And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came from the camp, from the people of Saul, and his garments were rent, and earth was upon his head: and it came to pass when he went in to David, that he fell upon the earth, and did obeisance to him.
And David said to him, What is the matter? tell me. And he said, The people fled out of the battle, and many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.
And the young man that brought the tidings, said to him, I happened accidentally to be upon mount Gelbue; and, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear, and, behold, the chariots and captains of horse pressed hard upon him.
And he said to me, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and slay me, for a dreadful darkness has come upon me, for all my life is in me.
10
и҆ ста́хъ над̾ ни́мъ, и҆ оу҆би́хъ є҆го̀: вѣ́дѣхъ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ не бꙋ́детъ жи́въ по паде́нїи свое́мъ: и҆ взѧ́въ вѣне́цъ ца́рскїй, и҆́же бѣ̀ на главѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ нара́мницꙋ, ꙗ҆́же бѣ̀ на плєщꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ принесо́хъ сїѧ̑ къ господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀ сѣ́мѡ.
10
So I stood over him and slew him, because I knew he would not live after he was fallen; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was upon his arm, and I have brought them hither to my lord.
And they lamented, and wept, and fasted till evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Juda, and for the house of Israel, because they were smitten with the sword.
Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain that died upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
20
не возвѣща́йте въ ге́ѳѣ, нижѐ повѣ́дайте на и҆схо́дищихъ а҆скалѡ́нихъ, да не возвеселѧ́тсѧ дщє́ри и҆ноплемє́нничи, ни да возра́дꙋютсѧ дщє́ри неѡбрѣ́занныхъ.
20
Tell it not in Geth, and tell it not as glad tidings in the streets of Ascalon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21
Го́ры гелвꙋ̑йскїѧ, да не сни́детъ роса̀ нижѐ до́ждь на ва́съ: и҆ се́ла нача́ткѡвъ (жи́тныхъ), ꙗ҆́кѡ та́мѡ пове́рженъ бы́сть щи́тъ си́льныхъ: щи́тъ саꙋ́ловъ не бы́ти пома́занъ є҆ле́емъ:
21
Ye mountains of Gelbue, let not dew nor rain descend upon you, nor fields of first-fruits be upon you, for there the shield of the mighty ones has been grievously assailed; the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
22
ѿ кро́ве ꙗ҆́звеныхъ и҆ ѿ тꙋ́ка си́льныхъ лꙋ́къ і҆ѡнаѳа́новъ не возврати́сѧ то́щь вспѧ́ть, и҆ ме́чь саꙋ́ловъ не возврати́сѧ то́щь:
22
From the blood of the slain, and from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan returned not empty; and the sword of Saul turned not back empty.
Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the beautiful, were not divided: comely were they in their life, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, and they were stronger than lions.
24
пла́чите по саꙋ́лѣ, дщє́ри і҆и҃лєвы, и҆́же ва́съ ѡ҆блача́ше въ червлєни́цы со оу҆краше́нїемъ ва́шимъ, и҆ возлага́ше оу҆краше́нїе зла́то на ри̑зы ва́шѧ:
24
Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you with scarlet together with your adorning, who added golden ornaments to your apparel.
25
ка́кѡ падо́ша си́льнїи посредѣ̀ бра́ни; і҆ѡнаѳа́не, до сме́рти на высо́кихъ твои́хъ ꙗ҆́звенъ є҆сѝ:
25
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, even the slain ones upon thy high places!
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.
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.
And David sent messengers to the rulers of Jabis of the country of Galaad, and David said to them, Blessed be ye of the Lord, because ye have wrought this mercy toward your lord, even toward Saul the anointed of the Lord, and ye have buried him and Jonathan his son.
And now may the Lord deal in mercy and truth towards you: and I also will requite towards you this good deed, because ye have done this.
7
и҆ нн҃ѣ да оу҆крѣпѧ́тсѧ рꙋ́ки ва́шѧ, и҆ да бꙋ́дете сы́нове си́льнїи, ꙗ҆́кѡ оу҆́мре господи́нъ ва́шъ саꙋ́лъ, мене́ же пома́за до́мъ і҆ꙋ́динъ, да ца́рствꙋю над̾ ни́ми.
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.
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.
14
И҆ речѐ а҆вени́ръ ко і҆ѡа́вꙋ: да воста́нꙋтъ нн҃ѣ ѻ҆́троцы и҆ да поигра́ютъ пред̾ на́ми. И҆ речѐ і҆ѡа́въ: да воста́нꙋтъ.
14
And Abenner said to Joab, Let now the young men arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
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.
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.
And Abenner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asael himself? and he said, I am.
21
И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ а҆вени́ръ: оу҆клони́сѧ ты̀ на де́сно и҆лѝ на шꙋ́ее, и҆ возмѝ себѣ̀ є҆ди́наго ѿ ѻ҆́трѡкъ, и҆ возмѝ себѣ̀ всѐ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїе є҆гѡ̀. И҆ не восхотѣ̀ а҆саи́лъ оу҆клони́тисѧ ѿ негѡ̀.
21
And Abenner said to him, Turn thou to the right hand or to the left, and lay hold for thyself on one of the young men, and take to thyself his armour: but Asael would not turn back from following him.
22
И҆ приложѝ є҆щѐ а҆вени́ръ глаго́лати ко а҆саи́лꙋ: ѿстꙋпѝ ѿ менє̀, да не поражꙋ́ тѧ ѡ҆ зе́млю: и҆ ка́кѡ ꙗ҆влю̀ лицѐ моѐ ко і҆ѡа́вꙋ;
22
And Abenner said yet again to Asael, Stand aloof from me, lest I smite thee to the ground? and how should I lift up my face to Joab?
And what does this mean? return to Joab thy 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.
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.
25
И҆ собра́шасѧ сы́нове венїамі́нѡвы за а҆вени́ромъ и҆ бы́ша въ сни́тїи є҆ди́нѣмъ, и҆ ста́ша на версѣ̀ холма̀ є҆ди́нагѡ.
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.
26
И҆ воззва̀ а҆вени́ръ ко і҆ѡа́вꙋ и҆ речѐ: є҆да̀ въ побѣ́дꙋ поѧ́стъ ме́чь; и҆лѝ не вѣ́си, ꙗ҆́кѡ гѡрька̀ бꙋ́дꙋтъ послѣ̑днѧѧ; и҆ доко́лѣ не рече́ши лю́демъ возврати́тисѧ созадѝ бра́тїй на́шихъ;
26
And Abenner called Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour perpetually? knowest thou not that it will be bitter at last? How long then wilt thou refuse to tell the people to turn from following our brethren?
27
И҆ речѐ і҆ѡа́въ: жи́въ гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆́кѡ, а҆́ще бы не ре́клъ є҆сѝ, тогда̀ ѿ оу҆́тра бы лю́дїе моѝ преста́ли гонѧ́ще кі́йждо в̾слѣ́дъ бра́та своегѡ̀.
27
And Joab said, As the Lord lives, if thou hadst not spoken, even from the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
28
И҆ вострꙋбѝ і҆ѡа́въ трꙋбо́ю, и҆ ста́ша всѝ лю́дїе, и҆ не погна́ша в̾слѣ́дъ і҆и҃лтѧнъ, и҆ не приложи́ша ктомꙋ̀ ра́товати.
28
And Joab sounded the trumpet, and all the people departed, and did not pursue after Israel, and did not fight any longer.
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.
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.
And there was war for a long time between the house of Saul and the house of David; and the house of David grew continually stronger; but the house of Saul grew continually weaker.
And his second son was Daluia, the son of Abigaia the Carmelitess; and the third, Abessalom the son of Maacha the daughter of Tholmi the king of Gessir.
And Abenner was very angry with Jebosthe for this saying; and Abenner said to him, Am I a dog's head? I have this day wrought kindness with the house of Saul thy father, and with his brethren and friends, and have not gone over to the house of David, and dost thou this day seek a charge against me concerning injury to a woman?
And Abenner sent messengers to David to Thælam where he was, immediately, saying, Make thy covenant with me, and, behold, my hand is with thee to bring back to thee all the house of Israel.
And David said, With a good will I will make with thee a covenant: only I demand one condition of thee, saying, Thou shalt not see my face, unless thou bring Melchol the daughter of Saul, when thou comest to see my face.
14
И҆ посла̀ даві́дъ ко і҆евосѳе́ю сы́нꙋ саꙋ́лю вѣ́стники, глаго́лѧ: ѿда́ждь мнѣ̀ женꙋ̀ мою̀ мелхо́лꙋ, ю҆́же взѧ́хъ за сто̀ неѡбрѣ́занїй и҆ноплеме́нничихъ.
14
And David sent messengers to Jebosthe the son of Saul, saying, Restore me my wife Melchol, whom I took for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
and now perform it: for the Lord has spoken concerning David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save Israel out of the hand of all their enemies.
And Abenner spoke in the ears of Benjamin: and Abenner went to speak in the ears of David at Chebron, all that seemed good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of the house of Benjamin.
And Abenner said to David, I will arise now, and go, and gather to my lord the king all Israel; and I will make with him a covenant, and thou shalt reign over all whom thy soul desires. And David sent away Abenner, and he departed in peace.
And, behold, the servants of David and Joab arrived from their expedition, and they brought much spoil with them: and Abenner was not with David in Chebron, because he had sent him away, and he had departed in peace.
And Joab and all his army came, and it was reported to Joab, saying, Abenner the son of Ner is come to David, and David has let him go, and he has departed in peace.
And Joab went in to the king, and said, What is this that thou hast done? behold, Abenner came to thee; and why hast thou let him go, and he has departed in peace?
Knowest thou not the mischief of Abenner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all things that thou doest?
26
И҆ возврати́сѧ і҆ѡа́въ ѿ даві́да, и҆ посла̀ послы̀ в̾слѣ́дъ а҆вени́ра, и҆ возврати́ша є҆го̀ ѿ кла́дѧзѧ сеїра́мска: даві́дъ же не вѣ́дѧше.
26
And Joab returned from David, and sent messengers to Abenner after him; and they bring him back from the well of Seïram: but David knew it not.
And he brought back Abenner to Chebron, and Joab caused him to turn aside from the gate to speak to him, laying wait for him: and he smote him there in the loins, and he died for the blood of Asael the brother of Joab.
And David heard of it afterwards, and said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord even for ever of the blood of Abenner the son of Ner.
29
да сни́детъ на главꙋ̀ і҆ѡа́влю и҆ на ве́сь до́мъ ѻ҆тца̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ да не ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́етъ ѿ до́мꙋ і҆ѡа́влѧ и҆злива́ѧй сѣ́мѧ, и҆ прокаже́нный, и҆ держа́йсѧ жезла̀, и҆ па́даѧй ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ, и҆ оу҆ма́ленный хлѣ́бами.
29
Let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all the house of his father; and let there not be wanting of the house of Joab one that has an issue, or a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that wants bread.
30
І҆ѡа́въ же и҆ а҆ве́сса бра́тъ є҆гѡ̀ наблюда́хꙋ а҆вени́ра, поне́же оу҆бѝ а҆саи́ла бра́та и҆́хъ въ гаваѡ́нѣ на бра́ни.
30
For Joab and Abessa his brother laid wait continually for Abenner, because he slew Asael their brother at Gabaon in the battle.
31
И҆ речѐ даві́дъ ко і҆ѡа́вꙋ и҆ ко всѣ̑мъ лю́демъ є҆гѡ̀: раздери́те ри̑зы ва́шѧ и҆ препоѧ́шитесѧ вре́тищы, и҆ рыда́йте ѡ҆ а҆вени́рѣ. Са́мъ же ца́рь даві́дъ и҆дѧ́ше в̾слѣ́дъ ѻ҆дра̀.
31
And David said to Joab and to all the people with him, Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament before Abenner. And king David followed the bier.
And the king mourned over Abenner, and said, Shall Abenner die according to the death of Nabal?
34
рꙋ́цѣ твоѝ не свѧ̑заны, но́зѣ твоѝ не во ѡ҆ко́вахъ: не пристꙋпи́лъ є҆сѝ ꙗ҆́коже нава́лъ, пред̾ сынмѝ непра́вды па́лъ є҆сѝ. И҆ собра́шасѧ всѝ лю́дїе пла́катисѧ є҆гѡ̀,
34
Thy hands were not bound, and thy feet were not put in fetters: one brought thee not near as Nabal; thou didst fall before children of iniquity.
35
и҆ прїидо́ша всѝ лю́дїе предложи́ти даві́дꙋ ꙗ҆́сти хлѣ́бы є҆щѐ сꙋ́щꙋ днѝ. И҆ клѧ́тсѧ даві́дъ, глаго́лѧ: сїѧ̑ да сотвори́тъ мѝ бг҃ъ и҆ сїѧ̑ да приложи́тъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́ще не за́йдетъ со́лнце, не и҆́мамъ вкꙋси́ти хлѣ́ба ни и҆но́гѡ чегѡ̀.
35
And all the people assembled to weep for him. And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day: and David swore, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if I eat bread or any thing else before the sun goes down.
So all the people and all Israel perceived in that day, that it was not of the king to slay Abenner the son of Ner.
38
И҆ речѐ ца́рь ѻ҆трокѡ́мъ свои̑мъ: не вѣ́сте ли, ꙗ҆́кѡ властели́нъ вели́къ падѐ въ се́й де́нь во і҆и҃ли;
38
And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that a great prince is this day fallen in Israel?
39
и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ є҆́смь бли́жнїй дне́сь и҆ возста́вленъ въ царѧ̀; мꙋ́жїе же сі́и сы́нове сарꙋ̑ины жесточа́йшїи менє̀ сꙋ́ть: да возда́стъ гдⷭ҇ь творѧ́щемꙋ лꙋка̑внаѧ по ѕло́бѣ є҆гѡ̀.
