撒母耳记上第29章

《圣经》撒母耳记上-第29章

撒上29:1 非利士人将他们的军旅聚到亚弗；以色列人在耶斯列的泉旁安营。 (串)撒上28:1|书12:18撒上4:1|书17:16|士7:1

†[吕]非利士人将他们的众军兵集合到亚弗；以色列人则在一个水泉旁扎营：那水泉是在耶斯列。

†[思]培肋舍特人将军队全调集在阿费克，同时以色列人在依次勒耳附近的泉旁扎营。

†[当代]非利士军齐集在亚弗，以色列军就在耶斯列的水泉旁边扎营。

†[新译]非利士人把他们所有的军队都聚集在亚弗，以色列人却在耶斯列的泉旁安营。

†[Wlb]非利士人集其军旅于亚弗、以色列人建营于耶斯列泉旁、

†[Xdv]非利士人在亚弗集合他们所有的军队；以色列人在耶斯列谷的溪旁扎营。

†[Kjv]Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in Jezreel.

†[Nkjv]Then the Philistines gathered together all their armies at Aphek, and the Israelites encamped by a fountain which is in Jezreel.

†[BBE]Now the Philistines got all their army together at Aphek: and the Israelites put their forces in position by the fountain in Jezreel.

†[GNT] The Philistines brought all their troops together at Aphek, while the Israelites camped at the spring in Jezreel Valley.

†[NIV]The Philistines gathered all their forces at Aphek, and Israel camped by the spring in Jezreel.

本会注释　　亚弗。有好几个城镇叫亚弗（见@撒上4:1@注释），但它们中任何一座已知的地点都不靠近基利波山。如果撒上28和29章是按时间顺序的话，那就暗示非利士人先安营在书念，对着基利波的以色列人（撒上28:4），然后移师亚弗（撒上29:1）。但是不同的参考书对于究竟是南亚弗还是北亚弗，意见还有分歧。如果这里的叙述是在扫罗访问隐多珥的故事之后（撒上28:3-25），回到撒上28:2搁下的地方，继续大卫的故事（大卫奉亚吉征召帮助非利士人与以色列作战），那么29章就是接着讲述他在亚弗被非利士的首领们所拒绝。非利士人“将他们的军旅聚到亚弗”（撒上29:1）。如果这就是在他们前往书念之前的集结（撒上28:4），那么亚弗就是在从非利士到书念的路上了，但不一定靠近书念。所以许多人认为亚弗是安提帕底。非利士人曾从那里攻击过以色列（撒上4:1）并掳走了约柜。
　　耶斯列的泉。耶斯列平原上有两个大泉；一个是`Ain Jālūd，称为“哈律泉”（士7:1），从基利波山肩北部的断崖喷出来，高出平原数百米。另一个是`Ain Tuba`ūn，在平原的中心。扫罗似乎很可能会留在`Ain Jālūd上面的山肩上。这是从平原很难以接近的位置，而不是下到`Ain Tuba`ūn。那里虽然更接近非利士人，但却不会给他提供任何战术的有利条件。

撒上29:2 非利士人的首领各率军队，或百或千，挨次前进；大卫和跟随他的人同着亚吉跟在后边。 (串)书13:3|撒上28:1,2

†[吕]非利士人的霸主、各带军兵，有的一百，有的一千，挨次前进；大卫和跟随的人、同着亚吉、在后头跟着。

†[思]培肋舍特的长，有领一百人的，也有领一千人的，列阵在前；达味带领自己的人同阿基士列阵在后。

†[当代]非利士的将领统率千百雄兵，大卫和他的部下就在亚吉王的后面。

†[新译]非利士人的首领各率领百人或千人前进；大卫和跟随他的人也跟在亚吉的后面前进。

†[Wlb]非利士牧伯率军、或百或千、向前而进、大卫与其从者偕亚吉、随诸其后、

†[Xdv]五个非利士酋长带着他们的部队──百人一队和千人一队地依次前进。大卫和他的部队跟着亚吉走在后面。

†[Kjv]And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rereward with Achish.

†[Nkjv]And the lords of the Philistines passed in review by hundreds and by thousands, but David and his men passed in review at the rear with Achish.

†[BBE]And the lords of the Philistines went on with their hundreds and their thousands, and David and his men came after with Achish.

†[GNT] The five Philistine kings marched out with their units of a hundred and of a thousand men; David and his men marched in the rear with King Achish.

