< 2 Samuel 4 >

1 Now when Ishbaal, Saul's son, heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was troubled.
И слыша Иевосфей сын Сауль, яко умре Авенир сын Ниров в Хевроне, и ослабеша руце его, и вси мужие Израилевы изнемогоша.
2 And Ishbaal, Saul's son, had two men who were captains of bands; the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the people of Benjamin (for Beeroth was regarded as belonging to the people of Benjamin;
И два мужа старейшины полков Иевосфеа сына Сауля: имя единому Ваана и имя другому Рихав, сынове Реммона Вирофейскаго от сынов Вениаминих: яко Вироф вменяшеся в сынех Вениаминих.
3 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until this day).
И отбегоша Вирофее в Гефем, и беша тамо живуще до днешняго дне.
4 Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son whose feet were crippled. He was five years old when the news came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel, and his nurse took him up and fled. And it happened as she was hurrying to get away that he fell and was injured. And his name was Mippibaal.
И Ионафану сыну Саулю сын бе хром ногама, сын пяти лет: и той, егда прииде возвещение о Сауле и Ионафане сыне его от Иезраеля, и взят его пестунница его, и бежа: и бысть тщащейся ей на отшествие, и паде, и охроме, имя же ему Мемфивосфей.
5 The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbaal, as he took his rest at noon.
И поидоста сынове Реммона Вирофейскаго, Рихав и Ваана, и внидоста во время зноя дневнаго в дом Иевосфеов, и той почиваше на одре в полудне:
6 And look, the doorkeeper of the house had been sifting wheat, and she became drowsy and fell asleep. And Rechab and his brother Baanah slipped by.
и се, вратник дому очищаше пшеницу и воздрема и спаше, Рихав же и Ваана братия утаившася внидоста в дом:
7 And they went into the house where he was lying on his bed in his bedchamber. And they struck him and killed him, and beheaded him. And they took his head and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
Иевосфей же почиваше на одре своем в ложнице своей: и биста его, и умертвиста его, и отяста главу его, и взяста главу его, и отидоста путем иже на запад всю нощь:
8 They brought the head of Ishbaal to David at Hebron, and said to the king, "Look, the head of Ishbaal, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life. Jehovah has avenged my lord the king this day of Saul and his descendants."
и принесоста главу Иевосфеову к Давиду в Хеврон и реста к царю: се, глава Иевосфеа сына Саулова врага твоего, иже искаше души твоея, и даде Господь господину нашему царю отмщение врагов его, якоже день сей, от Саула врага твоего и от семене его.
9 David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, "As Jehovah lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
И отвеща Давид Рихаву и Ваане брату его, сыном Реммона Вирофейскаго, и рече има: жив Господь, иже избави душу мою от всякия скорби:
10 when someone told me, 'Look, Saul is dead,' thinking to have brought good news, I took hold of him, and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.
ибо возвестивый мне, яко умре Саул и Ионафан, и той бяше аки благовествуяй предо мною, и ях его и убих его в Секелазе, емуже должен бех дати дар:
11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, shall I not now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?"
и ныне мужие лукавии убиша мужа праведна в дому его на одре его, и ныне взыщу крове его от руки вашея и искореню вас от земли.
12 David commanded his young men, and they killed them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbaal, and buried it in the grave of Abner in Hebron.
И заповеда Давид отроком своим, и убиша их, и отсекоша руце их и нозе их, и повесиша их над источником в Хевроне, и главу Иевосфеову погребоша во гробе Авенира сына Нирова (в Хевроне).
