2 Samuel (2 Kings) 17
Commentary from 4 fathers
and I will come upon him when he [is] weary and weak-handed, and I will strike him with terror; and all the people with him shall flee, and I will smite the king only of all.
καὶ ἐπελεύσομαι ἐπ’ αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς κοπιῶν καὶ ἐκλελυμένος χερσί, καὶ ἐκστήσω αὐτόν, καὶ φεύξεται πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πατάξω τὸν βασιλέα μονώτατον·
и҆ найдꙋ̀ на него̀, и҆ то́й ᲂу҆трꙋжде́нъ и҆ ѡ҆сла́бленъ рꙋка́ми, и҆ ᲂу҆страшꙋ̀ є҆го̀, и҆ побѣжа́тъ всѝ лю́дїе и҆̀же съ ни́мъ, и҆ ᲂу҆бїю̀ царѧ̀ є҆ди́наго:
And I will bring back all the people to thee, as a bride returns to her husband: only thou seekest the life of one man, and all the people shall have peace.
καὶ ἐπιστρέψω πάντα τὸν λαὸν πρός σε, ὃν τρόπον ἐπιστρέφει ἡ νύμφη πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς· πλὴν ψυχὴν ἀνδρὸς ἑνὸς σὺ ζητεῖς καὶ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ ἔσται εἰρήνη.
и҆ возвращꙋ̀ всѧ̑ лю́ди къ тебѣ̀, и҆́мже ѡ҆́бразомъ ѡ҆браща́етсѧ невѣ́ста къ мꙋ́жеви своемꙋ̀: ты́ бо то́кмѡ дꙋшѝ є҆ди́нагѡ мꙋ́жа и҆́щеши, всѣ̑мъ же лю́демъ бꙋ́детъ ми́ръ.
And the saying [was] right in the eyes of Abessalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
καὶ εὐθὴς ὁ λόγος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ καὶ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς πάντων τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ᾿Ισραήλ·
И҆ ᲂу҆го́дно сло́во бы́сть пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма а҆вессалѡ́млима и҆ пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма всѣ́хъ старѣ́йшинъ і҆и҃левыхъ.
And Abessalom said, Call now also Chusi the Arachite, and let us hear what [is] in his mouth, even in his also.
καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ· καλέσατε δὴ καί γε τὸν Χουσὶ τὸν ᾿Αραχί, καὶ ἀκούσωμεν τί ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ καί γε αὐτοῦ.
И҆ речѐ а҆вессалѡ́мъ: призови́те же и҆ хꙋсі́а а҆рахі́ина, и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шимъ что̀ и҆з̾ ᲂу҆́стъ є҆гѡ̀.
And Chusi went in to Abessalom, and Abessalom spoke to him, saying, After this manner spoke Achitophel: shall we do according to his word? but if not, do thou speak.
καὶ εἰσῆλθε Χουσὶ πρὸς ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ· καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων· κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο ἐλάλησεν ᾿Αχιτόφελ· εἰ ποιήσομεν κατὰ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ; εἰ δὲ μή, σὺ λάλησον·
И҆ вни́де хꙋсі́й ко а҆вессалѡ́мꙋ, и҆ речѐ а҆вессалѡ́мъ къ немꙋ̀, глаго́лѧ: по глаго́лꙋ семꙋ̀ глаго́ла а҆хїтофе́лъ: сотвори́мъ ли по словесѝ є҆гѡ̀; а҆́ще же нѝ, ты̀ глаго́ли.
And Chusi said to Abessalom, This counsel which Achitophel has counseled this one time [is] not good.
καὶ εἶπε Χουσὶ πρὸς ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ· οὐκ ἀγαθὴ αὕτη ἡ βουλή, ἣν ἐβουλεύσατο ᾿Αχιτόφελ τὸ ἅπαξ τοῦτο.
