ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ B΄
Chapter 1
Κεφάλαιο 1
1
1
And it came to pass after Saul was dead, that David returned from smiting Amalec, and David abode two days in Sekelac. ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Σαοὺλ καὶ Δαυὶδ ἀνέστρεψε τύπτων τὸν ᾿Αμαλήκ, καὶ ἐκάθισε Δαυὶδ ἐν Σεκελὰκ ἡμέρας δύο.
2
2
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. καὶ ἐγενήθη τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ἦλθεν ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ Σαούλ, καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ διερρωγότα, καὶ γῆ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἰσελθεῖν αὐτὸν πρὸς Δαυὶδ καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ.
3
3
And David said to him, Whence comest thou? and he said to him, I have escaped out of the camp of Israel. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δαυίδ· πόθεν σὺ παραγίνῃ; καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐγὼ διασέσωσμαι.
4
4
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. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δαυίδ· τίς ὁ λόγος οὗτος; ἀπάγγειλόν μοι. καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι ἔφυγεν ὁ λαὸς ἐκ τοῦ πολέμου καὶ πεπτώκασι πολλοὶ ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἀπέθανον· καὶ Σαοὺλ καὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀπέθανε.
5
5
And David said to the young man who brought him the tidings, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead? καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ τῷ παιδαρίῳ τῷ ἀπαγγέλλοντι αὐτῷ· πῶς οἶδας ὅτι τέθνηκε Σαοὺλ καὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ;
6
6
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. καὶ εἶπε τὸ παιδάριον τὸ ἀπαγγέλλον αὐτῷ· περιπτώματι περιέπεσον ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Γελβουέ, καὶ ἰδοὺ Σαοὺλ ἐπεστήρικτο ἐπὶ τὸ δόρυ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἰδοὺ τὰ ἅρματα καὶ οἱ ἱππάρχαι συνῆψαν αὐτῷ.
7
7
And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called me; and I said, Behold, here am I. καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ τὰ ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶδέ με καὶ ἐκάλεσέ με, καὶ εἶπα· ἰδοὺ ἐγώ.
8
8
And he said to me, Who art thou? and I said, I am an Amalekite. καὶ εἶπέ μοι· τίς εἶ σύ; καὶ εἶπα· ᾿Αμαληκίτης ἐγώ εἰμι.
9
9
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. καὶ εἶπε πρός με· στῆθι δὴ ἐπάνω μου καὶ θανάτωσόν με, ὅτι κατέσχε με σκότος δεινόν, ὅτι πᾶσα ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν ἐμοί.
10
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. καὶ ἐπέστην ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν καὶ ἐθανάτωσα αὐτόν, ὅτι ᾔδειν ὅτι οὐ ζήσεται μετὰ τὸ πεσεῖν αὐτόν· καὶ ἔλαβον τὸ βασίλειον τὸ ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν χλιδῶνα τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ βραχίονος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνήνοχα αὐτὰ τῷ κυρίῳ μου ὧδε.
11
11
And David laid hold of his garments, and rent them; and all the men who were with him rent their garments. καὶ ἐκράτησε Δαυὶδ τῶν ἱματίων αὐτοῦ καὶ διέρρηξεν αὐτά, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ διέρρηξαν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν.
12
12
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. καὶ ἐκόψαντο καὶ ἔκλαυσαν καὶ ἐνήστευσαν ἕως δείλης ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ καὶ ἐπὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον ᾿Ισραήλ, ὅτι ἐπλήγησαν ἐν ρομφαίᾳ.
13
13
And David said to the young man who brought the tidings to him, Whence art thou? and he said, I am the son of an Amalekite sojourner. καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ τῷ παιδαρίῳ τῷ ἀπαγγέλλοντι αὐτῷ· πόθεν εἶ σύ; καὶ εἶπεν· υἱὸς ἀνδρὸς παροίκου ᾿Αμαληκίτου ἐγώ εἰμι.
14
14
And David said to him, How was it thou wast not afraid to lift thy hand to destroy the anointed of the Lord? καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δαυίδ· πῶς οὐκ ἐφοβήθης ἐπενεγκεῖν χεῖρά σου διαφθεῖραι τὸν χριστὸν Κυρίου;
15
15
And David called one of his young men, and said, Go and fall upon him: and he smote him, and he died. καὶ ἐκάλεσε Δαυὶδ ἓν τῶν παιδαρίων αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπε· προσελθὼν ἀπάντησον αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀπέθανε.
16
16
And David said to him, Thy blood be upon thine own head; for thy mouth has testified against thee, saying, I have slain the anointed of the Lord. καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Δαυίδ· τὸ αἷμά σου ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν σου, ὅτι στὸ στόμα σου ἀπεκρίθη κατὰ σοῦ λέγων ὅτι, ἐγὼ ἐθανάτωσα τὸν χριστὸν Κυρίου.
17
17
And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son. Καὶ ἐθρήνησε Δαυὶδ τὸν θρῆνον τοῦτον ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ καὶ ἐπὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ.
18
18
And he gave orders to teach it the sons of Juda: behold, it is written in the book of Right. καὶ εἶπε τοῦ διδάξαι τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Ιούδα· ἰδοὺ γέγραπται ἐπὶ βιβλίου τοῦ εὐθοῦς.
19
19
Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain that died upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen! Στήλωσον, ᾿Ισραήλ, ὑπὲρ τῶν τεθνηκότων ἐπὶ τὰ ὕψη σου τραυματιῶν· πῶς ἔπεσαν δυνατοί;
20
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. μὴ ἀναγγείλητε ἐν Γὲθ καὶ μὴ εὐαγγελίσησθε ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις ᾿Ασκάλωνος, μή ποτε εὐφρανθῶσι θυγατέρες ἀλλοφύλων, μή ποτε ἀγαλλιάσωνται θυγατέρες τῶν ἀπεριτμήτων.
21
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. ὄρη τὰ ἐν Γελβουὲ μὴ καταβάτω δρόσος καὶ μὴ ὑετὸς ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς καὶ ἀγροὶ ἀπαρχῶν, ὅτι ἐκεῖ προσωχθίσθη θυρεὸς δυνατῶν, θυρεὸς Σαοὺλ οὐκ ἐχρίσθη ἐν ἐλαίῳ.
22
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. ἀφ᾿ αἵματος τραυματιῶν καὶ ἀπὸ στέατος δυνατῶν τόξον ᾿Ιωνάθαν οὐκ ἀπεστράφη κενὸν εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, καὶ ρομφαία Σαοὺλ οὐκ ἀνέκαμψε κενή.
23
23
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. Σαοὺλ καὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν, οἱ ἠγαπημένοι καὶ ὡραῖοι, οὐ διακεχωρισμένοι, εὐπρεπεῖς ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν τῷ θανάτῳ αὐτῶν οὐ διεχωρίσθησαν· ὑπὲρ ἀετοὺς κοῦφοι καὶ ὑπὲρ λέοντας ἐκραταιώθησαν.
24
24
Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you with scarlet together with your adorning, who added golden ornaments to your apparel. θυγατέρες ᾿Ισραήλ, ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ κλαύσατε, τὸν ἐνδιδύσκοντα ὑμᾶς κόκκινα μετὰ κόσμου ὑμῶν, τὸν ἀναφέροντα κόσμον χρυσοῦν ἐπὶ τὰ ἐνδύματα ὑμῶν.
25
25
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, even the slain ones upon thy high places! πῶς ἔπεσαν δυνατοὶ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ πολέμου· ᾿Ιωνάθαν ἐπὶ τὰ ὕψη σου τραυματίας.
26
26
I am grieved for thee, my brother Jonathan; thou wast very lovely to me; thy love to me was wonderful beyond the love of women. ἀλγῶ ἐπὶ σοί, ἀδελφέ μου ᾿Ιωνάθαν· ὡραιώθης μοι σφόδρα, ἐθαυμαστώθη ἡ ἀγάπησίς σου ἐμοὶ ὑπὲρ ἀγάπησιν γυναικῶν.
27
27
How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished! πῶς ἔπεσαν δυνατοὶ καὶ ἀπώλοντο σκεύη πολεμικά;

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. ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἐπηρώτησε Δαυὶδ ἐν Κυρίῳ λέγων· εἰ ἀναβῶ εἰς μίαν τῶν πόλεων ᾿Ιούδα; καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς αὐτόν· ἀνάβηθι. καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· ποῦ ἀναβῶ; καὶ εἶπεν· εἰς Χεβρών.
2
2
And David went up thither to Chebron, he and both his wives, Achinaam the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite, καὶ ἀνέβη ἐκεῖ Δαυὶδ εἰς Χεβρὼν καὶ ἀμφότεραι αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτοῦ, ᾿Αχινόομ ἡ ᾿Ιεζραηλῖτις καὶ ᾿Αβιγαία ἡ γυνὴ Νάβαλ τοῦ Καρμηλίου,
3
3
and the men that were with him, every one and his family; and they dwelt in the cities of Chebron. καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, ἕκαστος καὶ ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατῴκουν ἐν ταῖς πόλεσι Χεβρών.
4
4
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. καὶ ἔρχονται ἄνδρες τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας καὶ χρίουσι τὸν Δαυὶδ ἐκεῖ τοῦ βασιλεύειν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον ᾿Ιούδα. Καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ Δαυὶδ λέγοντες· ὅτι οἱ ἄνδρες ᾿Ιαβὶς τῆς Γαλααδίτιδος ἔθαψαν τὸν Σαούλ.
5
5
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. καὶ ἀπέστειλε Δαυὶδ ἀγγέλους πρὸς τοὺς ἡγουμένους ᾿Ιαβὶς τῆς Γαλααδίτιδος καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς Δαυίδ· εὐλογημένοι ὑμεῖς τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι ἐποιήσατε τὸ ἔλεος τοῦτο ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον ὑμῶν, ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ τὸν χριστὸν Κυρίου καὶ ἐθάψατε αὐτὸν καὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ.
6
6
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. καὶ νῦν ποιήσαι Κύριος μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν ἔλεος καὶ ἀλήθειαν, καί γε ἐγὼ ποιήσω μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν τὰ ἀγαθὰ ταῦτα, ὅτι ἐποιήσατε τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο·
7
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. καὶ νῦν κραταιούσθωσαν αἱ χεῖρες ὑμῶν καὶ γίνεσθε εἰς υἱοὺς δυνατούς, ὅτι τέθνηκεν ὁ κύριος ὑμῶν Σαούλ, καί γε ἐμὲ κέχρικεν ὁ οἶκος ᾿Ιούδα ἐφ᾿ ἑαυτὸν εἰς βασιλέα.
8

But Abenner, the son of Ner, the commander-in-chief of Saul's army, took Jebosthe son of Saul, and brought him up from the camp to Manaem Καὶ ᾿Αβεννὴρ υἱὸς Νὴρ ἀρχιστράτηγος τοῦ Σαοὺλ ἔλαβε τὸν ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ υἱὸν Σαοὺλ καὶ ἀνεβίβασεν αὐτὸν ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς εἰς Μαναὲμ
9
9
and made him king over the land of Galaad, and over Thasiri, and over Jezrael, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel. καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν Γαλααδῖτιν καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν Θασιρὶ καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ᾿Ιεζράελ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Εφραὶμ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν Βενιαμὶν καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα ᾿Ισραήλ.
10
10
Jebosthe, Saul's son was forty years old, when he reigned over Israel; and he reigned two years, but not over the house of Juda, who followed David. τεσσαράκοντα ἐτῶν ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ υἱὸς Σαούλ, ὅτε ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ δύο ἔτη ἐβασίλευσε, πλὴν τοῦ οἴκου ᾿Ιούδα, οἳ ἦσαν ὀπίσω Δαυίδ·
11
11
And the days which David reigned in Chebron over the house of Juda were seven years and six months. καὶ ἐγένοντο αἱ ἡμέραι, ἃς Δαυὶδ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Χεβρὼν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον ᾿Ιούδα, ἑπτὰ ἔτη καὶ μῆνας ἕξ.
12
12
And Abenner the son of Ner went forth, and the servants of Jebosthe the son of Saul, from Manaem to Gabaon. Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ᾿Αβεννὴρ υἱὸς Νὴρ καὶ οἱ παῖδες ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ υἱοῦ Σαοὺλ ἐκ Μαναὲμ εἰς Γαβαών·
13
13
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. καὶ ᾿Ιωὰβ υἱὸς Σαρουΐας καὶ οἱ παῖδες Δαυὶδ ἐξήλθοσαν ἐκ Χεβρὼν καὶ συναντῶσιν αὐτοῖς ἐπὶ τὴν κρήνην τὴν Γαβαὼν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό, καὶ ἐκάθισαν οὗτοι ἐπὶ τὴ κρήνην ἐντεῦθεν, καὶ οὗτοι ἐπὶ τὴν κρήνην ἐντεῦθεν.
14
14
And Abenner said to Joab, Let now the young men arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεννὴρ πρὸς ᾿Ιωάβ· ἀναστήτωσαν δὴ τὰ παιδάρια καὶ παιξάτωσαν ἐνώπιον ἡμῶν· καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωάβ· ἀναστήτωσαν.
15
15
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. καὶ ἀνέστησαν καὶ παρῆλθον ἐν ἀριθμῷ τῶν παίδων Βενιαμὶν δώδεκα τῶν ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ υἱοῦ Σαοὺλ καὶ δώδεκα ἐκ τῶν παίδων Δαυίδ.
16
16
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. καὶ ἐκράτησαν ἕκαστος τῇ χειρὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ μάχαιρα αὐτοῦ εἰς πλευρὰν τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ πίπτουσι κατὰ τὸ αὐτό· καὶ ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Μερὶς τῶν ἐπιβούλων, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν Γαβαών.
17
17
And the battle was very severe on that day; and Abenner and the men of Israel were worsted before the servants of David. καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ πόλεμος σκληρὸς ὥστε λίαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἔπταισεν ᾿Αβεννὴρ καὶ ἄνδρες ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐνώπιον παίδων Δαυίδ.
18
18
And there were there the three sons of Saruia, Joab, and Abessa, and Asael: and Asael was swift in his feet as a roe in the field. καὶ ἐγένοντο ἐκεῖ τρεῖς υἱοὶ Σαρουΐας, ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ ᾿Αβεσσὰ καὶ ᾿Ασαήλ, καὶ ᾿Ασαὴλ κοῦφος τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ μία δορκὰς ἐν ἀγρῷ.
19
19
And Asael followed after Abenner, and turned not to go to the right hand or to the left from following Abenner. καὶ κατεδίωξεν ᾿Ασαὴλ ὀπίσω ᾿Αβεννὴρ καὶ οὐκ ἐξέκλινε τοῦ πορεύεσθαι εἰς δεξιὰ οὐδὲ εἰς ἀριστερὰ κατόπισθεν ᾿Αβεννήρ.
20
20
And Abenner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asael himself? and he said, I am. καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν ᾿Αβεννὴρ εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν· εἰ σὺ εἶ αὐτὸς ᾿Ασαήλ; καὶ εἶπεν· ἐγώ εἰμι.
21
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. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ᾿Αβεννήρ· ἔκλινον σὺ εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ ἢ εἰς τὰ ἀριστερὰ καὶ κάτασχε σεαυτῷ ἓν τῶν παιδαρίων καὶ λαβὲ σεαυτῷ τὴν πανοπλίαν αὐτοῦ· καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ᾿Ασαὴλ ἐκκλῖναι ἐκ τῶν ὄπισθεν αὐτοῦ.
22
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? καὶ προσέθετο ἔτι ᾿Αβεννὴρ λέγων τῷ ᾿Ασαήλ· ἀπόστηθι ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ, ἵνα μὴ πατάξω σε εἰς τὴν γῆν· καὶ πῶς ἀρῶ τὸ πρόσωπόν μου πρὸς ᾿Ιωάβ;
23
23
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. καὶ ποῦ ἐστι ταῦτα; ἐπίστρεφε πρὸς ᾿Ιωὰβ τὸν ἀδελφόν σου. καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο τοῦ ἀποστῆναι. καὶ τύπτει αὐτὸν ᾿Αβεννὴρ ἐν τῷ ὀπίσω τοῦ δόρατος ἐπὶ τὴν ψόαν, καὶ διεξῆλθε τὸ δόρυ ἐκ τῶν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ, καὶ πίπτει ἐκεῖ καὶ ἀποθνήσκει ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐγένετο πᾶς ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἕως τοῦ τόπου, οὗ ἔπεσεν ἐκεῖ ᾿Ασαὴλ καὶ ἀπέθανε, καὶ ὑφίστατο.
24
24
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. καὶ κατεδίωξεν ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ ᾿Αβεσσὰ ὀπίσω ᾿Αβεννήρ· καὶ ὁ ἥλιος ἔδυνε. καὶ αὐτοὶ εἰσῆλθον ἕως τοῦ βουνοῦ ᾿Αμμάν, ὅ ἐστιν ἐπὶ προσώπου Γαί, ὁδὸν ἔρημον Γαβαών.
25
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. καὶ συναθροίζονται οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν οἱ ὀπίσω ᾿Αβεννὴρ καὶ ἐγενήθησαν εἰς συνάντησιν μίαν καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν βουνοῦ ἑνός.
26
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? καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ᾿Αβεννὴρ ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ εἶπε· μὴ εἰς νῖκος καταφάγεται ἡ ρομφαία; ἦ οὐκ οἶδας ὅτι πικρὰ ἔσται εἰς τὰ ἔσχατα; καὶ ἕως πότε οὐ μὴ εἴπῃς τῷ λαῷ ἀποστρέφειν ἀπὸ ὄπισθεν τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν;
27
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. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωάβ· ζῇ Κύριος, ὅτι εἰ μὴ ἐλάλησας, διότι τότε ἐκ πρωϊόθεν ἀνέβη ἂν ὁ λαὸς ἕκαστος κατόπισθεν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ.
28
28
And Joab sounded the trumpet, and all the people departed, and did not pursue after Israel, and did not fight any longer. καὶ ἐσάλπισεν ᾿Ιωὰβ τῇ σάλπιγγι, καὶ ἀπέστησαν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς καὶ οὐ κατεδίωξαν ὀπίσω τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ οὐ προσέθεντο ἔτι τοῦ πολεμεῖν.
29
29
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. καὶ ᾿Αβεννὴρ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ ἀπῆλθον εἰς δυσμὰς ὅλην τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην καὶ διέβαιναν τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὅλην τὴν παρατείνουσαν καὶ ἔρχονται εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν.
30
30
And Joab returned from following Abenner, and he assembled all the people, and there were missing of the people of David, nineteen men, and Asael. καὶ ᾿Ιωὰβ ἀνέστρεψεν ὄπισθεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ᾿Αβεννὴρ καὶ συνήθροισε πάντα τὸν λαόν, καὶ ἐπεσκέπησαντῶν παίδων Δαυίδ ἐννεακαίδεκα ἄνδρες καὶ ᾿Ασαήλ.
31
31
And the servants of David smote of the children of Benjamin, of the men of Abenner, three hundred and sixty men belonging to him. καὶ οἱ παῖδες Δαυὶδ ἐπάταξαν τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμὶν τῶν ἀνδρῶν ᾿Αβεννὴρ τριακοσίους ἑξήκοντα ἄνδρας παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
32
32
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. καὶ αἴρουσι τὸν ᾿Ασαὴλ καὶ θάπτουσιν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ τάφῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν Βηθλεέμ. καὶ ἐπορεύθη ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ὅλην τὴν νύκτα, καὶ διέφαυσεν αὐτοῖς ἐν Χεβρών.

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. ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ὁ πόλεμος ἐπὶ πολὺ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ οἴκου Σαοὺλ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ οἴκου Δαυίδ· καὶ ὁ οἶκος Δαυὶδ ἐπορεύετο καὶ ἐκραταιοῦτο, καὶ ὁ οἶκος Σαοὺλ ἐπορεύετο καὶ ἠσθένει.

And sons were born to David in Chebron: and his first-born was Amnon the son of Achinoom the Jezraelitess. Καὶ ἐτέχθησαν τῷ Δαυὶδ υἱοὶ ἐν Χεβρών, καὶ ἦν ὁ πρωτότοκος αὐτοῦ ᾿Αμνὼν τῆς ᾿Αχινόομ τῆς ᾿Ιεζραηλίτιδος,
3

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. καὶ ὁ δεύτερος αὐτοῦ Δαλουΐα τῆς ᾿Αβιγαίας τῆς Καρμηλίας, καὶ ὁ τρίτος ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ υἱὸς Μααχὰ θυγατρὸς Θολμὶ βασιλέως Γεσίρ,

And the fourth was Ornia, the son of Aggith, and the fifth was Saphatia, the son of Abital. καὶ ὁ τέταρτος ᾿Ορνία υἱὸς Φεγγίθ, καὶ ὁ πέμπτος Σαβατία τῆς ᾿Αβιτάλ,
5
5
And the sixth was Jetheraam, the son of Ægal the wife of David. These were born to David in Chebron. καὶ ὁ ἕκτος ᾿Ιεθεραὰμ τῆς Αἰγλὰ γυναικὸς Δαυίδ· οὗτοι ἐτέχθησαν τῷ Δαυὶδ ἐν Χεβρών.

And it came to pass while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abenner was governing the house of Saul. Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἶναι τὸν πόλεμον ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ οἴκου Σαοὺλ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ οἴκου Δαυίδ, καὶ ᾿Αβεννὴρ ἦν κρατῶν τοῦ οἴκου Σαούλ.
7
7
And Saul had a concubine, Respha, the daughter of Jol; and Jebosthe the son of Saul said to Abenner, Why hast thou gone in to my father's concubine? καὶ τῷ Σαοὺλ παλλακὴ Ρεσφὰ θυγάτηρ ᾿Ιάλ· καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ υἱὸς Σαοὺλ πρὸς ᾿Αβεννήρ· τί ὅτι εἰσῆλθες πρὸς τὴν παλλακὴν τοῦ πατρός μου;
8
8
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? καὶ ἐθυμώθη σφόδρα ᾿Αβεννὴρ περὶ τοῦ λόγου τούτου τῷ ᾿Ιεβοσθέ, καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεννὴρ πρὸς αὐτόν· μὴ κεφαλὴ κυνὸς ἐγώ εἰμι; ἐποίησα σήμερον ἔλεος μετὰ τοῦ οἴκου Σαοὺλ τοῦ πατρός σου καὶ περὶ ἀδελφῶν καὶ περὶ γνωρίμων καὶ οὐκ ηὐτομόλησα εἰς τὸν οἶκον Δαυίδ· καὶ ἐπιζητεῖς ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ σὺ ὑπὲρ ἀδικίας γυναικὸς σήμερον;
9
9
God do thus and more also to Abenner, if as the Lord swore to David, so do I not to him this day; τάδε ποιήσαι ὁ Θεὸς τῷ ᾿Αβεννὴρ καὶ τάδε προσθείη αὐτῷ, ὅτι καθὼς ὤμοσε Κύριος τῷ Δαυίδ, ὅτι οὕτως ποιήσω αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ
10
10
to take away the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee. περιελεῖν τὴν βασιλείαν ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου Σαούλ, καὶ τοῦ ἀναστῆσαι τὸν θρόνον Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ιούδαν ἀπὸ Δὰν ἕως Βηρσαβεέ.
11
11
And Jebosthe could not any longer answer Abenner a word, because he feared him. καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνάσθη ἔτι ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ ἀποκριθῆναι τῷ ᾿Αβεννὴρ ρῆμα ἀπὸ τοῦ φοβεῖσθαι αὐτόν.
12
12
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. Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ᾿Αβεννὴρ ἀγγέλους πρὸς Δαυὶδ εἰς Θαιλὰμ οὗ ἦν, παραχρῆμα λέγων· διάθου διαθήκην σου μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ χεὶρ μου μετὰ σοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι πρὸς σὲ πάντα τὸν οἶκον ᾿Ισραήλ.
13
13
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. καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· καλῶς ἐγὼ διαθήσομαι πρὸς σὲ διαθήκην, πλὴν λόγον ἕνα ἐγὼ αἰτοῦμαι παρὰ σοῦ λέγων· οὐκ ὄψει τὸ πρόσωπόν μου, ἐὰν μὴ ἀγάγῃς τὴν Μελχὸλ θυγατέρα Σαοὺλ παραγινομένου σου ἰδεῖν τὸ πρόσωπόν μου.
14
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. καὶ ἐξαπέστειλε Δαυὶδ πρὸς ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ υἱὸν Σαοὺλ ἀγγέλους λέγων· ἀπόδος μοι τὴν γυναῖκά μου τὴν Μελχόλ, ἣν ἔλαβον ἐν ἑκατὸν ἀκροβυστίαις ἀλλοφύλων.
15
15
And Jebosthe sent, and took her from her husband, even from Phaltiel the son of Selle. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὴν παρὰ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς, παρὰ Φαλτιὴλ υἱοῦ Σελλῆς.
16
16
And her husband went with her weeping behind her as far as Barakim. And Abenner said to him, Go, return; and he returned. καὶ ἐπορεύετο ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς μετ᾿ αὐτῆς κλαίων ὀπίσω αὐτῆς ἕως Βαρακίμ· καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν ᾿Αβεννήρ· πορεύου, ἀνάστρεφε· καὶ ἀνέστρεψε.
17
17
And Abenner spoke to the elders of Israel, saying, In former days ye sought David to reign over you; καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεννὴρ πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους ᾿Ισραὴλ λέγων· χθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἐζητεῖτε τὸν Δαυὶδ βασιλεύειν ἐφ᾿ ὑμῶν·
18
18
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. καὶ νῦν ποιήσατε, ὅτι Κύριος ἐλάλησε περὶ Δαυὶδ λέγων· ἐν χειρὶ τοῦ δούλου μου Δαυὶδ σώσω τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐκ χειρὸς ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν.
19
19
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. καὶ ἐλάλησεν ᾿Αβεννὴρ ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶ Βενιαμίν. καὶ ἐπορεύθη ᾿Αβεννὴρ τοῦ λαλῆσαι εἰς τὰ ὦτα τοῦ Δαυὶδ εἰς Χεβρὼν πάντα, ὅσα ἤρεσεν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς οἴκου Βενιαμίν.
20
20
And Abenner came to David to Chebron, and with him twenty men: and David made for Abenner and his men with him a banquet of wine. Καὶ ἦλθεν ᾿Αβεννὴρ πρὸς Δαυὶδ εἰς Χεβρὼν καὶ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ εἴκοσιν ἄνδρες. καὶ ἐποίησε Δαυὶδ τῷ ᾿Αβεννὴρ καὶ τοῖς ἀνδράσι τοῖς μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ πότον.
21
21
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. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεννὴρ πρὸς Δαυίδ· ἀναστήσομαι δὴ καὶ πορεύσομαι καὶ συναθροίσω πρὸς κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα πάντα ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ διαθήσομαι μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ διαθήκην, καὶ βασιλεύσεις ἐπὶ πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐπιθυμεῖ ἡ ψυχή σου. καὶ ἀπέστειλε Δαυὶδ τὸν ᾿Αβεννήρ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν εἰρήνῃ.
22
22
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. καὶ ἰδοὺ οἱ παῖδες Δαυὶδ καὶ ᾿Ιωὰβ παρεγένοντο ἐκ τῆς ἐξοδίας, καὶ σκῦλα πολλὰ ἔφερον μεθ᾿ ἑαυτῶν· καὶ ᾿Αβεννὴρ οὐκ ἦν μετὰ Δαυὶδ εἰς Χεβρών, ὅτι ἀπεστάλκει αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπεληλύθει ἐν εἰρήνῃ.
23
23
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. καὶ ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ στρατιὰ αὐτοῦ ἤλθοσαν, καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ ᾿Ιωὰβ λέγοντες· ἥκει ᾿Αβεννὴρ υἱὸς Νὴρ πρὸς Δαυίδ, καὶ ἀπέσταλκεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐν εἰρήνῃ.
24
24
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? καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ᾿Ιωὰβ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ εἶπε· τί τοῦτο ἐποίησας; ἰδοὺ ἦλθεν ᾿Αβεννὴρ πρὸς σέ, καὶ ἱνατί ἐξαπέσταλκας αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπελήλυθεν ἐν εἰρήνῃ;
25
25
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? ἦ οὐκ οἶδας τὴν κακίαν ᾿Αβεννὴρ υἱοῦ Νήρ, ὅτι ἀπατῆσαί σε παρεγένετο καὶ γνῶναι τὴν ἔξοδόν σου καὶ τὴν εἴσοδόν σου καὶ γνῶναι ἅπαντα, ὅσα σὺ ποιεῖς;
26
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. καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν ᾿Ιωὰβ ἀπὸ τοῦ Δαυὶδ καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸς ᾿Αβεννὴρ ὀπίσω, καὶ ἐπιστρέφουσιν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τοῦ φρέατος τοῦ Σεειράμ· καὶ Δαυὶδ οὐκ ᾔδει.
27
27
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. καὶ ἐπέστρεψε τὸν ᾿Αβεννὴρ εἰς Χεβρών, καὶ ἐξέκλινεν αὐτὸν ᾿Ιωὰβ ἐκ πλαγίων τῆς πύλης λαλῆσαι πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐνεδρεύων καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ εἰς τὴν ψόαν, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐν τῷ αἱματι ᾿Ασαὴλ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ ᾿Ιωάβ.
28
28
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. Καὶ ἤκουσε Δαυὶδ μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ εἶπεν· ἀθῶός εἰμι ἐγὼ καὶ ἡ βασιλεία μου ἀπὸ Κυρίου καὶ ἕως αἰῶνος ἀπὸ τῶν αἱμάτων ᾿Αβεννὴρ υἱοῦ Νήρ·
29
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. καταντησάτωσαν ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ μὴ ἐκλείποι ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου ᾿Ιωὰβ γονορρυὴς καὶ λεπρὸς καὶ κρατῶν σκυτάλης καὶ πίπτων ἐν ρομφαίᾳ καὶ ἐλασσούμενος ἄρτοις.
30
30
For Joab and Abessa his brother laid wait continually for Abenner, because he slew Asael their brother at Gabaon in the battle. ᾿Ιωὰβ δὲ καὶ ᾿Αβεσσὰ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ διαπαρετηροῦντο τὸν ᾿Αβεννὴρ ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ἐθανάτωσε τὸν ᾿Ασαὴλ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτῶν ἐν Γαβαών, ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ.
31
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. καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαὸν τὸν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ· διαρρήξατε τὰ ἱμάτια ὑμῶν καὶ περιζώσασθε σάκκους καὶ κόπτεσθε ἔμπροσθεν ᾿Αβεννήρ· καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ ἐπορεύετο ὀπίσω τῆς κλίνης.
32
32
And they bury Abenner in Chebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at his tomb, and all the people wept for Abenner. καὶ θάπτουσι τὸν ᾿Αβεννὴρ ἐν Χεβρών· καὶ ᾖρεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔκλαυσεν ἐπὶ τοῦ τάφου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔκλαυσε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐπὶ ᾿Αβεννήρ.
33
33
And the king mourned over Abenner, and said, Shall Abenner die according to the death of Nabal? καὶ ἐθρήνησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ ᾿Αβεννὴρ καὶ εἶπεν· εἰ κατὰ τὸν θάνατον Νάβαλ ἀποθανεῖται ᾿Αβεννήρ;
34
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. αἱ χεῖρές σου οὐκ ἐδέθησαν, οἱ πόδες σου οὐκ ἐν πέδαις· οὐ προσήγαγεν ὡς Νάβαλ, ἐνώπιον υἱῶν ἀδικίας ἔπεσας. καὶ συνήχθη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τοῦ κλαῦσαι αὐτόν.
35
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. καὶ ἦλθε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς περιδειπνῆσαι τὸν Δαυὶδ ἄρτοις ἔτι οὔσης ἡμέρας, καὶ ὤμοσε Δαυὶδ λέγων· τάδε ποιήσαι μοι ὁ Θεὸς καὶ τάδε προσθείη, ὅτι ἐὰν μὴ δύῃ ὁ ἥλιος, οὐ μὴ γεύσωμαι ἄρτου ἢ ἀπὸ παντός τινος.
36
36
And all the people took notice, and all things that the king did before the people were pleasing in their sight. καὶ ἔγνω πᾶς ὁ λαός, καὶ ἤρεσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐνώπιον τοῦ λαοῦ.
37
37
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. καὶ ἔγνω πᾶς ὁ λαὸς καὶ πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ὅτι οὐκ ἐγένετο παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως θανατῶσαι τὸν ᾿Αβεννὴρ υἱὸν Νήρ.
38
38
And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that a great prince is this day fallen in Israel? καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ· οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι ἡγούμενος μέγας πέπτωκεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ ἐν τῷ ᾿Ισραήλ;
39
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. καὶ ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι συγγενὴς σήμερον καὶ καθεσταμένος ὑπὸ βασιλέως; οἱ δὲ ἄνδρες οὗτοι υἱοὶ Σαρουΐας σκληρότεροί μού εἰσιν· ἀποδῷ Κύριος τῷ ποιοῦντι τὰ πονηρὰ κατὰ τὴν κακίαν αὐτοῦ.