†[NIV]As the Philistine rulers marched with their units of hundreds and thousands, David and his men were marching at the rear with Achish.

撒上29:3 非利士人的首领说：“这些希伯来人在这里做什么呢？”亚吉对他们说：“这不是以色列王扫罗的臣子大卫吗？他在我这里有些年日了。自从他投降我直到今日，我未曾见他有过错。” (串)撒上27:7|但6:4

†[吕]非利士人的统领说：“这些希伯来人是什么东西？”亚吉对非利士人的统领说：“这不是以色列王扫罗的臣仆么？他在我这里有些年日了；自从他流落来投、直到今日、我未曾见他有什么过错阿。”

†[思]培肋舍特人的将领说：“这些希伯来人作什么？”阿基士回答培肋舍特人的将领说：“他不是以色列王撒乌耳的臣仆达味吗？他已同我在一起有一二年了，从他归顺我那一天起，他已在他身上从未发现什么过错”。

†[当代]非利士的长官怀疑大卫和他的部属，说：“这些以色列人跟来干什么呢？”亚吉王告诉他们说：“这是扫罗王的逃仆大卫，他追随在我左右已经有一段日子了，我从来没有发现他有什么过犯啊。”

†[新译]非利士人的领袖说：“这些希伯来人在这里作什么？”亚吉对非利士人的领袖说：“这人不是以色列王扫罗的臣仆大卫吗？他已经在我这里有好些年日了。自从他降服我的一天，直到今日，我未曾发现他有什么过错。”

†[Wlb]非利士牧伯曰、此希伯来人何为、亚吉曰、此非以色列王扫罗臣仆大卫乎、彼与我偕、有日有年、自投诚至今、未见其有过、

†[Xdv]非利士的将领们看见他们，就问：“这些希伯来人在这里干什么？”亚吉说：“这是大卫，以色列王扫罗的一个军官。他跟从我已经有一段时候。自从他投奔我到现在，我找不出他有什么差错。”

†[Kjv]Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no f

†[Nkjv]Then the princes of the Philistines said, "What are these Hebrews doing here?" And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, "Is this not David, the servant of Saul king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or these years? And to this day I ha

†[BBE]Then the rulers of the Philistines said, What are these Hebrews doing here? And Achish said to the rulers of the Philistines, Is this not David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me for a year or two, and I have never seen any wron

†[GNT] The Philistine commanders saw them and asked, "What are these Hebrews doing here?" Achish answered, "This is David, an official of King Saul of Israel. He has been with me for quite some time now. He has done nothing I can find fault with since the day h

†[NIV]The commanders of the Philistines asked, "What about these Hebrews?" Achish replied, "Is this not David, who was an officer of Saul king of Israel? He has already been with me for over a year, and from the day he left Saul until now, I have found no fault

本会注释　　这些希伯来人在这里作什么呢？对于大卫来说，这样的质问无异于扎心的责备。他在自己同胞仇敌的营中是完全不合适的。他起初就不该在非利士人中寻求庇护。他走那一步并没有寻求上帝的指导。现在危机迫近了。大卫处于极大的窘境。他一点儿也不愿意拿起武器攻击他的弟兄。
　　我未曾见他有过错。亚吉对大卫的才干和可靠性表示信任；大卫回顾自己的欺诈和不诚实则无地自容。上帝怜悯处在困惑苦恼中的人！祂体贴地打开了逃脱之门，使人不致完全留在他们自己的行为所造成的后果中。祂仁慈地把愚蠢的大错改变成走向成功的踏脚石！那些全然谦卑愿意接受上帝指导的人，在他们所经历最黑暗时辰中，会发现来自意想不到源头的救助。藉着这些非利士首领们要求将大卫驱逐出营地，上帝在作工救出祂的仆人。

撒上29:4 非利士人的首领向亚吉发怒，对他说：“你要叫这人回你所安置他的地方，不可叫他同我们出战，恐怕他在阵上反为我们的敌人。他用什么与他主人复和呢？岂不是用我们这些人的首级吗？ (串)撒上14:21|代上12:19

†[吕]非利士人的统领恼怒亚吉，说：“你要叫这人回你所分派他的地方去，不可叫他同我们下战场，免得他在战场上变为敌挡我们的。这家伙要用什么去讨他主上的喜悦呢？岂不是用我们这些人的脑袋么？

