1And it came to be after the death of Sha'ul, when Dawiḏ had returned from smiting the Amalĕqites, that Dawiḏ remained two days in Tsiqlag̅.
2And it came to be on the third day, that see, a man came out of the camp from Sha'ul with his garments torn and dust on his head. And it came to be, when he came to Dawiḏ, that he fell to the ground and did obeisance.
3And Dawiḏ said to him, "From where do you come?" And he said to him, "I have escaped from the camp of Yisra'ĕl."
4And Dawiḏ said to him, "What was the matter? Please inform me." And he said, "The people have fled from the battle, and also many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Sha'ul and Yehonathan his son are dead too."
5And Dawiḏ said to the young man who informed him, "How do you know that Sha'ul and Yehonathan his son are dead?"
6And the young man who informed him said, "By chance I was on Mount Gilboa and saw Sha'ul leaning on his spear. And see, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
7"And when he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me, and I answered, 'Here I am.'
8"And he said to me, 'Who are you?' So I answered him, 'I am an Amalĕqite.'
9"And he said to me, 'Please stand over me and put me to death, for agony has seized me, but my life is still in me.'
10"So I stood beside him and put him to death, for I knew he would not live after he had fallen. And I took the diadem that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my master."
11And Dawiḏ took hold of his own garments and tore them, and also all the men who were with him.
12And they mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Sha'ul and for Yehonathan his son, and for the people of יהוה and for the house of Yisra'ĕl, because they had fallen by the sword.
13Then Dawiḏ asked the young man who informed him, "Where are you from?" And he answered, "I am the son of a sojourner, an Amalĕqite."
14And Dawiḏ said to him, "How was it you were not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the anointed of יהוה?"
15And Dawiḏ called one of the young men and said, "Draw near and fall on him!" And he smote him so that he died.
16And Dawiḏ said to him, "Your blood is on your own head, for your own mouth has witnessed against you, saying, 'I myself have put to death the anointed of יהוה.' "
17Then Dawiḏ lamented with this lamentation over Sha'ul and over Yehonathan his son,
18and he ordered "The Bow" to be taught to the children of Yehuḏah. See, it is written in the Book of Yashar:
19"The splendour of Yisra'ĕl Is slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
20"Declare it not in Gath, Proclaim it not in the streets of Ashqelon, Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.
21"Mountains of Gilboa! No dew or rain be upon you, Nor fields of offerings. For there the shield of the mighty lay rejected, The shield of Sha'ul, not anointed with oil.
22"From the blood of the slain, From the fat of the mighty, The bow of Yehonathan did not turn back, And the sword of Sha'ul did not return empty.
23"Sha'ul and Yehonathan were beloved And pleasant in their lives, And in their death they were not parted. They were swifter than eagles, They were stronger than lions.
24"Daughters of Yisra'ĕl – weep over Sha'ul, Who wrapped you in scarlet, with finery; Who decked your robes with ornaments of gold.
25"How the mighty have fallen In the midst of the battle! Yehonathan was slain in your high places.
26"I am distressed for you, my brother Yehonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wondrous, Surpassing the love of women.
27"How the mighty have fallen, And the weapons of battle perish!"
1And it came to be afterwards that Dawiḏ inquired of יהוה, saying, "Do I go up to any of the cities of Yehuḏah?" And יהוה said to him, "Go up." And Dawiḏ said, "Where should I go up?" And He said, "To Ḥeḇron."
2And Dawiḏ went up there, as well as his two wives, Aḥino'am the Yizre'ĕlitess, and Aḇig̅ayil the widow of Naḇal the Karmelite.
3And Dawiḏ brought up the men who were with him, each man with his household, and they dwelt in the cities of Ḥeḇron.
4And the men of Yehuḏah came, and anointed Dawiḏ sovereign over the house of Yehuḏah there. They also reported to Dawiḏ, saying, "The men of Yaḇĕsh Gil'aḏ are they who buried Sha'ul."
5Dawiḏ then sent messengers to the men of Yaḇĕsh Gil'aḏ, and said to them, "You are blessed of יהוה, for you have shown this kindness to your master, to Sha'ul, that you buried him.