39
And that I am this day a mere kinsman of his, and as it were a subject; but these men the sons of Saruia are too hard for me: the Lord reward the evil-doer according to his wickedness.
And Jebosthe the son of Saul heard that Abenner the son of Ner had died in Chebron; and his hands were paralysed, and all the men of Israel grew faint.
And Jebosthe the son of Saul had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, sons of Remmon the Berothite of the children of Benjamin; for Beroth was reckoned to the children of Benjamin.
And Jonathan Saul's son had a son lame of his feet, five years old, and he was in the way when the news of Saul and Jonathan his son came from Jezrael, and his nurse took him up, and fled; and it came to pass as he hasted and retreated, that he fell, and was lamed. And his name was Memphibosthe.
And Rechab and Baana the sons of Remmon the Berothite went, and they came in the heat of the day into the house of Jebosthe; and he was sleeping on a bed at noon.
and Jebosthe was sleeping on his bed in his chamber: and they smite him, and slay him, and take off his head: and they took his head, and went all the night by the western road.
And they brought the head of Jebosthe to David to Chebron, and they said to the king, Behold the head of Jebosthe the son of Saul thy enemy, who sought thy life; and the Lord has executed for my lord the king vengeance on his enemies, as it is this day: even on Saul thy enemy, and on his seed.
And David answered Rechab and Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them, As the Lord lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all affliction;
he that reported to me that Saul was dead, even he was as one bringing glad tidings before me: but I seized him and slew him in Sekelac, to whom I ought, as he thought, to have given a reward for his tidings.
And now evil men have slain a righteous man in his house on his bed: now then I will require his blood of your hand, and I will destroy you from off the earth.
And David commanded his young men, and they slay them, and cut off their hands and their feet; and they hung them up at the fountain in Chebron: and they buried the head of Jebosthe in the tomb of Abenner the son of Ner.
And heretofore Saul being king over us, thou wast he that didst lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be for a leader to my people Israel.
And all the elders of Israel come to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord; and they anoint David king over all Israel.
Seven years and six months he reigned in Chebron over Juda, and thirty-three years he reigned over all Israel and Juda in Jerusalem.
6
И҆ по́йде даві́дъ и҆ всѝ мꙋ́жїе є҆гѡ̀ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ ко і҆евꙋсе́ю, живꙋ́щемꙋ на землѝ то́й. И҆ рѣ́ша даві́дꙋ: не вни́деши сѣ́мѡ, ꙗ҆́кѡ воста́ша хромі́и и҆ слѣпі́и глаго́люще: ꙗ҆́кѡ не вни́детъ даві́дъ сѣ́мѡ.
6
And David and his men departed to Jerusalem, to the Jebusite that inhabited the land: and it was said to David, Thou shalt not come in hither: for the blind and the lame withstood him, saying, David shall not come in hither.
And David said on that day, Every one that smites the Jebusite, let him attack with the dagger both the lame and the blind, and those that hate the soul of David. Therefore they say, The lame and the blind shall not enter into the house of the Lord.
And David dwelt in the hold, and it was called the city of David, and he built the city itself round about from the citadel, and he built his own house.
And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over Israel; and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the strong hold.
18
И҆ноплемє́нницы же прїидо́ша и҆ соедини́шасѧ во ю҆до́ли тїта́нстѣй.
18
And the Philistines came, and assembled in the valley of the giants.
19
И҆ вопросѝ даві́дъ гдⷭ҇а, глаго́лѧ: взы́дꙋ ли ко и҆ноплеме́нникѡмъ; и҆ преда́си ли ѧ҆̀ въ рꙋ́цѣ моѝ; И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ даві́дꙋ: взы́ди, ꙗ҆́кѡ предаѧ̀ преда́мъ и҆ноплеме́нники въ рꙋ́цѣ твоѝ.
19
And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hands? and the Lord said to David, Go up, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into thine hands.
And David came from Upper Breaches, and smote the Philistines there: and David said, The Lord has destroyed the hostile Philistines before me, as water is dispersed; therefore the name of that place was called Over Breaches.
And they leave there their gods, and David and his men with him took them.
22
И҆ приложи́ша па́ки прїитѝ и҆ноплемє́нницы и҆ собра́шасѧ на ю҆до́ли тїта́нстѣй.
22
And the Philistines came up yet again, and assembled in the valley of Giants.
23
И҆ вопросѝ даві́дъ гдⷭ҇а: взы́дꙋ ли ко и҆ноплеме́нникѡмъ; и҆ преда́си ли и҆̀хъ въ рꙋ́цѣ моѝ; И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь: не и҆сходѝ на срѣ́тенїе и҆̀мъ, но оу҆клони́сѧ ѿ ни́хъ, и҆ пристꙋ́пиши къ ни̑мъ бли́з̾ дꙋбра́вы пла́ча:
23
And David enquired of the Lord: and the Lord said, Thou shalt not go up to meet them: turn from them, and thou shalt meet them near the place of weeping.
And it shall come to pass when thou hearest the sound of a clashing together from the grove of weeping, then thou shalt go down to them, for then the Lord shall go forth before thee to make havoc in the battle with the Philistines.
And David arose, and went, he and all the people that were with him, and some of the rulers of Juda, on an expedition to a distant place, to bring back thence the ark of God, on which the name of the Lord of Hosts who dwells between the cherubs upon it is called.
3
и҆ возложи́ша кївѡ́тъ гдⷭ҇ень на колесни́цꙋ но́вꙋ, и҆ ѿвезо́ша є҆го̀ и҆з̾ до́мꙋ и҆ а҆мїнада́влѧ и҆́же на хо́лмѣ: ѻ҆за́ же и҆ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀ сы́нове а҆мїнада̑вли везѧ́хꙋ колесни́цꙋ съ кївѡ́томъ (гдⷭ҇нимъ):
3
And they put the ark of the Lord on a new waggon, and took it out of the house of Aminadab who lived on the hill: and Oza and his brethren the sons of Aminadab drove the waggon with the ark.
And David and the children of Israel were playing before the Lord on well-tuned instruments mightily, and with songs, and with harps, and with lutes, and with drums, and with cymbals, and with pipes.
6
и҆ прїидо́ша до гꙋмна̀ нахѡ́рова. И҆ прострѐ ѻ҆за̀ рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀ на кївѡ́тъ бж҃їй придержа́ти є҆го̀, и҆ ꙗ҆́тсѧ за него̀, поне́же превраща́ше є҆го̀ теле́цъ.
6
And they come as far as the threshing floor of Nachor: and Oza reached forth his hand to the ark of God to keep it steady, and took hold of it; for the ox shook it out of its place.
And David feared the Lord in that day, saying, How shall the ark of the Lord come in to me?
10
И҆ не хотѧ́ше даві́дъ, да прїи́детъ къ немꙋ̀ кївѡ́тъ завѣ́та гдⷭ҇нѧ во гра́дъ даві́довъ: и҆ оу҆клонѝ є҆го̀ даві́дъ въ до́мъ а҆ведда́ра геѳе́анина.
10
And David would not bring in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to himself into the city of David: and David turned it aside into the house of Abeddara the Gethite.
And the ark of the Lord lodged in the house of Abeddara the Gethite three months, and the Lord blessed all the house of Abeddara, and all his possessions.
And it was reported to king David, saying, The Lord has blessed the house of Abeddara, and all that he has, because of the ark of the Lord. And David went, and brought up the ark of the Lord from the house of Abeddara to the city of David with gladness.
And it came to pass as the ark arrived at the city of David, that Melchol the daughter of Saul looked through the window, and saw king David dancing and playing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.
And they bring the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle which David pitched for it: and David offered whole-burnt-offerings before the Lord, and peace-offerings.
And David made an end of offering the whole-burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and blessed the people in the name of the Lord of Hosts.
19
и҆ раздѣлѝ всѣ̑мъ лю́демъ на всю̀ си́лꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ ѿ да́на да́же до вирсаві́и, и҆ ѿ мꙋ́жа да́же до жены̀, коемꙋ́ждо по оу҆крꙋ́хꙋ хлѣ́ба, и҆ по ча́сти пече́нагѡ мѧ́са, и҆ по сковрадно́мꙋ млинꙋ̀. И҆ ѿидо́ша всѝ лю́дїе, кі́йждо въ до́мъ сво́й.

And he distributed to all the people, even to all the host of Israel from Dan to Bersabee, both men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a joint of meat, and a cake from the frying-pan: and all the people departed every one to his home.
And David returned to bless his house. And Melchol the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and saluted him, and said, How was the king of Israel glorified to-day, who was to-day uncovered in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the dancers wantonly uncovers himself!
And David said to Melchol, I will dance before the Lord. Blessed be the Lord who chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to make me head over his people, even over Israel: therefore I will play, and dance before the Lord.
Go, and say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord, Thou shalt not build me a house for me to dwell in.
6
ꙗ҆́кѡ не ѡ҆бита́хъ въ домꙋ̀, ѿ негѡ́же днѐ и҆зведо́хъ сы́ны і҆и҃лєвы и҆з̾ землѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ до днѐ сегѡ̀, но бѣ́хъ ходѧ̀ во ѡ҆бита́лищи и҆ въ кꙋ́щи,
6
For I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt to this day, but I have been walking in a lodge and in a tent,
7
во всѣ́хъ и҆дѣ́же хожда́хъ во все́мъ і҆и҃ли: а҆́ще гл҃ѧ гл҃ахъ ко є҆ди́номꙋ колѣ́нꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ, є҆мꙋ́же заповѣ́дахъ пастѝ лю́ди моѧ̑ і҆и҃лѧ, гл҃ѧ: почто̀ не созда́сте мѝ до́мꙋ ке́дрова;
7
wheresoever I went with all Israel. Have I ever spoken to any of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to tend my people Israel, saying, Why have ye not built me a house of cedar?
And now thus shalt thou say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord Almighty, I took thee from the sheep-cote, that thou shouldest be a prince over my people, over Israel.
9
и҆ бѣ́хъ съ тобо́ю во всѣ́хъ, а҆́може ходи́лъ є҆сѝ, и҆ и҆скорени́хъ всѧ̑ врагѝ твоѧ̑ ѿ лица̀ твоегѡ̀, и҆ сотвори́хъ тѧ̀ и҆мени́та по и҆́мени вели́кихъ и҆̀же на землѝ,
9
And I was with thee wheresoever thou wentest, and I destroyed all thine enemies before thee, and I made thee renowned according to the renown of the great ones on the earth.
And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell by themselves, and shall be no more distressed; and the son of iniquity shall no more afflict them, as he has done from the beginning,
from the days when I appointed judges over my people Israel: and I will give thee rest from all thine enemies, and the Lord will tell thee that thou shalt build a house to him.
And it shall come to pass when thy days shall have been fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, even thine own issue, and I will establish his kingdom.
I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. And when he happens to transgress, then will I chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men.
15
млⷭ҇ти же моеѧ̀ не ѿста́влю ѿ негѡ̀, ꙗ҆́коже ѿста́вихъ ѿ тѣ́хъ, и҆̀хже ѿста́вихъ ѿ лица̀ моегѡ̀:
15
But my mercy I will not take from him, as I took it from those whom I removed from my presence.
16
и҆ вѣ́ренъ бꙋ́детъ до́мъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ца́рство є҆гѡ̀ до вѣ́ка предо мно́ю: и҆ престо́лъ є҆гѡ̀ бꙋ́детъ и҆спра́вленъ во вѣ́къ.
16
And his house shall be made sure, and his kingdom for ever before me, and his throne shall be set up for ever.
17
По всѣ̑мъ словесє́мъ си̑мъ и҆ по всемꙋ̀ видѣ́нїю семꙋ̀, та́кѡ глаго́ла наѳа́нъ ко даві́дꙋ.
17
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
Whereas I was very little before thee, O Lord, my Lord, yet thou spokest concerning the house of thy servant for a long time to come. And is this the law of man, O Lord, my Lord?
And what other nation in the earth is as thy people Israel? whereas God was his guide, to redeem for himself a people to make thee a name, to do mightily and nobly, so that thou shouldest cast out nations and their tabernacles from the presence of thy people, whom thou didst redeem for thyself out of Egypt?
And now, O my Lord, the Almighty Lord God of Israel, confirm the word for ever which thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and his house: and now as thou hast said,
26
и҆ нн҃ѣ да возвели́читсѧ и҆́мѧ твоѐ до вѣ́ка, глаго́лѧ: гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель бг҃ъ над̾ і҆и҃лемъ, и҆ до́мъ раба̀ твоегѡ̀ даві́да да бꙋ́детъ и҆спра́вленъ пред̾ тобо́ю:
Almighty Lord God of Israel, thou hast uncovered the ear of thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house: therefore thy servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to thee.
And now begin and bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee; for thou, O Lord, my Lord, hast spoken, and the house of thy servant shall be blessed with thy blessing so as to continue for ever.
And it came to pass after this, that David smote the Philistines, and put them to flight, and David took the tribute from out of the hand of the Philistines.
And David smote Moab, and measured them out with lines, having laid them down on the ground: and there were two lines for slaying, and two lines he kept alive: and Moab became servants to David, yielding tribute.
And David took a thousand of his chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all his chariot horses, and he reserved to himself a hundred chariots.
And David placed a garrison in Syria near Damascus, and the Syrians became servants and tributaries to David: and the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.
