| 1 | And there happened to be there a rebel, whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite. And he blew a trumpet, and said: “We have no share in David, Nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse; Every man to his tents, O Israel!” |
|
ΚαὶεκεῖεπικαλούμενοςυιὸςπαράνομοςκαὶόνομααυτῶΣαβεευιὸςΒοχοριανὴροΙεμενικαὶεσάλπισενεντῆκερατίνηκαὶεῖπενΟυκέστινημῖνμερὶςενΔαυιδουδὲκληρονομίαημῖνεντῶυιῶΙεσσαι·ανὴρειςτὰσκηνώματάσου,Ισραηλ.
|
|
| 2 | So every man of Israel deserted David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri. But the men of Judah, from the Jordan as far as Jerusalem, remained loyal to their king. |
|
καὶανέβηπᾶςανὴρΙσραηλαπὸόπισθενΔαυιδοπίσωΣαβεευιοῦΒοχορι,καὶανὴρΙουδαεκολλήθητῶβασιλεῖαυτῶναπὸτοῦΙορδάνουκαὶέωςΙερουσαλημ.
|
|
| 3 | Now David came to his house at Jerusalem. And the king took the ten women, his concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in seclusion and supported them, but did not go in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood. |
|
καὶεισῆλθενΔαυιδειςτὸνοῖκοναυτοῦειςΙερουσαλημ,καὶέλαβενοβασιλεὺςτὰςδέκαγυναῖκαςτὰςπαλλακὰςαυτοῦ,ὰςαφῆκενφυλάσσειντὸνοῖκον,καὶέδωκεναυτὰςενοίκωφυλακῆςκαὶδιέθρεψεναυτὰςκαὶπρὸςαυτὰςουκεισῆλθεν,καὶῆσανσυνεχόμεναιέωςημέραςθανάτουαυτῶν,χῆραιζῶσαι.—
|
|
| 4 | And the king said to Amasa, “Assemble the men of Judah for me within three days, and be present here yourself.” |
|
καὶεῖπενοβασιλεὺςπρὸςΑμεσσαιΒόησόνμοιτὸνάνδραΙουδατρεῖςημέρας,σὺδὲαυτοῦστῆθι.
|
|
| 5 | So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah. But he delayed longer than the set time which David had appointed him. |
|
καὶεπορεύθηΑμεσσαιτοῦβοῆσαιτὸνΙουδανκαὶεχρόνισεναπὸτοῦκαιροῦ,οῦετάξατοαυτῶΔαυιδ.
|
|
| 6 | And David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom. Take your lord’s servants and pursue him, lest he find for himself fortified cities, and escape us.” |
|
καὶεῖπενΔαυιδπρὸςΑβεσσαΝῦνκακοποιήσειημᾶςΣαβεευιὸςΒοχοριυπὲρΑβεσσαλωμ,καὶνῦνσὺλαβὲμετὰσεαυτοῦτοὺςπαῖδαςτοῦκυρίουσουκαὶκαταδίωξονοπίσωαυτοῦ,μήποτεεαυτῶεύρηπόλειςοχυρὰςκαὶσκιάσειτοὺςοφθαλμοὺςημῶν.
|
|
| 7 | So Joab’s men, with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men, went out after him. And they went out of Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri. |
|
καὶεξῆλθονοπίσωαυτοῦοιάνδρεςΙωαβκαὶοχερεθθικαὶοφελεθθικαὶπάντεςοιδυνατοὶκαὶεξῆλθανεξΙερουσαλημδιῶξαιοπίσωΣαβεευιοῦΒοχορι.—
|
|
| 8 | When they were at the large stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came before them. Now Joab was dressed in battle armor; on it was a belt with a sword fastened in its sheath at his hips; and as he was going forward, it fell out. |
|
καὶαυτοὶπαρὰτῶλίθωτῶμεγάλωτῶενΓαβαων,καὶΑμεσσαιεισῆλθενέμπροσθεναυτῶν.καὶΙωαβπεριεζωσμένοςμανδύαντὸένδυμααυτοῦκαὶεπ᾿αυτῶπεριεζωσμένοςμάχαιρανεζευγμένηνεπὶτῆςοσφύοςαυτοῦενκολεῶαυτῆς,καὶημάχαιραεξῆλθενκαὶέπεσεν.