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. ΚΑΙ ἤκουσεν ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ υἱὸς Σαοὺλ ὅτι τέθνηκεν ᾿Αβεννὴρ υἱὸς Νὴρ ἐν Χεβρών, καὶ ἐξελύθησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες ᾿Ισραὴλ παρείθησαν.
2
2
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. καὶ δύο ἄνδρες ἡγούμενοι συστρεμμάτων τῷ ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ υἱῷ Σαούλ, ὄνομα τῷ ἑνὶ Βαανὰ καὶ ὄνομα τῷ δευτέρῳ Ρηχάβ, υἱοὶ Ρεμμὼν τοῦ Βηρωθαίου ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμίν· ὅτι Βηρὼθ ἐλογίζετο τοῖς υἱοῖς Βενιαμίν,
3
3
And the Berothites ran away to Gethaim, and were sojourners there until this day. καὶ ἀπέδρασαν οἱ Βηθωραῖοι εἰς Γεθθαὶμ καὶ ἦσαν ἐκεῖ παροικοῦντες ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
4

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. καὶ τῷ ᾿Ιωνάθαν υἱῷ Σαοὺλ υἱὸς πεπληγὼς τοὺς πόδας· υἱὸς ἐτῶν πέντε οὗτος ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν τὴν ἀγγελίαν Σαοὺλ καὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐξ ᾿Ιεζραήλ, καὶ ᾖρεν αὐτὸν ἡ τιθηνὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔφυγε, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ σπεύδειν αὐτὸν καὶ ἀναχωρεῖν, καὶ ἔπεσε καὶ ἐχωλάνθη, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Μεμφιβοσθέ.
5

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. καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν υἱοὶ Ρεμμὼν τοῦ Βηρωθαίου Ρεκχὰ καὶ Βαανὰ καὶ εἰσῆλθον ἐν τῷ καύματι τῆς ἡμέρας εἰς οἶκον ᾿Ιεβοσθέ. καὶ αὐτὸς ἐκάθευδεν ἐν τῇ κοίτῃ τῆς μεσημβρίας,
6
6
And, behold, the porter of the house winnowed wheat, and he slumbered and slept: and the brothers Rechab and Baana went privily into the house: καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ θυρωρὸς τοῦ οἴκου ἐκάθαιρε πυροὺς καὶ ἐνύσταξε καὶ ἐκάθευδε, καὶ Ρεκχὰ καὶ Βαανὰ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ διέλαθον
7
7
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. καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ ἐκάθευδεν ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ κοιτῶνι αὐτοῦ, καὶ τύπτουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ θανατοῦσι καὶ ἀφαιροῦσι τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλαβον τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπῆλθον ὁδὸν τὴν κατὰ δυσμὰς ὅλην τὴν νύκτα.
8
8
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. καὶ ἤνεγκαν τὴν κεφαλὴν ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ τῷ Δαυὶδ εἰς Χεβρὼν καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· ἰδοὺ ἡ κεφαλὴ ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ υἱοῦ Σαοὺλ τοῦ ἐχθροῦ σου, ὃς ἐζήτει τὴν ψυχήν σου, καὶ ἔδωκε Κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ βασιλεῖ ἐκδίκησιν τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη, ἐκ Σαοὺλ τοῦ ἐχθροῦ σου καὶ ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτοῦ.
9
9
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; καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Δαυὶδ τῷ Ρεκχὰ καὶ τῷ Βαανὰ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ υἱοῖς Ρεμμὼν τοῦ Βηρωθαίου καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ζῇ Κύριος, ὃς ἐλυτρώσατο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ πάσης θλίψεως,
10
10
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. ὅτι ὁ ἀπαγγείλας μοι ὅτι τέθνηκε Σαούλ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ὡς εὐαγγελιζόμενος ἐνώπιόν μου, καὶ κατέσχον αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπέκτεινα αὐτὸν ἐν Σεκελάκ, ᾧ ἔδει με δοῦναι εὐαγγέλια.
11
11
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. καὶ νῦν ἄνδρες πονηροὶ ἀπεκτάγκασιν ἄνδρα δίκαιον ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης αὐτοῦ· καὶ νῦν ἐκζητήσω τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐκ χειρὸς ὑμῶν καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσω ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῆς γῆς.
12
12
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. καὶ ἐνετείλατο Δαυὶδ τοῖς παιδαρίοις αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀποκτείνουσιν αὐτοὺς καὶ κολοβοῦσι τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτῶν καὶ ἐκρέμασαν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τῆς κρήνης ἐν Χεβρών· καὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ ἔθαψαν ἐν τῷ τάφῳ ᾿Αβεννὴρ υἱοῦ Νήρ.

And all the tribes of Israel come to David to Chebron, and they said to him, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. ΚΑΙ παραγίνονται πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς Δαυὶδ εἰς Χεβρὼν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· ἰδοὺ ὀστᾶ σου καὶ σάρκες σου ἡμεῖς·
2
2
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. καὶ ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ὄντος Σαοὺλ βασιλέως ἐφ᾿ ἡμῖν, σὺ ἦσθα ὁ ἐξάγων καὶ εἰσάγων τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς σέ· σὺ ποιμανεῖς τὸν λαόν μου τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ σὺ ἔσῃ εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου ᾿Ισραήλ.
3
3
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. καὶ ἔρχονται πάντες οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς Χεβρών, καὶ διέθετο αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ διαθήκην ἐν Χεβρὼν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ χρίουσι τὸν Δαυὶδ εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ πάντα ᾿Ισραήλ.

David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. υἱὸς τριάκοντα ἐτῶν Δαυὶδ ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν καὶ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν,
5
5
Seven years and six months he reigned in Chebron over Juda, and thirty-three years he reigned over all Israel and Juda in Jerusalem. ἑπτὰ ἔτη καὶ μῆνας ἓξ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Χεβρὼν ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ιούδαν καὶ τριάκοντα τρία ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ πάντα ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιούδαν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.

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. Καὶ ἀπῆλθε Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ πρὸς τὸν ᾿Ιεβουσαῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα τὴν γῆν. καὶ ἐρρέθη τῷ Δαυίδ· οὐκ εἰσελεύσῃ ὧδε, ὅτι ἀντέστησαν οἱ τυφλοὶ καὶ οἱ χωλοὶ λέγοντες ὅτι οὐκ εἰσελεύσεται Δαυὶδ ὧδε.
7
7
And David took first the hold of Sion: this is the city of David. καὶ κατελάβετο Δαυὶδ τὴν περιοχὴν Σιὼν (αὕτη ἡ πόλις τοῦ Δαυίδ).
8
8
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. καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ· πᾶς τύπτων ᾿Ιεβουσαῖον ἁπτέσθω ἐν παραξιφίδι καὶ τοὺς χωλοὺς καὶ τοὺς τυφλοὺς καὶ τοὺς μισοῦντας τὴν ψυχὴν Δαυίδ· διὰ τοῦτο ἐροῦσι· τυφλοὶ καὶ χωλοὶ οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου.
9
9
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. καὶ ἐκάθισε Δαυὶδ ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ, καὶ ἐκλήθη αὕτη ἡ πόλις Δαυίδ· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν αὐτὴν πόλιν κύκλῳ ἀπὸ τῆς ἄκρας καὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
10
10
And David advanced and became great, and the Lord Almighty was with him. καὶ διεπορεύετο Δαυὶδ πορευόμενος καὶ μεγαλυνόμενος, καὶ Κύριος παντοκράτωρ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
11
11
And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and carpenters, and stone-masons: and they built a house for David. καὶ ἀπέστειλε Χειρὰμ βασιλεὺς Τύρου ἀγγέλους πρὸς Δαυὶδ καὶ ξύλα κέδρινα καὶ τέκτονας ξύλων καί τέκτονας λίθων καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν οἶκον τῷ Δαυίδ.
12
12
And David knew that the Lord had prepared him to be king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted for the sake of his people Israel. καὶ ἔγνω Δαυὶδ ὅτι ἡτοίμασεν αὐτὸν Κύριος εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ὅτι ἐπῄρθη ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ διὰ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ.
13
13
And David took again wives and concubines out of Jerusalem, after he came from Chebron: and David had still more sons and daughters born to him. καὶ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ ἔτι γυναῖκας καὶ παλλακὰς ἐξ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ μετὰ τὸ ἐλθεῖν αὐτὸν ἐκ Χεβρών, καὶ ἐγένοντο τῷ Δαυὶδ ἔτι υἱοὶ καὶ θυγατέρες.
14
14
And these are the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem; Sammus, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon. καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν γεννηθέντων αὐτῷ ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ· Σαμμοὺς καὶ Σωβὰβ καὶ Νάθαν καὶ Σαλωμὼν

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. Καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ὅτι κέχρισται Δαυὶδ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἀνέβησαν πάντες οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ζητεῖν τὸν Δαυίδ· καὶ ἤκουσε Δαυὶδ καὶ κατέβη εἰς τὴν περιοχήν.
18
18
And the Philistines came, and assembled in the valley of the giants. καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι παραγίνονται καὶ συνέπεσαν εἰς τὴν κοιλάδα τῶν Τιτάνων
19
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. καὶ ἠρώτησε Δαυὶδ διὰ Κυρίου λέγων· εἰ ἀναβῶ πρὸς τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ παραδώσεις αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖράς μου; καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Δαυίδ· ἀνάβαινε, ὅτι παραδιδοὺς παραδώσω τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου.
20
20
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. καὶ ἦλθε Δαυὶδ ἐκ τῶν ἐπάνωδιακοπῶν καὶ ἔκοψε τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους ἐκεῖ, καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· διέκοψε Κύριος τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ἀλλοφύλους ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ, ὡς διακόπτεται ὕδατα· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου, ᾿Επάνω διακοπῶν.
21
21
And they leave there their gods, and David and his men with him took them. καὶ καταλιμπάνουσιν ἐκεῖ τοὺς θεοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐλάβοσαν αὐτοὺς Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
22
22
And the Philistines came up yet again, and assembled in the valley of Giants. καὶ προσέθεντο ἔτι ἀλλόφυλοι τοῦ ἀναβῆναι καὶ συνέπεσαν ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τῶν Τιτάνων.
23
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. καὶ ἐπηρώτησε Δαυὶδ διὰ Κυρίου καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· οὐκ ἀναβήσῃ εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῶν, ἀποστρέφου ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν καὶ παρέσῃ αὐτοῖς πλησίον τοῦ Κλαυθμῶνος·
24
24
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. καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαί σε τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ συγκλεισμοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἄλσους τοῦ Κλαυθμῶνος, τότε καταβήσῃ πρὸς αὐτούς, ὅτι τότε ἐξελεύσεται Κύριος ἔμπροσθέν σου κόπτειν ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.
25
25
And David did as the Lord commanded him, and smote the Philistines from Gabaon as far as the land of Gazera. καὶ ἐποίησε Δαυὶδ καθὼς ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ Κύριος, καὶ ἐπάταξε τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους ἀπό Γαβαὼν ἕως τῆς γῆς Γαζηρά.

And David again gathered all the young men of Israel, about seventy thousand. ΚΑΙ συνήγαγεν ἔτι Δαυὶδ πάντα νεανίαν ἐξ ᾿Ισραήλ, ὡς ἑβδομήκοντα χιλιάδας.
2
2
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. καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυὶδ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀρχόντων ᾿Ιούδα ἐν ἀναβάσει τοῦ ἀναγαγεῖν ἐκεῖθεν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἐφ᾿ ἣν ἐπεκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Κυρίου τῶν δυνάμεων καθημένου ἐπὶ τῶν Χερουβὶν ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς.
3
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. καὶ ἐπεβίβασαν τὴν κιβωτὸν Κυρίου ἐφ᾿ ἅμαξαν καινὴν καὶ ᾖραν αὐτὴν ἐξ οἴκου ᾿Αμιναδὰβ τοῦ ἐν τῷ βουνῷ· καὶ ᾿Οζὰ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ υἱοὶ ᾿Αμιναδὰβ ἦγον τὴν ἅμαξαν σὺν τῇ κιβωτῷ,
4
4
And his brethren went before the ark. καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπορεύοντο ἔμπροσθεν τῆς κιβωτοῦ.
5
5
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. καὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ παίζοντες ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ἐν ὀργάνοις ἡρμοσμένοις ἐν ἰσχύϊ, καὶ ἐν ᾠδαῖς καὶ ἐν κινύραις καὶ ἐν νάβλαις καὶ ἐν τυμπάνοις καὶ ἐν κυμβάλοις καὶ ἐν αὐλοῖς.
6
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. καὶ παραγίνονται ἕως ἅλω Ναχών, καὶ ἐξέτεινεν ᾿Οζὰ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ κατασχεῖν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐκράτησεν αὐτήν, ὅτι περιέσπασεν αὐτὴν ὁ μόσχος.
7
7
And the Lord was very angry with Oza; and God smote him there: and he died there by the ark of the Lord before God. καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ Κύριος τῷ ᾿Οζά, καὶ ἔπαισεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ ὁ Θεός, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκεῖ παρὰ τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Κυρίου ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ.
8
8
And David was dispirited because the Lord made a breach upon Oza; and that place was called the breach of Oza until this day. καὶ ἠθύμησε Δαυὶδ ὑπὲρ οὗ διέκοψε Κύριος διακοπὴν ἐν τῷ ᾿Οζά· καὶ ἐκλήθη ὁ τόπος ἐκεῖνος Διακοπὴ ᾿Οζὰ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
9
9
And David feared the Lord in that day, saying, How shall the ark of the Lord come in to me? καὶ ἐφοβήθη Δαυὶδ τὸν Κύριον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ λέγων· πῶς εἰσελεύσεται πρός με ἡ κιβωτὸς Κυρίου;
10
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. καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο Δαυὶδ τοῦ ἐκκλῖναι πρὸς αὐτὸν τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης Κυρίου εἰς τὴν πόλιν Δαυίδ, καὶ ἀπέκλινεν αὐτὴν Δαυὶδ εἰς οἶκον ᾿Αβεδδαρὰ τοῦ Γεθθαίου.
11
11
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. καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ Κυρίου εἰς οἶκον ᾿Αβεδδαρὰ τοῦ Γεθθαίου μῆνας τρεῖς· καὶ εὐλόγησε Κύριος ὅλον τὸν οἶκον ᾿Αβεδδαρὰ καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ.
12
12
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. καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ βασιλεῖ Δαυὶδ λέγοντες· εὐλόγησε Κύριος τὸν οἶκον ᾿Αβεδδαρὰ καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ ἕνεκα τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυὶδ καὶ ἀνήγαγε τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Κυρίου ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου ᾿Αβεδδαρὰ εἰς τὴν πόλιν Δαυὶδ ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ.
13
13
And there were with him bearing the ark seven bands, and for a sacrifice a calf and lambs. καὶ ἦσαν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν ἑπτὰ χοροὶ καὶ θῦμα μόσχος καὶ ἄρνες.
14
14
And David sounded with well-tuned instruments before the Lord, and David was clothed with a fine long robe. καὶ Δαυὶδ ἀνεκρούετο ἐν ὀργάνοις ἡρμοσμένοις ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ὁ Δαυὶδ ἐνδεδυκὼς στολὴν ἔξαλλον.
15
15
And David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of a trumpet. καὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκος ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀνήγαγον τὴν κιβωτὸν Κυρίου μετὰ κραυγῆς καὶ μετὰ φωνῆς σάλπιγγος.
16
16
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. καὶ ἐγένετο τῆς κιβωτοῦ παραγινομένης ἕως πόλεως Δαυὶδ καὶ Μελχὸλ ἡ θυγάτηρ Σαοὺλ διέκυπτε διὰ τῆς θυρίδος καὶ εἶδε τὸν βασιλέα Δαυὶδ ὀρχούμενον καὶ ἀνακρουόμενον ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ ἐξουδένωσεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς.
17
17
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. καὶ φέρουσι τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ ἀνέθησαν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς εἰς μέσον τῆς σκηνῆς, ἧς ἔπηξεν αὐτῇ Δαυίδ· καὶ ἀνήνεγκε Δαυὶδ ὁλοκαυτώματα ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ εἰρηνικάς.
18
18
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. καὶ συνετέλεσε Δαυὶδ συναναφέρων τὰς ὁλοκαυτώσεις καὶ τὰς εἰρηνικὰς καὶ εὐλόγησε τὸν λαὸν ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου τῶν δυνάμεων.
19
19
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. καὶ διεμέρισε παντὶ τῷ λαῷ εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀπὸ Δὰν ἕως Βηρσαβεὲ καὶ ἀπό ἀνδρὸς ἕως γυναικός, ἑκάστῳ κολλυρίδα ἄρτου καὶ ἐσχαρίτην καὶ λάγανον ἀπὸ τηγάνου· καὶ ἀπῆλθε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
20
20
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! καὶ ἐπέστρεψε Δαυὶδ εὐλογῆσαι τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξῆλθε Μελχὸλ ἡ θυγάτηρ Σαοὺλ εἰς ἀπάντησιν Δαυὶδ καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπε· τί δεδόξασται σήμερον ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραήλ, ὃς ἀπεκαλύφθη σήμερον ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς παιδισκῶν τῶν δούλων ἑαυτοῦ, καθὼς ἀποκαλύπτεται ἀποκαλυφθεὶς εἷς τῶν ὀρχουμένων;
21
21
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. καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Μελχόλ· ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ὀρχήσομαι· εὐλογητὸς Κύριος, ὃς ἐξελέξατό με ὑπὲρ τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ ὑπὲρ πάντα τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ τοῦ καταστῆσαί με εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ· καὶ παίξομαι καὶ ὀρχήσομαι ἐνώπιον Κυρίου
22
22
And I will again uncover myself thus, and I will be vile in thine eyes, and with the maid-servants by whom thou saidst that I was not had in honour. καὶ ἀποκαλυφθήσομαι ἔτι οὕτως καὶ ἔσομαι ἀχρεῖος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ μετὰ τῶν παιδισκῶν, ὧν εἶπάς με μὴ δοξασθῆναι.
23
23
And Melchol the daughter of Saul had no child till the day of her death. καὶ τῇ Μελχὸλ θυγατρὶ Σαοὺλ οὐκ ἐγένετο παιδίον ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν αὐτήν.

And it came to pass when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him an inheritance on every side free from all his enemies round about him; ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐκάθισεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ Κύριος κατεκληρονόμησεν αὐτὸν κύκλῳ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ τῶν κύκλῳ,
2

that the king said to Nathan the prophet, Behold now, I live in a house of cedar, and the ark of the Lord dwells in the midst of a tent. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Νάθαν τὸν προφήτην· ἰδοὺ δὴ ἐγὼ κατοικῶ ἐν οἴκῳ κεδρίνῳ, καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ κάθηται ἐν μέσῳ τῆς σκηνῆς.
3

And Nathan said to the king, Go and do all that is in thine heart, for the Lord is with thee. καὶ εἶπε Νάθαν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· πάντα, ὅσα ἂν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου, βάδιζε καὶ ποίει, ὅτι Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ.
4
4
And it came to pass in that night, that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying, καὶ ἐγένετο τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἐγένετο ρῆμα Κυρίου πρὸς Νάθαν λέγων·
5