7
И҆ взѧ̀ даві́дъ гри̑вны златы̑ѧ, ꙗ҆̀же бы́ша на ѻ҆́троцѣхъ а҆драаза́ра царѧ̀ сꙋ́вска, и҆ принесѐ ѧ҆̀ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ: и҆ взѧ̀ и҆́хъ сꙋсакі́мъ ца́рь є҆гѵ́петскъ, є҆гда̀ взы́де во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ во дни̑ ровоа́ма сы́на соломѡ́нѧ.

And David took the golden bracelets which were on the servants of Adraazar king of Suba, and brought them to Jerusalem. And Susakim king of Egypt took them, when he went up to Jerusalem in the days of Roboam son of Solomon.
And king David took from Metebac, and from the choice cities of Adraazar, very much brass: with that Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the lavers, and all the furniture.
And Thoü sent Jedduram his son to king David, to ask him of his welfare, and to congratulate him on his fighting against Adraazar and smiting him, for he was an enemy to Adraazar: and in his hands were vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass.
out of Idumea, and out of Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalec, and from the spoils of Adraazar son of Raab king of Suba.
And there was a servant of the house of Saul, and his name was Siba: and they call him to David; and the king said to him, Art thou Siba? and he said, I am thy servant.
And the king said, Is there yet a man left of the house of Saul, that I may act towards him with the mercy of God? and Siba said to the king, There is yet a son of Jonathan, lame of his feet.
And Memphibosthe the son of Jonathan the son of Saul comes to king David, and he fell upon his face and did obeisance to him: and David said to him, Memphibosthe: and he said, Behold thy servant.
And David said to him, Fear not, for I will surely deal mercifully with thee for the sake of Jonathan thy father, and I will restore to thee all the land of Saul the father of thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
And the king called Siba the servant of Saul, and said to him, All that belonged to Saul and to all his house have I given to the son of thy lord.
10
и҆ дѣ́лай є҆мꙋ̀ зе́млю ты̀ и҆ сы́нове твоѝ и҆ рабѝ твоѝ, и҆ да прино́сиши сы́нꙋ господи́на твоегѡ̀ хлѣ́бы, да ꙗ҆́стъ: и҆ мемфївосѳе́й сы́нъ господи́на твоегѡ̀ да ꙗ҆́стъ хлѣ́бъ всегда̀ на трапе́зѣ мое́й. Оу҆ сївы́ же бѧ́хꙋ пѧтьна́десѧть сынѡ́въ и҆ два́десѧть рабѡ́въ.
10
And thou, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him; and thou shalt bring in bread to the son of thy lord, and he shall eat bread: and Memphibosthe the son of thy lord shall eat bread continually at my table. Now Siba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
And Siba said to the king, According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so will thy servant do. And Memphibosthe did eat at the table of David, as one of the sons of the king.
And David said, I will shew mercy to Annon the son of Naas, as his father dealt mercifully with me. And David sent to comfort him concerning his father by the hand of his servants; and the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon.
3
И҆ рѣ́ша старѣ̑йшины сынѡ́въ а҆ммѡ́нихъ ко а҆ннѡ́нꙋ господи́нꙋ своемꙋ̀: є҆да̀ прославле́нїѧ ра́ди ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ пред̾ тобо́ю посла̀ къ тебѣ̀ даві́дъ оу҆тѣ́шитєли; не да и҆спыта́ютъ ли гра́дъ, и҆ соглѧ́даютъ є҆го̀, є҆́же разрꙋши́ти є҆го̀, посла̀ даві́дъ рабы̑ своѧ̑ къ тебѣ̀;
3
And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Annon their lord, Is it to honour thy father before thee that David has sent comforters to thee? Has not David rather sent his servants to thee that they should search the city, and spy it out and examine it?
And they brought David word concerning the men; and he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly dishonoured: and the king said, Remain in Jericho till your beards have grown, and then ye shall return.
And the children of Ammon saw that the people of David were ashamed; and the children of Ammon sent, and hired the Syrians of Bæthraam, and the Syrians of Suba, and Roob, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Amalec with a thousand men, and Istob with twelve thousand men.
And the children of Ammon went forth, and set the battle in array by the door of the gate: those of Syria, Suba, and Roob, and Istob, and Amalec, being by themselves in the field.
And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him from that which was opposed in front and from behind, and he chose out some of all the young men of Israel, and they set themselves in array against Syria.
And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abessa his brother, and they set the battle in array opposite to the children of Ammon.
11
и҆ речѐ (і҆ѡа́въ ко а҆ве́ссѣ): а҆́ще оу҆крѣпи́тсѧ сѷрі́а па́че менє̀, и҆ бꙋ́дете мнѣ̀ на спасе́нїе: а҆́ще же оу҆крѣпѧ́тсѧ сы́нове а҆ммѡ̑ни па́че тебє̀, и҆ бꙋ́демъ спаса́ти тѧ̀:
11
And he said, If Syria be too strong for me, then shall ye help me: and if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then will we be ready to help thee.
Be thou courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God, and the Lord shall do that which is good in his eyes.
13
И҆ прїи́де і҆ѡа́въ и҆ лю́дїе є҆гѡ̀ съ ни́мъ на бра́нь на сѷрі́ю, и҆ побѣго́ша ѿ лица̀ є҆гѡ̀.
13
And Joab and his people with him advanced to battle against Syria, and they fled from before him.
And the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, and they fled from before Abessa, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
And Adraazar sent and gathered the Syrians from the other side of the river Chalamak, and they came to Ælam; and Sobac the captain of the host of Adraazar was at their head.
And it was reported to David, and he gathered all Israel, and went over Jordan, and came to Ælam: and the Syrians set the battle in array against David, and fought with him.
And Syria fled from before Israel, and David destroyed of Syria seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and he smote Sobac the captain of his host, and he died there.
And all the kings the servants of Adraazar saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, and they went over to Israel, and served them: and Syria was afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.

И҆ бы́сть по возвраще́нїи лѣ́та, во вре́мѧ и҆схожде́нїѧ царе́й (на бра́нь), и҆ посла̀ даві́дъ і҆ѡа́ва и҆ ѻ҆́троки своѧ̑ съ ни́мъ, и҆ всего̀ і҆и҃лѧ: и҆ расточи́ша сы́ны а҆ммѡ̑ни и҆ ѡ҆бсѣдо́ша ѡ҆́крестъ равва́ѳа, и҆ даві́дъ сѣ́де во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ.
1
And it came to pass when the time of the year for kings going out to battle had come round, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbath: but David remained at Jerusalem.
2
И҆ бы́сть при ве́черѣ, и҆ воста̀ даві́дъ ѿ ло́жа своегѡ̀, и҆ хожда́ше на кро́вѣ до́мꙋ ца́рскагѡ, и҆ оу҆ви́дѣ женꙋ̀ съ кро́ва мы́ющꙋюсѧ: жена́ же взо́ромъ добра̀ велмѝ:
2
And it came to pass toward evening, that David arose off his couch, and walked on the roof of the king's house, and saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
3
и҆ посла̀ даві́дъ, и҆ взыска̀ женꙋ̀, и҆ речѐ: не сїѧ́ ли вирсаві́а дще́рь є҆лїа́влѧ, жена̀ оу҆рі́и хетте́анина;
3
And David sent and enquired about the woman: and one said, Is not this Bersabee the daughter of Eliab, the wife of Urias the Chettite?
And David sent messengers, and took her, and went in to her, and he lay with her: and she was purified from her uncleanness, and returned to her house.
5
И҆ зача́тъ жена̀ во чре́вѣ: и҆ посла́вши возвѣстѝ даві́дꙋ и҆ речѐ: сѐ, а҆́зъ є҆́смь во чре́вѣ и҆мꙋ́щаѧ.
5
And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
6
И҆ посла̀ даві́дъ ко і҆ѡа́вꙋ, глаго́лѧ: послѝ ко мнѣ̀ оу҆рі́ю хетте́анина. И҆ посла̀ і҆ѡа́въ оу҆рі́ю къ даві́дꙋ.
6
And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Urias the Chettite; and Joab sent Urias to David.
And David said to Urias, Go to thy house, and wash thy feet: and Urias departed from the house of the king, and a portion of meat from the king followed him.
And Urias slept at the door of the king with the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
10
И҆ возвѣсти́ша даві́дꙋ, глаго́люще: ꙗ҆́кѡ не ходѝ оу҆рі́а въ до́мъ сво́й. И҆ речѐ даві́дъ ко оу҆рі́и: не съ пꙋти́ ли прише́лъ є҆сѝ; почто̀ не вше́лъ є҆сѝ въ до́мъ тво́й;
10
And they brought David word, saying, Urias has not gone down to his house. And David said to Urias, Art thou not come from a journey? why hast thou not gone down to thy house?
And Urias said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Juda dwell in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; and shall I go into my house to eat and drink, and lie with my wife? how should I do this? as thy soul lives, I will not do this thing.
12
И҆ речѐ даві́дъ ко оу҆рі́и: посѣдѝ здѣ̀ и҆ дне́сь, и҆ заꙋ́тра ѿпꙋщꙋ́ тѧ. И҆ пребы́сть оу҆рі́а во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ въ то́й де́нь и҆ во оу҆́трешнїй.
12
And David said to Urias, Remain here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee go. So Urias remained in Jerusalem that day and the day following.
And David called him, and he ate before him and drank, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening to lie upon his bed with the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
And he wrote in the letter, saying, Station Urias in front of the severe part of the fight, and retreat from behind him, so shall he be wounded and die.
And he charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast finished reporting all the events of the war to the king,
20
и҆ бꙋ́детъ а҆́ще разгнѣ́ваетсѧ ца́рь и҆ рече́тъ тѝ: почто̀ прибли́жистесѧ ко гра́дꙋ на бра́нь; не вѣ́дасте ли, ꙗ҆́кѡ стрѣлѧ́ти бꙋ́дꙋтъ съ стѣны̀;
20
then it shall come to pass if the anger of the king shall arise, and he shall say to thee, Why did ye draw nigh to the city to fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from off the wall?
Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerobaal son of Ner? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from above the wall, and he died in Thamasi? why did ye draw near to the wall? then thou shalt say, Thy servant Urias the Chettite is also dead.
22
И҆ и҆́де посо́лъ і҆ѡа́вль къ царю̀ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, и҆ прїи́де, и҆ возвѣстѝ даві́дꙋ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка глаго́ла є҆мꙋ̀ і҆ѡа́въ, всѧ̑ глаго́лы бра́ни. И҆ разгнѣ́васѧ даві́дъ на і҆ѡа́ва и҆ речѐ къ послꙋ̀: почто̀ прибли́жистесѧ ко гра́дꙋ би́тисѧ; не вѣ́дасте ли, ꙗ҆́кѡ ꙗ҆́звени бꙋ́дете со стѣны̀; кто̀ оу҆бѝ а҆вїмеле́ха сы́на і҆ероваа́лѧ; не жена́ ли ве́рже на́нь оу҆ло́мокъ же́рнова со стѣны̀, и҆ оу҆́мре въ ѳама́сѣ; почто̀ прибли́жистесѧ къ стѣнѣ̀;
22
And the messenger of Joab went to the king to Jerusalem, and he came and reported to David all that Joab told him, all the affairs of the war. And David was very angry with Joab, and said to the messenger, Why did ye draw nigh to the wall to fight? knew ye not that ye would be wounded from off the wall? Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast upon him a piece of millstone from the wall, and he died in Thamasi? why did ye draw near to the wall?
23
И҆ речѐ посо́лъ къ даві́дꙋ: ꙗ҆́кѡ оу҆крѣпи́шасѧ на ны̀ мꙋ́жїе и҆ и҆зыдо́ша на ны̀ на село̀, и҆ гони́хомъ ѧ҆̀ до вра́тъ гра́да:
23
And the messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and they came out against us into the field, and we came upon them even to the door of the gate.
24
и҆ стрѣлѧ́ша стрѣлцы̀ со стѣны̀ на рабы̑ твоѧ̑, и҆ оу҆мро́ша ѿ ѻ҆́трѡкъ ца́рскихъ, и҆ ра́бъ тво́й оу҆рі́а хетте́анинъ оу҆́мре.
24
And the archers shot at thy servants from off the wall, and some of the king's servants died, and thy servant Urias the Chettite is dead also.
25
И҆ речѐ даві́дъ къ послꙋ̀: си́це да рече́ши ко і҆ѡа́вꙋ: да не бꙋ́детъ ѕло̀ пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма твои́ма сло́во сїѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆вогда̀ оу҆́бѡ си́це, ѻ҆вогда́ же и҆на́кѡ поѧда́етъ ме́чь: оу҆крѣпѝ бра́нь твою̀ на гра́дъ, и҆ раскопа́й и҆̀: и҆ оу҆крѣпѝ є҆го̀.
25
And David said to the messenger, Thus shalt thou say to Joab, Let not the matter be grievous in thine eyes, for the sword devours one way at one time and another way at another: strengthen thine array against the city, and destroy it, and strengthen him.
And the time of mourning expired, and David sent and took her into his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son: but the thing which David did was evil in the eyes of the Lord.
But the poor man had only one little ewe lamb, which he had purchased, and preserved, and reared; and it grew up with himself and his children in common; it ate of his bread and drank of his cup, and slept in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.
4
и҆ прїи́де нѣ́кто съ пꙋтѝ къ мꙋ́жꙋ бога́томꙋ, и҆ не восхотѣ̀ взѧ́ти ѿ ста́дъ свои́хъ и҆ ѿ бꙋ́йволицъ свои́хъ на сотворе́нїе ѡ҆бѣ́да пꙋ́тникꙋ прише́дшꙋ къ немꙋ̀: но взѧ̀ а҆́гницꙋ оу҆бо́гагѡ, и҆ оу҆гото́ва ю҆̀ на ѡ҆бѣ́дъ мꙋ́жꙋ прише́дшꙋ къ немꙋ̀.
