2 Samuel 2
1 And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said to him, Go up. And David said, Where shall I go up? And he said, To Hebron.
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 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal’s wife the Carmelite.
И иде тамо Давид в Хеврон, и обе жены его, Ахинаам Иезраилитыня и Авигеа (бывшая) жена Навала Кармилскаго,
3 And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelled in the cities of Hebron.
и мужие иже с ним кийждо, и домове их, и начаша жити во градех Хевронских.
4 And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabeshgilead were they that 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 men of Jabeshgilead, and said to them, Blessed be you of the LORD, that you have showed this kindness to your lord, even to Saul, and have buried him.
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 the LORD show kindness and truth to you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because you have done this thing.
и ныне да сотворит Господь с вами милость и истину: и аз сотворю с вами сие благое, понеже сотвористе глагол сей:
7 Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be you valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me 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 Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
И Авенир сын Ниров, началный воевода Саулов, взя Иевосфеа сына Сауля, и изведе его из полка в Манаем,
9 And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, 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 Ishbosheth Saul’s son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah 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 time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
И быша дние, в няже Давид царствова в Хевроне над домом Иудиным, седмь лет и шесть месяц.
12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
И изыде Авенир сын Ниров и отроцы Иевосфеа сына Сауля из Манаема в Гаваон.
13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
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 Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now 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 Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ishbosheth 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 caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: why that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
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 there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, 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 three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
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 Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
И погна Асаил вслед Авенира, и не уклонися ни на десно ни на лево, но вслед Авенира:
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Are you Asahel? And he answered, I am.
и озреся Авенир назад себе и рече: ты ли еси сам, Асаиле? И рече: аз есмь.
21 And Abner said to him, Turn you aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay you hold on one of the young men, and take you his armor. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of 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 Abner said again to Asahel, Turn you aside from following me: why should I smite you to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab your brother?
И приложи еще Авенир глаголати ко Асаилу: отступи от мене, да не поражу тя о землю: и како явлю лице мое ко Иоаву?
23 However, he refused to turn aside: why Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down 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 Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
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 gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.
И собрашася сынове Вениаминовы за Авениром и быша в снитии единем, и сташа на версе холма единаго.
26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? know you not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, before you bid the people return from following their brothers?
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 God lives, unless you had spoken, surely then in 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 So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
И воструби Иоав трубою, и сташа вси людие, и не погнаша вслед Израилтян, и не приложиша ктому ратовати.
29 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
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 Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David’s servants nineteen men and Asahel.
И Иоав возвратися вспять от Авенира, и собра вся люди, и исчислиша отрок Давидовых (падших) девятьнадесять мужей, и Асаила.
31 But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner’s men, so that three hundred and three score men died.
Отроцы же Давидовы убиша сынов Вениаминих мужей Авенировых триста и шестьдесят мужей.
32 And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulcher of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
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.