Go, and say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord, Thou shalt not build me a house for me to dwell in. πορεύου, καὶ εἰπὸν πρὸς τὸν δοῦλόν μου Δαυίδ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· οὐ σὺ οἰκοδομήσεις μοι οἶκον τοῦ κατοικῆσαί με·
6
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, ὅτι οὐ κατῴκηκα ἐν οἴκῳ ἀφ᾿ ἧς ἡμέρας ἀνήγαγον τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης καὶ ἤμην ἐμπεριπατῶν ἐν καταλύματι καὶ ἐν σκηνῇ,
7
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? ἐν πᾶσιν, οἷς διῆλθον ἐν παντὶ ᾿Ισραήλ, εἰ λαλῶν ἐλάλησα πρὸς μίαν φυλὴν τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, ᾧ ἐνετειλάμην ποιμαίνειν τὸν λαόν μου ᾿Ισραὴλ λέγων· ἱνατί οὐκ ᾠκοδομήκατέ μοι οἶκον κέδρινον;
8
8
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. καὶ νῦν τάδε ἐρεῖς τῷ δούλῳ μου Δαυίδ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ· ἔλαβόν σε ἐκ τῆς μάνδρας τῶν προβάτων τοῦ εἶναί σε εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ
9
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. καὶ ἤμην μετὰ σοῦ ἐν πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐπορεύου, καὶ ἐξωλόθρευσα πάντας τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ἀπὸ προσώπου σου καὶ ἐποίησά σε ὀνομαστὸν κατὰ τὸ ὄνομα τῶν μεγάλων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
10
10
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, καὶ θήσομαι τόπον τῷ λαῷ μου τῷ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ καταφυτεύσω αὐτόν, καὶ κατασκηνώσει καθ᾿ ἑαυτὸν καὶ οὐ μεριμνήσει οὐκέτι, καὶ οὐ προσθήσει υἱὸς ἀδικίας τοῦ ταπεινῶσαι αὐτὸν καθὼς ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς,
11
11
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. ἀπὸ τῶν ἡμερῶν, ὧν ἔταξα κριτὰς ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἀναπαύσω σε ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου, καὶ ἀπαγγελεῖ σοι Κύριος ὅτι οἶκον οἰκοδομήσεις αὐτῷ.
12
12
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. καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν πληρωθῶσιν αἱ ἡμέραι σου καὶ κοιμηθήσῃ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων σου, καὶ ἀναστήσω τὸ σπέρμα σου μετὰ σέ, ὃς ἔσται ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας σου, καὶ ἑτοιμάσω τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ·
13
13
He shall build for me a house to my name, and I will set up his throne even for ever. αὐτὸς οἰκοδομήσει μοι οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματί μου, καὶ ἀνορθώσω τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ ἕως εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
14
14
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. ἐγὼ ἔσομαι αὐτῷ εἰς πατέρα, καὶ αὐτὸς ἔσται μοι εἰς υἱόν· καὶ ἐὰν ἔλθῃ ἡ ἀδικία αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλέγξω αὐτὸν ἐν ράβδῳ ἀνδρῶν καὶ ἐν ἁφαῖς υἱῶν ἀνθρώπων·
15
15
But my mercy I will not take from him, as I took it from those whom I removed from my presence. τὸ δὲ ἔλεός μου οὐκ ἀποστήσω ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καθὼς ἀπέστησα ἀφ᾿ ὧν ἀπέστησα ἐκ προσώπου μου.
16
16
And his house shall be made sure, and his kingdom for ever before me, and his throne shall be set up for ever. καὶ πιστωθήσεται ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος ἐνώπιόν μου. καὶ ὁ θρόνος αὐτοῦ ἔσται ἀνωρθωμένος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
17
17
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David. κατὰ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν ὅρασιν ταύτην, οὕτως ἐλάλησε Νάθαν πρὸς Δαυίδ.
18
18
And king David came in, and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord, my Lord, and what is my house, that thou hast loved me hitherto? καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ εἶπε· τίς εἰμι ἐγώ, Κύριέ μου Κύριε, καὶ τίς ὁ οἶκός μου, ὅτι ἠγάπησάς με ἕως τούτων;
19
19
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? καὶ κατεσμικρύνθην μικρὸν ἐνώπιόν σου, Κύριέ μου Κύριε. καὶ ἐλάλησας ὑπὲρ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ δούλου σου εἰς μακράν· οὗτος δὲ ὁ νόμος τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, Κύριέ μου Κύριε.
20
20
And what shall David yet say to thee? and now thou knowest thy servant, O Lord, my Lord. καὶ τί προσθήσει Δαυὶδ ἔτι τοῦ λαλῆσαι πρός σε; καὶ νῦν σὺ οἶδας τὸν δοῦλόν σου, Κύριέ μου Κύριε.
21
21
And thou hast wrought for thy servant's sake, and according to thy heart thou hast wrought all this greatness, to make it known to thy servant, διὰ τὸν λόγον σου πεποίηκας, καὶ κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν σου ἐποίησας πᾶσαν τὴν μεγαλωσύνην ταύτην γνωρίσαι τῷ δούλῳ σου
22
22
that he may magnify thee, O my Lord; for there is no one like thee, and there is no God but thou among all of whom we have heard with our ears. ἕνεκεν τοῦ μεγαλῦναί σε, Κύριέ μου Κύριε, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ὡς σὺ καὶ οὐκ ἔστι Θεὸς πλὴν σοῦ ἐν πᾶσιν, οἷς ἠκούσαμεν ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν ἡμῶν.
23
23
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? καὶ τίς ὡς ὁ λαός σου ᾿Ισραὴλ ἔθνος ἄλλο ἐν τῇ γῇ; ὡς ὡδήγησεν αὐτὸν ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ λυτρώσασθαι αὐτῷ λαόν, τοῦ θέσθαι σε ὄνομα, τοῦ ποιῆσαι μεγαλωσύνην καὶ ἐπιφάνειαν, τοῦ ἐκβαλεῖν σε ἐκ προσώπου τοῦ λαοῦ σου, οὓς ἐλυτρώσω σεαυτῷ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, ἔθνη καὶ σκηνώματα;
24
24
And thou hast prepared for thyself thy people Israel to be a people for ever, and thou, Lord, art become their God. καὶ ἡτοίμασας σεαυτῷ τὸν λαόν σου ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰς λαὸν ἕως αἰῶνος, καὶ σύ, Κύριε, ἐγένου αὐτοῖς εἰς Θεόν.
25
25
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, καὶ νῦν, Κύριέ μου Κύριε, τὸ ρῆμα, ὃ ἐλάλησας περὶ τοῦ δούλου σου καὶ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, πίστωσον ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος, Κύριε παντοκράτωρ Θεὲ τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ· καὶ νῦν καθὼς ἐλάλησας,
26
26
Let thy name be magnified for ever. μεγαλυνθείη τὸ ὄνομά σου ἕως αἰῶνος.
27
27
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. Κύριε παντοκράτωρ Θεὸς ᾿Ισραήλ, ἀπεκάλυψας τὸ ὠτίον τοῦ δούλου σου, λέγων· οἶκον οἰκοδομήσω σοι· διὰ τοῦτο εὗρεν ὁ δοῦλός σου τὴν καρδίαν ἑαυτοῦ τοῦ προσεύξασθαι πρός σε τὴν προσευχὴν ταύτην.
28
28
And now, O Lord my Lord, thou art God; and thy words will be true, and thou hast spoken these good things concerning thy servant. καὶ νῦν, Κύριέ μου Κύριε, σὺ εἶ ὁ Θεός, καὶ οἱ λόγοι σου ἔσονται ἀληθινοί, καὶ ἐλάλησας ὑπὲρ τοῦ δούλου σου τὰ ἀγαθὰ ταῦτα·
29
29
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. καὶ νῦν ἄρξαι καὶ εὐλόγησον τὸν οἶκον τοῦ δούλου σου τοῦ εἶναι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἐνώπιόν σου, ὅτι σύ, Κύριέ μου Κύριε, ἐλάλησας, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς εὐλογίας σου εὐλογηθήσεται ὁ οἶκος τοῦ δούλου σου τοῦ εἶναι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

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. ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ ἐτροπώσατο αὐτούς· καὶ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ τὴν ἀφωρισμένην ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.

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. καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ τὴν Μωὰβ καὶ διεμέτρησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν σχοινίοις κοιμίσας αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἐγένετο τὰ δύο σχοινίσματα τοῦ θανατῶσαι, καὶ τὰ δύο σχοινίσματα ἐζώγρησε, καὶ ἐγένετο Μωὰβ τῷ Δαυὶδ εἰς δούλους φέροντας ξένια.

And David smote Adraazar the son of Raab king of Suba, as he went to extend his power to the river Euphrates. καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ τὸν ᾿Αδρααζὰρ υἱὸν Ραάβ, βασιλέα Σουβά, πορευομένου αὐτοῦ ἐπιστῆσαι τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπί τὸν ποταμὸν Εὐφράτην.

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. καὶ προκατελάβετο Δαυὶδ τῶν αὐτοῦ χίλια ἅρματα καὶ ἑπτά χιλιάδας ἱππέων καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν πεζῶν, καὶ παρέλυσε Δαυὶδ πάντα τὰ ἅρματα καὶ ὑπελίπετο ἑαυτῷ ἑκατὸν ἅρματα.

And Syria of Damascus comes to help Adraazar king of Suba, and David smote twenty-two thousand men belonging to the Syrian. καὶ παραγίνεται Συρία Δαμασκοῦ βοηθῆσαι τῷ ᾿Αδρααζὰρ βασιλεῖ Σουβά, καὶ ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ ἐν τῷ Σύρῳ εἴκοσι δύο χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν.

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. καὶ ἔθετο Δαυὶδ φρουρὰν ἐν Συρίᾳ τῇ κατὰ Δαμασκόν, καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ Σύρος τῷ Δαυὶδ εἰς δούλους φέροντας ξένια. καὶ ἔσωσε Κύριος τὸν Δαυὶδ ἐν πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐπορεύετο.

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. καὶ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ τοὺς χλιδῶνας τοὺς χρυσοῦς, οἳ ἦσαν ἐπὶ τῶν παίδων τῶν ᾿Αδρααζὰρ βασιλέως Σουβά, καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτὰ εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ· καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὰ Σουσακὶμ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἐν τῷ ἀναβῆναι αὐτὸν εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ἐν ἡμέραις Ροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Σολομῶντος.
8
8
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. καὶ ἐκ τῆς Μασβὰκ καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν πόλεων τοῦ ᾿Αδρααζὰρ ἔλαβεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ χαλκὸν πολὺν σφόδρα· ἐν αὐτῷ ἐποίησε Σολομῶν τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν χαλκῆν καὶ τοὺς στύλους καὶ τοὺς λουτῆρας καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη.
9
9
And Thoü the king of Hemath heard that David had smitten all the host of Adraazar. καὶ ἤκουσε Θοοὺ ὁ βασιλεὺς ῾Ημὰθ ὅτι ἐπάταξε Δαυὶδ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν ᾿Αδρααζάρ,
10
10
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. καὶ ἀπέστειλε Θοοὺ ᾿Ιεδδουρὰν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ πρὸς βασιλέα Δαυὶδ ἐρωτῆσαι αὐτὸν τὰ εἰς εἰρήνην καὶ εὐλογῆσαι αὐτὸν ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐπολέμησε τὸν ᾿Αδρααζὰρ καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτόν, ὅτι ἀντικείμενος ἦν τῷ ᾿Αδρααζάρ, καὶ ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ ἦσαν σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ καὶ σκεύη χρυσᾶ καὶ σκεύη χαλκᾶ.
11
11
And these king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and with the gold which he consecrated out of all the cities which he conquered, καὶ ταῦτα ἡγίασεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ τῷ Κυρίῳ μετὰ τοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ μετὰ τοῦ χρυσίου, οὗ ἡγίασεν ἐκ πασῶν τῶν πόλεων, ὧν κατεδυνάστευσεν,
12
12
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. ἐκ τῆς ᾿Ιδουμαίας καὶ ἐκ τῆς Μωὰβ καὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Αμμὼν καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἐξ ᾿Αμαλὴκ καὶ ἐκ τῶν σκύλων ᾿Αδρααζὰρ υἱοῦ Ραὰβ βασιλέως Σουβά.
13
13
And David made himself a name: and when he returned he smote Idumea in Gebelem to the number of eighteen thousand. καὶ ἐποίησε Δαυὶδ ὄνομα· καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀνακάμπτειν αὐτὸν ἐπάταξε τὴν ᾿Ιδουμαίαν ἐν Γεβελὲμ εἰς ὀκτωκαίδεκα χιλιάδας.
14
14
And he set garrisons in Idumea, even in all Idumea: and all the Idumeans were servants to the king. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went. καὶ ἔθετο ἐν τῇ ᾿Ιδουμαίᾳ φρουράν, ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ᾿Ιδουμαίᾳ, καὶ ἐγένοντο πάντες οἱ ᾿Ιδουμαῖοι δοῦλοι τῷ βασιλεῖ. καὶ ἔσωσε Κύριος τὸν Δαυὶδ ἐν πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐπορεύετο.
15
15
And David reigned over all Israel: and David wrought judgment and justice over all his people. καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ πάντα ᾿Ισραήλ. καὶ ἦν Δαυὶδ ποιῶν κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἐπὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.
16
16
And Joab the son of Saruia was over the host; and Josaphat the son of Achilud was keeper of the records. καὶ ᾿Ιωὰβ υἱὸς Σαρουΐας ἐπὶ τῆς στρατιᾶς καὶ ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ υἱὸς ᾿Αχιὰδ ἐπὶ τῶν ὑπομνημάτων,
17
17
And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar, were priests; and Sasa was the scribe, καὶ Σαδοὺκ υἱὸς ᾿Αχιτὼβ καὶ ᾿Αχιμέλεχ υἱὸς ᾿Αβιάθαρ ἱερεῖς, καὶ ᾿Ασὰ ὁ γραμματεύς,
18
18
and Banæas son of Jodaë was councillor, and the Chelethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David, were princes of the court. καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς ᾿Ιωδαὲ σύμβουλος, καὶ ὁ Χελεθθὶ καὶ ὁ Φελεττί· καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Δαυὶδ αὐλάρχαι ἦσαν.

And David said, Is there yet any one left in the house of Saul, that I may deal kindly with him for Jonathan's sake? ΚΑΙ εἶπε Δαυίδ· εἰ ἔστιν ἔτι ὑπολελειμμένος ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Σαοὺλ καὶ ποιήσω μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἔλεος ἕνεκεν ᾿Ιωνάθαν;
2
2
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. καὶ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου Σαοὺλ ἦν παῖς, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Σιβά, καὶ καλοῦσιν αὐτὸν πρὸς Δαυίδ· καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς· σὺ εἶ Σιβά; καὶ εἶπεν· ἐγὼ δοῦλος σός.
3
3
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· εἰ ὑπολέλειπται ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου Σαοὺλ ἔτι ἀνὴρ καὶ ποιήσω μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἔλεος Θεοῦ; καὶ εἶπε Σιβὰ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· ἔτι ἐστίν υἱὸς τῷ ᾿Ιωνάθαν πεπληγὼς τοὺς πόδας.
4
4
And the king said, Where is he? and Siba said to the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Amiel of Lodabar. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· ποῦ οὗτος; καὶ εἶπε Σιβὰ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· ἰδοὺ ἐν οἴκῳ Μαχὶρ υἱοῦ ᾿Αμιὴλ ἐκ τῆς Λαδάβαρ.
5
5
And king David sent, and took him out of the house of Machir the son of Amiel of Lodabar. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεύς Δαυὶδ καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου Μαχὶρ υἱοῦ ᾿Αμιὴλ ἐκ τῆς Λαδάβαρ.

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. καὶ παραγίνεται Μεμφιβοσθὲ υἱὸς ᾿Ιωνάθαν υἱοῦ Σαοὺλ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Δαυὶδ καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δαυίδ·Μεμφιβοσθέ· καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ὁ δοῦλός σου.
7
7
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. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δαυίδ· μὴ φοβοῦ, ὅτι ποιῶν ποιήσω μετὰ σοῦ ἔλεος διὰ ᾿Ιωνάθαν τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ ἀποκαταστήσω σοι πάντα ἀγρὸν Σαοὺλ πατρὸς τοῦ πατρός σου, καὶ σὺ φαγῇ ἄρτον ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης μου διαπαντός.
8
8
And Memphibosthe did obeisance, and said, Who am I thy servant, that thou hast looked upon a dead dog like me? καὶ προσεκύνησε Μεμφιβοσθέ καὶ εἶπε· τίς εἰμι ὁ δοῦλός σου, ὅτι ἐπέβλεψας ἐπὶ τὸν κύνα τὸν τεθνηκότα τὸν ὅμοιον ἐμοί;
9
9
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. καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σιβὰ τὸ παιδάριον Σαοὺλ καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶ τῷ Σαοὺλ καὶ ὅλῳ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ δέδωκα τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ κυρίου σου·
10
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. καὶ ἐργᾷ αὐτῷ τὴν γῆν, σὺ καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου καὶ οἱ δοῦλοί σου, καὶ εἰσοίσεις τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ κυρίου σου ἄρτους, καὶ ἔδεται αὐτούς· καὶ Μεμφιβοσθὲ υἱὸς τοῦ κυρίου σου φάγεται διαπαντὸς ἄρτον ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης μου. (καὶ τῷ Σιβὰ ἦσαν πεντεκαίδεκα υἱοὶ καὶ εἴκοσι δοῦλοι).
11
11
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. καὶ εἶπε Σιβὰ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· κατὰ πάντα, ὅσα ἐντέταλται ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ δούλῳ αὐτοῦ, οὕτω ποιήσει ὁ δοῦλός σου· καὶ Μεμφιβοσθὲ ἤσθιεν ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης Δαυὶδ καθὼς εἷς τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ τοῦ βασιλέως.
12
12
And Memphibosthe had a little son, and his name was Micha: and all the household of Siba were servants to Memphibosthe. καὶ τῷ Μεμφιβοσθὲ υἱὸς μικρὸς ἦν, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Μιχά. καὶ πᾶσα ἡ κατοίκησις τοῦ οἴκου Σιβὰ δοῦλοι τοῦ Μεμφιβοσθέ.
13
13
And Memphibosthe dwelt in Jerusalem, for he continually ate at the table of the king; and he was lame in both his feet. καὶ Μεμφιβοσθὲ κατῴκει ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, ὅτι ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης τοῦ βασιλέως αὐτὸς διαπαντὸς ἤσθιε· καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν χωλὸς ἀμφοτέροις τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτοῦ.

And it came to pass after this that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Annon his son reigned in his stead. ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἀπέθανε βασιλεὺς υἱῶν ᾿Αμμών, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Αννὼν υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ.
2
2
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. καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· ποιήσω ἔλεος μετὰ ᾿Αννὼν υἱοῦ Ναάς, ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἔλεος· καὶ ἀπέστειλε Δαυὶδ παρακαλέσαι αὐτὸν ἐν χειρὶ τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ περὶ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ. καὶ παρεγένοντο οἱ παῖδες Δαυὶδ εἰς τὴν γῆν υἱῶν ᾿Αμμών.
3
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? καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἄρχοντες υἱῶν ᾿Αμμὼν πρὸς ᾿Αννὼν τὸν κύριον αὐτῶν· μὴ παρὰ τὸ δοξάζειν Δαυὶδ τὸν πατέρα σου ἐνώπιόν σου, ὅτι ἀπέστειλέ σοι παρακαλοῦντας; ἀλλ’ οὐχὶ ὅπως ἐρευνήσωσι τὴν πόλιν καὶ κατασκοπήσωσιν αὐτὴν καὶ τοῦ κατασκέψασθαι αὐτὴν ἀπέστειλε Δαυὶδ τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ πρός σε;
4
4
And Annon took the servants of David, and shaved their beards, and cut off their garments in the midst as far as their haunches, and sent them away. καὶ ἔλαβεν ᾿Αννὼν τοὺς παῖδας Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐξύρησε τοὺς πώγωνας αὐτῶν καὶ ἀπέκοψε τοὺς μανδύας αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ ἡμίσει ἕως τῶν ἰσχίων αὐτῶν καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτούς.
5
5
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. καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ Δαυὶδ ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀνδρῶν, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἦσαν οἱ ἄνδρες ἠτιμασμένοι σφόδρα· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· καθίσατε ἐν ῾Ιεριχὼ ἕως τοῦ ἀνατεῖλαι τοὺς πώγωνας ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐπιστραφήσεσθε.
6
6
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. καὶ εἶδον οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Αμμών, ὅτι κατῃσχύνθησαν ὁ λαὸς Δαυίδ, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Αμμὼν καὶ ἐμισθώσαντο τὴν Συρίαν Βαιθραὰμ καὶ τὴν Συρίαν Σουβά, εἴκοσι χιλιάδας πεζῶν, καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Μααχά, χιλίους ἄνδρας, καὶ ᾿Ιστώβ, δώδεκα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν.
7
7
And David heard, and sent Joab and all his host, even the mighty men. καὶ ἤκουσε Δαυίδ, καὶ ἀπέστειλε τὸν ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν, τοὺς δυνατούς.
8
8
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. καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Αμμὼν καὶ παρετάξαντο πόλεμον παρὰ τῇ θύρᾳ τῆς πύλης Συρίας Σουβὰ καὶ Ροὼβ καὶ ᾿Ιστὼβ καὶ Μααχὰ μόνοι ἐν ἀγρῷ.
9
9
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. καὶ εἶδεν ᾿Ιωὰβ ὅτι ἐγενήθη πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀντιπρόσωπον τοῦ πολέμου, ἐκ τοῦ κατὰ πρόσωπον ἐξεναντίας καὶ ἐκ τοῦ ὄπισθεν, καὶ ἐπελέξατο ἐκ πάντων τῶν νεανιῶν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ παρετάξαντο ἐξεναντίας Συρίας.
10
10
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. καὶ τὸ κατάλοιπον τοῦ λαοῦ ἔδωκεν ἐν χειρὶ ᾿Αβεσσὰ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ παρετάξαντο ἐξεναντίας υἱῶν ᾿Αμμών.
11
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. καὶ εἶπεν· ἐὰν κραταιωθῇ Συρία ὑπὲρ ἐμέ, καὶ ἔσεσθέ μοι εἰς σωτηρίαν, καὶ ἐὰν κραταιωθῶσιν υἱοὶ ᾿Αμμὼν ὑπὲρ σέ, καὶ ἐσόμεθα τοῦ σῶσαί σε·
12
12
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. ἀνδρίζου καὶ κραταιωθῶμεν ὑπὲρ τοῦ λαοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ περὶ τῶν πόλεων τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, καὶ Κύριος ποιήσει τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ.
13
13
And Joab and his people with him advanced to battle against Syria, and they fled from before him. καὶ προσῆλθεν ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς πόλεμον πρὸς Συρίαν, καὶ ἔφυγαν ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ.
14
14
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. καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Αμμὼν εἶδαν ὅτι ἔφυγε Συρία, καὶ ἔφυγαν ἀπὸ προσώπου ᾿Αβεσσὰ καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὴν πόλιν. καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν ᾿Ιωὰβ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Αμμὼν καὶ παρεγένετο εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.
15
15
And the Syrians saw that they were worsted before Israel, and they gathered themselves together. καὶ εἶδε Συρία ὅτι ἔπταισεν ἔμπροσθεν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό.
16
16
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. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ᾿Αδρααζὰρ καὶ συνήγαγε τὴν Συρίαν τὴν ἐκ τοῦ πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ Χαλαμάκ, καὶ παρεγένοντο εἰς Αἰλάμ, καὶ Σωβὰκ ἄρχων τῆς δυνάμεως ᾿Αδρααζὰρ ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν.
17
17
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. καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Δαυίδ, καὶ συνήγαγε τὸν πάντα ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ διέβη τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην καὶ παρεγένετο εἰς Αἰλάμ· καὶ παρετάξατο Συρία ἀπέναντι Δαυίδ, καὶ ἐπολέμησαν μετ’ αὐτοῦ.
18
18
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. καὶ ἔφυγε Συρία ἀπὸ προσώπου ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἀνεῖλε Δαυὶδ ἐκ τῆς Συρίας ἑπτακόσια ἅρματα καὶ τεσσαράκοντα χιλιάδας ἱππέων· καὶ τὸν Σωβὰκ τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ ἐπάταξε, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκεῖ.
19
19
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. καὶ εἶδαν πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς οἱ δοῦλοι ᾿Αδρααζὰρ ὅτι ἔπταισαν ἔμπροσθεν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ηὐτομόλησαν μετὰ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐδούλευσαν αὐτοῖς. καὶ ἐφοβήθη Συρία τοῦ σῶσαι ἔτι τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Αμμών.

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. ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ἐπιστρέψαντος τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τῆς ἐξοδίας τῶν βασιλέων, καὶ ἀπέστειλε Δαυὶδ τὸν ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν πάντα ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ διέφθειραν τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Αμμὼν καὶ διεκάθισαν ἐπὶ Ραββάθ· καὶ Δαυὶδ ἐκάθισεν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.

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. καὶ ἐγένετο πρὸς ἑσπέραν καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ ἀπὸ τῆς κοίτης αὐτοῦ καὶ περιεπάτει ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ εἶδε γυναῖκα λουομένην ἀπὸ τοῦ δώματος, καὶ ἡ γυνὴ καλὴ τῷ εἴδει σφόδρα.
3
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? καὶ ἀπέστειλε Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐζήτησε τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ εἶπεν· οὐχὶ αὕτη Βηρσαβεὲ θυγάτηρ ᾿Ελιὰβ γυνὴ Οὐρίου τοῦ Χετταίου;
4
4
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. καὶ ἀπέστειλε Δαυὶδ ἀγγέλους καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτήν, καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτήν, καὶ ἐκοιμήθη μετ’ αὐτῆς, καὶ αὐτὴ ἁγιαζομένη ἀπὸ ἀκαθαρσίας αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς.
5
5
And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child. καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ γυνή· καὶ ἀποστείλασα ἀπήγγειλε τῷ Δαυὶδ καὶ εἶπεν· ἐγώ εἰμι ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχω.
6
6
And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Urias the Chettite; and Joab sent Urias to David. καὶ ἀπέστειλε Δαυὶδ πρὸς ᾿Ιωὰβ λέγων· ἀπόστειλον πρός με τὸν Οὐρίαν τὸν Χετταῖον· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ᾿Ιωὰβ τὸν Οὐρίαν πρὸς Δαυίδ.
7
7
And Urias arrived and went in to him, and David asked him how Joab was, and how the people were, and how the war went on. καὶ παραγίνεται Οὐρίας καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ἐπηρώτησε Δαυὶδ εἰς εἰρήνην ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ εἰς εἰρήνην τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ εἰς εἰρήνην τοῦ πολέμου.
8
8
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. καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ τῷ Οὐρίᾳ· κατάβηθι εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου καὶ νίψαι τοὺς πόδας σου· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Οὐρίας ἐξ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ἄρσις τοῦ βασιλέως.
9
9
And Urias slept at the door of the king with the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house. καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Οὐρίας παρὰ τῇ θύρᾳ τοῦ βασιλέως μετὰ τῶν δούλων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ κατέβη εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
10
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? καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν τῷ Δαυὶδ λέγοντες, ὅτι οὐ κατέβη Οὐρίας εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Οὐρίαν· οὐχὶ ἐξ ὁδοῦ σὺ ἔρχῃ; τί ὅτι οὐ κατέβης εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου;
11
11
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. καὶ εἶπεν Οὐρίας πρὸς Δαυίδ· ἡ κιβωτὸς καὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιούδας κατοικοῦσιν ἐν σκηναῖς, καὶ ὁ κύριός μου ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ οἱ δοῦλοι τοῦ κυρίου μου ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ ἀγροῦ παρεμβάλλουσι· καὶ ἐγὼ εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου τοῦ φαγεῖν καὶ πιεῖν καὶ κοιμηθῆναι μετὰ τῆς γυναικός μου; πῶς; ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, εἰ ποιήσω τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο.
12
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. καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Οὐρίαν· κάθισον ἐνταῦθα καί γε σήμερον, καὶ αὔριον ἐξαποστελῶ σε. καὶ ἐκάθισεν Οὐρίας ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ τῇ ἐπαύριον.
13
13
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. καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν Δαυίδ, καὶ ἔφαγεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔπιε καὶ ἐμέθυσεν αὐτόν· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἑσπέρας τοῦ κοιμηθῆναι ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν δούλων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ οὐ κατέβη.
14
14
And the morning came, and David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Urias. καὶ ἐγένετο πρωΐ καὶ ἔγραψε Δαυὶδ βιβλίον πρὸς ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐν χειρὶ Οὐρίου.
15
15
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. καὶ ἔγραψεν ἐν βιβλίῳ λέγων· εἰσάγαγε τὸν Οὐρίαν ἐξ ἐναντίας τοῦ πολέμου τοῦ κραταιοῦ, καὶ ἀποστραφήσεσθε ἀπὸ ὄπισθεν αὐτοῦ, καὶ πληγήσεται ἀπὸ ὄπισθεν αὐτοῦ, καὶ πληγήσεται καὶ ἀποθανεῖται.
16
16
And it came to pass while Joab was watching against the city, that he set Urias in a place where he knew that valiant men were. καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ φυλάσσειν ᾿Ιωὰβ ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν καὶ ἔθηκε τὸν Οὐρίαν εἰς τὸν τόπον, οὗ ᾔδει ὅτι ἄνδρες δυνάμεως ἐκεῖ.
17
17
And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and some of the people of the servants of David fell, and Urias the Chettite died also. καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἐπολέμουν μετὰ ᾿Ιωάβ, καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ ἐκ τῶν δούλων Δαυίδ, καὶ ἀπέθανε καί γε Οὐρίας ὁ Χετταῖος.
18
18
And Joab sent, and reported to David all the events of the war, so as to tell them to the king. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ Δαυὶδ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ πολέμου λαλῆσαι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα

And he charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast finished reporting all the events of the war to the king, καὶ ἐνετείλατο τῷ ἀγγέλῳ λέγων· ἐν τῷ συντελέσαι πάντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ πολέμου λαλῆσαι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα
20
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? καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ἀναβῇ ὁ θυμὸς τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ εἴπῃ σοι· τί ὅτι ἠγγίσατε πρὸς τὴν πόλιν πολεμῆσαι; οὐκ ᾔδειτε ὅτι τοξεύσουσιν ἀπάνωθεν τοῦ τείχους;
21
21
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. τίς ἐπάταξε τὸν ᾿Αβιμέλεχ υἱὸν ῾Ιεροβάαλ υἱοῦ Νήρ; οὐχὶ γυνὴ ἔρριψε κλάσμα μύλου ἐπ’ αὐτὸν ἀπὸ ἄνωθεν τοῦ τείχους καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐν Θαμασί; ἱνατί προσηγάγετε πρὸς τὸ τεῖχος; καὶ ἐρεῖς· καί γε ὁ δοῦλός σου Οὐρίας ὁ Χετταῖος ἀπέθανε.
22
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? καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ ἄγγελος ᾿Ιωὰβ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ παρεγένετο καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ Δαυὶδ πάντα, ὅσα ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ ᾿Ιωὰβ πάντα τὰ ρήματα τοῦ πολέμου. καὶ ἐθυμώθη Δαυὶδ πρὸς ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον· ἱνατί προσηγάγετε πρὸς τὴν πόλιν τοῦ πολεμῆσαι; οὐκ ᾔδειτε ὅτι πληγήσεσθε ἀπὸ τοῦ τείχους; τίς ἐπάταξε τὸν ᾿Αβιμέλεχ υἱὸν ῾Ιεροβάαλ; οὐχὶ γυνὴ ἔρριψεν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν κλάσμα μύλου ἀπὸ τοῦ τείχους καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐν Θαμασί; ἱνατί προσηγάγετε πρὸς τὸ τεῖχος;
23
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος πρὸς Δαυὶδ ὅτι ἐκραταίωσαν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς οἱ ἄνδρες καὶ ἐξῆλθαν ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς εἰς τὸν ἀγρόν, καὶ ἐγενήθημεν ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ἕως τῆς θύρας τῆς πύλης,
24
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. καὶ ἐτόξευσαν οἱ τοξεύοντες πρὸς τοὺς παῖδάς σου ἀπάνωθεν τοῦ τείχους, καὶ ἀπέθανον τῶν παίδων τοῦ βασιλέως, καί γε ὁ δοῦλος σου Οὐρίας ὁ Χετταῖος ἀπέθανε.
25
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. καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον· τάδε ἐρεῖς πρὸς ᾿Ιωάβ· μὴ πονηρὸν ἔστω ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο, ὅτι ποτὲ μὲν οὕτως καὶ ποτὲ οὕτως φάγεται ἡ μάχαιρα· κραταίωσον τὸν πόλεμόν σου εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ κατάσπασον αὐτὴν καὶ κραταίωσον αὐτήν.
26
26
And the wife of Urias heard that Urias her husband was dead, and she mourned for her husband. καὶ ἤκουσεν ἡ γυνὴ Οὐρίου ὅτι ἀπέθανεν Οὐρίας ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐκόψατο τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς.
27
27
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. καὶ διῆλθε τὸ πένθος καὶ ἀπέστειλε Δαυίδ, καὶ συνήγαγεν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα, καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ υἱόν. καὶ πονηρὸν ἐφάνη τὸ ρῆμα, ὃ ἐποίησε Δαυίδ, ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου.
Chapter 12
Κεφάλαιο 12

And the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to David; and he went in to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor. ΚΑΙ ἀπέστειλε Κύριος τὸν Νάθαν τὸν προφήτην πρὸς Δαυίδ, καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· δύο ἦσαν ἄνδρες ἐν πόλει μιᾷ, εἷς πλούσιος, καὶ εἷς πένης·
2
2
And the rich man had very many flocks and herds. καὶ τῷ πλουσίῳ ἦν ποίμνια καὶ βουκόλια πολλὰ σφόδρα,
3
3
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. καὶ τῷ πένητι οὐδὲν ἀλλ’ ἢ ἀμνὰς μία μικρά, ἣν ἐκτήσατο καὶ περιεποίησατο καὶ ἐξέθρεψεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἡδρύνθη μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό, ἐκ τοῦ ἄρτου αὐτοῦ ἤσθιε καὶ ἐκ τοῦ ποτηρίου αὐτοῦ ἔπινε καὶ ἐν τῷ κόλπῳ αὐτοῦ ἐκάθευδε καὶ ἦν αὐτῷ ὡς θυγάτηρ·
4
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. καὶ ἦλθε πάροδος τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ πλουσίῳ, καὶ ἐφείσατο λαβεῖν ἐκ τῶν ποιμνίων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ τῶν βουκολίων αὐτοῦ τοῦ ποιῆσαι τῷ ξένῳ ὁδοιπόρῳ τῷ ἐλθόντι πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν ἀμνάδα τοῦ πένητος καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτὴν τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ἐλθόντι πρὸς αὐτόν.
5
5
And David was greatly moved with anger against the man; and David said to Nathan, As the Lord lives, the man that did this thing shall surely die. καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ Δαυὶδ σφόδρα τῷ ἀνδρί, καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Νάθαν· ζῇ Κύριος, ὅτι υἱὸς θανάτου ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ ποιήσας τοῦτο
6
6
And he shall restore the lamb seven-fold, because he has not spared. καὶ τὴν ἀμνάδα ἀποτίσει ἑπταπλασίονα, ἀνθ’ ὧν ὅτι ἐποίησε τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο καὶ περὶ οὗ οὐκ ἐφείσατο.
7
7
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; καὶ εἶπε Νάθαν πρὸς Δαυίδ· σὺ εἶ ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ ποιήσας τοῦτο· τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ᾿Ισραήλ· ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ χρίσας σε εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ἐρρυσάμην σε ἐκ χειρὸς Σαοὺλ
8
8
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. καὶ ἔδωκά σοι τὸν οἶκον τοῦ κυρίου σου καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας τοῦ κυρίου σου ἐν τῷ κόλπῳ σου καὶ ἔδωκά σοι τὸν οἶκον ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιούδα· καὶ εἰ μικρόν ἐστι, προσθήσω σοι κατὰ ταῦτα.
9
9
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. τί ὅτι ἐφαύλισας τὸν λόγον Κυρίου τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ; τὸν Οὐρίαν τὸν Χετταῖον ἐπάταξας ἐν ρομφαίᾳ καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ ἔλαβες σεαυτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα καὶ αὐτὸν ἀπέκτεινας ἐν ρομφαίᾳ υἱῶν ᾿Αμμών.
10
10
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. καὶ νῦν οὐκ ἀποστήσεται ρομφαία ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου σου ἕως αἰῶνος ἀνθ’ ὧν ὅτι ἐξουδένωσάς με καὶ ἔλαβες τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ Οὐρίου τοῦ Χετταίου τοῦ εἶναί σοι εἰς γυναῖκα.
11
11
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. τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξεγείρω ἐπὶ σὲ κακὰ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου σου καὶ λήψομαι τὰς γυναῖκάς σου κατ’ ὀφθαλμούς σου καὶ δώσω τῷ πλησίον σου, καὶ κοιμηθήσεται μετὰ τῶν γυναικῶν σου ἐναντίον τοῦ ἡλίου τούτου·
12
12
For thou didst it secretly, but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and before this sun. ὅτι σὺ ἐποίησας κρυβῇ, κἀγὼ ποιήσω τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο ἐναντίον παντὸς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἀπέναντι τοῦ ἡλίου τούτου.
13
13
And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, And the Lord has put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ τῷ Νάθαν· ἡμάρτηκα τῷ Κυρίῳ. καὶ εἶπε Νάθαν πρὸς Δαυίδ· καὶ Κύριος παρεβίβασε τὸ ἁμάρτημά σου, οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνῃς·
14
14
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. πλὴν ὅτι παροργίζων παρώργισας τοὺς ἐχθροὺς Κυρίου ἐν τῷ ρήματι τούτῳ, καί γε ὁ υἱός σου ὁ τεχθείς σοι θανάτῳ ἀποθανεῖται.
15
15
And Nathan departed to his house. And the Lord smote the child, which the wife of Urias the Chettite bore to David, and it was ill. καὶ ἀπῆλθε Νάθαν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἔθραυσε Κύριος τὸ παιδίον, ὃ ἔτεκεν ἡ γυνὴ Οὐρίου τοῦ Χετταίου τῷ Δαυίδ, καὶ ἠρρώστησε.
16
16
And David enquired of God concerning the child, and David fasted, and went in and lay all night upon the ground. καὶ ἐζήτησε Δαυὶδ τὸν Θεὸν περὶ τοῦ παιδαρίου, καὶ ἐνήστευσε Δαυὶδ νηστείαν καὶ εἰσῆλθε καὶ ηὐλίσθη ἐν σάκκῳ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
17
17
And the elders of his house arose and went to him to raise him up from the ground, but he would not rise, nor did he eat bread with them. καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ ἐγεῖραι αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε καὶ οὐ συνέφαγεν αὐτοῖς ἄρτον.
18
18
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. καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ καὶ ἀπέθανε τὸ παιδάριον· καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν οἱ δοῦλοι Δαυὶδ ἀναγγεῖλαι αὐτῷ ὅτι τέθνηκε τὸ παιδάριον, ὅτι εἶπαν· ἰδοὺ ἐν τῷ τὸ παιδάριον ἔτι ζῆν ἐλαλήσαμεν πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσε τῆς φωνῆς ἡμῶν· καὶ πῶς εἴπωμεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ὅτι τέθνηκε τὸ παιδάριον; καὶ ποιήσει κακά.
19
19
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. καὶ συνῆκε Δαυὶδ ὅτι οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ψιθυρίζουσι, καὶ ἐνόησε Δαυὶδ ὅτι τέθνηκε τὸ παιδάριον· καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ· εἰ τέθνηκε τὸ παιδάριον; καὶ εἶπαν· τέθνηκε.
20
20
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. καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ ἐκ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐλούσατο καὶ ἠλείψατο καὶ ἤλλαξε τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ· καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ᾔτησεν ἄρτον φαγεῖν καὶ παρέθηκαν αὐτῷ ἄρτον, καὶ ἔφαγε.
21
21
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. καὶ εἶπαν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ πρὸς αὐτόν· τί τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο, ὃ ἐποίησας ἕνεκα τοῦ παιδαρίου; ἔτι ζῶντος ἐνήστευες καὶ ἔκλαιες καὶ ἠγρύπνεις, καὶ ἡνίκα ἀπέθανε τὸ παιδάριον, ἀνέστης καὶ ἔφαγες ἄρτον καὶ πέπωκας;
22
22
And David said, While the child yet lived, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows if the Lord will pity me, and the child live? καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· ἐν τῷ τὸ παιδάριον ἔτι ζῆν ἐνήστευσα καὶ ἔκλαυσα, ὅτι εἶπα· τίς οἶδεν εἰ ἐλεήσει με Κύριος καὶ ζήσεται τὸ παιδάριον;
23
23
But now it is dead, why should I fast thus? shall I be able to bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me. καὶ νῦν τέθνηκεν· ἱνατί τοῦτο ἐγὼ νηστεύω; μὴ δυνήσομαι ἐπιστρέψαι αὐτὸν ἔτι; ἐγὼ πορεύσομαι πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς οὐκ ἀναστρέψει πρός με.
24
24
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. καὶ παρεκάλεσε Δαυὶδ Βηρσαβεὲ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτὴν καὶ ἐκοιμήθη μετ’ αὐτῆς καὶ συνέλαβε καὶ ἔτεκεν υἱόν, καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Σαλωμών, καὶ Κύριος ἠγάπησεν αὐτόν.
25
25
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name Jeddedi, for the Lord's sake. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐν χειρὶ Νάθαν τοῦ προφήτου, καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ᾿Ιεδεδί, ἕνεκεν Κυρίου.
26
26
And Joab fought against Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city. Καὶ ἐπολέμησεν ᾿Ιωὰβ ἐν Ραββὰθ υἱῶν ᾿Αμμὼν καὶ κατέλαβε τὴν πόλιν τῆς βασιλείας.
27
27
And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbath, and taken the city of waters. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ᾿Ιωὰβ ἀγγέλους πρὸς Δαυὶδ καὶ εἶπεν· ἐπολέμησα ἐν Ραββὰθ καὶ κατελαβόμην τὴν πόλιν τῶν ὑδάτων·
28
28
And now gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, and take it beforehand; lest I take the city first, and my name be called upon it. καὶ νῦν συνάγαγε τὸ κατάλοιπον τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ παρέμβαλε ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν καὶ προκαταλαβοῦ αὐτήν, ἵνα μὴ προκαταλάβωμαι ἐγὼ τὴν πόλιν καὶ κληθῇ τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπ’ αὐτήν.
29
29
And David gathered all the people, and went to Rabbath, and fought against it, and took it. καὶ συνήγαγε Δαυὶδ πάντα τὸν λαὸν καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Ραββὰθ καὶ ἐπολέμησεν ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ κατελάβετο αὐτήν.
30
30
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. καὶ ἔλαβε τὸν στέφανον Μολχὸμ τοῦ βασιλέως αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ σταθμὸς αὐτοῦ τάλαντον χρυσίου καὶ λίθου τιμίου, καὶ ἦν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς Δαυίδ· καὶ σκῦλα τῆς πόλεως ἐξήνεγκε πολλὰ σφόδρα.
31
31
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. καὶ τὸν λαὸν τὸν ὄντα ἐν αὐτῇ ἐξήγαγε καὶ ἔθηκεν ἐν τῷ πρίονι καὶ ἐν τοῖς τριβόλοις τοῖς σιδηροῖς καὶ ὑποτομεῦσι σιδηροῖς καὶ διήγαγεν αὐτοὺς διὰ τοῦ πλινθείου· καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησε πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν υἱῶν ᾿Αμμών. καὶ ἐπέστρεψε Δαυὶδ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.
Chapter 13
Κεφάλαιο 13

And it happened after this that Abessalom the son of David had a very beautiful sister, and her name was Themar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. ΚΑΙ ἐγενήθη μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ τῷ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ υἱῷ Δαυὶδ ἀδελφὴ καλὴ τῷ εἴδει σφόδρα, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῇ Θημάρ, καὶ ἠγάπησεν αὐτὴν ᾿Αμνὼν υἱὸς Δαυίδ.
2
2
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. καὶ ἐθλίβετο ᾿Αμνὼν ὥστε ἀρρωστεῖν διὰ Θημὰρ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι παρθένος ἦν αὕτη, καὶ ὑπέρογκον ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ᾿Αμνὼν τοῦ ποιῆσαί τι αὐτῇ.
3
3
And Amnon had a friend, and his name was Jonadab, the son of Samaa the brother of David: and Jonadab was a very cunning man. καὶ ἦν τῷ ᾿Αμνὼν ἑταῖρος, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ ᾿Ιωναδάβ, υἱὸς Σαμαὰ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ Δαυίδ· καὶ ᾿Ιωναδὰβ ἀνὴρ σοφὸς σφόδρα.
4
4
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. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· τί σοι ὅτι σὺ οὕτως ἀσθενής, υἱὲ τοῦ βασιλέως, τὸ πρωΐ πρωΐ; οὐκ ἀπαγγέλλεις μοι; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ᾿Αμνών· Θημὰρ τὴν ἀδελφὴν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μου ἐγὼ ἀγαπῶ.
5
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. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ᾿Ιωναδάβ· κοιμήθητι ἐπὶ τῆς κοίτης σου καὶ μαλακίσθητι, καὶ εἰσελεύσεται ὁ πατήρ σου τοῦ ἰδεῖν σε, καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτόν· ἐλθέτω δὴ Θημὰρ ἡ ἀδελφή μου καὶ ψωμισάτω με καὶ ποιησάτω κατ’ ὀφθαλμούς μου βρῶμα, ὅπως ἴδω καὶ φάγω ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῆς.
6
6
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. καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ᾿Αμνὼν καὶ ἠρρώστησε, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἰδεῖν αὐτόν, καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αμνὼν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· ἐλθέτω δὴ Θημὰρ ἡ ἀδελφή μου πρός με καὶ κολλυρισάτω ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου δύο κολλυρίδας, καὶ φάγομαι ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς.
7
7
And David sent to Themar to the house, saying, Go now to thy brother's house, and dress him food. καὶ ἀπέστειλε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Θημὰρ εἰς τὸν οἶκον λέγων· πορεύθητι δὴ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου καὶ ποίησον αὐτῷ βρῶμα.
8
8
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. καὶ ἐπορεύθη Θημὰρ εἰς τὸν οἶκον ᾿Αμνὼν ἀδελφοῦ αὐτῆς, καὶ αὐτὸς κοιμώμενος. καὶ ἔλαβε τὸ σταῖς καὶ ἐφύρασε καὶ ἐκολλύρισε κατ’ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἥψησε τὰς κολλυρίδας·
9
9
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. καὶ ἔλαβε τὸ τήγανον καὶ κατεκένωσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε φαγεῖν. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αμνών· ἐξαγάγετε πάντα ἄνδρα ἀπὸ ἐπάνωθέν μου· καὶ ἐξήγαγον πάντα ἄνδρα ἐπάνωθεν αὐτοῦ.
10
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. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αμνὼν πρὸς Θημάρ· εἰσένεγκε τὸ βρῶμα εἰς τὸ ταμιεῖον, καὶ φάγομαι ἐκ τῆς χειρός σου. καὶ ἔλαβε Θημὰρ τὰς κολλυρίδας, ἃς ἐποίησε, καὶ εἰσήνεγκε τῷ ᾿Αμνὼν ἀδελφῷ αὐτῆς εἰς τὸν κοιτῶνα
11
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. καὶ προσήγαγεν αὐτῷ τοῦ φαγεῖν, καὶ ἐπελάβετο αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· δεῦρο κοιμήθητι μετ’ ἐμοῦ, ἀδελφή μου.
12
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. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· μή, ἀδελφέ μου· μὴ ταπεινώσῃς με, διότι οὐ ποιηθήσεται οὕτως ἐν ᾿Ισραήλ, μὴ ποιήσῃς τὴν ἀφροσύνην ταύτην·
13
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. καὶ ἐγὼ ποῦ ἀποίσω τὸ ὄνειδός μου; καὶ σὺ ἔσῃ ὡς εἷς τῶν ἀφρόνων ἐν ᾿Ισραήλ· καὶ νῦν λάλησον δὴ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, ὅτι οὐ μὴ κωλύσῃ με ἀπὸ σοῦ.
14
14
But Amnon would not hearken to her voice; and he prevailed against her, and humbled her, and lay with her. καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ᾿Αμνὼν τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῆς καὶ ἐκραταίωσεν ὑπὲρ αὐτὴν καὶ ἐταπείνωσεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐκοιμήθη μετ’ αὐτῆς.
15
15
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. καὶ ἐμίσησεν αὐτὴν ᾿Αμνὼν μῖσος μέγα σφόδρα, ὅτι μέγα τὸ μῖσος, ὃ ἐμίσησεν αὐτὴν ὑπὲρ τὴν ἀγάπην, ἣν ἠγάπησεν αὐτήν. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ᾿Αμνών· ἀνάστηθι καὶ πορεύου.
16
16
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. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Θημάρ· μή, ἀδελφέ, ὅτι μεγάλη ἡ κακία ἡ ἐσχάτη ὑπὲρ τὴν πρώτην, ἣν ἐποίησας μετ’ ἐμοῦ τοῦ ἐξαποστεῖλαί με. καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ᾿Αμνὼν ἀκοῦσαι τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῆς.
17
17
And he called his servant who had charge of the house, and said to him, Put now this woman out from me, and shut the door after her. καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ τὸν προεστηκότα τοῦ οἴκου καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἐξαποστείλατε δὴ ταύτην ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ ἔξω καὶ ἀπόκλεισον τὴν θύραν ὀπίσω αὐτῆς.
18
18
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. καὶ ἐπ’ αὐτῆς ἦν χιτὼν καρπωτός, ὅτι οὕτως ἐνεδιδύσκοντο αἱ θυγατέρες τοῦ βασιλέως αἱ παρθένοι τοὺς ἐπενδύτας αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτὴν ὁ λειτουργὸς αὐτοῦ ἔξω καὶ ἀπέκλεισε τὴν θύραν ὀπίσω αὐτῆς.
19
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. καὶ ἔλαβε Θημὰρ σποδὸν καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῆς καὶ τὸν χιτῶνα τὸν καρπωτὸν τὸν ἐπ’ αὐτῆς διέρρηξε καὶ ἐπέθηκε τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπορεύθη πορευομένη καὶ κράζουσα.
20

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. καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὴν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτῆς· μὴ ᾿Αμνὼν ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἐγένετο μετὰ σοῦ; καὶ νῦν, ἀδελφή μου, κώφευσον, ὅτι ἀδελφός σού ἐστι· μὴ θῇς τὴν καρδίαν σου τοῦ λαλῆσαι τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο. καὶ ἐκάθισε Θημὰρ χηρεύουσα ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτῆς.
21
21
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. καὶ ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ ἐθυμώθη σφόδρα· καὶ οὐκ ἐλύπησε τὸ πνεῦμα ᾿Αμνὼν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἠγάπα αὐτόν, ὅτι πρωτότοκος αὐτοῦ ἦν.
22
22
And Abessalom spoke not to Amnon, good or bad, because Abessalom hated Amnon, on account of his humbling his sister Themar. καὶ οὐκ ἐλάλησεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ μετὰ ᾿Αμνὼν ἀπὸ πονηροῦ ἕως ἀγαθοῦ,ὅτι ἐμίσει ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ τὸν ᾿Αμνὼν ἐπὶ λόγου, οὗ ἐταπείνωσε Θημὰρ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτοῦ.
23
23
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. Καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς διετηρίδα ἡμερῶν καὶ ἦσαν κείροντες τῷ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἐν Βελασὼρ τῇ ἐχόμενα ᾿Εφραίμ, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως.
24
24
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. καὶ ἦλθεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ δὴ κείρουσι τῷ δούλῳ σου, πορευθήτω δὴ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ μετὰ τοῦ δούλου σου.
25
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ· μὴ δή, υἱέ μου, μὴ πορευθῶμεν πάντες ἡμεῖς, καὶ οὐ μὴ καταβαρυνθῶμεν ἐπὶ σέ. καὶ ἐβιάσατο αὐτόν, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε τοῦ πορευθῆναι καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτόν.
26
26
And Abessalom said to him, And if not, let, I pray thee, my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with thee? καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ εἰ μή, πορευθήτω δὴ μεθ’ ἡμῶν ᾿Αμνὼν ὁ ἀδελφός μου. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς· ἱνατί πορευθῇ μετὰ σοῦ;
27
27
And Abessalom pressed him, and he sent with him Amnon and all the king's sons; and Abessalom made a banquet like the banquet of the king. καὶ ἐβιάσατο αὐτὸν ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ, καὶ ἀπέστειλε μετ’ αὐτοῦ τὸν ᾿Αμνὼν καὶ πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως. καὶ ἐποίησεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ πότον κατὰ τὸν πότον τοῦ βασιλέως.
28
28
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. καὶ ἐνετείλατο ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ τοῖς παιδαρίοις αὐτοῦ λέγων· ἴδετε ὡς ἂν ἀγαθυνθῇ ἡ καρδία ᾿Αμνὼν ἐν τῷ οἴνῳ καὶ εἴπω πρὸς ὑμᾶς· πατάξατε τὸν ᾿Αμνών, καὶ θανατώσατε αὐτόν· μὴ φοβηθῆτε, ὅτι οὐχὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἐντελλόμενος ὑμῖν; ἀνδρίζεσθε καὶ γίνεσθε εἰς υἱοὺς δυνάμεως.
29
29
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. καί ἐποίησαν τὰ παιδάρια ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ τῷ ᾿Αμνὼν καθὰ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ. καὶ ἀνέστησαν πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐπεκάθισαν ἀνὴρ ἐπὶ τὴν ἡμίονον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔφυγαν.
30
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. καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῶν ὄντων ἐν τῷ ὁδῷ καὶ ἡ ἀκοὴ ἦλθε πρὸς Δαυὶδ λέγων· ἐπάταξεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ οὐ κατελείφθη ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐδὲ εἷς.
31
31
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. καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ διέρρηξε τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ οἱ περιεστῶτες αὐτῷ διέρρηξαν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν.
32
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. καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ᾿Ιωναδὰβ υἱὸς Σαμαὰ ἀδελφοῦ Δαυὶδ καὶ εἶπε· μὴ εἰπάτω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεύς, ὅτι πάντα τὰ παιδάρια τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως ἐθανάτωσεν, ὅτι ᾿Αμνὼν μονώτατος ἀπέθανεν· ὅτι ἐπὶ στόματος ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἦν κείμενος ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας, ἧς ἐταπείνωσε Θημὰρ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτοῦ·
33
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. καὶ νῦν μὴ θέσθω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ρῆμα λέγων· πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ βασιλέως ἀπέθανον, ὅτι ἀλλ’ ἢ ᾿Αμνὼν μονώτατος ἀπέθανε.
34
34
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. καὶ ἀπέδρα ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ. καὶ ᾖρε τὸ παιδάριον ὁ σκοπὸς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶδε καὶ ἰδοὺ λαὸς πολὺς πορευόμενος ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ὄπισθεν αὐτοῦ ἐκ πλευρᾶς τοῦ ὄρους ἐν τῇ καταβάσει· καὶ παρεγένετο ὁ σκοπὸς καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ εἶπεν· ἄνδρας ἑώρακα ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ τῆς ῾Ωρωνῆν ἐκ μέρους τοῦ ὄρους.
35
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. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωναδὰβ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· ἰδοὺ οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ βασιλέως πάρεισι· κατὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦ δούλου σου, οὕτως ἐγένετο.
36
36
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. καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα συνετέλεσε λαλῶν, καὶ ἰδοὺ οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ βασιλέως ἦλθαν καὶ ἐπῇραν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῶν καὶ ἔκλαυσαν, καί γε ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἔκλαυσαν κλαυθμὸν μέγαν σφόδρα.
37
37
But Abessalom fled, and went to Tholmi son of Emiud king of Gedsur to the land of Chamaachad: and king David mourned for his son continually. καὶ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἔφυγε καὶ ἐπορεύθη πρὸς Θολμὶ υἱὸν ᾿Εμιοὺδ βασιλέα Γεδσοὺρ εἰς γῆν Μαχάδ. καὶ ἐπένθησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.
38
38
So Abessalom fled, and departed to Gedsur, and was there three years. καὶ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἀπέδρα καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Γεδσοὺρ καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ ἔτη τρία.
39
39
And king David ceased to go out after Abessalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, touching his death. καὶ ἐκόπασε τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ βασιλέως τοῦ ἐξελθεῖν ὀπίσω ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ, ὅτι παρεκλήθη ἐπὶ ᾿Αμνὼν ὅτι ἀπέθανε.
Chapter 14
Κεφάλαιο 14