4
And a traveller came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his flocks and of his herds, to dress for the traveller that came to him; and he took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that came to him.
And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man that has done this. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I anointed thee to be king over Israel, and I rescued thee out of the hand of Saul;
and I gave thee the house of thy lord, and the wives of thy lord into thy bosom, and I gave to thee the house of Israel and Juda; and if that had been little, I would have given thee yet more.
Why hast thou set at nought the word of the Lord, to do that which is evil in his eyes? thou hast slain Urias the Chettite with the sword, and thou hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and thou hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
Now therefore the sword shall not depart from thy house for ever, because thou hast set me at nought, and thou hast taken the wife of Urias the Chettite, to be thy wife.
Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against thee evil out of thy house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and will give them to thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
Only because thou hast given great occasion of provocation to the enemies of the Lord by this thing, thy son also that is born to thee shall surely die.
And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive we spoke to him, and he hearkened not to our voice; and how should we tell him that the child is dead?—so would he do himself harm.
And David understood that his servants were whispering, and David perceived that the child was dead: and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is dead.
Then David rose up from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his raiment, and went into the house of God, and worshipped him; and went into his own house, and called for bread to eat, and they set bread before him and he ate.
And his servants said to him, What is this thing that thou hast done concerning the child? while it was yet living thou didst fast, and weep, and watch: and when the child was dead thou didst rise up, and didst eat bread, and drink.
And David comforted Bersabee his wife, and he went in to her, and lay with her; and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
And he took the crown of Molchom their king from off his head, and the weight of it was a talent of gold, with precious stones, and it was upon the head of David; and he carried forth very much spoil of the city.
And he brought forth the people that were in it, and put them under the saw, and under iron harrows, and axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus he did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
And Amnon was distressed even to sickness, because of Themar his sister; for she was a virgin, and it seemed very difficult for Amnon to do anything to her.
And he said to him, What ails thee that thou art thus weak, O son of the king, morning by morning? wilt thou not tell me? and Amnon said, I love Themar the sister of my brother Abessalom.
5
И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆ѡнада́въ: лѧ́зи на посте́ли твое́й и҆ разболи́сѧ, и҆ вни́детъ ѻ҆те́цъ тво́й ви́дѣти тѧ̀, и҆ рече́ши къ немꙋ̀: да прїи́детъ нн҃ѣ ѳама́рь сестра̀ моѧ̀, и҆ да мѝ да́стъ ꙗ҆́сти, и҆ да сотвори́тъ пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма мои́ма снѣ́дь, да оу҆ви́ждꙋ и҆ вкꙋшꙋ̀ ѿ рꙋ́къ є҆ѧ̀.
5
And Jonadab said to him, Lie upon thy bed, and make thyself sick, and thy father shall come in to see thee; and thou shalt say to him, Let, I pray thee, Themar my sister come, and feed me with morsels, and let her prepare food before my eyes, that I may see and eat at her hands.
So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick; and the king came in to see him: and Amnon said to the king, Let, I pray thee, my sister Themar come to me, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, and I will eat them at her hand.
And Themar went to the house of her brother Amnon, and he was lying down: and she took the dough and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
And she took the frying-pan and poured them out before him, but he would not eat. And Amnon said, Send out every man from about me. And they removed every man from about him.
10
И҆ речѐ а҆мнѡ́нъ къ ѳама́рѣ: внеси́ ми снѣ́дь во внꙋ́треннюю хра́минꙋ, и҆ ꙗ҆́мъ ѿ рꙋкꙋ̀ твоє́ю. И҆ взѧ̀ ѳама́рь прѧ̑жма, ꙗ҆̀же и҆спечѐ, и҆ внесѐ а҆мнѡ́нꙋ бра́тꙋ своемꙋ̀ во внꙋ́треннюю хра́минꙋ,
10
And Amnon said to Themar, Bring in the food into the closet, and I will eat of thy hand. And Themar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to her brother Amnon into the chamber.
11
и҆ предста́ви є҆мꙋ̀ да ꙗ҆́стъ. И҆ ꙗ҆́тъ ю҆̀, и҆ речѐ є҆́й: грѧдѝ, лѧ́зи со мно́ю, сестро̀ моѧ̀.
11
And she brought them to him to eat, and he caught hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.
12
И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: нѝ, бра́те мо́й, не ѡ҆брꙋга́й менѐ, поне́же не сотвори́тсѧ та́кѡ во і҆и҃ли, не сотворѝ безꙋ́мїѧ сегѡ̀:
12
And she said to him, Nay, my brother, do not humble me, for it ought not to be so done in Israel; do not this folly.
13
и҆ а҆́зъ ка́мѡ скры́ю безче́стїе моѐ; и҆ ты̀ бꙋ́деши ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆ди́нъ ѿ безꙋ́мныхъ во і҆и҃ли: и҆ нн҃ѣ глаго́ли къ царю̀, да не ѿлꙋчи́тъ менѐ ѿ тебє̀.
13
And I, whither shall I remove my reproach? and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. And now, speak, I pray thee, to the king, for surely he will not keep me from thee.
Then Amnon hated her with very great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her, for the last wickedness was greater than the first: and Amnon said to her, Rise, and begone.
And Themar spoke to him concerning this great mischief, greater, said she, than the other that thou didst me, to send me away: but Amnon would not hearken to her voice.
And she had on her a variegated robe, for so were the king's daughters that were virgins attired in their apparel: and his servant led her forth, and shut the door after her.
19
И҆ взѧ̀ ѳама́рь пе́пелъ, и҆ насы́па на главꙋ̀ свою̀, и҆ ѻ҆де́ждꙋ и҆спещре́ннꙋю растерза̀ на себѣ̀, и҆ возложѝ рꙋ́цѣ своѝ на главꙋ̀ свою̀, и҆ и҆дꙋ́щи и҆дѧ́ше и҆ вопїѧ́ше.
19
And Themar took ashes, and put them on her head; and she rent the variegated garment that was upon her: and she laid her hands on her head, and went crying continually.
And Abessalom her brother said to her, Has thy brother Amnon been with thee? now then, my sister, be silent, for he is thy brother: be not careful to mention this matter. So Themar dwelt as a widow in the house of her brother Abessalom.
And king David heard of all these things, and was very angry; but he did not grieve the spirit of his son Amnon, because he loved him, for he was his first-born.
22
И҆ не глаго́ла а҆вессалѡ́мъ со а҆мнѡ́номъ ни ѡ҆ добрѣ̀, ни ѡ҆ ѕлѣ̀, поне́же возненави́дѣ а҆вессалѡ́мъ а҆мнѡ́на тогѡ̀ ра́ди, поне́же ѳама́рꙋ сестрꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆брꙋга́лъ.
22
And Abessalom spoke not to Amnon, good or bad, because Abessalom hated Amnon, on account of his humbling his sister Themar.
And it came to pass at the end of two whole years, that they were shearing sheep for Abessalom in Belasor near Ephraim: and Abessalom invited all the king's sons.
And Abessalom came to the king, and said, Behold, thy servant has a sheep-shearing; let now the king and his servants go with thy servant.
25
И҆ речѐ ца́рь ко а҆вессалѡ́мꙋ: нѝ, сы́не мо́й, да не по́йдемъ всѝ мы̀, и҆ да не ѡ҆тѧготи́мъ тѧ̀. И҆ нꙋжда́ше є҆го̀: и҆ не восхотѣ̀ (ца́рь) и҆тѝ, и҆ благословѝ є҆го̀.
25
And the king said to Abessalom, Nay, my son, let us not all go, and let us not be burdensome to thee. And he pressed him; but he would not go, but blessed him.
And Abessalom charged his servants, saying, Mark when the heart of Amnon shall be merry with wine, and I shall say to you, Smite Amnon, and slay him: fear not; for is it not I that command you? Be courageous, and be valiant.
And the servants of Abessalom did to Amnon as Abessalom commanded them: and all the sons of the king rose up, and they mounted every man his mule, and fled.
30
И҆ бы́сть, сꙋ́щымъ и҆̀мъ на пꙋтѝ, и҆ слꙋ́хъ до́йде до даві́да, глаго́лѧ: и҆збѝ а҆вессалѡ́мъ всѧ̑ сы́ны царє́вы, и҆ не и҆збы́сть ѿ ни́хъ ни є҆ди́нъ.
30
And it came to pass, when they were in the way, that a report came to David, saying, Abessalom has slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay upon the ground: and all his servants that were standing round him rent their garments.
32
И҆ речѐ і҆ѡнада́въ, сы́нъ самаа̀ бра́та даві́дова, и҆ речѐ: да не рече́тъ господи́нъ мо́й ца́рь, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ̑ ѻ҆́троки сы́ны царє́вы оу҆бѝ, но а҆мнѡ́нъ є҆́сть є҆ди́нъ оу҆бїе́нъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ то́й и҆з̾ оу҆́стъ а҆вессалѡ́мꙋ не и҆схожда́ше, ѿне́лѣже ѡ҆брꙋга̀ сестрꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ ѳама́рꙋ:
32
And Jonadab the son of Samaa brother of David, answered and said, Let not my lord the king say that he has slain all the young men the sons of the king, for Amnon only of them all is dead; for he was appointed to death by the mouth of Abessalom from the day that he humbled his sister Themar.
33
и҆ нн҃ѣ да не полага́етъ господи́нъ мо́й ца́рь словесѐ на се́рдцы свое́мъ, глаго́лѧ: всѝ сы́нове царє́вы оу҆мро́ша: ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆мнѡ́нъ є҆ди́нъ оу҆́мре.
33
And now let not my lord the king take the matter to heart, saying, All the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only of them all is dead.
And Abessalom escaped: and the young man the watchman lifted up his eyes, and looked; and, behold, much people went in the way behind him from the side of the mountain in the descent: and the watchman came and told the king, and said, I have seen men by the way of Oronen, by the side of the mountain.
35
И҆ речѐ і҆ѡнада́въ ко царю̀: сѐ, сы́нове царє́вы прихо́дѧтъ: по словесѝ раба̀ твоегѡ̀, та́кѡ бы́сть.
35
And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons are present: according to the word of thy servant, so has it happened.
And it came to pass when he had finished speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voices and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept with a very great weeping.
And Joab sent to Thecoe, and took thence a cunning woman, and said to her, Mourn, I pray thee, and put on mourning apparel, and anoint thee not with oil, and thou shalt be as a woman mourning for one that is dead thus for many days.
3
и҆ вни́деши ко царю̀ и҆ рече́ши къ немꙋ̀ по глаго́лꙋ семꙋ̀. И҆ положѝ і҆ѡа́въ словеса̀ своѧ̑ во оу҆ста̀ є҆ѧ̀.
3
And thou shalt go to the king, and speak to him according to this word. And Joab put the words in her mouth.
4
И҆ вни́де жена̀ ѳекѡі́тѧнынѧ ко царю̀ и҆ падѐ на лицы̀ свое́мъ на зе́млю, и҆ поклони́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ речѐ: спасѝ, царю̀, спаси́ мѧ.
4
So the woman of Thecoe went in to the king and fell upon her face to the earth, and did him obeisance, and said, Help, O king, help.
5
И҆ речѐ є҆́й ца́рь: что́ ти є҆́сть; Ѻ҆на́ же речѐ: и҆зда́вна вдова̀ жена̀ а҆́зъ є҆́смь, и҆ оу҆́мре мꙋ́жъ мо́й:
5
And the king said to her, What is the matter with thee? And she said, I am indeed a widow woman, and my husband is dead.
6
и҆ рабѣ̀ твое́й два̀ сы̑на, и҆ би́стасѧ ѻ҆́ба на селѣ̀, и҆ не бы́сть кто́ бы и҆̀хъ разлꙋчи́лъ, и҆ нападѐ є҆ди́нъ на бра́та своего̀, и҆ оу҆мертвѝ є҆го̀:
6
And moreover thy handmaid had two sons, and they fought together in the field, and there was no one to part them; and the one smote the other his brother, and slew him.
And behold the whole family rose up against thine handmaid, and they said, Give up the one that smote his brother, and we will put him to death for the life of his brother, whom he slew, and we will take away even your heir: so they will quench my coal that is left, so as not to leave my husband remnant or name on the face of the earth.
And she said, Let now the king remember concerning his Lord God in that the avenger of blood is multiplied to destroy, and let them not take away my son. And he said, As the Lord lives, not a hair of thy son shall fall to the ground.
12
И҆ речѐ жена̀: да глаго́летъ нн҃ѣ раба̀ твоѧ̀ ко господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀ царю̀ сло́во. Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: глаго́ли.
12
And the woman said, Let now thy servant speak a word to my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
And the woman said, Why hast thou devised this thing against the people of God? or is this word out of the king's mouth as a transgression, so that the king should not bring back his banished?
For we shall surely die, and be as water poured upon the earth, which shall not be gathered up, and God shall take the life, even as he devises to thrust forth from him his outcast.
And now whereas I came to speak this word to my lord the king, the reason is that the people will see me, and thy handmaid will say, Let one now speak to my lord the king, if peradventure the king will perform the request of his handmaid;
And the woman said, If now the word of my lord the king be gracious,—well: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king, to hear good and evil: and the Lord thy God shall be with thee.
And the king answered, and said to the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the matter which I ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king by all means speak.
And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab in all this matter with thee? and the woman said to the king, As thy soul lives, my lord, O king, there is no turning to the right hand or to the left from all that my lord the king has spoken; for thy servant Joab himself charged me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid.
