The later Gutsort, initially known as Weißenysche or Weißenitze , was founded in 1385. In 1450, Weißenysche was awarded to David Weißenitz by the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, Konrad von Erlichshausen , and in 1700 the group service in the Vorwerk Davidshof was called, but was canceled in 1789.

In 1874 was Gutsbezirk Davidshof in the newly built office district Nareythen ( Polish Narajty ) in the East Prussian district Szczytno incorporated in 1881, however, in the District Corp Ellen (1928-1945 Korpellen , Polish Korpele ) reclassified to be then in 1884 assigned to the District Nareythen again . In 1910 Davidshof had 113 inhabitants.

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Davidshof belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Davidshof, 77 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, while Poland did not vote.

On September 30, 1928, the Davidshof estate gave up its independence and merged with the neighboring village of Ulonskofen to form the new rural community Ulonskofen (1938 to 1945 Schobendorf , Polish Piece ).

When all of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Davidshof was also affected. The place received the Polish name form "Jęcznik" and is today with the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) a place in the network of the rural community Szczytno (Ortelsburg) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia Voivodeship Masuria belonging. In 2011 Jęcznik had 195 inhabitants.
