστη Ἀβιμέλεχ τῇ ἀπαντήσει αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· τί ὅτι σὺ μόνος καὶ οὐθεὶς μετὰ σοῦ; καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ τῷ ἱερεῖ· ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐντέταλταί μοι ρῆμα σήμερον καὶ εἶπέ μοι· μηδεὶς γνώτω τὸ ρῆμα, περὶ οὗ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω σε καὶ ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐγὼ ἐντέταλμαί σοι· καὶ τοῖς παιδαρίοις διαμεμαρτύρημαι ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τῷ λεγομένῳ Θεοῦ πίστις, Φελλανὶ Ἀλεμωνί· καὶ νῦν εἰ εἰσὶν ὑπὸ τὴν χεῖρά σου πέντε ἄρτοι, δὸς εἰς χεῖρά μου τὸ εὑρεθέν. καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἱερεὺς τῷ Δαυίδ, καὶ εἶπεν· οὐκ εἰσὶν ἄρτοι βέβηλοι ὑπὸ τὴν χεῖρά μου, ὅτι ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἄρτοι ἅγιοί εἰσιν· εἰ πεφυλαγμένα τὰ παιδάριά ἐστιν ἀπὸ γυναικός, καὶ φάγεται. καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Δαυὶδ τῷ ἱερεῖ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ γυναικὸς ἀπεσχήμεθα ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν· ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν με εἰς ὁδὸν γέγονε πάντα τὰ παιδία ἡγνισμένα, καὶ αὐτὴ ἡ ὁδὸς βέβηλος, διότι ἁγιασθήσεται σήμερον διὰ τὰ σκεύη μου. καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Ἀβιμέλεχ ὁ ἱερεὺς τοὺς ἄρτους τῆς προθέσεως, ὅτι οὐκ ἦν ἐκεῖ ἄρτος, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἄρτοι τοῦ προσώπου οἱ ἀφῃρημένοι ἐκ προσώπου Κυρίου τοῦ παρατεθῆναι ἄρτον θερμὸν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἔλαβεν αὐτούς. καὶ ἐκεῖ ἦν ἓν τῶν παιδαρίων τοῦ Σαοὺλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ συνεχόμενος νεεσσαρὰν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Δωὴκ ὁ Σύρος νέμων τὰς ἡμιόνους Σαούλ. καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ἀβιμέλεχ· ἰδὲ εἰ ἔστιν ἐνταῦθα ὑπὸ τὴν χεῖρά σου δόρυ ἢ ρομφαία, ὅτι τὴν ρομφαίαν μου καὶ τὰ σκεύη οὐκ εἴληφα ἐν τῇ χειρί μου, ὅτι ἦν τὸ ρῆμα τοῦ βασιλέως κατὰ σπουδήν. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἱερεύς· ἰδοὺ ἡ ρομφαία Γολιὰθ τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου, ὃν ἐπάταξας ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι Ἠλά, καὶ αὐτὴν ἐνειλημμένη ἦν ἐν ἱματίῳ· εἰ ταύτην λήψῃ, σεαυτῷ λαβέ, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἑτέρα πάρεξ ταύτης ἐνταῦθα. καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ὥσπερ αὐτή, δός μοι αὐτήν. καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν αὐτῷ· καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ καὶ ἔφυγεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐκ προσώπου Σαούλ. Καὶ ἦλθε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Ἀγχοῦς βασιλέα Γέθ. καὶ εἶπον οἱ παῖδες Ἀγχοῦς πρὸς αὐτόν· οὐχὶ οὗτος Δαυὶδ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῆς γῆς; οὐχὶ τούτῳ ἐξῆρχον αἱ χορεύουσαι λέγουσαι· ἐπάταξε Σαοὺλ ἐν χιλιάσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ Δαυὶδ ἐν μυριάσιν αὐτοῦ; καὶ ἔθετο Δαυὶδ τὰ ρήματα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐφοβήθη σφόδρα ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἀγχοῦς βασιλέως Γέθ. καὶ ἠλλοίωσε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ καὶ προσεποιήσατο ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἐτυμπάνιζεν ἐπὶ ταῖς θύραις τῆς πόλεως καὶ παρεφέρετο ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔπιπτεν ἐπὶ τὰς θύρας τῆς πύλης, καὶ τὰ σίελα αὐτοῦ κατέρρει ἐπὶ τὸν πώγωνα αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπεν Ἀγχοῦς πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ· ἰδοὺ ἴδετε ἄνδρα ἐπίληπτον, ἱνατί εἰσηγάγετε αὐτὸν πρός με; μὴ ἐλαττοῦμαι ἐπιλήπτων ἐγώ, ὅτι εἰσαγηόχατε αὐτὸν ἐπιληπτεύεσθαι πρός με; οὗτος οὐκ εἰσελεύσεται εἰς οἰκίαν.
