David Made King over Judah
1Kemudian bertanyalah Daud kepada TUHAN, katanya: "Apakah aku harus pergi ke salah satu kota di Yehuda ?" Firman TUHAN kepadanya: "Pergilah." Lalu kata Daud: "Ke mana aku pergi ?" Firman-Nya: "Ke Hebron." 2Lalu pergilah Daud ke sana dengan kedua isterinya: Ahinoam, perempuan Yizreel, dan Abigail, bekas isteri Nabal, orang Karmel itu. 3Juga Daud membawa serta orang-orangnya yang mengiringinya masing-masing dengan rumah tangganya, dan menetaplah mereka di kota-kota Hebron. 4Kemudian datanglah orang-orang Yehuda, lalu mengurapi Daud di sana menjadi raja atas kaum Yehuda. Ketika kepada Daud diberitahukan bahwa orang-orang Yabesh-Gilead menguburkan Saul, 5maka Daud mengirim orang kepada orang-orang Yabesh-Gilead dengan pesan: "Diberkatilah kamu oleh TUHAN, karena kamu telah menunjukkan kasihmu kepada tuanmu, Saul, dengan menguburkannya. 6Oleh sebab itu, TUHAN kiranya menunjukkan kasih dan setia-Nya kepadamu. Akupun akan berbuat kebaikan yang sama kepadamu, karena kamu telah melakukan hal yang demikian. 7Kuatkanlah hatimu sekarang dan jadilah orang-orang yang gagah perkasa, sekalipun tuanmu Saul sudah mati; dan aku telah diurapi oleh kaum Yehuda menjadi raja atas mereka."
1Then it came about afterward that David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up to one of the cities of Judah?” And the LORD said to him, “Go up.” So David said, “Where shall I go up?” And He said, “To Hebron.” 2So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite. 3And David brought up his men who were with him, each with his household; and they settled in the cities of Hebron. 4Then the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah.
And they told David, saying, “It was the men of Jabesh-gilead who buried Saul.” 5So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said to them, “May you be blessed of the LORD because you have shown this kindness to Saul your lord, and have buried him. 6“And now may the LORD show kindness and truth to you; and I also will show this goodness to you, because you have done this thing. 7“Now then, let your hands be strong and be valiant, since Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them.”
And they told David, saying, “It was the men of Jabesh-gilead who buried Saul.” 5So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said to them, “May you be blessed of the LORD because you have shown this kindness to Saul your lord, and have buried him. 6“And now may the LORD show kindness and truth to you; and I also will show this goodness to you, because you have done this thing. 7“Now then, let your hands be strong and be valiant, since Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them.”
Ish-bosheth Made King over Israel
8Abner bin Ner, panglima Saul, telah mengambil Isyboset, anak Saul, dan membawanya ke Mahanaim 9serta menjadikannya raja atas Gilead, atas orang Asyuri, atas Yizreel, atas Efraim dan atas Benyamin, bahkan atas seluruh Israel. 10Isyboset bin Saul berumur empat puluh tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja atas Israel dan ia memerintah dua tahun lamanya. Hanyalah kaum Yehuda yang mengikuti Daud. 11Dan lamanya Daud memerintah di Hebron atas kaum Yehuda adalah tujuh tahun dan enam bulan.
8But Abner the son of Ner, commander of Saul’s army, had taken Ish-bosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim. 9And he made him king over Gilead, over the Ashurites, over Jezreel, over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, even over all Israel. 10Ish-bosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he became king over Israel, and he was king for two years. The house of Judah, however, followed David. 11And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
Civil War
12Lalu Abner bin Ner dengan anak buah Isyboset bin Saul bergerak maju dari Mahanaim ke Gibeon. 13Juga Yoab, anak Zeruya, dan anak buah Daud bergerak maju. Mereka saling bertemu di telaga Gibeon, lalu tinggal di sana, pihak yang satu di tepi telaga sebelah sini, dan pihak yang lain di tepi telaga sebelah sana. 14Berkatalah Abner kepada Yoab: "Biarlah orang-orang muda tampil dan mengadakan pertandingan di depan kita." Jawab Yoab: "Baik." 15Lalu tampillah mereka dan berjalan lewat dengan dihitung: dua belas orang dari suku Benyamin, dari Isyboset, anak Saul, dan dua belas orang dari anak buah Daud. 16Kemudian mereka masing-masing menangkap kepala lawannya, dan menikamkan pedangnya ke lambung lawannya, sehingga rebahlah mereka bersama-sama. Sebab itu tempat itu disebutkan orang Helkat-Hazurim; letaknya dekat Gibeon. 17Pada hari itu pertempuran sangat hebat, dan Abner serta orang-orang Israel terpukul kalah oleh anak buah Daud.
12Now Abner the son of Ner, went from Mahanaim to Gibeon with the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul. 13And Joab the son of Zeruiah and the servants of David went out and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, Abner’s men on the one side of the pool and Joab’s men on the other side of the pool. 14Then Abner said to Joab, “Now have the young men arise and hold a martial skills match in our presence.” And Joab said, “Have them arise!” 15So they got up and went over by count, twelve for Benjamin and Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve from the servants of David. 16And each one of them seized his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his opponent’s side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon. 17That day the battle was very severe, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by the servants of David.
