صموئيل الثاني 3

الكتاب المقدس

1 وَطَالَتِ الْحَرْبُ بَيْنَ بَيْتِ شَاوُلَ وَبَيْتِ دَاوُدَ، وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ يَزْدَادُ قُوَّةً وَبْيتُ شَاوُلَ يَتَفَاقَمُ ضَعْفاً. 

2 وَأَنْجَبَ دَاوُدُ بَنِينَ فِي حَبْرُونَ، كَانَ أَكْبَرُهُمْ أَمْنُونَ مِنْ أَخِينُوعَمَ الْيَزْرَعِيلِيَّةِ. 

3 وَالثَّانِي كِيلآبُ مِنْ أَبِيجَايِلَ أَرْمَلَةِ نَابَالَ الْكَرْمَلِيِّ، وَالثَّالِثُ أَبْشَالُومُ ابْنُ مَعْكَةَ بِنْتِ تَلْمَايَ مَلِكِ جَشُورَ، 

4 وَالَّرابِعُ أَدُونِيَّا بْنُ حَجِّيثَ، وَالْخَامِسُ شَفْطِيَّا بْنُ أَبِيطَالَ، 

5 وَالسَّادِسُ يَثْرَعَامُ ابْنُ عَجْلَةَ امْرَأَةِ دَاوُدَ. 

6 وَفِي غُضُونِ الْحَرْبِ الَّتِي نَشَبَتْ بَيْنَ بَيْتِ شاوُلَ وَبَيْتِ دَاوُدَ قَوِيَ نُفُوذُ أَبْنَيْرَ فِي أَوْسَاطِ بَيْتِ شَاوُلَ. 

7 وَكَانَ لِشَاوُلَ مَحْظِيَّةٌ اسْمُهَا رِصْفَةُ بِنْتُ أَيَّةَ، فَقَالَ إِيشْبُوشَثُ لأَبْنَيْرَ: «لِمَاذَا ضَاجَعْتَ مَحْظِيَّةَ أَبِي؟» 

مصالحة داود وأبنير

8 فَاسْتَشَاطَ أَبْنَيْرُ غَيْظاً مِنْ كَلامِ إِيشْبُوشَثَ، وَقَالَ لَهُ: «هَلْ أَنَا رَأْسُ كَلْبٍ لِيَهُوذَا! إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَأَنَا أَبْذِلُ وَلائِي فِي سَبِيلِ بَيْتِ شَاوُلَ وَإِخْوَتِهِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ، وَلَمْ أُسَلِّمْكَ لِيَدِ دَاوُدَ، والآنَ تَتَّهِمُنِي بِانْتِهَاكِ عِرْضِ الْمَرْأَةِ؟ 

9 لِيُعَاقِبِ الرَّبُّ أَبْنَيْرَ أَشَّدَ عِقَابٍ إِنْ لَمْ أُنَاصِرْ دَاوُدَ كَمَا وَعَدَه الرَّبُّ 

10 أَنْ يَنْقُلَ الْمَمْلَكَةَ مِنْ بَيْتِ شَاوُلَ وَيُوَلِّيَهُ عَلَى عَرْشِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا مِنْ دَانَ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ». 

11 فَلَمْ يَنْبَسْ إِيشْبُوشَثُ بِحَرْفٍ خَوْفاً مِنْ أَبْنَيْرَ. 

12 وَبَعَثَ أَبْنَيْرُ عَلَى الْفَوْرِ رُسُلاً إِلَى دَاوُدَ قَاِئلاً: «مَنْ هُوَ صَاحِبُ الْبِلادِ؟ أَبْرِمْ مَعِي مِيثَاقاً فَأُناصِرَكَ بِضَمِّ جَمِيعِ أَسْباطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَيْكَ». 

13 فَأَجَابَهُ دَاوُدُ: «حَسَناً، أَنَا أُبْرِمُ مَعَكَ مِيثَاقاً، إِلّا أَنَّنِي أَشْتَرِطُ عَلَيْكَ أَمْراً وَاحِداً، هُوَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ أَوَّلاً بِمِيكَالَ بِنْتِ شَاوُلَ حِينَ تَأْتِي لِمُقَابَلَتِي، وَإلَّا فَلَنْ تَرَى وَجْهِي». 

14 وَبَعَثَ دَاوُدُ رُسُلاً إِلَى إيشْبُوشَثَ بْنِ شَاوُلَ قَائِلاً: «أَعْطِنِي امْرَأَتِي مِيكَالَ الَّتِي خَطَبْتُهَا بِمِئَةٍ مِنْ غُلَفِ الْفِلسْطِينِيِّينَ». 

