サムエル記Ⅱ 3
Japanese Living Bible
3 これが、サウル家とダビデ家との長い戦いの始まりでした。ダビデがますます権力を増していくのに反して、サウル王家は衰えていきました。
2 ダビデには、ヘブロンでの生活の間に何人もの息子が生まれました。長男のアムノンは、妻アヒノアムから生まれました。 3 次男のキルアブは、カルメル人ナバルの未亡人だったアビガイルから生まれました。三男アブシャロムの母親は、ゲシュルの王タルマイの娘マアカでした。 4 四男アドニヤはハギテから、五男シェファテヤはアビタルから、 5 六男のイテレアムはエグラから生まれました。
ダビデの側についたアブネル
6 内戦が続く中、アブネルはサウル家で押しも押されもせぬ政治的指導者にのし上がっていきました。 7 その地位を利用して、サウル王のそばめの一人だったリツパという娘と関係をもつようになりました。そのことでサウルの子イシュ・ボシェテから責められると、 8 アブネルはひどく腹を立て、言いました。「私は、たかがこれくらいのことで文句を言われなければならないユダの犬なのか。だれのおかげで、ダビデに売り渡されずにすんだのか。あなたのため、お父上サウル王のため、この私がどれほど尽くしてきたか。それなのに、あの女のことで難くせをつけて、恩を仇で返されるとは。 9-10 覚えておくのだ。主のお告げどおり、ダンからベエル・シェバに至る全王国をあなたから取り上げて、ダビデに渡す。もしできなかったら、この首を差し出そう。」
11 イシュ・ボシェテはもはやことばを返せませんでした。アブネルを恐れたのです。
12 アブネルはダビデに使者を立て、一つの申し入れをしました。全イスラエルを引き渡すのと交換に、自分をイスラエルとユダの連合軍の司令官にしてほしいというのです。 13 ダビデは答えました。「よいだろう。ただし、私の妻である、サウルの娘ミカルを連れて来てくれ。それが条件だ。」 14 それからダビデは使者を立て、イシュ・ボシェテに伝えました。「私の妻ミカルを返してほしい。ペリシテ人百人のいのちと引き替えにめとった妻だから。」
15 それでイシュ・ボシェテは、ミカルをその夫、ライシュの子パルティエルから取り上げました。 16 パルティエルはバフリムまで泣き泣きあとを追って来たものの、アブネルに「もう帰れ」と言われて、すごすごと引き返して行きました。
17 その間、アブネルはイスラエルの指導者たちと協議し、彼らが長年ダビデの支配を望んでいたことを確かめました。 18 「今こそ、時がきたのだ！ 主が、『わたしはダビデによって、わたしの民をペリシテ人から、また、すべての敵から救い出そう』とおっしゃったではないか」と、アブネルは言いました。
19 アブネルはまた、ベニヤミン族の指導者たちとも話し合いました。それからヘブロンへ行き、イスラエルおよびベニヤミンの人々との交渉の経過を、ダビデに報告したのです。 20 二十人の部下を伴ったアブネルを、ダビデは祝宴を張ってもてなしました。 21 アブネルはダビデのもとを辞する時、こう約束しました。「帰りしだい、全イスラエルを召集します。多年のお望みがかないます。全国民はきっと、あなた様を王に選ぶでしょうから。」こうしてダビデはアブネルを送り出し、アブネルは安心して出て行きました。
アブネル暗殺
22 ちょうど入れ違いに、ダビデの兵士たちとヨアブが、戦利品をどっさりかかえて奇襲攻撃から戻って来ました。 23 ダビデのもとを訪れたアブネルとの話し合いが、極めて友好的だったと聞くと、 24-25 ヨアブは王のもとへ飛んで行きました。「あんまりではございませんか。アブネルをむざむざお帰しになるなど、もってのほかです。あの男の魂胆はご存じでしょう。われわれを攻めるために、動静を探りに来たに違いありません。」
26 ヨアブは直ちにアブネルを追わせ、連れ戻すようにと命じました。追っ手はシラの井戸あたりで追いつき、いっしょに引き返しました。しかし、ダビデはこのことを知りませんでした。 27 ヘブロンに着いたアブネルを、ヨアブは個人的な話があるように見せかけて、町の門のそばへ呼び出しました。そして、ヨアブはやにわに短剣を抜いてアブネルを刺し殺し、弟アサエルの復讐をしたのです。 28 この一件を知らされたダビデは言いました。「私は神にかけて誓う。私も民も、このアブネル殺しの罪には全く関与していない。 29 その責任は、ヨアブとその一族に降りかかるのだ。ヨアブの家は子々孫々、汚れた者、不妊の者、飢え死にする者、剣に倒れる者が絶えないだろう。」
30 ヨアブとその兄弟アビシャイがアブネルを殺したのは、ギブオンの戦いで殺された弟アサエルのかたきを討つためでした。
31 ダビデは、ヨアブおよび彼とともにいた全員に告げて言いました。「アブネルのために嘆き悲しみ、喪に服すのだ。」ダビデは墓地まで棺につき添い、 32 アブネルをヘブロンに葬りました。王も民もみな、墓のそばで声を上げて泣きました。 33-34 「アブネル、どうして愚かな死に方をしたのだ」とダビデは嘆き、歌いました。
「おまえの手は縛られず、
足もつながれなかったのに、
おまえは暗殺された、
悪い計略のいけにえとして」
民もまた、アブネルを悼んで泣きました。
35-36 弔いの日、ダビデは食事を少しでも口にするように勧められましたが、日没まで食を断つと誓って聞きませんでした。こればかりでなく、ダビデのすることなすことはすべて、人々を満足させました。 37 ダビデの行いをつぶさに見たユダとイスラエルの全国民は、それによってアブネルの死の責任がダビデにないことを認めたのです。
38 ダビデは家来たちに言いました。「今日、イスラエルで一人の偉大な指導者、偉大な人物が倒れた。 39 私は神に選ばれた王だが、ツェルヤのこの二人の息子に何もできない。どうか主が、このような悪を行った者に報いられるように。」