18Ketiga anak laki-laki Zeruya, yakni Yoab, Abisai dan Asael ada di sana; Asael cepat larinya seperti kijang di padang. 19Asael mengejar Abner dan tidak menyimpang ke kanan atau ke kiri dalam membuntutinya. 20Lalu Abner berpaling ke belakang dan bertanya: "Engkaukah itu Asael ?" Jawabnya: "Ya, aku." 21Kemudian berkatalah Abner kepadanya: "Menyimpanglah ke kiri atau ke kanan, tangkaplah salah seorang dari orang-orang muda itu dan ambillah senjatanya." Tetapi Asael tidak mau berhenti membuntuti Abner. 22Berkatalah sekali lagi Abner kepada Asael: "Berhentilah membuntuti aku. Apa aku harus memukul engkau sampai jatuh ? Bagaimana aku dapat memandang muka Yoab, abangmu itu?" 23Tetapi Asael menolak berhenti. Lalu Abner menusuk ke belakang ke perut Asael dengan tombaknya, sehingga tombak itu menembus belakangnya; dan rebahlah ia di sana dan mati di tempat itu juga. Semua orang yang datang ke tempat Asael rebah dan mati itu, berhenti di sana.
18Now the three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, Abishai, and Asahel; and Asahel was as swift-footed as one of the gazelles that is in the field. 19Asahel pursued Abner and did not turn to the right or to the left from following Abner. 20Then Abner looked behind himself and said, “Is that you, Asahel?” And he said, “It is I!” 21So Abner said to him, “Turn aside for your own good to your right or to your left, and take hold of one of the young men for yourself, and take for yourself his equipment.” But Asahel was unwilling to turn aside from following him. 22Then Abner repeated again to Asahel, “Turn aside for your own good from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I show my face to your brother Joab?” 23However, he refused to turn aside; so Abner struck him in the belly with the butt end of the spear, so that the spear came out at his back. And he fell there and died on the spot. And it happened that all who came thereafter to the place where Asahel had fallen and died, stood still.
24Tetapi Yoab dan Abisai mengejar Abner. Ketika matahari masuk dan mereka sampai ke dekat bukit Ama, yang ada di sebelah timur Giah, ke arah padang gurun Gibeon, 25berhimpunlah bani Benyamin di belakang Abner menjadi satu gabungan dan bersiap-siap di puncak sebuah bukit. 26Berserulah Abner kepada Yoab: "Haruskah pedang makan terus-menerus ? Tidak tahukah engkau, bahwa kepahitan datang pada akhirnya ? Berapa lama lagi engkau tidak mau mengatakan kepada rakyat itu, supaya mereka berhenti memburu saudara-saudaranya ?" 27Jawab Yoab: "Demi Allah yang hidup, sekiranya engkau berbicara tadi, maka tentulah sudah dari tadi pagi rakyat menarik diri dari memburu saudara-saudaranya." 28Lalu Yoab meniup sangkakala dan seluruh rakyat berhenti; mereka tidak lagi mengejar orang Israel dan tidak berperang lagi. 29Semalam-malaman Abner dan orang-orangnya berjalan melalui Araba-Yordan, menyeberangi sungai Yordan, berjalan terus hampir sepanjang siang, lalu sampai ke Mahanaim.
24But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner, and when the sun was going down, they came to the hill of Ammah, which is opposite Giah by way of the wilderness of Gibeon. 25And the sons of Benjamin gathered together behind Abner and became one troop, and they stood on the top of a hill. 26Then Abner called to Joab and said, “Should the sword devour forever? Do you not realize that it will be bitter in the end? So how long will you refrain from telling the people to turn back from pursuing their kinsmen?” 27Joab said, “As God lives, if you had not spoken, then the people of Judah certainly would have withdrawn in the morning, each from pursuing his brother.” 28So Joab blew the trumpet, and all the people halted and no longer pursued Israel, nor did they continue to fight anymore. 29Abner and his men then went through the Arabah all that night; so they crossed the Jordan, walked all morning, and came to Mahanaim.
30Ketika Yoab berhenti memburu Abner dan menghimpunkan seluruh rakyat, ternyata sembilan belas orang dari anak buah Daud hilang termasuk Asael. 31Tetapi anak buah Daud menewaskan dari suku Benyamin, dari orang-orang Abner, tiga ratus enam puluh orang. 32Mereka mengangkat mayat Asael dan menguburkannya di dalam kubur ayahnya yang di Betlehem. Kemudian berjalanlah Yoab dan orang-orangnya semalam-malaman itu dan sampai ke Hebron, ketika hari sudah terang.
30Then Joab returned from pursuing Abner; but he gathered all the people together, and nineteen of David’s servants were missing, besides Asahel. 31However, the servants of David had struck and killed many of Benjamin and Abner’s men; 360 men were dead. 32And they carried Asahel away and buried him in his father’s tomb, which was in Bethlehem. Then Joab and his men traveled all night until the day dawned at Hebron.