6"And now, יהוה show kindness and truth to you, and I am also going to do you good, because you have done this deed.
7"And now, let your hands be strengthened and be brave, for your master Sha'ul is dead, and also the house of Yehuḏah has anointed me sovereign over them."
8But Aḇnĕr son of Nĕr, commander of the army of Sha'ul, took Ishbosheth the son of Sha'ul, and brought him over to Maḥanayim,
9and set him up to reign over Gil'aḏ, and over the Ashĕrites, and over Yizre'ĕl, and over Ephrayim, and over Binyamin, and over all Yisra'ĕl.
10Ishbosheth, son of Sha'ul, was forty years old when he began to reign over Yisra'ĕl, and he reigned two years. Only the house of Yehuḏah followed Dawiḏ.
11And the time that Dawiḏ was sovereign in Ḥeḇron over the house of Yehuḏah was seven years and six months.
12And Aḇnĕr son of Nĕr, and the servants of Ishbosheth son of Sha'ul, went out from Maḥanayim to Giḇ'on.
13And Yo'aḇ son of Tseruyah, and the servants of Dawiḏ, went out and met them by the pool of Giḇ'on. And they sat down, one on one side of the pool and the other on the other side of the pool.
14And Aḇnĕr said to Yo'aḇ, "Let the young men now rise and compete before us." And Yo'aḇ said, "Let them rise."
15And they rose and went over by number, twelve from Binyamin, followers of Ishbosheth son of Sha'ul, and twelve from the servants of Dawiḏ.
16And each one grasped his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his opponent's side, and they fell down together. So that place was called the Field of Sharp Swords, which is in Giḇ'on.
17And the battle was fierce that day, and Aḇnĕr and the men of Yisra'ĕl were smitten before the servants of Dawiḏ.
18And there were three sons of Tseruyah there, Yo'aḇ and Aḇishai and Asah'ĕl. And Asah'ĕl was light on his feet, as one of the gazelles in the field.
19And Asah'ĕl pursued Aḇnĕr, and in going he did not turn aside to the right or to the left from following Aḇnĕr.
20And Aḇnĕr looked behind him and said, "Are you Asah'ĕl?" And he answered, "I am."
21And Aḇnĕr said to him, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take his armour for yourself." But Asah'ĕl would not turn aside from following him.
22And Aḇnĕr again said to Asah'ĕl, "Turn aside from following me. Why should I smite you to the ground? How then could I face your brother Yo'aḇ?"
23But he refused to turn aside, and Aḇnĕr smote him with the blunt end of the spear in the stomach, so that the spear came out of his back. And he fell down there and died on the spot. And it came to be that as many as came to the place where Asah'ĕl fell down and died, stood still.
24And Yo'aḇ and Aḇishai pursued Aḇnĕr. And the sun was going down and they came to the hill of Ammah, which overlooks Giyaḥ by the way to the Wilderness of Giḇ'on.
25And the children of Binyamin gathered together behind Aḇnĕr and became a single company, and took their stand on top of a hill.
26And Aḇnĕr called to Yo'aḇ and said, "Should the sword devour forever? Do you not know that it is bitter in the latter end? And when are you going to say to the people to turn back from pursuing their brothers?"
27And Yo'aḇ said, "As Elohim lives, if you had not spoken, then all the people would have given up pursuing their brothers only the next morning."
28Yo'aḇ then blew a ram's horn, and all the people halted and pursued Yisra'ĕl no further, nor did they fight any more.
29And Aḇnĕr and his men went on all that night through the desert plain, and passed over the Yardĕn, and went through all Bithron. And they came to Maḥanayim.
30And Yo'aḇ turned back from pursuing Aḇnĕr. And when he had gathered all the people together, there were missing of Dawiḏ's servants nineteen men and Asah'ĕl.
31But the servants of Dawiḏ had smitten, of Binyamin and Aḇnĕr's men, three hundred and sixty men who died.
32And they brought Asah'ĕl and buried him in his father's tomb, which was in Bĕyth Leḥem. And Yo'aḇ and his men went all night, and they came to Ḥeḇron at daybreak.