†[思]培肋舍特将领向他大发愤怒说：“把这人打发回去，回到你给他指定的地方去，不要让他同我们一起下去打仗，免得他他在战争中作出卖我们的细，他不借用我们这些人的头，怎能获得他主人的欢心？

†[当代]可是，他们却非常愤怒地说：“请陛下送他们回去吧！这些人不会是真心跟我们并肩作战的，说不定他们还会在沙场上倒戈相向呢！如果他要重投故主，最好的方法不就是杀了我们去邀功吗？

†[新译]非利士人的领袖向亚吉发怒，对他说：“你叫这人回去，好让他回到你为他安排的地方去。他不可与我们一同下战场，免得他在战场上成为我们的对头。这人可用什么去得他主人的欢心呢？岂不是用我们这些人的头吗？

†[Wlb]牧伯怒亚吉曰、可使此人返尔所置之地、毋令偕我出战、恐战陈之间、反为我敌、彼欲与其主和、何所需耶、非以我众之首级乎、

†[Xdv]可是，非利士的将领们很不高兴，就对亚吉说：“把这个人遣回你给他的那城去吧！不可让他跟我们一起上阵；他可能在作战的时候转过来攻打我们。为什么牺牲我们自己人的生命，让他赢回他主人的信任呢？

†[Kjv]And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the batt

†[Nkjv]But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; so the princes of the Philistines said to him, "Make this fellow return, that he may go back to the place which you have appointed for him, and do not let him go down with us to battle, lest in the b

†[BBE]But the rulers of the Philistines were angry with him, and said to him, Make the man go back to the place you have given him; do not let him go down with us to the fight, or he may be turned against us and be false to us: for how will this man make peace

†[GNT] But the Philistine commanders were angry with Achish and said to him, "Send that fellow back to the town you gave him. Don't let him go into battle with us; he might turn against us during the fighting. What better way is there for him to win back his ma

†[NIV]But the Philistine commanders were angry with him and said, "Send the man back, that he may return to the place you assigned him. He must not go with us into battle, or he will turn against us during the fighting. How better could he regain his master's f

本会注释　　叫这些人回去。首领们在提到亚吉所结交的人时是有礼貌的，但所说的话表明他们对大卫在场极为不满。

撒上29:5 从前以色列的妇女跳舞唱和说：‘扫罗杀死千千，大卫杀死万万’，所说的不是这个大卫吗？” (串)撒上18:7;21:11

†[吕]从前以色列妇女们舞蹈唱和着说：‘扫罗击杀其千千，大卫击杀其万万，’不是指着大卫这人而说的么？”

†[思]人在舞蹈时歌咏说：“‘撒乌耳杀了一千，达味杀了一万’，不就是这达味吗？”

†[当代]以前妇女们所歌颂‘扫罗杀死千千，大卫杀死万万’的大卫，不就是这个家伙吗？”

†[新译]这人不就是大卫吗？从前以色列的妇女向他歌唱跳舞说：‘扫罗杀死千千，大卫杀死万万！’”

†[Wlb]昔有人舞蹈唱和曰、扫罗杀其千千、大卫杀其万万、非此大卫乎、

†[Xdv]他不就是大卫吗？不就是妇女跳舞时所唱：‘扫罗杀死千千；大卫杀死万万’的那个大卫吗？”

†[Kjv]Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

†[Nkjv]Is this not David, of whom they sang to one another in dances, saying: "Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands'?"

†[BBE]Is this not David, who was named in their songs, when in the dance they said to one another, Saul has put to death thousands, and David tens of thousands?

†[GNT] After all, this is David, the one about whom the women sang, as they danced, "Saul has killed thousands, but David has killed tens of thousands.' "

†[NIV]Isn't this the David they sang about in their dances: " 'Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands'?"

撒上29:6 亚吉叫大卫来，对他说：“我指着永生的耶和华起誓，你是正直人。你随我在军中出入，我看你甚好。自从你投奔我到如今，我未曾见你有什么过失；只是众首领不喜悦你。 (串)撒上20:3|撒下3:25王下19:27诗121:8赛37:28

†[吕]亚吉把大卫叫来，对他说：“我指着永活的永恒主来起誓：“你是正直人；你跟着我在军营中出入、我看得很满意；自从你来我这里、直到如今、我未曾见过你有什么坏处；只是众霸主却不喜欢你。