1
And Joab the son of Saruia knew that the heart of the king was toward Abessalom. ΚΑΙ ἔγνω ᾿Ιωὰβ υἱὸς Σαρουΐας ὅτι ἡ καρδία τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπὶ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ.
2
2
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. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ᾿Ιωὰβ εἰς Θεκωέ, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐκεῖθεν γυναῖκα σοφὴν καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτήν· πένθησον δὴ καὶ ἔνδυσαι ἱμάτια πενθικὰ καὶ μὴ ἀλείψῃ ἔλαιον καὶ ἔσῃ ὡς γυνὴ πενθοῦσα ἐπὶ τεθνηκότι τοῦτο ἡμέρας πολλὰς
3
3
And thou shalt go to the king, and speak to him according to this word. And Joab put the words in her mouth. καὶ ἐλεύσῃ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτὸν κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο· καὶ ἔθηκεν ᾿Ιωὰβ τοὺς λόγους ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῆς.
4
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. καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ γυνὴ ἡ Θεκωῖτις πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς εἰς τὴν γῆν καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ καὶ εἶπε· σῶσον, βασιλεῦ, σῶσον.
5
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. καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὴν ὁ βασιλεύς· τί ἐστί σοι; ἡ δὲ εἶπε· καὶ μάλα γυνὴ χήρα ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ὁ ἀνήρ μου.
6
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. καί γε τῇ δούλῃ σου δύο υἱοί, καὶ ἐμαχέσαντο ἀμφότεροι ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐξαιρούμενος ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔπαισεν ὁ εἷς τὸν ἕνα ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτόν.
7
7
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. καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐπανέστη ὅλη ἡ πατριὰ πρὸς τὴν δούλην σου καὶ εἶπαν· δὸς τὸν παίσαντα τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ θανατώσομεν αὐτὸν ἀντὶ τῆς ψυχῆς τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, οὗ ἀπέκτεινε, καὶ ἐξαροῦμεν καί γε τὸν κληρονόμον ὑμῶν· καὶ σβέσουσι τὸν ἄνθρακά μου τὸν καταλειφθέντα, ὥστε μὴ θέσθαι τῷ ἀνδρί μου κατάλειμμα καὶ ὄνομα ἐπὶ προσώπου τῆς γῆς.
8
8
And the king said to the woman, Go in peace to thy house, and I will give commandment concerning thee. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα· ὑγιαίνουσα βάδιζε εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου, κἀγὼ ἐντελοῦμαι περὶ σοῦ.
9
9
And the woman of Thecoe said to the king, On me, my lord, O king, and on my father's house be the iniquity, and the king and his throne be guiltless. καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνὴ ἡ Θεκωῖτις πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· ἐπ’ ἐμέ, κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ, ἡ ἀνομία καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου, καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ὁ θρόνος αὐτοῦ ἀθῷος.
10
10
And the king said, Who was it that spoke to thee? thou shalt even bring him to me, and one shall not touch him any more. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· τίς ὁ λαλῶν πρός σε; καί ἄξεις αὐτὸν πρὸς ἐμέ, καὶ οὐ προσθήσει ἔτι ἅψασθαι αὐτοῦ.
11
11
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. καὶ εἶπε· μνημονευσάτω δὴ ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν αὐτοῦ πληθυνθῆναι ἀγχιστέα τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ διαφθεῖραι καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξάρωσι τὸν υἱόν μου· καὶ εἶπε· ζῇ Κύριος, εἰ πεσεῖται ἀπὸ τῆς τριχὸς τοῦ υἱοῦ σου ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
12
12
And the woman said, Let now thy servant speak a word to my lord the king. And he said, Say on. καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνή· λαλησάτω δὴ ἡ δούλη σου πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου βασιλέα ρῆμα. καὶ εἶπε· λάλησον.
13
13
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? καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνή· ἱνατί ἐλογίσω τοιοῦτο ἐπὶ λαὸν Θεοῦ; ἦ ἐκ στόματος τοῦ βασιλέως ὁ λόγος οὗτος ὡς πλημμέλεια τοῦ μὴ ἐπιστρέψαι τὸν βασιλέα τὸν ἐξωσμένον αὐτοῦ; 14ὅτι θανάτῳ ἀποθανούμεθα, καὶ ὥσπερ τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ καταφερόμενον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὃ οὐ συναχθήσεται· καὶ λήψεται ὁ Θεὸς ψυχήν, καὶ λογιζόμενος τοῦ ἐξῶσαι ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ἐξεωσμένον.
14
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.
15
15
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; καὶ νῦν ὃ ἦλθον λαλῆσαι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα τὸν κύριόν μου τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο, ὅτι ὄψεταί με ὁ λαός, καὶ ἐρεῖ ἡ δούλη σου· λαλησάτω δὴ πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα, εἴπως ποιήσει ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ ρῆμα τῆς δούλης αὐτοῦ·
16
16
for the king will hear. Let him rescue his handmaid out of the hand of the man that seeks to cast out me and my son from the inheritance of God. ὅτι ἀκούσει ὁ βασιλεύς· ρυσάσθω τὴν δούλην αὐτοῦ ἐκ χειρὸς τοῦ ἀνδρὸς τοῦ ζητοῦντος ἐξᾶραί με καὶ τὸν υἱόν μου ἀπὸ κληρονομίας Θεοῦ.
17
17
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. καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνή· εἴη δὴ ὁ λόγος τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως εἰς θυσίαν, ὅτι καθὼς ἄγγελος Θεοῦ, οὕτως ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῦ ἀκούειν τὸ ἀγαθὸν καὶ τὸ πονηρόν, καὶ Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου ἔσται μετὰ σοῦ.
18
18
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. καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα· μὴ δὴ κρύψῃς ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ ρῆμα, ὃ ἐγὼ ἐπερωτῶ σε. καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνή· λαλησάτω δὴ ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεύς.
19
19
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· μὴ ἡ χεὶρ ᾿Ιωὰβ ἐν παντὶ τούτῳ μετὰ σοῦ; καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνὴ τῷ βασιλεῖ· ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ, εἰ ἔστιν εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ ἢ εἰς τὰ ἀριστερὰ ἐκ πάντων, ὧν ἐλάλησεν ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεύς, ὅτι ὁ δοῦλός σου ᾿Ιωὰβ αὐτὸς ἐνετείλατό μοι, καὶ αὐτὸς ἔθετο ἐν τῷ στόματι τῆς δούλης σου πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους·
20
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. ἕνεκεν τοῦ περιελθεῖν τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ ρήματος τούτου ἐποίησεν ὁ δοῦλός σου ᾿Ιωὰβ τὸν λόγον τοῦτον, καὶ ὁ κύριός μου σοφὸς καθὼς σοφία ἀγγέλου τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ γνῶναι πάντα τὰ ἐν τῇ γῇ.
21
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς ᾿Ιωάβ· ἰδοὺ δὴ ἐποίησά σοι κατὰ τὸν λόγον σου τοῦτον· πορεύου, ἐπίστρεψον τὸ παιδάριον τὸν ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ.
22
22
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. καὶ ἔπεσεν ᾿Ιωὰβ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ προσεκύνησε καὶ εὐλόγησε τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωάβ· σήμερον ἔγνω ὁ δοῦλός σου ὅτι εὗρον χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ, ὅτι ἐποίησεν ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν λόγον τοῦ δούλου αὐτοῦ.
23
23
And Joab arose, and went to Gedsur, and brought Abessalom to Jerusalem. καὶ ἀνέστη ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Γεδσοὺρ καὶ ἤγαγε τὸν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.
24
24
And the king said, Let him return to his house, and not see my face. And Abessalom returned to his house, and saw not the king's face. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· ἀποστραφήτω εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν μου μὴ βλεπέτω καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ βασιλέως οὐκ εἶδε.
25
25
And there was not a man in Israel so very comely as Abessalom: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him. καὶ ὡς ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ οὐκ ἦν ἀνὴρ ἐν παντὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ αἰνετὸς σφόδρα, ἀπὸ ἴχνους ποδὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἕως κορυφῆς αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἦν ἐν αὐτῷ μῶμος.
26
26
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. καὶ ἐν τῷ κείρεσθαι αὐτὸν τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ —καὶ ἐγένετο ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας, ὡς ἂν ἐκείρετο, ὅτι κατεβαρύνετο ἐπ’ αὐτὸν— καὶ κειρόμενος αὐτὴν ἔστησε τὴν τρίχα τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ διακοσίους σίκλους ἐν τῷ σίκλῳ τῷ βασιλικῷ.
27
27
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. καὶ ἐτέχθησαν τῷ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ τρεῖς υἱοὶ καὶ θυγάτηρ μία, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῇ Θημάρ· αὕτη ἦν γυνὴ καλὴ σφόδρα καὶ γίνεται γυνὴ τῷ Ροβοὰμ υἱῷ Σαλωμὼν καὶ τίκτει αὐτῷ τὸν ᾿Αβιά.
28
28
And Abessalom remained in Jerusalem two full years, and he saw not the king's face. καὶ ἐκάθισεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ δύο ἔτη ἡμερῶν, καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ βασιλέως οὐκ εἶδε.
29
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. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς ᾿Ιωὰβ ἀποστεῖλαι αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ἐλθεῖν πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐκ δευτέρου πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε παραγενέσθαι.
30
30
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. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ· ἴδετε, ἡ μερὶς ἐν ἀγρῷ τοῦ ᾿Ιωὰβ ἐχόμενά μου, καὶ αὐτῷ ἐκεῖ κριθαί, πορεύεσθε καὶ ἐμπρήσατε αὐτὴν ἐν πυρί· καὶ ἐνέπρησαν οἱ παῖδες ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ τὴν μερίδα. καὶ παραγίνονται οἱ δοῦλοι ᾿Ιωὰβ πρὸς αὐτὸν διερρηχότες τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπον· ἐνεπύρισαν οἱ δοῦλοι ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ τὴν μερίδα ἐν πυρί.
31
31
And Joab arose, and came to Abessalom into the house, and said to him, Why have thy servants set my field on fire? καὶ ἀνέστη ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ ἦλθε πρὸς ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ εἰς τὸν οἶκον καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· ἱνατί ἐνεπύρισαν οἱ παῖδές σου τὴν μερίδα τὴν ἐμὴν ἐν πυρί;
32
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. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς ᾿Ιωάβ· ἰδοὺ ἀπέστειλα πρός σε λέγων· ἦκε ὧδε, καὶ ἀποστελῶ σε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα λέγων· ἱνατί ἦλθον ἐκ Γεδσούρ; ἀγαθόν μοι ἦν εἶναι ἐκεῖ· καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ βασιλέως οὐκ εἶδον· εἰ δέ ἐστιν ἐν ἐμοὶ ἀδικία, καὶ θανάτωσόν με.
33
33
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. καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ᾿Ιωὰβ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸν ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ. καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ κατεφίλησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ.
Chapter 15
Κεφάλαιο 15

And it came to pass after this that Abessalom prepared for himself chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him. ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἅρματα καὶ ἵππους καὶ πεντήκοντα ἄνδρας παρατρέχειν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.
2
2
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. καὶ ὤρθρισεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ καὶ ἔστη ἀνὰ χεῖρας τῆς ὁδοῦ τῆς πύλης καὶ ἐγένετο πᾶς ἀνήρ, ᾧ ἐγένετο κρίσις, ἦλθε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς κρίσιν, καὶ ἐβόησε πρὸς αὐτὸν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτῷ· ἐκ ποίας πόλεως σὺ εἶ; καὶ εἶπεν· ἐκ μιᾶς φυλῶν ᾿Ισραὴλ ὁ δοῦλός σου.
3
3
And Abessalom said to him, See, thy affairs are right and clear, yet thou hast no one appointed of the king to hear thee. καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ· ἰδοὺ οἱ λόγοι σου ἀγαθοὶ καὶ εὔκολοι, καὶ ὁ ἀκούων οὐκ ἔστι σοι παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως.
4
4
And Abessalom said, O that one would make me a judge in the land; then every man who had a dispute or a cause would come to me, and I would judge him! καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ· τίς με καταστήσει κριτὴν ἐν τῇ γῇ, καὶ ἐπ’ ἐμὲ ἐλεύσεται πᾶς ἀνήρ, ᾧ ἐὰν ᾖ ἀντιλογία καὶ κρίσις, καὶ δικαιώσω αὐτόν;

And it came to pass when a man came near to do him obeisance, that he stretched out his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him. καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐγγίζειν ἄνδρα τοῦ προσκυνῆσαι αὐτῷ καὶ ἐξέτεινε τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπελαμβάνετο αὐτοῦ καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν.

6
And Abessalom did after this manner to all Israel that came to the king for judgment; and Abessalom gained the hearts of the men of Israel. καὶ ἐποίησεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο παντὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ τοῖς παραγινομένοις εἰς κρίσιν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ἰδιοποιεῖτο ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ τὴν καρδίαν ἀνδρῶν ᾿Ισραήλ.
7
7
And it came to pass after forty years, that Abessalom said to his father, I will go now, and pay my vows, which I vowed to the Lord in Chebron. καὶ ἐγένετο ἀπὸ τέλους τεσσαράκοντα ἐτῶν καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ· πορεύσομαι δὴ καὶ ἀποτίσω τὰς εὐχάς μου, ἃς ηὐξάμην τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν Χεβρών·
8
8
For thy servant vowed a vow when I dwelt at Gedsur in Syria, saying, If the Lord should indeed restore me to Jerusalem, then will I serve the Lord. ὅτι εὐχὴν ηὔξατο ὁ δοῦλός σου ἐν τῷ οἰκεῖν με ἐν Γεδσοὺρ ἐν Συρίᾳ λέγων· ἐὰν ἐπιστρέφων ἐπιστρέψῃ με Κύριος εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ λατρεύσω τῷ Κυρίῳ.
9
9
And the king said to him, Go in peace. And he arose and went to Chebron. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς· βάδιζε εἰς εἰρήνην· καὶ ἀναστὰς ἐπορεύθη εἰς Χεβρών.
10
10
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. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ κατασκόπους ἐν πάσαις φυλαῖς ᾿Ισραὴλ λέγων· ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι ὑμᾶς τὴν φωνὴν τῆς κερατίνης καὶ ἐρεῖτε· βεβασίλευκε βασιλεὺς ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἐν Χεβρών.
11
11
And there went with Abessalom two hundred chosen men from Jerusalem; and they went in their simplicity, and knew not anything. καὶ μετὰ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἐπορεύθησαν διακόσιοι ἄνδρες ἐξ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ κλητοὶ καὶ πορευόμενοι τῇ ἁπλότητι αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν πᾶν ρῆμα.
12
12
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. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸν ᾿Αχιτόφελ τὸν Γελμωναῖον τὸν σύμβουλον Δαυὶδ ἐκ τῆς πόλεως αὐτοῦ ἐκ Γωλὰ ἐν τῷ θυσιάζειν αὐτόν. καὶ ἐγένετο σύστρεμμα ἰσχυρόν, καὶ ὁ λαὸς ὁ πορευόμενος καὶ πολὺς μετὰ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ.
13
13
And there came a messenger to David, saying, The heart of the men of Israel is gone after Abessalom. καὶ παρεγένετο ὁ ἀπαγγέλλων πρὸς Δαυὶδ λέγων· ἐγενήθη ἡ καρδία ἀνδρῶν ᾿Ισραὴλ ὀπίσω ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ.
14
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. καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πᾶσι τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ τοῖς μετ’ αὐτοῦ τοῖς ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ· ἀνάστητε καὶ φύγωμεν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν σωτηρία ἀπὸ προσώπου ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ· ταχύνατε τοῦ πορευθῆναι, ἵνα μὴ ταχύνῃ καὶ καταλάβῃ ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐξώσῃ ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς τὴν κακίαν καὶ πατάξῃ τὴν πόλιν ἐν στόματι μαχαίρας.
15
15
And the king's servants said to the king, In all things which our lord the king chooses, behold we are thy servants. καὶ εἶπον οἱ παῖδες τοῦ βασιλέως πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· κατὰ πάντα, ὅσα αἱρεῖται ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν ὁ βασιλεύς, ἰδοὺ οἱ παῖδές σου.
16
16
And the king and all his house went out on foot: and the king left ten women of his concubines to keep the house. καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτῶν· καὶ ἀφῆκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς δέκα γυναῖκας τῶν παλλακῶν αὐτοῦ φυλάσσειν τὸν οἶκον.
17
17
And the king and all his servants went out on foot; and abode in a distant house. καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ πεζῇ καὶ ἔστησαν ἐν οἴκῳ τῷ μακράν.
18
18
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. καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἀνὰ χεῖρα αὐτοῦ παρῆγον καὶ πᾶς Χελεθὶ καὶ πᾶς ὁ Φελεθὶ καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τῆς ἐλαίας ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς παρεπορεύετο ἐχόμενος αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντες οἱ περὶ αὐτὸν καὶ πάντες οἱ ἁδροὶ καὶ πάντες οἱ μαχηταὶ ἑξακόσιοι ἄνδρες, καὶ παρῆσαν ἐπὶ χεῖρα αὐτοῦ· καὶ πᾶς ὁ Χελεθὶ καὶ πᾶς ὁ Φελεθὶ καὶ πάντες οἱ Γεθθαῖοι, οἱ ἑξακόσιοι ἄνδρες οἱ ἐλθόντες τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτῶν ἐκ Γέθ, πορευόμενοι ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ βασιλέως.
19
19
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς ᾿Εθθὶ τὸν Γεθθαῖον· ἱνατί πορεύῃ καὶ σὺ μεθ’ ἡμῶν; ἐπίστρεφε καὶ οἴκει μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως, ὅτι ξένος εἶ σὺ καὶ ὅτι μετῴκησας σὺ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου σου.
20
20
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. εἰ ἐχθὲς παραγέγονας, καὶ σήμερον κινήσω σε μεθ’ ἡμῶν; καί γε μεταναστήσεις τὸν τόπον σου; ἐχθὲς ἡ ἐξέλευσίς σου, καὶ σήμερον μετακινήσω σε μεθ’ ἡμῶν τοῦ πορευθῆναι; καὶ ἐγὼ πορεύσομαι οὗ ἐὰν ἐγὼ πορευθῶ. ἐπιστρέφου καὶ ἐπίστρεψον τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ Κύριος ποιήσει μετὰ σοῦ ἔλεος καὶ ἀλήθειαν.
21
21
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. καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ᾿Εθθὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ εἶπε· ζῇ Κύριος καὶ ζῇ ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεύς, ὅτι εἰς τὸν τόπον, οὗ ἐὰν ᾖ ὁ κύριός μου, καὶ ἐὰν εἰς θάνατον καὶ ἐὰν εἰς ζωήν, ὅτι ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ δοῦλός σου.
22
22
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς ᾿Εθθί· δεῦρο καὶ διάβαινε μετ’ ἐμοῦ· καὶ παρῆλθεν ᾿Εθθὶ ὁ Γεθθαῖος καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος ὁ μετ’ αὐτοῦ.
23
23
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. καὶ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ ἔκλαιε φωνῇ μεγάλῃ. καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς παρεπορεύοντο ἐν τῷ χειμάρρῳ τῶν Κέδρων, καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς διέβη τὸν χειμάρρουν Κέδρων καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς παρεπορεύοντο ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ὁδοῦ τὴν ἔρημον.
24
24
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. καὶ ἰδοὺ καί γε Σαδὼκ καὶ πάντες οἱ Λευῖται μετ’ αὐτοῦ αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης Κυρίου ἀπὸ Βαιθὰρ καὶ ἔστησαν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ. καὶ ἀνέβη ᾿Αβιάθαρ, ἕως ἐπαύσατο πᾶς ὁ λαὸς παρελθεῖν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως.
25
25
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς τὸν Σαδώκ· ἀπόστρεψον τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς τὴν πόλιν· ἐὰν εὕρω χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπιστρέψει με καὶ δείξει μοι αὐτήν καὶ τὴν εὐπρέπειαν αὐτῆς.
26
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. καὶ ἐὰν εἴπῃ οὕτως· οὐκ ἠθέληκα ἐν σοί, ἰδοὺ ἐγώ εἰμι, ποιείτω μοι κατὰ τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ.
27
27
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Σαδὼκ τῷ ἱερεῖ· ἴδετε, σὺ ἐπιστρέφεις εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἐν εἰρήνῃ, καὶ ᾿Αχιμάας ὁ υἱός σου καὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν ὁ υἱὸς ᾿Αβιάθαρ οἱ δύο υἱοὶ ὑμῶν μεθ’ ὑμῶν·
28
28
Behold, I continue in arms in Araboth of the desert, until there come tidings from you to report to me. ἴδετε, ἐγώ εἰμι στρατεύομαι ἐν ᾿Αραβὼθ τῆς ἐρήμου ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν ρῆμα παρ’ ὑμῶν τοῦ ἀπαγγεῖλαί μοι.
29
29
So Sadoc and Abiathar brought back the ark of the Lord to Jerusalem, and it continued there. καὶ ἀπέστρεψε Σαδὼκ καὶ ᾿Αβιάθαρ τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐκεῖ.
30
30
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. καὶ Δαυὶδ ἀνέβαινεν ἐν τῇ ἀναβάσει τῶν ἐλαιῶν ἀναβαίνων καὶ κλαίων καὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν ἐπικεκαλυμμένος, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπορεύετο ἀνυπόδετος, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐπεκάλυψεν ἀνὴρ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέβαινον ἀναβαίνοντες καὶ κλαίοντες.
31
31
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. καὶ ἀνηγγέλη Δαυὶδ λέγοντες· καὶ ᾿Αχιτόφελ ἐν τοῖς συστρεφομένοις μετὰ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ· καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· διασκέδασον δὴ τὴν βουλὴν ᾿Αχιτόφελ, Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου.
32
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. καὶ ἦν Δαυὶδ ἐρχόμενος ἕως τοῦ Ροώς, οὗ προσεκύνησεν ἐκεῖ τῷ Θεῷ, καὶ ἰδοὺ εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῷ Χουσὶ ὁ ἀρχιεταῖρος Δαυὶδ διερρηχὼς τὸν χιτῶνα αὐτοῦ καὶ γῆ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ.
33
33
And David said to him, If thou shouldest go over with me, then wilt thou be a burden to me; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δαυίδ· ἐὰν μὲν διαβῇς μετ’ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἔσῃ ἐπ’ ἐμὲ εἰς βάσταγμα·
34
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. καὶ ἐὰν ἐπιστρέψῃς ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν, καὶ ἐρεῖς τῷ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ· διεληλύθασιν οἱ ἀδελφοί σου, καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς κατόπισθέν μου διελήλυθεν ὁ πατήρ σου, καὶ νῦν παῖς σού εἰμι, βασιλεῦ, ἔασόν με ζῆσαι, παῖς τοῦ πατρός σου ἤμην τότε καὶ ἀρτίως, καὶ νῦν ἐγὼ δοῦλος σός· καὶ διασκεδάσεις μοι τὴν βουλὴν ᾿Αχιτόφελ.
35
35
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. καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ μετὰ σοῦ Σαδὼκ καὶ ᾿Αβιάθαρ οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ ἔσται πᾶν ρῆμα, ὃ ἐὰν ἀκούσῃς ἐξ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἀπαγγελεῖς τῷ Σαδὼκ καὶ τῷ ᾿Αβιάθαρ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν.
36
36
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. ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ μετ’ αὐτῶν δύο υἱοὶ αὐτῶν, ᾿Αχιμάας υἱὸς τῷ Σαδὼκ καὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν υἱὸς τῷ ᾿Αβιάθαρ, καὶ ἀποστελεῖτε ἐν χειρὶ αὐτῶν πρός με πᾶν ρῆμα, ὃ ἐὰν ἀκούσητε.
37
37
So Chusi the friend of David went into the city, and Abessalom was lately gone into Jerusalem. καὶ εἰσῆλθε Χουσὶ ὁ ἑταῖρος Δαυὶδ εἰς τὴν πόλιν, καὶ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἄρτι εἰσεπορεύετο εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.
Chapter 16

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. ΚΑΙ Δαυὶδ παρῆλθε βραχύ τι ἀπὸ τῆς Ροὼς καὶ ἰδοὺ Σιβὰ τὸ παιδάριον Μεμφιβοσθὲ εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ζεῦγος ὄνων ἐπίσεσαγμένων, καὶ ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς διακόσιοι ἄρτοι καὶ ἑκατὸν σταφίδες καὶ ἑκατὸν φοίνικες καὶ νέβελ οἴνου.
2
2
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Σιβά· τί ταῦτά σοι; καὶ εἶπε Σιβά· τὰ ὑποζύγια τῇ οἰκίᾳ τοῦ βασιλέως τοῦ ἐπικαθῆσθαι, καὶ οἱ ἄρτοι καὶ οἱ φοίνικες εἰς βρῶσιν τοῖς παιδαρίοις, καὶ ὁ οἶνος πιεῖν τοῖς ἐκλελυμένοις ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.
3
3
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· καὶ ποῦ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ κυρίου σου; καὶ εἶπε Σιβὰ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· ἰδοὺ κάθηται ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, ὅτι εἶπε· σήμερον ἐπιστρέψουσί μοι οἶκος ᾿Ισραὴλ τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ πατρός μου.
4
4
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Σιβά· ἰδού σοι πάντα, ὅσα ἐστὶ Μεμφιβοσθέ. καὶ εἶπε Σιβὰ προσκυνήσας· εὕροιμι χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ.

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, καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ ἕως Βαουρίμ· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖθεν ἀνὴρ ἐξεπορεύετο ἐκ συγγενείας οἴκου Σαούλ, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Σεμεΐ υἱὸς Γηρά· ἐξῆλθεν ἐκπορευόμενος καὶ καταρώμενος
6
6
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. καὶ λιθάζων ἐν λίθοις τὸν Δαυὶδ καὶ πάντας τοὺς παῖδας τοῦ βασιλέως Δαυίδ. καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἦν καὶ πάντες οἱ δυνατοὶ ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων τοῦ βασιλέως.
7
7
And thus Semei said when he cursed him, Go out, go out, thou bloody man, and man of sin. καὶ οὕτως ἔλεγε Σεμεΐ ἐν τῷ καταρᾶσθαι αὐτόν· ἔξελθε, ἔξελθε ἀνὴρ αἱμάτων καὶ ἀνὴρ ὁ παράνομος·
8
8
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. ἐπέστρεψεν ἐπὶ σὲ Κύριος πάντα τὰ αἵματα τοῦ οἴκου Σαούλ, ὅτι ἐβασίλευσας ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκε Κύριος τὴν βασιλείαν ἐν χειρὶ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ τοῦ υἱοῦ σου· καὶ ἰδοὺ σὺ ἐν τῇ κακίᾳ σου, ὅτι ἀνὴρ αἱμάτων σύ.
9
9
And Abessa the son of Saruia said to the king, Why does this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over now and take off his head. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεσσὰ υἱὸς Σαρουΐας πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· ἱνατί καταρᾶται ὁ κύων ὁ τεθνηκὼς οὗτος τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα; διαβήσομαι δὴ καὶ ἀφελῶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ.
10
10
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? καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· τί ἐμοὶ καὶ ὑμῖν, υἱοὶ Σαρουΐας; ἄφετε αὐτὸν καὶ οὕτως καταράσθω, ὅτι Κύριος εἶπεν αὐτῷ καταρᾶσθαι τὸν Δαυίδ, καὶ τίς ἐρεῖ, ὡς τί ἐποίησας οὕτως;
11
11
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. καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς ᾿Αβεσσὰ καὶ πρὸς πάντας τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ· ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἐξελθὼν ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας μου ζητεῖ τὴν ψυχήν μου, καὶ προσέτι νῦν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ᾿Ιεμινί· ἄφετε αὐτὸν καταρᾶσθαι, ὅτι εἶπεν αὐτῷ Κύριος·
12
12
If by any means the Lord may look on my affliction, thus shall he return me good for his cursing this day. εἴπως ἴδοι Κύριος ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει μου καὶ ἐπιστρέψει μοι ἀγαθὰ ἀντὶ τῆς κατάρας αὐτοῦ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ.
13
13
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. καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυὶδ καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ Σεμεΐ ἐπορεύετο ἐκ πλευρᾶς τοῦ ὄρους ἐχόμενα αὐτοῦ πορευόμενος καὶ καταρώμενος καὶ λιθάζων ἐν λίθοις ἐκ πλαγίων αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ χοΐ πάσσων.
14
14
And the king, and all the people with him, came away and refreshed themselves there. καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐκλελυμένοι καὶ ἀνέψυξαν ἐκεῖ.
15
15
And Abessalom and all the men of Israel went into Jerusalem, and Achitophel with him. Καὶ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰσῆλθον εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ ᾿Αχιτόφελ μετ’ αὐτοῦ.
16
16
And it came to pass when Chusi the chief friend of David came to Abessalom, that Chusi said to Abessalom, Let the king live. καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡνίκα ἦλθε Χουσὶ ὁ ἀρχιεταῖρος Δαυὶδ πρὸς ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ, καὶ εἶπε Χουσὶ πρὸς ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ· ζήτω ὁ βασιλεύς.
17
17
And Abessalom said to Chusi, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not forth with thy friend? καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς Χουσί· τοῦτο τὸ ἔλεός σου μετὰ τοῦ ἑταίρου σου; ἱνατί οὐκ ἀπῆλθες μετὰ τοῦ ἑταίρου σου;
18
18
And Chusi said to Abessalom, Nay, but following whom the Lord, and this people, and all Israel have chosen,—his will I be, and with him will I dwell. καὶ εἶπε Χουσὶ πρὸς ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ· οὐχί, ἀλλὰ κατόπισθεν οὗ ἐξελέξατο Κύριος καὶ ὁ λαὸς οὗτος καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ ᾿Ισραήλ, αὐτῷ ἔσομαι καὶ μετὰ αὐτοῦ καθήσομαι·
19
19
And again, whom shall I serve? should I not in the presence of his son? As I served in the sight of thy father, so will I be in thy presence. καὶ τὸ δεύτερον, τίνι ἐγὼ δουλεύσω; οὐχὶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ; καθάπερ ἐδούλευσα ἐνώπιον τοῦ πατρός σου, οὕτως ἔσομαι ἐνώπιόν σου.
20
20
And Abessalom said to Achitophel, Deliberate among yourselves concerning what we should do. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς ᾿Αχιτόφελ· φέρετε ἑαυτοῖς βουλὴν τί ποιήσωμεν;
21
21
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. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αχιτόφελ πρὸς ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ· εἴσελθε πρὸς τὰς παλλακὰς τοῦ πατρός σου, ἃς κατέλιπε φυλάσσειν τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀκούσεται πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ ὅτι κατῄσχυνας τὸν πατέρα σου, καὶ ἐνισχύσουσιν αἱ χεῖρες πάντων τῶν μετὰ σοῦ.
22
22
And they pitched a tent for Abessalom on the roof, and Abessalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel. καὶ ἔπηξαν τὴν σκηνὴν τῷ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἐπὶ τὸ δῶμα, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς τὰς παλλακὰς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ κατ’ ὀφθαλμοὺς παντὸς ᾿Ισραήλ.
23
23
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. καὶ ἡ βουλὴ ᾿Αχιτόφελ, ἣν ἐβουλεύσατο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταῖς πρώταις, ὃν τρόπον ἐπερωτήσῃ τις ἐν λόγῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ, οὕτως πᾶσα ἡ βουλὴ τοῦ ᾿Αχιτόφελ καί γε τῷ Δαυὶδ καί γε τῷ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ.
Chapter 17

And Achitophel said to Abessalom, Let me now choose out for myself twelve thousand men, and I will arise and follow after David this night: ΚΑΙ εἶπεν ᾿Αχιτόφελ πρὸς ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ· ἐπιλέξω δὴ ἐμαυτῷ δώδεκα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν καὶ ἀναστήσομαι καὶ καταδιώξω ὀπίσω Δαυὶδ τὴν νύκτα·
2
2
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. καὶ ἐπελεύσομαι ἐπ’ αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς κοπιῶν καὶ ἐκλελυμένος χερσί, καὶ ἐκστήσω αὐτόν, καὶ φεύξεται πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πατάξω τὸν βασιλέα μονώτατον·
3
3
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. καὶ ἐπιστρέψω πάντα τὸν λαὸν πρός σε, ὃν τρόπον ἐπιστρέφει ἡ νύμφη πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς· πλὴν ψυχὴν ἀνδρὸς ἑνὸς σὺ ζητεῖς καὶ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ ἔσται εἰρήνη.
4

And the saying was right in the eyes of Abessalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel. καὶ εὐθὴς ὁ λόγος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ καὶ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς πάντων τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ᾿Ισραήλ·
5
5
And Abessalom said, Call now also Chusi the Arachite, and let us hear what is in his mouth, even in his also. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ· καλέσατε δὴ καί γε τὸν Χουσὶ τὸν ᾿Αραχί, καὶ ἀκούσωμεν τί ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ καί γε αὐτοῦ.

