2 Samuel 2
Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial
1Depois disso, Davi consultou o SENHOR, dizendo: “Devo subir a alguma das cidades de Judá?” O SENHOR lhe disse: “Suba.” Davi perguntou: “Para onde devo subir?” Ele respondeu: “Para Hebrom.”
2Então Davi subiu para lá com suas duas esposas, Ainoã, a jezreelita, e Abigail, a viúva de Nabal, o carmelita.
3Davi fez subir os homens que estavam com ele, cada homem com a sua família. Eles habitaram nas cidades de Hebrom.
4Os homens de Judá vieram, e ali ungiram Davi rei sobre a casa de Judá. Disseram a Davi: “Foram os homens de Jabes-Gileade que sepultaram Saul.”
5Davi enviou mensageiros aos homens de Jabes-Gileade, e lhes disse: “Que o SENHOR os abençoe, porque vocês demonstraram esta bondade para com o seu senhor, Saul, e o sepultaram.
6Agora, que o SENHOR demonstre amor leal e fidelidade a vocês. Eu também os recompensarei por esta bondade, porque vocês fizeram isso.
7Agora, portanto, que as suas mãos sejam fortes, e sejam valentes; pois Saul, o seu senhor, está morto, e a casa de Judá me ungiu rei sobre eles.”
8Ora, Abner, filho de Ner, comandante do exército de Saul, havia tomado Isbosete, filho de Saul, e o levado para Maanaim.
9Ele o fez rei sobre Gileade, sobre os assuritas, sobre Jezreel, sobre Efraim, sobre Benjamim e sobre todo o Israel.
10Isbosete, filho de Saul, tinha quarenta anos de idade quando começou a reinar sobre Israel, e reinou por dois anos. Mas a casa de Judá seguiu Davi.
11O tempo em que Davi foi rei em Hebrom sobre a casa de Judá foi de sete anos e seis meses.
12Abner, filho de Ner, e os servos de Isbosete, filho de Saul, saíram de Maanaim para Gibeom.
13Joabe, filho de Zeruia, e os servos de Davi saíram e se encontraram com eles junto ao açude de Gibeom; e sentaram-se, uns de um lado do açude e os outros do outro lado.
14Abner disse a Joabe: “Por favor, que os jovens se levantem e compitam diante de nós!” Joabe disse: “Que eles se levantem!”
15Então eles se levantaram e foram contados: doze por Benjamim e por Isbosete, filho de Saul, e doze dos servos de Davi.
16Cada um agarrou seu oponente pela cabeça e cravou a espada no lado do seu companheiro; e assim caíram juntos. Por isso, aquele lugar em Gibeom foi chamado de Helcate-Hazurim.
17A batalha foi muito severa naquele dia; e Abner e os homens de Israel foram derrotados pelos servos de Davi.
18Os três filhos de Zeruia estavam ali: Joabe, Abisai e Asael. Asael era tão ligeiro dos pés quanto uma gazela selvagem.
19Asael perseguiu Abner. Ele não se desviou nem para a direita nem para a esquerda ao seguir Abner.
20Então Abner olhou para trás e disse: “É você, Asael?” Ele respondeu: “Sou eu.”
21Abner lhe disse: “Desvie-se para a sua direita ou para a sua esquerda, agarre um dos jovens e tome as armas dele.” Mas Asael não quis se desviar da sua perseguição.
22Abner disse novamente a Asael: “Pare de me seguir. Por que eu deveria derrubá-lo no chão? Como então eu poderia olhar o seu irmão Joabe no rosto?”
23No entanto, ele se recusou a se desviar. Por isso Abner o feriu no estômago com a extremidade traseira da lança, de modo que a lança saiu por trás dele; e ele caiu ali mesmo e morreu no mesmo lugar. Todos os que chegavam ao lugar onde Asael havia caído e morrido ficavam parados.
24Mas Joabe e Abisai perseguiram Abner. O sol se pôs quando eles chegaram à colina de Amá, que fica defronte de Gia, pelo caminho do deserto de Gibeom.
25Os filhos de Benjamim se reuniram atrás de Abner, formando um só grupo, e pararam no topo de uma colina.
26Então Abner gritou para Joabe e disse: “A espada devorará para sempre? Você não sabe que isso trará amargura no fim? Quanto tempo vai demorar até que você ordene ao povo que pare de perseguir seus irmãos?”