†[思]阿基士就将艮召来，向他说：“愿永生的天作证：你是可靠的人，你同我在军中出入，我很满意，因为自你投奔我那一天起，我在你身上并没有发现什么可指摘之事；但是长们不喜欢你。

†[当代]亚吉王说不过他们，就只好对大卫和他的部下说：“我指著永生的主起誓：你们实在是我平生所见最好的人，我也希望你们与我一同上阵；可惜我的将领都不赞成；

†[新译]亚吉把大卫叫来，对他说：“我指着永活的耶和华说，你是正直的人，你与我在军中出入，我感到很满意，因为自从你到我这里来的那一天，直到今日，我未曾在你身上找到什么过失；只是各首领不喜欢你。

†[Wlb]亚吉召大卫曰、我指维生之耶和华而誓、尔乃端正、偕我出入军中、我视为善、自尔来归、未尝见尔有恶、惟牧伯不爱尔、

†[Xdv]亚吉把大卫召来，对他说：“我指着以色列的永生上帝发誓：你对我一向忠心；我喜欢你跟我一起上阵打仗。从你投奔我到现在，我找不出你有什么不对，但是其它的酋长反对你。

†[Kjv]Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this d

†[Nkjv]Then Achish called David and said to him, "Surely, as the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight. For to this day I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me. Ne

†[BBE]Then Achish sent for David and said to him, By the living Lord, you are upright, and everything you have done with me in the army has been pleasing to me: I have seen no evil in you from the day when you came to me till now: but still, the lords are not p

†[GNT] Achish called David and said to him, "I swear by the living God of Israel that you have been loyal to me; and I would be pleased to have you go with me and fight in this battle. I have not found any fault in you from the day you came over to me. But the

†[NIV]So Achish called David and said to him, "As surely as the Lord lives, you have been reliable, and I would be pleased to have you serve with me in the army. From the day you came to me until now, I have found no fault in you, but the rulers don't approve o

本会注释　　我指着永生的耶和华起誓。这句话出自一个外邦君王的口是非同寻常的。有人认为亚吉因与大卫结交已被希伯来人的信仰吸引了，就象通过但以理和他的同伴们的影响，尼布甲尼撒被引导称赞“天上的王”一样（但4:37）。还有人认为这句誓言只是亚吉真实话语的适应性替代。不能否认大卫藉着自己的行为给亚吉留下了深刻的印象。这位君王曾三次要人注意大卫生活的正直（撒上29:3,6,9），其中有一次称他为“上帝的使者”（撒上29:9）。

撒上29:7 现在你可以平平安安的回去，免得非利士人的首领不欢喜你。”

†[吕]那么你现在尽管回去，安心地去，免得你所作的、非利士人的霸王不喜欢。”

†[思]现今你回去，平安去吧！免得培肋舍特人的茜长们厌恶”。

†[当代]所以，为了避免使他们不安，我只好请你们回去了。”

†[新译]现在，你可以回去，平平安安走吧！不要行非利士人的首领看为恶的事。”

†[Wlb]今当安然以归、勿使牧伯不悦、

†[Xdv]所以，你平安地回去吧，不要招惹他们生气。”

†[Kjv]Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines.

†[Nkjv]Therefore return now, and go in peace, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines."

†[BBE]So now go back, and go in peace, so that you do not make the lords of the Philistines angry.

†[GNT] So go back home in peace, and don't do anything that would displease them."

†[NIV]Turn back and go in peace; do nothing to displease the Philistine rulers."

撒上29:8 大卫对亚吉说：“我做了什么呢？自从仆人到你面前，直到今日，你查出我有什么过错，使我不去攻击主我王的仇敌呢？”

†[吕]大卫对亚吉说：“我作了什么呢？自从仆人在你面前以来、直到今日、你查出我有什么事情使我不去攻打我主我王的仇敌呢？”

†[思]达味回答阿基士说：“我作了什么不对？或是自我来服你那一天起，直到今日，你在你仆人人身上发现了什么不对，竟不肯让我同我大王的敌人交战？”

†[当代]大卫说：“我究竟做错了什么，陛下要这样对待我呢？为什么不让我替你们杀敌呢？”

†[新译]大卫对亚吉说：“我作了什么呢？自从我来到你面前的那一天，直到今日，你在仆人身上找到什么，使我不能与我主我王的仇敌争战呢？”

†[Wlb]大卫曰、我何所为、自我从尔、至于今日、尔视尔仆有何事故、不容往攻我主我王之敌、

†[Xdv]大卫回答：“我犯了什么过错吗？如果照你所说，从我来投奔你的那一天起，你找不出我有差错；那么，为什么不容许我跟你──我主我王去攻打敌人呢？”

†[Kjv]And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee unto this day, that I may not go fight against the enemies of my lord the king?