15 فَأَرْسَلَ إِيشْبُوشَثُ وَأَخَذَهَا مِنْ عِنْدِ رَجُلِهَا فَلْطِيئِيلَ بْنِ لايِشَ. 

16 فَرَاحَ رَجُلُهَا يَسِيرُ مَعَهَا بَاكِياً وَرَاءَهَا حَتَّى مَدِينَةِ بَحُورِيمَ، إِلَى أَنْ أَمَرَهُ أَبْنَيْرُ: «امْضِ. ارْجِعْ». فَرَجَعَ. 

17 وَقَالَ أَبْنَيْرُ لِشُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «مُنْذُ زَمَنٍ وَأَنْتُمْ تُطَالِبُونَ أَنْ يَكُونَ دَاوُدُ عَلَيْكُمْ مَلِكاً. 

18 فَالآنَ افْعَلُوا، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ وَعَدَ دَاوُدَ قَائِلاً: بِقِيَادَةِ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي أُنْقِذُ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَمِنْ سَاِئرِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ». 

19 ثُمَّ تَدَاوَلَ أَبْنَيْرُ الأَمْرَ مَعَ شُيُوخِ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى حَبْرُونَ لِيُبَلِّغَ دَاوُدَ مَا تَمَّ الاتِّفَاقُ عَلَيْهِ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ رُؤُسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. 

20 وَجَاءَ أَبْنَيْرُ إِلَى دَاوُدَ فِي حَبْرُونَ بِصُحْبَةِ عِشْرِينَ رَجُلاً، فَأَقَامَ دَاوُدُ مَأْدُبَةً لَهُمْ، 

21 ثُمَّ قَالَ ابْنَيْرُ لِدَاوُدَ: «دَعْنِي أَذْهَبُ عَلَى الْفَوْرِ لأَجْمَعَ لِسَيِّدِي الْمَلِكِ جَمِيعَ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيُبَايِعُوكَ مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَتَحَقَّقَ مَا تَصْبُو إِلَيْهِ». فَشَيَّعَهُ دَاوُدُ وَمَضَى بِسَلامٍ. 

يوآب يقتل أبنير

22 وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ وَصَلَ يُوآبُ مَعَ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ قَادِمِينَ مِنْ غَزْوَةٍ أَصَابُوا فِيهَا غَنِيمَةً عَظِيمَةً. وكَانَ أَبْنَيْرُ آنَئِذٍ قَدْ غَادَرَ حَبْرُونَ بَعْدَ أنْ شَيَّعَهُ دَاوُدُ بِسَلامٍ. 

23 فَقِيلَ لِيُوآبَ: «قَدْ وَفَدَ أَبْنَيْرُ بْنُ نَيْرٍ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ، فَأَطْلَقَهُ الْمَلِكُ مُشَيَّعاً بِالسَّلامَةِ». 

24 فَمَثُلَ يُوآبُ فِي حَضْرَةِ الْمَلِكِ وَقَالَ: «مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ؟ لَقَدْ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْكَ أَبْنَيْرُ، فَلِمَاذَا تَرَكْتَهُ يَمْضِي بِسَلامٍ؟ 

25 أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ أَبْنَيْرَ بْنَ نَيْرَ لَمْ يَأْتِ إِلّا لِيَتَمَلَّقَكَ وَيَتَجَسَّسَ عَلَيْكَ وَيَطَّلِعَ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا تَصْنَعُ». 

26 ثُمَّ خَرَجَ يُوآبُ مِنْ لَدُنِ دَاوُدَ وَأَرْسَلَ رُسُلاً وَرَاءَ أَبْنَيْرَ فَرَدُّوهُ مِنْ بِئْرِ السِّيرَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلْمِ دَاوُدَ. 

27 وَعِنْدَمَا رَجَعَ أَبْنَيْرُ إِلَى حَبْرُونَ انْتَحَى بِهِ يُوآبُ جَانِباً عِنْدَ مُنْتَصَفِ بَوَّابَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَأَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُسِرَّ إِلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ، وَطَعَنَهُ فِي بَطْنِهِ فَمَاتَ انْتِقَاماً لِدَمِ عَسَائِيلَ. 

28 وَمَا إِنْ عَلِمَ دَاوُدُ بِذَلِكَ حَتَّى قَالَ: «بَرِيءٌ أَنَا وَمَمْلَكَتِي أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ مِنْ دَمِ أَبْنَيْرَ بْنِ نَيْرٍ. 

