2 Samuel 3 - Bíblia Online

Houve uma guerra prolongada entre a casa de Saul e a casa de Davi. Davi ia-se fortalecendo cada vez mais, mas a casa de Saul cada vez mais enfraquecendo. 
Nasceram filhos a Davi em Hebrom. Foi o seu primogênito Amnom, de Ainoã jezreelita; 
o seu segundo, Quileabe, de Abigail que fora mulher de Nabal carmelita; o terceiro, Absalão, filho de Maaca, filha de Talmai, rei de Gesur; 
o quarto, Adonias, filho de Hagite; o quinto, Sefatias, filho de Abital; 
e o sexto, Itreão, filho de Eglá, mulher de Davi. Estes filhos nasceram a Davi em Hebrom. 
Havendo guerra entre a casa de Saul e a casa de Davi, Abner fazia-se poderoso na casa de Saul. 
Ora, Saul teve uma concubina, cujo nome era Rispa, filha de Aiá. Is-Bosete perguntou: Por que entraste à concubina de meu pai? 
Abner, em extremo irado pelas palavras de Is-Bosete, respondeu: Sou eu alguma cabeça de cão que pertence a Judá? Hoje uso de beneficência para com a casa de Saul, teu pai, para com seus irmãos e amigos, e não te entreguei nas mãos de Davi; contudo me queres culpar por causa desta mulher. 
Assim faça Deus a Abner e mais ainda se, como Jeová jurou a Davi, eu não lhe fizer, 
transferindo da casa de Saul o reino, e estabelecendo o trono de Davi sobre Israel e sobre Judá desde Dã até Berseba. 
Ele não pôde responder palavra a Abner, porque o temia. 
Abner enviou a seu favor mensageiros a Davi, dizendo: De quem é a terra? Faze comigo a tua aliança, e eis que a minha mão será contigo, para tornar a ti todo o Israel. 
Respondeu Davi: Bem está, eu farei aliança contigo; mas exijo de ti uma só cousa, a saber, não verás a minha face sem primeiro trazeres Mical, filha de Saul, quando vieres ver a minha face. 
Davi enviou mensageiros a Is-Bosete, filho de Saul, que lhe dissessem: Restitui-me minha mulher Mical, que desposei por cem prepúcios de filisteus. 
Enviou Is-Bosete, e a tirou a seu marido, Paltiel, filho de Laís, 
que a seguia chorando, até Baurim. Disse-lhe Abner: Vai-te, volta; e ele voltou. 
Abner tinha falado com os anciãos de Israel, dizendo: Em tempos idos procuráveis a Davi para que reinasse sobre vós. 
Fazei-o agora, porque Jeová disse dele: Por meio do meu servo Davi livrarei o meu povo de Israel da mão dos filisteus, e da mão de todos os seus inimigos. 
Falou do mesmo modo Abner aos ouvidos de Benjamim, e foi também dizer aos ouvidos de Davi em Hebrom tudo o que pareceu bem aos olhos de Israel e de toda a casa de Benjamim. 
Veio Abner ter com Davi em Hebrom e levou consigo vinte homens. Davi deu um banquete a Abner e aos homens que vieram com ele. 
Disse Abner a Davi: Levantar-me-ei e irei, e ajuntarei ao rei meu senhor todo o Israel; farão contigo aliança, e reinarás sobre tudo o que desejar a tua alma. Assim despediu Davi a Abner, e foi-se ele em paz. 
Eis que os servos de Davi e de Joabe voltaram duma correria, e traziam consigo grande despojo. Abner, porém, já não estava com Davi em Hebrom, porque Davi o tinha despedido, e ele tinha ido em paz. 
Quando Joabe, e toda a hoste que estava com ele, tinham chegado, disseram-lhe: Abner, filho de Ner, veio ter com o rei, que o despediu, e ele se foi em paz. 
Joabe foi ao rei e disse: Que fizeste? eis que Abner veio ter contigo; como é que o despediste, e ele já se foi? 
Conheces a Abner, filho de Ner! Ele veio para te enganar, e para saber a tua saída e a tua entrada, e para ter conhecimento de tudo o que tu estás fazendo. 
Retirando-se Joabe de Davi, enviou mensageiros atrás de Abner, e fizeram-no voltar da cisterna de Sirá; porém Davi não o sabia. 
Tendo Abner voltado a Hebrom, Joabe o levou à parte, ao meio da porta, para lhe falar em segredo, e feriu-o ali na barriga. Assim morreu ele por causa do sangue de Asael, irmão de Joabe. 
Depois quando Davi o soube, disse: Eu para todo o sempre estou com o meu reino inocente diante de Jeová do sangue de Abner, filho de Ner. 
Caia esse sangue sobre Joabe e sobre toda a casa de seu pai. Não falte nunca da casa de Joabe quem tenha fluxo, quem seja leproso, quem pegue no fuso, quem seja morto à espada, nem quem necessite de pão. 
Joabe e Abisai mataram a Abner, porque ele tinha morto a Asael, irmão deles, na batalha em Gibeão. 
Disse Davi a Joabe e a todo o povo que estava com ele: Rasgai os vossos vestidos, cingi-vos de sacos e pranteai diante de Abner. O rei Davi ia seguindo o féretro. 
Sepultaram a Abner em Hebrom; o rei levantou a voz e chorou junto da sepultura de Abner, chorou também todo o povo. 
O rei pranteou a Abner e disse: Há de morrer Abner como morre o perverso? 
As tuas mãos não foram atadas, nem os teus pés carregados de grilhões. Como quem cai diante dos filhos de iniqüidade, assim caíste. Todo o povo tornou a chorar sobre ele. 
