2 Samuel 20

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
1 And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Seba, the son of Bochri, a man of Jemini: and he sounded the trumpet, and said: We have no part in David, nor inheritance in the son of Isai: return to thy dwellings, O Israel.	1 και εκει επικαλουμενος υιος παρανομος και ονομα αυτω σαβεε υιος βοχορι ανηρ ο ιεμενι και εσαλπισεν εν τη κερατινη και ειπεν ουκ εστιν ημιν μερις εν δαυιδ ουδε κληρονομια ημιν εν τω υιω ιεσσαι ανηρ εις τα σκηνωματα σου ισραηλ
2 And all Israel departed from David, and followed Seba the son of Bochri: but the men of Juda stuck to their king from the Jordan unto Jerusalem.	2 και ανεβη πας ανηρ ισραηλ απο οπισθεν δαυιδ οπισω σαβεε υιου βοχορι και ανηρ ιουδα εκολληθη τω βασιλει αυτων απο του ιορδανου και εως ιερουσαλημ
3 And when the king was come into his house at Jerusalem, he took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, allowing them provisions: and he went not in unto them, but they were shut up unto the day of their death living in widowhood.	3 και εισηλθεν δαυιδ εις τον οικον αυτου εις ιερουσαλημ και ελαβεν ο βασιλευς τας δεκα γυναικας τας παλλακας αυτου ας αφηκεν φυλασσειν τον οικον και εδωκεν αυτας εν οικω φυλακης και διεθρεψεν αυτας και προς αυτας ουκ εισηλθεν και ησαν συνεχομεναι εως ημερας θανατου αυτων χηραι ζωσαι
4 And the king said to Amasa: Assemble to me all the men of Juda against the third day, and be thou here present.	4 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς αμεσσαι βοησον μοι τον ανδρα ιουδα τρεις ημερας συ δε αυτου στηθι
5 So Amasa went to assemble the men of Juda, but he tarried beyond the set time which the king had appointed him.	5 και επορευθη αμεσσαι του βοησαι τον ιουδαν και εχρονισεν απο του καιρου ου εταξατο αυτω δαυιδ
6 And David said to Abisai: Now will Seba the son of Bochri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou therefore the servants of thy lord, and pursue after him, lest he find fenced cities, and escape us.	6 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς αβεσσα νυν κακοποιησει ημας σαβεε υιος βοχορι υπερ αβεσσαλωμ και νυν συ λαβε μετα σεαυτου τους παιδας του κυριου σου και καταδιωξον οπισω αυτου μηποτε εαυτω ευρη πολεις οχυρας και σκιασει τους οφθαλμους ημων
7 So Joab's men went out with him, and the Cerethi and the Phelethi: and all the valiant men went out of Jerusalem to pursue after Seba the son of Bochri.	7 και εξηλθον οπισω αυτου οι ανδρες ιωαβ και ο χερεθθι και ο φελεθθι και παντες οι δυνατοι και εξηλθαν εξ ιερουσαλημ διωξαι οπισω σαβεε υιου βοχορι
8 And when they were at the great stone which is in Gabaon, Amasa coming met them. And Joab had on a close coat of equal length with his habit, and over it was girded with a sword hanging down to his flank, in a scabbard, made in such manner as to come out with the least motion and strike.	8 και αυτοι παρα τω λιθω τω μεγαλω τω εν γαβαων και αμεσσαι εισηλθεν εμπροσθεν αυτων και ιωαβ περιεζωσμενος μανδυαν το ενδυμα αυτου και επ' αυτω περιεζωσμενος μαχαιραν εζευγμενην επι της οσφυος αυτου εν κολεω αυτης και η μαχαιρα εξηλθεν και επεσεν
9 And Joab said to Amasa: God save thee, my brother. And he took Amasa by the chin with his right hand to kiss him.	9 και ειπεν ιωαβ τω αμεσσαι ει υγιαινεις συ αδελφε και εκρατησεν η χειρ η δεξια ιωαβ του πωγωνος αμεσσαι του καταφιλησαι αυτον
10 But Amasa did not take notice of the sword, which Joab had, and he struck him in the side, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and gave him not a second wound, and he died. And Joab, and Abisai his brother pursued after Seba the son of Bochri.	10 και αμεσσαι ουκ εφυλαξατο την μαχαιραν την εν τη χειρι ιωαβ και επαισεν αυτον εν αυτη ιωαβ εις την ψοαν και εξεχυθη η κοιλια αυτου εις την γην και ουκ εδευτερωσεν αυτω και απεθανεν και ιωαβ και αβεσσα ο αδελφος αυτου εδιωξεν οπισω σαβεε υιου βοχορι
11 In the mean time some men of Joab's company stopping at the dead body of Amasa, said: Behold he that would have been in Joab's stead the companion of David.	11 και ανηρ εστη επ' αυτον των παιδαριων ιωαβ και ειπεν τις ο βουλομενος ιωαβ και τις του δαυιδ οπισω ιωαβ
