< Kings II 2 >

1 And it came to pass after this that David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Juda? and the Lord said to him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? and he said, To Chebron.
И бысть по сих, и вопроси Давид Господа, глаголя: вниду ли в един от градов Иудиных? И рече Господь к нему: и вниди. И рече Давид: камо вниду? И рече: в Хеврон.
2 And David went up there to Chebron, [he] and both his wives, Achinaam the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite,
И иде тамо Давид в Хеврон, и обе жены его, Ахинаам Иезраилитыня и Авигеа (бывшая) жена Навала Кармилскаго,
3 and the men that were with him, every one and his family; and they lived in the cities of Chebron.
и мужие иже с ним кийждо, и домове их, и начаша жити во градех Хевронских.
4 And the men of Judea come, and anoint David there to reign over the house of Juda; and they reported to David, saying, The men of Jabis of the country of Galaad have buried Saul.
И приидоша мужие от Иудеи и помазаша тамо Давида, да царствует над домом Иудиным. И возвестиша Давиду, глаголюще: яко мужие Иависа Галаадититскаго погребоша Саула.
5 And David sent messengers to the rulers of Jabis of the country of Galaad, and David said to them, Blessed be you of the Lord, because you have wrought this mercy towards your lord, even towards Saul the anointed of the Lord, and you have buried him and Jonathan his son.
И посла Давид послы к старейшинам Иависа Галаадититскаго и рече к ним Давид: благословени вы Господу, яко сотвористе милость сию над господином вашим Саулом, христом Господним, и погребосте его и Ионафана сына его:
6 And now may the Lord deal in mercy and truth towards you: and I also will requite towards you this good deed, because you have done this.
и ныне да сотворит Господь с вами милость и истину: и аз сотворю с вами сие благое, понеже сотвористе глагол сей:
7 And now let your hands be made strong, and be valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and moreover the house of Juda have anointed me to be king over them.
и ныне да укрепятся руки вашя, и да будете сынове сильнии, яко умре господин ваш Саул, мене же помаза дом Иудин, да царствую над ними.
8 But Abenner, the son of Ner, the commander-in-chief of Saul's army, took Jebosthe son of Saul, and brought him up from the camp to Manaem
И Авенир сын Ниров, началный воевода Саулов, взя Иевосфеа сына Сауля, и изведе его из полка в Манаем,
9 and made him king over the land of Galaad, and over Thasiri, and over Jezrael, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
и воцари его над Галаадитиею и над Фасириею и над Иезраилем и над Ефремом и над Вениамином и над всем Израилем.
10 Jebosthe, Saul's son [was] forty years old, when he reigned over Israel; and he reigned two years, but not over the house of Juda, who followed David.
Четыредесять лет Иевосфею бе сыну Саулову, егда нача царствовати над Израилем, и два лета царствова, кроме дому Иудина, иже бысть за Давидом.
11 And the days which David reigned in Chebron over the house of Juda were seven years and six months.
И быша дние, в няже Давид царствова в Хевроне над домом Иудиным, седмь лет и шесть месяц.
12 And Abenner the son of Ner went forth, and the servants of Jebosthe the son of Saul, from Manaem to Gabaon.
И изыде Авенир сын Ниров и отроцы Иевосфеа сына Сауля из Манаема в Гаваон.
13 And Joab the son of Saruia, and the servants of David, went forth from Chebron, and met them at the fountain of Gabaon, at the same place: and these sat down by the fountain on this side, and those by the fountain on that side.
И Иоав сын Саруиев и отроцы Давидовы изыдоша от Хеврона и сретошася с ними у потока Гаваоня купно, и седоша сии над потоком отсюду, и тии оттуду.
14 And Abenner said to Joab, Let now the young men arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
И рече Авенир ко Иоаву: да востанут ныне отроцы и да поиграют пред нами. И рече Иоав: да востанут.
15 And there arose and passed over by number twelve of the children of Benjamin, belonging to Jebosthe the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
И восташа и преидоша от отрок Вениаминовых, числом дванадесять Иевосфеа сына Сауля, и от отрок Давидовых дванадесять:
16 And they seized every one the head of his neighbour with his hand, and his sword [was thrust] into the side of his neighbour, and they fall down together: and the name of that place was called The portion of the treacherous ones, which is in Gabaon.
и взя кийждо рукою за главу искренняго своего, и мечь его в ребра искренняго его, и падоша вкупе: и наречеся имя месту тому Часть Наветников, яже есть в Гаваоне.