20
за є҆́же прїитѝ лицꙋ̀ глаго́ла сегѡ̀, є҆́же сотворѝ ра́бъ тво́й і҆ѡа́въ сло́во сїѐ: господи́нъ же мо́й ца́рь мꙋ́дръ, ꙗ҆́коже мꙋ́дрость а҆́гг҃ла бж҃їѧ, є҆́же разꙋмѣ́ти всѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же на землѝ.
20
In order that this form of speech might come about it was that thy servant Joab has framed this matter: and my lord is wise as is the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.
21
И҆ речѐ ца́рь ко і҆ѡа́вꙋ: сѐ, нн҃ѣ сотвори́хъ тѝ по словесѝ твоемꙋ̀ семꙋ̀: и҆дѝ, возвратѝ ѻ҆́трока а҆вессалѡ́ма.
21
And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done to thee according to this thy word: go, bring back the young man Abessalom.
And Joab fell on his face to the ground, and did obeisance, and blessed the king: and Joab said, To-day thy servant knows that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, for my lord the king has performed the request of his servant.
And when he polled his head, (and it was at the beginning of every year that he polled it, because it grew heavy upon him,) even when he polled it, he weighed the hair of his head, two hundred shekels according to the royal shekel.
And there were born to Abessalom three sons and one daughter, and her name was Themar: she was a very beautiful woman, and she becomes the wife of Roboam son of Solomon, and she bears to him Abia.
28
И҆ сѣдѧ́ше а҆вессалѡ́мъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ два̀ лѣ̑та дні́й, и҆ лица̀ царе́ва не ви́дѣ.
28
And Abessalom remained in Jerusalem two full years, and he saw not the king's face.
29
И҆ посла̀ а҆вессалѡ́мъ ко і҆ѡа́вꙋ, дабы̀ посла́ти є҆го̀ ко царю̀, и҆ не восхотѣ̀ прїитѝ къ немꙋ̀: и҆ посла̀ второ́е къ немꙋ̀, и҆ не восхотѣ̀ прїитѝ.
29
And Abessalom sent to Joab to bring him in to the king, and he would not come to him: and he sent to him the second time, and he would not come.
And Abessalom said to his servants, Behold, Joab's portion in the field is next to mine, and he has in it barley; go and set it on fire. And the servants of Abessalom set the field on fire: and the servants of Joab come to him with their clothes rent, and they said to him, The servants of Abessalom have set the field on fire.
And Joab arose, and came to Abessalom into the house, and said to him, Why have thy servants set my field on fire?
32
И҆ речѐ а҆вессалѡ́мъ ко і҆ѡа́вꙋ: сѐ, посыла́хъ къ тебѣ̀, глаго́лѧ: и҆дѝ сѣ́мѡ, и҆ послю́ тѧ ко царю̀, глаго́лѧ: почто̀ прїидо́хъ и҆з̾ гедсꙋ́ра; лꙋ́чше мѝ бѣ̀ бы́ти є҆щѐ та́мѡ: и҆ нн҃ѣ сѐ, лица̀ царе́ва не ви́дѣхъ: а҆́ще же є҆́сть во мнѣ̀ непра́вда, то̀ оу҆мертви́ мѧ.
32
And Abessalom said to Joab, Behold, I sent to thee, saying, Come hither, and I will send thee to the king, saying, Why did I come out of Gedsur? it would have been better for me to have remained there: and now, behold, I have not seen the face of the king; but if there is iniquity in me, then put me to death.
And Joab went in to the king, and brought him word: and he called Abessalom, and he went in to the king, and did him obeisance, and fell upon his face to the ground, even in the presence of the king; and the king kissed Abessalom.
And Abessalom rose early, and stood by the side of the way of the gate: and it came to pass that every man who had a cause, came to the king for judgment, and Abessalom cried to him, and said to him, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
And Abessalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, When ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then shall ye say, Abessalom is become king in Chebron.
11
И҆ и҆до́ша со а҆вессалѡ́момъ двѣ́сти мꙋже́й ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма по́звани: и҆ и҆дѧ́хꙋ въ простотѣ̀ свое́й, и҆ не разꙋмѣ́ша всѧ́кагѡ глаго́ла.
11
And there went with Abessalom two hundred chosen men from Jerusalem; and they went in their simplicity, and knew not anything.
And Abessalom sent to Achitophel the Theconite, the counsellor of David, from his city, from Gola, where he was sacrificing: and there was a strong conspiracy; and the people with Abessalom were increasingly numerous.
And there came a messenger to David, saying, The heart of the men of Israel is gone after Abessalom.
14
И҆ речѐ даві́дъ всѣ̑мъ ѻ҆трокѡ́мъ свои̑мъ сꙋ́щымъ съ ни́мъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ: воста́ните, и҆ бѣжи́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть на́мъ спасе́нїѧ ѿ лица̀ а҆вессалѡ́млѧ: оу҆скори́те и҆тѝ, да не оу҆скори́тъ и҆ во́зметъ на́съ, и҆ наведе́тъ на на́съ ѕло́бꙋ, и҆ и҆збїе́тъ гра́дъ ѻ҆́стрїемъ меча̀.
14
And David said to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem, Rise, and let us flee, for we have no refuge from Abessalom: make haste and go, lest he overtake us speedily, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
And all his servants passed on by his side, and every Chelethite, and every Phelethite, and they stood by the olive tree in the wilderness: and all the people marched near him, and all his court, and all the men of might, and all the men of war, six hundred: and they were present at his side: and every Chelethite, and every Phelethite, and all the six hundred Gittites that came on foot out of Geth, and they went on before the king.
And the king said to Ethi the Gittite, Why dost thou also go with us? return, and dwell with the king, for thou art a stranger, and thou hast come forth as a sojourner out of thy place.
Whereas thou camest yesterday, shall I to-day cause thee to travel with us, and shalt thou thus change thy place? thou didst come forth yesterday, and to-day shall I set thee in motion to go along with us? I indeed will go whithersoever I may go: return then, and cause thy brethren to return with thee, and may the Lord deal mercifully and truly with thee.
And Ethi answered the king and said, As the Lord lives and as my lord the king lives, in the place wheresoever my lord shall be, whether it be for death or life, there shall thy servant be.
And the king said to Ethi, Come and pass over with me. So Ethi the Gittite and the king passed over, and all his servants, and all the multitude with him.
And all the country wept with a loud voice. And all the people passed by over the brook of Kedron; and the king crossed the brook Kedron: and all the people and the king passed on toward the way of the wilderness.
And behold also Sadoc, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Bæthar: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had passed out of the city.
And the king said to Sadoc, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I should find favour in the eyes of the Lord, then will he bring me back, and he will shew me it and its beauty.
26
и҆ а҆́ще та́кѡ рече́тъ: не благоволи́хъ въ тебѣ̀: сѐ, а҆́зъ є҆́смь, да сотвори́тъ мѝ по бл҃го́мꙋ пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма свои́ма.
26
But if he should say thus, I have no pleasure in thee; behold, here I am, let him do to me according to that which is good in his eyes.
And the king said to Sadoc the priest, Behold, thou shalt return to the city in peace, and Achimaas thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar, your two sons with you.
And David went up by the ascent of the mount of Olives, ascending and weeping, and had his head covered, and went barefooted: and all the people that were with him covered every man his head; and they went up, ascending and weeping.
And it was reported to David, saying, Achitophel also is among the conspirators with Abessalom. And David said, O Lord my God, disconcert, I pray thee, the counsel of Achitophel.
32
И҆ бѣ̀ даві́дъ грѧды́й да́же до рѡ́са, и҆дѣ́же поклони́сѧ бг҃ꙋ. И҆ сѐ, на срѣ́тенїе є҆мꙋ̀ (и҆зы́де) хꙋсі́й пе́рвый дрꙋ́гъ даві́довъ, растерза́въ ри̑зы своѧ̑, и҆ пе́рсть на главѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀.
32
And David came as far as Ros, where he worshipped God: and behold, Chusi the chief friend of David came out to meet him, having rent his garment, and earth was upon his head.
And David said to him, If thou shouldest go over with me, then wilt thou be a burden to me;
34
а҆́ще же возврати́шисѧ во гра́дъ и҆ рече́ши а҆вессалѡ́мꙋ: минꙋ́ша бра́тїѧ твоѧ̑, и҆ ца́рь за мно́ю минꙋ̀ ѻ҆те́цъ тво́й, и҆ нн҃ѣ ра́бъ тво́й є҆́смь, царю̀, пощади́ мѧ жи́ва бы́ти: ра́бъ бѣ́хъ ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ тогда̀ и҆ досе́лѣ, нн҃ѣ же а҆́зъ тво́й ра́бъ: и҆ разрꙋши́ ми совѣ́тъ а҆хїтофе́левъ:
34
but if thou shall return to the city, and shalt say to Abessalom, Thy brethren are passed over, and the king thy father is passed over after me: and now I am thy servant, O king, suffer me to live: at one time even of late I was the servant of thy father, and now I am thy humble servant—so shalt thou disconcert for me the counsel of Achitophel.
And, behold, there are there with thee Sadoc and Abiathar the priests; and it shall be that every word that thou shalt hear of the house of the king, thou shalt report it to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests.
Behold, there are there with them their two sons, Achimaas the son of Sadoc, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar; and by them ye shall report to me every word which ye shall hear.
37
И҆ вни́де хꙋсі́й дрꙋ́гъ даві́довъ во гра́дъ, и҆ а҆вессалѡ́мъ тогда̀ вхожда́ше во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ.
37
So Chusi the friend of David went into the city, and Abessalom was lately gone into Jerusalem.
And David passed on a little way from Ros; and, behold, Siba the servant of Memphibosthe came to meet him; and he had a couple of asses laden, and upon them two hundred loaves, and a hundred bunches of raisins, and a hundred cakes of dates, and a bottle of wine.
And the king said to Siba, What meanest thou by these? and Siba said, The asses are for the household of the king to sit upon, and the loaves and the dates are for the young men to eat, and the wine is for them that are faint in the wilderness to drink.
And the king said, And where is the son of thy master? and Siba said to the king, Behold, he remains in Jerusalem; for he said, To-day shall the house of Israel restore to me the kingdom of my father.
And the king said to Siba, Behold, all Memphibosthe's property is thine. And Siba did obeisance and said, My lord, O king, let me find grace in thine eyes.
5
И҆ прїи́де даві́дъ ца́рь до ваѳїрі́ма, и҆ сѐ, ѿтꙋ́дꙋ мꙋ́жъ и҆схожда́ше ѿ ро́да до́мꙋ саꙋ́лѧ, и҆́мѧ же є҆мꙋ̀ семе́й сы́нъ гира́нь: и҆зы́де же и҆сходѧ̀ и҆ проклина́ѧ
5
And king David came to Baurim; and, behold, there came out from thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, and his name was Semei the son of Gera. He came forth and cursed as he went,
and cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on the right and left hand of the king.
The Lord has returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, because thou hast reigned in his stead; and the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of Abessalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.
And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Saruia? even let him alone, and so let him curse, for the Lord has told him to curse David: and who shall say, Why hast thou done thus?
And David said to Abessa and to all his servants, Behold, my son who came forth out of my bowels seeks my life; still more now may the son of Benjamin: let him curse, because the Lord has told him.
12
не́гли при́зритъ гдⷭ҇ь на смире́нїе моѐ, и҆ возврати́тъ мѝ блага̑ѧ вмѣ́стѡ клѧ́твы є҆гѡ̀ во дне́шнїй де́нь.
12
If by any means the Lord may look on my affliction, thus shall he return me good for his cursing this day.
And David and all the men with him went on the way: and Semei went by the side of the hill next to him, cursing as he went, and casting stones at him, and sprinkling him with dirt.
And Achitophel said to Abessalom, Go in to thy father's concubines, whom he left to keep his house; and all Israel shall hear that thou hast dishonoured thy father; and the hands of all that are with thee shall be strengthened.
And the counsel of Achitophel, which he counselled in former days, was as if one should enquire of the word of God: so was all the counsel of Achitophel both to David and also to Abessalom.
and I will come upon him when he is weary and weak-handed, and I will strike him with terror; and all the people with him shall flee, and I will smite the king only of all.
And I will bring back all the people to thee, as a bride returns to her husband: only thou seekest the life of one man, and all the people shall have peace.
And Abessalom said, Call now also Chusi the Arachite, and let us hear what is in his mouth, even in his also.
6
И҆ вни́де хꙋсі́й ко а҆вессалѡ́мꙋ, и҆ речѐ а҆вессалѡ́мъ къ немꙋ̀, глаго́лѧ: по глаго́лꙋ семꙋ̀ глаго́ла а҆хїтофе́лъ: сотвори́мъ ли по словесѝ є҆гѡ̀; а҆́ще же нѝ, ты̀ глаго́ли.
6
And Chusi went in to Abessalom, and Abessalom spoke to him, saying, After this manner spoke Achitophel: shall we do according to his word? but if not, do thou speak.
7
И҆ речѐ хꙋсі́й ко а҆вессалѡ́мꙋ: не бла́гъ совѣ́тъ се́й, є҆го́же совѣща̀ а҆хїтофе́лъ є҆ди́ною сїѐ.
7
And Chusi said to Abessalom, This counsel which Achitophel has counselled this one time is not good.
And Chusi said, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are very mighty, and bitter in their spirit, as a bereaved bear in the field, and as a wild boar in the plain: and thy father is a man of war, and will not give the people rest.
9
сѐ бо, то́й нн҃ѣ скры́сѧ на нѣ́которѣмъ хо́лмѣ и҆лѝ на нѣ́которѣмъ мѣ́стѣ: и҆ бꙋ́детъ внегда̀ напа́сти на ни́хъ въ нача́лѣ, и҆ оу҆слы́шитъ слꙋ́шаѧй, и҆ рече́тъ: бы́сть сокрꙋше́нїе въ лю́дехъ и҆̀же за а҆вессалѡ́момъ:
9
For, behold, he is now hidden in one of the hills or in some other place: and it shall come to pass when he falls upon them at the beginning, that some one will certainly hear, and say, There has been a slaughter among the people that follow after Abessalom.