И҆ речѐ хꙋсі́й ко а҆вессалѡ́мꙋ: не бла́гъ совѣ́тъ се́й, є҆го́же совѣща̀ а҆хїтофе́лъ є҆ди́ною сїѐ.
And Chusi said, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are very mighty, and bitter in their spirit, as a bereaved bear in the field, [and as a wild boar in the plain]: and thy father [is] a man of war, and will not give the people rest.
καὶ εἶπε Χουσί· σὺ οἶδας τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ, ὅτι δυνατοί εἰσι σφόδρα καὶ κατάπικροι τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτῶν, ὡς ἄρκος ἠτεκνωμένη ἐν ἀγρῷ καὶ ὡς ὗς τραχεῖα ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ, καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ἀνὴρ πολεμιστὴς καὶ οὐ μὴ καταλύσῃ τὸν λαόν·
И҆ речѐ хꙋсі́й: ты̀ вѣ́си ѻ҆тца̀ твоего̀ и҆ мꙋже́й є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ си́льни сꙋ́ть ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ гнѣвли́ви дꙋша́ми свои́ми, ꙗ҆́кѡ медвѣ́дица ча̑дъ лише́наѧ на селѣ̀, и҆ а҆́ки ве́прь свирѣ́пый на по́ли: и҆ ѻ҆те́цъ тво́й мꙋ́жъ боре́цъ, и҆ не да́стъ почи́ти лю́демъ:
For, behold, he is now hidden in one of the hills or in some [other] place: and it shall come to pass when he falls upon them at the beginning, that [some one] will certainly hear, and say, There has been a slaughter among the people that follow after Abessalom.
ἰδοὺ γὰρ αὐτὸς νῦν κέκρυπται ἐν ἑνὶ τῶν βουνῶν ἢ ἐν ἑνὶ τῶν τόπων, καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ ἐπιπεσεῖν αὐτοῖς ἐν ἀρχῇ καὶ ἀκούσῃ ὁ ἀκούων καὶ εἴπῃ· ἐγενήθη θραῦσις ἐν τῷ λαῷ τῷ ὀπίσω ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ,
се́ бо, то́й нн҃ѣ скры́сѧ на нѣ́которѣмъ хо́лмѣ и҆лѝ на нѣ́которѣмъ мѣ́стѣ: и҆ бꙋ́детъ внегда̀ напа́сти на ни́хъ въ нача́лѣ, и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шитъ слꙋ́шаѧй, и҆ рече́тъ: бы́сть сокрꙋше́нїе въ лю́дехъ и҆̀же за а҆вессалѡ́момъ:
Then even he [that is] strong, whose heart is as the heart of a lion,-- it shall utterly melt: for all Israel knows that thy father [is] mighty, and they that are with him [are] mighty men.
καί γε αὐτὸς υἱὸς δυνάμεως, οὗ ἡ καρδία καθὼς ἡ καρδία τοῦ λέοντος, τηκομένη τακήσεται, ὅτι οἶδε πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ ὅτι δυνατὸς ὁ πατήρ σου καὶ υἱοὶ δυνάμεως οἱ μετ’ αὐτοῦ.
и҆ то́й сы́нъ си́лы, є҆мꙋ́же се́рдце ꙗ҆́коже се́рдце львꙋ̀ та́ѧщо и҆ста́етъ: поне́же вѣ́сть ве́сь і҆и҃ль, ꙗ҆́кѡ си́ленъ ѻ҆те́цъ тво́й, и҆ сы́нове си́лы всѝ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ:
For thus I have surely given counsel, that all Israel be generally gathered to thee from Dan even to Bersabee, as the sand that is upon the sea-shore for multitude: and that thy presence go in the midst of them.