17 And the battle was very severe on that day; and Abenner and the men of Israel were worsted before the servants of David.
И бысть брань жестока зело в той день: и паде Авенир и мужие Израилстии пред отроки Давидовы.
18 And there were there the three sons of Saruia, Joab, and Abessa, and Asael: and Asael was swift in his feet as a roe in the field.
И быша тамо три сынове Саруиевы, Иоав и Авесса и Асаил: Асаил же бе легок ногама своима, яко едина серна от сущих на селе.
19 And Asael followed after Abenner, and turned not to go to the right hand or to the left from following Abenner.
И погна Асаил вслед Авенира, и не уклонися ни на десно ни на лево, но вслед Авенира:
20 And Abenner looked behind him, and said, Are you Asael himself? and he said, I am.
и озреся Авенир назад себе и рече: ты ли еси сам, Асаиле? И рече: аз есмь.
21 And Abenner said to him, Turn you to the right hand or to the left, and lay hold for yourself on one of the young men, and take to yourself his armour: but Asel would not turn back from following him.
И рече ему Авенир: уклонися ты на десно или на шуее, и возми себе единаго от отрок, и возми себе все оружие его. И не восхоте Асаил уклонитися от него.
22 And Abenner said yet again to Asael, Stand aloof from me, lest I strike you to the ground? and how should I lift up my face to Joab?
И приложи еще Авенир глаголати ко Асаилу: отступи от мене, да не поражу тя о землю: и како явлю лице мое ко Иоаву?
23 And what does this mean? return to Joab your brother? But he would not stand aloof; and Abenner smites him with the hinder end of the spear on the loins, and the spear went out behind him, and he falls there and dies on the spot: and it came to pass that every one that came to the place where Asael fell and died, stood still.
И где суть сия? Возвратися ко Иоаву брату твоему. И не хотяше отступити. И удари его Авенир копием созади в лядвия: и пройде копие сквозе его, и паде тамо и умре пред ним: и бысть всяк приходяй до места, идеже паде Асаил и умре, и остановляшеся.
24 And Joab and Abessa pursued after Abenner, and the sun went down: and they went as far as the hill of Amman, which is in the front of Gai, by the desert way of Gabaon.
И погнаша Иоав и Авесса вслед Авенира, и солнце заходяше: и тии приидоша даже до холма Амма, иже есть пред лицем Гаи, путь пустыни Гаваони.
25 And the children of Benjamin who followed Abenner gather themselves together, and they formed themselves into one body, and stood on the top of a hill.
И собрашася сынове Вениаминовы за Авениром и быша в снитии единем, и сташа на версе холма единаго.
26 And Abenner called Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour perpetually? know you not that it will be bitter at last? How long then will you refuse to tell the people to turn from following our brethren?
И воззва Авенир ко Иоаву и рече: еда в победу пояст мечь? Или не веси, яко горька будут последняя? И доколе не речеши людем возвратитися созади братий наших?
27 And Joab said, As the Lord lives, if you had not spoken, even from the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
И рече Иоав: жив Господь, яко, аще бы не рекл еси, тогда от утра бы людие мои престали гоняще кийждо вслед брата своего.
28 And Joab sounded the trumpet, and all the people departed, and did not pursue after Israel, and did not fight any longer.
И воструби Иоав трубою, и сташа вси людие, и не погнаша вслед Израилтян, и не приложиша ктому ратовати.
29 And Abenner and his men departed at evening, [and went] all that night, and crossed over Jordan, and went along the whole adjacent [country], and they come to the camp.
Авенир же и мужие его идоша на запад всю нощь ону, и преидоша Иордан, и проидоша всю страну ту, и приидоша в Полк.
30 And Joab returned from following Abenner, and he assembled all the people, and there were missing of the people of David, nineteen men, and Asael.
И Иоав возвратися вспять от Авенира, и собра вся люди, и исчислиша отрок Давидовых (падших) девятьнадесять мужей, и Асаила.
31 And the servants of David struck of the children of Benjamin, of the men of Abenner, three hundred and sixty men belonging to him.
Отроцы же Давидовы убиша сынов Вениаминих мужей Авенировых триста и шестьдесят мужей.
32 And they take up Asael, and bury him in the tomb of his father in Bethleem. And Joab and the men with him went all the night, and the morning rose upon them in Chebron.
И взяша Асаила, и погребоша его во гробе отца его в Вифлееме. И иде Иоав и мужие его с ним всю нощь, и осветоша в Хевроне.
