| 22 | Just then the servants of David arrived with Joab from a raid, bringing much spoil with them. But Abner was not with David at Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace. | The murder of Abner. 2Sm.3.22-39 | וְהִנֵּה עַבְדֵי דָוִד וְיֹואָב בָּא מֵהַגְּדוּד וְשָׁלָל רָב עִםָּם הֵבִיאוּ וְאַבְנֵר אֵינֶנּוּ עִם־דָּוִד בְּחֶבְרֹון כִּי שִׁלְּחֹו וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּשָׁלֹום׃ |
| 23 | When Joab and all the army that was with him came, it was told Joab, "Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has let him go, and he has gone in peace." | וְיֹואָב וְכָל־הַצָּבָא אֲשֶׁר־אִתֹּו בָּאוּ וַיַּגִּדוּ לְיֹואָב לֵאמֹר בָּא־אַבְנֵר בֶּן־נֵר אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיְשַׁלְּחֵהוּ וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּשָׁלֹום׃ | |
| 24 | Then Joab went to the king and said, "What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you; why is it that you have sent him away, so that he is gone? | וַיָּבֹא יֹואָב אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר מֶה עָשִׂיתָה הִנֵּה־בָא אַבְנֵר אֵלֶיךָ לָמָּה־זֶּה שִׁלַּחְתֹּו וַיֵּלֶךְ הָלֹוךְ׃ | |
| 25 | You know that Abner the son of Ner came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you are doing." | יָדַעְתָּ אֶת־אַבְנֵר בֶּן־נֵר כִּי לְפַתֹּתְךָ בָּא וְלָדַעַת אֶת־מֹוצָאֲךָ וְאֶת־כ= מִבֹואֶךָ ק= מֹובָאֶךָ וְלָדַעַת אֵת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה עֹשֶׂה׃ | |
| 26 | When Joab came out from David's presence, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the cistern of Sirah; but David did not know about it. | וַיֵּצֵא יֹואָב מֵעִם דָּוִד וַיִּשְׁלַח מַלְאָכִים אַחֲרֵי אַבְנֵר וַיָּשִׁבוּ אֹתֹו מִבֹּור הַסִּרָה וְדָוִד לֹא יָדָע׃ | |
| 27 | And when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him privately, and there he smote him in the belly, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother. | וַיָּשָׁב אַבְנֵר חֶבְרֹון וַיַּטֵּהוּ יֹואָב אֶל־תֹּוךְ הַשַּׁעַר לְדַּבֵּר אִתֹּו בַּשֶּׁלִי וַיַּכֵּהוּ שָׁם הַחֹמֶשׁ וַיָּמָת בְּדַם עֲשָׂה־אֵל אָחִיו׃ | |
| 28 | Afterward, when David heard of it, he said, "I and my kingdom are for ever guiltless before Yahweh for the blood of Abner the son of Ner. | וַיִּשְׁמַע דָּוִד מֵאַחֲרֵי כֵן וַיֹּאמֶר נָקִי אָנֹכִי וּמַמְלַכְתִּי מֵעִם יְהוָה עַד־עֹולָם מִדְּמֵי אַבְנֵר בֶּן־נֵר׃ | |
| 29 | May it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father's house; and may the house of Joab never be without one who has a discharge, or who is leprous, or who holds a spindle, or who is slain by the sword, or who lacks bread!" | יָחֻלוּ עַל־רֹאשׁ יֹואָב וְאֶל כָּל־בֵּית אָבִיו וְאַל־יִכָּרֵת מִבֵּית יֹואָב זָב וּמְצֹרָע וּמַחֲזִיק בַּפֶּלֶךְ וְנֹפֵל בַּחֶרֶב וַחֲסַר־לָחֶם׃ | |
| 30 | So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon. | וְיֹואָב וַאֲבִישַׁי אָחִיו הָרְגוּ לְאַבְנֵר עַל אֲשֶׁר הֵמִית אֶת־עֲשָׂהאֵל אֲחִיהֶם בְּגִבְעֹון בַּמִּלְחָמָה׃ ף | |
| 31 | Then David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, "Rend your clothes, and gird on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner." And King David followed the bier. | וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל־יֹואָב וְאֶל־כָּל־הָעָם אֲשֶׁר־אִתֹּו קִרְעוּ בִגְדֵיכֶם וְחִגְרוּ שַׂקִּים וְסִפְדוּ לִפְנֵי אַבְנֵר וְהַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד הֹלֵךְ אַחֲרֵי הַמִּטָּה׃ | |
| 32 | They buried Abner at Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept. | וַיִּקְבְּרוּ אֶת־אַבְנֵר בְּחֶבְרֹון וַיִּשָּׂא הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת־קֹולֹו וַיֵּבְךְּ אֶל־קֶבֶר אַבְנֵר וַיִּבְכּוּ כָּל־הָעָם׃ ף | |
| 33 | And the king lamented for Abner, saying, "Should Abner die as a fool dies? | וַיְקֹןֵן הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל־אַבְנֵר וַיֹּאמַר הַכְּמֹות נָבָל יָמוּת אַבְנֵר׃ | |
| 34 | Your hands were not bound, your feet were not fettered; as one falls before the wicked you have fallen." And all the people wept again over him. | יָדֶךָ לֹא־אֲסֻרֹות וְרַגְלֶיךָ לֹא־לִנְחֻשְׁתַּיִם הֻגָּשׁוּ כִּנְפֹול לִפְנֵי בְנֵי־עַוְלָה נָפָלְתָּ וַיֹּסִפוּ כָל־הָעָם לִבְכֹּות עָלָיו׃ | |
| 35 | Then all the people came to persuade David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, "God do so to me and more also, if I taste bread or anything else till the sun goes down!" | וַיָּבֹא כָל־הָעָם לְהַבְרֹות אֶת־דָּוִד לֶחֶם בְּעֹוד הַיֹּום וַיִּשָּׁבַע דָּוִד לֵאמֹר כֹּה יַעֲשֶׂה־לִּי אֱלֹהִים וְכֹה יֹסִיף כִּי אִם־לִפְנֵי בֹוא־הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ אֶטְעַם־לֶחֶם אֹו כָל־מְאוּמָה׃ | |
| 36 | And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; as everything that the king did pleased all the people. | וְכָל־הָעָם הִכִּירוּ וַיִּיטַב בְּעֵינֵיהֶם כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה הַמֶּלֶךְ בְּעֵינֵי כָל־הָעָם טֹוב׃ | |
| 37 | So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it had not been the king's will to slay Abner the son of Ner. | וַיֵּדְעוּ כָל־הָעָם וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּיֹּום הַהוּא כִּי לֹא הָיְתָה מֵהַמֶּלֶךְ לְהָמִית אֶת־אַבְנֵר בֶּן־נֵר׃ ף | |
| 38 | And the king said to his servants, "Do you not know that a prince and a great man has fallen this day in Israel? | וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל־עֲבָדָיו הֲלֹוא תֵדְעוּ כִּי־שַׂר וְגָדֹול נָפַל הַיֹּום הַזֶּה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל׃ | |
| 39 | And I am this day weak, though anointed king; these men the sons of Zeruiah are too hard for me. Yahweh requite the evildoer according to his wickedness!" | וְאָנֹכִי הַיֹּום רַךְ וּמָשׁוּחַ מֶלֶךְ וְהָאֲנָשִׁים הָאֵלֶּה בְּנֵי צְרוּיָה קָשִׁים מִמֶּנִּי יְשַׁלֵּם יְהוָה לְעֹשֵׂה הָרָעָה כְּרָעָתֹו׃ ף | |
