2 Samuel 2

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
1 And after these things David consulted 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 answered him: Into Hebron.	1 και εγενετο μετα ταυτα και επηρωτησεν δαυιδ εν κυριω λεγων ει αναβω εις μιαν των πολεων ιουδα και ειπεν κυριος προς αυτον αναβηθι και ειπεν δαυιδ που αναβω και ειπεν εις χεβρων
2 So David went up, and his two wives, Achinoam the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel:	2 και ανεβη εκει δαυιδ εις χεβρων και αμφοτεραι αι γυναικες αυτου αχινοομ η ιεζραηλιτις και αβιγαια η γυνη ναβαλ του καρμηλιου
3 And the men also that were with him, David brought up every man with his household: and they abode in the towns of Hebron.	3 και οι ανδρες οι μετ' αυτου εκαστος και ο οικος αυτου και κατωκουν εν ταις πολεσιν χεβρων
4 And the men of Juda came, and anointed David there, to be king over the house of Juda. And it was told David, that the men of Jabes Galaad had buried Saul.	4 και ερχονται ανδρες της ιουδαιας και χριουσιν τον δαυιδ εκει του βασιλευειν επι τον οικον ιουδα και απηγγειλαν τω δαυιδ λεγοντες οτι οι ανδρες ιαβις της γαλααδιτιδος εθαψαν τον σαουλ
5 David therefore sent messengers to the men of Jabes Galaad, and said to them: Blessed be you to the Lord, who have shewn this mercy to your master Saul, and have buried him.	5 και απεστειλεν δαυιδ αγγελους προς τους ηγουμενους ιαβις της γαλααδιτιδος και ειπεν προς αυτους ευλογημενοι υμεις τω κυριω οτι πεποιηκατε το ελεος τουτο επι τον κυριον υμων επι σαουλ τον χριστον κυριου και εθαψατε αυτον και ιωναθαν τον υιον αυτου
6 And now the Lord surely will render you mercy and truth, and I also will, requite you for this good turn, because you have done this thing.	6 και νυν ποιησαι κυριος μεθ' υμων ελεος και αληθειαν και γε εγω ποιησω μεθ' υμων τα αγαθα ταυτα οτι εποιησατε το ρημα τουτο
7 Let your hands be strengthened, and be ye men of valour: for although your master Saul be dead, yet the house of Juda hath anointed me to be their king.	7 και νυν κραταιουσθωσαν αι χειρες υμων και γινεσθε εις υιους δυνατους οτι τεθνηκεν ο κυριος υμων σαουλ και γε εμε κεχρικεν ο οικος ιουδα εφ' εαυτους εις βασιλεα
8 But Abner the son of Ner, general of Saul's army, took Isboseth the son of Saul, and led him about through the camp?	8 και αβεννηρ υιος νηρ αρχιστρατηγος του σαουλ ελαβεν τον ιεβοσθε υιον σαουλ και ανεβιβασεν αυτον εκ της παρεμβολης εις μαναεμ
9 And made him king over Galaad, and, over Gessuri, and over Jezrahel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.	9 και εβασιλευσεν αυτον επι την γαλααδιτιν και επι τον θασιρι και επι τον ιεζραελ και επι τον εφραιμ και επι τον βενιαμιν και επι παντα ισραηλ
10 Isboseth the son of Saul was forty years old when he began to reign over, Israel, and he reigned two years: and only the house of Juda followed David.	10 τεσσαρακοντα ετων ιεβοσθε υιος σαουλ οτε εβασιλευσεν επι τον ισραηλ και δυο ετη εβασιλευσεν πλην του οικου ιουδα οι ησαν οπισω δαυιδ
11 And the number of the days that David abode, reigning in Hebron over the house of Juda, was seven years and six months.	11 και εγενοντο αι ημεραι ας δαυιδ εβασιλευσεν εν χεβρων επι τον οικον ιουδα επτα ετη και εξ μηνας