2 Samuel 3

2 Samuel 3
New International Version
3 The war between the house of Saul and the house of David lasted a long time.(A) David grew stronger and stronger,(B) while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.(C)
2 Sons were born to David in Hebron:
His firstborn was Amnon(D) the son of Ahinoam(E) of Jezreel;
3 his second, Kileab the son of Abigail(F) the widow of Nabal of Carmel;
the third, Absalom(G) the son of Maakah daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;(H)
4 the fourth, Adonijah(I) the son of Haggith;
the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
5 and the sixth, Ithream the son of David’s wife Eglah.
These were born to David in Hebron.
Abner Goes Over to David
6 During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner(J) had been strengthening his own position in the house of Saul. 7 Now Saul had had a concubine(K) named Rizpah(L) daughter of Aiah. And Ish-Bosheth said to Abner, “Why did you sleep with my father’s concubine?”
8 Abner was very angry because of what Ish-Bosheth said. So he answered, “Am I a dog’s head(M)—on Judah’s side? This very day I am loyal to the house of your father Saul and to his family and friends. I haven’t handed you over to David. Yet now you accuse me of an offense involving this woman! 9 May God deal with Abner, be it ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the Lord promised(N) him on oath 10 and transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and establish David’s throne over Israel and Judah from Dan to Beersheba.”(O) 11 Ish-Bosheth did not dare to say another word to Abner, because he was afraid of him.
12 Then Abner sent messengers on his behalf to say to David, “Whose land is it? Make an agreement with me, and I will help you bring all Israel over to you.”
13 “Good,” said David. “I will make an agreement with you. But I demand one thing of you: Do not come into my presence unless you bring Michal daughter of Saul when you come to see me.”(P) 14 Then David sent messengers to Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, demanding, “Give me my wife Michal,(Q) whom I betrothed to myself for the price of a hundred Philistine foreskins.”
15 So Ish-Bosheth gave orders and had her taken away from her husband(R) Paltiel(S) son of Laish. 16 Her husband, however, went with her, weeping behind her all the way to Bahurim.(T) Then Abner said to him, “Go back home!” So he went back.