|
|
| 9 | Then Joab said to Amasa, “Are you in health, my brother?” And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him. |
|
καὶεῖπενΙωαβτῶΑμεσσαιΕιυγιαίνειςσύ,αδελφέ;καὶεκράτησενηχεὶρηδεξιὰΙωαβτοῦπώγωνοςΑμεσσαιτοῦκαταφιλῆσαιαυτόν·
|
|
| 10 | But Amasa did not notice the sword that was in Joab’s hand. And he struck him with it in the stomach, and his entrails poured out on the ground; and he did not strike him again. Thus he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri. |
|
καὶΑμεσσαιουκεφυλάξατοτὴνμάχαιραντὴνεντῆχειρὶΙωαβ,καὶέπαισεναυτὸνεναυτῆΙωαβειςτὴνψόαν,καὶεξεχύθηηκοιλίααυτοῦειςτὴνγῆν,καὶουκεδευτέρωσεναυτῶ,καὶαπέθανεν.καὶΙωαβκαὶΑβεσσαοαδελφὸςαυτοῦεδίωξενοπίσωΣαβεευιοῦΒοχορι·
|
|
| 11 | Meanwhile one of Joab’s men stood near Amasa, and said, “Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David—follow Joab!” |
|
καὶανὴρέστηεπ᾿αυτὸντῶνπαιδαρίωνΙωαβκαὶεῖπενΤίςοβουλόμενοςΙωαβκαὶτίςτοῦΔαυιδ,οπίσωΙωαβ·
|
|
| 12 | But Amasa wallowed in his blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he moved Amasa from the highway to the field and threw a garment over him, when he saw that everyone who came upon him halted. |
|
καὶΑμεσσαιπεφυρμένοςεντῶαίματιενμέσωτῆςτρίβου,καὶεῖδενοανὴρότιειστήκειπᾶςολαός,καὶαπέστρεψεντὸνΑμεσσαιεκτῆςτρίβουειςαγρὸνκαὶεπέρριψενεπ᾿αυτὸνιμάτιον,καθότιεῖδενπάντατὸνερχόμενονεπ᾿αυτὸνεστηκότα·
|
|
| 13 | When he was removed from the highway, all the people went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri. |
|
ηνίκαδὲέφθασενεκτῆςτρίβου,παρῆλθενπᾶςανὴρΙσραηλοπίσωΙωαβτοῦδιῶξαιοπίσωΣαβεευιοῦΒοχορι.—
|
|
| 14 | And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel and Beth Maachah and all the Berites. So they were gathered together and also went after Sheba. |
|
καὶδιῆλθενενπάσαιςφυλαῖςΙσραηλειςΑβελκαὶειςΒαιθμαχακαὶπάντεςενΧαρρι,καὶεξεκκλησιάσθησανκαὶῆλθονκατόπισθεναυτοῦ.
|
|
| 15 | Then they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maachah; and they cast up a siege mound against the city, and it stood by the rampart. And all the people who were with Joab battered the wall to throw it down. |
|
καὶπαρεγενήθησανκαὶεπολιόρκουνεπ᾿αυτὸντὴνΑβελκαὶτὴνΒαιθμαχακαὶεξέχεανπρόσχωμαπρὸςτὴνπόλιν,καὶέστηεντῶπροτειχίσματι,καὶπᾶςολαὸςομετὰΙωαβενοοῦσανκαταβαλεῖντὸτεῖχος.
|
|
| 16 | Then a wise woman cried out from the city, “Hear, hear! Please say to Joab, ‘Come nearby, that I may speak with you.’ ” |
|
καὶεβόησενγυνὴσοφὴεκτοῦτείχουςκαὶεῖπενΑκούσατεακούσατε,είπατεδὴπρὸςΙωαβΈγγισονέωςῶδε,καὶλαλήσωπρὸςαυτόν.