1And the fighting between the house of Sha'ul and the house of Dawiḏ was long drawn out. But Dawiḏ grew stronger and stronger, and the house of Sha'ul grew weaker and weaker.
2And sons were born to Dawiḏ in Ḥeḇron. And his first-born was Amnon by Aḥino'am the Yizre'ĕlitess;
3and his second, Kil'aḇ, by Aḇig̅ayil the widow of Naḇal the Karmelite; and the third, Aḇshalom son of Ma'aḵah, the daughter of Talmai, sovereign of Geshur;
4and the fourth, Aḏoniyah son of Ḥaggith; and the fifth, Shephatyah son of Aḇital;
5and the sixth, Yithre'am, by Dawiḏ's wife Eg̅lah. These were born to Dawiḏ in Ḥeḇron.
6And it came to be, while there was fighting between the house of Sha'ul and the house of Dawiḏ, that Aḇnĕr was strengthening himself in the house of Sha'ul.
7And Sha'ul had a concubine, whose name was Ritspah, daughter of Ayah. And Ishbosheth said to Aḇnĕr, "Why have you gone in to my father's concubine?"
8And Aḇnĕr was very displeased at the words of Ishbosheth, and said, "Am I a dog's head that belongs to Yehuḏah, that I show kindness to the house of Sha'ul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends today, and have not let you fall into the hand of Dawiḏ, that you charge me today with a sin concerning this woman?
9"Elohim does so to Aḇnĕr, and more also, if I do not do for Dawiḏ as יהוה has sworn to him:
10to cause the reign to pass over from the house of Sha'ul, and to raise up the throne of Dawiḏ over Yisra'ĕl and over Yehuḏah, from Dan to Be'ĕrsheḇa."
11And he was unable to answer Aḇnĕr another word, because he feared him.
12And Aḇnĕr sent messengers on his behalf to Dawiḏ, saying, "Whose is the land?" saying also, "Make your covenant with me, and see, my hand is with you to bring all Yisra'ĕl to you."
13And Dawiḏ said, "Good, I make a covenant with you. Only one matter I am asking of you: you do not see my face unless you first bring Miḵal, daughter of Sha'ul, when you come to see my face."
14Dawiḏ then sent messengers to Ishbosheth son of Sha'ul, saying, "Give me my wife Miḵal, to whom I became engaged for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines."
15And Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband, from Palti'ĕl son of Layish.
16But her husband went with her to Baḥurim, going on and weeping behind her. And Aḇnĕr said to him, "Go, turn back!" And he turned back.
17And Aḇnĕr had a word with the elders of Yisra'ĕl, saying, "In time past you were seeking for Dawiḏ to be sovereign over you.
18"And now, do it! For יהוה has spoken of Dawiḏ, saying, 'By the hand of My servant Dawiḏ, I save My people Yisra'ĕl from the hand of the Philistines and the hand of all their enemies.' "
19And Aḇnĕr also spoke in the hearing of Binyamin. And Aḇnĕr also went to speak in the hearing of Dawiḏ in Ḥeḇron all that seemed good to Yisra'ĕl and all the house of Binyamin.
20And Aḇnĕr and twenty men with him came to Dawiḏ at Ḥeḇron. And Dawiḏ made a feast for Aḇnĕr and the men who were with him.
21And Aḇnĕr said to Dawiḏ, "Let me arise and go, and gather all Yisra'ĕl to my master the sovereign, and let them make a covenant with you, and you shall reign over all that your being desires." And Dawiḏ sent Aḇnĕr away, and he went in peace.
22And see, the servants of Dawiḏ and Yo'aḇ came from a raid and brought much spoil with them. But Aḇnĕr was not with Dawiḏ in Ḥeḇron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.
23And Yo'aḇ and all the army that was with him came, and they reported to Yo'aḇ, saying, "Aḇnĕr son of Nĕr came to the sovereign, and he sent him away, and he has gone in peace."
24And Yo'aḇ went to the sovereign and said, "What have you done? See, Aḇnĕr has come to you! Why is it that you sent him away, and he has already gone?
25"You know that Aḇnĕr son of Nĕr came to deceive you, to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you are doing."