29 وَلْيَنْصَبَّ دَمُهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ يُوآبَ وَعَلَى كُلِّ بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ، وَلا يَنْقَطِعُ مِنْ بَيْتِ يُوآبَ مُصَابٌ بِالسَّيَلانِ وَبِالْبَرَصِ وَبِالْعَرَجِ، وَصَرِيعٌ بِالسَّيْفِ وَمُفْتَقِرٌ إِلَى الْخُبْزِ». 

30 وَهَكَذَا قَتَلَ يُوآبُ وَأَبِيشَايُ أَخُوهُ أَبْنَيْرَ ثَأْراً لِسَفْكِهِ دَمِ عَسَائِيلَ أَخِيهِمَا فِي جِبْعُونَ فِي الْحَرْبِ. 

31 وَأَمَرَ دَاوُدُ يُوآبَ وَسَائِرَ الشَّعْبِ الَّذِي مَعَهُ قَاِئلاً: «مَزِّقُوا ثِيَابَكُمْ وَارْتَدُوا الْمُسُوحَ، وَالْطِمُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ نَوْحاً عَلَى أَبْنَيْرَ». وَكَانَ دَاوُدُ الْمَلِكُ يَمْشِي خَلْفَ النَّعْشِ. 

32 وَتَمَّ دَفْنُ أَبْنَيْرَ فِي حَبْرُونَ، وَنَاحَ الْمَلِكُ بِصَوْتٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ عَلَى قَبْرِ أَبْنَيْرَ وَبَكَاهُ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ. 

33 وَرَثَا الْمَلِكُ أَبْنَيْرَ قَائِلاً: «أَهَكَذَا يَمُوتُ أَبْنَيْرُ كَمَوْتِ أَحْمَقَ؟ 

34 يَدَاكَ لَمْ تَكُونَا مَغْلُولَتَيْنِ، وَرِجْلاكَ لَمْ تَكُونَا مُصَفَّدَتَيْنِ بِسَلاسِلِ النُّحَاسِ. مُتَّ كَمَنْ يَصْرَعُهُ الأَشْرَارُ». وَعَادَ جَمِيعُ الشَّعبِ يَنْدُبُونَهُ مِنْ جَدِيدٍ. 

35 وَعِنْدَمَا جَاءَ مَنْ يُقَدِّمُ لِدَاوُدَ طَعَاماً فِي أَثْنَاءِ النَّهَارِ، أَقْسَمَ دَاوُدُ قَائِلاً: «لِيُعَاقِبْنِي الرَّبُّ أَشَدَّ عِقَابٍ وَيَزِدْ، إِنْ كُنْتُ أَذُوقُ خُبْزاً أَوْ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ آخَرَ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ». 

36 فَذَاعَ الأَمْرُ بَيْنَ الشَّعْبِ وَحَظِيَ دَاوُدُ بِرِضَاهُمْ مِثْلَمَا حَظِيَ بِرِضَاهُمْ بِمَآثِرِهِ السَّابِقَةِ. 

37 وَأَدْرَكَ كُلُّ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِلْمَلِكِ يَدٌ فِي مَقْتَلِ أَبْنَيْرَ بْنِ نَيْرٍ. 

38 وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِحَاشِيَتِهِ: «أَلا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ قَائِداً وَرَجُلاً عَظِيماً قَدْ سَقَطَ الْيَوْمَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ 

39 وَهَا أَنَا، عَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ أَنَّنِي الْمَلِكُ الْمَمْسُوحُ، فَإِنَّنِي أَضْعَفُ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ صُرُوِيَّةَ؟ إنَّهُمْ أَقْوَى مِنِّي. لِيُجَازِ الرَّبُّ مُرْتَكِبَ الشَّرِّ بِمُوْجِبِ شَرِّهِ».

صموئيل الثاني 3

English Standard Version

Abner Joins David

1 There was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. And David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul became weaker and weaker. 

2 And sons were born to David at Hebron: his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam of Jezreel; (1صم 25:42; 1أخ 3:1) 

3 and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; (1صم 27:8; 2صم 3:2; 2صم 13:37; 2صم 14:32; 2صم 15:8) 

4 and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital; (1مل 1:5) 

5 and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David’s wife. These were born to David in Hebron. 