Then even he that is strong, whose heart is as the heart of a lion,—it shall utterly melt: for all Israel knows that thy father is mighty, and they that are with him are mighty men.
11
та́кѡ совѣ́тꙋѧ а҆́зъ оу҆совѣ́товахъ, и҆ собира́ѧсѧ собере́тсѧ къ тебѣ̀ ве́сь і҆и҃ль ѿ да́на и҆ до вирсаві́и, а҆́ки песо́къ и҆́же при мо́ри во мно́жествѣ, и҆ лицѐ твоѐ и҆дꙋ́щее посредѣ̀ и҆́хъ:
11
For thus I have surely given counsel, that all Israel be generally gathered to thee from Dan even to Bersabee, as the sand that is upon the sea-shore for multitude: and that thy presence go in the midst of them.
12
и҆ прїи́демъ къ немꙋ̀ на є҆ди́но мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же ѡ҆брѧ́щемъ є҆го̀ та́мѡ, и҆ ѡ҆полчи́мсѧ на него̀, ꙗ҆́коже спа́даетъ роса̀ на зе́млю, и҆ не ѡ҆ста́вимъ въ не́мъ и҆ въ мꙋже́хъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ нѝ є҆ди́нагѡ:
12
And we will come upon him in one of the places where we shall find him, and we will encamp against him, as the dew falls upon the earth; and we will not leave of him and of his men so much as one.
13
и҆ а҆́ще во гра́дъ соберꙋ́тсѧ, и҆ во́зметъ ве́сь і҆и҃ль ко гра́дꙋ томꙋ̀ оу҆́жы, и҆ совлече́мъ є҆го̀ въ пото́къ, до́ндеже не ѡ҆ста́нетсѧ та́мѡ нижѐ ка́мень.
13
And if he shall have taken refuge with his army in a city, then shall all Israel take ropes to that city, and we will draw it even into the river, that there may not be left there even a stone.
And Abessalom, and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Chusi the Arachite is better than the counsel of Achitophel. For the Lord ordained to disconcert the good counsel of Achitophel, that the Lord might bring all evil upon Abessalom.
And Chusi the Arachite said to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus Achitophel counselled Abessalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
16
и҆ нн҃ѣ посли́те ско́рѡ и҆ возвѣсти́те даві́дꙋ, глаго́люще: не пребꙋ́ди но́щь сїю̀ во а҆равѡ́ѳѣ пꙋсты́ни, но пойтѝ потщи́сѧ, да не ка́кѡ поже́ртъ бꙋ́детъ ца́рь и҆ всѝ лю́дїе и҆̀же съ ни́мъ.
16
And now send quickly and report to David, saying, Lodge not this night in Araboth of the wilderness: even go and make haste, lest one swallow up the king, and all the people with him.
17
И҆ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ и҆ а҆хїмаа́съ стоѧ́ста на стꙋденцѣ̀ рѡги́ли, и҆ и҆́де рабы́нѧ и҆ повѣ́да и҆́ма: и҆ ті́и и҆до́ста и҆ возвѣсти́ста даві́дꙋ царю̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ не мого́ста ꙗ҆ви́тисѧ є҆́же вни́ти во гра́дъ.
17
And Jonathan and Achimaas stood by the well of Rogel, and a maid-servant went and reported to them, and they go and tell king David; for they might not be seen to enter into the city.
But a young man saw them and told Abessalom: and the two went quickly, and entered into the house of a man in Baurim; and he had a well in his court, and they went down into it.
19
И҆ взѧ̀ жена̀, и҆ положѝ покро́въ на оу҆́стїи ро́ва, и҆ сꙋ́ши на не́мъ а҆рафѡ́ѳъ, и҆ не позна́сѧ глаго́лъ.
19
And a woman took a covering, and spread it over the mouth of the well, and spread out ground corn upon it to dry, and the thing was not known.
And the servants of Abessalom came to the woman into the house, and said, Where are Achimaas and Jonathan? and the woman said to them, They are gone a little way beyond the water. And they sought and found them not, and returned to Jerusalem.
21
Бы́сть же по ѿше́ствїи и҆́хъ, и҆ и҆злѣзо́ста и҆з̾ ро́ва, и҆ и҆до́ста, и҆ возвѣсти́ста даві́дꙋ царю̀ и҆ глаго́ласта є҆мꙋ̀: воста́ните, и҆ прейди́те ско́рѡ во́дꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ си́це совѣща̀ на вы̀ а҆хїтофе́лъ.
21
And it came to pass after they were gone, that they came up out of the pit, and went on their way; and reported to king David, and said to David, Arise ye and go quickly over the water, for thus has Achitophel counselled concerning you.
22
И҆ воста̀ даві́дъ и҆ всѝ лю́дїе и҆̀же съ ни́мъ и҆ преидо́ша і҆ѻрда́нъ до свѣ́та заꙋ́тра, и҆ ни є҆ди́нъ не ѡ҆ста̀, и҆́же бы не преше́лъ і҆ѻрда́на.
22
And David rose up and all the people with him, and they passed over Jordan till the morning light; there was not one missing who did not pass over Jordan.
And Achitophel saw that his counsel was not followed, and he saddled his ass, and rose and departed to his house into his city; and he gave orders to his household, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
And Abessalom appointed Amessai in the room of Joab over the host. And Amessai was the son of a man whose name was Jether of Jezrael: he went in to Abigaia the daughter of Naas, the sister of Saruia the mother of Joab.
And it came to pass when David came to Manaim, that Uesbi the son of Naas of Rabbath of the sons of Ammon, and Machir son of Amiel of Lodabar, and Berzelli the Galaadite of Rogellim,
brought ten embroidered beds, (with double coverings,) and ten caldrons, and earthenware, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and meal, and beans, and pulse,
and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheeses of kine: and they brought them to David and to his people with him to eat; for one said, The people is faint and hungry and thirsty in the wilderness.
And David sent away the people, the third part under the hand of Joab, and the third part under the hand of Abessa the son of Saruia, the brother of Joab, and the third part under the hand of Ethi the Gittite. And David said to the people, I also will surely go out with you.
3
И҆ рѣ́ша: не и҆зы́ди, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́ще бѣ́гствомъ побѣ́гнемъ, не положа́тъ на на́съ се́рдца: и҆ а҆́ще оу҆́мремъ по́лъ на́съ, не положа́тъ на на́съ се́рдца, поне́же ты̀ а҆́ки мы̀ де́сѧть ты́сѧщъ: и҆ нн҃ѣ лꙋ́чше, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ста́неши во гра́дѣ на по́мощь на́мъ.
3
And they said, Thou shalt not go out: for if we should indeed flee, they will not care for us; and if half of us should die, they will not mind us; for thou art as ten thousand of us: and now it is well that thou shalt be to us an aid to help us in the city.
And the king said to them, Whatsoever shall seem good in your eyes I will do. And the king stood by the side of the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.
And the king commanded Joab and Abessa and Ethi, saying, Spare for my sake the young man Abessalom. And all the people heard the king charging all the commanders concerning Abessalom.
And the battle there was scattered over the face of all the land: and the wood consumed more of the people than the sword consumed among the people in that day.
9
И҆ набѣжа̀ а҆вессалѡ́мъ на ѻ҆́троки даві́дѡвы: а҆вессалѡ́мъ же бѣ̀ сѣдѧ́й на мскѣ̀ свое́мъ, и҆ вбѣжа̀ (съ ни́мъ) ме́скъ въ ча́щꙋ дꙋ́ба вели́кагѡ, и҆ ѡ҆бви́шасѧ власы̀ главы̀ є҆гѡ̀ на дꙋ́бѣ, и҆ пови́сѣ междꙋ̀ не́бомъ и҆ земле́ю, ме́скъ же под̾ ни́мъ про́йде.
9
And Abessalom went to meet the servants of David: and Abessalom was mounted on his mule, and the mule came under the thick boughs of a great oak; and his head was entangled in the oak, and he was suspended between heaven and earth; and the mule passed on from under him.
And Joab said to the man who reported it to him, And, behold, thou didst see him: why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten pieces of silver, and a girdle.
And the man said to Joab, Were I even to receive a thousand shekels of silver, I would not lift my hand against the king's son; for in our ears the king charged thee and Abessa and Ethi, saying, Take care of the young man Abessalom for me,
13
не сотвори́ти дꙋшѝ є҆гѡ̀ непра́вды: и҆ всѧ́ко сло́во не оу҆таи́тсѧ пред̾ царе́мъ, ты́ же стои́ши сопроти́внѡ.
13
so as to do no harm to his life: and nothing of the matter will be concealed from the king, and thou wilt set thyself against me.
And Joab said, I will begin this; I will not thus remain with thee. And Joab took three darts in his hand, and thrust them into the heart of Abessalom, while he was yet alive in the heart of the oak.
And he took Abessalom, and cast him into a great cavern in the wood, into a deep pit, and set up over him a very great heap of stones: and all Israel fled every man to his tent.
18
А҆вессалѡ́мъ же є҆щѐ жи́въ сы́й, взѧ̀ и҆ поста́ви себѣ̀ сто́лпъ во ю҆до́ли ца́рстѣй, рече́ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть мѝ сы́на на па́мѧть и҆́мене моегѡ̀: и҆ наречѐ сто́лпъ и҆́менемъ свои́мъ и҆ наречѐ є҆го̀ рꙋка̀ а҆вессалѡ́млѧ, да́же до дне́шнѧгѡ днѐ.
18
Now Abessalom while yet alive had taken and set up for himself the pillar near which he was taken, and set it up so as to have the pillar in the king's dale; for he said he had no son to keep his name in remembrance: and he called the pillar, Abessalom's hand, until this day.
And Achimaas the son of Sadoc said, Let me run now and carry glad tidings to the king, for the Lord has delivered him from the hand of his enemies.
20
И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆ѡа́въ: нѣ́си мꙋ́жъ ты̀ возвѣща́ѧй бла́го дне́сь, но возвѣсти́ши въ де́нь дрꙋгі́й: въ дне́шнїй же де́нь не добро̀ возвѣще́нїе, поне́же сы́нъ царе́въ оу҆́мре.
20
And Joab said to him, Thou shalt not be a messenger of glad tidings this day; thou shalt bear them another day; but on this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead.
And Achimaas the son of Sadoc said again to Joab, Nay, let me also run after Chusi. And Joab said, Why wouldest thou thus run, my son? attend, thou hast no tidings for profit if thou go.
And he said, Why should I not run? and Joab said to him, Run. And Achimaas ran along the way of Kechar, and outran Chusi.
24
Даві́дъ же сѣдѧ́ще посредѣ̀ двою̀ вра́тъ. И҆ и҆зы́де стра́жъ на кро́въ вра́тъ ко стѣнѣ̀, и҆ воздви́же ѻ҆́чи своѝ, и҆ ви́дѣ, и҆ сѐ, мꙋ́жъ текі́й є҆ди́нъ пред̾ ни́мъ.
24
And David was sitting between the two gates: and the watchman went up on the top of the gate of the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone before him.
And the watchman cried out, and reported to the king. And the king said, If he be alone, there are good tidings in his mouth. And the man came and drew near.
And the watchman saw another man running: and the watchman cried at the gate, and said, And look, another man running alone. And the king said, He also brings glad tidings.
And the watchman said, I see the running of the first as the running of Achimaas the son of Sadoc. And the king said, He is a good man, and will come to report glad tidings.
And Achimaas cried out and said to the king, Peace. And he did obeisance to the king with his face to the ground, and said, Blessed be the Lord thy God, who has delivered up the men that lifted up their hands against my lord the king.
And the king said, Is the young man Abessalom safe? and Achimaas said, I saw a great multitude at the time of Joab's sending the king's servant and thy servant, and I knew not what was there.
And, behold, Chusi came up, and said to the king, Let my lord the king hear glad tidings, for the Lord has avenged thee this day upon all them that rose up against thee.
And the king said to Chusi, Is it well with the young man Abessalom? and Chusi said, Let the enemies of my lord the king, and all whosoever have risen up against him for evil, be as that young man.
And the king was troubled, and went to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and thus he said as he went, My son Abessalom, my son, my son Abessalom; would God I had died for thee, even I had died for thee, Abessalom, my son, my son!
And Joab went in to the king, into the house, and said, Thou hast this day shamed the faces of all thy servants that have delivered thee this day, and have saved the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and of thy concubines,
forasmuch as thou lovest them that hate thee, and hatest them that love thee; and thou hast this day declared, that thy princes and thy servants are nothing in thy sight: for I know this day, that if Abessalom were alive, and all of us dead to-day, then it would have been right in thy sight.
And now arise, and go forth, and speak comfortably to thy servants; for I have sworn by the Lord, that unless thou wilt go forth to-day, there shall not a man remain with thee this night: and know for thyself, this thing will indeed be evil to thee beyond all the evil that has come upon thee from thy youth until now.
Then the king arose, and sat in the gate: and all the people reported, saying, Behold, the king sits in the gate. And all the people went in before the king to the gate; for Israel had fled every man to his tent.
10
а҆вессалѡ́мъ же, є҆го́же пома́захомъ над̾ на́ми, оу҆́мре на бра́ни: и҆ нн҃ѣ что̀ вы̀ молчи́те, є҆́же возврати́ти царѧ̀; И҆ глаго́лъ всегѡ̀ і҆и҃лѧ прїи́де ко царю̀.