Então veio todo o povo para fazer que Davi comesse pão, sendo ainda dia; mas Davi jurou, dizendo: Assim me faça Deus, e mais ainda, se eu provar pão ou o que quer que seja, antes do sol posto. 
Todo o povo notou isso, e pareceu-lhe bem; assim como tudo quanto fez o rei, pareceu bem a todo o povo. 
Assim todo o povo e todo o Israel entenderam naquele dia que não era a vontade do rei que fosse morto Abner, filho de Ner. 
Disse o rei aos seus servos: Não sabeis que um príncipe e um grande homem caiu hoje em Israel? 
Eu estou hoje fraco, embora ungido rei; e estes homens, filhos de Zeruia, são fortes demais para mim. Retribua Jeová ao malfeitor segundo a sua maldade. 

Now there was a long war between Saul's people and David's people; and David became stronger and stronger, but those on Saul's side became more and more feeble. 
While David was in Hebron he became the father of sons: the oldest was Amnon, son of Ahinoam of Jezreel; 
And the second, Chileab, whose mother was Abigail, the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom, son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur; 
And the fourth, Adonijah, the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah, the son of Abital; 
And the sixth, Ithream, whose mother was David's wife Eglah. These were the sons of David, whose birth took place in Hebron. 
Now while there was war between Saul's people and David's people, Abner was making himself strong among the supporters of Saul. 
Now Saul had among his wives a woman named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Why have you taken my father's wife? 
And Abner was very angry at the words of Ish-bosheth, and he said, Am I a dog's head of Judah? I am this day doing all in my power for the cause of your father Saul and for his brothers and his friends, and have not given you up into the hands of David, and now you say I have done wrong with a woman. 
May God's punishment be on Abner, if I do not for David as the Lord in his oath has said, 
And if I do not take away the kingdom from the family of Saul and make David ruler over Israel and Judah from Dan as far as Beer-sheba! 
And so great was Ish-bosheth's fear of Abner that he was not able to say a word in answer. 
And Abner sent men to David at Hebron, saying, Make an agreement with me, and I will give you my support in getting all Israel on your side. 
And he said, It is well; I will make an agreement with you, but on one condition, which is, that when you come before me, Saul's daughter Michal is to come with you; till she comes you will not see my face. 
And David sent men to Saul's son Ish-bosheth, saying, Give me back Michal, my wife, whom I made mine for the price of the private parts of a hundred Philistines. 
So Ish-bosheth sent and took her from her husband Paltiel, the son of Laish. 
And her husband went with her as far as Bahurim, weeping while he went. Then Abner said to him, Go back. And he went back. 
Then Abner had a talk with the chief men of Israel, saying, In the past it was your desire to make David your king: so now, do it: 
For the Lord has said of David, By the hand of my servant David I will make my people Israel safe from the Philistines, and from all who are against them. 
And Abner said the same things to Benjamin: and he went to David in Hebron to make clear to him what seemed good to Israel and to all the people of Benjamin. 
So Abner, with twenty men, came to Hebron, to David. And David made a feast for Abner and the men who were with him. 
And Abner said to David, Now I will go, and make all Israel come to my lord the king, so that they may make an agreement with you, and your kingdom may be as wide as your heart's desire. Then David sent Abner away and he went in peace. 
Now the servants of David and Joab had been out attacking a band of armed men, and they came back with a great store of goods taken in the fight: but Abner was no longer in Hebron with David, for he had sent him away and he had gone in peace. 
When Joab and his men came, news was given them that Abner, the son of Ner, had come to the king, who had let him go away again in peace. 
Then Joab came to the king, and said, What have you done? when Abner came to you why did you send him away and let him go? 
Is it not clear to you that Abner, the son of Ner, came with deceit to get knowledge of your going out and your coming in and of all you are doing? 
And when Joab had come out from David, he sent men after Abner, and they overtook him at the water-spring of Sirah, and made him come back with them: but David had no knowledge of it. 
And when Abner was back in Hebron, Joab took him on one side by the doorway of the town to have a word with him quietly, and there he gave him a wound in the stomach, causing his death in payment for the death of his brother Asahel. 
And when David had word of it he said, May I and my kingdom be clear for ever in the eyes of the Lord from the blood of Abner, the son of Ner: 
May it come on the head of Joab and all his father's family: among the men of Joab's family may there ever be some who are diseased or lepers, or who do the work of women, or are put to the sword, or are wasted from need of food! 
So Joab and Abishai his brother put Abner to death, because he had put to death their brother Asahel in the fight at Gibeon. 
And David said to Joab and all the people who were with him, Go in grief and put haircloth about you, in sorrow for Abner. And King David went after the dead body. 
And they put Abner's body to rest in Hebron; and the king and all the people were weeping loudly by the resting-place of Abner's body. 
And the king made a song of grief for Abner and said, Was the death of Abner to be like the death of a foolish man? 
Your hands were free, your feet were not chained: like the downfall of a man before evil men, so was your fall. And the weeping of the people over him went on again. 
And the people came to make David take food, while it was still day, but David with an oath said, May God's punishment be on me if I take a taste of bread or any other thing till the sun has gone down! 
And all the people took note of it and were pleased: like everything the king did, it was pleasing to the people. 
So it was clear to Israel and to all the people on that day that the king was not responsible for the death of Abner, the son of Ner. 
And the king said to his servants, Do you not see that a chief and a great man has come to his end today in Israel? 
While I, though I am crowned king, have little strength, and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are out of my control: may the Lord give to the evil-doer the reward of his evil-doing!
