paalishtaiyon ne apanee samast sena ko apek men ikattha kiya aur israaelee yijrael ke nikatt ke sote ke pas dere dale huae the.
2 tab paalishtaiyon ke saradar apane apane saaikadon aur hajaron samet age baddh gaa, aur sena ke peechhe peechhe akeesh ke sath daud bhee apane janon samet baddh gaya.
3 tab paalishtee hakimon ne poochha, in iabiryon ka yahan kya kam haai? akeesh ne paalishtee saradaron se kaha, kya vah israael ke raja shaaul ka karmacharee daud naheen haai, jo kya jane kitane dinon se varan vashare se mere sath rahata haai, aur jab se vah bhag aya, tab se aj tak maaine us men koi dosh naheen paya.
4 tab paalishtee hakim us se krodhait hue aur us se kaha, us puroosh ko lautta de, ki vah us sthan par jaae jo too ne usake liye ttharaya haai vah hamare sang ladai men n ane paaega, kaheen aeesa n ho ki vah ladai men hamara viradhaee ban jaae. fir vah apane svamee se kis reeti se mel kare? kya logon ke sir kattvakar n karega?
5 kya yah vahee daud naheen haai, jisake vishay men log nachate aur gate huae aek doosare se kahate the, ki shaaul ne hajaron ko, par daud ne lakhon ko mara haai?
6 tab akeesh ne daud ko bulakar us se kaha, yahova ke jeevan kee shapath too to seedha haai, aur sena men tera mere sang ana jana bhee mujhe bhavata haai kyonaki jab se too mere pas aya tab se lekar aj tak maain ne to tujh men koi burai naheen pai. taubhee saradar log tujhe naheen chahate.
7 isaliye ab too kushal se lautt ja aeesa n ho ki palishtee saradar tujh se aprasann hon.
8 daud ne akeesh se kaha, maain ne kya kiya haai? aur jab se maain tere samhane aya tab se aj tak too ne apane das men kya paya haai ki apane prabhu raja ke shatrauon se ladne n paun?
9 akeesh ne daud ko uttr dekar kaha, ha, yah mujhe maloom haai, too meree draashtti men to parameshvar ke doot ke saman achchha lagata haai taubhee palishtee hakimon ne kaha haai, ki vah hamare sang ladai men ne jane paaega.
10 isaliye ab too apane prabhu ke sevakon ko lekar jo tere sath aae haain bihan ko tadke uttna aur tum bihan ko ladke uttkar ujiyala hote hee chale jana.
11 isaliye bihan ko daud apane janon samet tadke uttkar paalishtaiyon ke desh ko lau gaya. aur paalishtee yijrael ko chaddh gaae..
