1 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. 2 And sons were born to David in Chebron: and his first-born was Ammon the son of Achinoom the Jezraelitess. 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. 4 And the fourth [was] Ornia, the son of Aggith, and the fifth [was] Saphatia, the son of Abital. 5 And the sixth [was] Jetheraam, the son of Aegal the wife of David. These were born to David in Chebron. 6 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. 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? 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? 9 God do thus and more also to Abenner, if as the Lord swore to David, so do I not to him this day; 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. 11 And Jebosthe could not any longer answer Abenner a word, because he feared him. 12 And Abenner sent messengers to David to Thaelam 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. 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. 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. 15 And Jebosthe sent, and took her from her husband, [even] from Phaltiel the son of Selle. 16 And her husband went with her weeping behind her as far as Barakim. And Abenner said to him, Go, return; and he returned. 17 And Abenner spoke to the elders of Israel, saying, In former days ye sought David to reign over you; 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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? 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? 26 And Joab returned from David, and sent messengers to Abenner after [him]; and they bring him back from the well of Seiram: but David knew [it] not. 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. 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. 29 Let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all the house of his father; and let there not be wanting of the house of Joab one that has an issue, or a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that wants bread. 30 For Joab and Abessa his brother laid wait continually for Abenner, because he slew Asael their brother at Gabaon in the battle. 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. 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. 33 And the king mourned over Abenner, and said, Shall Abenner die according to the death of Nabal? 34 Thy hands were not bound, and thy feet [were] not [put] in fetters: [one] brought [thee] not near as Nabal; thou didst fall before children of iniquity. 35 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. 36 And all the people took notice, and all things that the king did before the people were pleasing in their sight. 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. 38 And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that a great prince is this day fallen in Israel? 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. 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. 2 Καὶ ἐτέχθησαν τῷ Δαυὶδ υἱοὶ ἐν Χεβρών, καὶ ἦν ὁ πρωτότοκος αὐτοῦ ᾿Αμνὼν τῆς ᾿Αχινόομ τῆς ᾿Ιεζραηλίτιδος, 3 καὶ ὁ δεύτερος αὐτοῦ Δαλουΐα τῆς ᾿Αβιγαίας τῆς Καρμηλίας, καὶ ὁ τρίτος ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ υἱὸς Μααχὰ θυγατρὸς Θολμὶ βασιλέως Γεσίρ, 4 καὶ ὁ τέταρτος ᾿Ορνία υἱὸς Φεγγίθ, καὶ ὁ πέμπτος Σαβατία τῆς ᾿Αβιτάλ, 5 καὶ ὁ ἕκτος ᾿Ιεθεραὰμ τῆς Αἰγλὰ γυναικὸς Δαυίδ· οὗτοι ἐτέχθησαν τῷ Δαυὶδ ἐν Χεβρών. 6 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 καὶ τῷ Σαοὺλ παλλακὴ Ῥεσφὰ θυγάτηρ ᾿Ιάλ· καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ υἱὸς Σαοὺλ πρὸς ᾿Αβεννήρ· τί ὅτι εἰσῆλθες πρὸς τὴν παλλακὴν τοῦ πατρός μου; 8 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 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 περιελεῖν τὴν βασιλείαν ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου Σαούλ, καὶ τοῦ ἀναστῆσαι τὸν θρόνον Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ιούδαν ἀπὸ Δὰν ἕως Βηρσαβεέ. 11 καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνάσθη ἔτι ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ ἀποκριθῆναι τῷ ᾿Αβεννὴρ ῥῆμα ἀπὸ τοῦ φοβεῖσθαι αὐτόν. 12 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 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 καὶ ἐξαπέστειλε Δαυὶδ πρὸς ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ υἱὸν Σαοὺλ ἀγγέλους λέγων· ἀπόδος μοι τὴν γυναῖκά μου τὴν Μελχόλ, ἣν ἔλαβον ἐν ἑκατὸν ἀκροβυστίαις ἀλλοφύλων. 15 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ᾿Ιεβοσθὲ καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὴν παρὰ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς, παρὰ Φαλτιὴλ υἱοῦ Σελλῆς. 16 καὶ ἐπορεύετο ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς μετ᾿ αὐτῆς κλαίων ὀπίσω αὐτῆς ἕως Βαρακίμ· καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν ᾿Αβεννήρ· πορεύου, ἀνάστρεφε· καὶ ἀνέστρεψε. 17 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεννὴρ πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους ᾿Ισραὴλ λέγων· χθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἐζητεῖτε τὸν Δαυὶδ βασιλεύειν ἐφ᾿ ὑμῶν· 18 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 ᾿Ιωὰβ δὲ καὶ ᾿Αβεσσὰ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ διαπαρετηροῦντο τὸν ᾿Αβεννὴρ ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ἐθανάτωσε τὸν ᾿Ασαὴλ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτῶν ἐν Γαβαών, ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ. 31 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 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 καὶ ἐθρήνησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ ᾿Αβεννὴρ καὶ εἶπεν· εἰ κατὰ τὸν θάνατον Νάβαλ ἀποθανεῖται ᾿Αβεννήρ; 34 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 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 καὶ ἔγνω πᾶς ὁ λαός, καὶ ἤρεσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐνώπιον τοῦ λαοῦ. 37 καὶ ἔγνω πᾶς ὁ λαὸς καὶ πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ὅτι οὐκ ἐγένετο παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως θανατῶσαι τὸν ᾿Αβεννὴρ υἱὸν Νήρ. 38 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ· οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι ἡγούμενος μέγας πέπτωκεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ ἐν τῷ ᾿Ισραήλ; 39 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.