17 Abner conferred with the elders(U) of Israel and said, “For some time you have wanted to make David your king. 18 Now do it! For the Lord promised David, ‘By my servant David I will rescue my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines(V) and from the hand of all their enemies.(W)’”
19 Abner also spoke to the Benjamites in person. Then he went to Hebron to tell David everything that Israel and the whole tribe of Benjamin(X) wanted to do. 20 When Abner, who had twenty men with him, came to David at Hebron, David prepared a feast(Y) for him and his men. 21 Then Abner said to David, “Let me go at once and assemble all Israel for my lord the king, so that they may make a covenant(Z) with you, and that you may rule over all that your heart desires.”(AA) So David sent Abner away, and he went in peace.
Joab Murders Abner
22 Just then David’s men and Joab returned from a raid and brought with them a great deal of plunder. But Abner was no longer with David in Hebron, because David had sent him away, and he had gone in peace. 23 When Joab and all the soldiers with him arrived, he was told that Abner son of Ner had come to the king and that the king had sent him away and that he had gone in peace.
24 So Joab went to the king and said, “What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why did you let him go? Now he is gone! 25 You know Abner son of Ner; he came to deceive you and observe your movements and find out everything you are doing.”
26 Joab then left David and sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the cistern at Sirah. But David did not know it. 27 Now when Abner(AB) returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into an inner chamber, as if to speak with him privately. And there, to avenge the blood of his brother Asahel, Joab stabbed him(AC) in the stomach, and he died.(AD)
28 Later, when David heard about this, he said, “I and my kingdom are forever innocent(AE) before the Lord concerning the blood of Abner son of Ner. 29 May his blood(AF) fall on the head of Joab and on his whole family!(AG) May Joab’s family never be without someone who has a running sore(AH) or leprosy[a] or who leans on a crutch or who falls by the sword or who lacks food.”
30 (Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.)
31 Then David said to Joab and all the people with him, “Tear your clothes and put on sackcloth(AI) and walk in mourning(AJ) in front of Abner.” King David himself walked behind the bier. 32 They buried Abner in Hebron, and the king wept(AK) aloud at Abner’s tomb. All the people wept also.
33 The king sang this lament(AL) for Abner:
“Should Abner have died as the lawless die?
34 Your hands were not bound,
your feet were not fettered.(AM)
You fell as one falls before the wicked.”
And all the people wept over him again.
35 Then they all came and urged David to eat something while it was still day; but David took an oath, saying, “May God deal with me, be it ever so severely,(AN) if I taste bread(AO) or anything else before the sun sets!”
36 All the people took note and were pleased; indeed, everything the king did pleased them. 37 So on that day all the people there and all Israel knew that the king had no part(AP) in the murder of Abner son of Ner.
38 Then the king said to his men, “Do you not realize that a commander and a great man has fallen(AQ) in Israel this day? 39 And today, though I am the anointed king, I am weak, and these sons of Zeruiah(AR) are too strong(AS) for me.(AT) May the Lord repay(AU) the evildoer according to his evil deeds!”

2 Samuel 3
King James Version
3 Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.
2 And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
3 And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
4 And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
5 And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
6 And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul.
7 And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ishbosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father's concubine?
8 Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ishbosheth, and said, Am I a dog's head, which against Judah do shew kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou chargest me to day with a fault concerning this woman?
9 So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the Lord hath sworn to David, even so I do to him;
10 To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.
11 And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him.
12 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying also, Make thy league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring about all Israel unto thee.
13 And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
14 And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for an hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
15 And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Phaltiel the son of Laish.
16 And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return. And he returned.
17 And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David in times past to be king over you:
18 Now then do it: for the Lord hath spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
19 And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin.
20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a feast.
21 And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a league with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
22 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from pursuing a troop, and brought in a great spoil with them: but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace.
23 When Joab and all the host that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.
24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone?
25 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest.
26 And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him again from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not.
27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there under the fifth rib, that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
28 And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
29 Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread.
30 So Joab, and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David himself followed the bier.
32 And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
33 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth?
34 Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man falleth before wicked men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him.
35 And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down.
36 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them: as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people.
37 For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
38 And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
39 And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah be too hard for me: the Lord shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness.