26Yo'aḇ then left Dawiḏ, and he sent messengers after Aḇnĕr, who brought him back from the well of Sirah. But Dawiḏ did not know it.
27Thus Aḇnĕr returned to Ḥeḇron, and Yo'aḇ took him aside in the gate to speak with him privately, and there struck him in the stomach, so that he died for the blood of Asah'ĕl his brother.
28And when Dawiḏ heard it afterwards, he said, "My reign and I are guiltless before יהוה forever of the blood of Aḇnĕr son of Nĕr.
29"Let it rest on the head of Yo'aḇ and on all his father's house. And let there never fail to be in the house of Yo'aḇ one who has a discharge or is a leper, who leans on a staff or falls by the sword, or who lacks bread."
30So Yo'aḇ and Aḇishai his brother slew Aḇnĕr, because he had killed their brother Asah'ĕl at Giḇ'on in the battle.
31And Dawiḏ said to Yo'aḇ and to all the people who were with him, "Tear your garments, gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn for Aḇnĕr." And Sovereign Dawiḏ followed the coffin.
32And they buried Aḇnĕr in Ḥeḇron. And the sovereign lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Aḇnĕr, and all the people wept.
33And the sovereign sang a lament over Aḇnĕr and said, "Should Aḇnĕr die as a fool dies?
34"Your hands were not bound nor your feet put into shackles. As one falls before sons of evil, so you fell." And all the people wept over him again.
35And all the people came to cause Dawiḏ to eat food while it was still day, but Dawiḏ swore, saying, "Elohim do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread or whatever else till the sun goes down!"
36And all the people took note of it, and it was good in their eyes, since whatever the sovereign did was good in the eyes of all the people.
37And all the people and all Yisra'ĕl knew that day that it had not been the sovereign's intent to kill Aḇnĕr son of Nĕr.
38The sovereign also said to his servants, "Do you not know that a prince and a great one has fallen in Yisra'ĕl today?
39"And I am weak today, though anointed sovereign. And these men, the sons of Tseruyah, are too harsh for me. Let יהוה repay the evil-doer according to his evil."
1And the son of Sha'ul heard that Aḇnĕr had died in Ḥeḇron, and he lost heart, and all Yisra'ĕl was troubled.
2And the son of Sha'ul had two men, commanders of bands, and the name of one was Ba'anah and the name of the other Rĕḵaḇ, sons of Rimmon the Be'ĕrothite, of the children of Binyamin. For Be'ĕroth was also reckoned to Binyamin,
3because the Be'ĕrothites fled to Gittayim and have been sojourners there until this day.
4Now Yehonathan, son of Sha'ul, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news about Sha'ul and Yehonathan came from Yizre'ĕl, and his nurse took him up and fled. And it came to be, as she hurried to flee, that he fell and became lame. And his name was Mephiḇosheth.
5So the sons of Rimmon the Be'ĕrothite, Rĕḵaḇ and Ba'anah, went and came at about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who was lying on his bed at noon.
6And they came into the midst of the house, to fetch wheat, and they struck him in the stomach, and Rĕḵaḇ and Ba'anah his brother escaped.
7Thus they came into the house when he was lying on his bed in his bedroom, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him. And they took his head, and went the way of the desert plain all night,
8and brought the head of Ishbosheth to Dawiḏ at Ḥeḇron, and said to the sovereign, "See, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Sha'ul your enemy, who sought your life. So יהוה has given my master the sovereign vengeance on Sha'ul and his seed this day."
9And Dawiḏ answered Rĕḵaḇ and Ba'anah his brother, sons of Rimmon the Be'ĕrothite, and said to them, "As יהוה lives, who has redeemed my life out of all distress,
10when someone reported to me, saying, 'See, Sha'ul is dead,' and he was a bearer of good news in his own eyes, I then took hold of him and slew him in Tsiqlag̅, which was the reward I gave him for his news.
11"How much more, when wrong men have slain a righteous man in his own house on his bed, should I not now require his blood at your hand and remove you from the earth?"
12And Dawiḏ commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and feet, and hanged them by the pool in Ḥeḇron. And they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it in the tomb of Aḇnĕr in Ḥeḇron.