†[Nkjv]So David said to Achish, "But what have I done? And to this day what have you found in your servant as long as I have been with you, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"

†[BBE]And David said to Achish, But what have I done? what have you seen in your servant while I have been with you till this day, that I may not go and take up arms against those who are now making war on my lord the king?

†[GNT] David answered, "What have I done wrong, sir? If, as you say, you haven't found any fault in me since the day I started serving you, why shouldn't I go with you, my master and king, and fight your enemies?"

†[NIV]But what have I done?" asked David. "What have you found against your servant from the day I came to you until now? Why can't I go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"

本会注释　　我作了什么呢？大卫对解脱了他困境的意想不到的局势变化感到非常激动。但为了不暴露自己的情感，他向王提出了这个含糊其辞的问题，似乎表示他被这样无礼拒绝的受了亏待似的（见《先祖与先知》691页）。
　　在灰心气馁不知所措的时候，大卫的脚步左右为难，若没有外援就完全无法自拔。如果他在战争中抛弃亚吉转而攻击非利士人，就会证明非利士首领们的指控是事实。如果他与以色列作战，就会与耶和华的受膏者作战并帮助外国人征服他自己的国家（见《先祖与先知》690页）。耶和华是多么仁慈啊！祂利用非利士人的恶意与仇恨为大卫开了门路，无论战事如何转变都会使大卫免受耻辱。
　　大卫认识到要是他留在犹大会好得多了。要不是他心里最想忠于上帝在万事之上，耶和华就不能为他施行这次的救助。大卫的罪并不是有意任性偏离义路，而是由于信心的软弱和判断错误。他需要迅速作出决定，但他并不总是等候上帝的答复，或许相信上天会支持他的想法。他必是全心希望自己有不同的行为。现在，他正与一位信任他、待他如友、但是最终因为政治上的压力，不得不辞退他的亲切的东道主面对面。当大卫听到王充满信任与爱的答复时，他的心里必定激起对自己掩饰情感的羞耻，也再次因感恩而激动。尽管他有罪，上帝还是仁慈地打破了他所陷入的网罗！

撒上29:9 亚吉说：“我知道你在我眼前是好人，如同上帝的使者一般；只是非利士人的首领说：‘这人不可同我们出战。’ (串)撒下14:17,20;19:27亚12:8加4:14

†[吕]亚吉回答大卫说：“我知道你在我面前很好，如同神的使者一般；只是非利士人的统领却说：‘这人不可同我们上战场’；

†[思]阿基士回答达味说：“我知道你在我眼中，好像一位天主的使者，但培肋舍特的将领说：不许他同我们一起作！

†[当代]亚吉王说：“你在我眼中就像天使一般完美，只是，我的将领却害怕与你们一起出战；

†[新译]亚吉回答大卫，说：“我知道你在我眼中是个好人，像　神的使者一样；只是非利士人的领袖曾经说过：‘他不可与我们一同上战场。’

†[Wlb]亚吉曰、尔在我前为善、如上帝之使然、此我所知、但牧伯谓尔不可偕我往战、

†[Xdv]亚吉说：“我同意你的话。我知道你像上帝的天使一样忠心；但是其它的酋长不愿意你跟我们一同上阵。

†[Kjv]And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.

†[Nkjv]Then Achish answered and said to David, "I know that you are as good in my sight as an angel of God; nevertheless the princes of the Philistines have said, "He shall not go up with us to the battle.'

†[BBE]And Achish in answer said, It is true that in my eyes you are good, like an angel of God: but still, the rulers of the Philistines have said, He is not to go up with us to the fight.

†[GNT] "I agree," Achish replied. "I consider you as loyal as an angel of God. But the other kings have said that you can't go with us into battle.

†[NIV]Achish answered, "I know that you have been as pleasing in my eyes as an angel of God; nevertheless, the Philistine commanders have said, 'He must not go up with us into battle.'

