David gewinnt an Stärke. Abner geht zu David über

1 Und der Krieg zwischen dem Haus Sauls und dem Haus Davids zog sich lange hin. David aber erstarkte zusehends, während das Haus Sauls immer schwächer wurde. (Hi 9,4; Hi 17,9; Ps 84,8; Spr 4,18; Spr 21,30; Jes 8,10; Hebr 10,32)

2 Und David wurden in Hebron Söhne geboren. Sein erstgeborener Sohn war Amnon, von Achinoam, der Jesreelitin; (2Sam 13,1; Ps 127,3) 3 der zweite Kileab, von Abigail, der Frau Nabals, des Karmeliters; der dritte Absalom, der Sohn der Maacha, der Tochter Talmais, des Königs von Geschur; (2Sam 2,2; 2Sam 13,37; 2Sam 14,23; 2Sam 15,1; 1Chr 3,1)

2Sam 2,22Sam 13,372Sam 14,232Sam 15,11Chr 3,1

4 der vierte Adonija, der Sohn der Haggit; der fünfte Schephatja, der Sohn der Abital; (2Sam 2,13; 1Kön 1,5; 1Chr 3,3) 5 der sechste Jithream von Egla, der Frau Davids; diese wurden David in Hebron geboren. (1Chr 3,3) 6 Solange nun der Krieg zwischen dem Haus Sauls und dem Haus Davids dauerte, hielt Abner fest zum Haus Sauls. (2Sam 2,8; 2Sam 3,1; 2Chr 25,8; Mt 12,30)

2Sam 2,82Sam 3,12Chr 25,8Mt 12,30

7 Nun hatte Saul eine Nebenfrau gehabt, die hieß Rizpa, eine Tochter Ajas. Und [Ischboseth] sprach zu Abner: Warum bist du zu der Nebenfrau meines Vaters eingegangen? (2Sam 16,21; 2Sam 19,6; 2Sam 21,8) 8 Da wurde Abner sehr zornig über diese Worte Ischboseths und sprach: Bin ich denn ein Hundskopf, der es mit Juda hält? [Noch] heute erweise ich Güte am Haus deines Vaters Saul und an seinen Brüdern und an seinen Freunden, dass ich dich nicht in die Hand Davids ausgeliefert habe. Und du wirfst mir heute ein Vergehen mit dieser Frau vor? (1Sam 24,15; 2Sam 9,8; 2Sam 16,9) 9 Gott tue dem Abner dies und das, wenn ich nicht, wie der HERR dem David geschworen hat, genauso an ihm handeln werde: (Rut 1,17; 1Sam 15,28; 1Sam 16,1; 1Sam 16,12; 1Sam 28,17; 2Sam 3,35; 2Sam 19,14; 1Chr 12,23; Ps 89,21; Ps 89,35)

10 dass ich das Königreich vom Haus Sauls wegnehme und den Thron Davids aufrichte über Israel und über Juda, von Dan bis nach Beerscheba! (2Sam 17,11; 2Sam 24,2; 2Sam 24,15; 1Chr 21,2; 2Chr 30,5)

2Sam 17,112Sam 24,22Sam 24,151Chr 21,22Chr 30,5

11 Da konnte er Abner kein Wort mehr antworten, so fürchtete er sich vor ihm. 12 Und Abner sandte auf der Stelle Boten zu David und ließ ihm sagen: Wem gehört das Land? Und er ließ ihm noch sagen: Mache einen Bund mit mir! Siehe, meine Hand soll mit dir sein, um ganz Israel auf deine Seite zu bringen! (1Mo 21,27; Jos 24,25; 1Sam 18,3; 2Sam 3,21; 2Sam 5,1; 2Sam 5,3)

1Mo 21,27Jos 24,251Sam 18,32Sam 3,212Sam 5,12Sam 5,3

13 Und [David] sprach: Gut, ich will einen Bund mit dir machen; aber eines verlange ich von dir, nämlich: Du sollst mein Angesicht nicht sehen, ohne mir zuvor Michal, die Tochter Sauls, zu bringen, wenn du kommst, um mir unter die Augen zu treten! (1Sam 18,20; 1Sam 19,11; 1Chr 15,29) 14 Und David sandte Boten zu Ischboseth, dem Sohn Sauls, und ließ ihm sagen: Gib mir meine Frau Michal, die ich mir um 100 Vorhäute der Philister zur Frau gewonnen^[1] habe! (2Sam 3,13) 15 Da sandte Ischboseth hin und ließ sie von ihrem Mann Paltiel, dem Sohn des Lais, wegnehmen. (1Sam 25,44) 16 Und ihr Mann ging mit ihr und weinte stets hinter ihr her bis nach Bachurim. Abner aber sprach zu ihm: Geh und kehre um! Da kehrte er um. (2Sam 16,5; 2Sam 19,17) 17 Abner hatte auch eine Unterredung mit den Ältesten von Israel, und er sprach: Ihr habt schon früher danach getrachtet, dass David euer König werden sollte. (Ri 11,11; 2Sam 5,1) 18 So führt es nun aus! Denn der HERR hat von David gesprochen und gesagt: Durch die Hand meines Knechtes David will ich mein Volk Israel erretten aus der Hand der Philister und aus der Hand aller ihrer Feinde! (2Sam 3,9; Ps 89,4; Ps 89,20; Ps 132,17)

