1 Chronicles 19
1 After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.
И бысть по сих, умре Наас царь сынов Аммоних, и воцарися Амам сын его вместо его.
2 David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him.
И рече Давид: сотворю милость со Ананом сыном Наасовым, якоже сотвори отец его милость со мною. И посла Давид послы на утешение ему о отце его. И приидоша отроцы Давидовы в землю сынов Аммоних ко Анану, да утешат его.
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honours your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?”
И рекоша началницы сынов Аммоних ко Анану: еда прославляя Давид отца твоего пред тобою, посла к тебе утешители? Никако: но да испытают град и соглядают землю, приидоша к тебе отроцы его.
4 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away.
И взя Анан рабов Давидовых, и обри их, и отреза от риз их половину даже до чресл, и отпусти их.
5 Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
И приидоша возвестити Давиду о мужех: и посла во сретение им, яко быша обезчещени зело. И рече царь: седите во Иерихоне, дондеже возрастут брады вашя, и возвратитеся.
6 When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.
И видеша сынове Аммони, яко посрамлени быша людие Давидовы, и посла Анан и сынове Аммони тысящу талант сребра, да наймут себе от Сирии Месопотамски, и от Сирии Мааха, и от Сувы колесницы и конники:
7 So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people, who came and encamped near Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
и наяша себе тридесять две тысящы колесниц и царя Мааха и людий его: и приидоша и ополчишася прямо Мидаве: и сынове Аммони собрашася от градов своих и приидоша на брань.
8 When David heard of it, he sent Joab with all the army of the mighty men.
И услыша Давид, и посла Иоава и все воинство сильных.
9 The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city; and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
И изыдоша сынове Аммони и ополчишася на брань при вратех градских: царие же пришедшии ополчишася особно на поли.
10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose some of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
И виде Иоав, яко бысть на него противное лице брани сопреди и созади, и избра от всех юнош Израилевых и устрои их противу Сира,
11 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
и останок людий даде в руце брату своему Авессе, и ополчишася противу сынов Аммоних.
12 He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
И рече: аще укрепится Сир паче мене, то будеши мне во спасение: аще же сынове Аммони укрепятся паче тебе, то аз спасу тя:
13 Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to him.”
мужайся, и укрепимся о людех наших и о градех Бога нашего, и Господь, еже благо пред очима его, сотворит.
14 So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
И ополчися Иоав и вси людие, иже с ним, противу Сирян на брань, и побегоша от них.
15 When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
Сынове же Аммони видеша, яко побегоша Сиряне, и побегоша и они от лица Авессы и от лица Иоава брата его, и внидоша во град: Иоав же возвратися во Иерусалим.
16 When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and called out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer leading them.
И виде Сир, яко победи его Израиль, и посла послы: и изведоша Сира, иже бе за рекою, Софак же первоначалник тысящником силы Адраазаровы пред ними.
17 David was told that, so he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, came to them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
И возвещено бысть Давиду, и собра весь Израиль, и прейде Иордан, и прииде на них, и ополчися противу их: и ополчися Давид противу Сира на брань и воева нань.
18 The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrian men seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand footmen, and also killed Shophach the captain of the army.
И убеже Сир от лица Израилева, и уби Давид от Сира седмь тысящ колесниц и четыредесять тысящ пешцев, и Софака первоначалника силы уби.
19 When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. The Syrians would not help the children of Ammon any more.
И видеша раби Адраазаровы, яко падоша от лица Израилева, и прибегоша к Давиду, и служаху ему: и не восхоте Сир помогати сыном Аммоним ктому.