10
And all the people disputed among all the tribes of Israel, saying, King David delivered us from all our enemies, and he rescued us from the hand of the Philistines: and now he has fled from the land, and from his kingdom, and from Abessalom.
And Abessalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle: and now why are ye silent about bringing back the king? And the word of all Israel came to the king.
And king David sent to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Israel, saying, Why are ye the last to bring back the king to his house? whereas the word of all Israel is come to the king to his house.
13
и҆ а҆месса́ю рцы́те: нѣ́си ли ко́сть моѧ̀ и҆ пло́ть моѧ̀ ты̀; и҆ нн҃ѣ сїѧ̑ мѝ да сотвори́тъ бг҃ъ и҆ сїѧ̑ да приложи́тъ, а҆́ще не бꙋ́деши кнѧ́зь си́лы предо мно́ю во всѧ̑ дни̑ вмѣ́стѡ і҆ѡа́ва.
13
Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh: why are ye the last to bring back the king to his house?
And ye shall say to Amessai, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? and now God do so to me, and more also, if thou shalt not be commander of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.
And the king returned, and came as far as Jordan. And the men of Juda came to Galgala on their way to meet the king, to cause the king to pass over Jordan.
And a thousand men of Benjamin were with him, and Siba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons with him, and his twenty servants with him: and they went directly down to Jordan before the king,
19
и҆ речѐ ко царю̀: да не вмѣни́тъ господи́нъ мо́й беззако́нїѧ, и҆ не помѧнѝ є҆ли̑ка непра́вдова ра́бъ тво́й въ де́нь ѡ҆́нъ, въ ѻ҆́ньже господи́нъ мо́й ца́рь и҆схожда́ше и҆з̾ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма, є҆́же содержа́ти царю̀ въ се́рдцы свое́мъ:
19
and they performed the service of bringing the king over; and there went over a ferry-boat to remove the household of the king, and to do that which was right in his eyes. And Semei the son of Gera fell on his face before the king, as he went over Jordan;
and said to the king, Let not my lord now impute iniquity, and remember not all the iniquity of thy servant in the day in which my lord went out from Jerusalem, so that the king should mind it.
21
И҆ ѿвѣща̀ а҆ве́сса сы́нъ сарꙋ́инъ и҆ речѐ: сегѡ̀ ли ра́ди не оу҆мертви́тсѧ семе́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ проклѧ̀ хрїста̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ;
21
For thy servant knows that I have sinned: and, behold, I am come to-day before all Israel and the house of Joseph, to go down and meet my lord the king.
And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Saruia, that ye as it were lie in wait against me this day? to-day no man in Israel shall be put to death, for I know not if I this day reign over Israel.
24
И҆ сѐ, мемфївосѳе́й сы́нъ і҆ѡнаѳа́на сы́на саꙋ́лѧ сни́де на срѣ́тенїе царю̀, и҆ не ѡ҆мы̀ но́гъ свои́хъ, и҆ не ѡ҆брѣ́за ногте́й, нижѐ оу҆пра́ви брады̀ своеѧ̀, и҆ ри́зъ свои́хъ не и҆змы̀ ѿ днѐ тогѡ̀, въ ѻ҆́ньже и҆зы́де ца́рь, до днѐ въ ѻ҆́ньже то́й возврати́сѧ съ ми́ромъ.
24
And the king said to Semei, Thou shalt not die: and the king swore to him.
25
И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ вни́де во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ на срѣ́тенїе царю̀, и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ ца́рь: что̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ не поше́лъ є҆сѝ со мно́ю, мемфївосѳе́е;
25
And Memphibosthe the son of Saul's son went down to meet the king, and had not dressed his feet, nor pared his nails, nor shaved himself, neither had he washed his garments, from the day that the king departed, until the day when he arrived in peace.
And Memphibosthe said to him, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said to him, Saddle me the ass, and I will ride upon it, and go with the king; for thy servant is lame.
And he has dealt deceitfully with thy servant to my lord the king: but my lord the king is as an angel of God, and do thou that which is good in thine eyes.
For all the house of my father were but as dead men before my lord the king; yet thou hast set thy servant among them that eat at thy table: and what right have I any longer even to cry to the king?
I am this day eighty years old: can I then distinguish between good and evil? Can thy servant taste any longer what I eat or drink? can I any longer hear the voice of singing men or singing women? and wherefore shall thy servant any longer be a burden to my lord the king?
Let, I pray thee, thy servant remain, and I will die in my city, by the tomb of my father and of my mother. And, behold, thy servant Chamaam shall go over with my lord the king; and do thou to him as it seems good in thine eyes.
And the king said, Let Chamaam go over with me, and I will do to him what is good in my sight; and whatsoever thou shalt choose at my hand, I will do for thee.
And the king went over to Galgala, and Chamaam went over with him: and all the men of Juda went over with the king, and also half the people of Israel.
And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, Why have our brethren the men of Juda stolen thee away, and caused the king and all his house to pass over Jordan, and all the men of David with him?
And all the men of Juda answered the men of Israel, and said, Because the king is near of kin to us: and why were you thus angry concerning this matter? have we indeed eaten of the king's food? or has he given us a gift, or has he sent us a portion?
And there was a transgressor so called there, and his name was Sabee, a Benjamite, the son of Bochori: and he blew the trumpet, and said, We have no portion in David, neither have we any inheritance in the son of Jessæ: to thy tents, O Israel, every one.
And all the men of Israel went up from following David after Sabee the son of Bochori: but the men of Juda adhered to their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
And David went into his house at Jerusalem: and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and he put them in a place of custody, and maintained them, and went not in to them; and they were kept living as widows, till the day of their death.
4
И҆ речѐ ца́рь ко а҆месса́ю: созови́ ми мꙋ́жы і҆ꙋ̑дины въ трѝ дни̑, ты́ же здѣ̀ ста́ни.
4
And the king said to Amessai, Call to me the men of Juda for three days, and do thou be present here.
And David said to Amessai, Now shall Sabee the son of Bochori do us more harm than Abessalom: now then take thou with thee the servants of thy lord, and follow after him, lest he find for himself strong cities, so will he blind our eyes.
And there went out after him Amessai and the men of Joab, and the Cherethites, and the Phelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sabee the son of Bochori.
And they were by the great stone that is in Gabaon: and Amessai went in before them: and Joab had upon him a military cloak over his apparel, and over it he was girded with a dagger fastened upon his loins in its scabbard: and the dagger came out, it even came out and fell.
9
И҆ речѐ і҆ѡа́въ а҆месса́ю: здра́въ ли є҆сѝ, бра́те; И҆ взѧ̀ і҆ѡа́въ рꙋко́ю десно́ю за брадꙋ̀ а҆месса́евꙋ лобза́ти є҆го̀:
9
And Joab said to Amessai, Art thou in health, my brother? and the right hand of Joab took hold of the beard of Amessai to kiss him.
10
а҆месса́й же не побреже́сѧ меча̀, и҆́же въ рꙋцѣ̀ і҆ѡа́вли: и҆ оу҆да́ри є҆го̀ і҆ѡа́въ мече́мъ въ чре́сла є҆гѡ̀, и҆ и҆злїѧ́сѧ чре́во є҆гѡ̀ на зе́млю, и҆ не повторѝ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ оу҆́мре (а҆месса́й). І҆ѡа́въ же и҆ а҆ве́сса бра́тъ є҆гѡ̀ гна́ста в̾слѣ́дъ саве́а сы́на вохо́рѧ.
10
And Amessai observed not the dagger that was in the hand of Joab: and Joab smote him with it on the loins, and his bowels were shed out upon the ground, and he did not repeat the blow, and he died: and Joab and Abessai his brother pursued after Sabee the son of Bochori.
And Amessai was weltering in blood in the midst of the way. And a man saw that all the people stood still; and he removed Amessai out of the path into a field, and he cast a garment upon him, because he saw every one that came to him standing still.
And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Bethmacha; and all in Charri too were assembled, and followed after him.
15
и҆ прїидо́ша и҆ ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ на него̀ ѡ҆́крестъ во а҆ве́ли и҆ во веѳма́хѣ: и҆ насы́паша зе́млю ко гра́дꙋ, и҆ ста̀ на предстѣ́нїи: и҆ всѝ лю́дїе и҆̀же со і҆ѡа́вомъ помышлѧ́хꙋ низложи́ти стѣ́нꙋ (гра́дскꙋю).
15
And they came and besieged him in Abel and Phermacha: and they raised a mound against the city and it stood close to the wall; and all the people with Joab proposed to throw down the wall.
16
И҆ возопѝ жена̀ мꙋ́драѧ со стѣны̀ и҆ речѐ: слы́шите, слы́шите, рцы́те нн҃ѣ і҆ѡа́вꙋ, да прибли́житсѧ до здѣ̀, и҆ возглаго́лю къ немꙋ̀.
16
And a wise woman cried from the wall, and said, Hear, hear; say, I pray ye, to Joab, Draw near hither, and I will speak to him.
And he drew nigh to her, and the woman said to him, Art thou Joab? and he said, I am. And she said to him, Hear the words of thy handmaid; and Joab said, I do hear.
And she spoke, saying, Of old time they said thus, Surely one was asked in Abel, and Dan, whether the faithful in Israel failed in what they purposed; they will surely ask in Abel, even in like manner, whether they have failed.
I am a peaceable one of the strong ones in Israel; but thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother-city in Israel: why dost thou seek to ruin the inheritance of the Lord?
Is not the case thus, that a man of mount Ephraim, Sabee son of Bochori by name, has even lifted up his hand against king David? Give him only to me, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
22
И҆ вни́де жена̀ ко всѣ̑мъ лю́демъ и҆ глаго́ла ко всемꙋ̀ гра́дꙋ мꙋ́дростїю свое́ю, ѿѧ́ти главꙋ̀ саве́а сы́на вохо́рѧ. И҆ ѿсѣко́ша главꙋ̀ саве́а сы́на вохо́рѧ, и҆ сверго́ша ю҆̀ ко і҆ѡа́вꙋ. И҆ і҆ѡа́въ вострꙋбѝ въ трꙋбꙋ̀, и҆ разыдо́шасѧ мꙋ́жїе ѿ гра́да всѝ въ селє́нїѧ своѧ̑. І҆ѡа́въ же возврати́сѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ ко царю̀.
22
And the woman went in to all the people, and she spoke to all the city in her wisdom; and they took off the head of Sabee the son of Bochori; and took it away and threw it to Joab: and he blew the trumpet, and the people separated from the city away from him, every man to his tent: and Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the Lord. And the Lord said, There is guilt upon Saul and his house because of his bloody murder, whereby he slew the Gabaonites.
2
И҆ призва̀ ца́рь даві́дъ гаваѡні́ты и҆ речѐ къ ни̑мъ: и҆ гаваѡні́тѧне не сꙋ́ть сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы, но то́кмѡ ѿ ѡ҆ста́ткѡвъ а҆морре́йскихъ, и҆ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы клѧ́шасѧ и҆̀мъ: саꙋ́лъ же взыска̀ порази́ти ѧ҆̀, внегда̀ поревнова́ти є҆мꙋ̀ по сынѣ́хъ і҆и҃левыхъ и҆ і҆ꙋ́диныхъ.
2
And king David called the Gabaonites, and said to them;—(now the Gabaonites are not the children of Israel, but are of the remnant of the Amorite, and the children of Israel had sworn to them: but Saul sought to smite them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Juda.)
3
И҆ речѐ даві́дъ ко гаваѡні́тѧнѡмъ: что̀ сотворю̀ ва́мъ; и҆ чи́мъ оу҆молю̀, да благослови́те достоѧ́нїе гдⷭ҇не;
3
And David said to the Gabaonites, What shall I do to you? and wherewithal shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
And the Gabaonites said to him, We have no question about silver or gold with Saul and with his house; and there is no man for us to put to death in Israel.
5
И҆ рѣ́ша ко царю̀: мꙋ̑жа, и҆́же совершѝ над̾ на́ми и҆ погна́ ны, и҆́же оу҆мы́сли потреби́ти ны̀, потреби́мъ є҆го̀, да не бꙋ́детъ во всѣ́хъ предѣ́лѣхъ і҆и҃левыхъ:
5
And he said, What say ye? speak, and I will do it for you. And they said to the king, The man who would have made an end of us, and persecuted us, who plotted against us to destroy us, let us utterly destroy him, so that he shall have no standing in all the coasts of Israel.
Let one give us seven men of his sons, and let us hang them up in the sun to the Lord in Gabaon of Saul, as chosen out for the Lord. And the king said, I will give them.
But the king spared Memphibosthe son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord that was between them, even between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
And the king took the two sons of Respha the daughter of Aia, whom she bore to Saul, Hermonoi and Memphibosthe, and the five sons of Michol daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Esdriel son of Berzelli the Moülathite.
9
и҆ дадѐ и҆̀хъ въ рꙋ́ки гаваѡні́тѡмъ. И҆ повѣ́сиша ѧ҆̀ на со́лнцѣ на горѣ̀ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, и҆ падо́ша та́мѡ сі́и се́дмь вкꙋ́пѣ: ті́и же оу҆мро́ша во дне́хъ жа́твы пе́рвыхъ, въ нача́лѣ жа́твы ꙗ҆чме́нѧ.
9
And he gave them into the hand of the Gabaonites, and they hanged them up to the sun in the mountain before the Lord: and they fell, even the seven together: moreover they were put to death in the days of harvest at the commencement, in the beginning of barley-harvest.
10
И҆ взѧ̀ ресфа̀ дщѝ а҆і́ина вре́тище, и҆ потчѐ є҆̀ себѣ̀ при ка́мени, въ нача́лѣ жа́твы ꙗ҆чме́нѧ до́ндеже снидо́ша на ни́хъ во́ды бж҃їѧ съ небесѐ, и҆ не дадѐ пти́цамъ небє́снымъ дне́мъ почи́ти на ни́хъ, нижѐ ѕвѣрє́мъ зємны́мъ но́щїю.