撒上29:10 故此你和跟随你的人，就是你本主的仆人，要明日早晨起来，等到天亮回去吧！” (串)代上12:19

†[吕]故此你和你主上的仆人、就是同你一道来的、明日早晨要早早起来；去到我所分派你们去的地方，不要怀着恶意，因为你在我面前总是好的；不过你们早晨要早早起来，天亮了就走。”

†[思]明早起来，你同你一起来的你主人的仆人，都往我给你指定的地方去，心中不要抱怨，我是喜欢你的，所以明天，天一亮，你们就动身回去吧！”

†[当代]所以，明早天一亮，你们就起程回去好了。”

†[新译]所以明天早晨，你和跟你来的人，就是你主人的仆人都要清早起来。你们明天早晨都要早起，天一亮你们就要离开。”

†[Wlb]尔及尔主之仆、明晨夙兴、及旦而去、

†[Xdv]所以，大卫啊，所有你带领离开扫罗、投奔到我这里来的人，明天天亮就得动身。”

†[Kjv]Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy master's servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart.

†[Nkjv]Now therefore, rise early in the morning with your master's servants who have come with you. And as soon as you are up early in the morning and have light, depart."

†[BBE]So get up early in the morning, with the servants of your lord who are with you, and go to the place I have given you, and have no evil design in your heart, for you are good in my eyes; but when there is light enough in the morning, go away.

†[GNT] So then, David, tomorrow morning all of you who left Saul and came over to me will have to get up early and leave as soon as it's light."

†[NIV]Now get up early, along with your master's servants who have come with you, and leave in the morning as soon as it is light."

本会注释　　你本主的仆人。'adon在本节和第4节，第8节中都译为“主”。这是一个常见的希伯来词，用来称呼上级。不要与表示非利士首领（2,6,7节）和五城首领（撒上6:17；见@士3:3@的注释）的seren相混淆。另一个词sar一般译为“首领”，与撒上29:3,4,9中的seren是同义词，都是指统治者。在撒上29:4,10中，'adon似乎指扫罗，而在撒上29:8中，大卫把它用在亚吉身上。用这些词可能暗示亚吉不再认为大卫是他的附庸了，而是微妙地暗示大卫可以自由地离开非利士，如果他有这种愿望的话。
　　要明日早晨起来。这可能是用外交辞令告诉大卫，要是明早天亮发现他和跟从他的人还在营中的话，首领们就会杀死他们。无疑大卫对这种正式的开释感到极大的安慰。现在大卫和跟从他的人不必觉得自己未能报答亚吉庇护他们躲避扫罗的恩情了。大卫启程回家时，疑因这种神圣的保护和奇迹般的救助而赞美上帝。
　　本章的叙述说明了上帝拯救祂儿女的方式。祂设法说服人接受祂的道路，却给他们拒绝祂建议的自由。这不仅涉及侍奉上帝的主要决定，也涉及凡寻求在生活中遵行上帝各项原则的人蒙召要作出的所有大小决定。犯错误是不可避免的，但所导致的考验会变成显示判断错误的试验场。大卫选择在非利士避难是基于脱离扫罗的自我保护意识。他既按照自己的感觉采取行动，不久就发现利己主义的种子结出了伪装与谎言的果子。但大卫承认了自己的错误，并从内心寻求遵循上帝的计划。即使大卫发现自己的困境是他自己犯错的结果，这种态度还是使上帝能够制造给他带来救助的环境。

撒上29:11 于是大卫和跟随他的人早晨起来，回往非利士地去。非利士人也上耶斯列去了。

†[吕]于是大卫和跟随的人清早起来，要在一早就走、回非利士人之地；非利士人也上耶斯列去了。

†[思]于是达味和他的人清早就起身，回培肋舍特地方去了。培肋舍特人上了依次勒耳。

†[当代]最后，大卫只好回到非利士地去，而非利士军就向耶斯列进发。

†[新译]于是大卫和跟随他的人清早起来，一早就离开，回到非利士人的地去。非利士人也上耶斯列去了。

†[Wlb]翌日、大卫与从者夙兴、归非利士地、非利士人遂往耶斯列、

†[Xdv]于是，大卫跟他的部下第二天一早就动身，回非利士去。非利士人继续向耶斯列进军。

†[Kjv]So David and his men rose up early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

†[Nkjv]So David and his men rose early to depart in the morning, to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

†[BBE]So David and his men got up early in the morning to go back to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

†[GNT] So David and his men started out early the following morning to go back to Philistia, and the Philistines went on to Jezreel.

†[NIV]So David and his men got up early in the morning to go back to the land of the Philistines, and the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