2Sam 3,9Ps 89,4Ps 89,20Ps 132,17

19 Und Abner redete auch vor den Ohren der Benjaminiter, und danach ging Abner auch hin, um vor den Ohren Davids in Hebron alles das zu reden, was Israel und dem ganzen Haus Benjamin wohlgefiel. (1Sam 10,21; 1Chr 12,29; Spr 16,7) 20 Als nun Abner mit 20 Männern zu David nach Hebron kam, bereitete David Abner und den Männern, die bei ihm waren, ein Mahl. (1Mo 26,30; 1Mo 31,54; 2Kön 6,23; Lk 5,29)

1Mo 26,301Mo 31,542Kön 6,23Lk 5,29

21 Und Abner sprach zu David: Ich will mich aufmachen und hingehen und ganz Israel zu meinem Herrn, dem König, versammeln, damit sie einen Bund mit dir machen und du König bist über alles, was dein Herz begehrt! So entließ David Abner, und er ging in Frieden fort. (2Sam 3,9; 1Kön 11,37; Ps 20,5)

Joab tötet Abner

22 Und siehe, die Knechte Davids und Joab kamen von einem Streifzug und brachten große Beute mit sich. Aber Abner war nicht mehr bei David in Hebron, sondern er hatte ihn entlassen, sodass er in Frieden weggezogen war. (2Sam 3,20) 23 Als nun Joab mit dem ganzen Heer kam, teilte man Joab mit: Abner, der Sohn Ners, ist zum König gekommen, und er hat ihn entlassen, sodass er in Frieden fortgegangen ist! (2Sam 3,21) 24 Da ging Joab zum König hinein und sprach: Was hast du getan? Siehe, Abner ist zu dir gekommen! Warum hast du ihn ziehen lassen, dass er gehen kann, wohin er will? (4Mo 23,11; 2Sam 3,39; 2Sam 19,6; 1Kön 1,7; Joh 18,35)

4Mo 23,112Sam 3,392Sam 19,61Kön 1,7Joh 18,35

25 Du kennst doch Abner, den Sohn Ners; der ist gekommen, um dich zu überlisten und deinen Ausgang und deinen Eingang zu erkennen und alles zu erkunden, was du tust! (1Mo 42,9; 1Mo 42,12; 2Sam 10,3; 1Kor 13,5)

1Mo 42,91Mo 42,122Sam 10,31Kor 13,5

26 Und als Joab von David hinausging, sandte er Abner Boten nach, und sie holten ihn vom Brunnen Sira zurück. Aber David wusste nichts davon. (Spr 26,23; Spr 27,4) 27 Als nun Abner wieder nach Hebron kam, führte ihn Joab beiseite in das Tor, um in der Stille mit ihm zu reden; und er stach ihn dort in den Bauch, dass er starb — wegen des Blutes seines Bruders Asahel. (5Mo 27,24; 2Sam 2,19; 2Sam 4,6; 2Sam 20,9; 1Kön 2,5; Spr 26,24)

5Mo 27,242Sam 2,192Sam 4,62Sam 20,91Kön 2,5Spr 26,24

28 Als David es danach erfuhr, sprach er: Ich und mein Königreich sind ewiglich unschuldig vor dem HERRN an dem Blut Abners, des Sohnes Ners! (1Mo 9,6; 2Mo 21,12; 4Mo 35,33; 5Mo 27,25; 2Kön 21,16; 2Kön 24,4; Mt 27,24)

1Mo 9,62Mo 21,124Mo 35,335Mo 27,252Kön 21,162Kön 24,4Mt 27,24

29 Es falle aber auf den Kopf Joabs und auf das ganze Haus seines Vaters, und es soll im Haus Joabs nie an einem fehlen, der einen Ausfluss oder Aussatz hat, der zur Spindel greifen muss,^[2] der durchs Schwert fällt oder der an Brot Mangel leidet! (3Mo 13,2; 2Sam 12,10; 1Kön 2,32; Ps 7,17; Ps 37,25; Ps 109,10; Ps 109,17)