27Joabe disse: “Tão certo como Deus vive, se você não tivesse falado, com certeza somente pela manhã o povo teria ido embora, e cada um deixaria de seguir o seu irmão.”
28Então Joabe tocou a trombeta; e todo o povo ficou parado, e não perseguiram mais Israel, nem lutaram mais.
29Abner e seus homens marcharam toda aquela noite pela Arabá; eles atravessaram o Jordão, passaram por todo o Bitrom e chegaram a Maanaim.
30Joabe voltou de perseguir Abner; e quando ele reuniu todo o povo, faltavam dezenove dos homens de Davi, além de Asael.
31Mas os servos de Davi haviam ferido de Benjamim e dos homens de Abner trezentos e sessenta homens, que morreram.
32Eles pegaram Asael e o sepultaram no túmulo de seu pai, que ficava em Belém. Joabe e seus homens marcharam a noite toda, e o dia amanheceu quando chegaram a Hebrom.
Reina-Valera 1909
1DESPUÉS de esto aconteció que David consultó á Jehová, diciendo: ¿Subiré á alguna de las ciudades de Judá? Y Jehová le respondió: Sube. Y David tornó á decir: ¿A dónde subiré? Y él le dijo: A Hebrón.
2Y David subió allá, y con él sus dos mujeres, Ahinoam Jezreelita y Abigail, la que fué mujer de Nabal del Carmelo.
3Y llevó también David consigo los hombres que con él habían estado, cada uno con su familia; los cuales moraron en las ciudades de Hebrón.
4Y vinieron los varones de Judá, y ungieron allí á David por rey sobre la casa de Judá. Y dieron aviso á David, diciendo: Los de Jabes de Galaad son los que sepultaron á Saúl.
5Y envió David mensajeros á los de Jabes de Galaad, diciéndoles: Benditos seáis vosotros de Jehová, que habéis hecho esta misericordia con vuestro señor Saúl en haberle dado sepultura.
6Ahora pues, Jehová haga con vosotros misericordia y verdad; y yo también os haré bien por esto que habéis hecho.
7Esfuércense pues ahora vuestras manos, y sed valientes; pues que muerto Saúl vuestro señor, los de la casa de Judá me han ungido por rey sobre ellos.
8Mas Abner hijo de Ner, general de ejército de Saúl, tomó á Is-boseth hijo de Saúl, é hízolo pasar al real:
9Y alzólo por rey sobre Galaad, y sobre Gessuri, y sobre Jezreel, y sobre Ephraim, y sobre Benjamín, y sobre todo Israel.
10De cuarenta años era Is-boseth hijo de Saúl, cuando comenzó á reinar sobre Israel; y reinó dos años. Sola la casa de Judá seguía á David.
11Y fué el número de los días que David reinó en Hebrón sobre la casa de Judá, siete años y seis meses.
12Y Abner hijo de Ner salió de Mahanaim á Gabaón con los siervos de Is-boseth hijo de Saúl.
13Y Joab hijo de Sarvia, y los siervos de David, salieron y encontráronlos junto al estanque de Gabaón: y como se juntaron, paráronse los unos de la una parte del estanque, y los otros de la otra.
14Y dijo Abner á Joab: Levántense ahora los mancebos, y maniobren delante de nosotros. Y Joab respondió: Levántense.
15Entonces se levantaron, y en número de doce, pasaron de Benjamín de la parte de Is-boseth hijo de Saúl; y doce de los siervos de David.
16Y cada uno echó mano de la cabeza de su compañero, y metióle su espada por el costado, cayendo así á una; por lo que fué llamado aquel lugar, Helcath-assurim, el cual está en Gabaón.
17Y hubo aquel día una batalla muy recia, y Abner y los hombres de Israel fueron vencidos de los siervos de David.
18Y estaban allí los tres hijos de Sarvia: Joab, y Abisai, y Asael. Este Asael era suelto de pies como un corzo del campo.
19El cual Asael siguió á Abner, yendo tras de él sin apartarse á diestra ni á siniestra.
20Y Abner miró atrás, y dijo: ¿No eres tú Asael? Y él respondió: Sí.
21Entonces Abner le dijo: Apártate á la derecha ó á la izquierda, y agárrate alguno de los mancebos, y toma para ti sus despojos. Pero Asael no quiso apartarse de en pos de él.