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. καὶ εἰσῆλθε Χουσὶ πρὸς ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ· καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων· κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο ἐλάλησεν ᾿Αχιτόφελ· εἰ ποιήσομεν κατὰ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ; εἰ δὲ μή, σὺ λάλησον·
7
7
And Chusi said to Abessalom, This counsel which Achitophel has counselled this one time is not good. καὶ εἶπε Χουσὶ πρὸς ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ· οὐκ ἀγαθὴ αὕτη ἡ βουλή, ἣν ἐβουλεύσατο ᾿Αχιτόφελ τὸ ἅπαξ τοῦτο.
8
8
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. καὶ εἶπε Χουσί· σὺ οἶδας τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ, ὅτι δυνατοί εἰσι σφόδρα καὶ κατάπικροι τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτῶν, ὡς ἄρκος ἠτεκνωμένη ἐν ἀγρῷ καὶ ὡς ὗς τραχεῖα ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ, καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ἀνὴρ πολεμιστὴς καὶ οὐ μὴ καταλύσῃ τὸν λαόν·
9
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. ἰδοὺ γὰρ αὐτὸς νῦν κέκρυπται ἐν ἑνὶ τῶν βουνῶν ἢ ἐν ἑνὶ τῶν τόπων, καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ ἐπιπεσεῖν αὐτοῖς ἐν ἀρχῇ καὶ ἀκούσῃ ὁ ἀκούων καὶ εἴπῃ· ἐγενήθη θραῦσις ἐν τῷ λαῷ τῷ ὀπίσω ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ,
10
10
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. καί γε αὐτὸς υἱὸς δυνάμεως, οὗ ἡ καρδία καθὼς ἡ καρδία τοῦ λέοντος, τηκομένη τακήσεται, ὅτι οἶδε πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ ὅτι δυνατὸς ὁ πατήρ σου καὶ υἱοὶ δυνάμεως οἱ μετ’ αὐτοῦ.
11
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. ὅτι οὕτως συμβουλεύων ἐγὼ συνεβούλευσα, καὶ συναγόμενος συναχθήσεται ἐπὶ σὲ πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀπὸ Δὰν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεὲ ὡς ἡ ἄμμος ἡ ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης εἰς πλῆθος, καὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου πορευόμενον ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν,
12
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. καὶ ἥξομεν πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰς ἕνα τῶν τόπων, οὗ ἐὰν εὕρωμεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ, καὶ παρεμβαλοῦμεν ἐπ’ αὐτόν, ὡς πίπτει δρόσος ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ οὐχ ὑπολειψόμεθα ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ τοῖς ἀνδράσι τοῖς μετ’ αὐτοῦ καί γε ἕνα·
13
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. καὶ ἐὰν εἰς τὴν πόλιν συναχθῇ, καὶ λήψεται πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς τὴν πόλιν ἐκείνην σχοινία καὶ συροῦμεν αὐτὴν ἕως εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν, ὅπως μὴ καταλειφθῇ ἐκεῖ μηδὲ λίθος.
14
14
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. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ ᾿Ισραήλ· ἀγαθὴ ἡ βουλὴ Χουσὶ τοῦ ᾿Αραχὶ ὑπὲρ τὴν βουλὴν ᾿Αχιτόφελ· καὶ Κύριος ἐνετείλατο διασκεδάσαι τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ ᾿Αχιτόφελ τὴν ἀγαθήν, ὅπως ἂν ἐπαγάγῃ Κύριος ἐπὶ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ τὰ κακὰ πάντα.
15
15
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. καὶ εἶπε Χουσὶ ὁ τοῦ ᾿Αραχὶ πρὸς Σαδὼκ καὶ ᾿Αβιάθαρ τοὺς ἱερεῖς· οὕτως καὶ οὕτως συνεβούλευσεν ᾿Αχιτόφελ τῷ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ οὕτως καὶ οὕτως συνεβούλευσα ἐγώ.
16
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. καὶ νῦν ἀποστείλατε ταχὺ καὶ ἀναγγείλατε τῷ Δαυὶδ λέγοντες· μὴ αὐλισθῇς τὴν νύκτα ἐν ᾿Αραβὼθ τῆς ἐρήμου καί γε διαβαίνων σπεῦσον, μή ποτε καταπείσῃ τὸν βασιλέα καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τὸν μετ’ αὐτοῦ.
17
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. καὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν καὶ ᾿Αχιμάας εἱστήκεισαν ἐν τῇ πηγῇ Ρωγήλ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἡ παιδίσκη καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ αὐτοὶ πορεύονται καὶ ἀναγγέλλουσι τῷ βασιλεῖ Δαυίδ, ὅτι οὐκ ἠδύναντο ὀφθῆναι τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν πόλιν.
18
18
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. καὶ εἶδεν αὐτοὺς παιδάριον καὶ ἀνήγγειλε τῷ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ δύο ταχέως καὶ εἰσῆλθαν εἰς οἰκίαν ἀνδρὸς ἐν Βαουρίμ, καὶ αὐτῷ λάκκος ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ, καὶ κατέβησαν ἐκεῖ.
19
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. καὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ διεπέτασε τὸ ἐπικάλυμμα ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ λάκκου καὶ ἔψυξεν ἐπ’ αὐτῷ ἀραφώθ, καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώσθη ρῆμα.
20
20
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. καὶ ἦλθαν οἱ παῖδες ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ εἶπαν· ποῦ ᾿Αχιμάας καὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἡ γυνή· παρῆλθαν μικρὸν τοῦ ὕδατος, καὶ ἐζήτησαν καὶ οὐχ εὗραν καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.
21
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. ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ ἀπελθεῖν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Δαυὶδ καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Δαυίδ· ἀνάστητε καὶ διάβητε ταχέως τὸ ὕδωρ, ὅτι οὕτως ἐβουλεύσατο περὶ ὑμῶν ᾿Αχιτόφελ.
22
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. καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ διέβησαν τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην ἕως τοῦ φωτὸς τοῦ πρωΐ, ἕως ἑνὸς οὐκ ἔλαθεν ὃς οὐ διῆλθε τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην.
23
23
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. καὶ ᾿Αχιτόφελ εἶδεν ὅτι οὐκ ἐγενήθη ἡ βουλὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέσαξε τὴν ὄνον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν πόλιν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐνετείλατο τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπήγξατο καὶ ἀπέθανε καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν τῷ τάφῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.
24
24
And David passed over to Manaim: and Abessalom crossed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him. καὶ Δαυὶδ διῆλθεν εἰς Μαναΐμ, καὶ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ διέβη τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ ᾿Ισραὴλ μετ’ αὐτοῦ.
25
25
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. καὶ τὸν ᾿Αμεσσαΐ κατέστησεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἀντὶ ᾿Ιωὰβ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως· καὶ ᾿Αμεσσαΐ υἱὸς ἀνδρὸς καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ ᾿Ιοθὸρ ὁ ᾿Ισραηλίτης, οὗτος εἰσῆλθε πρὸς ᾿Αβιγαίαν θυγατέρα Νάας ἀδελφὴν Σαρουΐας μητρὸς ᾿Ιωάβ.
26
26
And all Israel and Abessalom encamped in the land of Galaad. καὶ παρενέβαλε πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ εἰς τὴν γῆν Γαλαάδ.
27
27
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, καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἦλθε Δαυὶδ εἰς Μαναΐμ, καὶ Οὐεσβὶ υἱὸς Νάας ἐκ Ραββὰθ υἱῶν ᾿Αμμὼν καὶ Μαχὶρ υἱὸς ᾿Αμιὴλ ἐκ Λωδαβὰρ καὶ Βερζελλὶ ὁ Γαλααδίτης ἐκ Ρωγελλὶμ
28
28
brought ten embroidered beds, (with double coverings,) and ten caldrons, and earthenware, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and meal, and beans, and pulse, ἤνεγκαν δέκα κοίτας καὶ ἀμφιτάπους καὶ λέβητας δέκα καὶ σκεύη κεράμου καὶ πυροὺς καὶ κριθὰς καὶ ἄλευρον καὶ ἄλφιτον καὶ κύαμον καὶ φακὸν
29
29
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. καὶ μέλι καὶ βούτυρον καὶ πρόβατα καὶ σαφφὼθ βοῶν καὶ προσήνεγκαν τῷ Δαυὶδ καὶ τῷ λαῷ τῷ μετ’ αὐτοῦ φαγεῖν, ὅτι εἶπαν· ὁ λαὸς πεινῶν καὶ ἐκλελυμένος καὶ διψῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.

And David numbered the people with him, and set over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds. ΚΑΙ ἐπεσκέψατο Δαυὶδ τὸν λαὸν τὸν μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ κατέστησεν ἐπ’ αὐτῶν χιλιάρχους καὶ ἑκατοντάρχους.
2
2
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. καὶ ἀπέστειλε Δαυὶδ τὸν λαόν, τὸ τρίτον ἐν χειρὶ ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν χειρὶ ᾿Αβεσσὰ υἱοῦ Σαρουΐας ἀδελφοῦ ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν χειρὶ ᾿Εθθὶ τοῦ Γεθθαίου. καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς τὸν λαόν· ἐξελθὼν ἐξελεύσομαι καί γε ἐγὼ μεθ’ ὑμῶν.

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. καὶ εἶπαν· οὐκ ἐξελεύσῃ, ὅτι ἐὰν φυγῇ φύγωμεν, οὐ θήσουσιν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καρδίαν, καὶ ἐὰν ἀποθάνωμεν τὸ ἥμισυ ἡμῶν, οὐ θήσουσιν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καρδίαν, ὅτι σὺ ὡς ἡμεῖς δέκα χιλιάδες· καὶ νῦν ἀγαθὸν ὅτι ἔσῃ ἡμῖν ἐν τῇ πόλει βοήθεια τοῦ βοηθεῖν.
4
4
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. καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὁ βασιλεύς· ὃ ἐὰν ἀρέσῃ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ὑμῶν, ποιήσω. καὶ ἔστη ὁ βασιλεὺς ἀνὰ χεῖρα τῆς πύλης, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐξεπορεύετο εἰς ἑκατοντάδας καὶ εἰς χιλιάδας.
5
5
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. καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ τῷ ᾿Αβεσσὰ καὶ τῷ ᾿Εθθὶ λέγων· φείσασθέ μοι τοῦ παιδαρίου τοῦ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἤκουσεν ἐντελλομένου τοῦ βασιλέως πᾶσι τοῖς ἄρχουσιν ὑπὲρ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ,
6
6
And all the people went out into the wood against Israel; and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim. καὶ ἐξῆλθε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὸν δρυμὸν ἐξεναντίας ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ πόλεμος ἐν τῷ δρυμῷ ᾿Εφραίμ.
7
7
And the people of Israel fell down there before the servants of David, and there was a great slaughter in that day, even twenty thousand men. καὶ ἔπταισεν ἐκεῖ ὁ λαὸς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐνώπιον τῶν παίδων Δαυίδ, καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ θραῦσις μεγάλη ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, εἴκοσι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν.
8
8
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. καὶ ἐγένετο ἐκεῖ ὁ πόλεμος διεσπαρμένος ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐπλεόνασεν ὁ δρυμὸς τοῦ καταφαγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ ὑπὲρ οὓς κατέφαγεν ἐν τῷ λαῷ ἡ μάχαιρα τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ.
9
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. καὶ συνήντησεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἐνώπιον τῶν παίδων Δαυίδ, καὶ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἦν ἐπιβεβηκὼς ἐπὶ τοῦ ἡμιόνου αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ ἡμίονος ὑπὸ τὸ δάσος τῆς δρυὸς τῆς μεγάλης, καὶ περιεπλάκη ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ δρυΐ, καὶ ἐκρεμάσθη ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς γῆς, καὶ ὁ ἡμίονος ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ παρῆλθε. 10καὶ εἶδεν ἀνὴρ εἷς καὶ ἀνήγγειλε τῷ ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ἑώρακα τὸν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ κρεμάμενον ἐν τῇ δρυΐ.
10
And a man saw it, and reported to Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Abessalom hanging in an oak.
11
11
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. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωὰβ τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ἀναγγέλλοντι αὐτῷ· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἑώρακας· τί ὅτι οὐκ ἐπάταξας αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ εἰς τὴν γῆν; καὶ ἐγὼ ἂν ἐδεδώκειν σοι δέκα ἀργυρίου καὶ παραζώνην μίαν.
12
12
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, εἶπε δὲ ὁ ἀνὴρ πρὸς ᾿Ιωάβ· καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ἵστημι ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖράς μου χιλίους σίκλους ἀργυρίου, οὐ μὴ ἐπιβάλω τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως, ὅτι ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν ἡμῶν ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεύς σοι καὶ τῷ ᾿Αβεσσὰ καὶ τῷ ᾿Εθθὶ λέγων· φυλάξατέ μοι τὸ παιδάριον τὸν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ
13
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. μὴ ποιῆσαι ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ ἄδικον· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λόγος οὐ λήσεται ἀπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ σὺ στήσῃ ἐξεναντίας.
14
14
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ᾿Ιωάβ· τοῦτο ἐγὼ ἄρξομαι· οὐχ οὕτως μενῶ ἐνώπιόν σου. καὶ ἔλαβεν ᾿Ιωὰβ τρία βέλη ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνέπηξεν αὐτὰ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἔτι αὐτοῦ ζῶντος ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ τῆς δρυός.
15
15
And ten young men that bore Joab's armour compassed Abessalom, and smote him and slew him. καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν δέκα παιδάρια αἴροντα τὰ σκεύη ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὸν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν αὐτόν.
16
16
And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing Israel, for Joab spared the people. καὶ ἐσάλπισεν ᾿Ιωὰβ ἐν κερατίνῃ, καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν ὁ λαὸς τοῦ μὴ διώκειν ὀπίσω ᾿Ισραήλ, ὅτι ἐφείδετο ᾿Ιωὰβ τοῦ λαοῦ.
17
17
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. καὶ ἔλαβε τὸν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ καὶ ἔρριψεν αὐτὸν εἰς χάσμα μέγα ἐν τῷ δρυμῷ εἰς τὸν βόθυνον τὸν μέγαν καὶ ἐστήλωσεν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν σωρὸν λίθων μέγαν σφόδρα. καὶ πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἔφυγεν ἀνὴρ εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ.
18
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. καὶ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἔτι ζῶν ἔλαβε καὶ ἔστησεν ἑαυτῷ τὴν στήλην, ἐν ᾗ ἐλήφθη, καὶ ἐστήλωσεν αὐτὴν λαβεῖν τὴν στήλην τὴν ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τοῦ βασιλέως, ὅτι εἶπεν· οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτῷ υἱὸς ἕνεκα τοῦ ἀναμνῆσαι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὴν στήλην Χεὶρ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
19
19
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. καὶ ᾿Αχιμάας υἱὸς Σαδὼκ εἶπε· δράμω δὴ καὶ εὐαγγελιῶ τῷ βασιλεῖ, ὅτι ἔκρινε Κύριος ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ.
20
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. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ᾿Ιωάβ· οὐκ ἀνὴρ εὐαγγελίας σὺ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ καὶ εὐαγγελιῇ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἄλλῃ, ἐν δὲ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ οὐκ εὐαγγελιῇ, οὗ εἵνεκεν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ βασιλέως ἀπέθανε.
21
21
And Joab said to Chusi, Go, report to the king all that thou hast seen. And Chusi did obeisance to Joab, and went out. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωὰβ τῷ Χουσί· βαδίσας ἀνάγγειλον τῷ βασιλεῖ ὅσα εἶδες· καὶ προσεκύνησε Χουσὶ τῷ ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ ἐξῆλθε.
22
22
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. καὶ προσέθετο ἔτι ᾿Αχιμάας υἱὸς Σαδὼκ καὶ εἶπε πρὸς ᾿Ιωάβ· καὶ ἔστω ὅτι δράμω καί γε ἐγὼ ὀπίσω τοῦ Χουσί. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωάβ· ἱνατί σὺ τοῦτο τρέχεις, υἱέ μου; δεῦρο, οὐκ ἔστι σοι εὐαγγέλια εἰς ὠφέλειαν πορευομένῳ.
23
23
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. καὶ εἶπε· τί γὰρ ἐὰν δράμω; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ᾿Ιωάβ· δράμε. καὶ ἔδραμεν ᾿Αχιμάας τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν τοῦ Κεχὰρ καὶ ὑπερέβη τὸν Χουσί.
24
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. καὶ Δαυὶδ ἐκάθητο ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν δύο πυλῶν. καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ σκοπὸς εἰς τὸ δῶμα τῆς πύλης πρὸς τὸ τεῖχος καὶ ἐπῇρε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶδε καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ τρέχων μόνος ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ
25
25
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. καὶ ἀνεβόησεν ὁ σκοπὸς καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ βασιλεῖ. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· εἰ μόνος ἐστίν, εὐαγγελία ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐπορεύετο πορευόμενος καὶ ἐγγίζων.
26
26
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. καὶ εἶδεν ὁ σκοπὸς ἄνδρα ἕτερον τρέχοντα, καὶ ἐβόησεν ὁ σκοπὸς πρὸς τῇ πύλῃ καὶ εἶπε· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ἕτερος τρέχων μόνος. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· καί γε οὗτος εὐαγγελιζόμενος.
27
27
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ σκοπός· ἐγὼ ὁρῷ τὸν δρόμον τοῦ πρώτου ὡς δρόμον ᾿Αχιμάας υἱοῦ Σαδώκ. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς οὗτος καί γε εἰς εὐαγγελίαν ἀγαθὴν ἐλεύσεται.
28
28
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. καὶ ἐβόησεν ᾿Αχιμάας καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· εἰρήνη· καὶ προσεκύνησε τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ εἶπεν· εὐλογητὸς Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου, ὃς ἀπέκλεισε τοὺς ἄνδρας τοὺς ἐπαραμένους τὴν χεῖρα αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ μου τῷ βασιλεῖ.
29
29
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· εἰρήνη τῷ παιδαρίῳ τῷ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ; καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αχιμάας· εἶδον τὸ πλῆθος τὸ μέγα τοῦ ἀποστεῖλαι τὸν δοῦλον τοῦ βασιλέως ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ τὸν δοῦλόν σου, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνων τί ἐκεῖ.
30
30
And the king said, Turn aside, stand still here. And he turned aside, and stood. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· ἐπίστρεψον, στηλώθητι ὧδε· καὶ ἐπεστράφη καὶ ἔστη.
31
31
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. καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ Χουσὶ παρεγένετο καὶ εἶπε τῷ βασιλεῖ· εὐαγγελισθήτω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεύς, ὅτι ἔκρινέ σοι Κύριος σήμερον ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν ἐπεγειρομένων ἐπὶ σέ.
32
32
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς τὸν Χουσί· εἰ εἰρήνη τῷ παιδαρίῳ τῷ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ; καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Χουσί· γένοιντο ὡς τὸ παιδάριον οἱ ἐχθροὶ τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ πάντες, ὅσοι ἐπανέστησαν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν εἰς κακά.

