2Sam 2:1 And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.

וי֤על שם֙ דו֔ד וג֖ם שת֣י נש֑יו אחינ֙עם֙ היזרעל֔ית ואביג֕יל א֖שת נב֥ל הֽכרמלֽי׃

2Sam 2:2 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite.

ואנש֧יו אשר־עמ֛ו העל֥ה דו֖ד א֣יש ובית֑ו וישב֖ו בער֥י חברֽון׃

2Sam 2:3 And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.

ויב֙או֙ אנש֣י יהוד֔ה וימשחו־ש֧ם את־דו֛ד למ֖לך על־ב֣ית יהוד֑ה ויג֤דו לדוד֙ לאמ֔ר אנשי֙ יב֣יש גלע֔ד אש֥ר קבר֖ו את־שאֽול׃

2Sam 2:4 And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul.

וישל֤ח דוד֙ מלאכ֔ים אל־אנש֖י יב֣יש גלע֑ד וי֣אמר אליה֗ם ברכ֤ים אתם֙ לֽיהו֔ה אש֨ר עשית֜ם הח֣סד הז֗ה עם־אדֽניכם֙ עם־שא֔ול וֽתקבר֖ו אתֽו׃

2Sam 2:5 And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabeshgilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.

ועת֕ה יֽעש־יהו֥ה עמכ֖ם ח֣סד ואמ֑ת וג֣ם אנכ֗י אעש֤ה אתכם֙ הטוב֣ה הז֔את אש֥ר עשית֖ם הדב֥ר הזֽה׃

2Sam 2:6 And now the LORD shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.

ועת֣ה׀ תחז֣קנה ידיכ֗ם וֽהיו֙ לבני־ח֔יל כי־מ֖ת אדניכ֣ם שא֑ול וגם־את֗י משח֧ו בית־יהוד֛ה למ֖לך עליהֽם׃

2Sam 2:7 Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.

ואבנ֣ר בן־נ֔ר שר־צב֖א אש֣ר לשא֑ול לק֗ח את־א֥יש ב֙שת֙ בן־שא֔ול ויעבר֖הו מחנֽים׃

2Sam 2:8 But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;

וימלכ֙הו֙ אל־הגלע֔ד ואל־האשור֖י ואֽל־יזרע֑אל ועל־אפר֙ים֙ ועל־בנימ֔ן ועל־ישרא֖ל כלֽה׃

2Sam 2:9 And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.

בן־ארבע֨ים שנ֜ה אֽיש־ב֣שת בן־שא֗ול במלכו֙ על־ישרא֔ל ושת֥ים שנ֖ים מל֑ך א֚ך ב֣ית יהוד֔ה הי֖ו אחר֥י דוֽד׃

2Sam 2:10 Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.

וֽיהי֙ מספ֣ר הימ֔ים אשר֩ הי֨ה דו֥ד מ֛לך בחבר֖ון על־ב֣ית יהוד֑ה ש֥בע שנ֖ים ושש֥ה חדשֽים׃

2Sam 2:11 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.

ויצא֙ אבנ֣ר בן־נ֔ר ועבד֖י אֽיש־ב֣שת בן־שא֑ול מֽמחנ֖ים גבעֽונה׃

2Sam 2:12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.

ויוא֨ב בן־צרוי֜ה ועבד֤י דוד֙ יֽצא֔ו וֽיפגש֛ום על־ברכ֥ת גבע֖ון יחד֑ו וי֨שב֜ו א֤לה על־הברכה֙ מז֔ה וא֥לה על־הברכ֖ה מזֽה׃

2Sam 2:13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together 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.

וי֤אמר אבנר֙ אל־יוא֔ב יק֤ומו נא֙ הנער֔ים וֽישחק֖ו לפנ֑ינו וי֥אמר יוא֖ב יקֽמו׃

2Sam 2:14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.

ויק֖מו ויעבר֣ו במספ֑ר שנ֧ים עש֣ר לבנימ֗ן ולא֥יש ב֙שת֙ בן־שא֔ול ושנ֥ים עש֖ר מעבד֥י דוֽד׃

2Sam 2:15 Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.

וֽיחז֜קו א֣יש׀ בר֣אש רע֗הו וחרבו֙ בצ֣ד רע֔הו וֽיפל֖ו יחד֑ו ויקרא֙ למק֣ום הה֔וא חלק֥ת הצר֖ים אש֥ר בגבעֽון׃

2Sam 2:16 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon.

ותה֧י המלחמ֛ה קש֥ה עד־מא֖ד בי֣ום הה֑וא וינ֤גף אבנר֙ ואנש֣י ישרא֔ל לפנ֖י עבד֥י דוֽד׃

2Sam 2:17 And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.