22Y Abner tornó á decir á Asael: Apártate de en pos de mí, porque te heriré derribándote en tierra, y después ¿cómo levantaré mi rostro á tu hermano Joab?
23Y no queriendo él irse, hiriólo Abner con el regatón de la lanza por la quinta costilla, y salióle la lanza por las espaldas, y cayó allí, y murió en aquel mismo sitio. Y todos los que venían por aquel lugar donde Asael había caído y estaba muerto, se paraban.
24Mas Joab y Abisai siguieron á Abner; y púsoseles el sol cuando llegaron al collado de Amma, que está delante de Gía, junto al camino del desierto de Gabaón.
25Y juntáronse los hijos de Benjamín en un escuadrón con Abner, y paráronse en la cumbre del collado.
26Y Abner dió voces á Joab, diciendo: ¿Consumirá la espada perpetuamente? ¿no sabes tú que al cabo se sigue amargura? ¿hasta cuándo no has de decir al pueblo que se vuelvan de seguir á sus hermanos?
27Y Joab respondió: Vive Dios que si no hubieras hablado, ya desde esta mañana el pueblo hubiera dejado de seguir á sus hermanos.
28Entonces Joab tocó el cuerno, y todo el pueblo se detuvo, y no siguió más á los de Israel, ni peleó más.
29Y Abner y los suyos caminaron por la campiña toda aquella noche, y pasando el Jordán cruzaron por todo Bitrón, y llegaron á Mahanaim.
30Joab también volvió de seguir á Abner, y juntando todo el pueblo, faltaron de los siervos de David diecinueve hombres, y Asael.
31Mas los siervos de David hirieron de los de Benjamín y de los de Abner, trescientos y sesenta hombres, que murieron. Tomaron luego á Asael, y sepultáronlo en el sepulcro de su padre en Beth-lehem.
32Y caminaron toda aquella noche Joab y los suyos, y amanecióles en Hebrón.
King James Version
1And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
2So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal’s wife the Carmelite.
3And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
4And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabesh-gilead were they that buried Saul.
5And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
6And now the LORD shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.
7Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
8But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s host, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
9And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
10Ish-bosheth Saul’s son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
11And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
12And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
14And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
15Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
16And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
17And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
18And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
19And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
20Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am.
21And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.
22And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
23Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
24Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
25And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.
26Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?
27And Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
28So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
29And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
30And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David’s servants nineteen men and Asahel.
31But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner’s men, so that three hundred and threescore men died.
32And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
World English Bible
1After this, David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?” The LORD said to him, “Go up.” David said, “Where shall I go up?” He said, “To Hebron.”
2So David went up there with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
3David brought up his men who were with him, every man with his household. They lived in the cities of Hebron.
4The men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. They told David, “The men of Jabesh Gilead were those who buried Saul.”
5David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, “Blessed are you by the LORD, that you have shown this kindness to your lord, even to Saul, and have buried him.
6Now may the LORD show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing.
7Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.”
8Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s army, had taken Ishbosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim.
9He made him king over Gilead, over the Ashurites, over Jezreel, over Ephraim, over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
10Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
11The time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
12Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13Joab the son of Zeruiah and David’s servants went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool and the other on the other side of the pool.
14Abner said to Joab, “Please let the young men arise and compete before us!” Joab said, “Let them arise!”
15Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of David’s servants.
16They each caught his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim.
17The battle was very severe that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before David’s servants.
18The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Asahel was as light of foot as a wild gazelle.
19Asahel pursued Abner. He didn’t turn to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.
20Then Abner looked behind him and said, “Is that you, Asahel?” He answered, “It is.”
21Abner said to him, “Turn away to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor.” But Asahel would not turn away from following him.
22Abner said again to Asahel, “Turn away from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I look Joab your brother in the face?”
23However, he refused to turn away. Therefore Abner with the back end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there and died in the same place. As many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
24But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner. The sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
25The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill.
26Then Abner called to Joab, and said, “Shall the sword devour forever? Don’t you know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long will it be then, before you ask the people to return from following their brothers?”
27Joab said, “As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone away, and not each followed his brother.”
28So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stood still and pursued Israel no more, and they fought no more.
29Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and came to Mahanaim.
30Joab returned from following Abner; and when he had gathered all the people together, nineteen men of David’s and Asahel were missing.
31But David’s servants had struck Benjamin Abner’s men so that three hundred sixty men died.
32They took up Asahel and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
