2 Samuel 2
1 And it came to pass after this, that David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto 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, Achino'am the Yizre'elitess, and Abigayil, 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 dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
и мужие иже с ним кийждо, и домове их, и начаша жити во градех Хевронских.
4 And then came the men of Judah, and they anointed there David as king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, The men of Yabesh-gil'ad were those 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 thereupon sent messengers unto the men of Yabesh-gil'ad, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the Lord, that ye have done this kindness unto your Lord, unto 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 may the Lord deal with you in kindness and truth: and as for me also, I will requite you this good deed, because ye 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 And now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant men; for your lord Saul is dead; and also me have the house of Judah anointed as 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, the captain of the army of Saul, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Machanayim;
И Авенир сын Ниров, началный воевода Саулов, взя Иевосфеа сына Сауля, и изведе его из полка в Манаем,
9 And made him king over Gil'ad, and over the Ashurites, and over Yizre'el, 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 Forty years old was Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, when he became king over Israel, and two years he reigned. 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 number of days 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 there went out Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, from Machanayim to Gib'on.
И изыде Авенир сын Ниров и отроцы Иевосфеа сына Сауля из Манаема в Гаваон.
13 And Joab the son of Zeruyah and the servants of David also went out, and they met together by the pool of Gib'on: and they sat down, these on the one side of the pool, and the others 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, Do let the young men rise up and play before us. And Joab said, They may rise up.
И рече Авенир ко Иоаву: да востанут ныне отроцы и да поиграют пред нами. И рече Иоав: да востанут.
15 Then they rose up and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin, and for Ish-bosheth 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 grasped every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; and they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Chelkath-hazzurim, which is by Gib'on.
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 exceedingly fierce on that day; and Abner with the men of Israel was beaten, 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 at that place three sons of Zeruyah, Joab, and Abishai, and 'Asahel: and 'Asahel was as fleet of foot as any 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 'Asahel pursued after Abner; and he turned not in going to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.
И погна Асаил вслед Авенира, и не уклонися ни на десно ни на лево, но вслед Авенира:
20 And Abner turned round and said, Art thou '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 thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay hold for thyself on one of the young men, and take thyself his armor. But 'Asahel would not turn aside 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 Abner repeated again to say unto 'Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? and how should I then lift up my face to Joab thy 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 But he refused to turn aside; and Abner smote him with the hinder end of the spear under the fifth rib, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died on the spot: and it came to pass, that all who came to the place where 'Asahel had fallen down and died remained standing 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 But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giach on the way to the wilderness of Gib'on.
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 assembled themselves together behind Abner, and formed one solid body, and posted themselves on the top of a certain hill.
И собрашася сынове Вениаминовы за Авениром и быша в снитии единем, и сташа на версе холма единаго.
26 And Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall for everlasting the sword devour? knowest thou not that it will be bitter in the end? and how long shall it be, ere thou wilt bid the people to return from pursuing their 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 God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then already in the morning would the people have gone away every one from pursuing 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 the cornet, and all the people remained standing still, and pursued no more after Israel, and they continued no more to fight.
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 through the plain all that night, and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Machanayim.
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 pursuing Abner; and he gathered all the people together; and there were missed 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 [many] of Benjamin, and of Abner's men: three hundred and sixty 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 sepulchre of his father, which was in Beth-lechem. And Joab and his men went all that night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
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.