ויֽהיו־ש֗ם שלשה֙ בנ֣י צרוי֔ה יוא֥ב ואביש֖י ועשהא֑ל ועשהאל֙ ק֣ל ברגל֔יו כאח֥ד הצבי֖ם אש֥ר בשדֽה׃

2Sam 2:18 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.

וירד֥ף עשהא֖ל אחר֣י אבנ֑ר ולֽא־נט֣ה לל֗כת על־הימין֙ ועֽל־השמ֔אול מאחר֖י אבנֽר׃

2Sam 2:19 And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.

וי֤פן אבנר֙ אֽחר֔יו וי֕אמר האת֥ה ז֖ה עשהא֑ל וי֖אמר אנֽכי׃

2Sam 2:20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am.

וי֧אמר ל֣ו אבנ֗ר נט֤ה לך֙ על־ימֽינך֙ א֣ו על־שמאל֔ך ואח֣ז לך֗ אחד֙ מֽהנער֔ים וקח־לך֖ את־חלצת֑ו ולֽא־אב֣ה עשהא֔ל לס֖ור מאחרֽיו׃

2Sam 2:21 And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.

וי֧סף ע֣וד אבנ֗ר לאמר֙ אל־עשהא֔ל ס֥ור לך֖ מאֽחר֑י ל֤מה אכ֙כה֙ א֔רצה ואיך֙ אש֣א פנ֔י אל־יוא֖ב אחֽיך׃

2Sam 2:22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?

וימא֣ן לס֗ור ויכ֣הו אבנר֩ באחר֨י החנ֜ית אל־הח֗מש ותצ֤א הֽחנית֙ מאחר֔יו ויפל־ש֖ם וי֣מת תחת֑יו ויה֡י כל־הב֣א אֽל־המקום֩ אשר־נ֨פל ש֧ם עשהא֛ל וימ֖ת וֽיעמֽדו׃

2Sam 2:23 Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.

וֽירדפ֛ו יוא֥ב ואביש֖י אחר֣י אבנ֑ר והש֣מש ב֔אה וה֗מה ב֚או עד־גבע֣ת אמ֔ה אשר֙ על־פני־ג֔יח ד֖רך מדב֥ר גבעֽון׃

2Sam 2:24 Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.

ויֽתקבצ֤ו בנֽי־בנימן֙ אחר֣י אבנ֔ר ויהי֖ו לאגד֣ה אח֑ת וי֣עמד֔ו ע֥ל ראש־גבע֖ה אחֽת׃

2Sam 2:25 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.

ויקר֨א אבנ֜ר אל־יוא֗ב וי֙אמר֙ הלנ֙צח֙ ת֣אכל ח֔רב הל֣וא יד֔עתה כֽי־מר֥ה תהי֖ה באחרונ֑ה ועד־מתי֙ לֽא־תאמ֣ר לע֔ם לש֖וב מאחר֥י אחיהֽם׃

2Sam 2:26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?

וי֣אמר יוא֔ב ח֚י הֽאלה֔ים כ֥י לול֖א דב֑רת כ֣י א֤ז מֽהב֙קר֙ נעל֣ה הע֔ם א֖יש מאחר֥י אחֽיו׃

2Sam 2:27 And Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.

ויתק֤ע יואב֙ בשופ֔ר ויֽעמדו֙ כל־הע֔ם ולֽא־ירדפ֥ו ע֖וד אחר֣י ישרא֑ל ולֽא־יספ֥ו ע֖וד להלחֽם׃

2Sam 2:28 So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.

ואבנ֣ר וֽאנש֗יו הֽלכו֙ בֽערב֔ה כ֖ל הל֣ילה הה֑וא ויעבר֣ו את־הירד֗ן ויֽלכו֙ כל־הבתר֔ון ויב֖או מחנֽים׃

2Sam 2:29 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.

ויוא֗ב ש֚ב מאחר֣י אבנ֔ר ויקב֖ץ את־כל־הע֑ם ויפ֨קד֜ו מעבד֥י דו֛ד תשעֽה־עש֥ר א֖יש ועשה־אֽל׃

2Sam 2:30 And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.

ועבד֣י דו֗ד הכו֙ מבנימ֔ן ובאנש֖י אבנ֑ר שלש־מא֧ות ושש֛ים א֖יש מֽתו׃

2Sam 2:31 But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred and threescore men died.

וישאו֙ את־עשהא֔ל וֽיקבר֙הו֙ בק֣בר אב֔יו אש֖ר ב֣ית ל֑חם וילכ֣ו כל־הל֗ילה יואב֙ וֽאנש֔יו ויא֥ר לה֖ם בחברֽון׃

2Sam 2:32 And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