ὅτι οὕτως συμβουλεύων ἐγὼ συνεβούλευσα, καὶ συναγόμενος συναχθήσεται ἐπὶ σὲ πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀπὸ Δὰν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεὲ ὡς ἡ ἄμμος ἡ ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης εἰς πλῆθος, καὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου πορευόμενον ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν,
та́кѡ совѣ́тꙋѧ а҆́зъ ᲂу҆совѣ́товахъ, и҆ собира́ѧсѧ собере́тсѧ къ тебѣ̀ ве́сь і҆и҃ль ѿ да́на и҆ до вирсаві́и, а҆́ки песо́къ и҆́же при мо́ри во мно́жествѣ, и҆ лицѐ твоѐ и҆дꙋ́щее посредѣ̀ и҆́хъ:
And we will come upon him in one of the places where we shall find him, and we will encamp against him, as the dew falls upon the earth; and we will not leave of him and of his men so much as one.
καὶ ἥξομεν πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰς ἕνα τῶν τόπων, οὗ ἐὰν εὕρωμεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ, καὶ παρεμβαλοῦμεν ἐπ’ αὐτόν, ὡς πίπτει δρόσος ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ οὐχ ὑπολειψόμεθα ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ τοῖς ἀνδράσι τοῖς μετ’ αὐτοῦ καί γε ἕνα·
и҆ прїи́демъ къ немꙋ̀ на є҆ди́но мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же ѡ҆брѧ́щемъ є҆го̀ та́мѡ, и҆ ѡ҆полчи́мсѧ на него̀, ꙗ҆́коже спа́даетъ роса̀ на зе́млю, и҆ не ѡ҆ста́вимъ въ не́мъ и҆ въ мꙋже́хъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ ни є҆ди́нагѡ:
And if he shall have taken refuge with his army in a city, then shall all Israel take ropes to that city, and we will draw it even into the river, that there may not be left there even a stone.
καὶ ἐὰν εἰς τὴν πόλιν συναχθῇ, καὶ λήψεται πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς τὴν πόλιν ἐκείνην σχοινία καὶ συροῦμεν αὐτὴν ἕως εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν, ὅπως μὴ καταλειφθῇ ἐκεῖ μηδὲ λίθος.
и҆ а҆́ще во гра́дъ соберꙋ́тсѧ, и҆ во́зметъ ве́сь і҆и҃ль ко гра́дꙋ томꙋ̀ ᲂу҆́жы, и҆ совлече́мъ є҆го̀ въ пото́къ, до́ндеже не ѡ҆ста́нетсѧ та́мѡ нижѐ ка́мень.
And Abessalom, and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Chusi the Arachite [is] better than the counsel of Achitophel. For the Lord ordained to disconcert the good counsel of Achitophel, that the Lord might bring all evil upon Abessalom.
καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ ᾿Ισραήλ· ἀγαθὴ ἡ βουλὴ Χουσὶ τοῦ ᾿Αραχὶ ὑπὲρ τὴν βουλὴν ᾿Αχιτόφελ· καὶ Κύριος ἐνετείλατο διασκεδάσαι τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ ᾿Αχιτόφελ τὴν ἀγαθήν, ὅπως ἂν ἐπαγάγῃ Κύριος ἐπὶ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ τὰ κακὰ πάντα.
И҆ речѐ а҆вессалѡ́мъ и҆ всѝ мꙋ́жїе і҆и҃льтестїи: бла́гъ совѣ́тъ хꙋсі́а а҆рахі́ина па́че совѣ́та а҆хїтофе́лева. И҆ гдⷭ҇ь заповѣ́да разори́ти совѣ́тъ а҆хїтофе́левъ благі́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ да наведе́тъ гдⷭ҇ь на а҆вессалѡ́ма ѕла̑ѧ всѧ̑.
Accordingly, as the Scripture says, “And by the command of the Lord the good counsel of Ahithophel was defeated, that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom.” The counsel of Ahithophel was called “good” because it served his purpose for the time, since it favored Absalom over his father whom he had risen up against in rebellion. And it might well have destroyed him if the Lord had not frustrated Ahithophel’s counsel by influencing the heart of Absalom to reject this counsel and to choose another which was not to his advantage.