12 And Amasa imbrued with blood, lay in the midst of the way. A certain man saw this that all the people stood still to look upon him, so he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and covered him with a garment, that they who passed might not stop on his account.	12 και αμεσσαι πεφυρμενος εν τω αιματι εν μεσω της τριβου και ειδεν ο ανηρ οτι ειστηκει πας ο λαος και απεστρεψεν τον αμεσσαι εκ της τριβου εις αγρον και επερριψεν επ' αυτον ιματιον καθοτι ειδεν παντα τον ερχομενον επ' αυτον εστηκοτα
13 And when he was removed out of the way, all the people went on following Joab to pursue after Seba the son of Bochri.	13 ηνικα δε εφθασεν εκ της τριβου παρηλθεν πας ανηρ ισραηλ οπισω ιωαβ του διωξαι οπισω σαβεε υιου βοχορι
14 Now he had passed through all the tribes of Israel unto Abela and Bethmaacha: and all the chosen men were gathered together unto him.	14 και διηλθεν εν πασαις φυλαις ισραηλ εις αβελ και εις βαιθμαχα και παντες εν χαρρι και εξεκκλησιασθησαν και ηλθον κατοπισθεν αυτου
15 And they came, and besieged him in Abela, and in Bethmaacha, and they cast up works round the city, and the city was besieged: and all the people that were with Joab, laboured to throw down the walls.	15 και παρεγενηθησαν και επολιορκουν επ' αυτον την αβελ και την βαιθμαχα και εξεχεαν προσχωμα προς την πολιν και εστη εν τω προτειχισματι και πας ο λαος ο μετα ιωαβ ενοουσαν καταβαλειν το τειχος
16 And a wise woman cried out from the city: Hear, hear, and say to Joab: Come near hither, and I will speak with thee.	16 και εβοησεν γυνη σοφη εκ του τειχους και ειπεν ακουσατε ακουσατε ειπατε δη προς ιωαβ εγγισον εως ωδε και λαλησω προς αυτον
17 And when he was come near to her, she said to him: Art thou Joab? And he answered: I am. And she spoke thus to him: Hear the words of thy handmaid. He answered: I do hear.	17 και προσηγγισεν προς αυτην και ειπεν η γυνη ει συ ει ιωαβ ο δε ειπεν εγω ειπεν δε αυτω ακουσον τους λογους της δουλης σου και ειπεν ιωαβ ακουω εγω ειμι
18 And she again said: A saying was used in the old proverb: They that inquire, let them inquire in Abela: and so they made an end.	18 και ειπεν λεγουσα λογον ελαλησαν εν πρωτοις λεγοντες ηρωτημενος ηρωτηθη εν τη αβελ και εν δαν ει εξελιπον α εθεντο οι πιστοι του ισραηλ ερωτωντες επερωτησουσιν εν αβελ και ουτως ει εξελιπον
19 Am not I she that answer truth in Israel, and thou seekest to destroy the city, and to overthrow a mother in Israel? Why wilt thou throw down the inheritance of the Lord?	19 εγω ειμι ειρηνικα των στηριγματων ισραηλ συ δε ζητεις θανατωσαι πολιν και μητροπολιν εν ισραηλ ινα τι καταποντιζεις κληρονομιαν κυριου
20 And Joab answering said: God forbid, God forbid that I should, I do not throw down, nor destroy.	20 και απεκριθη ιωαβ και ειπεν ιλεως μοι ιλεως μοι ει καταποντιω και ει διαφθερω
21 The matter is not so, but a man of mount Ephraim, Seba the son of Bochri by name, hath lifted up his hand against king David: deliver him only, and we will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab: Behold his head shall be thrown to thee from the wall.	21 ουχ ουτος ο λογος οτι ανηρ εξ ορους εφραιμ σαβεε υιος βοχορι ονομα αυτου και επηρεν την χειρα αυτου επι τον βασιλεα δαυιδ δοτε αυτον μοι μονον και απελευσομαι απανωθεν της πολεως και ειπεν η γυνη προς ιωαβ ιδου η κεφαλη αυτου ριφησεται προς σε δια του τειχους
22 So she went to all the people, and spoke to them wisely: and they cut off the head of Seba the son of Bochri, and cast it out to Joab. And he sounded the trumpet, and they departed from the city, every one to their home: and Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.	22 και εισηλθεν η γυνη προς παντα τον λαον και ελαλησεν προς πασαν την πολιν εν τη σοφια αυτης και αφειλεν την κεφαλην σαβεε υιου βοχορι και εβαλεν προς ιωαβ και εσαλπισεν εν κερατινη και διεσπαρησαν απο της πολεως ανηρ εις τα σκηνωματα αυτου και ιωαβ απεστρεψεν εις ιερουσαλημ προς τον βασιλεα
23 So Joab was over all the army of Israel: and Banaias the son of Joiada was over the Cerethites and Phelethites,	23 και ιωαβ προς παση τη δυναμει ισραηλ και βαναιας υιος ιωδαε επι του χερεθθι και επι του φελεθθι
24 But Aduram over the tributes: and Josaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder.	24 και αδωνιραμ επι του φορου και ιωσαφατ υιος αχιλουθ αναμιμνησκων
25 And Siva was scribe: and Sadoc and Abiathar, priests.	25 και σουσα γραμματευς και σαδωκ και αβιαθαρ ιερεις
26 And Ira the Jairite was the priest of David.	26 και γε ιρας ο ιαριν ην ιερευς του δαυιδ
