1 Chronicles 19
1 Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
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 the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort 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 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters to thee? are not his servants come to thee to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
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 Therefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, 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 Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards are grown, 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 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of 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 thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to 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 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
И услыша Давид, и посла Иоава и все воинство сильных.
9 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that had come were by themselves in the field.
И изыдоша сынове Аммони и ополчишася на брань при вратех градских: царие же пришедшии ополчишася особно на поли.
10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose from all the best of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
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 the rest of the people he delivered to the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
и останок людий даде в руце брату своему Авессе, и ополчишася противу сынов Аммоних.
12 And he said, If the Syrians shall be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon shall be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
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 of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which 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 the people that were with him drew near before the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
И ополчися Иоав и вси людие, иже с ним, противу Сирян на брань, и побегоша от них.
15 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came 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 And when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before 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 And it was told to David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with 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 Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men who fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
И убеже Сир от лица Израилева, и уби Давид от Сира седмь тысящ колесниц и четыредесять тысящ пешцев, и Софака первоначалника силы уби.
19 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were smote before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
И видеша раби Адраазаровы, яко падоша от лица Израилева, и прибегоша к Давиду, и служаху ему: и не восхоте Сир помогати сыном Аммоним ктому.