On Grace and Free Will 20.41
For what shall we say about Hushai’s pious deception of Absalom for the sake of King David’s safety which, although formulated with good will by the deceiver and cheater and opposed to the well-being of the questioner, is approved by the text of divine Scripture that says, “By the will of the Lord the useful advice of Ahithophel was undone, so that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom”? For what was accomplished with a right intention and pious judgment for a good purpose and conceived for the safety and religious victory of a man whose piety was pleasing to God, all by way of deception, could not be blamed.
Conference 17.19.5
And Chusi the Arachite said to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus Achitophel counseled Abessalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counseled.
καὶ εἶπε Χουσὶ ὁ τοῦ ᾿Αραχὶ πρὸς Σαδὼκ καὶ ᾿Αβιάθαρ τοὺς ἱερεῖς· οὕτως καὶ οὕτως συνεβούλευσεν ᾿Αχιτόφελ τῷ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ οὕτως καὶ οὕτως συνεβούλευσα ἐγώ.
И҆ речѐ хꙋсі́й а҆рахі́инъ ко садѡ́кꙋ и҆ а҆вїаѳа́рꙋ і҆ере́ємъ: та́кѡ и҆ та́кѡ совѣ́това а҆хїтофе́лъ а҆вессалѡ́мꙋ и҆ старѣ́йшинамъ і҆и҃лєвымъ: и҆ а҆́зъ та́кѡ и҆ та́кѡ совѣ́товахъ:
15–16For in the history, Hushai is mentioned as the chief companion of David and the son of Arachi, but in the psalm, Hushai is the son of Jemini. Neither he nor any other of those appearing in the history was the son of Jemini. Perhaps he was called the son of Jemini for this reason, because he displayed great valor and strength through a mere pretense of friendship, going over, as he pretended, to Absalom, but in reality thwarting the plans of Ahithophel, a very skilled man, well trained in military affairs, who was giving his counsel. “The son of Jemini” is interpreted “the son of the right hand.” By his proposals he prevented the acceptance of the plan of Ahithophel—that no time should intervene in the affairs but that an attack should be made immediately on the father while he was unprepared—“in order that,” as Scripture says, “the Lord might bring all evils upon Absalom.” At all events, he seemed to them to introduce more plausible reasons for postponement and delay, while his real purpose was to give time to David to gather his forces. Because of Hushai’s counsel he was acceptable to Absalom, who said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.”However, Hushai informed David through the priests Zadok and Abiathar of the decision and bade him not to camp in Araboth in the desert but urged him to cross it. Since, then, he was on the right hand of David through his good advice, he obtained the name from his brave deed. Surely it is because of this that he is called “son of Jemini,” that is, “son of the right hand.” It is a custom of Scripture not only to give those who are more wicked a name from their sin rather than from their fathers but also to call the better sons from the virtue characterizing them.
Homilies on the Psalms 7.1
And now send quickly and report to David, saying, Lodge not this night in Araboth of the wilderness: even go and make haste, lest [one] swallow up the king, and all the people with him.
καὶ νῦν ἀποστείλατε ταχὺ καὶ ἀναγγείλατε τῷ Δαυὶδ λέγοντες· μὴ αὐλισθῇς τὴν νύκτα ἐν ᾿Αραβὼθ τῆς ἐρήμου καί γε διαβαίνων σπεῦσον, μή ποτε καταπείσῃ τὸν βασιλέα καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τὸν μετ’ αὐτοῦ.
и҆ нн҃ѣ посли́те ско́рѡ и҆ возвѣсти́те даві́дꙋ, глаго́люще: не пребꙋ́ди но́щь сїю̀ во а҆равѡ́ѳѣ пꙋсты́ни, но пойтѝ потщи́сѧ, да не ка́кѡ поже́ртъ бꙋ́детъ ца́рь и҆ всѝ лю́дїе и҆̀же съ ни́мъ.
