2 Samuel - Chapter: 2

>
2:1And 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.
2:2So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite.
2:3And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
2:4And 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 Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul.
2:5And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabeshgilead, 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.
2:6And now the LORD shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.
2:7Therefore 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.
2:8But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
2:9And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
2:10Ishbosheth 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.
2:11And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
2:12And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
2:13And 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.
2:14And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
2:15Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
2:16And 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 Helkathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
2:17And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
2:18And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
2:19And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
2:20Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am.
2:21And 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.
2:22And 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?
2:23Howbeit 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.
2:24Joab 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.
2:25And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.
2:26Then 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?
2:27And 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.
2:28So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
2:29And 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.
2:30And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.
2:31But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred and threescore men died.
2:32And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.

2:21ויאמר לו אבנר נטה לך על ימינך או על שׂמאלך ואחז לך אחד מהנערים וקח לך את חלצתו ולא אבה עשׂהאל לסור מאחריו׃
2:22ויסף עוד אבנר לאמר אל עשׂהאל סור לך מאחרי למה אככה ארצה ואיך אשׂא פני אל יואב אחיך׃
2:23וימאן לסור ויכהו אבנר באחרי החנית אל החמשׁ ותצא החנית מאחריו ויפל שׁם וימת תחתו ויהי כל הבא אל המקום אשׁר נפל שׁם עשׂהאל וימת ויעמדו׃
2:24וירדפו יואב ואבישׁי אחרי אבנר והשׁמשׁ באה והמה באו עד גבעת אמה אשׁר על פני גיח דרך מדבר גבעון׃
2:25ויתקבצו בני בנימן אחרי אבנר ויהיו לאגדה אחת ויעמדו על ראשׁ גבעה אחת׃
2:26ויקרא אבנר אל יואב ויאמר הלנצח תאכל חרב הלוא ידעתה כי מרה תהיה באחרונה ועד מתי לא תאמר לעם לשׁוב מאחרי אחיהם׃
2:27ויאמר יואב חי האלהים כי לולא דברת כי אז מהבקר נעלה העם אישׁ מאחרי אחיו׃
2:28ויתקע יואב בשׁופר ויעמדו כל העם ולא ירדפו עוד אחרי ישׂראל ולא יספו עוד להלחם׃
2:29ואבנר ואנשׁיו הלכו בערבה כל הלילה ההוא ויעברו את הירדן וילכו כל הבתרון ויבאו מחנים׃

2:31ועבדי דוד הכו מבנימן ובאנשׁי אבנר שׁלשׁ מאות ושׁשׁים אישׁ מתו׃
2:32וישׂאו את עשׂהאל ויקברהו בקבר אביו אשׁר בית לחם וילכו כל הלילה יואב ואנשׁיו ויאר להם בחברון׃

 

2:1And it cometh to pass afterwards, that David asketh at Jehovah, saying, `Do I go up into one of the cities of Judah?' and Jehovah saith unto him, `Go up.' And David saith, `Whither do I go up?' and He saith, `To Hebron.'
2:2And David goeth up thither, and also his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite;
2:3and his men who `are' with him hath David brought up -- a man and his household -- and they dwell in the cities of Hebron.
2:4And the men of Judah come, and anoint there David for king over the house of Judah; and they declare to David, saying, `The men of Jabesh-Gilead `are' they who buried Saul.'
2:5And David sendeth messengers unto the men of Jabesh-Gilead, and saith unto them, `Blessed `are' ye of Jehovah, in that ye have done this kindness with your lord, with Saul, that ye bury him.
2:6`And, now, Jehovah doth with you kindness and truth, and also, I do with you this good because ye have done this thing;
2:7and now, are your hands strong, and be ye for sons of valour, for your lord Saul. `is' dead, and also -- me have the house of Judah anointed for king over them.'
2:8And Abner, son of Ner, head of the host which Saul hath, hath taken Ish-Bosheth, son of Saul, and causeth him to pass over to Mahanaim,
2:9and causeth him to reign over Gilead, and over the Ashurite, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over Israel -- all of it.
2:10A son of forty years, `is' Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, in his reigning over Israel, and two years he hath reigned, only the house of Judah have been after David.
2:11And the number of the days that David hath been king in Hebron, over the house of Judah, is seven years and six months.
2:12And Abner son of Ner goeth out, and servants of Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
2:13And Joab son of Zeruiah, and servants of David, have gone out, and they meet by the pool of Gibeon together, and sit down, these by the pool on this `side', and these by the pool on that.
2:14And Abner saith unto Joab, `Let the youths rise, I pray thee, and they play before us;' and Joab saith, `Let them rise.'
2:15And they rise and pass over, in number twelve of Benjamin, even of Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
2:16And they lay hold, each on the head of his companion, and his sword `is' in the side of his companion, and they fall together, and `one' calleth that place Helkath-Hazzurim, which `is' in Gibeon,
2:17and the battle is very hard on that day, and Abner is smitten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
2:18And there are there three sons of Zeruiah, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel, and Asahel `is' light on his feet, as one of the roes which `are' in the field,
2:19And Asahel pursueth after Abner, and hath not turned aside to go to the right or to the left, from after Abner.
2:20And Abner looketh behind him, and saith, `Art thou he -- Asahel?' and he saith, `I `am'.'
2:21And Abner saith to him, `Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and seize for thee one of the youths, and take to thee his armour;' and Asahel hath not been willing to turn aside from after him.
2:22And Abner addeth again, saying unto Asahel, `Turn thee aside from after me, why do I smite thee to the earth? and how do I lift up my face unto Joab thy brother?'
2:23And he refuseth to turn aside, and Abner smiteth him with the hinder part of the spear unto the fifth `rib', and the spear cometh out from behind him, and he falleth there, and dieth under it; and it cometh to pass, every one who hath come unto the place where Asahel hath fallen and dieth -- they stand still.
2:24And Joab and Abishai pursue after Abner, and the sun hath gone in, and they have come in unto the height of Ammah, which `is' on the front of Giah, the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
2:25And the sons of Benjamin gather themselves together after Abner, and become one troop, and stand on the top of a certain height,
2:26and Abner calleth unto Joab, and saith, `For ever doth the sword consume? hast thou not known that it is bitterness in the latter end? and till when dost thou not say to the people to turn back from after their brethren?'
2:27And Joab saith, `God liveth! for unless thou hadst spoken, surely then from the morning had the people gone up each from after his brother.'
2:28And Joab bloweth with a trumpet, and all the people stand still, and pursue no more after Israel, nor have they added any more to fight.
2:29And Abner and his men have gone through the plain all that night, and pass over the Jordan, and go on `through' all Bithron, and come in to Mahanaim.
2:30And Joab hath turned back from after Abner, and gathereth all the people, and there are lacking of the servants of David nineteen men, and Asahel;
2:31and the servants of David have smitten of Benjamin, even among the men of Abner, three hundred and sixty men -- they died.
2:32And they lift up Asahel, and bury him in the burying-place of his father, which `is' in Beth-Lehem, and they go all the night -- Joab and his men -- and it is light to them in Hebron.