6 While there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner was making himself strong in the house of Saul. 

7 Now Saul had a concubine whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ish-bosheth said to Abner, “Why have you gone in to my father’s concubine?” (2صم 16:21; 2صم 21:8) 

8 Then Abner was very angry over the words of Ish-bosheth and said, “Am I a dog’s head of Judah? To this day I keep showing steadfast love to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not given you into the hand of David. And yet you charge me today with a fault concerning a woman. (1صم 17:43) 

9 God do so to Abner and more also, if I do not accomplish for David what the Lord has sworn to him, (را 1:17; 1صم 15:28; 1صم 16:1; 1صم 16:12; 1صم 28:17; 2صم 3:35; 1أخ 12:23) 

10 to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.” (قض 20:1; 1صم 3:20; 2صم 17:11; 2صم 24:2; 2صم 24:15; 1مل 4:25) 

11 And Ish-bosheth could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him. 

12 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, “To whom does the land belong? Make your covenant with me, and behold, my hand shall be with you to bring over all Israel to you.” 

13 And he said, “Good; I will make a covenant with you. But one thing I require of you; that is, you shall not see my face unless you first bring Michal, Saul’s daughter, when you come to see my face.” (تك 43:3; 1صم 14:49) 

14 Then David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth, Saul’s son, saying, “Give me my wife Michal, for whom I paid the bridal price of a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.” (1صم 18:25; 1صم 18:27) 

15 And Ish-bosheth sent and took her from her husband Paltiel the son of Laish. 

16 But her husband went with her, weeping after her all the way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go, return.” And he returned. (2صم 16:5; 2صم 17:18; 2صم 19:16; 1مل 2:8) 

17 And Abner conferred with the elders of Israel, saying, “For some time past you have been seeking David as king over you. 

18 Now then bring it about, for the Lord has promised David, saying, ‘By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines, and from the hand of all their enemies.’” (2صم 3:9) 

19 Abner also spoke to Benjamin. And then Abner went to tell David at Hebron all that Israel and the whole house of Benjamin thought good to do. (1أخ 12:29) 

20 When Abner came with twenty men to David at Hebron, David made a feast for Abner and the men who were with him. 

21 And Abner said to David, “I will arise and go and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your heart desires.” So David sent Abner away, and he went in peace. (2صم 3:12; 1مل 11:37) 

22 Just then the servants of David arrived with Joab from a raid, bringing much spoil with them. But Abner was not with David at Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace. 

23 When Joab and all the army that was with him came, it was told Joab, “Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has let him go, and he has gone in peace.” 

24 Then Joab went to the king and said, “What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you. Why is it that you have sent him away, so that he is gone? 

25 You know that Abner the son of Ner came to deceive you and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you are doing.” (1صم 29:6) 

Joab Murders Abner

26 When Joab came out from David’s presence, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the cistern of Sirah. But David did not know about it. 

27 And when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him privately, and there he struck him in the stomach, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother. (2صم 2:23; 2صم 20:9; 1مل 2:5; 1مل 2:32) 

28 Afterward, when David heard of it, he said, “I and my kingdom are forever guiltless before the Lord for the blood of Abner the son of Ner. 

29 May it fall upon the head of Joab and upon all his father’s house, and may the house of Joab never be without one who has a discharge or who is leprous or who holds a spindle or who falls by the sword or who lacks bread!” (لا 14:2; لا 15:2; 2صم 1:16) 

30 So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had put their brother Asahel to death in the battle at Gibeon. (2صم 2:23) 

David Mourns Abner

31 Then David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your clothes and put on sackcloth and mourn before Abner.” And King David followed the bier. (تك 37:34; يش 7:6; 1مل 20:31) 

32 They buried Abner at 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 for Abner, saying, “Should Abner die as a fool dies? (2صم 1:17; 2صم 13:12; 2أخ 35:25; جا 2:16) 

34 Your hands were not bound; your feet were not fettered; as one falls before the wicked you have fallen.” And all the people wept again over him. 

35 Then all the people came to persuade David to eat bread while it was yet day. But David swore, saying, “God do so to me and more also, if I taste bread or anything else till the sun goes down!” (را 1:17; 2صم 1:12; 2صم 12:17) 

36 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them, as everything that the king did pleased all the people. 

37 So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it had not been the king’s will to put to death Abner the son of Ner. 

38 And 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 was gentle today, though anointed king. These men, the sons of Zeruiah, are more severe than I. The Lord repay the evildoer according to his wickedness!” (2صم 16:10; 2صم 19:22; مز 28:4; 2تي 4:14)
