2 Sa-mu-ên 20

Kinh Thánh Bản Truyền Thống ⇄ NET Bible

अध्ययनNgười gian tà — 'Gian tà' có nghĩa là không có giá trị; một 'người gian tà' là kẻ khinh suất. Sê-ba, một người Bên-gia-min, phản ánh chi tộc của Sau-lơ và kêu gọi Y-sơ-ra-ên đào ngũ khỏi Đa-vít với lời hô hào 'mỗi người hãy trở về trại mình'—cùng một lời hô hào được sử dụng khi Y-sơ-ra-ên chối bỏ Rô-bô-am.Now a wicked man named Sheba son of Bicri, a Benjaminite, happened to be there. He blew the trumpet and said, “We have no share in David; we have no inheritance in this son of Jesse! Every man go home, O Israel!”

So all the men of Israel deserted David and followed Sheba son of Bicri. But the men of Judah stuck by their king all the way from the Jordan River to Jerusalem.

अध्ययनCung phi của Đa-vít — Sau khi Áp-sa-lôm công khai ngủ với họ (2 Sa-mu-ên 16:22), Đa-vít giam cầm họ như góa phụ, không còn thân mật nữa. Điều này cho thấy sự xấu hổ dai dẳng của cuộc phản loạn của Áp-sa-lôm và sự thất bại của Đa-vít trong việc khôi phục cho họ.(2SA 16:22)Then David went to his palace in Jerusalem. The king took the ten concubines he had left to care for the palace and placed them under confinement. Though he provided for their needs, he did not have sexual relations with them. They remained in confinement until the day they died, living out the rest of their lives as widows.

Then the king said to Amasa, “Call the men of Judah together for me in three days, and you be present here with them too.”

So Amasa went out to call Judah together. But in doing so he took longer than the time that the king had allotted him.

Then David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba son of Bicri will cause greater disaster for us than Absalom did! Take your lord’s servants and pursue him. Otherwise he will secure fortified cities for himself and get away from us.”

So Joab’s men, accompanied by the Kerethites, the Pelethites, and all the warriors, left Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bicri.

When they were near the big rock that is in Gibeon, Amasa came to them. Now Joab was dressed in military attire and had a dagger in its sheath belted to his waist. When he advanced, it fell out.

अध्ययनSự phản bội của Giô-áp — Giô-áp chào A-ma-sa bằng một nụ hôn trong khi bí mật rút kiếm, giống như cách ông đã giết A-bê-nê (2 Sa-mu-ên 3:27). Bạo lực của ông loại bỏ một đối thủ và đảm bảo vị trí của mình, nhưng đó là một vụ giết người tàn nhẫn.(2SA 3:27)Joab said to Amasa, “How are you, my brother?” With his right hand Joab took hold of Amasa’s beard as if to greet him with a kiss.

Amasa did not protect himself from the knife in Joab’s other hand, and Joab stabbed him in the abdomen, causing Amasa’s intestines to spill out on the ground. There was no need to stab him again; the first blow was fatal. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of Bicri.

One of Joab’s soldiers who stood over Amasa said, “Whoever is for Joab and whoever is for David, follow Joab!”

Amasa was squirming in his own blood in the middle of the path, and this man had noticed that all the soldiers stopped. Having noticed that everyone who came across Amasa stopped, the man pulled him away from the path and into the field and threw a garment over him.

Once he had removed Amasa from the path, everyone followed Joab to pursue Sheba son of Bicri.

Sheba traveled through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth Maacah and all the Berite region. When they had assembled, they too joined him.

So Joab’s men came and laid siege against him in Abel of Beth Maacah. They prepared a siege ramp outside the city which stood against its outer rampart. As all of Joab’s soldiers were trying to break through the wall so that it would collapse,

a wise woman called out from the city, “Listen up! Listen up! Tell Joab, ‘Come near so that I may speak to you.’”

When he approached her, the woman asked, “Are you Joab?” He replied, “I am.” She said to him, “Listen to the words of your servant.” He said, “Go ahead. I’m listening.”

अध्ययनMột người mẹ tại Y-sơ-ra-ên — Người phụ nữ gọi A-bê là 'một người mẹ tại Y-sơ-ra-ên'—một thành phố quan trọng và có di sản. Bà cầu xin rằng việc tiêu diệt nó sẽ nuốt chửng sự thừa kế của CHÚA, kêu gọi lòng trung thành với giao ước và danh tiếng cổ xưa của thành phố trong việc giải quyết tranh chấp.She said, “In the past they would always say, ‘Let them inquire in Abel,’ and that is how they settled things.

I represent the peaceful and the faithful in Israel. You are attempting to destroy an important city in Israel. Why should you swallow up the Lord’s inheritance?”

Joab answered, “Get serious! I don’t want to swallow up or destroy anything!

That’s not the way things are. There is a man from the hill country of Ephraim named Sheba son of Bicri. He has rebelled against King David. Give me just this one man, and I will leave the city.” The woman said to Joab, “This very minute his head will be thrown over the wall to you!”

अध्ययनSự khôn ngoan cứu thành phố — Người phụ nữ thuyết phục dân làng xử tử Sê-ba, chấm dứt cuộc bao vây mà không đổ máu thêm. Sự khôn ngoan của bà phản ánh lời ca ngợi của Châm ngôn về lời khuyên khôn ngoan và cho thấy một người có thể tránh được tai họa như thế nào.Then the woman went to all the people with her wise advice and they cut off Sheba’s head and threw it out to Joab. Joab blew the trumpet, and his men dispersed from the city, each going to his own home. Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem.

Now Joab was the general in command of all the army of Israel. Benaiah the son of Jehoida was over the Kerethites and the Perethites.

Adoniram was supervisor of the work crews. Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the secretary.

Sheva was the scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests.

Ira the Jairite was David’s personal priest.
