3 І була довга та війна між домом Сауловим та між домом Давидовим. А Давид усе зміцнювався, а Саулів дім усе слабнув.
2 І в Хевроні народилися Давидові сини, і був його первісток Амнон, від їзреелітки Ахіноам;
3 а другий син його Кіл'ав від Авіґаїл, колишньої жінки кармелянина Навала; а третій Авесалом, син Маахи, дочки Талмая, царя ґешурського;
4 а четвертий Адонійя, син Хаґґіт, а п'ятий Шефатія, син Авітал,
5 а шостий Їтреам, від Еґли, Давидової жінки, оці народилися Давидові в Хевроні.
6 І сталося, коли була війна між домом Сауловим та домом Давидовим, то Авнер тримався Саулового дому.
7 І мав Саул наложницю, а ім'я їй Ріцпа, дочка Айї. І сказав Іш-Бошет до Авнера: Чого ти прийшов до наложниці батька мого?
8 І дуже запалився Авнерові гнів на слова Іш-Бошетові, і він сказав: Чи я псяча юдська голова? Сьогодні я роблю ласку домові твого батька Саула, його братам та його приятелям, і не віддав тебе в Давидову руку, а ти сьогодні згадав на мені гріх цієї жінки?
9 Нехай так зробить Бог Авнерові, і нехай ще додасть йому, якщо я не зроблю Давидові так, як Господь присягнув був йому,
10 щоб перенести царство від Саулового дому, і щоб поставити Давидів трон над Ізраїлем та над Юдою від Дану й аж до Беер-Шеви.
11 І той не міг уже відповідати Авнерові ані слова, бо боявся його.
12 І послав Авнер замість себе послів до Давида сказати: Чия це земля? І ще сказати: Склади ж свою умову зо мною, і ось рука моя буде з тобою, щоб привернути до тебе всього Ізраїля.
13 А Давид відказав: Добре, я складу з тобою умову! Тільки однієї речі я жадаю від тебе, а саме: ти не побачиш обличчя мого, якщо ти не приведеш Мелхи, Саулової дочки, коли ти прийдеш побачити мене.
14 І послав Давид послів до Іш-Бошета, Саулового сина, говорячи: Віддай жінку мою Мелху, яку я заручив був собі за сотню крайніх плотів филистимських.
15 І послав Іш-Бошет, і взяв її від її чоловіка, від Палтіїла, сина Лаїша.
16 І пішов з нею чоловік її, і все плакав за нею аж до Бахуріму. І сказав до нього Авнер: Іди, вернися! І той вернувся.
17 А Авнерове слово з Ізраїлевими старшими було таке: Ви вже давно бажаєте мати Давида царем над собою.
18 А тепер зробіть це, бо Господь сказав був до Давида, говорячи: Рукою Мого раба Давида Я спасу народ Мій, Ізраїля, від руки филистимлян та від руки всіх ворогів його.
19 І говорив Авнер також до ушей Веніяминових. І також пішов Авнер говорити до ушей Давидових у Хевроні, усе, що добре в очах Ізраїля та в очах усього дому Веніяминового.
20 І прийшов Авнер до Давида до Хеврону, а з ним двадцятеро люда. І Давид зробив прийняття Авнерові та людям, що з ним.
21 І сказав Авнер до Давида: Нехай я встану й піду, і приведу до пана, царя мого, усього Ізраїля, а вони складуть із тобою умову, і ти будеш царювати над усім, чого буде жадати душа твоя. І відпустив Давид Авнера, і він пішов із миром.
22 Аж ось прийшли слуги Давидові та Йоав із походу, і принесли з собою велику здобич. А Авнера не було з Давидом у Хевроні, бо він відпустив його, і той пішов із миром.
23 А Йоав та все військо, що було з ним, прийшли. І розповіли Йоаву, говорячи: Приходив Авнер, син Нерів, до царя, а він відпустив його, і той пішов із миром.
24 І прийшов Йоав до царя та й сказав: Що ти зробив? Ось приходив до тебе Авнер, нащо ти відпустив його, і він відійшов?
25 Ти знаєш Авнера, Нерового сина, він приходив, щоб намовити тебе та щоб вивідати твій вихід та вхід твій, і щоб вивідати все, що ти робиш.
26 І вийшов Йоав від Давида, і послав посланців за Авнером, і вони завернули його з Бор-Гассіри, а Давид про те не знав.
27 І вернувся Авнер до Хеврону, а Йоав відвів його в середину брами, щоб поговорити з ним таємно, та й ударив його там у живіт, і той помер за кров брата його Асаїла.
28 А потім почув про це Давид і сказав: Невинний я та царство моє перед Господом аж навіки в крові Авнера, Нерового сина.
29 Нехай вона спаде на голову Йоава та на ввесь дім його батька! І нехай не перестає в Йоавовому домі течивий, і прокажений, і той, хто опирається на кия, і хто падає від меча, і хто не має хліба!
30 А Йоав та брат його Авішай убили Авнера за те, що він забив їхнього брата Асаїла в Ґів'оні в бою.
31 І сказав Давид до Йоава та до всього народу, що був з ним: Роздеріть вашу одежу, і опережіться веретищем, та й голосіть за Авнером! А цар Давид ішов за марами.
32 І поховали Авнера в Хевроні, а цар підніс свій голос та й плакав над Авнеровим гробом, і плакав увесь народ.
33 І заспівав цар жалобну пісню над Авнером та й сказав: Чи Авнер мав загинути смертю негідного?
34 Твої руки були не пов'язані, не забиті були твої ноги в кайдани, ти впав, як від неправедних падають! І ввесь народ ще більше плакав над ним.
35 І прийшов увесь народ, щоб намовити Давида покріпитися хлібом ще того дня, та присягнув Давид, говорячи: Нехай так зробить мені Бог, і нехай ще додасть, якщо я перед заходом сонця скуштую хліба або чогобудь!
36 А ввесь народ довідався про це, і це було добре в їхніх очах, як і все, що робив цар, було добре в очах усього народу.
37 І того дня довідалися ввесь народ та ввесь Ізраїль, що то не було від царя, щоб забити Авнера, сина Нерового.
38 І сказав цар своїм слугам: Ото ж знайте, що вождь та великий муж упав цього дня!
39 А я сьогодні слабий, хоч помазаний цар, а ті люди, сини Церуї, сильніші від мене. Нехай відплатить Господь злочинцеві за його зло!