And Jonathan and Achimaas stood by the well of Rogel, and a maid-servant went and reported to them, and they go and tell king David; for they might not be seen to enter into the city.
καὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν καὶ ᾿Αχιμάας εἱστήκεισαν ἐν τῇ πηγῇ Ῥωγήλ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἡ παιδίσκη καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ αὐτοὶ πορεύονται καὶ ἀναγγέλλουσι τῷ βασιλεῖ Δαυίδ, ὅτι οὐκ ἠδύναντο ὀφθῆναι τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν πόλιν.
И҆ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ и҆ а҆хїмаа́съ стоѧ́ста на стꙋденцѣ̀ рѡги́ли, и҆ и҆́де рабы́нѧ и҆ повѣ́да и҆́ма: и҆ ті́и и҆до́ста и҆ возвѣсти́ста даві́дꙋ царю̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ не мого́ста ꙗ҆ви́тисѧ є҆́же вни́ти во гра́дъ.
But a young man saw them and told Abessalom: and the two went quickly, and entered into the house of a man in Baurim; and he had a well in his court, and they went down into it.
καὶ εἶδεν αὐτοὺς παιδάριον καὶ ἀνήγγειλε τῷ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ δύο ταχέως καὶ εἰσῆλθαν εἰς οἰκίαν ἀνδρὸς ἐν Βαουρίμ, καὶ αὐτῷ λάκκος ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ, καὶ κατέβησαν ἐκεῖ.
И҆ ви́дѣ и҆̀хъ ѻ҆́трочищь и҆ повѣ́да а҆вессалѡ́мꙋ. И҆ и҆до́ста ѻ҆́ба ско́рѡ и҆ прїидо́ста въ до́мъ мꙋ́жа въ ваꙋрі́мъ: и҆ томꙋ̀ ро́въ на дворѣ̀, и҆ снидо́ста та́мѡ.
And a woman took a covering, and spread it over the mouth of the well, and spread out ground corn upon it to dry, and the thing was not known.
καὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ γυνὴ καὶ διεπέτασε τὸ ἐπικάλυμμα ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ λάκκου καὶ ἔψυξεν ἐπ’ αὐτῷ ἀραφώθ, καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώσθη ρῆμα.
И҆ взѧ̀ жена̀, и҆ положѝ покро́въ на ᲂу҆́стїи ро́ва, и҆ сꙋшѝ на не́мъ а҆рафѡ́ѳъ {сѣ́мена}, и҆ не позна́сѧ глаго́лъ.
19–20And what shall we say about the deed of the woman who received those who had been sent to King David by the aforementioned Hushai and who hid them in a well, spreading a cover over the mouth of it and making believe that she was drying barley? “They went on,” she said, “after having drunk a little water,” and by this trick she saved them from the hands of their pursuers. Tell me, then, I ask you, what you would have done if a similar situation had arisen for you who now live under the gospel. Would you have chosen to conceal them by a similar lie, saying in the same way, “They went on after having drunk a little water,” thus fulfilling what is commanded, “Do not spare [your help] to save those who are being led to death and to redeem those who are being slain” Or by speaking the truth would you have given over those who were hidden to those who were going to kill them? What, then, of the apostle’s words? “Let no one seek what is [to] his own [benefit] but rather [to] what is another’s.” And, “Love does not seek what is its own but rather what belongs to others.” And what he says about himself, “I do not seek what is beneficial to me but what is beneficial to the many, so that they may be saved.” For if we seek what is ours and wish to hold on obstinately to what is beneficial to us, we shall have to speak the truth even in difficulties of this sort, and we shall become guilty of another’s death. But if we fulfill the apostolic command by placing what is helpful to others ahead of our own well-being, without a doubt the necessity of lying will be imposed upon us.