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! ΚΑΙ ἀνηγγέλη τῷ ᾿Ιωὰβ λέγοντες· ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεὺς κλαίει καὶ πενθεῖ ἐπὶ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ.
2
2
And they brought Joab word, saying, Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Abessalom. καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ σωτηρία ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ εἰς πένθος παντὶ τῷ λαῷ, ὅτι ἤκουσεν ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ λέγων, ὅτι λυπεῖται ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ.
3
3
And the victory was turned that day into mourning to all the people, for the people heard say that day, The king grieves after his son. καὶ διεκλέπτετο ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, καθὼς διακλέπτεται ὁ λαὸς οἱ αἰσχυνόμενοι ἐν τῷ αὐτοὺς φεύγειν ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ.
4
4
And the people stole away that day to go into the city, as people steal away when they are ashamed as they flee in the battle. καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἔκρυψε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἔκραξεν ὁ βασιλεὺς φωνῇ μεγάλῃ λέγων· υἱέ μου ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ, ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ υἱέ μου.
5
5
And the king hid his face: and the king cried with a loud voice, My son Abessalom! Abessalom my son! καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ᾿Ιωὰβ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς τὸν οἶκον καὶ εἶπε· κατῄσχυνας σήμερον τὰ πρόσωπα πάντων τῶν δούλων σου τῶν ἐξαιρουμένων σε σήμερον καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν τῶν υἱῶν σου καὶ τῶν θυγατέρων σου καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν τῶν γυναικῶν σου καὶ τῶν παλλακῶν σου,
6
6
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, τοῦ ἀγαπᾶν τοὺς μισοῦντάς σε καὶ μισεῖν τοὺς ἀγαπῶντάς σε καὶ ἀνήγγειλας σήμερον ὅτι οὐκ εἰσὶν οἱ ἄρχοντές σου, οὐδὲ παῖδες· ὅτι ἔγνωκα σήμερον ὅτι εἰ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἔζη, πάντες ἡμεῖς σήμερον νεκροί, ὅτι τότε τὸ εὐθὲς ἦν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου.
7
7
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. καὶ νῦν ἀναστὰς ἔξελθε καὶ λάλησον εἰς τὴν καρδίαν τῶν δούλων σου, ὅτι ἐν Κυρίῳ ὤμοσα ὅτι εἰ μὴ ἐκπορεύσῃ σήμερον, εἰ αὐλισθήσεται ἀνὴρ μετὰ σοῦ τὴν νύκτα ταύτην· καὶ ἐπίγνωθι σεαυτῷ καὶ κακόν σοι τοῦτο ὑπὲρ πᾶν τὸ κακὸν τὸ ἐπελθόν σοι ἐκ νεότητός σου ἕως τοῦ νῦν.
8
8
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. καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν τῇ πύλῃ, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἀνήγγειλαν λέγοντες· ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεὺς κάθηται ἐν τῇ πύλῃ· καὶ εἰσῆλθε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην. καὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἔφυγεν ἀνὴρ εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτοῦ.
9
9
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. Καὶ ἦν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς κρινόμενος ἐν πάσαις φυλαῖς ᾿Ισραὴλ λέγοντες· ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ ἐρρύσατο ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν ἡμῶν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξείλετο ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ νῦν πέφευγεν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπὸ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ·
10
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. καὶ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ, ὃν ἐχρίσαμεν ἐφ’ ἡμῶν, ἀπέθανεν ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ, καὶ νῦν ἱνατί ὑμεῖς κωφεύετε τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι τὸν βασιλέα; καὶ τὸ ρῆμα παντὸς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἦλθε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα.
11
11
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. καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς Σαδὼκ καὶ πρὸς ᾿Αβιάθαρ τοὺς ἱερεῖς λέγων· λαλήσατε πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους ᾿Ιούδα λέγοντες· ἱνατί γίνεσθε ἔσχατοι τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι τὸν βασιλέα εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ; καὶ λόγος παντὸς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἦλθε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα.
12
12
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. ἀδελφοί μου ὑμεῖς, ὀστᾶ μου καὶ σάρκες μου ὑμεῖς, ἱνατί γίνεσθε ἔσχατοι τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι τὸν βασιλέα εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ;
13
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? καὶ τῷ ᾿Αμεσσαΐ ἐρεῖτε· οὐχὶ ὀστοῦν μου καὶ σάρξ μου σύ; καὶ νῦν τάδε ποιήσαι μοι ὁ Θεὸς καὶ τάδε προσθείη, εἰ μὴ ἄρχων δυνάμεως ἔσῃ ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἀντὶ ᾿Ιωάβ.
14
14
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. καὶ ἔκλινε τὴν καρδίαν παντὸς ἀνδρὸς ᾿Ιούδα ὡς ἀνδρὸς ἑνός, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα λέγοντες· ἐπιστράφηθι σὺ καὶ πάντες οἱ δοῦλοί σου.
15
15
And he bowed the heart of all the men of Juda as that of one man; and they sent to the king, saying, Return thou, and all thy servants. καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου, καὶ ἄνδρες ᾿Ιούδα ἦλθαν εἰς Γάλγαλα τοῦ πορεύεσθαι εἰς ἀπαντὴν τοῦ βασιλέως διαβιβάσαι τὸν βασιλέα τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην.
16
16
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. καὶ ἐτάχυνε Σεμεΐ υἱὸς Γηρὰ υἱοῦ τοῦ ᾿Ιεμινὶ ἐκ Βαουρὶμ καὶ κατέβη μετὰ ἀνδρὸς ᾿Ιούδα εἰς ἀπαντὴν τοῦ βασιλέως Δαυὶδ
17
17
And Semei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Baurim, hasted and went down with the men of Juda to meet king David. καὶ χίλιοι ἄνδρες μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ Βενιαμὶν καὶ Σιβὰ τὸ παιδάριον τοῦ οἴκου Σαοὺλ καὶ πεντεκαίδεκα υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἴκοσι δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ κατεύθυναν τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ βασιλέως
18
18
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, καὶ ἐλειτούργησαν τὴν λειτουργίαν τοῦ διαβιβάσαι τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ διέβη ἡ διάβασις τοῦ ἐξεγεῖραι τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ. καὶ Σεμεΐ υἱὸς Γηρὰ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως διαβαίνοντος αὐτοῦ τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην
19
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; καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· μὴ δὴ λογισάσθω ὁ κύριός μου ἀνομίαν καὶ μὴ μνησθῇς ὅσα ἠδίκησεν ὁ παῖς σου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ὁ κύριός μου ἐξεπορεύετο ἐξ ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, τοῦ θέσθαι τὸν βασιλέα εἰς τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ,
20
20
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. ὅτι ἔγνω ὁ δοῦλός σου ὅτι ἐγὼ ἥμαρτον, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἦλθον σήμερον πρότερος παντὸς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ οἴκου ᾿Ιωσὴφ τοῦ καταβῆναί με εἰς ἀπαντὴν τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως.
21
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. καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ᾿Αβεσσὰ υἱὸς Σαρουΐας καὶ εἶπε· μὴ ἀντὶ τούτου οὐ θανατωθήσεται Σεμεΐ, ὅτι κατηράσατο τὸν χριστὸν Κυρίου;
22
22
And Abessai the son of Saruia answered and said, Shall not Semei therefore be put to death, because he cursed the Lord's anointed? καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· τί ἐμοὶ καὶ ὑμῖν, υἱοὶ Σαρουΐας, ὅτι γίνεσθέ μοι σήμερον εἰς ἐπίβουλον; σήμερον οὐ θανατωθήσεταί τις ἀνὴρ ἐξ ᾿Ισραήλ, ὅτι οὐκ οἶδα εἰ σήμερον βασιλεύω ἐγὼ ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ.
23
23
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Σεμέΐ· οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνῃς· καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς.
24
24
And the king said to Semei, Thou shalt not die: and the king swore to him. καὶ Μεμφιβοσθὲ υἱὸς υἱοῦ Σαοὺλ κατέβη εἰς ἀπαντὴν τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ οὐκ ἐθεράπευσε τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ ὠνυχίσατο, οὐδὲ ἐποίησε τὸν μύστακα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἀπέπλυνεν ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας, ἧς ἀπῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεύς, ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς αὐτὸς παρεγένετο ἐν εἰρήνῃ.
25
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. καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ εἰς ἀπάντησιν τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς· τί ὅτι οὐκ ἐπορεύθης μετ’ ἐμοῦ, Μεμφιβοσθέ;
26
26
And it came to pass when he went into Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, Why didst thou not go with me, Memphibosthe? καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Μεμφιβοσθέ· κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ, ὁ δοῦλός μου παρελογίσατό με, ὅτι εἶπεν ὁ παῖς σου αὐτῷ· ἐπίσαξόν μοι τὴν ὄνον καὶ ἐπιβῶ ἐπ’ αὐτὴν καὶ πορεύσομαι μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως, ὅτι χωλὸς ὁ δοῦλός σου·
27
27
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. καὶ μεθώδευσεν ἐν τῷ δούλῳ σου πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς ὡς ἄγγελος τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ποίησον τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου·
28
28
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. ὅτι οὐκ ἦν πᾶς ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός μου, ἀλλ’ ἢ ὅτι ἄνδρες θανάτου τῷ κυρίῳ μου τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ ἔθηκας τὸν δοῦλόν σου ἐν τοῖς ἐσθίουσι τὴν τράπεζάν σου· καὶ τί ἔστι μοι ἔτι δικαίωμα καὶ τοῦ κεκραγέναι με ἔτι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα;
29
29
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? καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς· ἱνατί λαλεῖς ἔτι τοὺς λόγους σου; εἶπον· σὺ καὶ Σιβὰ διελεῖσθε τὸν ἀγρόν.
30
30
And the king said to him, Why speakest thou any longer of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Siba shall divide the land. καὶ εἶπε Μεμφιβοσθὲ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· καί γε τὰ πάντα λαβέτω μετὰ τὸ παραγενέσθαι τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα ἐν εἰρήνῃ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
31
31
And Memphibosthe said to the king, Yea, let him take all, since my lord the king has come in peace to his house. καὶ Βερζελλὶ ὁ Γαλααδίτης κατέβη ἐκ Ρωγελλὶμ καὶ διέβη μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην ἐκπέμψαι αὐτὸν τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην·
32
32
And Berzelli the Galaadite came down from Rogellim, and crossed over Jordan with the king, that he might conduct the king over Jordan. καὶ Βερζελλὶ ἀνὴρ πρεσβύτερος σφόδρα, υἱὸς ὀγδοήκοντα ἐτῶν, καὶ αὐτὸς διέθρεψε τὸν βασιλέα ἐν τῷ οἰκεῖν αὐτὸν ἐν Μαναΐμ, ὅτι ἀνὴρ μέγας ἦν σφόδρα.
33
33
And Berzelli was a very old man, eighty years old; and he had maintained the king when he dwelt in Manaim; for he was a very great man. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Βερζελλί· σὺ διαβήσῃ μετ’ ἐμοῦ, καὶ διαθρέψω τὸ γῆράς σου μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.
34
34
And the king said to Berzelli, Thou shalt go over with me, and I will nourish thine old age with me in Jerusalem. καὶ εἶπε Βερζελλὶ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· πόσαι ἡμέραι ἐτῶν ζωῆς μου, ὅτι ἀναβήσομαι μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ;
35
35
And Berzelli said to the king, How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem? υἱὸς ὀγδοήκοντα ἐτῶν ἐγώ εἰμι σήμερον· μὴ γνώσομαι ἀνὰ μέσον ἀγαθοῦ καὶ κακοῦ; εἰ γεύσεται ὁ δοῦλός σου ἔτι ὃ φάγομαι ἢ πίομαι; ἢ ἀκούσομαι ἔτι φωνὴν ἆδόντων καὶ ἆδουσῶν; καὶ ἱνατί ἔσται ἔτι ὁ δοῦλός σου εἰς φορτίον ἐπὶ τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα;
36
36
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? ὡς βραχὺ διαβήσεται ὁ δοῦλός σου τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ ἱνατί ἀνταποδίδωσί μοι ὁ βασιλεὺς τὴν ἀνταπόδοσιν ταύτην;
37
37
Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why does the king return me this recompense? καθισάτω δὴ ὁ δοῦλός σου καὶ ἀποθανοῦμαι ἐν τῇ πόλει μου παρὰ τῷ τάφῳ τοῦ πατρὸς μου καὶ τῆς μητρός μου· καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ δοῦλός σου Χαμαὰμ διαβήσεται μετὰ τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ποίησον αὐτῷ τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου.
38
38
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· μετ’ ἐμοῦ διαβήτω Χαμαάμ, κἀγὼ ποιήσω αὐτῷ τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἂν ἐκλέξῃ ἐπ’ ἐμοί, ποιήσω σοι.
39
39
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. καὶ διέβη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην, καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς διέβη· καὶ κατεφίλησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Βερζελλὶ καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ.
40
40
And all the people went over Jordan, and the king went over; and the king kissed Berzelli, and blessed him; and he returned to his place. καὶ διέβη ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς Γάλγαλα, καὶ Χαμαὰμ διέβη μετ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ᾿Ιούδα διαβαίνοντες μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως καί γε τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ λαοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ.
41
41
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. καὶ ἰδοὺ πᾶς ἀνὴρ ᾿Ισραὴλ παρεγένοντο πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· τί ὅτι ἔκλεψάν σε οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ἡμῶν ἀνὴρ ᾿Ιούδα καὶ διεβίβασαν τὸν βασιλέα καὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην καὶ πάντες ἄνδρες Δαυὶδ μετ’ αὐτοῦ;
42
42
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? καὶ ἀπεκρίθη πᾶς ἀνὴρ ᾿Ιούδα πρὸς ἄνδρα ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ εἶπαν· διότι ἐγγίζει πρός με ὁ βασιλεύς· καὶ ἱνατί οὕτως ἐθυμώθης περὶ τοῦ λόγου τούτου; μὴ βρώσει ἐφάγαμεν ἐκ τοῦ βασιλέως, ἢ δόμα ἔδωκεν ἢ ἄρσιν ᾖρεν ἡμῖν;
43
43
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? καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ἀνὴρ ᾿Ισραὴλ τῷ ἀνδρὶ ᾿Ιούδα καὶ εἶπε· δέκα χεῖρές μοι ἐν τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ πρωτότοκος ἐγὼ ἢ σύ, καί γε ἐν τῷ Δαυίδ εἰμι ὑπὲρ σέ· καὶ ἱνατί τοῦτο ὕβρισάς με καὶ οὐκ ἐλογίσθη ὁ λόγος μου πρῶτός μοι τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι τὸν βασιλέα ἐμοί; καὶ ἐσκληρύνθη ὁ λόγος ἀνδρὸς ᾿Ιούδα ὑπὲρ τὸν λόγον ἀνδρὸς ᾿Ισραήλ.
44
And the men of Israel answered the men of Juda, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we are older than you, we have also an interest in David above you: and why have ye thus insulted us, and why was not our advice taken before that of Juda, to bring back our king? And the speech of the men of Juda was sharper than the speech of the men of Israel.
Chapter 20

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. ΚΑΙ ἐκεῖ ἐπικαλούμενος υἱὸς παράνομος, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Σαβεέ, υἱὸς Βοχορὶ ἀνὴρ ὁ ᾿Ιεμινί, καὶ ἐσάλπισε τῇ κερατίνῃ καὶ εἶπεν· οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν μερὶς ἐν Δαυὶδ οὐδὲ κληρονομία ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ υἱῷ ᾿Ιεσσαί· ἀνὴρ εἰς τὰ σκηνώματά σου, ᾿Ισραήλ.
2
2
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. καὶ ἀνέβη πᾶς ἀνὴρ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀπὸ ὄπισθεν Δαυὶδ ὀπίσω Σαβεὲ υἱοῦ Βοχορί. καὶ ἀνὴρ ᾿Ιούδα ἐκολλήθη τῷ βασιλεῖ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου καὶ ἕως ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.
3
3
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. καὶεἰσῆλθε Δαυὶδ εἰς οἶκον αὐτοῦ εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὰς δέκα γυναῖκας τὰς παλλακὰς αὐτοῦ, ἃς ἀφῆκε φυλάσσειν τὸν οἶκον, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰς ἐν οἴκῳ φυλακῆς καὶ διέθρεψεν αὐτὰς καὶ πρὸς αὐτὰς οὐκ εἰσῆλθε, καὶ ἦσαν συνεχόμεναι ἕως θανάτου αὐτῶν, χῆραι ζῶσαι.
4
4
And the king said to Amessai, Call to me the men of Juda for three days, and do thou be present here. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς ᾿Αμεσσαΐ· βόησόν μοι τὸν ἄνδρα ᾿Ιούδα τρεῖς ἡμέρας, σὺ δὲ αὐτοῦ στῆθι.
5
5
And Amessai went to call Juda, and delayed beyond the time which David appointed him. καὶ ἐπορεύθη ᾿Αμεσσαΐ τοῦ βοῆσαι τὸν ᾿Ιούδαν καὶ ἐχρόνισεν ἀπὸ τοῦ καιροῦ, οὗ ἐτάξατο αὐτῷ Δαυίδ.
6
6
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. καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς ᾿Αμεσσαΐ· νῦν κακοποιήσει ἡμᾶς Σαβεὲ υἱὸς Βοχορὶ ὑπὲρ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ, καὶ νῦν σὺ λάβε μετὰ σεαυτοῦ τοὺς παῖδας τοῦ κυρίου σου καὶ καταδίωξον ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ, μήποτε ἑαυτῷ εὕρῃ πόλεις ὀχυρὰς καὶ σκιάσει τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἡμῶν.
7
7
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. καὶ ἐξῆλθον ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ οἱ ἄνδρες ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ ὁ Χερεθὶ καὶ ὁ Φελεθὶ καὶ πάντες οἱ δυνατοὶ καὶ ἐξῆλθον ἐξ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ διῶξαι ὀπίσω Σαβεὲ υἱοῦ Βοχορί.
8
8
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. καὶ αὐτοὶ παρὰ τῷ λίθῳ τῷ μεγάλῳ τῷ ἐν Γαβαών, καὶ ᾿Αμεσσαΐ εἰσῆλθεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν. καὶ ᾿Ιωὰβ περιεζωσμένος μανδύαν τὸ ἔνδυμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπ’ αὐτῷ ἐζωσμένος μάχαιραν ἐζευγμένην ἐπὶ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ ἐν κολεῷ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἡ μάχαιρα ἐξῆλθε καὶ ἔπεσε.
9
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. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωὰβ τῷ ᾿Αμεσσαΐ· εἰ ὑγιαίνεις σὺ ἀδελφέ; καὶ ἐκράτησεν ἡ χεὶρ ἡ δεξιὰ ᾿Ιωὰβ τοῦ πώγωνος ᾿Αμεσσαΐ τοῦ καταφιλῆσαι αὐτόν.
10
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. καὶ ᾿Αμεσσαΐ οὐκ ἐφυλάξατο τὴν μάχαιραν τὴν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ ᾿Ιωάβ, καὶ ἔπαισεν αὐτὸν ἐν αὐτῇ ᾿Ιωὰβ εἰς τὴν ψόαν, καὶ ἐξεχύθη ἡ κοιλία αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν γῆν, καὶ οὐκ ἐδευτέρωσεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀπέθανε. καὶ ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ ᾿Αβεσσαΐ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἐδίωξεν ὀπίσω Σαβεὲ υἱοῦ Βοχορί·
11
11
And there stood over him one of the servants of Joab, and said, Who is he that is for Joab, and who is on the side of David following Joab? καὶ ἀνὴρ ἔστη ἐπ’ αὐτὸν τῶν παιδαρίων ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ εἶπε· τίς ὁ βουλόμενος ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ τίς τοῦ Δαυίδ, ὀπίσω ᾿Ιωάβ;
12
12
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. καὶ ᾿Αμεσσαΐ πεφυρμένος ἐν τῷ αἵματι ἐν μέσῳ τῆς τρίβου, καὶ εἶδεν ἀνήρ, ὅτι εἱστήκει πᾶς ὁ λαός, καὶ ἀπέστρεψε τὸν ᾿Αμεσσαΐ ἐκ τῆς τρίβου εἰς ἀγρὸν καὶ ἐπέρριψεν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν ἱμάτιον, καθότι εἶδε πάντα τὸν ἐρχόμενον ἐπ’ αὐτὸν ἑστηκότα·

And when he was quickly removed from the road, every man of Israel passed after Joab to pursue after Sabee the son of Bochori. ἡνίκα δὲ ἔφθασεν ἐκ τῆς τρίβου, παρῆλθε πᾶς ἀνὴρ ᾿Ισραὴλ ὀπίσω ᾿Ιωάβ τοῦ διῶξαι ὀπίσω Σαβεὲ υἱοῦ Βοχορί.
14
14
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. καὶ διῆλθεν ἐν πάσαις φυλαῖς ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰς ᾿Αβὲλ καὶ εἰς Βαιθμαχὰ καὶ πάντες ἐν Χαρρί, καὶ ἐξεκκλησιάσθησαν, καὶ ἦλθον κατόπισθεν αὐτοῦ.
15
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. καὶ παρεγενήθησαν καὶ ἐπολιόρκουν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν τὴν ᾿Αβὲλ καὶ Βαιθμαχὰ καὶ ἐξέχεαν πρόσχωμα πρὸς τὴν πόλιν, καὶ ἔστη ἐν τῷ προτειχίσματι, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς μετά ᾿Ιωὰβ ἐνοοῦσαν καταβαλεῖν τὸ τεῖχος.
16
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. καὶ ἐβόησε γυνὴ σοφὴ ἐκ τοῦ τείχους καὶ εἶπεν· ἀκούσατε ἀκούσατε, εἴπατε δὴ πρὸς ᾿Ιωάβ· ἔγγισον ἕως ὧδε, καὶ λαλήσω πρὸς αὐτόν.
17
17
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. καὶ προσήγγισε πρὸς αὐτήν, καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνή· εἰ σὺ εἶ ᾿Ιωάβ; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· ἐγώ. εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ· ἄκουσον τοὺς λόγους τῆς δούλης σου. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωάβ· ἀκούω ἐγώ εἰμι.
18
18
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. καὶ εἶπε λέγουσα· λόγον ἐλάλησαν ἐν πρώτοις λέγοντες· ἠρωτημένος ἠρωτήθη ἐν τῇ ᾿Αβὲλ καὶ ἐν Δὰν εἰ ἐξέλιπον ἃ ἔθεντο οἱ πιστοὶ τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, ἐρωτῶντες ἐπερωτήσουσιν ἐν ᾿Αβέλ, καὶ οὕτως εἰ ἐξέλιπον.
19
19
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? ἐγώ εἰμι εἰρηνικὰ τῶν στηριγμάτων ᾿Ισραήλ, σὺ δὲ ζητεῖς θανατῶσαι πόλιν καὶ μητρόπολιν ἐν ᾿Ισραήλ· ἱνατί καταποντίζεις κληρονομίαν Κυρίου;
20
20
And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should ruin or destroy. καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ᾿Ιωάβ, καὶ εἶπεν· ἵλεώς μοι ἵλεώς μοι, εἰ καταποντιῶ καὶ εἰ διαφθερῶ·
21
21
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. οὐχ οὕτως ὁ λόγος, ὅτι ἀνὴρ ἐξ ὄρους ᾿Εφραίμ, Σαβεὲ υἱὸς Βοχορὶ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπῇρε τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα Δαυίδ· δότε αὐτόν μοι μόνον, καὶ ἀπελεύσομαι ἀπάνωθεν τῆς πόλεως. καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνὴ πρὸς ᾿Ιωάβ· ἰδοὺ ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ριφήσεται πρὸς σὲ διὰ τοῦ τείχους.
22
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. καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ γυνὴ πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαὸν καὶ ἐλάλησε πρὸς πᾶσαν τὴν πόλιν ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ αὐτῆς· καὶ ἀφεῖλε τὴν κεφαλὴν Σαβεὲ υἱοῦ Βοχορί. καὶ ἀφεῖλε καὶ ἔβαλε πρὸς ᾿Ιωάβ. καὶ ἐσάλπισεν ἐν κερατίνῃ, καὶ διεσπάρησαν ἀπὸ τῆς πόλεως ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ἀνὴρ εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ᾿Ιωὰβ ἀπέστρεψεν εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα.
23
23
And Joab was over all the forces of Israel: and Banaias the son of Jodae was over the Cherethites and over the Phelethites. Καὶ ὁ ᾿Ιωὰβ πρὸς πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς ᾿Ιωδαὲ ἐπὶ τοῦ Χερεθὶ καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ Φελεθί,
24
24
And Adoniram was over the tribute: and Josaphath the son of Achiluth was recorder. καὶ ᾿Αδωνιρὰμ ἐπὶ τοῦ φόρου, καὶ ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ υἱὸς ᾿Αχιλοὺθ ἀναμιμνήσκων,
25
25
And Susa was scribe: and Sadoc and Abiathar were priests. καὶ Σουσὰ γραμματεύς, καὶ Σαδὼκ καὶ ᾿Αβιάθαρ ἱερεῖς,
26
26
Moreover Iras the son of Iarin was priest to David. καί γε ᾿Ιρὰς ὁ ᾿Ιαρὶν ἦν ἱερεὺς τοῦ Δαυίδ.

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. ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λιμὸς ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Δαυὶδ τρία ἔτη, ἐνιαυτὸς ὁ ἐχόμενος ἐνιαυτοῦ, καὶ ἐζήτησε Δαυὶδ τὸ πρόσωπον Κυρίου. καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἀδικία ἐν θανάτῳ αἱμάτων αὐτοῦ, περὶ οὗ ἐθανάτωσε τοὺς Γαβαωνίτας.
2
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.) καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ τοὺς Γαβαωνίτας καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· καὶ οἱ Γαβαωνῖται οὐχ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραήλ εἰσιν, ὅτι ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐκ τοῦ λείμματος τοῦ ᾿Αμορραίου, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ὤμοσαν αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἐζήτησε Σαοὺλ πατάξαι αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ζηλῶσαι αὐτὸν τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιούδα.
3
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? καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς τοὺς Γαβαωνίτας· τί ποιήσω ἡμῖν καὶ ἐν τίνι ἐξιλάσομαι καὶ εὐλογήσετε τὴν κληρονομίαν Κυρίου;
4
4
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. καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ οἱ Γαβαωνῖται· οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν ἀργύριον ἢ χρυσίον μετὰ Σαοὺλ καὶ μετὰ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν ἀνὴρ θανατῶσαι ἐν ᾿Ισραήλ.
5
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. καὶ εἶπε·τί ὑμεῖς λέγετε καὶ ποιήσω ὑμῖν; καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· ὁ ἀνήρ, ὃς συνετέλεσεν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐδίωξεν ἡμᾶς, ὃς παρελογίσατο ἐξολοθρεῦσαι ἡμᾶς· ἀφανίσωμεν αὐτόν, τοῦ μή ἑστάναι αὐτὸν ἐν παντὶ ὁρίῳ ᾿Ισραήλ·
6
6
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. δότω ἡμῖν ἑπτὰ ἄνδρας ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξηλιάσωμεν αὐτοὺς τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν τῷ Γαβαὼν Σαοὺλ ἐκλεκτοὺς Κυρίου. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· ἐγὼ δώσω.
7
7
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. καὶ ἐφείσατο ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ Μεμφιβοσθὲ υἱὸν ᾿Ιωνάθαν υἱοῦ Σαοὺλ διὰ τὸν ὅρκον Κυρίου τὸν ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Δαυὶδ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον ᾿Ιωνάθαν υἱοῦ Σαούλ·
8
8
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. καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοὺς δύο υἱοὺς Ρεσφὰ θυγατρὸς ῾Αϊᾶ, οὓς ἔτεκε τῷ Σαούλ, τὸν ῾Ερμωνὶ καὶ τὸν Μεμφιβοσθέ, καὶ τοὺς πέντε υἱοὺς τῆς Μιχὸλ θυγατρὸς Σαούλ, οὓς ἔτεκε τῷ ᾿Εσδριὴλ υἱῷ Βερζελλὶ τῷ Μουλαθί,
9
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. καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ τῶν Γαβαωνιτῶν, καὶ ἐξηλίασαν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ὄρει ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ ἔπεσαν οἱ ἑπτὰ αὐτοὶ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό· καὶ αὐτοὶ δὲ ἐθανατώθησαν ἐν ἡμέραις θερισμοῦ ἐν πρώτοις, ἐν ἀρχῇ θερισμοῦ κριθῶν.
10
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. καὶ ἔλαβε Ρεσφὰ θυγάτηρ ῾Αϊᾶ τὸν σάκκον καὶ ἔπηξεν αὐτῇ πρὸς τὴν πέτραν ἐν ἀρχῇ θερισμοῦ κριθῶν, ἕως ἔσταξεν ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἔδωκε τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταπαῦσαι ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ἡμέρας καὶ τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ νυκτός.
11
11
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. καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Δαυὶδ ὅσα ἐποίησε Ρεσφὰ θυγάτηρ ῾Αϊᾶ παλλακὴ Σαούλ· καὶ ἐξελύθησαν, καὶ κατέλαβεν αὐτοὺς Δὰν υἱὸς ᾿Ιωὰ ἐκ τῶν ἀπογόνων τῶν γιγάντων,
12
12
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. καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυὶδ καὶ ἔλαβε τὰ ὀστᾶ Σαοὺλ καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ παρὰ τῶν ἀνδρῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ιαβὶς Γαλαάδ, οἳ ἔκλεψαν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς πλατείας Βαιθσάν, ὅτι ἔστησαν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ἐπάταξαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι τὸν Σαοὺλ ἐν Γελβουέ,
13
13
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. καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ἐκεῖθεν τὰ ὀστᾶ Σαοὺλ καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ συνήγαγε τὰ ὀστᾶ τῶν ἐξηλιασμένων.
14
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. καὶ ἔθαψαν τὰ ὀστᾶ Σαοὺλ καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ τά ὀστᾶ τῶν ἡλιασθέντων ἐν γῇ Βενιαμὶν ἐν τῇ πλευρᾷ ἐν τῷ τάφῳ Κὶς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐποίησαν πάντα, ὅσα ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεύς. καὶ ἐπήκουσεν ὁ Θεὸς τῇ γῇ μετὰ ταῦτα.
15
15
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. Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἔτι πόλεμος τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις μετὰ ᾿Ισραήλ. καὶ κατέβη Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπολέμησαν μετὰ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ ἐξελύθη Δαυίδ.
16
16
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. καὶ ᾿Ιεσβί, ὃςἦν ἐν τοῖς ἐκγόνοις τοῦ Ραφὰ καὶ ὁ σταθμὸς τοῦ δόρατος αὐτοῦ τριακοσίων σίκλων ὁλκὴ χαλκοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς περιεζωσμένος κορύνην, καὶ διενοεῖτο τοῦ πατάξαι τὸν Δαυίδ.
17
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. καὶ ἐβοήθησεν αὐτῷ ᾿Αβεσσὰ υἱὸς Σαρουΐας καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν ἀλλόφυλον καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτόν. τότε ὤμοσαν οἱ ἄνδρες Δαυὶδ λέγοντες· οὐκ ἐξελεύσῃ ἔτι μεθ’ ἡμῶν εἰς πόλεμον καὶ οὐ μὴ σβέσῃς τὸν λύχνον ᾿Ισραήλ.
18
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. καὶ ἐγενήθη μετὰ ταῦτα ἔτι πόλεμος ἐν Γὲθ μετὰ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων. τότε ἐπάταξε Σεβοχὰ ὁ ᾿Αστατωθὶ τὸν Σὲφ ἐν τοῖς ἐκγόνοις τοῦ Ραφά.
19
19
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. καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ πόλεμος ἐν Γὸβ μετὰ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων. καὶ ἐπάταξεν ᾿Ελεανὰν υἱὸς ᾿Αριωργὶμ ὁ Βηθλεεμίτης τὸν Γολιὰθ τὸν Γεθθαῖον, καὶ τὸ ξύλον τοῦ δόρατος αὐτοῦ ὡς ἀντίον ὑφαινόντων.
20
20
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. καὶ ἐγένετο ἔτι πόλεμος ἐν Γέθ. καὶ ἦν ἀνὴρ μαδών, καὶ οἱ δάκτυλοι τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ δάκτυλοι τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ ἓξ καὶ ἕξ, εἰκοσιτέσσαρες ἀριθμῷ, καί γε αὐτὸς ἐτέχθη τῷ Ραφά.
21
21
And he defied Israel, and Jonathan son of Semei brother of David, smote him. καὶ ὠνείδισε τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν ᾿Ιωνάθαν υἱὸς Σεμεΐ ἀδελφοῦ Δαυίδ.
22
22
These four were born descendants of the giants in Geth, the family of Rapha; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants. οἱ τέσσαρες οὗτοι ἐτέχθησαν ἀπόγονοι τῶν γιγάντων ἐν Γὲθ τῷ Ραφὰ οἶκος, καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐν χειρὶ Δαυίδ, καὶ ἐν χειρὶ τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ.

