ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Β 2

Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
King James Version with Apocrypha
1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἐπηρώτησε Δαυὶδ ἐν Κυρίῳ λέγων· εἰ ἀναβῶ εἰς μίαν τῶν πόλεων Ἰούδα; καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς αὐτόν· ἀνάβηθι. καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· ποῦ ἀναβῶ; καὶ εἶπεν· εἰς Χεβρών.
1And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the LORD , saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
2καὶ ἀνέβη ἐκεῖ Δαυὶδ εἰς Χεβρὼν καὶ ἀμφότεραι αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτοῦ, Ἀχινόομ ἡ Ἰεζραηλῖτις καὶ Ἀβιγαία ἡ γυνὴ Νάβαλ τοῦ Καρμηλίου,
2So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal’s wife the Carmelite.
3καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, ἕκαστος καὶ ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατῴκουν ἐν ταῖς πόλεσι Χεβρών.
3And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
4καὶ ἔρχονται ἄνδρες τῆς Ἰουδαίας καὶ χρίουσι τὸν Δαυὶδ ἐκεῖ τοῦ βασιλεύειν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἰούδα. Καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ Δαυὶδ λέγοντες· ὅτι οἱ ἄνδρες Ἰαβὶς τῆς Γαλααδίτιδος ἔθαψαν τὸν Σαούλ.
4And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabesh-gilead were they that buried Saul.
5καὶ ἀπέστειλε Δαυὶδ ἀγγέλους πρὸς τοὺς ἡγουμένους Ἰαβὶς 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 Ἰωνάθαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ.
5¶ And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD , that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
6καὶ νῦν ποιήσαι Κύριος μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν ἔλεος καὶ ἀλήθειαν, καί γε ἐγὼ ποιήσω μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν τὰ ἀγαθὰ ταῦτα, ὅτι ἐποιήσατε τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο·
6And now the LORD shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.
7καὶ νῦν κραταιούσθωσαν αἱ χεῖρες ὑμῶν καὶ γίνεσθε εἰς υἱοὺς δυνατούς, ὅτι τέθνηκεν ὁ κύριος ὑμῶν Σαούλ, καί γε ἐμὲ κέχρικεν ὁ οἶκος Ἰούδα ἐφ᾿ ἑαυτὸν εἰς βασιλέα.
7Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
8Καὶ Ἀβεννὴρ υἱὸς Νὴρ ἀρχιστράτηγος τοῦ Σαοὺλ ἔλαβε τὸν Ἰεβοσθὲ υἱὸν Σαοὺλ καὶ ἀνεβίβασεν αὐτὸν ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς εἰς Μαναὲμ
8¶ But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s host, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
9καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν Γαλααδῖτιν καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν Θασιρὶ καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν Ἰεζράελ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἐφραὶμ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν Βενιαμὶν καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα Ἰσραήλ.
9And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
10τεσσαράκοντα ἐτῶν Ἰεβοσθὲ υἱὸς Σαούλ, ὅτε ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ δύο ἔτη ἐβασίλευσε, πλὴν τοῦ οἴκου Ἰούδα, οἳ ἦσαν ὀπίσω Δαυίδ·
10Ish-bosheth Saul’s son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
11καὶ ἐγένοντο αἱ ἡμέραι, ἃς Δαυὶδ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Χεβρὼν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἰούδα, ἑπτὰ ἔτη καὶ μῆνας ἕξ.
11And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
12Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἀβεννὴρ υἱὸς Νὴρ καὶ οἱ παῖδες Ἰεβοσθὲ υἱοῦ Σαοὺλ ἐκ Μαναὲμ εἰς Γαβαών·
12¶ And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13καὶ Ἰωὰβ 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.
13And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
14καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβεννὴρ πρὸς Ἰωάβ· ἀναστήτωσαν δὴ τὰ παιδάρια καὶ παιξάτωσαν ἐνώπιον ἡμῶν· καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωάβ· ἀναστήτωσαν.
14And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
15καὶ ἀνέστησαν καὶ παρῆλθον ἐν ἀριθμῷ τῶν παίδων Βενιαμὶν δώδεκα τῶν Ἰεβοσθὲ υἱοῦ Σαοὺλ καὶ δώδεκα ἐκ τῶν παίδων Δαυίδ.
15Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
16καὶ 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.
16And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
17καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ πόλεμος σκληρὸς ὥστε λίαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἔπταισεν Ἀβεννὴρ καὶ ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ ἐνώπιον παίδων Δαυίδ.