12 サウルから身を隠し、ツィケラグにいたダビデのもとに馳せ参じた勇士たちは次のとおりです。 2 彼らはみな、右手も左手も同じように使うことができ、弓と石投げの名手で、サウル王と同じくベニヤミン族の出身でした。
3-7 彼らの長はギブア出身のシェマアの子アヒエゼルで、その他の者は次のとおり。アヒエゼルの兄弟ヨアシュ、アズマベテの子のエジエルとペレテ、ベラカ、アナトテ出身のエフー、三十人の勇士よりも評判の高かったギブオン出身のイシュマヤ、エレミヤ、ヤハジエル、ヨハナン、ゲデラ出身のエホザバデ、エルウザイ、エリモテ、ベアルヤ、シェマルヤ、ハリフ出身のシェファテヤ、エルカナ、イシヤ、アザルエル、ヨエゼル、ヤショブアム。以上はコラ人です。それにゲドル出身のエロハムの子のヨエラとゼバデヤ。
8-13 ガド族で評判の勇士たちも、荒野にいるダビデのもとに集まりました。彼らは盾と槍の名手で、「かもしかのように足が速く、しかもライオンのような顔をした人々」でした。その長はエゼル。第二はオバデヤ。第三はエリアブ。第四はミシュマナ。第五はエレミヤ。第六はアタイ。第七はエリエル。第八はヨハナン。第九はエルザバデ。第十はエレミヤ。第十一はマクバナイ。
14 彼らは軍の将校で、いちばん弱い者でも普通の兵士百人に匹敵し、強い者ともなると千人にも匹敵しました。 15 彼らはヨルダン川の水があふれる時に川を渡って、両岸の低地を占領したことがあります。
16 ほかに、ベニヤミンとユダの各部族からも、ダビデのもとへ集まった人々があります。 17 ダビデは彼らを迎えに出て言いました。「私を助けに来てくれたのなら、私たちはこれから友人だ。しかし、もし罪のない私を敵に売り渡すために来たのなら、父祖の神が報復してくださるように。」
18 その時、聖霊が彼らに臨み、三十人の勇士の一人アマサイが答えました。
「ダビデ様。私たちは味方です。
エッサイの子よ。私たちは家来になります。
あなたと、あなたを助けるすべての者に平安がありますように。
神が共におられるからです。」
ダビデは彼らを味方に加え、隊長に取り立てました。
19 ダビデがペリシテ人とともにサウル王との戦いに出て行った時、マナセ族出身の幾人かも、イスラエル軍を離れてダビデのもとにやって来ました。ところが、いざ戦いという時になって、ペリシテ人の将軍たちは、ダビデの部隊が戦闘に加わることを拒んだのです。激論の末、ペリシテ人はダビデの部隊を送り返しました。ダビデとその部下がサウル王に寝返って、自分たちを窮地に陥れるのではないかと恐れたのでした。
20 ダビデがツィケラグへの道を進んでいた時、彼を頼って来たマナセ部族の人々は、次のとおりです。アデナフ、エホザバデ、エディアエル、ミカエル、エホザバデ、エリフ、ツィルタイ。みなマナセ部隊の将校でした。 21 彼らはすぐれた勇士ばかりで、ダビデを助けてツィケラグでアマレクの略奪隊と戦いました。
22 ほとんど毎日のように人々が集まって来たので、ダビデの軍隊は神の陣営のように強大になりました。 23 ヘブロンでダビデのもとに集まった人々はみな、主のことばどおり、ダビデがサウルに代わって王になることを願っていました。その数は次のとおりです。
24-37 ユダ族から、盾と槍で武装した兵士六千八百人。
シメオン族から、すぐれた勇士七千百人。
レビ人から四千六百人。
アロンの子孫である祭司から、エホヤダと勇気ある若者ツァドクに率いられた三千七百人。ツァドクとその一族の二十二人は、戦う祭司団の将校でした。
サウルの属していたベニヤミン族から三千人。この部族の大多数は、サウルについていました。
エフライム族から、各氏族での名門の勇士二万八百人。
マナセの半部族から、ダビデを王とするために集まった一万八千人。
イッサカル族から、部族の指導者が二百人。彼らはみな時代の流れに通じ、イスラエルの進むべき最善の道を知っていました。
ゼブルン族から、訓練された勇士五万人。彼らは完全に武装し、心からダビデに仕えました。
ナフタリ族から、千人の将校と、盾と槍で武装した兵士三万七千人。
ダン族から、戦いの備えをした兵士二万八千六百人。
アシェル族から、訓練された兵士四万人。
ルベンとガドの各部族、それにマナセの半部族が住んでいたヨルダン川の東側から、あらゆる種類の武器を備えた兵士十二万人。
38 これらの戦士たちは、ダビデをイスラエルの王にする目的で、ヘブロンに集結しました。実のところ、イスラエルの民のすべてが、ダビデが新しい王になることを望んでいたのです。 39 すでに迎えの準備がされていて、彼らは三日間ダビデとともに宴を張り、飲み食いしました。 40 近くから来た者も、イッサカル、ゼブルン、ナフタリのように遠くから来た者も、ろば、らくだ、らば、牛などで食物を運んで来ました。小麦粉、干しいちじくの菓子、干しぶどう、ぶどう酒、油、牛、羊などが、この祝宴のために山ほど運ばれてきました。国中が喜びにわきかえっていました。

Warriors Join David
12 These were the men who came to David at Ziklag,(A) while he was banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish (they were among the warriors who helped him in battle; 2 they were armed with bows and were able to shoot arrows or to sling stones right-handed or left-handed;(B) they were relatives of Saul(C) from the tribe of Benjamin):
3 Ahiezer their chief and Joash the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Berakah, Jehu the Anathothite, 4 and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty warrior among the Thirty, who was a leader of the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad the Gederathite,[a](D) 5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah and Shephatiah the Haruphite; 6 Elkanah, Ishiah, Azarel, Joezer and Jashobeam the Korahites; 7 and Joelah and Zebadiah the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.(E)
