Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 И҆ воста̀ даві́дъ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ и҆ сѣ́де во ᲂу҆зи́нахъ є҆нгадді̀.
1 When Saul had returned from following the Philistines, he was told, “Behold, David is in the wilderness of En Gedi.”
2 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ возврати́сѧ саꙋ́лъ вспѧ́ть ѿ и҆ноплемє́нникъ, и҆ возвѣсти́ша є҆мꙋ̀, глаго́люще: сѐ, даві́дъ въ пꙋсты́ни є҆нга́дстѣй.
2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild goats.
3 И҆ взѧ̀ саꙋ́лъ съ собо́ю трѝ ты́сѧщы мꙋже́й и҆збра́нныхъ ѿ всегѡ̀ і҆и҃лѧ и҆ и҆́де и҆ска́ти даві́да и҆ мꙋже́й є҆гѡ̀ прѧ́мѡ лицꙋ̀ садде́емъ:
3 He came to the sheep pens by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were staying in the innermost parts of the cave.
4 и҆ прїи́де до ста́дъ пасо́мыхъ на пꙋтѝ, и҆ бѣ̀ та́мѡ верте́пъ: и҆ саꙋ́лъ вни́де и҆спраздни́тисѧ, даві́дъ же и҆ мꙋ́жїе є҆гѡ̀ во внꙋ́треннихъ верте́па сѣдѧ́хꙋ.
4 David’s men said to him, “Behold, the day of which Yahweh said to you, ‘Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.’” Then David arose and cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe secretly.
5 И҆ рѣ́ша мꙋ́жїе даві́дѡвы къ немꙋ̀: сѐ, де́нь се́й, ѡ҆ не́мже речѐ гдⷭ҇ь тебѣ̀ преда́ти врага̀ твоего̀ въ рꙋ́цѣ твоѝ, и҆ сотвори́ши є҆мꙋ̀ ꙗ҆́коже ᲂу҆го́дно пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма твои́ма. И҆ воста̀ даві́дъ, и҆ ѿрѣ́за воскри́лїе ѻ҆де́жды саꙋ́ли ѡ҆́тай.
5 Afterward, David’s heart struck him because he had cut off Saul’s skirt.
6 И҆ бы́сть по си́хъ, и҆ вострепета̀ даві́дꙋ се́рдце є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿрѣ́за воскри́лїе ѻ҆де́жды саꙋ́ли:
6 He said to his men, “Yahweh forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, Yahweh’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, since he is Yahweh’s anointed.”
7 и҆ речѐ даві́дъ къ мꙋжє́мъ свои̑мъ: ника́коже мѝ ѿ гдⷭ҇а, а҆́ще сотворю̀ глаго́лъ се́й господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀ хрїстꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ню, є҆́же нанестѝ рꙋ́кꙋ мою̀ на́нь, ꙗ҆́кѡ хрїсто́съ гдⷭ҇ень є҆́сть се́й.
7 So David checked his men with these words, and didn’t allow them to rise against Saul. Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
8 И҆ ᲂу҆вѣща̀ даві́дъ мꙋ́жы своѧ̑ словесы̀ и҆ не дадѐ и҆̀мъ воста́вшымъ ᲂу҆би́ти саꙋ́ла. И҆ воста̀ саꙋ́лъ, и҆ сни́де на пꙋ́ть.
8 David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave and cried after Saul, saying, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and showed respect.
9 И҆ и҆зы́де даві́дъ в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆з̾ верте́па: и҆ возопѝ даві́дъ в̾слѣ́дъ саꙋ́ла, глаго́лѧ: господи́не царю̀. И҆ ѡ҆зрѣ́сѧ саꙋ́лъ в̾слѣ́дъ себє̀, и҆ преклони́сѧ даві́дъ лице́мъ свои́мъ до землѝ, и҆ поклони́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀.
9 David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to men’s words, saying, ‘Behold, David seeks to harm you’?
10 И҆ речѐ даві́дъ къ саꙋ́лꙋ: почто̀ слꙋ́шаеши слове́съ люді́й глаго́лющихъ: сѐ, даві́дъ и҆́щетъ дꙋшѝ твоеѧ̀;
10 Behold, today your eyes have seen how Yahweh had delivered you today into my hand in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you. I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is Yahweh’s anointed.’
11 сѐ, дне́сь ви́дѣста ѻ҆́чи твоѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ предаде́ тѧ гдⷭ҇ь дне́сь въ рꙋ́цѣ моѝ въ верте́пѣ, и҆ не восхотѣ́хъ ᲂу҆би́ти тебѐ, и҆ пощадѣ́хъ тѧ̀, и҆ рѣ́хъ: не нанесꙋ̀ рꙋкѝ моеѧ̀ на го́спода моего̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ пома́занникъ гдⷭ҇ень се́й є҆́сть:
11 Moreover, my father, behold, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe and didn’t kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it.