17And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
18καὶ ἐγένοντο ἐκεῖ τρεῖς υἱοὶ Σαρουΐας, Ἰωὰβ καὶ Ἀβεσσὰ καὶ Ἀσαήλ, καὶ Ἀσαὴλ κοῦφος τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ μία δορκὰς ἐν ἀγρῷ.
18¶ And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
19καὶ κατεδίωξεν Ἀσαὴλ ὀπίσω Ἀβεννὴρ καὶ οὐκ ἐξέκλινε τοῦ πορεύεσθαι εἰς δεξιὰ οὐδὲ εἰς ἀριστερὰ κατόπισθεν Ἀβεννήρ.
19And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
20καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν Ἀβεννὴρ εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν· εἰ σὺ εἶ αὐτὸς Ἀσαήλ; καὶ εἶπεν· ἐγώ εἰμι.
20Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am .
21καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἀβεννήρ· ἔκλινον σὺ εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ ἢ εἰς τὰ ἀριστερὰ καὶ κάτασχε σεαυτῷ ἓν τῶν παιδαρίων καὶ λαβὲ σεαυτῷ τὴν πανοπλίαν αὐτοῦ· καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν Ἀσαὴλ ἐκκλῖναι ἐκ τῶν ὄπισθεν αὐτοῦ.
21And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.
22καὶ προσέθετο ἔτι Ἀβεννὴρ λέγων τῷ Ἀσαήλ· ἀπόστηθι ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ, ἵνα μὴ πατάξω σε εἰς τὴν γῆν· καὶ πῶς ἀρῶ τὸ πρόσωπόν μου πρὸς Ἰωάβ;
22And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
23καὶ ποῦ ἐστι ταῦτα; ἐπίστρεφε πρὸς Ἰωὰβ τὸν ἀδελφόν σου. καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο τοῦ ἀποστῆναι. καὶ τύπτει αὐτὸν Ἀβεννὴρ 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 Ἀσαὴλ καὶ ἀπέθανε, καὶ ὑφίστατο.
23Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib , that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
24καὶ κατεδίωξεν Ἰωὰβ καὶ Ἀβεσσὰ ὀπίσω Ἀβεννήρ· καὶ ὁ ἥλιος ἔδυνε. καὶ αὐτοὶ εἰσῆλθον ἕως τοῦ βουνοῦ Ἀμμάν, ὅ ἐστιν ἐπὶ προσώπου Γαί, ὁδὸν ἔρημον Γαβαών.
24Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
25καὶ συναθροίζονται οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμὶν οἱ ὀπίσω Ἀβεννὴρ καὶ ἐγενήθησαν εἰς συνάντησιν μίαν καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν βουνοῦ ἑνός.
25¶ And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.
26καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἀβεννὴρ Ἰωὰβ 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;
26Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?
27καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωάβ· ζῇ Κύριος, ὅτι εἰ μὴ ἐλάλησας, διότι τότε ἐκ πρωϊόθεν ἀνέβη ἂν ὁ λαὸς ἕκαστος κατόπισθεν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ.
27And Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
28καὶ ἐσάλπισεν Ἰωὰβ τῇ σάλπιγγι, καὶ ἀπέστησαν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς καὶ οὐ κατεδίωξαν ὀπίσω τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οὐ προσέθεντο ἔτι τοῦ πολεμεῖν.
28So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
29καὶ Ἀβεννὴρ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ ἀπῆλθον εἰς δυσμὰς ὅλην τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην καὶ διέβαιναν τὸν Ἰορδάνην καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὅλην τὴν παρατείνουσαν καὶ ἔρχονται εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν.
29And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
30καὶ Ἰωὰβ ἀνέστρεψεν ὄπισθεν ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἀβεννὴρ καὶ συνήθροισε πάντα τὸν λαόν, καὶ ἐπεσκέπησαν τῶν παίδων Δαυίδ ἐννεακαίδεκα ἄνδρες καὶ Ἀσαήλ.
30And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David’s servants nineteen men and Asahel.
31καὶ οἱ παῖδες Δαυὶδ ἐπάταξαν τῶν υἱῶν Βενιαμὶν τῶν ἀνδρῶν Ἀβεννὴρ τριακοσίους ἑξήκοντα ἄνδρας παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
31But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner’s men, so that three hundred and threescore men died.
32καὶ αἴρουσι τὸν Ἀσαὴλ καὶ θάπτουσιν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ τάφῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν Βηθλεέμ. καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἰωὰβ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ὅλην τὴν νύκτα, καὶ διέφαυσεν αὐτοῖς ἐν Χεβρών.
32¶ And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
