王謂祭司亞比亞他曰、歸亞拿突、返爾田畝、爾原當死、惟爾在我父大衛前、舁主耶和華之匱、又與我父共苦、此時我不殺爾、

To Abiathar the priest the king said,“ Go back to your fields in Anathoth. You deserve to die, but I will not put you to death now, because you carried the ark of the Sovereign Lord before my father David and shared all my father’s hardships.”

The king spoke to Abiathar the priest. He said,“ Go back to your fields in Anathoth. You should really be put to death. But I won’t have it done now. That’s because you carried the ark of the Lord and King. You did it for my father David. You shared all of his hard times.”

And to Abiathar the priest the king said,“ Go to Anathoth, to your estate, for you deserve death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you carried the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and because you shared in all my father’s affliction.”

Then the king said to Abiathar the priest,“ Go back to your home in Anathoth. You deserve to die, but I will not kill you now, because you carried the Ark of the Sovereign Lord for David my father and you shared all his hardships.”

The king said to the priest Abiathar,“ Go to your fields in Anathoth. Even though you deserve to die, I will not put you to death today, since you carried the ark of the Lord GOD in the presence of my father David and you suffered through all that my father suffered.”

Then to Abiathar the priest the king said,“ Go to Anathoth to your own field, for you deserve to die; but I will not put you to death at this time, because you carried the ark of the Lord God before my father David, and because you were afflicted in everything with which my father was afflicted.”

And to Abiathar the priest the king said,“ Go to Anathoth, to your own fields, for you are deserving of death; but I will not put you to death at this time, because you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and because you were afflicted every time my father was afflicted.”

And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

The king said to Abiathar the priest,“ Go to your fields in Anathoth. Even though you deserve to die, I will not put you to death today, since you carried the ark of the Lord God in the presence of my father David and you suffered through all that my father suffered.”

And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou[ art] worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

The king then told Abiathar the priest,“ Go back to your property in Anathoth. You deserve to die, but today I will not kill you because you did carry the ark of the sovereign LORD before my father David and you suffered with my father through all his difficult times.”

To Abiathar the priest the king said,“ Go to Anathoth, to your own fields; for you are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the Lord Yahweh’s ark before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all in which my father was afflicted.”

亚拿突、亚勒们四座城及其草场。

只有亚希米勒的一个儿子亚比亚他逃出去，投奔了大卫。亚比亚他把扫罗屠杀耶和华祭司的事告诉了大卫，大卫说：“那天我见以东人多益在那里，就知道他一定会告诉扫罗。是我连累了你父亲一家。你就放心留在我这里，不要害怕，谁想杀你，就是想杀我。你在我这里很安全。”

人若接待我门徒中最卑微的人，并因为他是我的门徒而给他一杯凉水喝，我实在告诉你们，那人必得到赏赐。”

希勒迦的儿子耶利米是便雅悯境内亚拿突城的一位祭司，以下是他的话。

祭司撒督、亚比亚他和抬上帝约柜的利未人都来了，他们把约柜放下，让城里出来的人先走过去。王对撒督说：“你把上帝的约柜运回城去吧。倘若耶和华恩待我，祂必使我重返家园，重见约柜和会幕；但如果我使祂不悦，我也甘愿听凭祂的处置。你是个有先见之明的人，安心带着你的儿子亚希玛斯和亚比亚他的儿子约拿单回城吧。我会在旷野渡口那里等你们的消息。”于是，撒督和亚比亚他便把上帝的约柜抬回耶路撒冷，留了下来。

你失职了。我凭永活的耶和华起誓，你们都该死。因为你们没有保护你们的主——耶和华所膏立的王。你看看王身边的矛和水瓶在哪里？”

迦琳人啊，高声喊叫吧！莱煞人啊，可怜的亚拿突人啊，留心听吧！

大卫召来撒督和亚比亚他两位祭司以及利未人乌列、亚帅雅、约珥、示玛雅、以列、亚米拿达，对他们说：“你们是利未人的族长，你们和你们的族人都要洁净自己，好将以色列的上帝耶和华的约柜抬到我所预备的地方。

亚多尼雅与洗鲁雅的儿子约押及祭司亚比亚他商议，二人都答应支持他。

“在我患难之时，你们一直在我身边，

他今天宰了许多牛羊和肥犊献祭，宴请众王子、将领和亚比亚他祭司，他们正在他那里一边吃喝一边说，‘亚多尼雅王万岁！’

你们受了许多苦，难道都是徒然的吗？都白受了吗？

大卫听后非常愤怒，对拿单说：“我凭永活的耶和华起誓，这人实在该死！

亚希米勒的儿子祭司亚比亚他到基伊拉投奔大卫时，把以弗得也带了去。扫罗得知大卫在基伊拉，就说：“这一次是上帝把他交在我手中了，因为他竟然自投网罗，进入有门有闩的城。”扫罗召集全军准备攻打基伊拉，围困大卫和他的部下。大卫知道了扫罗的计谋，便吩咐祭司亚比亚他把以弗得带来，

王委派耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅替代约押为元帅，命撒督祭司代替亚比亚他。