3Mo 13,22Sam 12,101Kön 2,32Ps 7,17Ps 37,25Ps 109,10Ps 109,17

30 So brachten Joab und sein Bruder Abisai den Abner um, weil er ihren Bruder Asahel im Kampf in Gibeon getötet hatte. (2Sam 2,19) 31 David aber sprach zu Joab und zu dem ganzen Volk, das mit ihm war: Zerreißt eure Kleider und umgürtet euch mit Sacktuch und stimmt die Totenklage für Abner an! Und der König David ging hinter der Bahre her. (1Mo 37,29; 2Sam 1,2; 2Sam 1,11; 2Kön 19,1; Neh 9,1; Est 4,1; Jon 3,5)

1Mo 37,292Sam 1,22Sam 1,112Kön 19,1Neh 9,1Est 4,1Jon 3,5

32 Und als sie Abner in Hebron begruben, erhob der König seine Stimme und weinte bei Abners Grab; auch alles Volk weinte. (2Sam 1,12; 2Sam 19,1; Lk 19,41; Röm 12,15)

2Sam 1,122Sam 19,1Lk 19,41Röm 12,15

33 Und der König stimmte ein Klagelied über Abner an und sprach: »Sollte denn Abner sterben, wie ein Tor stirbt? (4Mo 23,10; Spr 14,32; Jes 57,2) 34 Deine Hände waren nicht gebunden, noch deine Füße in Ketten geschlossen; du bist gefallen, wie man vor [den] Söhnen der Bosheit fällt!« Da beweinte ihn das ganze Volk noch mehr. (Ri 16,21; 2Sam 1,12; Hi 24,14; Hos 6,9)

Ri 16,212Sam 1,12Hi 24,14Hos 6,9

35 Und das ganze Volk trat hinzu, um David Brot zu reichen,^[3] während es noch Tag war. Und David schwor und sprach: Gott tue mir dies und das, wenn ich Brot oder irgendetwas genieße, ehe die Sonne untergegangen ist! (Ri 20,26; 2Sam 1,12; 2Sam 3,9; 2Sam 12,17)

Ri 20,262Sam 1,122Sam 3,92Sam 12,17

36 Und das ganze Volk nahm es wahr, und es gefiel ihnen wohl; alles, was der König tat, war gut in den Augen des ganzen Volkes. (2Sam 15,6; 2Sam 15,13) 37 Und das ganze Volk und ganz Israel erkannte an jenem Tag, dass es nicht vom König ausgegangen war, Abner, den Sohn Ners, zu töten. (2Sam 3,27) 38 Und der König sprach zu seinen Knechten: Wisst ihr nicht, dass heute ein Fürst und ein Großer in Israel gefallen ist? (1Sam 14,50; 1Sam 26,15) 39 Ich aber bin heute schwach, obwohl ich zum König gesalbt bin; und diese Männer, die Söhne der Zeruja, sind mir zu hart. Der HERR vergelte dem, der Böses tut, entsprechend seiner Bosheit! (2Sam 19,6; 1Kön 2,6; 1Kön 2,33; 1Kön 12,4; 1Kön 12,13; Ps 28,4; Ps 62,13; Ps 101,7; Jes 3,11; Jer 5,3; 2Tim 4,14)

King James Version

1 Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker. 2 And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; 3 And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; 4 And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital; 5 And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David' wife. These were born to David in Hebron. 6 And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul. 7 And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ishbosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father' concubine? 8 Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ishbosheth, and said, Am I a dog' head, which against Judah do shew kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou chargest me to day with a fault concerning this woman? 9 So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD hath sworn to David, even so I do to him; 10 To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba. 11 And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him. 12 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying also , Make thy league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring about all Israel unto thee. 13 And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul' daughter, when thou comest to see my face. 14 And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul' son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for an hundred foreskins of the Philistines. 15 And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Phaltiel the son of Laish. 16 And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return. And he returned. 17 And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David in times past to be king over you: 18 Now then do it : for the LORD hath spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies. 19 And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin. 20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a feast. 21 And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a league with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace. 22 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from pursuing a troop, and brought in a great spoil with them: but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace. 23 When Joab and all the host that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace. 24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone? 25 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest. 26 And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him again from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not. 27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there under the fifth rib , that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother. 28 And afterward when David heard it , he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner: 29 Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father' house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread. 30 So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle. 31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David himself followed the bier. 32 And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept. 33 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth? 34 Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man falleth before wicked men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him. 35 And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down. 36 And all the people took notice of it , and it pleased them: as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people. 37 For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner. 38 And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel? 39 And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah be too hard for me: the LORD shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness.