10
And Respha the daughter of Aia took sackcloth, and fixed it for herself on the rock in the beginning of barley harvest, until water dropped upon them out of heaven: and she did not suffer the birds of the air to rest upon them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
And it was told David what Respha the daughter of Aia the concubine of Saul had done, and they were faint, and Dan the son of Joa of the offspring of the giants overtook them.
And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of the sons of Jabis Galaad, who stole them from the street of Bæthsan; for the Philistines set them there in the day in which the Philistines smote Saul in Gelbue.
And he carried up thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and gathered the bones of them that had been hanged.
14
и҆ погребо́ша кѡ́сти саꙋ́ли и҆ кѡ́сти і҆ѡнаѳа́на сы́на є҆гѡ̀, и҆ кѡ́сти повѣ́шеныхъ на со́лнцѣ, въ землѝ венїамі́новѣ, при краѝ во гро́бѣ кі́са ѻ҆тца̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ сотвори́ша всѧ̑ є҆ли̑ка заповѣ́да ца́рь. И҆ послꙋ́ша бг҃ъ землѝ по си́хъ.
14
And they buried the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and the bones of them that had been hanged, in the land of Benjamin in the hill, in the sepulchre of Cis his father; and they did all things that the king commanded: and after this God hearkened to the prayers of the land.
And there was yet war between the Philistines and Israel: and David went down and his servants with him, and they fought with the Philistines, and David went.
And Jesbi, who was of the progeny of Rapha, and the head of whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, who also was girt with a club, even he thought to smite David.
17
И҆ помо́же є҆мꙋ̀ а҆ве́сса сы́нъ сарꙋ́инъ, и҆ и҆зба́ви даві́да а҆ве́сса, и҆ поразѝ и҆ноплеме́нника, и҆ оу҆мертвѝ є҆го̀. Тогда̀ клѧ́шасѧ мꙋ́жїе даві́дѡвы, глаго́люще: не и҆зы́деши ктомꙋ̀ съ на́ми на бра́нь, да не оу҆гаси́ши свѣти́лника і҆и҃лева.
17
And Abessa the son of Saruia helped him and smote the Philistine, and slew him. Then the men of David swore, saying, Thou shalt not any longer go out with us to battle, and thou shalt not quench the lamp of Israel.
18
И҆ бы́сть по си́хъ є҆щѐ бра́нь въ ге́ѳѣ со и҆ноплемє́нники: тогда̀ поразѝ совохе́й и҆́же ѿ а҆со́ѳы сѡ́бранныѧ внꙋ́ки гїга́нтѡвы.
18
And after this there was a battle again with the Philistines in Geth: then Sebocha the Astatothite slew Seph of the progeny of Rapha.
And there was a battle in Rom with the Philistines; and Eleanan son of Ariorgim the Bethleemite slew Goliath the Gittite; and the staff of his spear was as a weaver's beam.
And there was yet a battle in Geth: and there was a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands and the toes of his feet were six on each, four and twenty in number: and he also was born to Rapha.
And David spoke to the Lord the words of this song, in the day in which the Lord rescued him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul.
my God; he shall be to me my guard, I will trust in him: he is my protector, and the horn of my salvation, my helper, and my sure refuge; thou shalt save me from the unjust man.
When I am afflicted I will call upon the Lord, and will cry to my God, and he shall hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry shall come into his ears.
And the channels of the sea were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of his anger.
As for the Mighty One, his way is blameless: the word of the Lord is strong and tried in the fire: he is a protector to all that put their trust in him.
and bringing me out from my enemies: and thou shalt set me on high from among those that rise up against me: thou shalt deliver me from the violent man.
And these are the last words of David. Faithful is David the son of Jessæ, and faithful the man whom the Lord raised up to be the anointed of the God of Jacob, and beautiful are the psalms of Israel.
2
И҆ дх҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень гл҃а во мнѣ̀, и҆ сло́во є҆гѡ̀ на ѧ҆зы́цѣ мое́мъ.
2
The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and his word was upon my tongue.
The God of Israel says, A watchman out of Israel spoke to me a parable: I said among men, How will ye strengthen the fear of the anointed?
4
И҆ во свѣ́тѣ бж҃їи оу҆́треннѣмъ, и҆ возсїѧ̀ со́лнце заꙋ́тра, не пре́йде ѿ сїѧ́нїѧ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ дождѧ̀ ѕла́чна ѿ землѝ.
4
And in the morning light of God, let the sun arise in the morning, from the light of which the Lord passed on, and as it were from the rain of the tender grass upon the earth.
5
Не та́кѡ бо до́мъ мо́й съ крѣ́пкимъ: завѣ́тъ бо вѣ́ченъ положи́ ми, гото́въ во всѧ́комъ вре́мени сохране́нъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ всѐ спⷭ҇нїе моѐ и҆ всѐ хотѣ́нїе во гдⷭ҇ѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆́мать прозѧ́бнꙋти беззако́нный.
5
For my house is not so with the Mighty One: for he has made an everlasting covenant with me, ready, guarded at every time; for all my salvation and all my desire is, that the wicked should not flourish.
6
Ꙗ҆́коже те́рнїе и҆зве́ржено всѝ сі́и, ꙗ҆́кѡ не во́змꙋтсѧ рꙋко́ю,
6
All these are as a thorn thrust forth, for they shall not be taken with the hand,
and a man shall not labour among them; and one shall have that which is fully armed with iron, and the staff of a spear, and he shall burn them with fire, and they shall be burnt in their shame.
These are the names of the mighty men of David: Jebosthe the Chananite is a captain of the third part: Adinon the Asonite, he drew his sword against eight hundred soldiers at once.
9
И҆ по не́мъ є҆леаза́ръ, сы́нъ ѻ҆тца̀ бра́та є҆гѡ̀, въ трїе́хъ си́льныхъ бра́тїѧхъ, се́й бѣ̀ со даві́домъ (во сирра́нѣ) внегда̀ поноси́ти є҆мꙋ̀ во и҆ноплеме́нницѣхъ: и҆ и҆ноплемє́нницы собра́шасѧ та́мѡ на бра́нь,
9
And after him Eleanan the son of his uncle, son of Dudi who was among the three mighty men with David; and when he defied the Philistines they were gathered there to war, and the men of Israel went up.
He arose and smote the Philistines, until his hand was weary, and his hand clave to the sword: and the Lord wrought a great salvation in that day, and the people rested behind him only to strip the slain.
And after him Samaia the son of Asa the Arachite: and the Philistines were gathered to Theria; and there was there a portion of ground full of lentiles; and the people fled before the Philistines.
And three out of the thirty went down, and came to Cason to David, to the cave of Odollam; and there was an army of the Philistines, and they encamped in the valley of Raphain.
And David longed, and said, Who will give me water to drink out of the well that is in Bethleem by the gate? now the band of the Philistines was then in Bethleem.
16
И҆ расторго́ша трїѐ си́льнїи ѡ҆полче́нїе и҆ноплеме́нничо, и҆ почерпо́ша воды̀ и҆з̾ ро́ва виѳлее́мскагѡ, и҆́же при вратѣ́хъ: и҆ взѧ́ша, и҆ прїидо́ша ко даві́дꙋ, и҆ не восхотѣ̀ пи́ти є҆ѧ̀: и҆ возлїѧ̀ ю҆̀ гдⷭ҇ꙋ
16
And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well that was in Bethleem in the gate: and they took it, and brought it to David, and he would not drink it, but poured it out before the Lord.
And he said, O Lord, forbid that I should do this, that I should drink the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives: and he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.
And Abessa the brother of Joab the son of Saruia, he was chief among the three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he slew; and he had a name among three.
19
Ѿ трїе́хъ ѻ҆́ныхъ сла́вный, и҆ бы́сть и҆̀мъ кнѧ́зь, и҆ да́же до трїе́хъ не прїи́де.
19
Of those three he was most honourable, and he became a chief over them, but he reached not to the first three.
And Banæas the son of Jodae, he was abundant in mighty deeds, from Cabeseel, and he smote the two sons of Ariel of Moab: and he went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
He smote an Egyptian, a wonderful man, and in the hand of the Egyptian was a spear as the side of a ladder; and he went down to him with a staff, and snatched the spear from the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
These things did Banæas the son of Jodae, and he had a name among the three mighty men.
23
ѿ трїе́хъ сла́вный, и҆ ко трїе́мъ не прїи́де: и҆ поста́ви є҆го̀ даві́дъ над̾ таи̑нники свои́ми.
23
He was honourable among the second three, but he reached not to the first three: and David made him his reporter. And these are the names of king David's mighty men.
And the king said to Joab commander of the host, who was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel and Juda, from Dan even to Bersabee, and number the people, and I will know the number of the people.
And Joab said to the king, Now may the Lord add to the people a hundred-fold as many as they are, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king desire this thing?
Nevertheless the word of the king prevailed against Joab and the captains of the host: And Joab and the captains of the host went out before the king to number the people of Israel.
And Joab gave in the number of the census of the people to the king: and Israel consisted of eight hundred thousand men of might that drew sword; and the men of Juda, five hundred thousand fighting men.
And the heart of David smote him after he had numbered the people; and David said to the Lord, I have sinned grievously, O Lord, in what I have now done: remove, I pray thee, the iniquity of thy servant, for I have been exceedingly foolish.
And Gad went in to David, and told him, and said to him, Choose one of these things to befal thee, whether there shall come upon thee for three years famine in thy land; or that thou shouldest flee three months before thine enemies, and they should pursue thee; or that there should be for three days mortality in thy land. Now then decide, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
14
И҆ речѐ даві́дъ ко га́дꙋ: тѣ̑сна мѝ сꙋ́ть ѿвсю́дꙋ ѕѣлѡ̀ трѝ сїѧ̑: да впадꙋ̀ оу҆̀бо въ рꙋ́цѣ гдⷭ҇ни, ꙗ҆́кѡ мнѡ́ги сꙋ́ть щедрѡ́ты є҆гѡ̀ ѕѣлѡ̀: въ рꙋ́цѣ же человѣ̑чи да не впадꙋ̀. И҆ и҆збра̀ себѣ̀ даві́дъ сме́рть и҆ дни̑ жа́твєнныѧ пшени́цы.
14
And David said to Gad, On every side I am much straitened: let me fall now into the hands of the Lord, for his compassions are very many; and let me not fall into the hands of man.
15
И҆ дадѐ гдⷭ҇ь сме́рть во і҆и҃ли ѿ оу҆́тра до часа̀ ѡ҆бѣ́днѧгѡ, и҆ нача́сѧ ꙗ҆́зва бы́ти въ лю́дехъ, и҆ оу҆мро́ша ѿ люді́й гдⷭ҇нихъ ѿ да́на и҆ до вирсаві́и се́дмьдесѧтъ ты́сѧщъ мꙋже́й.
15
So David chose for himself the mortality: and they were the days of wheat-harvest; and the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from morning till noon, and the plague began among the people; and there died of the people from Dan even to Bersabee seventy thousand men.
And the angel of the Lord stretched out his hand against Jerusalem to destroy it, and the Lord repented of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough now, withhold thine hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing-floor of Orna the Jebusite.
17
И҆ речѐ даві́дъ ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ, є҆гда̀ ви́дѣ а҆́гг҃ла бїю́ща лю́ди, и҆ речѐ: сѐ, а҆́зъ є҆́смь согрѣши́вый, а҆́зъ є҆́смь па́стырь ѕло̀ сотвори́вый, а҆ сі́и ѻ҆́вцы что̀ сотвори́ша; да бꙋ́детъ нн҃ѣ рꙋка̀ твоѧ̀ на мнѣ̀ и҆ на домꙋ̀ ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀.
17
And David spoke to the Lord when he saw the angel smiting the people, and he said, Behold, it is I that have done wrong, but these sheep what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, be upon me, and upon my father's house.
And Orna looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on before him: and Orna went forth, and did obeisance to the king with his face to the earth.
And Orna said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? and David said, To buy of thee the threshing-floor, in order to build an altar to the Lord, that the plague may be restrained from off the people.
22
И҆ речѐ ѻ҆́рна къ даві́дꙋ: да прїи́метъ и҆ вознесе́тъ господи́нъ мо́й ца́рь гдⷭ҇ꙋ (бг҃ꙋ) є҆́же бла́го пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма є҆гѡ̀: сѐ, воло́ве во всесожже́нїе, и҆ коле́са и҆ сосꙋ́ди волѡ́въ на дрова̀.
22
And Orna said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer to the Lord that which is good in his eyes: behold, here are oxen for a whole-burnt-offering, and the wheels and furniture of the oxen for wood.
Orna gave all to the king: and Orna said to the king, The Lord thy God bless thee.
24
И҆ речѐ ца́рь ко ѻ҆́рнѣ: нѝ, но то́кмѡ кꙋпꙋ́ѧ кꙋплю̀ ѿ тебє̀ цѣно́ю, и҆ не вознесꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ моемꙋ̀ всесожже́нїѧ тꙋ́не. И҆ кꙋпѝ даві́дъ гꙋмно̀ и҆ волы̀ на пѧти́десѧти сі́клехъ сребра̀.
24
And the king said to Orna, Nay, but I will surely buy it of thee at a fair price, and I will not offer to the Lord my God a whole-burnt-offering for nothing. So David purchased the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered up whole-burnt-offerings and peace-offerings: and Solomon made an addition to the altar afterwards, for it was little at first. And the Lord hearkened to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
