Вторая книга Царств 10
1 И бысть по сих, и умре царь сынов Аммоних, и царствова сын его Аннон вместо его.
And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
2 И рече Давид: сотворю милость со Анноном сыном Наасовым, имже образом сотвори отец его милость со мною. И посла Давид утешити его рукою рабов своих о отце его. И приидоша отроцы Давидовы в землю сынов Аммоних.
Then said David, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
3 И реша старейшины сынов Аммоних ко Аннону господину своему: еда прославления ради отца твоего пред тобою посла к тебе Давид утешители? Не да испытают ли град, и соглядают его, еже разрушити его, посла Давид рабы своя к тебе?
And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters to thee? hath not David rather sent his servants to thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
4 И взя Аннон отроки Давидовы, и остриже половину брад их, и обреза одеяния их половину даже до чресл их, и отпусти их.
Therefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 И возвестиша Давиду о мужех, и посла в сретение им, яко беша мужие тии обезчещени зело. И рече царь: седите во Иерихоне, дондеже возрастут брады вашя, и возвратитеся.
When they told it to David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards are grown, and then return.
6 И видеша сынове Аммони, яко посрамлени быша людие Давидовы: и послаша сынове Аммони, и наяша Сирию Вефраамлю, и Сирию Сувску и Роовлю двадесять тысящ пешцев, и царя Амалика Мааха тысящу мужей, и Истова дванадесять тысящ мужей.
And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men.
7 И слыша Давид, и посла Иоава и всю силу сильных.
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
8 И изыдоша сынове Аммони, и устроиша брань пред враты града: Сириа же Сувска и Роов, и Истов и Амалик, едини (сташа) на селе.
And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
9 И виде Иоав, яко бысть на него противное лице брани сопреди и созади, и избра от всех юнош Израилевых, и устрои их противу Сириан,
When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
10 останок же людий даде в руце брату своему Авессе и устрои я противу сынов Аммоних,
And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon.
11 и рече (Иоав ко Авессе): аще укрепится Сириа паче мене, и будете мне на спасение: аще же укрепятся сынове Аммони паче тебе, и будем спасати тя:
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 come and help thee.
12 мужаимся и укрепимся о людех наших и о градех Бога нашего, и Господь сотворит благое пред очима Своима.
Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.
13 И прииде Иоав и людие его с ним на брань на Сирию, и побегоша от лица его.
And Joab and the people that were with him, drew near, to the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
14 И видеша сынове Аммони, яко бежаша Сириане, и бежаша от лица Авессы и внидоша во град. И возвратися Иоав от сынов Аммоних, и прииде во Иерусалим.
And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 И видеша Сириане, яко падоша пред Израилем, и собрашася вкупе.
And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
16 И посла Адраазар, и собра Сирианы, иже об он пол реки Халамака, и приидоша во Елам: и Совак старейшина силы Адраазаровы пред ними.
And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
17 И возвестиша Давиду, и собра всего Израиля, и прейде Иордан, и прииде во Елам. И устроишася Сириане на Давида, и брашася с ним,
And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
18 и бежаша Сириане от лица Израилтян. И отя Давид от Сирии седмь сот колесниц и четыредесять тысящ конник, и Совака старейшину силы его уби, и умре тамо.
And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.
19 И видеша вси царие раби Адраазаровы, яко падоша пред Израилем, и пребегоша ко Израилю и работаша им: и убояшася Сириане спасати ктому сынов Аммоних.
And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