New International Version

1 The war between the house of Saul and the house of David lasted a long time. David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker. 2 Sons were born to David in Hebron: his firstborn was Amnon the son of Ahinoam of Jezreel; 3 his second, Kileab the son of Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel; the third, Absalom the son of Maakah daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; 4 the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital; 5 and the sixth, Ithream the son of David’s wife Eglah. These were born to David in Hebron.

Abner goes over to David

6 During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner had been strengthening his own position in the house of Saul. 7 Now Saul had had a concubine named Rizpah daughter of Aiah. And Ish-Bosheth said to Abner, ‘Why did you sleep with my father’s concubine?’ 8 Abner was very angry because of what Ish-Bosheth said. So he answered, ‘Am I a dog’s head – on Judah’s side? This very day I am loyal to the house of your father Saul and to his family and friends. I haven’t handed you over to David. Yet now you accuse me of an offence involving this woman! 9 May God deal with Abner, be it ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the Lord promised him on oath 10 and transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and establish David’s throne over Israel and Judah from Dan to Beersheba.’ 11 Ish-Bosheth did not dare to say another word to Abner, because he was afraid of him. 12 Then Abner sent messengers on his behalf to say to David, ‘Whose land is it? Make an agreement with me, and I will help you bring all Israel over to you.’ 13 ‘Good,’ said David. ‘I will make an agreement with you. But I demand one thing of you: do not come into my presence unless you bring Michal daughter of Saul when you come to see me.’ 14 Then David sent messengers to Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, demanding, ‘Give me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for the price of a hundred Philistine foreskins.’ 15 So Ish-Bosheth gave orders and had her taken away from her husband Paltiel son of Laish. 16 Her husband, however, went with her, weeping behind her all the way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, ‘Go back home!’ So he went back. 17 Abner conferred with the elders of Israel and said, ‘For some time you have wanted to make David your king. 18 Now do it! For the Lord promised David, “By my servant David I will rescue my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.” ’ 19 Abner also spoke to the Benjaminites in person. Then he went to Hebron to tell David everything that Israel and the whole tribe of Benjamin wanted to do. 20 When Abner, who had twenty men with him, came to David at Hebron, David prepared a feast for him and his men. 21 Then Abner said to David, ‘Let me go at once and assemble all Israel for my lord the king, so that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may rule over all that your heart desires.’ So David sent Abner away, and he went in peace.

Joab murders Abner

22 Just then David’s men and Joab returned from a raid and brought with them a great deal of plunder. But Abner was no longer with David in Hebron, because David had sent him away, and he had gone in peace. 23 When Joab and all the soldiers with him arrived, he was told that Abner son of Ner had come to the king and that the king had sent him away and that he had gone in peace. 24 So Joab went to the king and said, ‘What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why did you let him go? Now he is gone! 25 You know Abner son of Ner; he came to deceive you and observe your movements and find out everything you are doing.’ 26 Joab then left David and sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the cistern at Sirah. But David did not know it. 27 Now when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into an inner chamber, as if to speak with him privately. And there, to avenge the blood of his brother Asahel, Joab stabbed him in the stomach, and he died. 28 Later, when David heard about this, he said, ‘I and my kingdom are for ever innocent before the Lord concerning the blood of Abner son of Ner. 29 May his blood fall on the head of Joab and on his whole family! May Joab’s family never be without someone who has a running sore or leprosy^[1] or who leans on a crutch or who falls by the sword or who lacks food.’ 30 (Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle of Gibeon.) 31 Then David said to Joab and all the people with him, ‘Tear your clothes and put on sackcloth and walk in mourning in front of Abner.’ King David himself walked behind the bier. 32 They buried Abner in Hebron, and the king wept aloud at Abner’s tomb. All the people wept also. 33 The king sang this lament for Abner: ‘Should Abner have died as the lawless die? 34 Your hands were not bound, your feet were not fettered. You fell as one falls before the wicked.’ And all the people wept over him again. 35 Then they all came and urged David to eat something while it was still day; but David took an oath, saying, ‘May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets!’ 36 All the people took note and were pleased; indeed, everything the king did pleased them. 37 So on that day all the people there and all Israel knew that the king had no part in the murder of Abner son of Ner. 38 Then the king said to his men, ‘Do you not realise that a commander and a great man has fallen in Israel this day? 39 And today, though I am the anointed king, I am weak, and these sons of Zeruiah are too strong for me. May the Lord repay the evildoer according to his evil deeds!’