Conference 17.19.6-7
And the servants of Abessalom came to the woman into the house, and said, Where [are] Achimaas and Jonathan? and the woman said to them, They are gone a little way beyond the water. And they sought and found them not, and returned to Jerusalem.
καὶ ἦλθαν οἱ παῖδες ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ εἶπαν· ποῦ ᾿Αχιμάας καὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἡ γυνή· παρῆλθαν μικρὸν τοῦ ὕδατος, καὶ ἐζήτησαν καὶ οὐχ εὗραν καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.
И҆ прїидо́ша ѻ҆́троцы а҆вессалѡ̑мли къ женѣ̀ въ до́мъ и҆ рѣ́ша: гдѣ̀ а҆хїмаа́съ и҆ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ; И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ жена̀: преидо́ста вма́лѣ во́дꙋ. И҆ и҆ска́ша, и҆ не ѡ҆брѣто́ша, и҆ возврати́шасѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ.
And it came to pass after they were gone, that they came up out of the pit, and went on their way; and reported to king David, and said to David, Arise ye and go quickly over the water, for thus has Achitophel counseled concerning you.
ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ ἀπελθεῖν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Δαυὶδ καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Δαυίδ· ἀνάστητε καὶ διάβητε ταχέως τὸ ὕδωρ, ὅτι οὕτως ἐβουλεύσατο περὶ ὑμῶν ᾿Αχιτόφελ.
Бы́сть же по ѿше́ствїи и҆́хъ, и҆ и҆злѣзо́ста и҆з̾ ро́ва, и҆ и҆до́ста, и҆ возвѣсти́ста даві́дꙋ царю̀ и҆ глаго́ласта є҆мꙋ̀: воста́ните, и҆ прейди́те ско́рѡ во́дꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ си́це совѣща̀ на вы̀ а҆хїтофе́лъ.
And David rose up and all the people with him, and they passed over Jordan till the morning light; there was not one missing who did not pass over Jordan.
καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ διέβησαν τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην ἕως τοῦ φωτὸς τοῦ πρωΐ, ἕως ἑνὸς οὐκ ἔλαθεν ὃς οὐ διῆλθε τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην.
И҆ воста̀ даві́дъ и҆ всѝ лю́дїе и҆̀же съ ни́мъ и҆ преидо́ша і҆ѻрда́нъ до свѣ́та заꙋ́тра, и҆ ни є҆ди́нъ не ѡ҆ста̀, и҆́же бы не преше́лъ і҆ѻрда́на.
And Achitophel saw that his counsel was not followed, and he saddled his ass, and rose and departed to his house into his city; and he gave orders to his household, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
καὶ ᾿Αχιτόφελ εἶδεν ὅτι οὐκ ἐγενήθη ἡ βουλὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέσαξε τὴν ὄνον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν πόλιν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐνετείλατο τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπήγξατο καὶ ἀπέθανε καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν τῷ τάφῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.
И҆ а҆хїтофе́лъ ви́дѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не сбы́стсѧ совѣ́тъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ѡ҆сѣдла̀ ѻ҆слѧ̀ своѐ, и҆ воста̀, и҆ ѿи́де въ до́мъ сво́й, во гра́дъ сво́й: и҆ заповѣ́да до́мꙋ своемꙋ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆дави́сѧ, и҆ ᲂу҆́мре, и҆ погребе́нъ бы́сть во гро́бѣ ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀.
And David passed over to Manaim: and Abessalom crossed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
καὶ Δαυὶδ διῆλθεν εἰς Μαναΐμ, καὶ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ διέβη τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ ᾿Ισραὴλ μετ’ αὐτοῦ.
И҆ даві́дъ пре́йде въ манаі́мъ, а҆вессалѡ́мъ же пре́йде і҆ѻрда́нъ са́мъ и҆ всѝ мꙋ́жїе і҆и҃льтестїи съ ни́мъ.