12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Isboseth the son of Saul, went out from the camp to Gabaon	12 και εξηλθεν αβεννηρ υιος νηρ και οι παιδες ιεβοσθε υιου σαουλ εκ μαναεμ εις γαβαων
13 And Joab the son of Sarvia, and the servants of David went out, and met them by the pool of Gabaon. And when they were come together, they sat down over against one another: the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side.	13 και ιωαβ υιος σαρουιας και οι παιδες δαυιδ εξηλθοσαν εκ χεβρων και συναντωσιν αυτοις επι την κρηνην την γαβαων επι το αυτο και εκαθισαν ουτοι επι την κρηνην την γαβαων εντευθεν και ουτοι επι την κρηνην εντευθεν
14 And Abner said to Joab: Let the young men rise, and play before us. And Joab answered: Let them rise.	14 και ειπεν αβεννερ προς ιωαβ αναστητωσαν δη τα παιδαρια και παιξατωσαν ενωπιον ημων και ειπεν ιωαβ αναστητωσαν
15 Then there arose and went over twelve in number of Benjamin, of the part of Isboseth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.	15 και ανεστησαν και παρηλθον εν αριθμω των παιδων βενιαμιν δωδεκα των ιεβοσθε υιου σαουλ και δωδεκα εκ των παιδων δαυιδ
16 And every one catching his fellow, by the head, thrust his sword into the side of his adversary, and they fell down together: and the name of the place was called: The field of the valiant, in Gabaon.	16 και εκρατησαν εκαστος τη χειρι την κεφαλην του πλησιον αυτου και μαχαιρα αυτου εις πλευραν του πλησιον αυτου και πιπτουσιν κατα το αυτο και εκληθη το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου μερις των επιβουλων η εστιν εν γαβαων
17 And there was a very fierce battle that day: and Abner was put to flight, with the men of Israel, by the servants of David.	17 και εγενετο ο πολεμος σκληρος ωστε λιαν εν τη ημερα εκεινη και επταισεν αβεννηρ και ανδρες ισραηλ ενωπιον παιδων δαυιδ
18 And there were the three sons of Sarvia there, Joab, and Abisai, and Asael: now Asael was a most swift runner, like one of the roes that abide in the woods.	18 και εγενοντο εκει τρεις υιοι σαρουιας ιωαβ και αβεσσα και ασαηλ και ασαηλ κουφος τοις ποσιν αυτου ωσει μια δορκας εν αγρω
19 And Asael pursued after Abner, and turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.	19 και κατεδιωξεν ασαηλ οπισω αβεννηρ και ουκ εξεκλινεν του πορευεσθαι εις δεξια ουδε εις αριστερα κατοπισθεν αβεννηρ
20 And Abner looked behind him, and said: Art thou Asael? And he answered: I am.	20 και επεβλεψεν αβεννηρ εις τα οπισω αυτου και ειπεν ει συ ει αυτος ασαηλ και ειπεν εγω ειμι
21 And Abner said to him: Go to the right hand or to the left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take thee his spoils. But Asael would not leave off following him close.	21 και ειπεν αυτω αβεννηρ εκκλινον συ εις τα δεξια η εις τα αριστερα και κατασχε σαυτω εν των παιδαριων και λαβε σεαυτω την πανοπλιαν αυτου και ουκ ηθελησεν ασαηλ εκκλιναι εκ των οπισθεν αυτου
22 And again Abner said to Asael: Go off, and do not follow me, lest I be obliged to stab thee to the ground, and I shall not be able to hold up my face to Joab thy brother.	22 και προσεθετο ετι αβεννηρ λεγων τω ασαηλ αποστηθι απ' εμου ινα μη παταξω σε εις την γην και πως αρω το προσωπον μου προς ιωαβ και που εστιν ταυτα επιστρεφε προς ιωαβ τον αδελφον σου
