| Middle English | 1395 | Wyclif | And Dauid seith in his herte, Sumtyme on a day I shal falle in the hoond of Saul; whether is it not beter, that I flee, and be sauid in the lond of Philisteis, that Saul dispeire, and ceese to seche me in alle the coostis of Yrael; thanne flee we the hoondis of hym. |
| Jacobean English | 1611 | King James | And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand. |

| Bulgarian | Тогава "авид каза в сърцето си: Най-сетне ще загина един ден от Сауловата ръка: няма по-добро за мене отколкото да избягам по-скоро във филистимската земя; тогава Саул ще се отчая и няма вече да ме търси по всичките предели на Израиля; така ще се отърва от ръката му. |
| Cebuano | ¶ Ug si David miingon diha sa iyang kasingkasing: Ako karon mahanaw sa usa lamang ka adlaw pinaagi sa kamot ni Saul: kay wala nay maayo pa alang kanako kay sa mokalagiw ako ngadto sa yuta sa mga Filistehanon; ug si Saul mawad-an ra sa paglaum, sa pagpangita pa kanako sa tanang mga utlanan sa Israel: mao nga ako mogawas gikan sa iyang kamot. |

| Croatian | David reèe u sebi: "Ipak æu jednoga dana poginuti od aulove ruke. Zato nema ništa bolje za me nego da se spasim u zemlju Filistejaca. Tada æe aul odustati da me dalje traži po svim krajevima Izraelovim i izbavit æu se iz njegove ruke." |
| Danish | Men David sagde til sig selv: "Jeg falder dog en skønne Dag for Sauls Hånd. Jeg har ingen anden udvej end at søge Tilflugt i Filisternes Land; så opgiver Saul at søge efter mig nogetsteds i Israels Land, og jeg er uden for hans Rækkevidde!" |
| Dutch | David nu zeide in zijn hart: Nu zal ik een der dagen door Sauls hand omkomen; mij is niet beter, dan dat ik haastelijk ontkome in het land der Filistijnen, opdat Saul van mij de hoop verlieze, om mij meer te zoeken in de ganse landpale van Israel; zo zal ik ontkomen uit zijn hand. |
| Finnish | Mutta Daavid ajatteli mielessään: "Kerran Saulin käsi kuitenkin tuhoaa minut. Minulla ei ole muuta neuvoa kuin pelastautua filistealaisten maahan. Silloin Saul huomaa turhaksi enää etsiä minua kaikkialta Israelin alueelta, ja niin minä pelastun hänen käsistänsä." |
| French | David dit en lui-même: je périrai un jour par la main de Saül; il n`y a rien de mieux pour moi que de me réfugier au pays des Philistins, afin que Saül renonce me chercher encore dans tout le territoire d`Israël; ainsi j`échapperai sa main. |
| German | David aber gedachte in seinem Herzen: Ich werde der Tage einen Saul in die Hände fallen; es ist mir nichts besser, denn daß ich entrinne in der Philister Land, daß Saul von mir ablasse, mich fürder zu suchen im ganzen Gebiet Israels; so werde ich seinen Händen entrinnen. |

| Indonesian-Bahasa Sehari-hari | Daud berpikir dalam hatinya, "Bagaimanapun juga pada suatu hari Saul akan membunuhku. Jadi, tak ada jalan lain lagi bagiku, kecuali melarikan diri ke negeri Filistin. Dengan demikian Saul tidak akan mencariku lagi di Israel, dan aku pun akan aman." |
| Indonesian-Terjemahan Lama | Hata, maka kemudian dari pada itu kata Daud dalam hatinya: Sungguh pada salah suatu hari kiranya aku dibinasakan oleh tangan Saul juga, tiada yang lebih baik bagiku, melainkan aku coba berlepas diriku ke negeri orang Filistin, niscaya putuslah harap Saul kelak akan daku dari pada mencahari aku lagi dalam segala jajahan tanah Israel, maka demikian bolehlah aku luput dari pada tangannya. |
| Italian | Davide pensò: «Certo un giorno o l'altro perirò per mano di Saul. Non ho miglior via d'uscita che cercare scampo nel paese dei Filistei; Saul rinunzier a ricercarmi in tutto il territorio d'Israele e sfuggirò dalle sue mani». |