And Abessalom appointed Amessai in the room of Joab over the host. And Amessai was the son of a man whose name was Iothor of Israel: he went in to Abigaia the daughter of Naas, the sister of Saruia the mother of Joab.
καὶ τὸν ᾿Αμεσσαΐ κατέστησεν ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ ἀντὶ ᾿Ιωὰβ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως· καὶ ᾿Αμεσσαΐ υἱὸς ἀνδρὸς καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ ᾿Ιοθὸρ ὁ ᾿Ισραηλίτης, οὗτος εἰσῆλθε πρὸς ᾿Αβιγαίαν θυγατέρα Νάας ἀδελφὴν Σαρουΐας μητρὸς ᾿Ιωάβ.
И҆ а҆месса́ѧ поста́ви а҆вессалѡ́мъ вмѣ́стѡ і҆ѡа́ва над̾ си́лою: а҆месса́й же сы́нъ мꙋ́жа, є҆мꙋ́же и҆́мѧ і҆еѳе́ръ і҆езраилі́тинъ, се́й вни́де ко а҆вїге́и дще́ри і҆ессе́инѣ, сестрѣ̀ сарꙋі́и ма́тере і҆ѡа́вли.
And all Israel and Abessalom encamped in the land of Galaad.
καὶ παρενέβαλε πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ εἰς τὴν γῆν Γαλαάδ.
И҆ ѡ҆полчи́сѧ а҆вессалѡ́мъ и҆ ве́сь і҆и҃ль въ землѝ галаа́дстѣй.
And it came to pass when David came to Manaim, that Uesbi the son of Naas of Rabbath of the sons of Ammon, and Machir son of Amiel of Lodabar, and Berzelli the Galaadite of Rogellim,
καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἦλθε Δαυὶδ εἰς Μαναΐμ, καὶ Οὐεσβὶ υἱὸς Νάας ἐκ Ῥαββὰθ υἱῶν ᾿Αμμὼν καὶ Μαχὶρ υἱὸς ᾿Αμιὴλ ἐκ Λωδαβὰρ καὶ Βερζελλὶ ὁ Γαλααδίτης ἐκ Ῥωγελλὶμ
И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ вни́де даві́дъ въ манаі́мъ, и҆ ᲂу҆есві́й сы́нъ наа́совъ ѿ равва́ѳа сынѡ́въ а҆ммѡ́нихъ, и҆ махі́ръ сы́нъ а҆мїи́ль и҆́же и҆з̾ лѡдава́ра, и҆ верзеллі́й галааді́тинъ и҆з̾ рѡгеллі́ма,
brought ten embroidered beds, (with double coverings,) and ten caldrons, and earthenware, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and meal, and beans, and pulse,
ἤνεγκαν δέκα κοίτας καὶ ἀμφιτάπους καὶ λέβητας δέκα καὶ σκεύη κεράμου καὶ πυροὺς καὶ κριθὰς καὶ ἄλευρον καὶ ἄλφιτον καὶ κύαμον καὶ φακὸν
принесо́ша де́сѧть постє́ль ᲂу҆стро́еныхъ и҆ коно́бѡвъ де́сѧть и҆ сосꙋ́ды скꙋдє́льны и҆ пшени́цꙋ и҆ ꙗ҆чме́нь и҆ мꙋкꙋ̀ и҆ пшено̀ и҆ бо́бъ и҆ сочеви́цꙋ
and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheeses of kine: and they brought them to David and to his people with him to eat; for [one] said, The people [is] faint and hungry and thirsty in the wilderness.
καὶ μέλι καὶ βούτυρον καὶ πρόβατα καὶ σαφφὼθ βοῶν καὶ προσήνεγκαν τῷ Δαυὶδ καὶ τῷ λαῷ τῷ μετ’ αὐτοῦ φαγεῖν, ὅτι εἶπαν· ὁ λαὸς πεινῶν καὶ ἐκλελυμένος καὶ διψῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.