23 But he refused to hearken to him, and would not turn aside: wherefore Abner struck him with his spear with a back stroke in the groin, and thrust him through, and he died upon the spot: and all that came to the place where Asael fell down and died stood still.	23 και ουκ εβουλετο του αποστηναι και τυπτει αυτον αβεννηρ εν τω οπισω του δορατος επι την ψοαν και διεξηλθεν το δορυ εκ των οπισω αυτου και πιπτει εκει και αποθνησκει υποκατω αυτου και εγενετο πας ο ερχομενος εως του τοπου ου επεσεν εκει ασαηλ και απεθανεν και υφιστατο
24 Now while Joab and Abisai pursued after Abner, the sun went down: and they came as far as the hill of the aqueduct, that lieth over against the valley by the way of the wilderness in Gabaon.	24 και κατεδιωξεν ιωαβ και αβεσσα οπισω αβεννηρ και ο ηλιος εδυνεν και αυτοι εισηλθον εως του βουνου αμμαν ο εστιν επι προσωπου γαι οδον ερημον γαβαων
25 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together to Abner: and being joined in one body, they stood on the top of a hill.	25 και συναθροιζονται υιοι βενιαμιν οι οπισω αβεννηρ και εγενηθησαν εις συναντησιν μιαν και εστησαν επι κεφαλην βουνου ενος
26 And Abner cried out to Joab, and said: Shall thy sword rage unto utter destruction? knowest thou not that it is dangerous to drive people to despair? how long dost thou defer to bid the people cease from pursuing after their brethren?	26 και εκαλεσεν αβεννηρ ιωαβ και ειπεν μη εις νικος καταφαγεται η ρομφαια η ουκ οιδας οτι πικρα εσται εις τα εσχατα και εως ποτε ου μη ειπης τω λαω αναστρεφειν απο οπισθεν των αδελφων ημων
27 And Joab said: As the Lord liveth, if thou hadst spoke sooner, even in the morning the people should have retired from pursuing after their brethren.	27 και ειπεν ιωαβ ζη κυριος οτι ει μη ελαλησας διοτι τοτε εκ πρωιθεν ανεβη ο λαος εκαστος κατοπισθεν του αδελφου αυτου
28 Then Joab sounded the trumpet, and all the army stood still, and did not pursue after Israel any farther, nor fight any more.	28 και εσαλπισεν ιωαβ τη σαλπιγγι και απεστησαν πας ο λαος και ου κατεδιωξαν οπισω του ισραηλ και ου προσεθεντο ετι του πολεμειν
29 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plains: and they passed the Jordan, and having gone through all Beth-horon, came to the camp.	29 και αβεννηρ και οι ανδρες αυτου απηλθον εις δυσμας ολην την νυκτα εκεινην και διεβαιναν τον ιορδανην και επορευθησαν ολην την παρατεινουσαν και ερχονται εις την παρεμβολην
30 And Joab returning, after he had left Abner, assembled all the people: and there were wanting of David's servants nineteen men, beside Asael.	30 και ιωαβ ανεστρεψεν οπισθεν απο του αβεννηρ και συνηθροισεν παντα τον λαον και επεσκεπησαν των παιδων δαυιδ εννεακαιδεκα ανδρες και ασαηλ
31 But the servants of David had killed of Benjamin, and of the men that were with Abner, three hundred and sixty, who all died.	31 και οι παιδες δαυιδ επαταξαν των υιων βενιαμιν των ανδρων αβεννηρ τριακοσιους εξηκοντα ανδρας παρ' αυτου
32 And they took Asael, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father in Bethlehem, and Joab, and the men that were with him, marched all the night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.	32 και αιρουσιν τον ασαηλ και θαπτουσιν αυτον εν τω ταφω του πατρος αυτου εν βαιθλεεμ και επορευθη ιωαβ και οι ανδρες οι μετ' αυτου ολην την νυκτα και διεφαυσεν αυτοις εν χεβρων