8 Some Gadites(F) defected to David at his stronghold in the wilderness. They were brave warriors, ready for battle and able to handle the shield and spear. Their faces were the faces of lions,(G) and they were as swift as gazelles(H) in the mountains.
9 Ezer was the chief,
Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 Jeremiah the tenth and Makbannai the eleventh.
14 These Gadites were army commanders; the least was a match for a hundred,(I) and the greatest for a thousand.(J) 15 It was they who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks,(K) and they put to flight everyone living in the valleys, to the east and to the west.
16 Other Benjamites(L) and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold. 17 David went out to meet them and said to them, “If you have come to me in peace to help me, I am ready for you to join me. But if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free from violence, may the God of our ancestors see it and judge you.”
18 Then the Spirit(M) came on Amasai,(N) chief of the Thirty, and he said:
“We are yours, David!
We are with you, son of Jesse!
Success,(O) success to you,
and success to those who help you,
for your God will help you.”
So David received them and made them leaders of his raiding bands.
19 Some of the tribe of Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (He and his men did not help the Philistines because, after consultation, their rulers sent him away. They said, “It will cost us our heads if he deserts to his master Saul.”)(P) 20 When David went to Ziklag,(Q) these were the men of Manasseh who defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu and Zillethai, leaders of units of a thousand in Manasseh. 21 They helped David against raiding bands, for all of them were brave warriors, and they were commanders in his army. 22 Day after day men came to help David, until he had a great army, like the army of God.[b]
Others Join David at Hebron
23 These are the numbers of the men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron(R) to turn(S) Saul’s kingdom over to him, as the Lord had said:(T)
24 from Judah, carrying shield and spear—6,800 armed for battle;
25 from Simeon, warriors ready for battle—7,100;
26 from Levi—4,600, 27 including Jehoiada, leader of the family of Aaron, with 3,700 men, 28 and Zadok,(U) a brave young warrior, with 22 officers from his family;
29 from Benjamin,(V) Saul’s tribe—3,000, most(W) of whom had remained loyal to Saul’s house until then;
30 from Ephraim, brave warriors, famous in their own clans—20,800;
31 from half the tribe of Manasseh, designated by name to come and make David king—18,000;
32 from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do(X)—200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command;
33 from Zebulun, experienced soldiers prepared for battle with every type of weapon, to help David with undivided loyalty—50,000;
34 from Naphtali—1,000 officers, together with 37,000 men carrying shields and spears;
35 from Dan, ready for battle—28,600;
36 from Asher, experienced soldiers prepared for battle—40,000;
37 and from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, armed with every type of weapon—120,000.
