| Chapitre 2 1 [Ny nanjakan'i Davida tamin'ny Joda, sy ny nanjakan'Isboseta tamin'ny Isiraely, ary ny niadian'izy roa tonta tao Gibeona] Ary rehefa afaka izany, Davida dia nanontany tamin'i Jehovah hoe: Hiakatra ho any amin'ny tanànan'ny Joda anankiray va aho? Dia hoy Jehovah taminy: Miakara. Ary hoy Davida: Any aninona no hiakarako? Dia hoy Izy: Any Hebrona. 2 Dia niakatra nankany Davida mbamin'ny vadiny roa, dia Ahinoama Jezirelita sy Abigaila, ilay novinadin'i Nabala Karmelita. 3 Ary ny olona izay tao amin'i Davida mbamin'ny ankohonan'ireo dia samy nentiny niakatra koa, ka nonina tao amin'ny tanàna momba an'i Hebrona izy ireo. 4 Ary dia avy ny lehilahy amin'ny Joda ka nanosotra an'i Davida tao mba ho mpanjaka amin'ny taranak'i Joda. Ary nisy nanambara tamin'i Davida hoe: Ny olona any Jabesi-gileada no nandevina an'i Saoly. 5 Ary Davida dia naniraka olona hankany amin'ny mponina any Jabesi-gileada hanao aminy hoe: Hotahin'i Jehovah anie ianareo noho ny soa nataonareo tamin'i Saoly tomponareo tamin'ny nandevenanareo azy. 6 Koa haneho famindram-po sy fahamarinana aminareo anie Jehovah, sady izaho koa efa manao izao soa izao aminareo noho ny nanaovanareo izany zavatra izany. 7 Ary ankehitriny, aoka hampaherezina anie ny tananareo, ary aoka hatanjaka ianareo; fa maty Saoly tomponareo, ary izaho no nohosoran'ny firenen'i Joda ho mpanjakany. 8 Fa Abnera, zanak'i Nera, komandin'ny miaramilan'i Saoly, efa naka an'Isboseta, zanakalahin'i Saoly, ka nitondra azy nankany Mahanaima, 9 dia nampanjaka azy tamin'i Gileada sy ny Asorita* sy Jezirela sy ny Efraima sy ny Benjamina ary ny Isiraely rehetra.[Na: (Gesorita)] 10 (Ary efa-polo taona no nahaveloman'Isboseta, zanak'i Saoly, fony izy vao nanjaka amin'ny Isiraely, ary roa taona no nanjakany.) Fa ny firenen'i Joda nomba an'i Davida. 11 Ary ny andro nanjakan'i Davida tao Hebrona tamin'ny taranak'i Joda dia fito taona sy enim-bolana. 12 Ary Abnera, zanak'i Nera, sy ny mpanompon'Isboseta, zanak'i Saoly, niala tao Mahanaima ka nankany Gibeona. 13 Ary Joaba, zanak'i Zeroia, sy ny mpanompon'i Davida nivoaka ka nihaona tamin'ireo teo amoron'ny kamory tao Gibeona; ary samy nipetraka teo amin'ny lafin'ny kamory avy izy. 14 Ary hoy Abnera tamin'i Joaba: Masìna ianao, aoka hitsangana ny zatovo hanao kilalao eto anatrehantsika. Ary hoy Joaba; Aoka ary izy hitsangana. 15 Dia nisy nitsangana ka nita, dia roa ambin'ny folo lahy tamin'ny Benjamina, izay an'Isboseta, zanak'i Saoly, ary roa ambin'ny folo lahy koa tamin'ny mpanompon'i Davida. 16 Ary izy rehetra samy nifanavika nifampihazon-doha ka nifandefon-tehezana tamin'ny sabatra, dia niara-nikarapoka; koa izany no nanaovana izany fitoerana ao Gibeona izany hoe Helkata-hazorima*.[Helkata-hazorima = Tamin'ny sabatra maranitra] 17 Ary mafy ny ady tamin'izany andro izany; ary dia resy teo anoloan'ny mpanompon'i Davida Abnera sy ny lehilahy amin'ny Isiraely. 18 Ary mba teo koa izy telo lahy zanak'i Zeroia, dia Joaba sy Abisay ary Asahela; ary Asahela dia haingan-tongotra tahaka ny gazela* any an-efitra.[Izahao i. and. 19] 19 Ary Asahela nanenjika an'i Abnera, ka ny fandehany nanenjika an'i Abnera dia tsy nivily akory na tamin'ny ankavanana na tamin'ny ankavia. 20 Ary Abnera niherika ka nanao hoe: Hianao moa izany, no Asahela? Dia hoy izy: Izaho ity. 21 Dia hoy Abnera taminy: Mivilia ianao, na ho amin'ny ankavanana, na ho amin'ny ankavia, ary zatovo anankiray no sambory, ka baboy ho anao izay eny aminy rehetra. Fa Asahela tsy nety nivily, fa nanenjika azy ihany. 22 Ary hoy indray Abnera tamin'i Asahela: Mivilia ianao, fa aza manenjika ahy; fa hataoko inona moa izay hamely anao hikarapoka amin'ny tany, ary hataoko ahoana no fijery an'i Joaba rahalahinao? 23 Nefa tsy nety nivily ihany izy, ka dia nasian'i Abnera ny antsedefona ny kibony, ka dia niboroaka teo an-damosiny ny lefona, ary nikarapoka teo izy ka maty niaraka tamin'izay. Ary izay rehetra tonga teo amin'ilay nikarapohan'i Asahela sy nahafatesany dia nijanona. 24 Ary Joaba sy Abisay dia nanenjika an'i Abnera; ka nony tonga teo amin'ny havoana Ama izy, izay tandrifin'i Gia amin'ny lalana mankany amin'ny efitr'i Gibeona, dia maty ny masoandro. 25 Ary ny taranak'i Benjamina niangona teo amin'i Abnera ka nifoko ho iray toko ary nijanona teo an-tampon'ny havoana anankiray. 26 Ary Abnera niantso an'i Joaba hoe: Handany mandrakizay va ny sabatra? Tsy fantatrao va fa hangidy ny hiafaran'izany? Koa mandra-pahoviana no tsy hampivereninao ny olona tsy hanenjika ny rahalahiny? 