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. ΚΑΙ ἐλάλησε Δαυὶδ τῷ Κυρίῳ τοὺς λόγους τῆς ᾠδῆς ταύτης ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐξείλετο αὐτὸν Κύριος ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς Σαούλ,
2
2
And the song was thus: O Lord, my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, καὶ εἶπεν· Κύριε, πέτρα μου καὶ ὀχύρωμά μου καὶ ἐξαιρούμενός με ἐμοί,
3
3
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. ὁ Θεός μου φύλαξ μου ἔσται μοι, πεποιθὼς ἔσομαι ἐπ’ αὐτῷ, ὑπερασπιστής μου καὶ κέρας σωτηρίας μου, ἀντιλήπτωρ μου καὶ καταφυγή μου σωτηρίας μου, ἐξ ἀδίκου σώσεις με.
4
4
I will call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised, and I shall be saved from my enemies. αἰνετὸν ἐπικαλέσομαι Κύριον καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου σωθήσομαι.
5
5
For the troubles of death compassed me, the floods of iniquity amazed me: ὅτι περιέσχον με συντριμμοὶ θανάτου, χείμαρροι ἀνομίας ἐθάμβησάν με·
6
6
the pangs of death surrounded me, the agonies of death prevented me. ὠδῖνες θανάτου ἐκύκλωσάν με, προέφθασάν με σκληρότητες θανάτου.
7
7
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. ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαί με ἐπικαλέσομαι τὸν Κύριον καὶ πρὸς τὸν Θεόν μου βοήσομαι· καὶ ἐπακούσεται ἐκ ναοῦ αὐτοῦ φωνῆς μου, καὶ ἡ κραυγή μου ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν αὐτοῦ.
8

And the earth was troubled and quaked, and the foundations of heaven were confounded and torn asunder, because the Lord was wroth with them. καὶ ἐταράχθη καὶ ἐσείσθη ἡ γῆ, καὶ τὰ θεμέλια τοῦ οὐρανοῦ συνεταράχθησαν καὶ ἐσπαράχθησαν, ὅτι ἐθυμώθη Κύριος αὐτοῖς.
9
9
There went up a smoke in his wrath, and fire out of his mouth devours: coals were kindled at it. ἀνέβη καπνὸς ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πῦρ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ κατέδεται, ἄνθρακες ἐξεκαύθησαν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ.
10
10
And he bowed the heavens, and came down, and there was darkness under his feet. καὶ ἔκλινεν οὐρανοὺς καὶ κατέβη, καὶ γνόφος ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ.
11
11
And he rode upon the cherubs and did fly, and was seen upon the wings of the wind. καὶ ἐπεκάθισεν ἐπὶ Χερουβὶμ καὶ ἐπετάσθη καὶ ὤφθη ἐπὶ πτερύγων ἀνέμου.
12
12
And he made darkness his hiding-place; his tabernacle round about him was the darkness of waters, he condensed it with the clouds of the air. καὶ ἔθετο σκότος ἀποκρυφὴν αὐτοῦ κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ, ἡ σκηνὴ αὐτοῦ σκότος ὑδάτων· ἐπάχυνεν ἐν νεφέλαις ἀέρος.
13
13
At the brightness before him coals of fire were kindled. ἀπὸ τοῦ φέγγους ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ἐξεκαύθησαν ἄνθρακες πυρός.
14
14
The Lord thundered out of heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice. ἐβρόντησεν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ Κύριος, καὶ ὁ ὕψιστος ἔδωκε φωνὴν αὐτοῦ
15
15
And he sent forth arrows, and scattered them, and he flashed lightning, and dismayed them. καὶ ἀπέστειλε βέλη καὶ ἐσκόρπισεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἤστραψεν ἀστραπὴν καὶ ἐξέστησεν αὐτούς.
16
16
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. καὶ ὤφθησαν ἀφέσεις θαλάσσης, καὶ ἀπεκαλύφθη θεμέλια τῆς οἰκουμένης ἐν τῇ ἐπιτιμήσει Κυρίου, ἀπὸ πνοῆς πνεύματος θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ.
17
17
He sent from above and took me; he drew me out of many waters. ἀπέστειλεν ἐξ ὕψους καὶ ἔλαβέ με, εἵλκυσέ με ἐξ ὑδάτων πολλῶν·
18
18
He delivered me from my strong enemies, from them that hated me, for they were stronger than I. ἐρρύσατό με ἐξ ἐχθρῶν μου ἰσχύος, ἐκ τῶν μισούντων με, ὅτι ἐκραταιώθησαν ὑπὲρ ἐμέ.
19
19
The days of my affliction prevented me; but the Lord was my stay. προέφθασάν με ἡμέραι θλίψεώς μου καὶ ἐγένετο Κύριος ἐπιστήριγμά μου
20
20
And he brought me into a wide place, and rescued me, because he delighted in me. καὶ ἐξήγαγέ με εἰς πλατυσμὸν καὶ ἐξείλετό με, ὅτι ηὐδόκησεν ἐν ἐμοί.
21
21
And the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness; even according to the purity of my hands did he recompense me. καὶ ἀνταπέδωκέ μοι Κύριος κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου, καὶ κατὰ τὴν καθαριότητα τῶν χειρῶν μου ἀνταπέδωκέ μοι.
22
22
Because I kept the ways of the Lord, and did not wickedly depart from my God. ὅτι ἐφύλαξα ὁδοὺς Κυρίου καὶ οὐκ ἠσέβησα ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ μου,
23
23
For all his judgments and his ordinances were before me: I departed not from them. ὅτι πάντα τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ κατεναντίον μου, καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἀπέστην ἀπ’ αὐτῶν.
24
24
And I shall be blameless before him, and will keep myself from my iniquity. καὶ ἔσομαι ἄμωμος αὐτῷ καὶ προφυλάξομαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας μου.
25
25
And the Lord will recompense me according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hands in his eye-sight. καὶ ἀποδώσει μοι Κύριος κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου καὶ κατὰ τὴν καθαριότητα τῶν χειρῶν μου ἐνώπιον τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ.
26
26
With the holy thou wilt be holy, and with the perfect man thou wilt be perfect, μετὰ ὁσίου ὁσιωθήσῃ καὶ μετὰ ἀνδρὸς τελείου τελειωθήσῃ
27
27
and with the excellent thou wilt be excellent, and with the froward thou wilt be froward. καὶ μετὰ ἐκλεκτοῦ ἐκλεκτὸς ἔσῃ καὶ μετὰ στρεβλοῦ στρεβλωθήσῃ.
28
28
And thou wilt save the poor people, and wilt bring down the eyes of the haughty. καὶ τὸν λαὸν τὸν πτωχὸν σώσεις καὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐπὶ μετεώρων ταπεινώσεις.
29
29
For thou, Lord, art my lamp, and the Lord shall shine forth to me in my darkness. ὅτι σὺ ὁ λύχνος μου, Κύριε, καὶ Κύριος ἐκλάμψει μοι τὸ σκότος μου.
30
30
For by thee shall I run as a girded man, and by my God shall I leap over a wall. ὅτι ἐν σοὶ δραμοῦμαι μονόζωνος καὶ ἐν τῷ Θεῷ μου ὑπερβήσομαι τεῖχος.
31
31
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. ὁ ἰσχυρός, ἄμωμος ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτοῦ, τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου κραταιόν, πεπυρωμένον, ὑπερασπιστής ἐστι πᾶσι τοῖς πεποιθόσιν ἐπ’ αὐτόν.
32
32
Who is strong, but the Lord? and who will be a Creator except our God? τίς ἰσχυρὸς πλὴν Κυρίου; καὶ τίς κτίστης ἔσται πλὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν;
33
33
It is the Mighty One who strengthens me with might, and has prepared my way without fault. ὁ ἰσχυρὸς ὁ κραταιῶν με δυνάμει, καὶ ἐξετίναξεν ἄμωμον τὴν ὁδόν μου·
34
34
He makes my feet like harts' feet, and sets me upon the high places. τιθεὶς τοὺς πόδας μου ὡς ἐλάφων καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ὕψη ἱστῶν με·
35
35
He teaches my hands to war, and has broken a brazen bow by my arm. διδάσκων χεῖράς μου εἰς πόλεμον καὶ κατάξας τόξον χαλκοῦν ἐν βραχίονί μου.
36
36
And thou hast given me the shield of my salvation, and thy propitious dealing has increased me, καὶ ἔδωκάς μοι ὑπερασπισμὸν σωτηρίας μου, καὶ ἡ ὑπακοή σου ἐπλήθυνέ με
37
37
so as to make room under me for my going, and my legs did not totter. εἰς πλατυσμὸν εἰς τὰ διαβήματά μου ὑποκάτω μου, καὶ οὐκ ἐσαλεύθησαν τὰ σκέλη μου.
38
38
I will pursue my enemies, and will utterly destroy them; and I will not turn again till I have consumed them. διώξω ἐχθρούς μου καὶ ἀφανιῶ αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐκ ἀναστρέψω ἕως ἂν συντελέσω αὐτούς·
39
39
And I will crush them, and they shall not rise; and they shall fall under my feet. καὶ θλάσω αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐκ ἀναστήσονται καὶ πεσοῦνται ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας μου.
40
40
And thou shalt strengthen me with power for the war; thou shalt cause them that rise up against me to bow down under me. καὶ ἐνισχύσεις με δυνάμει εἰς πόλεμον, κάμψεις τοὺς ἐπιστανομένους μοι ὑποκάτω μου·
41
41
And thou hast caused mine enemies to flee before me, even them that hated me, and thou hast slain them. καὶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἔδωκάς μοι νῶτον, τοὺς μισοῦντάς με, καὶ ἐθανάτωσας αὐτούς.

They shall cry, and there shall be no helper; to the Lord, but he hearkens not to them. βοήσονται, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι βοηθός, πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ οὐκ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῶν.
43
43
And I ground them as the dust of the earth, I beat them small as the mire of the streets. καὶ ἐλέανα αὐτοὺς ὡς χοῦν γῆς, ὡς πηλὸν ἐξόδων ἐλέπτυνα αὐτούς.
44
44
And thou shalt deliver me from the striving of the peoples, thou shalt keep me to be the head of the Gentiles: a people which I knew not served me. καὶ ρύσῃ με ἐκ μάχης λαῶν, φυλάξεις με εἰς κεφαλὴν ἐθνῶν. λαός, ὃν οὐκ ἔγνω, ἐδούλευσάν μοι,
45
45
The strange children feigned obedience to me; they hearkened to me as soon as they heard. υἱοὶ ἀλλότριοι ἐψεύσαντό μοι, εἰς ἀκοὴν ὠτίου ἤκουσάν μου·
46
46
The strange children shall be cast away, and shall be overthrown out of their hiding-places. υἱοὶ ἀλλότριοι ἀπορριφήσονται καὶ σφαλοῦσιν ἐκ τῶν συγκλεισμῶν αὐτῶν.
47
47
The Lord lives, and blessed be my guardian, and my God, my strong keeper, shall be exalted. ζῇ Κύριος, καὶ εὐλογητὸς ὁ φύλαξ μου, καὶ ὑψωθήσεται ὁ Θεός μου, ὁ φύλαξ τῆς σωτηρίας μου.
48
48
The Lord who avenges me is strong, chastening the nations under me, ἰσχυρὸς Κύριος ὁ διδοὺς ἐκδικήσεις ἐμοί, παιδεύων λαοὺς ὑποκάτω μου
49
49
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. καὶ ἐξάγων με ἐξ ἐχθρῶν μου, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐπεγειρομένων μοι ὑψώσεις με, ἐξ ἀνδρὸς ἀδικημάτων ρύσῃ με.
50
50
Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name. διὰ τοῦτο ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι, Κύριε, ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ψαλῶ,

He magnifies the salvation of his king, and works mercy for his anointed, even for David and for his seed for ever. μεγαλύνων τὰς σωτηρίας βασιλέως αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιῶν ἔλεος τῷ χριστῷ αὐτοῦ, τῷ Δαυὶδ καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος.

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. ΚΑΙ οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι Δαυὶδ οἱ ἔσχατοι· Πιστὸς Δαυὶδ υἱὸς ᾿Ιεσσαί, καὶ πιστὸς ἀνήρ, ὃν ἀνέστησε Κύριος ἐπὶ χριστὸν Θεοῦ ᾿Ιακώβ, καὶ εὐπρεπεῖς ψαλμοὶ ᾿Ισραήλ.

The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and his word was upon my tongue. πνεῦμα Κυρίου ἐλάλησεν ἐν ἐμοί, καὶ ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ γλώσσης μου.

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? λέγει ὁ Θεὸς ᾿Ισραήλ, ἐμοὶ ἐλάλησε φύλαξ ᾿Ισραήλ· παραβολὴν εἰπὸν ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ· πῶς κραταιώσητε φόβον Θεοῦ;

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. καὶ ἐν Θεῷ φωτὶ πρωΐας ἀνατείλαι ἥλιος, τὸ πρωΐ παρῆλθεν ἐκ φέγγους καὶ ὡς ἐξ ὑετοῦ χλόης ἀπὸ γῆς.
5
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. οὐ γὰρ οὕτως ὁ οἶκός μου μετὰ ἰσχυροῦ; διαθήκην γὰρ αἰώνιον ἔθετό μοι, ἑτοίμην ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ πεφυλαγμένην, ὅτι πᾶσα σωτηρία μου καὶ πᾶν θέλημα, ὅτι οὐ μὴ βλαστήσῃ ὁ παράνομος.

All these are as a thorn thrust forth, for they shall not be taken with the hand, ὥσπερ ἄκανθα ἐξωσμένη πάντες οὗτοι, ὅτι οὐ χειρὶ ληφθήσονται,
7
7
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. καὶ ἀνὴρ οὐ κοπιάσει ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ πλῆρες σιδήρου καὶ ξύλον δόρατος, καὶ ἐν πυρὶ καύσει καυθήσονται αἰσχύνην αὐτῶν.

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. Ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν δυνατῶν Δαυίδ· ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ ὁ Χαναναῖος, ἄρχων τοῦ τρίτου ἐστίν, ᾿Αδινὼν ὁ ᾿Ασωναῖος· οὗτος ἐσπάσατο τὴν ρομφαίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ ὀκτακοσίους στρατιώτας εἰσάπαξ.
9
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. καὶ μετ’ αὐτὸν ᾿Ελεανὰν υἱὸς πατραδέλφου αὐτοῦ υἱὸς Σουδίτου ἐν τοῖς τρισὶ δυνατοῖς. οὗτος μετὰ Δαυὶδ ἦν ἐν Σερράν, καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνειδίσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις συνήχθησαν ἐκεῖ εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἀνὴρ ᾿Ισραήλ·
10
10
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. αὐτὸς ἀνέστη καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις, ἕως οὗ ἐκοπίασεν ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ καὶ προσεκολλήθη ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὴν μάχαιραν, καὶ ἐποίησε Κύριος σωτηρίαν μεγάλην ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ· καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἐκάθητο ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ πλὴν ἐκδιδύσκειν.
11
11
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. καὶ μετ’ αὐτὸν Σαμαΐα υἱὸς ᾿Ασὰ ὁ ᾿Αρουχαῖος. καὶ συνήχθησαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι εἰς Θηρία, καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ μερὶς τοῦ ἀγροῦ πλήρης φακοῦ, καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἔφυγεν ἐκ προσώπου ἀλλοφύλων·
12
12
And he stood firm in the midst of the portion, and rescued it, and smote the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great deliverance. καὶ ἐστηλώθη ἐν μέσῳ τῆς μερίδος καὶ ἐξείλατο αὐτὴν καὶ ἐπάταξε τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους, καὶ ἐποίησε Κύριος σωτηρίαν μεγάλην.
13
13
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. καὶ κατέβησαν τρεῖς ἀπὸ τῶν τριάκοντα καὶ ἦλθαν εἰς Κασὼν πρὸς Δαυὶδ εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον ᾿Οδολλάμ, καὶ τάγμα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων παρενέβαλον ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι Ραφαΐμ·
14
14
And David was then in the strong hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethleem. καὶ Δαυὶδ τότε ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ, καὶ τὸ ὑπόστημα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τότε ἐν Βηθλεέμ.
15
15
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. καὶ ἐπεθύμησε Δαυὶδ καὶ εἶπε· τίς ποτιεῖ με ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου τοῦ ἐν Βηθλεὲμ τοῦ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ; τὸ δὲ σύστημα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τότε ἐν Βηθλεέμ.
16
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. καὶ διέρρηξαν οἱ τρεῖς δυνατοὶ ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ὑδρεύσαντο ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου τοῦ ἐν Βηθλεὲμ τοῦ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ καὶ ἔλαβαν καὶ παρεγένοντο πρὸς Δαυίδ, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε πιεῖν αὐτὸ καὶ ἔσπεισεν αὐτὸ τῷ Κυρίῳ
17
17
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. καὶ εἶπεν· ἵλεώς μοι, Κύριε, τοῦ ποιῆσαι τοῦτο, εἰ αἷμα τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν πορευθέντων ἐν ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν πίομαι· καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε πιεῖν αὐτό. ταῦτα ἐποίησαν οἱ τρεῖς δυνατοί.
18
18
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. καὶ ᾿Αβεσσὰ ὁ ἀδελφὸς ᾿Ιωὰβ υἱὸς Σαρουΐας αὐτὸς ἄρχων ἐν τοῖς τρισί. καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξήγειρε τὸ δόρυ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τριακοσίους τραυματίας, καὶ αὐτῷ ὄνομα ἐν τοῖς τρισίν·
19
19
Of those three he was most honourable, and he became a chief over them, but he reached not to the first three. ἐκ τῶν τριῶν ἐκείνων ἔνδοξος, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῖς εἰς ἄρχοντα, καὶ ἕως τῶν τριῶν οὐκ ἦλθε.
20
20
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. καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς ᾿Ιωδαὲ ἀνὴρ αὐτὸς πολλοστὸς ἔργοις ἀπὸ Καβεσεήλ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπάταξε τοὺς δύο υἱοὺς ᾿Αριὴλ τοῦ Μωάβ· καὶ αὐτὸς κατέβη καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν λέοντα ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λάκκου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς χιόνος·
21
21
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. αὐτὸς ἐπάταξε τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν Αἰγύπτιον, ἄνδρα ὁρατόν, ἐν δὲ τῇ χειρὶ τοῦ Αἰγυπτίου δόρυ ὡς ξύλον διαβάθρας, καὶ κατέβη πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν ράβδῳ καὶ ἥρπασε τὸ δόρυ ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ Αἰγυπτίου καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ δόρατι αὐτοῦ.
22
22
These things did Banæas the son of Jodae, and he had a name among the three mighty men. ταῦτα ἐποίησε Βαναίας υἱὸς ᾿Ιωδαέ, καὶ αὐτῷ ὄνομα ἐν τοῖς τρισὶ τοῖς δυνατοῖς·
23
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. ἐκ τῶν τριῶν ἔνδοξος, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς τρεῖς οὐκ ἦλθε· καὶ ἔταξεν αὐτὸν Δαυὶδ πρὸς τὰς ἀκοὰς αὐτοῦ. καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν δυνατῶν Δαυὶδ τοῦ βασιλέως·

Asael Joab's brother; he was among the thirty. Eleanan son of Dudi his uncle in Bethleem. ᾿Ασαὴλ ἀδελφὸς ᾿Ιωὰβ (οὗτος ἐν τοῖς τριάκοντα), ᾿Ελεανὰν υἱὸς Δουδὶ πατραδέλφου αὐτοῦ ἐν Βηθλεέμ.

And the Lord caused his anger to burn forth again in Israel, and Satan stirred up David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Juda. ΚΑΙ προσέθετο ὀργὴν Κύριος ἐκκαῆναι ἐν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἐπέσεισε τὸν Δαυὶδ ἐν αὐτοῖς λέγων· βάδιζε, ἀρίθμησον τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ τὸν ᾿Ιούδαν.
2
2
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὀ βασιλεὺς πρὸς ᾿Ιωὰβ ἄρχοντα τῆς ἰσχύος τὸν μετ’ αὐτοῦ· δίελθε δὴ πάσας φυλὰς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιούδα, ἀπὸ Δὰν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεὲ καὶ ἐπίσκεψαι τὸν λαόν, καὶ γνώσομαι τὸν ἀριθμὸν τοῦ λαοῦ.
3

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? καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωὰβ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· καὶ προσθείη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν ὥσπερ αὐτοὺς καὶ ὥσπερ αὐτοὺς ἑκατονταπλασίονα, καὶ ὀφθαλμοὶ τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως ὁρῶντες· καὶ ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς ἱνατί βούλεται ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ;
4
4
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. καὶ ὑπερίσχυσεν ὀ λόγος τοῦ βασιλέως πρὸς ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῆς δυνάμεως. καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ᾿Ιωὰβ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς ἰσχύος ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπισκέψασθαι τὸν λαὸν τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ.

And they went over Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right of the city which is in the midst of the valley of Gad and Eliezer. καὶ διέβησαν τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν ᾿Αροὴρ ἐκ δεξιῶν τῆς πόλεως τῆς ἐν μέσῳ τῆς φάραγγος Γὰδ καὶ ᾿Ελιέζερ.
6
6
And they came to Galaad, and into the land of Thabason, which is Adasai, and they came to Danidan and Udan, and compassed Sidon. καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Γαλαὰδ καὶ εἰς γῆν Θαβασών, ἥ ἐστιν ᾿Αδασαί, καὶ παρεγένοντο εἰς Δανιδὰν καὶ Οὐδὰν καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν εἰς Σιδῶνα.
7
7
And they came to Mapsar of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Evite and the Chananite: and they came by the south of Juda to Bersabee. καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Μάψαρ Τύρου καὶ εἰς πάσας τὰς πόλεις τοῦ Εὐαίου καὶ τοῦ Χαναναίου καὶ ἦλθαν κατὰ νότον ᾿Ιούδα εἰς Βηρσαβεὲ
8
8
And they compassed the whole land; and they arrived at Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days. καὶ περιώδευσαν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ καὶ παρεγένοντο ἀπὸ τέλους ἐννέα μηνῶν καὶ εἴκοσιν ἡμερῶν εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.
9
9
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. καὶ ἔδωκεν ᾿Ιωὰβ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῆς ἐπισκέψεως τοῦ λαοῦ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ἐγένετο ᾿Ισραὴλ ὀκτακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν δυνάμεως σπωμένων ρομφαίαν καὶ ἀνὴρ ᾿Ιούδα πεντακόσιαι χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν μαχητῶν.
10
10
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. καὶ ἐπάταξε καρδία Δαυὶδ αὐτὸν μετὰ τὸ ἀριθμῆσαι τὸν λαόν, καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Κύριον· ἥμαρτον σφόδρα, ὃ ἐποίησα νῦν, Κύριε· παραβίβασον δὴ τὴν ἀνομίαν τοῦ δούλου σου, ὅτι ἐμωράνθην σφόδρα.
11
11
And David rose early in the morning, and the word of the Lord came to the prophet Gad, the seer, saying, Go, and speak to David, saying, καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ τὸ πρωΐ. καὶ λόγος Κυρίου ἐγένετο πρὸς Γὰδ τὸν προφήτην τὸν ὁρῶντα λέγων·
12
12
Thus saith the Lord, I bring one of three things upon thee: now choose thee one of them, and I will do it to thee. πορεύθητι καὶ λάλησον πρὸς Δαυὶδ λέγων· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· τρία ἐγώ εἰμι αἴρω ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ ἔκλεξαι σεαυτῷ ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ ποιήσω σοι.
13
13
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. καὶ εἰσῆλθε Γὰδ πρὸς Δαυὶδ καὶ ἀνήγγειλε καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἔκλεξαι σεαυτῷ γενέσθαι, εἰ ἔλθῃ σοι τρία ἔτη λιμὸς ἐν τῇ γῇ σου, ἢ τρεῖς μῆνας φεύγειν σε ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου καὶ ἔσονται διώκοντές σε, ἢ γενέσθαι τρεῖς ἡμέρας θάνατον ἐν τῇ γῇ σου· νῦν οὖν γνῶθι καὶ ἰδὲ τί ἀποκριθῶ τῷ ἀποστείλαντί με ρῆμα.
14
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. καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Γάδ· στενά μοι πάντοθεν σφόδρα ἐστίν· ἐμπεσοῦμαι δὴ εἰς χεῖρας Κυρίου, ὅτι πολλοὶ οἱ οἰκτιρμοὶ αὐτοῦ σφόδρα, εἰς δὲ χεῖρας ἀνθρώπου οὐ μὴ ἐμπέσω·
15
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. καὶ ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ Δαυὶδ τὸν θάνατον. καὶ ἡμέραι θερισμοῦ πυρῶν, καὶ ἔδωκε Κύριος θάνατον ἐν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀπὸ πρωΐθεν ἕως ὥρας ἀρίστου, καὶ ἤρξατο ἡ θραῦσις ἐν τῷ λαῷ, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ ἀπὸ Δὰν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεὲ ἑβδομήκοντα χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν.
16
16
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. καὶ ἐξέτεινεν ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ Θεοῦ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ τοῦ διαφθεῖραι αὐτήν, καὶ παρεκλήθη Κύριος ἐπὶ τῇ κακίᾳ καὶ εἶπε τῷ ἀγγέλῳ τῷ διαφθείροντι ἐν τῷ λαῷ· πολὺ νῦν, ἄνες τὴν χεῖρά σου· καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἦν παρὰ τῇ ἅλῳ ᾿Ορνὰ τοῦ ᾿Ιεβουσαίου.
17
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. καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Κύριον ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν τὸν ἄγγελον τὸν τύπτοντα ἐν τῷ λαῷ καὶ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ἐγώ εἰμι ἠδίκησα καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ποιμὴν ἐκακοποίησα, καὶ οὗτοι τὰ πρόβατα τί ἐποίησαν; γενέσθω δὴ ἡ χείρ σου ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρός μου.
18
18
And Gad came to David in that day, and said to him, Go up, and set up to the Lord an altar in the threshing-floor of Orna the Jebusite. καὶ ἦλθε Γὰδ πρὸς Δαυὶδ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἀνάβηθι καὶ στῆσον τῷ Κυρίῳ θυσιαστήριον ἐν τῷ ἅλωνι ᾿Ορνὰ τοῦ ᾿Ιεβουσαίου.
19
19
And David went up according to the word of Gad, as the Lord commanded him. καὶ ἀνέβη Δαυὶδ κατὰ τὸν λόγον Γάδ, καθ’ ὃν τρόπον ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ Κύριος.
20
20
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. καὶ διέκυψεν ᾿Ορνὰ καὶ εἶδε τὸν βασιλέα καὶ τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ παραπορευομένους ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ᾿Ορνὰ καὶ προσεκύνησε τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
21
21
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. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ορνά· τί ὅτι ἦλθεν ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς πρός τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ; καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ· κτήσασθαι παρὰ σοῦ τὸν ἅλωνα τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι θυσιαστήριον τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ συσχεθῇ ἡ θραῦσις ἐπάνω τοῦ λαοῦ.
22
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. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ορνὰ πρὸς Δαυὶδ· λαβέτω καὶ ἀνενεγκάτω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Κυρίῳ τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ· ἰδοὺ οἱ βόες εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα, καὶ οἱ τροχοὶ καὶ τὰ σκεύη τῶν βοῶν εἰς ξύλα.
23
23
Orna gave all to the king: and Orna said to the king, The Lord thy God bless thee. τὰ πάντα ἔδωκεν ᾿Ορνὰ τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ορνά πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου εὐλογήσαι σε.
24
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. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς ᾿Ορνά· οὐχί, ὅτι ἀλλὰ κτώμενος κτήσομαι παρὰ σοῦ ἐν ἀλλάγματι, καὶ οὐκ ἀνοίσω τῷ Κυρίῳ μου Θεῷ ὁλοκαύτωμα δωρεάν· καὶ ἐκτήσατο Δαυὶδ τὸν ἅλωνα καὶ τοὺς βόας ἐν ἀργυρίῳ σίκλων πεντήκοντα.
25
25
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. καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ Δαυὶδ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίῳ. καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ὁλοκαυτώσεις καὶ εἰρηνικάς. καὶ προσέθηκε Σαλωμὼν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐπ’ ἐσχάτῳ, ὅτι μικρὸν ἦν ἐν πρώτοις. καὶ ἐπήκουσε Κύριος τῇ γῇ, καὶ συνεσχέθη ἡ θραῦσις ἐπάνωθεν ᾿Ισραήλ.