|
|
| 17 | When he had come near to her, the woman said, “Are you Joab?” He answered, “I am.” Then she said to him, “Hear the words of your maidservant.” And he answered, “I am listening.” |
|
καὶπροσήγγισενπρὸςαυτήν,καὶεῖπενηγυνήΕισὺεῖΙωαβ;οδὲεῖπενΕγώ.εῖπενδὲαυτῶΆκουσοντοὺςλόγουςτῆςδούληςσου.καὶεῖπενΙωαβΑκούωεγώειμι.
|
|
| 18 | So she spoke, saying, “They used to talk in former times, saying, ‘They shall surely seek guidance at Abel,’ and so they would end disputes. |
|
καὶεῖπενλέγουσαΛόγονελάλησανενπρώτοιςλέγοντεςΗρωτημένοςηρωτήθηεντῆΑβελκαὶενΔανειεξέλιπονὰέθεντοοιπιστοὶτοῦΙσραηλ,ερωτῶντεςεπερωτήσουσινενΑβελκαὶούτωςειεξέλιπον.
|
|
| 19 | I am among the peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why would you swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?” |
|
εγώειμιειρηνικὰτῶνστηριγμάτωνΙσραηλ,σὺδὲζητεῖςθανατῶσαιπόλινκαὶμητρόπολινενΙσραηλ·ίνατίκαταποντίζειςκληρονομίανκυρίου;
|
|
| 20 | And Joab answered and said, “Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy! |
|
καὶαπεκρίθηΙωαβκαὶεῖπενΊλεώςμοιίλεώςμοι,εικαταποντιῶκαὶειδιαφθερῶ·
|
|
| 21 | That is not so. But a man from the mountains of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has raised his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city.” So the woman said to Joab, “Watch, his head will be thrown to you over the wall.” |
|
ουχοῦτοςολόγος,ότιανὴρεξόρουςΕφραιμ,ΣαβεευιὸςΒοχοριόνομααυτοῦ,καὶεπῆρεντὴνχεῖρααυτοῦεπὶτὸνβασιλέαΔαυιδ·δότεαυτόνμοιμόνον,καὶαπελεύσομαιαπάνωθεντῆςπόλεως.καὶεῖπενηγυνὴπρὸςΙωαβΙδοὺηκεφαλὴαυτοῦριφήσεταιπρὸςσὲδιὰτοῦτείχους.
|
|
| 22 | Then the woman in her wisdom went to all the people. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. Then he blew a trumpet, and they withdrew from the city, every man to his tent. So Joab returned to the king at Jerusalem. |
|
καὶεισῆλθενηγυνὴπρὸςπάντατὸνλαὸνκαὶελάλησενπρὸςπᾶσαντὴνπόλινεντῆσοφίααυτῆς·καὶαφεῖλεντὴνκεφαλὴνΣαβεευιοῦΒοχορικαὶέβαλενπρὸςΙωαβ.καὶεσάλπισενενκερατίνη,καὶδιεσπάρησαναπὸτῆςπόλεωςανὴρειςτὰσκηνώματααυτοῦ·καὶΙωαβαπέστρεψενειςΙερουσαλημπρὸςτὸνβασιλέα.
|
|
| 23 | And Joab was over all the army of Israel; Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; |
|
ΚαὶΙωαβπρὸςπάσητῆδυνάμειΙσραηλ,καὶΒαναιαςυιὸςΙωδαεεπὶτοῦχερεθθικαὶεπὶτοῦφελεθθι,
|
|
| 24 | Adoram was in charge of revenue; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; |
|
καὶΑδωνιραμεπὶτοῦφόρου,καὶΙωσαφατυιὸςΑχιλουθαναμιμνήσκων,
|
|
| 25 | Sheva was scribe; Zadok and Abiathar were the priests; |
|
καὶΣουσαγραμματεύς,καὶΣαδωκκαὶΑβιαθαριερεῖς,
|
|
| 26 | and Ira the Jairite was a chief minister under David. |
|
καίγεΙραςοΙαρινῆνιερεὺςτοῦΔαυιδ.