27 Ary hoy Joaba: Raha velona koa Andriamanitra, raha tsy ilay teninao*, dia efa lasa nody any naraina avokoa ny olona ka tsy nanenjika ny rahalahiny akory.[Izaho and. 14] 28 Dia nitsoka ny anjomara Joaba, ka dia nijanona ny olona rehetra, ary tsy nanenjika ny Isiraely intsony na niady taminy intsony izy. 29 Ary Abnera sy ny olony nandeha mandritra ny alina namaky ny tani-hay*, dia nita an'i Jordana sy namaky an'i Bitrona rehetra, ka dia tonga tao Mahanaima izy.[Heb. Arabà] 30 Ary rehefa niverina Joaba avy nanenjika an'i Abnera, dia novoriny ny olona rehetra, ary sivy ambin'ny folo lahy ihany mbamin'i Asahela no tsy teo ny mpanompon'i Davida. 31 Fa ny mpanompon'i Davida efa nahafaty enim-polo sy telon-jato lahy tamin'ny Benjamita sy ny olon'i Abnera. 32 Ary Asahela dia nentiny ka naleviny tao amin'ny fasan-drainy, izay tao Betlehema. Ary Joaba sy ny olony nandeha mandritra ny alina, dia tonga tao Hebrona raha vao nazava ratsy ny andro.

2:1 It happened after this, that David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?” Yahweh said to him, “Go up.” David said, “Where shall I go up?” He said, “To Hebron.” 2:2 So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. 2:3 David brought up his men who were with him, every man with his household. They lived in the cities of Hebron. 2:4 The men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. They told David, saying, “The men of Jabesh Gilead were those who buried Saul.” 2:5 David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, “Blessed are you by Yahweh, that you have shown this kindness to your lord, even to Saul, and have buried him. 2:6 Now may Yahweh show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing. 2:7 Now 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.” 2:8 Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s army, had taken Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim; 2:9 and he made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel. 2:10 Ishbosheth, 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. 2:11 The time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months. 2:12 Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon. 2:13 Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, 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. 2:14 Abner said to Joab, “Please let the young men arise and play before us!” Joab said, “Let them arise!” 2:15 Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin, and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David. 2:16 They each caught his opponent by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: therefore that place was called Helkath Hazzurim, which is in Gibeon. 2:17 The battle was very severe that day: and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David. 2:18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild gazelle. 2:19 Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he didn’t turn to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner. 2:20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, “Is it you, Asahel?” He answered, “It is I.” 2:21 Abner said to him, “Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor.” But Asahel would not turn aside from following him. 2:22 Abner said again to Asahel, “Turn aside from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then should I hold up my face to Joab your brother?” 2:23 However he refused to turn aside. 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. It happened, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still. 2:24 But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and 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. 2:25 The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill. 2:26 Then 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 shall it be then, before you ask the people to return from following their brothers?” 2:27 Joab 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.” 2:28 So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more. 2:29 Abner 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. 2:30 Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David’s servants nineteen men and Asahel. 2:31 But the servants of David had struck of Benjamin, and of Abner’s men, so that three hundred sixty men died. 2:32 They 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.