38 All these were fighting men who volunteered to serve in the ranks. They came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel.(Y) All the rest of the Israelites were also of one mind to make David king. 39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking,(Z) for their families had supplied provisions for them. 40 Also, their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun and Naphtali came bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules and oxen. There were plentiful supplies(AA) of flour, fig cakes, raisin(AB) cakes, wine, olive oil, cattle and sheep, for there was joy(AC) in Israel.

12 Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the war.
2 They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul's brethren of Benjamin.
3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite.
4 And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite,
5 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,
6 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korhites,
7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains;
9 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.
14 These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.
15 These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.
16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David.
17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.
18 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.
19 And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.
20 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh.
21 And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.
22 For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God.
23 And these are the numbers of the bands that were ready armed to the war, and came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the Lord.
24 The children of Judah that bare shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.
25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for the war, seven thousand and one hundred.
26 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.
27 And Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites, and with him were three thousand and seven hundred;
28 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his father's house twenty and two captains.
29 And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept the ward of the house of Saul.
30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house of their fathers.
31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David king.
32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.
33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they were not of double heart.
34 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand.
35 And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight thousand and six hundred.
36 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, forty thousand.
37 And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, an hundred and twenty thousand.
38 All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.
39 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.
40 Moreover they that were nigh them, even unto Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel.

規則より大切なもの
15 パリサイ人やユダヤ人の指導者たちが、イエスに会いに、エルサレムからやって来ました。 2 彼らはイエスに、「どうしてあなたの弟子たちは、先祖の言い伝えを守らないのか。食事の前に手を洗わないのはどうしてか」と迫りました。
3 そこで、イエスは言われました。「それならお聞きします。あなたがたも自分たちの言い伝えのために、神の戒めを破っています。それはどういうわけですか。 4 たとえば、律法には、『あなたの父と母とを敬え。だれでも父や母をののしる者は死刑に処せられる』とあります。 5-6 ところが、どうでしょう。あなたがたは、両親が困っていようと何だろうと、『このお金は神にささげました』と言いさえすれば、もう両親のためにそのお金を使わなくてもよいと教えています。つまり、人間の作った規則を盾にとって、両親を敬い、そのめんどうをみなさいという神の戒めを破っているのです。 7 まさに偽善者です。イザヤが預言したとおりです。
8 『彼らは口先ではわたしを敬うが、
心はわたしから遠く離れている。
9 彼らがわたしを拝んでも、むだなことだ。
神のおきての代わりに、
人間の規則を教えているのだから。』（イザヤ29・13）」
10 それからイエスは、群衆を呼び寄せて言われました。「いいですか、よく聞きなさい。 11 禁じられている物を食べたからといって、それで汚れるわけではありません。人を汚すのは、口から出ることばであり、心の思いなのです。」
12 その時、弟子たちが来て言いました。「先生があんなことをおっしゃったので、パリサイ人たちはかんかんに怒っています。」
13 しかし、イエスは言われました。「わたしの父がお植えにならなかった木は、みな根こそぎ抜かれてしまいます。 14 だから、あの人たちのことは放っておきなさい。彼らは盲目なのです。おまけに、ほかの盲人の手引きまでして、結局、二人とも溝に落ちてしまうでしょう。」
15 すると、ペテロが尋ねました。「きよくないとされている物を食べても汚れない、と先生がおっしゃるのは、どうしてですか。」
16 イエスは言われました。「そんなことがわからないのですか。 17 口から入る物は何でも腹に入って、外へ出てしまいます。 18 ところが、悪いことばは悪い心から出てくるので、人を汚すのです。 19 つまり、悪い考え、殺人、姦淫、不品行、盗み、うそ、また悪口などは、心から出て、 20 人を汚すのです。しかし、食事の前に手を洗うという規則を破ったからといって汚れるわけではありません。」