12 и҆ сѐ, воскри́лїе ѻ҆де́жды твоеѧ̀ въ рꙋцѣ̀ мое́й, а҆́зъ ѿѧ́хъ воскри́лїе ѻ҆де́жды твоеѧ̀, и҆ не ᲂу҆би́хъ тебѐ: и҆ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́й, и҆ ви́ждь дне́сь, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть ѕло́бы въ рꙋцѣ̀ мое́й, нижѐ нече́стїѧ и҆ презо́рства, нижѐ согрѣши́хъ къ тебѣ̀, а҆ ты̀ и҆́щеши дꙋшѝ моеѧ̀ и҆з̾ѧ́ти ю҆̀:
12 May Yahweh judge between me and you, and may Yahweh avenge me of you; but my hand will not be on you.
13 да сꙋ́дитъ гдⷭ҇ь междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ тобо́ю, и҆ да защи́титъ мѧ̀ гдⷭ҇ь ѿ тебє̀: рꙋка́ же моѧ̀ не бꙋ́детъ на тѧ̀,
13 As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Out of the wicked comes wickedness;’ but my hand will not be on you.
14 ꙗ҆́коже глаго́летсѧ при́тча дре́внѧѧ: ѿ беззакѡ́нникъ и҆зы́детъ престꙋпле́нїе: рꙋка́ же моѧ̀ не бꙋ́детъ на тѧ̀:
14 Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? A dead dog? A flea?
15 и҆ нн҃ѣ ты̀, царю̀ і҆и҃левъ, в̾слѣ́дъ когѡ̀ и҆схо́диши; кого̀ ты̀ го́ниши; в̾слѣ́дъ ли пса̀ ᲂу҆ме́рша и҆ в̾слѣ́дъ блохѝ є҆ди́ныѧ;
15 May Yahweh therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and you, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand.”
16 да бꙋ́детъ гдⷭ҇ь сꙋдїѧ̀ и҆ ѿмсти́тель междꙋ̀ мно́ю и҆ тобо́ю, да ви́дитъ гдⷭ҇ь и҆ сꙋ́дитъ сꙋ́дъ мо́й, и҆ ѡ҆сꙋ́дитъ мѧ̀ ѿ рꙋкѝ твоеѧ̀.
16 It came to pass, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, “Is that your voice, my son David?” Saul lifted up his voice and wept.
17 И҆ бы́сть, є҆гда̀ сконча̀ даві́дъ глаго́лы сїѧ̑, глаго́лѧ къ саꙋ́лꙋ, и҆ речѐ саꙋ́лъ: тво́й ли гла́съ се́й, ча́до даві́де; И҆ воздви́же саꙋ́лъ гла́съ сво́й и҆ воспла́касѧ.
17 He said to David, “You are more righteous than I; for you have done good to me, whereas I have done evil to you.
18 И҆ речѐ саꙋ́лъ къ даві́дꙋ: пра́веденъ є҆сѝ ты̀ па́че менє̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ возда́лъ мѝ є҆сѝ блага̑ѧ, а҆́зъ же тебѣ̀ возда́хъ ѕла̑ѧ:
18 You have declared today how you have dealt well with me, because when Yahweh had delivered me up into your hand, you didn’t kill me.
19 и҆ ты̀ возвѣсти́лъ мѝ є҆сѝ дне́сь, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́лъ мѝ блага̑ѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ заключи́ мѧ гдⷭ҇ь въ рꙋ́ки твоѧ̑ дне́сь, и҆ не ᲂу҆би́лъ мѧ̀ є҆сѝ:
19 For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away unharmed? Therefore may Yahweh reward you good for that which you have done to me today.
20 и҆ ꙗ҆́коже а҆́ще кто̀ ѡ҆брѣ́лъ бы врага̀ своего̀ въ печа́ли, и҆ ѿпꙋсти́лъ бы є҆го̀ въ пꙋ́ть бла́гъ, и҆ гдⷭ҇ь возда́стъ є҆мꙋ̀ блага̑ѧ, ꙗ҆́коже ты̀ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ дне́сь:
20 Now, behold, I know that you will surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand.
21 и҆ нн҃ѣ сѐ, а҆́зъ вѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ царю́ѧ ца́рствовати и҆́маши, и҆ ста́ти и҆́мать въ рꙋцѣ̀ твое́й ца́рство і҆и҃лево:
21 Swear now therefore to me by Yahweh that you will not cut off my offspring after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father’s house.”
22 и҆ нн҃ѣ клени́сѧ мѝ гдⷭ҇емъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆скорени́ши сѣ́мене моегѡ̀ по мнѣ̀ и҆ не погꙋби́ши и҆́мене моегѡ̀ ѿ до́мꙋ ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀.
22 David swore to Saul. Saul went home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
23 И҆ клѧ́тсѧ даві́дъ саꙋ́лꙋ. И҆ ѿи́де саꙋ́лъ на мѣ́сто своѐ, даві́дъ же и҆ мꙋ́жїе є҆гѡ̀ взыдо́ша въ мессе́рꙋ тѣ́снꙋю.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
For thus it is written: "And David's heart smote him because he had taken away the skirt of his cloak." But to the men with him, who advised him to destroy Saul thus delivered up into his hands, he saith, "The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the Lord's christ, to lay my hand upon …

… shown: but Saul not even after their betrayal could seize David; but rather in a certain cave in that very country, when into his hands Saul had been given to slay, David spared him, and that which he had in his power he did not. But the other was seeking to do that which he had not in his power.