Joab Kills Abner
3 Now there was a long (A)war between the house of Saul and the house of David. But David grew stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.
Sons of David
2 Sons were born (B)to David in Hebron: His firstborn was Amnon (C)by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; 3 his second, [a]Chileab, by Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite; the third, (D)Absalom the son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king (E)of Geshur; 4 the fourth, (F)Adonijah the son of Haggith; the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital; 5 and the sixth, Ithream, by David’s wife Eglah. These were born to David in Hebron.
Abner Joins Forces with David
6 Now it was so, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner was strengthening his hold on the house of Saul.
7 And Saul had a concubine, whose name was (G)Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. So Ishbosheth said to Abner, “Why have you (H)gone in to my father’s concubine?”
8 Then Abner became very angry at the words of Ishbosheth, and said, “Am I (I)a dog’s head that belongs to Judah? Today I show loyalty to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David; and you charge me today with a fault concerning this woman? 9 (J)May God do so to Abner, and more also, if I do not do for David (K)as the Lord has sworn to him— 10 to transfer the kingdom from the [b]house of Saul, and set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, (L)from Dan to Beersheba.” 11 And he could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him.
12 Then Abner sent messengers on his behalf to David, saying, “Whose is the land?” saying also, “Make your covenant with me, and indeed my hand shall be with you to bring all Israel to you.”
13 And David said, “Good, I will make a covenant with you. But one thing I require of you: (M)you shall not see my face unless you first bring (N)Michal, Saul’s daughter, when you come to see my face.” 14 So David sent messengers to (O)Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, saying, “Give me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself (P)for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.” 15 And Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband, from [c]Paltiel the son of Laish. 16 Then her husband went along with her to (Q)Bahurim, [d]weeping behind her. So Abner said to him, “Go, return!” And he returned.
17 Now Abner had communicated with the elders of Israel, saying, “In time past you were seeking for David to be king over you. 18 Now then, do it! (R)For the Lord has spoken of David, saying, ‘By the hand of My servant David, [e]I will save My people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and the hand of all their enemies.’ ” 19 And Abner also spoke in the hearing of (S)Benjamin. Then Abner also went to speak in the hearing of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel and the whole house of Benjamin.
20 So Abner and twenty men with him came to David at Hebron. And David made a feast for Abner and the men who were with him. 21 Then Abner said to David, “I will arise and go, and (T)gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may (U)reign over all that your heart desires.” So David sent Abner away, and he went in peace.
Joab Murders Abner
22 At that moment the servants of David and Joab came from a raid and brought much [f]spoil with them. But Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace. 23 When Joab and all the troops that were with him had come, they told Joab, saying, “Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he sent him away, and he has gone in peace.” 24 Then Joab came to the king and said, “What have you done? Look, Abner came to you; why is it that you sent him away, and he has already gone? 25 Surely you realize that Abner the son of Ner came to deceive you, to know (V)your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you are doing.”
26 And when Joab had gone from David’s presence, he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him back from the well of Sirah. But David did not know it. 27 Now when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab (W)took him aside in the gate to speak with him privately, and there [g]stabbed him (X)in the stomach, so that he died for the blood of (Y)Asahel his brother.
28 Afterward, when David heard it, he said, “My kingdom and I are [h]guiltless before the Lord forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner. 29 (Z)Let it rest on the head of Joab and on all his father’s house; and let there never fail to be in the [i]house of Joab one (AA)who has a discharge or is a leper, who leans on a staff or falls by the sword, or who lacks bread.” 30 So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother (AB)Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
David’s Mourning for Abner
31 Then David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, (AC)“Tear your clothes, (AD)gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn for Abner.” And King David followed the coffin. 32 So 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 sang a lament over Abner and said:
“Should Abner die as a (AE)fool dies?
34 Your hands were not bound
Nor your feet put into fetters;
As a man falls before wicked men, so you fell.”
Then all the people wept over him again.
35 And when all the people came (AF)to persuade David to eat food while it was still day, David took an oath, saying, (AG)“God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread or anything else (AH)till the sun goes down!” 36 Now all the people took note of it, and it pleased them, since whatever the king did pleased all the people. 37 For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it had not been the king’s intent to kill Abner the son of Ner. 38 Then the king said to his servants, “Do you not know that a prince and a great man has fallen this day in Israel? 39 And I am weak today, though anointed king; and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, (AI)are too harsh for me. (AJ)The Lord shall repay the evildoer according to his wickedness.”

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)

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!”