21 イエスはその地方を去り、ツロとシドンに向かわれました。
数々の奇跡
22 この地方に住んでいるカナン人の女がイエスのところに来て、必死に願いました。「主よ。ダビデ王の子よ！お願いです。どうか、私をあわれと思ってお助けください。娘が悪霊に取りつかれて、ひどく苦しんでいるのです。」
23 しかし、イエスは堅く口を閉ざして、ひとこともお答えになりません。とうとう弟子たちが、「あの女に早く帰るように言ってください。うるさくてしかたがありません」と頼みました。
24 それでイエスは、「わたしが遣わされたのは、外国人を助けるためではありません。ユダヤ人を助けるためです」と説明なさいました。
25 それでも女は、イエスの前にひれ伏し、「主よ。どうかお助けください」と願い続けました。
26 イエスは、「子どもたちのパンを取り上げて、犬に投げてやるのはよくないことです」と言われました。
27 しかし、女はあきらめませんでした。「おっしゃるとおりです。でも、食卓の下にいる小犬でも、落ちたパンくずぐらいは食べさせてもらえます。」
28 そのことばにイエスは感心し、「あなたの信仰は見上げたものです。いいでしょう。願いをかなえてあげましょう」と言われました。その時から、彼女の娘は治りました。
29 さて、再びガリラヤ湖に移ります。イエスは丘に登り、腰をおろしておられました。 30 そこへ、大ぜいの人が、足の不自由な者、盲人、体の不自由な者、口のきけない者をはじめ、たくさんの病人を連れて来たので、イエスはその人たちをいやされました。 31 なんという驚くべき光景でしょう。口のきけなかった者が興奮して話しだし、歩けなかった者が歩きだし、盲人が見えるようになったのです。人々は驚き、心からイスラエルの神をほめたたえました。
32 イエスは、弟子たちを呼び寄せて言われました。「この人たちがかわいそうです。もう三日もわたしといっしょにいて、食べ物はとっくになくなっています。このまま帰らせたら、きっと途中で倒れてしまうでしょう。」
33 「でも、こんな寂しい所で、これほどたくさんの人です……。それだけの食べ物を、いったいどこで手に入れるのですか。」
34 「今、手もとにどれぐらい食べ物がありますか」「パンが七つと、小さい魚がほんの少しだけです。」
35 それを聞くと、イエスはみんなを地べたに座らせました。 36 そして、七つのパンと魚を取り、神に感謝をささげてからそれを裂き、弟子たちに渡して、一人一人に配らせました。 37-38 女性や子どもを除いても、四千人もの群衆でしたが、だれもが満腹するほど食べました。あとでパンくずを拾い集めると、なんと七つのかごがいっぱいになりました。
39 そこで、イエスは人々を家に帰し、舟に乗ってマガダン地方へ向かわれました。

That Which Defiles(A)
15 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!”(B)
3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’[a](C) and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[b](D) 5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ 6 they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:
8 “‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
9 They worship me in vain;
their teachings are merely human rules.(E)’[c](F)”
10 Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. 11 What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them,(G) but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”(H)
12 Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”
13 He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted(I) will be pulled up by the roots. 14 Leave them; they are blind guides.[d](J) If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”(K)
15 Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”(L)
16 “Are you still so dull?”(M) Jesus asked them. 17 “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart,(N) and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.(O) 20 These are what defile a person;(P) but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
The Faith of a Canaanite Woman(Q)
21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.(R) 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David,(S) have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”(T)
23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”(U)
25 The woman came and knelt before him.(V) “Lord, help me!” she said.
26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith!(W) Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.
Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand(X)(Y)(Z)
29 Jesus left there and went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on a mountainside and sat down. 30 Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them.(AA) 31 The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.(AB)
32 Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion for these people;(AC) they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way.”
33 His disciples answered, “Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?”
34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.
“Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”
35 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. 36 Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them(AD) and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the people. 37 They all ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.(AE) 38 The number of those who ate was four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 After Jesus had sent the crowd away, he got into the boat and went to the vicinity of Magadan.

Matthew 15
King James Version
15 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:
31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.
38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
