1 Chronicles 19
1 Some time later, Nahash king of the Ammonites died and was succeeded by his son.
И бысть по сих, умре Наас царь сынов Аммоних, и воцарися Амам сын его вместо его.
2 And David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to console Hanun concerning his father. But when David’s servants arrived in the land of the Ammonites to console him,
И рече Давид: сотворю милость со Ананом сыном Наасовым, якоже сотвори отец его милость со мною. И посла Давид послы на утешение ему о отце его. И приидоша отроцы Давидовы в землю сынов Аммоних ко Анану, да утешат его.
3 the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun, “Just because David has sent you comforters, do you really believe he is showing respect for your father? Have not his servants come to you to explore the land, spy it out, and overthrow it?”
И рекоша началницы сынов Аммоних ко Анану: еда прославляя Давид отца твоего пред тобою, посла к тебе утешители? Никако: но да испытают град и соглядают землю, приидоша к тебе отроцы его.
4 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved their beards, cut off their garments at the hips, and sent them away.
И взя Анан рабов Давидовых, и обри их, и отреза от риз их половину даже до чресл, и отпусти их.
5 When someone came and told David about his men, he sent messengers to meet them, since the men had been thoroughly humiliated. The king told them, “Stay in Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”
И приидоша возвестити Давиду о мужех: и посла во сретение им, яко быша обезчещени зело. И рече царь: седите во Иерихоне, дондеже возрастут брады вашя, и возвратитеся.
6 When the Ammonites realized that they had become a stench to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Aram-naharaim, Aram-maacah, and Zobah.
И видеша сынове Аммони, яко посрамлени быша людие Давидовы, и посла Анан и сынове Аммони тысящу талант сребра, да наймут себе от Сирии Месопотамски, и от Сирии Мааха, и от Сувы колесницы и конники:
7 So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, as well as the king of Maacah with his troops, who came and camped near Medeba while the Ammonites came from their cities and marched out for battle.
и наяша себе тридесять две тысящы колесниц и царя Мааха и людий его: и приидоша и ополчишася прямо Мидаве: и сынове Аммони собрашася от градов своих и приидоша на брань.
8 On hearing this, David sent Joab and the entire army of mighty men.
И услыша Давид, и посла Иоава и все воинство сильных.
9 The Ammonites marched out and arrayed themselves for battle at the entrance to the city, while the kings who had come stayed by themselves in the open country.
И изыдоша сынове Аммони и ополчишася на брань при вратех градских: царие же пришедшии ополчишася особно на поли.
10 When Joab saw the battle lines before him and behind him, he selected some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Arameans.
И виде Иоав, яко бысть на него противное лице брани сопреди и созади, и избра от всех юнош Израилевых и устрои их противу Сира,
11 And he placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites.
и останок людий даде в руце брату своему Авессе, и ополчишася противу сынов Аммоних.
12 “If the Arameans are too strong for me,” said Joab, “then you will come to my rescue. And if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to your rescue.
И рече: аще укрепится Сир паче мене, то будеши мне во спасение: аще же сынове Аммони укрепятся паче тебе, то аз спасу тя:
13 Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do what is good in His sight.”
мужайся, и укрепимся о людех наших и о градех Бога нашего, и Господь, еже благо пред очима его, сотворит.
14 So Joab and his troops advanced to fight the Arameans, who fled before him.
И ополчися Иоав и вси людие, иже с ним, противу Сирян на брань, и побегоша от них.
15 When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they too fled before Joab’s brother Abishai, and they entered the city. So Joab went back to Jerusalem.
Сынове же Аммони видеша, яко побегоша Сиряне, и побегоша и они от лица Авессы и от лица Иоава брата его, и внидоша во град: Иоав же возвратися во Иерусалим.
16 When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers to bring more Arameans from beyond the Euphrates, with Shophach the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
И виде Сир, яко победи его Израиль, и посла послы: и изведоша Сира, иже бе за рекою, Софак же первоначалник тысящником силы Адраазаровы пред ними.
17 When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, advanced toward the Arameans, and arrayed for battle against them. When David lined up to engage them in battle, they fought against him.
И возвещено бысть Давиду, и собра весь Израиль, и прейде Иордан, и прииде на них, и ополчися противу их: и ополчися Давид противу Сира на брань и воева нань.
18 But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed seven thousand of their charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also killed Shophach the commander of their army.
И убеже Сир от лица Израилева, и уби Давид от Сира седмь тысящ колесниц и четыредесять тысящ пешцев, и Софака первоначалника силы уби.
19 When Hadadezer’s subjects saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to him. So the Arameans were unwilling to help the Ammonites anymore.
И видеша раби Адраазаровы, яко падоша от лица Израилева, и прибегоша к Давиду, и служаху ему: и не восхоте Сир помогати сыном Аммоним ктому.
